Chapter 276: The Refrigerator With Emperor-Cla.s.s Potential
As long as the spirit-type beasts encountered the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly, they would definitely be tortured to the point of doubting their own lives.
Looking at the scorching sun, water seeped out from the tip of Lugh’s nose.
He began to miss Sh.e.l.ley again.
He suddenly remembered his adjutant.
“Lucy!”
“Major, what’s the matter?”
“The weather is hot, give me some air-conditioning.”
“I’m afraid my Ice Moon Elf won’t agree. She…”
Lugh turned around and said, “Then let her come out, I’ll talk some sense into her.”
“En… That’s enough, she’s willing.”
Seeing that she came out, the Ice Moon Elf was still very sensible.
Lucy was stunned for a second, then she reached out her hand, and a white mist spread out, and Lugh instantly felt cool.
At noon, the battle between Number 4 and Number 6 ended.
Just as Lugh thought that they might have to fight again another day, Bania announced, “The battle continues. The winner, come to me.”
A Platinum-tier Beast Master suggested, “Captain Bania, my pet is injured. Can we fight another day?”
“No.”
Bania rejected immediately, “The combat missions of the Emergency Response Team are all extremely difficult. If there’s time, you might have to fight continuously for a few days. You must have the ability to fight continuously for a long time.”
The four Platinum-tier Beast Masters stood in front of Bania.
Other than Lugh, the other three were all Platinum High-tier Beast Masters.
Bania looked at the four of them with a scrutinizing look and said, “From left to right, renumber one, two, three, four. Number One and Two will draw the opponent!”
Lugh was Number Four.
Seeing that it was Number One and Number Two drawing the opponent…
He was in a good mood.
That was because Number Three was the Platinum-tier Beast Master who said that his pet was seriously injured.
If he met Number Three, he might not be able to trigger the system mission.
“The first match, Number One against Number Four, Number Two and Number Three exit the arena to prepare for the next round of battle.”
After Number Two and Number Three left the arena, Lugh realized with some regret that the system did not issue a mission because the opponent’s strength was not as good as Sh.e.l.ley’s.
However, he did not care much about it.
Bania announced the start of the match, and Lugh instantly summoned his pet.
The opponent only lasted for two minutes before he chose to surrender.
There was no audience on the stage.
Only a few high-ranking military officials and the Platinum-tier Beast Masters who had come to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion were present.
If they had thought that Lugh was just here to gain experience, after Lugh defeated the first Platinum High-tier Beast Master, they didn’t dare to look down on him anymore.
When Lugh easily won again, the remaining two Platinum-tier Beast Masters fell silent.
After putting themselves in, they realized that if they were the ones fighting against Lugh, it would be very difficult for them to win.
Lugh was definitely the Captain of the 14th Emergency Team, the most powerful contender.
There was no one like him.
The battle between Number Two and Number Three quickly came to a conclusion.
Number Three had two pet beasts seriously injured, and Number Two had won easily.
“Then, we will have the final battle. The two winners will go on stage.”
Lugh and Number Two went on stage together.
Bania said, “The 14th Team of the Emergency Response Team, the Captain and Vice-Captain, will be chosen among you. The winner will be the Captain, and the loser will be the Vice-Captain. Do you understand?”
“Understood!”
[Ding! Mission issued. Defeat Gary and seize the position of the 14th Team Captain of the Emergency Response Team.]
[Mission reward: The host can designate a pet to awaken a new Normal-Grade talent, and at the same time, comprehend a new matching skill.]
Lugh glanced at Gary.
The other party had a fierce appearance.
At the first glance, Lugh thought of his Berserk Bear.
Gary was more than two meters tall, strong and burly, like an iron tower.
He looked ordinary, but there was a large area of burn marks on his left face.
The burn marks extended all the way to his neck and deep into the collar of his military uniform, revealing pink tender flesh.
Such serious burn marks were most likely from Fierce Beasts.
Gary looked at Lugh with a calm and somewhat crazy gaze.
Lugh felt that the other party was definitely not an easy person to get along with.
Thinking about how the other party would become his partner in the future, he felt a headache coming on.
He preferred having a Vice-Captain who was easier to talk to, so that it would be easier for everyone to cooperate in the future.
Gary said in a deep voice, “Lugh, you’re indeed very outstanding, but I’ll take the position of Captain.”
Lugh was one of them. The eight Platinum-tier Beast Masters who came here to partic.i.p.ate in the selection were all reserve cadres carefully selected and trained by the Southwest Military. They were all outstanding people of the same age.
They were all very confident in their own abilities.
If they didn’t have this bit of confidence, they wouldn’t have been able to reach this step.
Gary was no exception.
Gary had rich combat experience. Through his previous observation of Lugh’s combat style, he had already come up with a set of special tactics specifically aimed at Lugh.
As long as the tactics were successful, he might have a chance of winning.
Lugh had yet to reply when Bania, the commander, directly shouted, “I announce that the martial arts compet.i.tion has officially begun.”
Bania, the commander, did not want to waste any time.
As soon as Bania finished speaking, Gary’s white bull instantly summoned four Platinum High-grade beasts.
As for Lugh?
He only summoned the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly.
Everyone present looked at Lugh’s actions in surprise.
They still could not understand. In the previous battle, Lugh had gone all out and even released the only three pet beasts he had.
Why was he waterproof in the final battle?
He only summoned one pet beast.
If this was not blatantly going easy on him, what else could it be?
He only summoned one pet beast?
Even Lugh’s superior, Elisa, and the Captain of the emergency team, Bania, looked at Lugh in confusion.
Only Lucy, with a pair of cold eyes, stared at the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly behind Lugh.
Three seconds pa.s.sed, ten seconds pa.s.sed.
Lugh and the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly stood at the side, while Gary and his four Platinum-tier pets stood at the side. Neither side made any movements.
Time seemed to be frozen.
Fifteen seconds pa.s.sed, and Gary’s four Platinum-tier pets looked at their master in confusion.
They seemed to be asking, “Are we still going to fight this battle?”
Bania’s gaze gradually locked onto the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly.
“What’s going on?”
“Why aren’t they fighting anymore?”
…
Just as everyone was discussing in the distance, something even more unexpected happened.
Gary, who had been standing all this while and did not give the order to attack, suddenly raised his hand.
“Referee, I admit defeat!”
“Gary admits defeat, and Lugh wins!” Bania announced, “I announce the final result. Lugh has been appointed as the Captain of the 14th Team of the Emergency Response Team, and Gary has been appointed as the Vice-Captain of the 14th Team of the Emergency Response Team.”
Everyone present was stunned.
They had thought that this decisive battle would be a good show of a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.
However, it ended in such a weird way.
One of them summoned only one pet and went easy on the opponent.
One of them had the advantage, but he surrendered.
If not for Bania’s prestige and power, many people would have jumped out and shouted.
“Gary, what’s going on?” Two Colonel-level officers ran over. “Why do we feel that something is fishy?”
Fishy?
It was just a euphemism.
They suspected that someone was secretly manipulating the situation.
And he was doing it openly.
Bania said helplessly, “Haven’t you guys seen it clearly?”
“No.”
“See what?”
…
Bania said helplessly, “Gary came into contact with Lugh’s mind control.”
“Oh!”
Mind control?
Everyone looked at the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly behind Lugh and suddenly understood.
They finally understood why Gary admitted defeat.
Then, many of them broke out in a cold sweat.
With just one pet, he killed Gary in one move.
This was an absolute killer move.
Mind control.
This skill was truly terrifying.
No one wanted to experience such an ability.
That Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly was actually able to completely control a Platinum High-tier Beast Master.
In terms of difficulty, controlling a Platinum High-tier Beast Master was much more difficult than controlling a Platinum-tier pet beast.
In particular, that Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly seemed to be a Low-tier Platinum beast!
