Chapter 139: Thousand-legged Centipede, Poison-type Battle Beast

Sure enough, Mike was unfazed by the centipede’s attack.

It had a relaxed expression on its face, and it acted as if it had not taken any damage.

“Isn’t this pig too powerful?”

“Yeah, it seems like attacks are physical attacks are useless against it…”

“But it also seems to possesses only one skill…”

“Will the centipede be devoured too?”

Despite knowing that its attacks were ineffective, Shaw did not withdraw his centipede. Instead, he urged his Battle Beast to attack even more aggressively.

“Can’t you see that your attacks are useless against my Battle Beast?” Lawrence asked curiously.

However, Shaw did not answer him. There was a sinister smile on his face.

“Devour it, Mike!” To make Locke’s battles a little easier, Lawrence decided to get rid of one of his opponents for him.

Mike pounced on the centipede with all four of its limbs spread out!

Although its Devour was very powerful, Mike was fat and slow. Before it had even gotten close to the centipede, its opponent had already returned to its master’s side.

“Don’t even think about running…” Lawrence’s mana surged as he ordered Mike to charge at its opponents.

However, Shaw and his Battle Beast had changed their tempo. Instead of attacking, they constantly dodged, and gave no opportunity for Mike to catch up to them.

“What are they doing?”

“Why aren’t they fighting?”

“Alpha University is too passive…”

The audience was puzzled by Shaw’s behavior.

Meanwhile, the Alpha University students were completely unconcerned about Shaw’s dodging.

Rosetti noticed their eerily calm attitude, and felt that something was amiss.

She hurriedly ran to the dueling platform and summoned her Battle Beast, Life Spirit.

Suddenly, the sprinting pink pig suddenly slowed down. Before long, it had completely collapsed onto the ground.

Stranger still, Mike’s complexion deteriorated rapidly. Before long, its pink skin had turned into a ghastly shade of purple.

“Mike!”

Lawrence had no clue as to what had happened. He hurriedly ran towards his Battle Beast.

“So it’s poison, huh!”

“Since physical attacks are a no-go, he decided to use poison attacks instead. How clever!”

“His Battle Beast is one of the best poison-types I’ve ever laid eyes on. I was wondering why the centipede had faced the pig head-on just now, but now it makes sense. It was so that it could unleash its poison on the pig!”

One of the audience members seemed to be familiar with Shaw’s Battle Beast.

It was indeed the case. He was a die-hard fan of Alpha University, and his favorite Battle Beast was Shaw’s Thousand-legged Centipede.

It was a purple rare rank Battle Beast, that was Stage 2 and Level 1 in strength.

Not only did it possess powerful defense and mobility, its poison-based abilities were also difficult to fend off against.

“Leave it to me!” Rossetti had already entered the dueling platform to heal Mike.

Her action was in accordance with the rules, as there was no limit to the number of participants who could enter the dueling platform.

After a quick inspection, Rossetti discovered that the poison was rather potent.

It paralyzed the nerves of Battle Beasts, and as a result, the Battle Beasts would lose their ability to move.

“Perfect… I can take out two of them at once!” Shaw ordered his Thousand-legged Centipede to attack the two enemy Battle Beasts before him!

“Spirit Shield!” Rosetti noticed her aggressive opponent and immediately created a defensive shield to cover herself and Lawrence.

However, the Thousand-legged Centipede was unperturbed.

In addition to the thousands of its razor-sharp feet, it had also bared its fangs!

Clang!

The force of the collision with the barrier was very strong!

It sent tremors through the dueling platform.

“It’s okay! My barrier is very strong. We can hold on until Locke comes back!” Rosetti comforted the panicking Lawrence.

“Hehe…” Shaw did not approve of Rosetti’s words, and he expended his mana once more.

The Thousand-legged Centipede had received its master’s command.

Moreover, the seemingly slim centipede was in fact, very strong!

It wrapped around Rosetti’s barrier and began to exert all of its strength!

“Crack… Crack… Crack…”

Not long after, cracks began to appear on the surface of Rosetti’s barrier.

“No… Impossible!” Rossetti was confident in her barrier’s strength.

Moreover, the centipede was only a poison-type beast. As such, she was caught off guard by its burst of strength!

However, she did not have the luxury to mull over the matter.

She reinforced the barrier with her mana while she continued to heal Mike.

Despite the intense situation, her expression was calm, and she did not show an ounce of panic on her face.

Her mana continued to flow out of her.

It was only then that Lawrence realized the reason the instructors had chosen her to be their third representative. It was due her indomitable mental strength!

This was exactly what Lawrence lacked.

However, a strong will could only bring the team so far.

As a healing support, she was already at her limit!

Crash!

Under the heavy pressure of the centipede, Rosetti’s barrier finally shattered!

The Thousand-legged Centipede shrunk its neck, and prepared to deal a fatal blow to both of its opponents!

“Die!” Shaw’s face was filled with excitement. After all, defeating two opponents at a single go was a great achievement.

However, Rosetti did not give up. She immediately shouted, “Life Spirit!”

Life Spirit immediately created a layer of light similar to a “flying carpet” that carried both beasts into the air, just in time to dodge the Thousand-legged Centipede attack!

However, as Rosetti possessed no offensive skills, there was nothing much she could do. She quickly turned to at the preparation area, and she realized that Locke was still not back.

Nevertheless, she did not complain. Instead, she decided to take up a defensive and evasive strategy.

“Locke, come back quickly…”

The Federal Academy’s sorry state had attracted boos from the crowd.

“Hahaha! How embarrassing. Why don’t they just surrender…”

“The chick is really good-looking. Unfortunately, she’s just a support…”

“She doesn’t have any offensive skills. I wonder where the other one went…”

“He must have been scared witless, and hid somewhere…”

“Alpha University is going to defend their title again this year!”

“I bet all my money on Alpha University! My villa is already beckoning to me…”

Andre, who was smoking a cigar, stood up and said, “Shaw! Kill the two of them quickly. As a reward, I will ask my father to grant you the Alpha family name!”

Shaw was ecstatic!

As an orphan, Shaw did not own a surname.

As such, obtaining the Alpha’s surname was one of his greatest goals.

He tried hard to calm down the excitement in his heart. He turned around and looked at Rosetti and the beasts in mid-air. He glared fiercely and shouted, “Little girl! Do you think that I am helpless against aerial enemies?”
