Chapter 308 You're Quite Impressive
"Alyssa, be careful! What Mountain Rabbit said might all be true, this guy is really strange and completely nullified my combat techniques!" Dante shouted while desperately trying to control the raging fire energy within him.
In the past, Dante would have felt completely at ease facing Alyssa.
After all, her strength as a Level 6 Beast Master was substantial. Even if her mystical beasts were restricted by the Bloodthirsty Alloy Ants and couldn't participate in battle, her remaining power was not something a Level 4 Beast Master could withstand.
However, after truly fighting against Charles, Dante realized how terrifying the situation was. It seemed that Charles had not even used his full strength up to this point!
Moreover, those two small stones he casually kicked had managed to dissipate his strongest combat technique, the Flame Fist!
How was that even possible?
Suppressing the enormous doubt in his heart, Dante widened his eyes and fixed his gaze on the battle between Alyssa and Charles, a Level 6 Beast Master versus a Level 4 Beast Master!
He saw Alyssa let out an angry roar! In front of her, several pale blue wind blades rapidly coalesced, then shot toward Charles's body at an incredible speed!
The wind blades, formed by the skills of a Level 6 Beast Master, created a sharp whistling sound as they sliced through the air, echoing throughout the canyon. This was due to the wind blades' speed, which was so fast that they seemed to be tearing through the air!
The pale blue light of the wind blades grazed the edges of Charles's body, plunging directly into the yellow sand, kicking up clouds of dust that danced up and down.
"He dodged it? How is his reaction so fast?" Alyssa thought in surprise.
She hadn't expected that Charles, a Level 4 Beast Master, could actually react to her skill attack, if he were an ordinary Level 4 Beast Master, he would have been defeated by now!
"Here it comes again!" Alyssa gritted her teeth. She did not stop her advance toward Charles but chose to continue moving forward while channeling the wind attribute energy within her to launch another attack!
In the next moment,
Alyssa was suddenly surrounded by a whirlwind that spun continuously, with powerful winds stirring up the sand and small stones beneath her feet.
The sand and small stones whirled around her, accelerating as they were caught in the gale, transforming the previously ordinary particles into weapons of immense destructive power!
The sky was filled with swirling sand, and the raging winds caused the surrounding environment to darken instantly.
Alyssa's skill, Super Tornado, was now complete!
And it was continuously closing in on Charles, centered around her!
Charles took a deep breath. He could sense the immense power contained within Alyssa's skill, truly, she was a Level 6 Beast Master, with numerous powerful offensive techniques at her disposal.
Maintaining his calm, Charles activated his self-created combat technique, Divine Domain. Within the confines of this domain, he could clearly perceive the trajectories of the swirling sand and stones.
It was a truly remarkable sensation, while to an outsider the whirlwind of sand and stones seemed to spin and accelerate endlessly, to Charles, it appeared as if the world had slowed down.
As Alyssa fully entered the range of his domain, Charles was able to feel all her information, including the flow of wind attribute energy throughout her body and the intricate details of the tornado's formation.
Dante and Asher, who had no idea about Charles's self-created combat techniques, let out a sigh of relief as they observed the scene before them.
They were well aware of Alyssa's Super Tornado, if it fully formed, any ordinary Beast Master who chose to confront it head-on instead of fleeing would likely be battered to death by the debris propelled by the explosive tornado!
"I wonder what Charles is thinking, he's still standing there and hasn't turned to run." Dante noted, observing Charles's stillness.
The relief he had felt earlier resurfaced, especially seeing the calm expression on Charles's face. A thought began to form in Dante's mind: could it be that Charles could directly disperse Super Tornado?
Just like before, when Charles had used two small stones to nullify his Fire Fist.
It wasn't just Dante and Asher who were nervously watching the battle unfold, high above the canyon, Drake, the Level 8 Beast Master, was also wide-eyed, closely monitoring Charles's movements.
"This Level 6 Beast Master's skill is quite something, I wonder how Charles will deal with it?" Drake said softly.
He no longer felt bored, instead, he was constantly pondering what type of self-created combat techniques Charles's domain might be and what their functions were.
As a well-informed Level 8 Beast Master, Drake could sense that within a certain range around Charles, he seemed able to detect the trajectories and intentions of incoming attacks.
He could even perceive the flow of energy within their bodies!
Just now, when facing another Level 4 Beast Master's combat technique, Charles must have sensed the route of the fire attribute energy flowing to the opponent's fist and interrupted it directly using two stones.
That was why the Level 4 Beast Master's combat technique had disappeared, and he had suffered the backlash of his own fire attribute energy.
"If that's the case, then this is serious for Charles." Drake observed the battle in the canyon closely.
Charles began to make a move, he raised both hands, and energies of ice and fire materialized in his palms, coalescing and colliding.
The energy bomb gathered ice and fire elements, forming a chaotic elemental shockwave that triggered a powerful explosion.
Upon seeing Charles's actions, Alyssa instantly felt more relaxed. She could sense that this was a purely elemental energy attack, while it looked powerful, it wouldn't stop her Super Tornado!
As a Level 6 Beast Master valued by the crown prince of the Stellar Empire, Alyssa had plenty of combat experience and had already used Super Tornado to defeat many foes!
"This time will be no different! As long as I take down Charles, I can safely leave, find Drake, and complete my mission!" Alyssa took a deep breath and continued to unleash the energy within her.
At that moment, another energy bomb slowly began to form in front of Charles.
Alyssa frowned slightly and shouted, "Charles, stop struggling and give up! I will spare your life and let you live."
"Struggling? This isn't struggling at all." Charles replied slowly.
He had already identified the weakness in her skill, and now all he needed to do was use the two gathered energy bombs to render her technique completely ineffective!
In the next moment,
two energy bombs flew towards the massive tornado with a whoosh.
Alyssa watched the flight trajectory of the energy bombs, her eyes filled with confusion and disbelief. Why did it seem like Charles's skills had lost their direction?
To the onlookers, Charles's counterattack appeared almost comical, despite the enormous size of the Super Tornado, his skills failed to hit their target.
Instead, they exploded to the sides of the Super Tornado!
"What is Charles doing? Has he given up?" Dante said, puzzled.
Before he could think it through, he saw Alyssa's previously calm body begin to tremble, her expression one of shock.
"You—how did you do that?" Alyssa shouted.
In the next instant, the stones that had been swirling and accelerating in the air lost all their force, slowly coming to a stop and dropping from the sky.
"What! Charles really managed to counter Alyssa's skill! How did he do it?" Dante's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared intensely at Charles, searching for answers.
Charles didn't feel the need to explain anything, he had simply used Divine Domain to discover the weakness of Super Tornado and then utilized the shockwave from the explosions of the two energy bombs to break her technique.
Without any hesitation, Charles began to actively attack Alyssa.
Now he had a clearer understanding of the strength of a Level 6 Beast Master, but it wasn't enough, the rest needed to be proven through real combat!
Constantly battling strong opponents was the best way to enhance his abilities, which is why he hadn't used Bloodthirsty Alloy Ants to stop Alyssa earlier.
Charles wanted to fight, he sought experience in order to continuously improve his strength!
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Charles's figure moved like a ghost, repeatedly launching attacks at Alyssa.
As a Level 6 Beast Master, Alyssa found herself unable to fully defend against Charles's onslaught for a moment, and each time she attempted to counterattack, it was as if Charles had anticipated her moves, dodging her attacks with precision!
In just a few breaths, Alyssa's body kept retreating.
In close combat, she was no match for Charles, his strength was simply terrifying!
"Alyssa!" Dante shouted as he gritted his teeth and tried to stand up to help her. However, he was already nearing his physical limits and collapsed again after barely getting to his feet.
Asher took a deep breath, glanced at the situation on the battlefield, and moved without hesitation.
However, before he could enter the fray, Charles suddenly halted his attacks, retreating with a swift motion, as if sensing something unusual. The calm expression he usually wore finally changed!
In the next moment,
a terrifying pressure swept through the entire canyon. The surrounding Bloodthirsty Alloy Ants, as well as Alyssa, Asher, and Dante, felt as if they were nailed to the spot, unable to move.
Only Charles paused slightly but was still able to keep moving.
"You've got some guts, kid. Under my pressure, you can still act freely." Drake's figure appeared before everyone.
