Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Mystical beasts
"Neither superior nor inferior, the battle between the temple guardian beast and Elder Garcia could go on forever."
While fighting with Gonzalez's top fighters, Ethan frowned as he watched the distant battle between the Purple Lightning Python and Elder Garcia.
The only difference between an Emerging Ability master and a Foundational Energy master.
Is that Emerging Ability masters can already harness the extraordinary powers of nature for their own use, fly with swords to some extent, and cast spells. Their abilities are versatile, making it tough to determine a winner among equals.
"Boom!"
Though he was observing the distant battle, Ethan didn't slack in his attack on the Gonzalez base!
By now, one of the five Emerging Ability masters, a mid-stage, had been killed by him.
Under the wide-ranging attack of the Blade Storm, the remaining four masters had to temporarily retreat, even the imprint of a basic ability device couldn't stop it.
Another cannon blast.
Ethan completely blasted open Garcia's defensive array!
"You ruin my family, and you will pay with your life!"
Although most of the Gonzalez members had already evacuated, the two elders of the Garcia family, watching their family reduced to ruins, were still uncontrollably furious.
"Keep him busy, none of those Blackwoods will survive!"
But no sooner had he spoken than Ethan found an opportunity, firing another laser cannon, killing the weakest Emerging Ability beginner of Gonzalez.
With another death.
The attacks from the Gonzalez people grew fiercer, they gradually discovered the drawbacks of the War AI Bionic Robot, taking advantage of its smaller size, they kept moving with Ethan, after all, the laser cannon needed to charge.
Ethan also understood their tactic, minimizing the operation cost of the mech, using the laser sword and the relatively energy-efficient cannon.
"The War AI Bionic Robot and the Purple Lightning Python have already held off some of their top fighters, it's all on you now!"
...
"Is this the true power of Blackwood?" Outside Forest Town, more than thirty members of the Martinez family also joined the battle!
At the beginning, they held no hope for the fight. After all, Blackwood had only risen to prominence over the past twenty or so years, starting from rural roots with all resources coming from the Silver Iron Forest.
But the moment the Purple Thunder Solar Python appeared, they were stunned. It was a monstrous creature capable of battling a False Core!
Not only that. Especially the silver figure soaring above Forest Town, almost single-handedly holding off most of the Gonzalez clan's Emerging Ability masters, even managing to kill two Emerging Ability Psychics under the joint attack of two peak Emerging Ability devices!
"We truly knew nothing of Blackwood's real strength," Jerry muttered, rubbing his face. But these two from the Martinez family realized they knew far too little!
"It's our turn to strike!" Nathan's call came from nearby.
Jerry and the family elder looked to the right, just in time to see Nathan give the order, and the ready and waiting people of Blackwood suddenly rose to their feet.
However, the armed villagers of Gratitude Village didn't move immediately. An unexpected figure stood up alone.
That rarely seen woman from Blackwood, a farmer's daughter from the countryside, who spoke softly and was usually seen as nothing more than a Level 5 Foundational Energy.
"May the Forebearer bless Blackwood with invincible might!" With Luna's fierce shout, a phantom image appeared around her— the Heavenly Moon Fox! This fox was all white, with a crescent moon mark between its eyebrows and a pair of fluffy tails standing tall, as if drawing strength from the heavens.
"Spiritual beast taming, Mid-Emerging Ability!" The Martinez family elder, experienced and knowledgeable, immediately recognized Luna's capabilities, which shocked him even more.
With Luna's fierce cry, the winds stirred and the trees swayed in the forests outside Forest Town. Suddenly, various mystical beasts appeared!
"Hundred-Eyed Demon Spider, Gale Wing Tiger, Sun Beast!" Jerry's face drastically changed. These mystical beasts, known to them as creatures of the Silver Iron Forest! Countless young members and subordinates of the four great families of Forest Town had died at the hands of these beasts, yet they had no way to deal with them.
Little did they expect, these fearsome beasts had silently become the guardian beasts of Blackwood!
Not only the few from the Martinez family were incredulous. At that moment, the people of Garcia, who had set up traps all over Forest Town, also showed faces of terror.
"Quick, the mystical beasts are attacking the city!"
"Garcia's Spear Formation, ready!"
"Damn it, Blackwood, how could they have so many mystical beasts?!"
As Luna, now in her fox form, charged with over a hundred mystical beasts between heaven and earth, she rushed towards Forest Town amidst dust and smoke.
On the other side of Forest Town, long spears floated in the air, raining down like a storm towards the beast horde!
The real battle began at that moment!
"Kill!" Nathan squinted his eyes. On this battlefield, he had no time to worry about his wife's safety.
As the mystical beasts countered the first wave of traps at Forest Town.
Watching beast after beast fall in pools of blood.
He led all the people of Gratitude Village in a desperate attack towards Forest Town!
"Screw it!" Seeing this, the Martinez family elder, his eyes red, flew on his sword, leading the last thirty or so people of the Martinez family into their homeland!
In the midst of the clashing sounds within Forest Town, a maid from Gratitude Village was pushing Olivia along the deserted streets. Olivia, with an expressionless face, stared ahead at the grand mansion. She slowly raised her head, looking at the sign above the courtyard.
"Is this the Rodriguez house?" she asked.
Several guards stationed in front of the Rodriguez house were vigilantly observing their surroundings, ready to question the intentions of the woman in the wheelchair.
Olivia, however, was already smiling as she said, "Olivia of the Blackwood sisters, here to see the head of the Rodriguez family, to offer the Rodriguez family a way to survive."
