Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties - Chapter 218

Chapter 218: Golden Dragon vs. Silver Panther

Astorius clenched his fists in rage as he knew that he was the only fighter left on the empire side.

Without hesitation, he went straight toward the battlefield from his command post. His presence alone sent shivers through his own troops. They had never seen the king this angry before.

Astorius stood at the center of the arena and locked his eyes onto Lucius with pure hatred. He then pointed his finger at Lucius. “Come here, you bastard! I’ll make sure you pay for your crimes!”

Lucius, who was still sitting on his sofa comfortably, let out a chuckle as he placed his teacup down.

He then tilted his head and smirked. “Crimes? What crime exactly have I committed, dear Astorius?”

He stretched lazily and continued, “All I did was take out the trash. And maybe burn a few worthless scraps along the way.”

Astorius immediately retorted in rage. “Enough of your bullshit! Stop hiding behind your words and face me, you coward!”

Lucius sighed dramatically, shaking his head. “Alright, alright, no need to yell. Geez.”

Luicus stored his sofa and tea set back into his spatial ring. Then, he began to walk toward the arena where Astorius was already waiting.

Lucius glanced at Astorius and smirked. “Let me just say, King Astorius. It must be an honor for you to stand against me, right?”

Astorius’ frown deepened as he gritted his teeth in anger. “Enough of your arrogance, you bastard!”

Without hesitation, he fused with his beast, the 7-Star Golden Dragon. Massive golden scales rapidly coated his body.

His head was reshaped into the form of a majestic golden dragon head. Two huge golden dragon wings also sprouted from his back.

His arms and legs thickened, transforming into powerful golden dragon limbs that had razor-sharp claws at the tips of his fingers.

With his transformation complete, Astorius stood tall and glanced toward Lucius before roaring, “I WILL MAKE SURE YOU DIE, LUCIUS! YOU WILL REGRET EVER MOCKING ME!”

Lucius, however, remained unfazed. He simply chuckled as he faced the overwhelming pressure Astorius exuded. Instead, he looked up and smirked. “Nighttime, huh?”

He then raised his hand and summoned his beast. “This is the perfect battlefield for us.”

A black portal appeared beside him. From within the portal, a figure emerged. Loxen, the massive panther, who had silver fur and a shadow element.

Lucius only smirked as he glanced at Loxen. He immediately called Loxen to come to him. “Let’s fuse, Loxen and beat this bastard once and for all.”

Loxen jumped toward Lucius and their fusion began. His arms stretched and thickened, his fingers elongating into deadly silver claws.

His body became sleek and agile, coated in dark silver fur, the aura of a true predator radiating from him under the moonlight.

His ears sharpened, his eyes slit like a panther’s, and his legs adjusted, built for explosive speed and silent killing.

As his fusion completed, Lucius stood tall. He was now a Silver Shadow Panther Beastman.

He flexed his claws as he grinned at the transformed Astorius. “So… a Golden Dragon versus a Silver Panther under the moonlight?”

Lucius then smirked as he licked his lips in excitement. “This is going to be hella fun.”

—

Astorius roared as he launched himself forward. His golden claws pulsed with golden energy.

The energy then fused, forming a massive spectral dragon claw that extended from his own.

Astorius glared at Lucius and swung his massive right claw down in anger. “Golden Gigant Dragon Claw!”

The golden claw came crashing down. The moment it descended, the battlefield was shaking, but Lucius only smirked.

At the last second, his body melded into the shadows, vanishing just as the golden claw obliterated the ground beneath it.

A fraction of a second later, Lucius reappeared—standing casually right beside the massive golden claw, completely unharmed.

He clicked his tongue and smirked. “Come on, Astorius, be more serious, will you?”

Astorius was shocked to see Lucius easily dodge one of his strongest attacks.

Lucius casually stretched his neck, rolling his shoulders. “That attack was too simple. Too slow. Too predictable.”

He then smirked as he pointed back at Astorius. “You’re holding back, aren’t you? Or is this all a ‘Golden King’ is capable of?”

Astorius was in rage after hearing it. His wings flared out as he flew up into the sky, hovering high above the battlefield.

He then turned below as he glared down at Lucius in rage. “You arrogant bastard! You dare mock me?!”

Lucius merely smirked as he glanced at him from below. “I’m just stating the obvious.”

Astorius clenched his fist in a claw as it shook with rage. “Then die, you bastard!”

His chest expanded as he inhaled deeply, golden energy surging and condensing inside his massive dragon mouth.

Lucius was intrigued after seeing what Astorius was doing. He just smirked as he sat down. “Finally a proper attack, but still, is it strong?”

Astorius became even more enraged as he heard Lucius’ other words. He threw his head downward and unleashed his attack. “Golden Breath.”

A torrent of pure golden flames erupted from his mouth, engulfing everything below.

The entire arena was drowned in golden fire, obliterating everything in its path.

It was a breath attack capable of reducing cities to ash—an attack worthy of a true dragon emperor.

Astorius hovered in the air, breathing heavily. The attack had used most of his energy.

But he smirked as he saw nothing more than a sea of golden flames below. But… something was off.

Despite the destruction, despite the overwhelming power of the attack, he couldn’t sense Lucius.

But then he smirked as he began to realize it. “Hah… serves you right. You were all talk, Lucius… but no one survives my Golden Breath.”

But just as he was about to turn away, a voice appeared from behind him. “Are you sure about that, King Astorius?”

It immediately made Astorius’ entire body freeze. His golden scales prickled, his instincts screaming danger, but before he could even turn—A silver claw lightly tapped his shoulder. “Boo.”

Astorius turned his body around and was shocked when he saw the one who talked. It was Lucius and he was unharmed.
