Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties-Chapter 318: One Spear. One Thunder Lance.

Liora smirked as she spread her arms.

"Now… let's test your power, shall we?"

Flames surged from her palm that soon solidified into a huge weapon.

It was a spear that was taller than she was, forged from silver sun and Luxorite.

"Let's see if you can withstand this."

With a twist of her arm, she hurled it.

The Silver Sun Spear tore through the sky toward Zephyron.

It already saw the spear coming toward its body.

It flapped its wings inward as its feathers lit up with thunder energy.

A huge bolt shaped like a lightning lance fired from its beak, roaring through the sky to intercept the spear.

The two projectiles collided.

The explosion lit the sky as clouds vaporized in an instant.

But only one remained.

The Silver Sun Spear kept going.

It shattered through the thunder lance like it was made of glass.

Zephyron's eyes widened.

It twisted mid-air and tilted its massive body, narrowly dodging the oncoming spear.

Liora watched it reposition with flawless control, its speed unnatural for its size.

She grinned wider.

"You really are the sovereign of the skies. Even with a body that massive, you move like smoke."

Her hands lit up again.

More silver fire swirling around her arms, shaping, bending.

"This is going to be fun."

Another weapon began forming in her palm.

"There's a lot I want to try on you."

She didn't wait.

In a blink, the flames twisted into a shoulder-mounted miniguns.

Whrrr—CHAK-CHAK-CHAK!

A hail of silver plasma bullets tore through the sky, chasing Zephyron's movement.

The beast screeched, eyes flashing. In a single beat, it vanished once again.

Wind bent unnaturally.

Liora's eyes snapped left.

There.

She flipped backward mid-air and swapped weapons instantly.

Leon responding to her thoughts. The minigun dissolved into twin rail cannons locked along her forearms.

She braced. Fired.

BOOM—BOOM—

Zephyron soon reappeared in the clouds and twisted its body.

But one of the shots managed to graze its wings.

It roared in anger as it began to counterattack.

Zephyron opened its beak, trying to generate another Thunder Lance.

Liora twisted mid-air, forming a long silver sniper rifle mid-spin.

She didn't dodge.

She pulled the trigger.

CRACK.

The bullet struck the center of the lightning beam mid-path.

BOOM.

A explosion burst between them, energy waves slamming outward.

She dropped low, flames surging from her back as Leon adjusted her flight.

Her sniper vanished, morphing into a massive rocket launcher on her shoulder.

"Try this."

The launcher fired—a gleaming silver warhead going toward it.

Zephyron didn't dodge.

It vanished.

Gale Slipstream—again.

But Liora was already turning.

"Caught you."

She pointed a finger—Leon formed a mini-turret on her arm and fired a secondary shot just as Zephyron rematerialized.

The blast hit the side of its body, sending the monster tumbling through the clouds.

It roared in frustration—and then disappeared into mist.

The sky fell silent.

She hovered still, rotating slowly, her visor scanning the air.

Then—

A gust.

A flash of lightning—

Liora's eyes widened.

"Here it comes."

Zephyron dived directly through Liora, its body wrapped in storm energy.

Liora didn't move.

Instead, she raised both hands.

"Leon. Transform."

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

The silver armor exploded outward.

A massive mech suit formed around her in an instant.

It was a bulky one, armed with missiles, chainguns, and twin plasma sabers.

She caught the dive.

Liora's silver flames burned hot through the mech's core. Zephyron shrieked, electricity crackling across its wings.

They were then separated.

Liora skidded back through the air, her thrusters howling.

She was grinning.

"You're strong and it was good."

She rolled her neck, one hand reshaping into a massive sword.

"Because I'm not done."

Zephyron's eyes narrowed as it saw the blade.

Sparks flicked across its wings. It let out a sharp cry.

It was not an attack or a roar. It was something else.

It hovered, watching her.

Then it shrieked again, sharper and focused.

Liora tilted her head. "What… are you trying to say?"

Leon pulsed. His form shifted slightly. An earpiece slipped into place over her ear.

"Translating. You can hear it now, master."

The next sound hit differently.

It was clear and direct.

"Why are you here?"

Liora blinked. "You can talk?"

The wind howled, but Zephyron stayed still, wings out, eyes locked on her.

Liora raised her chin. "I want to catch you."

There was a pause.

Then—"Damn it. So you're a hunter."

Liora smirked. "You could say it like that."

Zephyron flared its wings wide. "Fine. If you can withstand this next strike... I'll surrender."

Liora gripped the sword tighter. "Sure. Let it rip."

No more words.

---

Zephyron rose higher, wings fully spread, thunder pulsing around them.

Liora watched from below, eyes narrowed.

"What are you doing now…?"

The lightning didn't scatter. It concentrated.

A massive spear of thunder began to form above Zephyron's body. It just kept growing.

Too long. Too thick. Too heavy-looking for flight.

It dwarfed the beast holding it.

Liora's jaw tightened. "That's bigger than you."

Zephyron gripped it in both claws.

"This is my last strike. I've poured everything into this."

Liora frowned. She could feel the pressure from it. The whole sky shifted with the charge.

"Damn it. So this is what you meant..."

She looked down at her own hands.

"I need to be more serious than before."

She turned toward her beast. "Leon."

"I'm ready," Leon replied.

"Full warform. Right now."

Silver light exploded around her.

Plates launched out in pieces, forming one by one.

A mechanical core, thick armor across the limbs, bladed shoulder fins, twin reactors spinning behind the back.

Steam hissed from the legs. A full combat mech, fused with her body.

Liora stepped into it as the last panel locked shut over her chest.

Inside, everything went silent for a second. Then the display flared.

Readouts glowed. Power surged.

She gripped the controls.

"Now we're talking."

Above, Zephyron pulled the thunder lance close. Its wings flared wide.

"If you can stand against this, I yield. But if you fall—there will be nothing left to bury."

Liora stared through the visor. "You're really going all in."

"This is what it means to be Sovereign."

Her hands slid across the controls. Cannons primed. Blades locked into place.

She exhaled once, steady and sharp.

"Then I'll show you what it means to challenge a Luxoria."

The sky shook.

Zephyron screamed and dove.

Thunder tore loose.

Liora braced.

"Come on, sovereing of the sky. Let's end it right here."
