Chapter 287: Reid’s Battle
“Flame Shield.”
City Lord Reid saw the divine breath flying toward him and immediately roared, activating the only defensive skill of the Raging Flame Lion.
Who would have thought that the Swamp Hydra, which was obviously biased toward darkness, would actually use a divine attack?
The most frustrating aspect of a divine attack was its ability to ignore defense.
Fortunately, the Raging Flame Lion had its own light attribute, so the Flame Shield could more or less negate some of the damage.
However, the Swamp Hydra had nine heads.
Nine heads represented nine breaths.
When Reid saw the nine gigantic snake heads blooming like sunflowers and spewing out divine breaths, for the first time, he felt that the holy attribute was too shameless.
Among the six main attributes, there was nothing more overbearing and shameless than the divine attribute.
Roar!
The Raging Flame Lion let out a painful roar.
The huge pillar of light from the divine breath sprayed onto its body. It was like snow under the scorching sun and its body almost melted.
The intense pain caused the Raging Flame Lion to instantly enter a berserk state.
A signature skill – the Raging Flame Lion roar – followed suit.
The Raging Flame Lion’s roar was also known as lion’s roar. It was one of the most famous skills of lion-type Battle Beasts.
Through magic vibration vocal cords, it could inflict large-scale damage and also had a stunning effect.
If it was a weak opponent, there was a chance that the opponent would fall into fear, blindness, panic, and so on.
Even if the opponent overcome those conditions, they would still receive quite a bit of damage.
Moreover, the defense difficulty of the roar was not any lower than that of the holy attribute, especially since they had no experience. It was their first time facing such an opponent, so the outcome was even better.
Locke and Hathaway were almost knocked off the Swamp Hydra’s body by the violent sound waves, especially Hathaway, who was already in a weakened state.
As a result, she was blinded by the attack. Everything was white before her eyes and she could not see anything.
Fortunately, she was not the one commanding the battle or else the outcome would have been decided.
Locke hit his chest hard. Relying on his profound physical attributes, he struggled to get out of the negative state.
The Swamp Hydra was in pain. It opened its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth and bit down like a raging lion.
Locke’s fighting style was different from the others.
Other Beastmasters preferred to command their Battle Beasts in battle, especially when it was time to release mana.
As Locke had hidden his evolutionary path, the Battle Beasts he obtained were all powerful and had very keen combat instincts.
In battle, Locke paid more attention to the cultivation of the blood-type Battle Beasts.
For example, when other Battle Beasts encountered a tier 5 Battle Beast, they did not have the courage to fight.
Even the slightest whiff of the aura of a tier 5 Battle Beast was enough to scare them to the point that they were like a bald-tailed dog. They would only whimper and run back home to seek comfort from their master.
The barking of a defeated dog was the most worthless thing in Locke’s eyes.
Battle Beasts needed to have the courage to not retreat even if they were to die in battle.
Only the Beastmaster would decide when to retreat from a battle.
As long as Locke did not give the order to retreat, the Swamp Hydra would never consider the situation where it could not defeat its opponent.
Even if Locke gave the order to retreat, the Swamp Hydra might still resist.
The Raging Flame Lion looked at the Swamp Hydra, which was obviously the first to move, but still dared to take the initiative to attack. It clearly felt that its dignity had been offended.
Its huge wings flapped fiercely, stirring up a gust of wind.
The Raging Flame Lion pounced over fiercely. It opened its mouth with steel teeth and bit at the gigantic body of the Swamp Hydra.
The two giant beasts tore at each other and entangled each other.
Locke and Reid also drew their swords and fought.
This was not flat ground but a few hundred meters in the air.
Locke raised his sword high and ran quickly on the slippery snake’s body. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and released a wind blade spell to attack Reid.
When the Raging Flame Lion pounced on him, he still had time to release a spear of the Earth and ruthlessly hit Reid’s abdomen.
In comparison, Reid’s performance was far less ferocious than the Raging Flame Lion’s.
In Reid’s long battle career, he had never met someone as valiant as Locke.
Even if they were both tier 5 Beastmasters, they would either ride their Battle Beasts and charge on the ground or leave the Battle Beasts and let the Battle Beasts fight in the sky.
There was no reason for them to directly bite the Battle Beasts in the sky while they were still on them.
Beastmasters were not Battle Beasts. Even if they could temporarily fly with mana, the sky was not the main battlefield of Beastmasters.
Reid even fell into his own trap.
The Swamp Hydra had nine heads. Five of them attacked Reid and four of them were used to deal with the Raging Flame Lion.
Reid had already spent a lot of effort just to parry the Swamp Hydra.
The Swamp Hydra rolled its body like a huge electric drill and its nine heads took turns to attack.
As for the Raging Flame Lion, it relied on its wings to pounce.
Compared to the Swamp Hydra, the stability of the Raging Flame Lion was a level lower.
Reid just had to stabilize his body and not fall off the body of the Raging Flame Lion. He was already going all out.
Not to mention that Locke would borrow the strength of the Swamp Hydra’s head from time to time and directly jump onto the back of the Raging Flame Lion to attack.
Although Reid still had the initiative and advantage overall, seeing that the Swamp Hydra was covered in blood but refused to retreat and continued to chase after him relentlessly, Reid even had the illusion that he was at a disadvantage.
Especially when Locke was not worried about the injuries of the Swamp Hydra at all. He seemed to be jumping and playing happily.
On the contrary, Reid’s hands were in a bind while Locke was much more carefree.
Once the battle started, it directly entered a melee battle.
The intensity was far from what the city lord’s guards who were slowly following behind could interfere with.
Even the speed of the crossbow bolts in their hands was not as fast as the flying speed of the two Battle Beasts.
At this moment, the Swamp Hydra seemed to be enraged.
It suddenly turned its muzzle and fired a volley at the city lord’s guards who had just caught up to it.
Nine huge snake kisses shot out long beams of light like divine light swords. In just one round, the city lord’s guards were completely wiped out.
The divine breath lasted for more than three minutes before it stopped.
The city lord’s guards fell to the ground like flies being sprayed with insecticide.
This was a few hundred meters in the air. Even if they were only affected by the aftershocks and fell down, they would still end up in pieces.
The remaining small fish and prawns were completely scared out of their wits.
They did not dare to go forward anymore.
They did not even dare to come close. They only drove for a few hundred meters and fell far away.
He did not dare to run away nor did he dare to go forward to die. He could only be a terrified spectator.
“B*stard, I’m going to kill you!”
Reid saw that the city lord’s guards that he had spent a lot of effort and money to nurture were destroyed by Locke. He was so angry that his gums were bleeding. Other than being unable to rage, there was nothing else he could do.
