Chapter 15 - Victory

PEEW!!

Just as the Rat Emperor scrambled to its feet, the searing lightning beam blasted it head-on!

[Rat Emperor has used skill: Zero Potential]

It is conducting such electric power into the earth?

A surge of electricity flowed into the whole body of the Rat Emperor, the monster was struggling slightly but calm, it was as if it weren't resisting the lightning beam that struck it.

Instead, It was accepting the electric power, letting it flow into its whole body then directing it into the Earth, all its body was glowing with pure blue light of electricity.

Arcs of electricity danced around its long fierce incisors.

Sparks flew off the red tuft of hair on its head, making them stand erect.

Rheo wanted to jump back in fright, the multiplied lightning power should have been nearing a billion volts, but why?

What type of monster is this?

The data shimmered into view.

[Monster: Rat Emperor]

[Fiery-tooth tribe]

[Rank: Emperor]

[L.v: 47]

[Exp: 40500/150000]

[Grade: Wild, Tier-9 (uncontracted)]

[Zero potential: conduct electricity directly to the Earth without receiving any damage]

[Earth Spike: (locked) (L.v 50)]

Strength stat is 205?! For a wild grade, isn't that too much? This is the power of a Rat Emperor...

Rheo heart was thumping hard in his chest.

Another high-pitched sound erupted, it was from Raizen, the bird was almost reaching its limit!

Damn, Raizen, don't give up!

Rheo gnashed his teeth, the heat wave singing the exposed part of his body was already becoming unbearable as every second passed by, like he was standing inside a furnace with no way out.

The bird suddenly faced the sky, its beak parted wide with a sharp cry that pierced the thick air!

Rheo flinched instinctively, realizing it was conjuring another beam of electricity in its mouth.

Wise! That would make it discharge more electric power than before.

Rheo eyes widened in anticipation.

Just as the beam was about to pour out, the thunderbird faced the Rat Emperor.

PEEW!!!

A beam of electric energy shot out, lancing straight toward the Rat Emperor with blinding brilliance.

It seemed it had seen it coming—the Rat Emperor suddenly gnashed its teeth with great biting power, as if intending to chew through fate itself!

RUMBLE RUMBLE

Like an impending earthquake, the ground beneath Rheo shook with great intensity, a rumbling that echoed through his bones.

Rheo struggled to stay on his feet, legs trembling like reeds in a storm.

[Rat Emperor has used skill: TerritoryQuake]

An irritated expression etched itself across his features as a notification slipped into view.

[Stun]

[Stun]

Some notifications shimmered and faded away just as they had come, disappearing like fleeting sparks.

The searing beam of energy missed the target as the thunderbird was disorientated.

Multiple trees were razed to the grounds within the blink of an eye!

Some caught fire, smoke billowing from the distance.

Due to the razed tree, the clearing became wider than before.

Rheo fell on his butt in fright, Raizen was reaching its limit, was this the much it could do against a tier-9 wild-grade monster?

Even though it remained just a single tier for the monster to evolve into a Commander-grade monster, this fight seemed as if two higher-tier Commander-grade monsters were fighting.

Is this how pets battle?

Rheo squeaked out unconsciously.

He turned to look, Raizen's power was diminishing, the Lightning-Struck Vine was reaching its limit.

Noticing this, a grin spread across the crooked face of Rat Emperor.

It stood affixed without even fighting back as if showing them that the electricity wasn't doing a thing.

The flow was steady, with its [Zero Potential skill], it was directing the energy smoothly into the ground.

It started moving toward Raizen, and with every step the Rat Emperor took, the beam of energy from the bird's wing tip diminished.

ZAPPP!!!

Huh?

Just now, Rheo witnessed something, his eyes couldn't have deceived him, the Rat Emperor's skeleton frame shimmered into view just now, as if it was suddenly electrocuted!

A light grin tugged at the corner of Rheo's lips, he stood up on his feet immediately.

The Rat Emperor stopped in its tracks, just now, it felt something it had never felt before, a powerful shock that rippled through its entire frame.

It shook his head which suddenly felt light, wondering what was happening.

Raizen, squeeze out more power!

Rheo heart was beating fast, his theory was correct, if an Earth-type monster was subjected to powerful electric energy, its insulating properties were sure to break down.

ZAPZAP!!!

A heavy electric shock hit the Rat Emperor, its entire frame shuddered intensely.

The heat wave emanating from the singed air suddenly increased.

The youngster felt his skin sizzle and he realized Raizen was delivering the killing blow.

WHOOSH!!

Rheo heard a rustling sound from the woods.

And so it happened as multiple Muscle Rat suddenly appeared!

Rheo jumped back in fright, his heart almost jumped out, just when the battle was about to end.

One of the Muscle Rats stepped out, Rheo recognized it, it was the one that stood guard, the one he had wanted to lure, only for him to lure the nightmare instead.

The Muscle Rat started using some weird hand motions, whispering strange sounds that he couldn't understand.

[Status: Rallying]

Oh, you little guy, his eyes widened. The tribe was indeed oppressed.

The burnt smell that permeated the air caught Rheo's attention, he turned to the Rat Emperor.

Smoke billowed from the body of the scorched monster, its whole form completely burnt into a black corpse.

[Ding!]

[Your Pet (Steel-feather Thunder Falcon) Has Slain A Rat Emperor!]

[+10000 Exp!]

[You Have Received 2x Martial-type Tamer Tokens!]

[You Have Found A Loot [Earth-type Crystal Core] Take And Store it]

[Fiery Incisors of the Rat Emperor, Take And Store It]

The notification hung in his mind.

Rheo eyes widened, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

The tribe members of Muscle Rats jumped with joy, they were extremely delighted.

Raizen had done it, it had defeated a Wild-grade Lair Boss.

Dust spewed around as the bird monster fell with a thud, the arc of electricity diminishing with each passing second.

Have a nice long rest

Rheo called the bird back into his soul void, it had used up all of its stamina.

Weak sparks danced around the Lightning-Struck black vine.

The exposed ones burnt into dust, their black particles scattering away into the air.

Rheo heaved a heavy sigh of relief, he had indeed seen the battle through.

WHUAA!!!

A blinding light suddenly burst from the distance, as Rheo turned to look, his eyes widened with utter surprise.
