"The Stonebreaker has thrown out its brick!" Nephthys shouted from the commentary booth.
On the field, bricks were thrown into the air like afterimages, their speed even faster than that of steel balls flying upwards.
The brick didn't hit the steelworker; instead, it arrived from above first.
Then, it spins rapidly, growing bigger and bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In an instant, the bricks covered most of the sky above the field, and the field was instantly shrouded in shadow, as if a giant rock had fallen from the sky.
The companion item of the Stone Bearer does not attack by simply throwing or smashing, but by expanding or even splitting. The stronger the energy connection between the pet and the stone bearer, the stronger the power of the brick. It is said that there are other variations as well. The specifics depend mainly on the energy of the pet and the use of the brick... Qiao Sang looked up at the almost completely covered sky without surprise.
Although the Stonebreaker has never enlarged the brick to this extent in previous matches, according to past battle videos, it has enlarged the brick to a size of about 100 square meters when it was at the King level.
Now that it has evolved to the Emperor level, the energy in its body has increased many times over, so growing to this extent is still within expectations.
Compared to Qiao Sang, the audience was clearly shocked, exclaiming in amazement at the brick that suddenly grew to almost cover the entire area.
In the air, Steel Bao's speed did not stop at all.
Just as its brick-like shape grew larger, it placed its left wing on top of its right wing and pulled hard. In the instant the huge wing was pulled out, it suddenly grew larger and transformed into a huge curved blade surrounded by purple feathers and radiating a holy white light.
"Bang!"
With a deafening roar, the enormous curved blade, gleaming with a holy white light, cleaved upwards with force, splitting the "giant rock" that could almost cover the entire arena in two as easily as fragile paper. The cut was straight and smooth, without the slightest wrinkle.
Steel Bao broke through the "giant rock" and soared into the sky.
"Steel Emperor's Supreme Power unleashed the Skywing Blade, easily slicing through the Nu Stone's companion artifact!" Aurore exclaimed excitedly from the commentary booth.
Nephthys analyzed, "The Skywing Blade is a super-tier skill, and the Stone Eater has only recently evolved. The Steel Power Emperor's energy should be above that of the Stone Eater, so splitting the companion item is not difficult."
"The Yin Bell".
"The Yin Bell..."
Yin Zhongsi pondered for a moment and called out twice, indicating that the companion item of the Stone Eater changes its strength according to its own energy. Even if Gang Quan Huangji used the super-level skill Heavenly Wing Blade to cut through the brick, it shouldn't be this easy, unless...
It stopped there.
“Unless what?” Auror asked in response.
"The Yin Bell".
Yin Zhongsi called out.
Unless the level of the Steel Power Emperor is above that of the Stone Master, at least one minor level higher.
This means that the Steel Power Emperor is at least at the mid-stage of the Emperor level.
During the conversation, Gangbao had risen to a point where he could no longer be seen.
After the "giant rock" was split in two, it did not fall but remained suspended in the air before suddenly splitting into countless bricks.
At the same time, a purple light flashed in the sky, and then a "purple meteorite" suddenly fell from the clouds, with a powerful airflow sweeping around it at a terrifying speed.
“Let’s agree,” Xia Huo said.
“Nu Shi”.
The stone-bearer shouted, and countless bricks in the sky immediately gathered together, transforming once again into a "giant rock" that blocked the area.
"Bang!!!"
The "purple meteorite" crashed heavily onto the "giant rock," piercing a hole through it, and continued to fall towards the direction of the Stone Eater.
Although the "giant rock" did not stop the "purple meteorite" from falling, its speed was suddenly slowed down due to the obstruction.
The stone-throwing beast started running quickly, throwing its other brick upwards with force as it moved.
The brick, thrown in the direction where the "purple meteorite" fell, quickly spun and grew larger.
Before it could reach its full potential, the "purple meteorite" struck it.
"Bang!!!"
This time, the "giant rock" was not immediately pierced through; instead, it held firm for two seconds before being blasted open.
The "purple meteorite" continued to fall.
The Stone Eater had now moved to a location outside where the "purple meteorite" had fallen. It stopped, raised its claws, and the "giant rocks" that had been blasted apart earlier instantly converged towards it, turning back into bricks in its hand.
"boom!!!"
The "purple meteorite" crashed heavily to the ground, creating a deafening roar that shook the entire arena. The ground cracked, revealing huge fissures.
The entire stadium suddenly sank as the steel ball fell, and from the back seats, one could clearly see that the stadium had been smashed into a terrifying crater.
Countless rock fragments flew everywhere.
As the ground collapsed and trembled, the Stone Bearer's body swayed and he was briefly lifted off the ground.
However, it quickly moved across the flying rocks and regained its footing.
"The overwhelming power of the Steel Emperor did not strike the Stone Bearer," Nephthys said from the commentary booth.
“Both of the Stone-Slaying Bricks slowed down the Steel Power Emperor’s fall speed,” Auror analyzed. “Although the Stone-Slaying Beast is not fast among pets of the same level, it is small in size. Without a barrier-type skill to block its movement, it is difficult to hit it with Mount Tai’s Overwhelming Force alone.”
"Yin Zhong." Yin Zhongsi thought of something and called out, indicating that compared to the Underworld Lord, the Nu Shi Zhe was much larger.
"Pillar." On the field, Xia Huo issued the command.
The Stonebreaker leaped off the rock and landed on the still-shaking ground. Its claws dug into the ground, and brown energy rippled on them.
The next second, the ground shook violently again.
Steel Treasure quickly flapped its wings and left the giant pit.
Immediately afterwards, the bottom of the giant pit suddenly exploded open, and a giant rock pillar with a sharp top quickly shot up from it, rising wildly to a height of about a thousand meters, soaring straight into the clouds!
Steel Treasure's body nearly brushed past the towering rock pillar.
The claws of the Stone Keeper did not leave the ground; it continued to circulate energy.
The ground shook and suddenly exploded, with towering rock pillars shooting up in the direction Steel Treasure was moving, trying to pierce straight through.
Before long, the protruding rocks occupied most of the area.
"If the attack continues like this, Steel Power Emperor will have no room to move anymore," Nefertis said from the commentary booth.
“That’s about it,” Jossan thought to himself as Nephthys spoke.
"Steel Power." Steel Treasure responded in his mind, then transformed into a white light and flew into the sky, quickly disappearing without a trace.
Not long after, the "purple meteorite" fell again.
"Steel Power Emperor has once again unleashed Mount Tai Press!" Aurore shouted.
"The Yin Bell".
Yin Zhongsi pondered for a moment and then called out, indicating that now was indeed a good time for Gang Quan Huangji to attack, as the rock pillars cast by Nu Shizhe were also hindering its own movement.
“However, the Stoneweaver is currently positioned among the rock pillars, which hinders its movement but also protects it,” Nephthys said. “To attack it, we must break through these rock pillars.”
“Mount Tai Pressing Down is just a high-level skill,” Auror analyzed. “Even if the Steel Power Emperor’s energy exceeds that of the Stone Master, it’s impossible to completely break through such a long rock pillar. I think it might stop in the middle.”
"Bang!!!"
As they discussed it, the "purple meteorite" crashed down.
Wherever it landed, towering, incredibly hard rock pillars collapsed with a deafening roar, scattering debris everywhere. In almost an instant, nearly a third of the length of each rock pillar was shattered.
However, after that, the "purple meteorite" fell at a slower and slower speed. When the rock pillar was half shattered, the speed slowed down even more noticeably. Even beast tamers who had not received visual feedback could clearly see the trajectory of the "purple meteorite".
"Shoot." Xia Huo gave the command.
Because of the previous emotional traumas, she couldn't get excited at all, even though the other party had shown obvious weaknesses.
“Nu Shi”.
Upon hearing the command from its Beastmaster, the claws of the Stone Eater, still stuck in the ground, glowed with brown energy.
The next moment, an incredibly hard rock pillar suddenly rose from its location.
Unlike the previous rock pillars, its head is not sharp, but flat, allowing the rock-struck person to stand steadily on it.
"Nu Shi." Nu Shi raised its paw, and another brick flew rapidly toward its hand.
At the same time, it threw the brick on its other claw upwards at an angle.
The brick traced a delicate arc in the air, arriving above the "purple meteorite," and then rapidly spun and grew larger.
The instant the brick was thrown, the Stone Bearer grasped another brick, covered it with brown energy, and rapidly swelled it to about one meter in size.
Holding a brick in its hand, with its knees slightly bent, it suddenly exerted force with its legs and leaped directly into the air, smashing it hard against the "purple meteorite" above.
At the same time, another brick turned into a huge rock, covering most of the sky above, and then fell downwards.
Upon seeing this, everyone exclaimed in astonishment. The strength of the Stone Eater was beyond their imagination; they had not expected that it could control the situation.
"The Stonebreaker raises its accompanying artifact and attacks upwards! Meanwhile, its other accompanying artifact attacks downwards from above!" Nephthys shouted. "Now the Steel Emperor is being attacked from both sides!"
Auror seemed to be thinking about something and said, "I wonder if Steel Power Emperor will use the defensive skill that he used to withstand the lightning attack last time under these circumstances."
Just as the two commentators were talking, Qiao Sang thought to himself, "Now is the time."
On the rock pillar, Steel Treasure stopped falling and spread its wings forcefully.
In an instant, an exceptionally terrifying light sword, over ten meters long, suddenly formed beneath it and stabbed fiercely towards the stone-wielding attacker below!
"This is it!" Everyone stared at the lightsaber that appeared out of thin air, their eyes lighting up.
"Flash." Xia Huo instinctively judged that this was the super-level skill Holy Sword, which was irresistible.
Her tone and expression remained unchanged, as if the changes on the field had not increased her adrenaline at all.
"The Holy Sword! Steel Emperor has unleashed the Holy Sword!" On the commentary stage, Nefertis was first stunned, then exclaimed excitedly.
Although super-level skills are rare, the contestants in the Master Challenge are all exceptionally talented A-level professional beast tamers, and almost every pet has one or two super-level skills as its ultimate move.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't be that excited. Even if her tone is excited, it's just to create an atmosphere that makes the audience feel more immersed in the story.
However, she was genuinely excited just now.
It's important to know that Holy Sword is a high-level Fighting-type skill, yet it's now appearing on a Steel-type and Flying-type pet!
To successfully defeat the Rockbreaker, which possesses numerous defensive skills and abilities, the Holy Sword, which ignores ability changes, is the best choice. However, it's not easy for the Holy Sword to hit the Rockbreaker, since the Rockbreaker is not large and can easily dodge attacks in such a large arena, even if it's not fast. But that's not a big problem. As a Rock-type Pokémon, the opponent only has a few moves to attack Steelix, using moves like Rock Smash or Rock Pillar to restrict its movement. But this can restrict Steelix's movement as well as the Rockbreaker's. As long as Steelix creates a slight opening, the opponent will definitely try to restrict Steelix's movement to attack. Sure enough, everything is just as she thought... Qiao Sang calmly watched the figure moving between the rock pillars.
Between the rock pillars, the stone-wielder used his physical strength to move to the side.
However, it was surrounded by rock pillars, and although it was smaller than a royal-level pet, it was still about three meters tall, making it impossible for it to move over a large area.
The stone-carrier had only moved a short distance when he suddenly couldn't breathe, his face contorted in extreme pain, and his movements came to a halt.
The holy sword crashed down.
It was air absorption... Nushizhe had previously heard his Beastmaster introduce the relevant information about Steel Power Emperor. Relying on instinct, armor made of condensed rock instantly appeared around his body. He no longer looked for any support points and let himself fall downwards, trying to leave the area where the air was being absorbed.
However, the Holy Sword was faster.
"Bang!!!"
The lightsaber pierced the stone warrior's body, shattering his rock armor.
"Nu Shi!"
The stone-wielder let out a pitiful cry.
"Boom!!!" Almost at the same time, a violent noise also rang out from above.
Like a "giant rock" that covered most of the field, it crashed heavily onto Gangbao.
"hiss……"
Many viewers who witnessed this scene gasped in shock.
The expected screams did not come. The "giant rock" split in two, turning into two huge rocks and countless fragments that fell downwards.
Meanwhile, Steel Treasure stood high in the sky, like an unyielding steel behemoth, silently watching the Nushizhe fall below along with countless rubble.
At the same time, towering rock pillars collapsed with a deafening roar.
"Finish him off," Qiao Sang thought to himself.
Although the Holy Sword can ignore changes in the opponent's abilities and deal damage directly, the Stonebreaker doesn't need to rely on skills or traits; its own defense is also incredibly strong. It's still better to finish it off.
Steel Treasure did not respond, but simply flapped its wings downwards forcefully.
Instantly, the sky was filled with purple light, and feathers as sharp as blades rained down on the stone-wielder like a storm.
"Bang bang bang!"
Countless purple blades bombarded the Stone Eater's body.
Immediately afterwards, the purple blade spun upwards, transforming into wings and returning to Steel Treasure's body.
"Bang!"
The stone-wielder fell to the ground amidst countless pebbles, his eyes closed, never to open again.
High in the sky, the huge falling rock vanished, turning into bricks that crashed to the ground with a "bang".
A moment of silence fell over the entire hall, followed by a deafening roar. (End of Chapter)
