Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties - Chapter 187

Chapter 187: Golden Pride vs. Silver Flames

Karion soon thought of the others. He looked back, but none of them were there. “Where the hell are the others? This was supposed to be a coordinated mission. Why hasn’t anyone else shown up?”

He shook his head and exhaled heavily. He reached into his spatial ring and took out some healing potions. He uncorked them and drank them all.

He then muttered to himself, “I need to heal up. Just a minute… just enough to be ready if things take a turn for the worse.”

The potions weren’t enough to fully restore him, but they were enough to let him move more freely than before. Karion leaned back as he glanced at the battlefield.

He was more focused on Ragnar. “I’ll stay low for now. But if this spirals out of control, I’ll need to find a way to get out of here alive.”

He then clicked his mouth. “No matter what happens, the Empire needs me and the first prince to survive this. The others aren’t as important as we are.”

For now, he was currently watching the battlefield while waiting for the right moment to escape.

Bryson smirked as he coiled his body in preparation for an attack. “Let’s see how strong the strongest 7-Star Tamer in the Empire really is.”

Ragnar smirked as he crouched slightly and scraped the ground with his claws. “Come on then. Show me what the Red Dragon Order leader can do.”

Bryson lunged first. He used his massive tail as a blade to attack Ragnar overhead.

Ragnar sidestepped to dodge it. He also retaliated immediately as he swung his claws in a wide arc.

Bryson raised his claws and slammed them into the ground and summoned a barrier to intercept the attack.

Bryson grinned as he continued his attacks. This time he leapt into the air and attacked from above.

Ragnar growled as he jumped upward to meet Bryson mid-air. “You’re not the only one who can jump.”

Bryson snarled as he whipped his tail toward Ragnar again. “You’re strong, but let’s see how you handle this!”

Not stopping with his tails, Bryson roared as he condensed energy in his claws before sending it to Ragnar and exploding it.

Ragnar raised his claws to shield him from the brunt of the blast. He let out a chuckle and grinned. “Not bad, but it’s my turn now.”

Ragnar raised his claws and summoned a vortex of flame. He roared as he unleashed the torrent of flames that spiraled toward Bryson.

It struck Bryson head-on, shattering some of his scales and sending him crashing to the ground.

Ragnar smirked as he approached Bryson. “What’s the matter? Out of tricks already?”

Bryson growled as he tried to summon the last of his strength. “You… think you’ve won? I’m not done yet!”

But Ragnar was already on the move. He launched himself forward and ignited his claws as he prepared for the final strike. “You’re done.”

Bryson raised his claws and unleashed more of his energy to deflect the attack. He was not done yet.

Anthony stood tall and flexed his golden claws. He glanced at Liora for the last time. “Liora, stop this nonsense. You’re wasting your potential here.”

He gestured to himself. “Join me, and I’ll give you a life worthy of your strength. Be my concubine, and you’ll never have to answer to anyone else.”

Liora stood a few paces away. She tilted her head slightly and her face was laced with disdain. “Still stuck on that? Didn’t I tell you that you’re not worthy of me even if you’re the first prince?”

Anthony clenched his jaw as he growled. “You really dare to look down on me again.”

He gestured to himself again. “I’m the First Prince of the Empire! You should be honored that I’ve chosen you!”

Liora smirked faintly as she flexed her claws. “Honored? I’m quite disgusted by you. And franky, I’m tired of listening to you.”

Her words struck Anthony like a blow. He glanced at Liora and snarled. “Fine! If you won’t join me willingly, I’ll beat you into submission!”

Anthony surged forward with his golden wings. His claws shined as he used his right claw to strike down Liora.

Liora didn’t flinch. She smirked as she leapt to the side. Anthony’s blazing claws sliced through the air where she had just been.

Liora smirked as she mocked him. “Just as expected from you. It was indeed too slow.”

Anthony growled. He spinned on his heel to launch another attack. His claws glowed brighter as he slashed in rapid succession

Each strike created arcs of golden fire that were launched toward Liora, but Liora smirked as she dodged them one by one effortlessly.

Anthony was becoming frustated as his attacks continued to miss their mark. “Why won’t you fight seriously?!”

Liora chuckled softly. “You think I’m not serious? I am. I’m serious about playing with you.”

Anthony let out a growl as he flew into the air. Hovering above, he raised both hands, summoning a massive sphere of golden fire.

He glanced at Liora and hurled it toward her as he shouted in anger. “Wyvern Flame Burst!”

Liora remained clam as she watched the sphere come toward her. Instead of dodging, she began to coat herself in a layer of Silver Flame.

Anthony hovered above and frinned as he watched the explosion of fire and smoke engulf Liora. “You’re a fool! That was my full power! You’ll burn to ash. No one can survive that!”

But as the flames and smoke began to clean, Anthony’s grin faltered. He was shocked when he saw that Liora was not that injured.

Anthony was trembling in disbelief and stammered. “What…? How are you still standing? That was my strongest attack!”

Liora smirked and tilted her head slightly as she brushed a strand of silver hair from her face. “It seems I was right about you. You’re not worthy of me.”

Her smirk was soon replaced with a serious look. “And now, the playtime is over.”

Liora immediately unleashed more of his aura as she crouched slightly. He glanced at Anthony. “It’s time to get serious.”

Anthony still hovered in the air. He was a bit afraid as he stared down at Liora. “What are you…?”

Liora smirked briefly as she glanced at Anthony. “You wanted my attention, right? Well, you’ve got it. Let’s see if you can handle it.”
