Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 309

"That guy was really..." Isis and Marin looked at each other in wide-eyed amazement. They had also heard Rocky's explanation. They could not believe that Rocky knew every bit of the characteristics of the Hallucinatory Bat. He even managed to use this knowledge to his advantage and eventually defeat it. What surprised them even more was that the Hallucinatory Bat was the spirit-manipulated beast of his enemy, and yet Rocky knew it better than its owner. This was not something that anyone could master.

"It seems that he really learned a lot from Sheridan!" Marin marveled in amazement.

Rocky also noticed Isis and Marin as they talked. He turned to them with a smile to put them at ease. However, the two girls replied with a roll of their eyes, in order to pretend that they weren't watching him. They left soon hurriedly as if they were merely passing by.

Rocky led Uriah away as well and headed for the main road where they had previously fought their way to the martial pitch.

However, he had noticed that the other two spirit-manipulated beasts did not come after them. His instincts told him to be wary, that this could only be a scheme to catch him off guard. He commanded Uriah to be careful as they ran, not letting his guard down. Not long after, the outline of the martial pitch came into their sight. That meant they were likely to be the one to snatch the victory.

As Uriah ran across two giant rock formations, two beast figures appeared unexpectedly. It seemed that they had been waiting behind the rocks to ambush them. They flanked on the right and left of Uriah to charge him with a powerful attack.

Uriah pranced and dodged the pincer attack from the two beasts. Even though it managed to escape narrowly, the two beasts had firmly blocked their way forward.

Rocky slowed to a halt as he observed their surroundings. He saw two figures when they emerged from the back of the rock formation. The shadowed figures stood side by side with malicious smiles on their faces.

The clouds parted and Rocky finally saw the faces of his opponents. They were none other than the two Deputy Commanders and their spirit-manipulated beasts.

"Hey, bastard, thank you for annihilating one of the competitors for us!" The Deputy Commander in red who Rocky saw yeasterday smiled at him smugly, as if he knew something that he did not.

"You did that on purpose." Rocky realized it the moment that he heard the comment of the Deputy Commander in red. The two Deputy Commanders obviously formed an alliance in secret. They purposely set the Deputy Commander in blue robe against him. They knew that it would be a lot easier for them to win the battle if they would have only one enemy instead of two. It did not matter who won the fight, the result was the same to them. As the saying went, 'When the shepherds quarrel, the wolf has won'.

"That's right. But unfortunately for you, it's too late to do anything about it. Hand over the spiritual crystal now or we will make sure your spirit-manipulated beast will suffer!" The Deputy Commander in red barked at Rocky as if they had already won the battle.

Rocky glanced at the Deputy Commander in red and then eyed the two spirit-manipulated beasts that blocked their way. One of them was the spirit-manipulated beast of the Deputy Commander in red which he saw yesterday. Its scientific name was Celestial Star Porcupine, a beast at the second grade of three stars. It was covered by thorns like a hedgehog which served as a good defense as well as an aggressive weapon. On the other side, the beast had the shape of a leopard. Each of its four legs was covered by one row of fins, as sharp as a blade. Its scientific name was Razor-fin Leopard and was known to be ferocious. The four rows of the fins could act as four effective weapons which collapsed the defense of the challenger. It was also a beast at the second grade of three stars.

From what he knew, these two spirit-manipulated beasts were good at melee attacks. Uriah would not be able to get a leg up on the combo attack of the two beasts. On top of that, Uriah had had a hard fight with the three-headed Hallucinatory Bat. It had also run with its utmost speed all the way until then. It had worn itself out by spending too much energy and spiritual power. It would be an extremely difficult fight if it had to engage the two spirit-manipulated beasts at the same time.

There were two options in front of Rocky at that moment. One was to think of a way to separate the two spirit-manipulated beasts and then, defeat them one by one. The other option was to sally forcibly. Either way, they would win the competition if they could arrive the martial pitch.

However, the chance to separate the two spirit-manipulated beasts was next to zero since the Deputy Commander in red and the other Deputy Commander had formed an alliance. He did not doubt that they would fight aggressively to make sure that they would not be separated. And yet, the risk of the other option was even worse. They would be trapped in a dangerous impasse if they failed to break through the alliance.

Rocky swallowed and breathed heavily to calm himself. There was no reason to flinch. The martial pitch was at hand. He just needed to collect himself.
