n“Rest assured, you are the first outsider who has ever laid eyes on this fusion form. Alas, it is also a pity! After all, its appearance also signifies that you will meet your end soon…”

nOld Man White was not saying those words out of arrogance. After all, their circumstances were greatly in his favor!

nSoon, a fusion beast covered in lightning and flames, and red and silver stripes appeared!

nIts most attention-drawing feature was its tail, whose tip was shaped like an arrow.

n“Whoosh..”

nEvery movement of its tail had produced powerful gusts of wind.

n“Trap it!”

nHobrick’s sweat rolled down like a waterfall. He was well aware that his opponent had become much stronger than before!

nIn such a life-or-death or situation, Hobrick knew that he needed to strike first!

nFollowing its master’s order, the earth elemental caused the ground underneath the fusion beast to cave in!

nThe process had occurred within a blink of an eye, and once contained, the earth elemental unleashed powerful earth shocks at the fusion beast.

nThe fusion beast did not manage to escape in time. As a result, its limbs were restrained by the stone shackles that shot out from the ground!

n“Old b*stard! Have you finally decided to give it your all?” Old Man White noticed Hobrick’s steely gaze, and he realized that Hobrick had already accepted that he would not survive the duel.

nHe shouted, “Fusion beast! Break free from the shackles!”

nRealizing that applying brute strength had only tightened the shackles around it, the fusion beast decided to use its elemental powers instead! It discharged flame-coated thunderbolts at the earth elemental in an attempt to destroy it!

nHowever, Hobrick did not sit idly by during this period!

nHe positioned his remaining elementals at a perfect angle to attack!

n“Water Peak Bash! Wooden Blade! Ice Slash!”

nAll three elementals unleashed their strongest move simultaneously!1

nThe earth elemental was heavily wounded, but Hobrick refused to back down!

n“Swamp Prison!”

nThe earth elementals had used its strongest move as well!

nTons upon tons of soil began to pile upon the fusion beast.

nWithin just a few seconds, the earth elemental had successfully wrapped the fusion beast in earth. However, it did not stop there, and it continued to pile soil upon the fusion beast until a huge ball of mud was created!

nThe fusion beast struggled non-stop, but each of its actions had only solidified the ball even further!

nThe moment the earth elemental succeeded, the attacks of the other three elementals reached their climax!

n“Kaboom! ! !”

nThe valley was suddenly filled with by green and blue radiance!

nHobrick’s attack had landed!

nThe powerful attack had caused rocks to fly everywhere, and a crater had been formed due to the impact!

nHobrick’s legs buckled as he heaved a sigh of relief.

nThe attack was a combination skill that he had practiced on for many years. Alas, the attack would have been much stronger had his fire elemental still been alive!

nAfter taking two deep breaths, Hobrick realized that the fusion beast did not reappear.

n“Perhaps, my attack succeeded…” Hobrick’s vision was blurry due to exhaustion.

nHe also sensed that the earth elemental had perished. It had used up the last of its strength to unleash the skill earlier.

nHowever, when Hobrick turned to look at Old Man White, cold sweat broke out on his body!

nOld White was laughing!

n“Old b*stard, while this move of yours is indeed powerful, it is still no match for my fusion beast!”

nA flash of light appeared from within the pit!

nA furious roar then followed!

nThe fusion beast then leaped out of the pit in all its regal glory!

n“What?!” Although Hobrick still had ample mana, the same could not be said of his body. Blood was already trickling down from the corner of his mouth!

nThe fusion beast was not unscathed, in fact, it had suffered heavy damage from Hobrick’s attack!

n“Sizzle… sizzle… Sizzle…”

nHowever, the blood that flowed out of its wounds was instantly evaporated by the high temperature of its flames!

nThe strange scene had made Hobrick sink into despair!

nHis tired and wounded body refused to move, and when he turned to look at Old Man White, he realized that the latter was slowly making his way towards him!

n“Have you made your final prayers…”The corners of Old Man White’s mouth curled up into a smile. He had finally gotten rid of the disgusting boulder that stood in his way all for many years!

nIn his eyes, the current Hobrick was nothing more than a dying animal!

nAlthough Hobrick did not issue any orders to his Battle Beasts, the remaining elementals voluntarily guarded their master with their bodies!

nOld Man White spat at disgust at the heart-warming scene before him. “End him!”

n“Roar! !”

nThe fusion beast dashed forward with an enraged expression! It was ready to tear Hobrick into pieces!

n“Locke… I’ll leave the future of the Holy City to you…” Knowing that he could do nothing to change his circumstances, Hobrick slowly closed his eyes and resigned himself to fate…

nBoom! !

nA loud explosion rocked the scene, but Hobrick felt no pain at all. Instead, all he felt was a gentle breeze.

nOld Man White’s face twitched once he saw how his fusion beast was flung into the air. When he turned to look at the culprit, he was greeted by the sight of a young man!

n“Who are you? A student of the Federal Academy?” Old Man White had never seen Locke before. Moreover, he had also assumed that his sons had emerged victorious in the duel back in the city. As such, the possibility of Locke standing before him did not even cross his mind!

n“Principal, it’s fortunate that no one is willing to come to this darned place. Otherwise, your dignity would have plummeted…” Although Locke’s words were harsh, Locke still lifted Hobrick to safe spot and placed him down gently.

nThe fusion beast was caught completely off guard by Locke’s attack. It was in so much pain that it roared and rolled around non-stop.

n“So I take it that you’ve already taken care of the duel in the city? Cough…” Hobrick was very happy to find that Locke was safe and sound.

n“Locke, White’s strength is extraordinary. Don’t force yourself to beat him. If you can’t beat him, just retreat…” Hobrick did not mind Locke leaving him behind. After all, if Locke were to lose his life, no one would be able to stop Old Man White from ruling over the Holy City in the future.

nMoreover, Hobrick doubted that Locke was able to defeat Old Man White.

nAlthough Locke had owned one more rose gold Battle Beast than Old Man White, the power of the fusion beast was not to be underestimated.

n“Why are you in such a hurry to leave? It would be a waste of my sneak attack earlier! Don’t worry, old man, I can deal with him easily…” Locke revealed his pearly whites. He was very proud of his sneak attack just now!

nHobrick also chuckled. Locke’s way of fighting reminded him of his own. It was shameless!

n“I’m guessing that Instructor Tristan is making his way here. You should rest for a while!” Without waiting for Hobrick’s response, Locke then marched towards Old Man White’s.

n“Who exactly are you?”

n“I’ve just finished my duel in the city. Who do you think I am?” Locke responded with a smug grin.
