Astral Pet Store novel - Chapter 661

Chapter 661 A Game

Roar!!

The Star Burst Dragon showed its fierce teeth and spat out filthy saliva all over the Blazing Turtle.

Still, the Blazing Turtle didn’t dare to make a move to avoid it. The crocodile was trembling as if it would have been caught doing something wrong. The dragon set its feet down!

It was going to stomp the Blazing Turtle to death!

The master of the Blazing Turtle was witnessing this taking place from a place closeby. He became anxious once he saw that his battle pet had been intimidated to a degree that it had forgotten how to use defense skills. He urged his pet to do something through the communication bond of the contract.

Boom!!

The Blazing Turtle suddenly retracted its limbs the moment the Starburst Dragon stomped on its body; there was a gray hue over its shell, etched with strange lines.

However, that gray hue was immediately disrupted. The ground caved in and a heavy wind sprung into motion. There was a pit dozens of meters deep after the gust of wind moved past them and the dust settled. The Blazing Turtle was lying on its stomach inside the pit. Its four limbs were dangling outside its shell, and there was a hole in the chest section. The edge of the hole was melted and blood was oozing out. The turtle was barely breathing.

The legendary battle pet warriors were stunned.

That Blazing Turtle was the strongest in defense among all their battle pets, but it wasn’t even able to withstand a blow from the Starburst Dragon!

“Sh*t!!” the master of the Blazing Turtle swore. His eyes reddened, knowing that the strike was fatal. Most of the Blazing Turtle’s internal organs had been melted and its three hearts were torn. The Blazing Turtle would be declared dead unless a top healer showed up and took care of the Blazing Turtle right away!

“So, this is what a Void State dragon can do. I cannot believe this!”

“There’s nothing we can do. shit!”

The other four legendary battle pet warriors turned pale. Their own pets would have already died if they were in the turtle’s place.

The Starburst Dragon looked up with a cold and violent gaze at the legendary battle pet warriors. But then, something distracted the dragon when it was about to strike them.

Bang!

The dragon saw the golden image of a fist coming toward it across space.

The Starburst Dragon narrowed its eyes. Roaring, it waved its paws toward the incoming fist.

There came a loud noise. The flames on the dragon’s claw were dispersed and the beast stepped back, making the ground shake. The golden fist image vanished after making contact.

A man emerged from the void during that moment of silence. He stood in front of the legendary battle pet warriors.

“Teleporting across such a distance?”

The legendary battle pet warriors were surprised by the sudden appearance of the Void State young warrior.

Two of the legendary battle pet warriors who thought the man looked familiar widened their eyes in astonishment.

It’s him!

The freak who had killed a legendary battle pet warrior at the Void State with one punch!

The Starburst Dragon pierced Su Ping with its furious and doubtful looks.

The dragon’s claw was trembling.

It knew perfectly well how intimidating that punch had been. “You are the only ones here?” said Su Ping. The legendary battle pet warriors were startled to see him act so calm and composed in front of that dragon. What if the dragon snuck up on him? He could end up getting wounded.

“Sir, the dragon is quite scary. We can work with you,” the team leader said.

All those battle pet warriors were at the Ocean State rank, but the leader surpassed the others since he was at the peak of the rank.

Scary?

Su Ping turned around and looked at the Starburst Dragon that was glaring at him. He chuckled.

The dragon was indeed at the Void State but its combat strength was limited; it could not fight with those of a higher rank. The dragon’s potential was not much to speak of.

“Enough of that glare. Time to die,” Su Ping announced calmly.

He lifted his hand and put his fingers together like a sword.

A wisp of darkness came into being at the tip of his fingers, then he made a forward motion.

That seemed to be quite the ordinary gesture, and there was no trace of energy behind it. But if one were to look carefully, Su Ping’s fingertips were actually cracking space open.

The Starburst Dragon was about to strike when it suddenly narrowed its eyes. The next second, before being able to do anything, the dragon’s head moved. It fell.

The cut on its neck was quite neat. Blood gushed out from the cut as the head fell. Only a small portion of blood had sprung out at first; then, as if some hindrance had been removed, blood began to pour out.

Bang!

The dragon’s body collapsed on the ground, stirring up dust clouds.

Silence prevailed.

The legendary battle pet warriors opened their eyes so wide that their eyes almost popped out.

That was beyond any reason and logic!

That terrifying Void State dragon died, just like that?!

Death came so quietly and there was no struggle involved; they didn’t even get to see how Su Ping had done it.

What did just happen?

Two of the five legendary battle pet warriors had seen Su Ping while in the Tower and knew he had killed a legendary battle pet warrior of the same rank. And yet, they were still at a loss for words after witnessing that weird and frightening event. “This dragon should have had a better potential.”

Su Ping shook his head as he looked down at the dragon corpse. Without looking back, he said to the legendary battle pet warriors standing behind him, “Go and help out in the other places. I’ll take care of the beast kings here.”

Huh?

The legendary battle pet warriors were still processing the meaning of Su Ping’s remarks.

The next thing they saw was how Su Ping had teleported again, appearing right at the center of the beast kings’ group.

Clang! Clang!

Not all the beast kings were as vulnerable. They unleashed many long-range skills after detecting Su Ping’s approach.

Even a beast king would have been skinned alive by that many blasts of energy and explosions.

However, Su Ping managed to keep teleporting. Just like a ghost able to appear and disappear mysteriously, Su Ping hopped around the field as it dealt with the beast kings. He would punch one beast king to death and stomp another with the same outcome.

Su Ping was like a wolf in the midst of a flock of sheep; he was finishing the beast kings in a flash!

That was not a battle for him. It was a game!

The legendary battle pet warriors were dumbstruck.

Is this a legendary battle pet warrior at the Void State?

No, he should be at the Fate State!

However, those in the Tower who had a Void State rank were usually in management positions. It was said that… only the Master and a mysterious old man living in seclusion inside the Tower were at the Fate State rank.

Is Su Ping that man living in seclusion?

The two legendary warriors who had seen Su Ping at the Tower knew that Su Ping was not at the Fate State. The two understood why the Tower did not hold Su Ping accountable after seeing how Su Ping was killing the beast kings. Not even the Tower Master had intervened; he had most surely learned from many sources that the young man was out of the ordinary and decided not to provoke such a violent man.

The massacring of beast kings attracted the attention of the people in other areas.

Some war correspondents shifted their attention to the beast kings. Everyone received a nasty shock when they saw how the beast kings were dying at an alarming rate. The human side was at a disadvantage moments before, but then the tables were turned!

Who was the legendary battle pet warrior killing the beast kings nonstop?

Some war correspondents zoomed in with their cameras while trying to capture the legendary battle pet warrior’s face, but Su Ping’s movements were so fast it made this impossible.

Still, there were times when the man would stop occasionally. Some war correspondents had been able to get a close-up shot.

It was an aloof young man with dark hair and dark eyes.

That close-up shot would be kept forever. If humans did have a chance at keeping a future for themselves, those close-up shots would surely be included in textbooks.

After all, a disaster of such magnitude would certainly earn a place in history.

“The beast kings are being routed!!”

“Oh my supreme-ruler, I see eight, no, nine dead beast kings!!” “Look at him go! He’s insane!”

“Who’s that legendary battle pet warrior? He’s killing those beast kings as if mowing the lawn. This is what a legendary battle pet warrior should be like!”

The battle pet warriors gazed at the area where the beast kings were gathered. Despair was finally leaving their hearts. Inspired by what they saw, the battle pet warriors clenched their fists in excitement.
