n“Also! I can’t believe that you’re complaining about my sneak attack! You’ve colluded with the court for so many years, seized the Holy City by force, and even attacked a student in broad daylight! Tell me, which one of us is the more shameless one!” Hobrick howled.

n“Hahahaha! That’s the difference between me and you ants! The rules are made by the strong! You ants are forced to obey our whims and offer everything you have!”

nAs soon as he finished speaking, the Thunder Beast’s eyes shone with a silver light! The electric currents around its body became even more agitated!

n“That’s why… I’ve held onto my ideals and changed the city for the better! Sooner or later, I will annihilate all of you useless ants!”

nHobrick was furious, and he summoned his third Battle Beast onto the scene!

nA plant elemental levitated in the air.

n“You will always be a child. All you’re good at is playing with mud and wooden blocks. When will you finally grow up and use proper Battle Beasts!?” Old Man White questioned.

nAlthough there was mockery in Old Man White’s words, there was a tinge of respect as well.

nHobrick was an elemental genius chosen by the heavens. When it came to utilizing elemental Battle Beasts, Old Man White had never met anyone stronger than Hobrick!

nMore amazingly, every Beast Egg that Hobrick hatched had always ended up being an elemental!

nHobrick’s unusual luck had also earned him a nickname. Within the walls of the Holy City, Hobrick was also known as the Elemental Maestro!

nWhile Old Man White was taking a trip down memory lane, Hobrick was busy chanting.

nVery quickly, a boundary of green light surrounded Old Man White and his Thunder Beast!

nHowever, Old Man White did not attempt to flee!

n“The Trio’s Mad Dance”

nHobbrick shouted!

nThe water elemental struck first, and it created a barrier of water around the boundary!

nThe barrier was ten-meters tall, and it was a dome-shaped structure!

nOld Man White and his beast were like fishes sealed in a fish bowl!

nThe ground within the green circle began to tremble slightly, and countless vines that were as fierce as pythons drilled out from the ground!

nAt the same time, both Old Man White and his Thunder Beast were chained down by stone cuffs!

nAfter swaying for a while, the vines lashed out towards the Old White’s head!

nHowever, Old Man White was not the type to resign himself to fate. After issuing a telepathic message, the Thunder Beast’s body was instantly enveloped in lightning!

n“Quaking Thunder!”

nThe Thunder Beast discharged dense bolts of lightning towards the lashing vines!

nWhile their Battle Beasts were going head-to-head against one another, Old Man White commented, “A combined skill between three beasts? Interesting… you’ve improved. However, it’s all in vain!”

nThe lightning that the Thunder Beast discharged intensified, and it began to gain the upper hand against the vines!

n“Roar… !”

nBefore long, the vines had been reduced to cinders!

nThe “prison” that was created by the water elemental was also beginning to crumble under the strength of the Thunder Beast!

n“Splash…”

nThe waves of water curtains had already dissipated. The combined skill that Hobrick had painstakingly researched was neutralized by the Thunder Beast in a single move!

n“Hahaha… I know that you’ve always wanted to know the secret of the White family’s Beast Fusion. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to learn about it within this lifetime! Though, kudos to you for thinking up this combined skill…”

nThose words had struck Hobrick’s sore spot!

nThe Beast Fusion was a skill that most Beastmasters coveted!

nOnce fused, the Battle Beasts would become much stronger, and their fusion ability would possess terrifying firepower!

nTo this end, Hobrick spent much of his life trying to figure out the secrets of the Beast Fusion!

nHowever, even after many years of research, he did not make much progress.

nAll he had to show for his research was the combined skill he showed earlier.

n“Hehe… Did you think that that was all I had?” Hobrick did not despair over his failed move. On the contrary, he was glad that he had gained a grasp of his old friend’s strength.

nHobrick’s water elemental began to flash, and the water droplets surrounding the area congregated into sharp daggers that propelled forward!

n“Can you just give up? This kind of move is useless against my Thunder Beast!”

nThe Thunder Beast activated Quaking Thunder once more and destroyed the water daggers!

nHowever, the moment the water droplets fell onto the ground, they transformed once more!

nAn instant later, they had turned into weapon-wielding ice warriors!

n“What?” Old Man White was surprised!

nAlthough the warriors were not all that powerful, Old Man White was surprised as this was Hobrick’s fourth elemental beast!

nIt was an ice elemental!

n“You b*stard! Just how many Battle Beasts can you control?”

nOld Man White’s reaction was to be expected. After all, any Beastmaster that was able to control two Battle Beasts was considered to be talented!

nThose who could control three were considered geniuses!

nHowever, the old man before him was able to control four!

nEven though Old Man White had experienced much in his lifetime, this was the first time he had faced an opponent who could control four beasts!

n“Frenzied Waves!”

nObeying its master’s command, the water elemental gathered all the water from the streams surrounding the valley and sent a gargantuan wave towards Old Man White’s direction!

nHis intuition honed from many years of combat had told him that the ice warriors were merely a diversion!

nThe skill that the water elemental used was the real threat!

nBoom!

nOld Man White ordered his Thunder Beast to shield him with its massive body!

nNevertheless, the powerful rush of water had flushed them down the valley!

n“Ack…” Old Man White vomited a mouthful of blood!

nHobrick seized the opportunity to attack.

nA mud warrior wielding a rocket launcher1 popped out from the soil and fired off a missile!

nBoom!!

nThe valley quaked, but there was no indication that Old Man White was hit!

nVisibility was low, and Hobrick was on high alert.

nAfter all, he knew how tough Old White was!

nSure enough, two minutes later, three figures rose from the dust!

nAside from the Thunder Beast, Old Man White had another Battle Beast standing beside him!

n“Roar!!”

nThe second Battle Beast roared savagely as well, but it could not be any more different from the Thunder Beast’s roar!

nTo be specific, it sounded much more domineering!

n“I didn’t think that I would need it, but it seems that I’ve underestimated you…” Old Man White wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

nThere were only a few strips of cloth left on his upper body. His luxury clothes had been burned away by the missile earlier.

nAfter tearing his remaining clothes off, Old Man White revealed a toned body that did not quite match his age.

nMeanwhile, the appearance of his second Battle Beast gradually became clearer.

n“Meet my Nether Lion!”

nA lion with crimson fur strode forward!

n“Come on! Feel the wrath of Hell’s flames!” The confidence on Old White’s face grew even more!

nBeads of sweat appeared on Hobrick’s forehead. However, it was not due to the intense flames of the Nether Lion!

nHobrick perspired because he realized that the Nether Lion was even stronger than the Thunder Beast!
