Chapter 721: 246: What Can Frost Flower Dream Shadow Use to Win? |
On the other side, his second Beast Tamer’s Yan Master was also battling against the opposing Six-blade Mantis.
The Yan Master belonged to the Spirit type, while the Six-blade Mantis was of the Fighting type.
From an attribute standpoint, the battle should favor the Yan Master.
However, the Yan Master had not activated its Faith Form, and its normal energy level was much lower than that of the inherently imperial Six-blade Mantis, resulting in a deadlock between the two.
Meanwhile, Sangla himself was being overwhelmed by Or.
All things considered, he was at a clear disadvantage.
If things continued this way, he was set to lose another battle for the desert.
Thinking of how the Alliance had invested everything in him and yet he was unable to bring glory to the Alliance, a flash of ferocity crossed Sangla’s eyes.
The faith energy of his two beasts had been exhausted the day before.
But, there was another way!
Even though it would come at a certain cost, he could no longer afford to care.
He had to win!
Suddenly, Sangla’s pupils turned white as the pupils disappeared, leaving only the whites of his eyes.
At the same time, his lips moved slightly as if weird syllables were being uttered continuously.
As the syllables were uttered, countless ethereal figures seemed to appear behind Sangla.
They were cranes and deer, one after another of Yan Masters!
They bore a close resemblance to Sangla’s two beasts but were clearly at a lower evolutionary level and also exhibited other distinctive traits!
They stood behind Sangla, roaring angrily and howling at the sky!
Their voices shook the surroundings and stunned the audience!
Streams of faith energy emerged from the unknown, and on the bodies of the cranes and deer, as well as the Yan Masters, ancient runes constructed from a lifetime of faith energy slowly took shape.
These runes, unique to the Faith Form, would usually only show when it was active.
They carried the power of the faith of all living beings, allowing these conceptual creatures to manifest in reality, which is the basis of the Faith Form.
At this moment, however, the two beasts had not activated their Faith Form, yet the runes appeared one by one.
This bizarre scene made Or dare not take it lightly.
He roared in anger and rushed at Sangla in an attempt to stop what Sangla was doing.
But it seemed too late.
“Stop!” From the spectator platform outside the arena, a shout came.
It was Miss Fula, the head of the Desert Security League. At this moment, she had stood up, her face filled with utmost urgency.
Unfortunately, her command was not enough to stop Sangla.
Sangla’s power, under the terrifying might, soared to unprecedented heights!
He simply threw a punch toward Or who was charging at him.
Yet the world seemed on the brink of collapse, suddenly turning into a sandstorm that completely engulfed Or!
“What is this thing?” Or’s pupils shrank rapidly as he planned to repeat his trick and use instant teleportation to escape. However, the next moment his face changed drastically.
The overwhelming supernatural power mixed with the faith energy caused the space around to shake violently.
As a result, his teleportation was temporarily unusable.
“No… No!”
Watching the sandstorm, akin to an abyss, swallowing him whole, Or’s pupils contracted sharply. He then let out a roar, his expression turning desperate.
…
Outside the arena, after shouting “Stop,” Miss Fula sat down helplessly in her seat, her expression becoming solemn.
The others looked at each other, and finally, Watson couldn’t help but speak up. “Miss Fula, what is the ability that young man used… what is it?”
“That is a recently researched, still unstable technique called Faith Extraction,” Fula said with a helpless rub of her temple. “This technique still needs refinement. Currently, it has significant side effects.”
“Could you elaborate?” Watson glanced at Or, who had been carried off the field yet was not in lethal danger, and couldn’t help asking.
“As you know, in our desert’s Faith Evolution pathway, the same totem can have multiple Beast Tamers’ faith converging towards it, evolving their beasts in its direction. These Beast Tamers allocate the faith energy of that totem according to the evolutionary state of their own beasts.”
“The higher the evolution level, the more faith energy received, and within the same pathway, a higher-level beast possesses an overwhelming advantage over lower-level beasts.”
The others nodded faintly.
This was basic knowledge they were naturally aware of.
“Recently, we simulated a theoretically viable new method,” Fula’s voice paused slightly. “Using this method, a beast within the same evolutionary pathway can forcibly extract the faith energy of other beasts that are lower in evolutionary status. This allows for a short-term consolidation of the faith energy within a certain pathway.”
“But this method still comes with significant drawbacks Fula let out a light sigh, looking at Sangla who had collapsed on the spot and was also being carried away by medical staff.
“Firstly, the beasts, as well as the Beast Tamers gathering the faith energy, will suffer severe backlash. Secondly, unilaterally extracting another Beast Tamer’s faith energy without permission can lead to serious consequences.”
“For instance, if a Beast Tamer is facing a life-or-death situation, or is in the midst of battle, and suddenly has their faith energy drawn away by another Beast Tamer
Fula did not continue, but the other people present already understood her meaning.
While this technique was indeed powerful, it was not very controllable.
