Chapter 1428: Annett and Her Beasts(3)

Annett belonged to the beast-taming system, so her combat level was average. For someone with her level, it was impossible to win against a beast sold by the store.

But the system had already prepared for it when it activated the product. Beast tamers could choose one to three beasts to merge with, depending on the device's number. The first device would allow merging with one beast, while the second would allow two beasts.

The merging would allow the cultivator to use the abilities of their tamed beast. It gave beast tamers enough strength to fight back. At the same time, it ensured that the tamers wouldn't use the higher number of beasts to take advantage.

In addition to merging, the beast tamers would have their own learned skills, so it seemed a good deal for the cultivators of the system.

While waiting for her turn, Annett thought of which beast to merge with when battling the Phantom Moth and Spectral Worm.

Time flew by, and minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Annett stood in front of the square device with the Phantom Moth beast card in her left hand. She then took a deep breath and placed the card in the compartment, and then her right hand in the specific section.

The next moment, Annett found herself in a different environment, filled with an abundance of spiritual energy. With only a single breath, Annett found that all her stress had vanished, and her heart turned as serene as a rock.

In front of her stood projections of the tamed beasts. For every level, a cultivator could tame one beast, so at that time, Annett had six beasts of her own. Each beast belonged to the spiritual field.

Annett decided to trust her strongest beast, which had been with her for several thousand years. It was a Phantom Bear, one of the species of the bear group.

Annett reached the Phantom Bear's projection, and the next moment, the light particles melted into her. She could feel her strength growing at a tremendous rate.

Despite being a peak Divine Lord, her physique was equal to that of an early Divine Being, but once the merging occurred, she finally felt the vast difference between physique. At the same time, all the skills the beast had also emerged in her mind.

It was as if she had completely mastered those skills. At that moment, Annett felt like the most powerful being to exist.

The delusion didn't last long, and Annnett's body got fully accustomed to the Phantom Bear's strength in no time. The remaining projections in front of her dissipated since she could only merge with one beast.

Time flew by, and after a tiresome and grueling battle spanning a few hours, it came to an end, with Annett being the victor.

After returning, Annett completed the remaining process of the beast sale, except for the payment. She then took a deep breath and began the second taming battle.

***

After Annett merged with the Phantom Bear, she could combine with one other beast, so she reached for the Ghostly Harrow. It was a beast that could enhance Annett's defenses due to its strong mental resilience.

After the merging was complete, Annett found that she was more powerful at that moment than she was in reality, despite being a late Higher God, whereas she was only an early Higher God in the taming battle.

Annett, who was immersed in the enjoyment of increased strength, returned to reality as the spiritual energy made wild movements.

The next moment, the Spectral Worm appeared out of nowhere and stopped a hundred meters away from her. It wasn't very big, so keeping the distance in mind, the two opponents looked the same size.

The Spectral Worm stared at Annett with its pitch-black eyes. Annett felt her sea of consciousness going out of control with a simple stare, but fortunately for her, it was nothing more than an illusion.

Ding!

The directionless bell rang, announcing the start of the taming battle.

Annett immediately activated [Spirit Crush] and rushed forward. Her hands seemed to hold the soul of the Spectral Worm at that time, and she immediately made the movement of crushing invisible air.

Hiss!

The Spectral Worm roared and squirmed in pain, but it immediately recovered and attacked, activating [Soul-draining Bite]. The spirit beasts were unusually quick due to their attributes, so the beast reached Annett in no time.

Fortunately for Annett, she had expected a move like that, so she activated [Ghostly Dodge] and immediately melded into nothingness. The next moment, she appeared several hundred meters away from her original spot, with the worm biting empty air.

The Ghostly Harrow had no powerful attacking skill, but its defenses were exceptionally good, and it didn't fail Annett. The Spectral Worm repeatedly tried to strike Annett, but using several of the Ghostly Harrow's skills, she missed the danger.

The battle seemed to be going nowhere, as neither of the two was able to cause any grave damage to the other side. The issue of energy exhaustion wouldn't arise for a very long time due to the abundance of spiritual energy in the area.

Time flew by, and several hours had passed in a flash.

Annett and the Spectral Worm were going at each other, giving their all to claim the victory. The Spectral Worm was yet to unleash its ultimate attack, so Annett was also holding onto her ultimate skill.

Just like that, several more hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Even though neither of the two was able to land any grave damage, the quantity of small injuries did the work. Sometimes quantity was better than quality.

It was the case with both opponents, but Annett was the one at the disadvantage since her vitality wasn't as strong as the Spectral Worm.

Even though the Spectral Worm hadn't used its ultimate skill, it didn't mean that Annett couldn't use the one she owned. From the way the battle was going, Annett could see that it favored the beast more than her.

Coming to that conclusion, Annett decided it was time and activated her ultimate skill.
