Chapter 124: Chapter 7: Ice-Feathered Spirit VS Blue Nightmare Demon (Part Two)
Translator: 549690339
“Xia Guanghan, it’s not that I doubt your judgment. Indeed, the Ice-Feathered Spirit is a superior warrior soul pet. However, the Blue Nightmare Demon is still the Blue Nightmare Demon. It would only be fair to compare a Level 6 Ice-Feathered Spirit to a Level 5 Blue Nightmare Demon. Additionally, defeating a Level 5 Ninth Stage Ice-Feathered spirit within five minutes…” Zhou Luleng said.
“If you doubt my words, we can make a bet. The stakes are the same as before: a Level 4 Dual-Attribute Soul Crystal, agree?” Xia Guanghan looked at Zhou Luleng and spoke calmly.
Zhou Luleng looked hesitant. Although he didn’t like Su Yu, who possessed the Blue Nightmare Demon, to a certain extent, he despised him. But the strength of both their soul pets truly differed greatly.
With a strained relationship with Xia Guanghan and a glance at the powerful Blue Nightmare Demon on the battlefield, Zhou Luleng surprisingly agreed: “As you wish!”
Xia Guanghan smiled without speaking further. His attention was focused on the battlefield, and Zhou Luleng also shifted his attention to the battlefield.
These two influential people were completely invested. Naturally, this battle became even more interesting!
On The Battlefield
Su Yu continued to stand at the edge of the crevice. His Blue Nightmare Demon had the ability to float. The blue flame-like body highlighted its knightly, eerie figure. The deep blue demon flames danced wildly over the crevice!
The Ice-Feathered Spirit also had the ability to float. Its crystal clear body, supported by a misty cold frost, flapped its long arms rapidly, chanting a series of hard-to-understand spirit incantations!
“Very soon, your Ice-Feathered Spirit will turn into a puddle of cold water!” Su Yu did not use any soul skills. Commanding the Blue Nightmare Demon, he penetrated the wide crevice spanning twenty meters, aiming for Chu Mu.
Similarly, Chu Mu didn’t use any soul skills. In fact, he would not hesitate to use them if they were suitable.
The effect of Blood Pupil Frenzy only works on beast attribute soul pets, meaning it can only be applied to MO Ye.
When Chu Mu fought, he never wasted words. Since the moment the enemy appears before him, Chu Mu commits his entire attention to the fight, and relaxes only after confirming the death of the enemy.
This was the habit Chu Mu fostered over three years. If he hadn’t developed this survival instinct, Chu Mu would have died more than ten times by now!
“Ice Air Dance!”
The Ice-Feathered Spirit, not missing a beat, continued its incantations. The Level 5 Ninth Stage Ice-Feathered Spirit had matured and evolved over three years. It was no longer the simply innocent elemental child, but gradually began to show its true virtue as an Ice-Feathered pet. Despite the Blue Nightmare Demon’s formidable leader-level presence, it showed no signs of fear. Instead, much like Chu Mu, it displayed an indomitable fighting spirit!!
White frost constantly appeared over the deep crevice. Countless sharp-as-knives ice thorns danced in the air, blooming into a beautiful, yet chilling, ice flower!!
“Superficial! ”
Su Yu scoffed scornfully, commanding the Blue Nightmare Demon to charge directly through the potent Ice Air Dance over the crevice!
“Ice Air Dance, overlap.”
Seeing the Blue Nightmare Demon intruding into the domain of the Ice Air Dance, Chu Mu broke out into a smile instantly, immediately ordering the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
Ice Air Dance is an extremely damaging skill. When overlapped, the efficacy immediately enhances.
The Blue Nightmare Demon, situated within the Ice Air Dance, was rapidly enveloped by numerous ice flowers. The deep blue demon flame on its body even dimmed a few notches!
“Overlapping skills…” Zhou Luleng’s face slightly altered. Overlapping skills is the top secret technique of elemental soul pets, and doesn’t necessarily correlate with the race grade and stage, but highly depends on the soul pet’s comprehension and hard practice!
Ice properties inherently suppress fire properties. The Blue Nightmare Demon, although its demon flames burn souls, they still belong to the category of fire attributes. When a single Ice Air Dance skill is performed, the Blue Nightmare Demon could resist. But once overlapped, the deep blue flames on its body began to fade rapidly.
“This little trick, how could it possibly compete with my Blue Nightmare Demon!” Although Su Yu was angry, he didn’t panic, and immediately issued an order to the Blue Nightmare Demon.
The Blue Nightmare Demon, enveloped by numerous ice flowers, began to rotate. The rotation speed increased, gradually turning into a deep blue demon flame vortex.
The demon flame vortex rapidly freed itself from the constraints of the double Ice Air Dance, crossing the crevice and rushed towards the Ice-Feathered Spirit suspended near the edge of the crevice.
Facing the Blue Nightmare Demon’s fierce onslaught, Chu Mu’s gaze remained indifferent. He simply watched the Ice-Feathered Spirit not far from himself. Even as the terrifying deep blue soul demon flame neared, Chu Mu didn’t flinch in the slightest.
Similarly, the Ice-Feathered Spirit stood its ground. Against the Blue Nightmare Demon’s demon flame vortex, it chanted incantations with utmost calmness.
“Die!!” Su Yu coldly uttered that word.
Seeing that the Blue Nightmare Demon was closing in, Chu Mu finally sparked a thought and signaled.
And the Ice-Feathered Spirit had already prepared its spell. Practically the instant the Blue Nightmare Demon approached, a white radiance suddenly appeared around the body of the Ice -Feathered Spirit!
At the moment the radiance bloomed, with the Ice-Feathered Spirit as the center, an area of ten meters around it rapidly materialized ten gigantic, five-meter-long, ice swords!!
Surrounding the Ice-Feathered Spirit in a ring, the ice swords terrifyingly hung in mid-air as the Blue Nightmare Demon, transformed into a whirlpool of demon flames, directly entered this floating ice sword array!
“Humph, your skills are so slow, you’ll die before you even have a chance to use them!” After seeing the appearance of the gigantic floating ice sword array, Su Yu harbored no fear and immediately ordered the Blue Nightmare Demon to charge towards the body of the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
The Blue Nightmare Demon advanced with a fearsome momentum, its Commander Level dominance fully displayed as if any defense in front of its frightful demon flames were utterly fragile, ready to be burned to ashes with ease!
However, the Ice-Feathered Spirit continued uttering its spell as the white, gigantic ice sword’s floating in the sky had all their points locked onto the Blue Nightmare Demon in the ice sword array ring!
‘Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!!!”
The surging demon flames swept across, rapidly covering the slender body of the Ice-Feathered Spirit. Among the deep blue tongues of fire, the
Ice-Feathered Spirit seemingly melted instantly, vanishing entirely!
“Didn’t put up much of a fight.” Su Yu observed the flame-engulfed body of the Ice-Feathered Spirit, a smile of triumph spreading across his usual stoic face.
Observing the Ice-Feathered Spirit that only specialized in long-range attacks being enveloped by the Blue Nightmare Demon’s flames, Zhou Luleng also let out a grand sigh of relief, his heart rejoiced surreptitiously.
“There is an Ice Attribute skill called Ice Mirror; its form is very similar to the Ice Wall but is much smoother. Many inexperienced individuals can easily misconstrue the two.” At this moment, Xia Guanghan slowly said.
After hearing Xia Guanghan’s words, everyone noticed that there was indeed an ice wall still erect in the battlefield!
This ice wall was released by the Ice-Feathered Spirit when it first collided with the Blue Nightmare Demon. It looked as if it was mistakenly cast in the wrong location, leaving it ineffective. Thus, it had been left lingering in the battle this entire time.
However, upon Xia Guanghan’s reminder, everyone realized that this ice wall was indeed smoother. Under the shining sun, it appeared exactly like a mirror! “Whoosh, whoosh!!! Whoosh, whoosh! ”
The ten floating ice swords suddenly moved. Before then, they were arranged around the Ice-Feathered Spirit. But, the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s position had been swallowed by the demon flames of the Blue Nightmare Demon, with the demon now being positioned right at the center of these ten floating ice swords!!
The ten ice swords from all directions crazily stabbed towards the Blue Nightmare Demon at the center. The Ice Attribute’s ice swords caused double the damage to the Blue Nightmare Demon. Despite the Demon’s mid-stage Level 6 defense, its body still sustained extremely severe injuries because of the bone-chilling cold ice!
“Squeal!!! !!!! !!! ”
The Blue Nightmare Demon unleashed a sharp scream of agony as its demon flames dimmed significantly, seeming as though they were about to be extinguished entirely due to the pierce of these ten frigid ice swords!
As the Blue Nightmare Demon cried out, the body of the Ice-Feathered Spirit slowly drifted out from behind the ice mirror. Its icy gaze stared proudly at the arrogant Blue Nightmare Demon that is of higher level than itself.
“In terms of skill utilization and combat awareness, you’re worse than some Soul Disciples.” Chu Mu stared coldly at the stupefied Su Yu, speaking slowly.
Afterward, Chu Mu waved his hand, instructing the Ice-Feathered Spirit to cease the frost attack that infiltrated deep into the Blue Nightmare Demon’s body. If Xia Guanghan hadn’t reminded him, Chu Mu would have unhesitatingly let the Ice-Feathered Spirit use the cold poison to destroy the source of demon flames within the Blue Nightmare Demon’s body, rendering this noble Blue Nightmare Demon into an evil soul pet without any demon flames.
For a full three years, Chu Mu had been fighting, facing soul pet masters who were experienced and cunning than himself. These three years of endless battle against different prisoners and different soul pets had allowed him to learn a variety of combat tactics and experience.
Many times, if one held an attribute advantage, it was not a problem to fight a soul pet one rank higher.
The training Chu Mu gave to the Ice-Feathered Spirit was purely of the Ice Attribute. The Ice-Feathered Spirit itself had the top-tier ice attribute talent among all War-General level species.
Each soul pet had its strengths and weaknesses. The judgement of species ranking was formed as a comprehensive measure of all their various abilities.
If one only considered the control over Ice Attribute skills, the Ice -Feathered Spirit’s combat power would be at Commander Level. Still, considering other factors such as close-range combat capabilities, speed, intelligence, defense, and attack, it was merely at War General Level.
In this particular battle, Chu Mu effectively utilized the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s Commander-level Ice Attribute control. Moreover, the Ice-Feathered Spirit held an attribute advantage coupled with the fact that the Soul Demon Flames didn’t have much effect on the Ice-Feathered Spirit, being a pure elemental soul pet of the Elemental World. Therefore, Su Yu inevitably faced defeat, a crushing one no less!
(Sorry, there will be another chapter later. Lately, my writing speed has decreased. What used to take me two chapters now only amounts to one.. The upcoming chapter might take longer, but I will make sure it’s published…)
(“Pet Charm” is a rather slow-going story for Little Fish. The chapters updated in these two days were almost exclusively followed by zero rest, writing continuously except for meals and sleep. I couldn’t maintain the terrifying pace of six to seven chapters a day like some other books, but I promise the time I invested is no less than that of the others. I will put my utmost effort into writing this book well and pay intricate attention to quality! Your generous support is highly appreciated; thank you, thank you!) (To be continued.
