Beast Tamer: After My Pet Space Mutated, I Became OP
Chapter 54: Thunderbird VS Sisaimoka Dragon
Since the opponent prefers fast attacks, let's see who can be faster!
"Golden Yuanbao, Thunder Radiation."
"Golden Feather Whirlwind."
"Wing Slash."
"Thunder Radiation."
"Lightning Ball."
"Thunder Demon Bird."
"Golden Feather Whirlwind."
"Thunder Demon Bird."
"... ..."
If Rui Qianwu's fast pace was a mudslide—high burst, strong attack power, but also a high chance of being dodged, not every attack could damage the ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) opponent.
Then Mingxi's current burst was a torrential downpour; seemingly not strong in attack power, but with a very wide coverage, dense and precise attacks. The Thunder Demon Bird's skills almost always managed to injure the opponent.
The former seemed fiercer and more domineering, but from the current situation, the Thunder Demon Bird had the upper hand.
Even if many of the Thunder Demon Bird's attacks on the Saisaimoka seemed like mere tickles, they could still achieve the effect of distracting and unsettling it.
"... ...What's going on? It seems the Saisaimoka is being suppressed?"
The players were bewildered, and the audience was also bewildered.
At this moment, the commentator Wang Rui, who had been closely following Mingxi's match, came online.
"It's clear that Mingxi's fast-paced offense has completely suppressed Rui Qianwu. I wonder if everyone has noticed, Mingxi's command isn't just about speed."
"She is also making targeted adjustments based on Rui Qianwu's commands, combined with the Thunder Demon Bird and the Saisaimoka's every positioning."
"Fast, yet steady."
"She neither disrupts the Thunder Demon Bird's skill Connection nor misses a beat in terms of time and space. Without a doubt, Mingxi possesses astonishing talent in Beast Tamers command."
The more Wang Rui spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes shining.
"In comparison, Rui Qianwu's fast attack seems rushed and lacks foresight."
"I think she is a bit too blindly pursuing a fast pace, which is counterproductive. The Saisaimoka itself is already very strong, with high burst and high output skills. In fact, a steady, step-by-step combat mode could achieve an absolute advantage."
Although Wang Rui did not explicitly say that Rui Qianwu's command was somewhat superfluous, the meaning was quite clear.
Her fast-attack strategy certainly had its unique qualities, but for the Saisaimoka, it was not entirely suitable.
As a commentator, Wang Rui could be sharp-tongued, but he also had to consider the players' feelings, so he continued: "Of course, in handling skill linkage, Rui Qianwu has done an excellent job, maximizing the advantage of her skills."
What he didn't say was.
"No matter how powerful an attack's burst is, it's useless if it doesn't hit the opponent."
Although Wang Rui's commentary contained a bit of personal emotion, it indeed pointed out the core issue of the changes in the situation on the field, and the audience all understood.
Wang Rui's meaning was actually very simple.
It wasn't that the Si Saimoka Dragon was failing, but that there was a certain gap in the Beast Tamers' command abilities.
Rui Qianwu, who had been almost invincible on the competition field relying on fast attacks and the Saisaimoka, hit a wall, encountering a player who was even better at fast attacks!
No, it should be said, a player who effortlessly wielded fast-attack tactics.
"Sisi!"
The Si Saimoka Dragon roared in pain.
Its softest abdominal area was cut open by the Thunder Demon Bird's Wing Slash, leaving two hideous wounds, and green blood splattered like rain.
The Wing Slash, at the Getting Started proficiency level, was already sharp enough to break through the Saisaimoka's defense.
"Aka!"
Seeing her pet beast severely injured, Rui Qianwu's beautiful face also paled by three shades.
Mingxi didn't care how miserable the opponent was; isn't the goal of a match to make the opponent as miserable as possible?!
To show pity to an opponent during a battle? She wouldn't do something like that even if her brain was filled with sulfuric acid.
She decisively ordered: "Thunder Radiation."
The Golden Yuanbao was about to comply.
But a sudden change occurred.
"Sisi!"
The scarred Saisaimoka suddenly let out a long roar to the sky, and its originally grayish-green vertical pupils abruptly turned blood-red.
It was somewhat similar to the Golden Yuanbao's eye color.
However, the Golden Yuanbao's blood-agate eyes were pure and translucent, while the Saisaimoka's eyes at this moment looked as if they were soaked in fresh blood, carrying a strong aura of ferocity and madness.
At the same time, a faint red vortex began to condense around its body.
"Berserk!"
Seeing this scene, Wang Rui on the main stage couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
Mingxi also realized what had happened to this Saisaimoka.
The 【Berserk】 characteristic.
The Si Saimoka Dragon actually activated its 【Berserk】 characteristic at a critical moment.
Berserk, a characteristic activated by a Transcendent creature only when it suffers severe damage and its stamina and mental energy drop significantly. In this state, the Transcendent creature's attack power doubles, and its speed doubles.
It's like in online games when a boss goes berserk or mad when its HP bar is down to the last sliver.
She didn't expect this Si Saimoka Dragon to also have the 【Berserk】 characteristic.
It hadn't been activated in the previous few matches.
Mingxi didn't know whether to marvel at her own strength, having revealed the opponent's trump card, or to feel helpless that she seemed to frequently encounter such unexpected thorny situations.
Such a hard life!
She could only adjust her tactics.
Although the fast-attack tactic was effective, it had a very fatal flaw: it consumed an extreme amount of energy.
After the continuous output just now, the Golden Yuanbao's energy was almost depleted, although the opponent's consumption certainly wouldn't be less than theirs.
However, considering the Saisaimoka's status as an Advanced Level pet beast, its energy peak value must be much higher than the Golden Yuanbao's.
Moreover, now that the Saisaimoka had activated its 【Berserk】 characteristic, its attack power and speed were greatly enhanced.
It's likely that just one attack could send the Golden Yuanbao back home.
"Aka, Dragon's Tremor!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Rui Qianwu had calmed down. She had heard Wang Rui's words, but she wasn't going to change her habits.
Her sharp eyes focused on the changes in the arena, and her commands were swiftly issued.
"Wind Dragon Twister!"
Mingxi narrowed her eyes, "Still coming? Is this relying on the characteristic to finish it off in one wave?"
She thought for a moment and said to the Golden Yuanbao: "Golden Yuanbao, stall them. Imagine I'm in the Thunder Pool."
This command could be said to be inexplicable.
To outsiders, it sounded even more profound than a riddle.
But the Golden Yuanbao, who could somewhat perceive Mingxi's emotions, quickly understood her meaning.
Her own Beast Tamers in the Thunder Pool, wasn't that...
It glanced at the ugly dragon relentlessly pursuing it and began to subtly adjust its Flight angle.
Seeing this scene, Mingxi silently gave the Golden Yuanbao a thumbs-up in her heart.
"Dragon Breath!"
Although Rui Qianwu wondered what profound meaning Mingxi's ambiguous command held, after observing for a long time, she didn't find anything amiss.
She could only continue to command.
No matter what sinister plot the opponent had, as long as Aka took care of that Thunder Demon Bird, no amount of schemes, overt or covert, would matter!
Mingxi calmly watched as the Golden Yuanbao narrowly dodged the domineering Dragon Breath.
