Chapter 2835: Chapter 2836: Chain and Counterattack
Not just Wei Dingbang, even Feng Yuan didn’t expect Xiao Ji to use the Netherworld Crow to unleash a chain of Ultimate Moves. Although chaining Ultimate Moves itself doesn’t have high requirements, the premise is that the two beasts participating in the chain must at least master different Ultimate Moves.
Only then can they chain their attacks. This requirement seems low, but is actually quite challenging.
Just like in Feng Yuan’s team, Xiao Ji’s chained Ultimate Move, the Flame Chasing Furry Dog, couldn’t really participate, because chained Ultimate Moves are generally executed within the same attribute. Before the Crystal Domain, a normal team wouldn’t put multiple beasts with the same attribute in their lineup.
After all, speaking of striking range, only a team composed of different attributes can handle the complex and changing battlefield. Even if the Crystal Domain descends, this situation still exists.
Except there is a reduction in specific attribute resistances in the Crystal Domain and the presence of abilities similar to Meltdown, it’s much better compared to being completely unable to fight before, at least against enemies immune to a specific attribute.
The Nether Soil Domain mastered by Xiao Ji doesn’t have this effect. However, for them, it’s unnecessary, as the chain of Eye of Calamity and Hell Forbidden Flames is enough to counter it. The special thing about these attributeless Ultimate Moves is that aside from energy-based defenses, it’s difficult to effectively protect against them.
This also makes attributeless Ultimate Moves a type of true damage.
Facing the relentless burning of Hell Forbidden Flames, Wei Dingbang had no good solution. The attributeless chain Ultimate Moves are so disgusting, as most defensive Ultimate Moves are ineffective against them. And that thing comes with penetration and mana burning, hardly giving him time to think of a countermeasure.
"Inferno Mastiff, release Netherworld Abyss on the spot!"
With a sigh, Wei Dingbang directly gave the command. The Inferno Mastiff unhesitatingly unleashed the Ultimate Move. This is a trust cultivated over the years, even though the Netherworld Abyss is an indiscriminate move, casting it on the spot would cause significant harm to both itself and its teammates.
Midnight blue seawater appeared out of thin air in midair, forming a vortex-like structure resembling an eye of a storm. The water rotated and sank toward the center of the vortex, and the entire eye of the storm was rapidly contracting.
Because Xiao Ji and the Flame Chasing Furry Dog hadn’t closed in, the Netherworld Abyss only enveloped Wei Dingbang’s beasts. However, where the water passed, the flames extinguished, even the special Hell Forbidden Flames couldn’t stop them.
The Netherworld Abyss had no ally exemption, but in the face of Hell Forbidden Flames, Wei Dingbang couldn’t find a good response. Only the Netherworld Abyss, which extinguishes all flames, might be able to break this chain of moves.
In the instant when the eye of the storm completely dissipated, Wei Dingbang also instructed the Inferno Mastiff to remove the Netherworld Abyss in time. Even so, they suffered no small damage, which included significant damage from the ongoing effect of the Eye of Calamity and the burning from Hell Forbidden Flames, as well as the inevitable indiscriminate damage from the Netherworld Abyss.
But it doesn’t matter. In serious battles, as long as you can’t completely incapacitate the opponent, no matter how much damage, it doesn’t mean much unless you have a special Ultimate Move like Time Spiral Burst, which directly replicates damage over a period. Otherwise, there’s not much difference.
Just now, the Ancient Wood Spirit Fox directly cast a healing Ultimate Move within the Forest Domain, and the injuries caused by that damage quickly disappeared.
Because not much time had passed in the battle, the consumption of energy wasn’t significant. With the healing from the Ancient Wood Spirit Fox, the damage caused by Xiao Ji didn’t create any significant gap between the sides.
But during the time the Ancient Wood Spirit Fox was healing, Xiao Ji and the Netherworld Crow collaborated to summon a large number of Netherfire Orbs in the air. Seeing this, the Telekinetic Brown Bear had no choice but to raise a barrier in the air to counter the impending rain of Netherfire Orbs.
Yet, at this moment, the Flame Chasing Furry Dog suddenly charged at Wei Dingbang’s beasts with intense flames. After a long buildup, the power of the Charging Flame Rush had reached its peak, and with a long trail of fiery vortex, it reached Wei Dingbang’s beast team in the blink of an eye.
The terrifying explosion with blinding light made it impossible to look directly at the explosion site. Feng Yuan touched his chin, wondering if the Flame Chasing Furry Dog had used a Determined Strike? Although it would cause itself to suffer half the power of its own attack, it would instantly double the power of the move.
Even though the psychic barrier in midair was not affected by the explosion, it suddenly dimmed, convincing Feng Yuan that the surprise attack by the Flame Chasing Furry Dog had inflicted significant damage on the Telekinetic Brown Bear.
Yet...
Gazing at the rapidly gathering dark clouds in the sky, Feng Yuan sighed. Xiao Ji and others were still lacking in experience. In a Legendary-level battle, unless you can instantly kill the opponent, damage-type Ultimate Moves can’t be used recklessly, especially those that can backfire on oneself.
"Hmm?"
Veronia looked surprised at the dark clouds that had enveloped the entire battlefield without anyone knowing. If it weren’t for the fact that the other party failed to suppress the aura and a trace leaked, she might not have noticed the hidden fatal move of the other party.
But this isn’t surprising. The other party was clearly more oriented towards practical combat, and there aren’t many rules in real battles. The victorious are the kings; you can do whatever it takes to win.
It’s not surprising that Xiao Ji failed to detect the hidden danger in the air. Veronia discovering it was purely due to experience. There are too many techniques like this in war, and it’s hardly noteworthy.
Despite this, Veronia didn’t discover the other party’s intention at first, until the aura leaked, revealing their hidden lethal move.
But that’s normal. Taking hits without counterattacking doesn’t suit the style of a Legendary Beastmaster, let alone when Xiao Ji’s oppressive attacks weren’t enough to leave them without counterattack capabilities.
Had it been Veronia or Feng Yuan, the result would have been different. Both could leave their opponents unable to respond, with the overwhelming power being an insurmountable gap that cannot be compensated by skill.
"Truly worthy of being his beast, it’s not easy to deal with. But is this all there is?"
With a peculiar smile on his face, Wei Dingbang looked at Xiao Ji in the sky and said this. The Flame Chasing Furry Dog had completed its attack and was quickly creating distance, yet neither it nor Xiao Ji noticed that the dark clouds in the sky had reached a peak.
Just as Xiao Ji and the Flame Chasing Furry Dog were preparing to expand their success, countless thunders suddenly flickered in the clouds. Before Xiao Ji and the Flame Chasing Furry Dog could respond, the vast sky of thunder instantly engulfed the battlefield.
Revenge Heavenly Punishment·Thunder belongs to the Thunder attribute but doesn’t take attribute defense into account when calculating attack defense.
Simply put, when calculating the power of Revenge Heavenly Punishment·Thunder, it enjoys bonuses for targeting Thunder attributes. However, when calculating the reduction due to defense, it is treated as attributeless.
At the same time, the power of Revenge Heavenly Punishment Ultimate Moves isn’t significantly related to the caster; they only impact the almost guaranteed minimum power. However, the strongest aspect of Revenge Heavenly Punishment Ultimate Moves is their ability to increase power by amplifying all recent damages sustained.
Xiao Ji and the Flame Chasing Furry Dog attacked alternately, nearly depleting the health of the Wind and Thunder Falcon multiple times, with all that damage contributing to the amplification of Revenge Heavenly Punishment’s power, making this move extraordinarily terrifying.
The duration of Revenge Heavenly Punishment·Thunder isn’t long, as it’s a straightforward high-damage counterattack move, but the effects...
Seeing the Flame Chasing Furry Dog covered in wounds, surrounded by dimming sacred flame flowers, Feng Yuan had already guessed what Ultimate Move the opponent used.
A unique Fire Series Ultimate Move, Undying Holy Fire, is used when receiving excess damage beyond one’s limits. It can offset the excess damage with energy, and the energy used for offsetting cannot regenerate for some time.
Simply put, it can only be used when taking more damage than the health bar limit. The over-limit portion can be temporarily counteracted by proportionally lowering the maximum mana limit.
During the process, if the mana limit is reduced to zero, the effect of Undying Holy Fire will be nullified. Fortunately, that didn’t seem to happen this time.
At least the Flame Chasing Furry Dog withstood the burst damage this round, but looking at the situation, although it pulled through, it’s not in a good state.
Looking at Xiao Ji, who wasn’t much better off than the Flame Chasing Furry Dog, despite having maxed out all attributes, the power of Revenge Heavenly Punishment speaks for itself. Xiao Ji, lacking a special Ultimate Move like Undying Holy Fire, could only endure with hastily deployed defensive moves.
However, compared to the Flame Chasing Furry Dog, Xiao Ji recovered quicker, with the shimmering deep-blue Starfire, and its aura rose rapidly, its eyes full of caution locked on the Wind and Thunder Falcon below.
