"Curse Messenger!"
The Curse Messenger’s expression changed, instantly understanding why it lost control. It forcefully swiped its still free left hand downwards.
A purple light flashed.
The shadow connected to the ground was sliced open instantly as if cut by a blade.
At the same time, with a "bang," a giant Shadow Sphere brutally struck the Curse Messenger’s head.
"Curse Messenger!"
The Curse Messenger let out a miserable scream.
The surrounding people’s gaze gathered once more, showing expressions of surprise.
They naturally recognized the King-level Spectral-type Pet, Curse Messenger, but its opponent was too small; they couldn’t see clearly. Those located a little further away couldn’t even see the Curse Messenger’s opponent.
What kind of Pet could injure the Curse Messenger in such a short time? People looked at each other, seeing curiosity and confusion in their eyes.
Many, both people and Pet Beasts, couldn’t contain their curiosity and started walking towards the dueling area to see the commotion. This included some Beast Tamers and Pet Beasts who were originally in battle.
Shadow Cutting Blade, a high-level Spectral Series skill, can cut shadows apart, perfectly countering Shadow Control... Qiao Sang recognized the skill the Curse Messenger used and was somewhat surprised.
It’s rare for a Pet to use this move; it’s considered an obscure skill. Even in regional competitions with plenty of experts, she hadn’t seen any Pet demonstrate this skill.
Though, back at the regional competitions, she hardly encountered any Spectral-type Pets... Qiao Sang gathered her thoughts and said:
"Lockdown."
The Curse Messenger’s best skill is Curse Type; Spatial Lockdown can isolate such moves to some extent.
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter’s eyes shone blue.
The area around the Curse Messenger was instantly enveloped in a semi-transparent barrier.
Simultaneously, many people around used their interstellar version Pet Beast Identifiers to identify Little Treasure Hunter’s data.
Suddenly, a clamour ensued:
"Isn’t this a Spectral-type Pet Beast? How can it also use Psychic Series skills?"
"The color is different from the picture; this is a Variant Color Pet Beast!"
"My goodness, Spectral combined with Psychic, this combination is incredible..."
"It’s actually the same level as the Curse Messenger. It’s my first time seeing such a small King-level Pet Beast..."
The Curse Messenger frowned at the surrounding barrier, opened its mouth, and a purple rotating wave burst forth.
"Bang!"
A loud noise and the barrier shattered in response.
So effortlessly... It seems the Curse Messenger’s energy far surpasses Little Treasure Hunter... Qiao Sang subconsciously analyzed.
As these thoughts flashed, the Curse Messenger’s eyes glowed purple.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang’s thoughts stopped abruptly, shouting:
"Don’t look at its eyes!"
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter teleported away from its original spot, appearing behind the Curse Messenger.
However, just as it appeared, the Curse Messenger seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around.
Unfortunately, Little Treasure Hunter was too small, and the Curse Messenger did not immediately spot its figure.
Little Treasure Hunter teleported again, appearing several hundred meters above the Curse Messenger.
It looked down, while a giant Night Ring King, about forty meters in size, maintained a downward posture, diving down.
The intense white light enveloped its entire head.
From below, it seemed like a white meteor falling at high speed.
The crowd exclaimed in astonishment.
The Curse Messenger showed a solemn expression, opened its mouth, and a dark light suddenly emitted from the depths of its throat, transforming into a terrifying death beam with a diameter of about three meters shooting out.
The speed was so fast that, in an instant, the beam pierced through the diving giant Night Ring King.
The giant Night Ring King disappeared.
The death beam continued to shoot upwards.
Suddenly, at the beam’s path, a giant black hole with a diameter of about three meters appeared.
The beam entered it and vanished.
"Curse..."
Little Ting Dragon, from birth until now, had never seen such a battle, its mouth gradually opening.
"Rock Sharp."
Rock Sharp Stone Man walked to the Curse Messenger’s side and looked at it, then whistled once, signaling a victory for the human side.
"Great!" Jaclyn jumped up from her chair, her face excited.
Mikaela maintained a calm expression, as if she had anticipated this outcome.
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Hunter first circled in the air excitedly, then remembered something, teleported to its Beast Tamer’s side, pointed at its body with a worried expression, and called out.
It felt it was cursed.
No doubt, it was definitely... Qiao Sang saw the purple light on Little Treasure Hunter at the last phase but wasn’t too worried.
Though the nature of the Curse Power is unknown, besides finding a Pet Beast that can purify curses and waiting for the curse’s duration to end, there’s another way to remove it: finding the Pet Beast that cast the curse and having it lift it directly.
With the Curse Messenger right in front, as soon as it awakens, lifting the curse will be quick.
"Don’t worry, when Curse Messenger wakes up, it’ll be easy to have it lift the curse," Qiao Sang assured.
"Xun Xun~"
Little Treasure Hunter seemed comforted, nodding.
Just as Qiao Sang lifted her leg to walk to the Curse Messenger to have Lubao help in treatment, suddenly wild Pet Beasts surrounded them, using voices both shy, excited, and curious.
What’s happening? Qiao Sang was puzzled.
"Steel Chief."
Gangbao called in her mind, helping translate.
They are asking about your background.
Asking about my background? Qiao Sang paused, looking at the wild Pet Beasts calling out continuously around her, feeling like she was at a matchmaking corner, questioned by numerous aunts and uncles.
"Ting Ting!"
"Ting Ting!"
Little Ting Dragon watched this scene, seemingly recalling something; its expression turned dark, quickly jumping from its backpack, moving promptly towards them.
Stay away from my Beast Tamer!
This is mine!
