Chapter 451: Chapter 447: Four Poles Sword Formation

With the shattering of Alpha’s two Mirror Images, the Sword of the Wind Chaser and the Sword of Retributive Karma fell from the sky.

But halfway down, the two long swords, seemingly summoned by something, howled as they flew into mid-air.

Looking at Alpha standing in mid-air, the Fire Mage Tiger suddenly saw the fire man from before and it said, “Your way of battling is quite different from most undead I know, but if that’s all you’ve got, you still wouldn’t be able to enter the sixth layer.”

Crackle.

(I know.)

Alpha nodded, took the Sword of Death into his hand, while the Sword of the Wind Chaser and the Sword of Retributive Karma hovered and danced around him slowly.

Then, Alpha swung his long sword, and the Sword of the Wind Chaser and Sword of Retributive Karma shot off like arrows from different directions towards the Fire Mage Tiger.

The Fire Mage Tiger possessed a reflective ability that returned the attack to the attacker. If that was the case, he could directly use Sword Control.

Seeing that Alpha was actually using this method to fight, the Fire Mage Tiger smirked, not bothered in the slightest.

If breaking his damage reflection was so simple, he would have been defeated by ranged attackers long ago.

Sure enough, the Sword of Retributive Karma and the Sword of the Wind Chaser ricocheted off upon striking the Fire Mage Tiger and were actually directed at Alpha.

But as the first undead to undergo Rune Evolution, the battle rune system on Alpha had been enhanced multiple times, especially his Sword Control, which was no exception.

Just as the double swords were about to strike Alpha, they abruptly halted in the air before spiraling toward the Fire Mage Tiger once again. Regardless of how the Fire Mage Tiger retaliated, the double swords steadily encircled him for the attack.

Moreover, the double swords gradually began to stimulate damage on the Fire Mage Tiger.

Seeing this, Alpha took advantage of the opportunity, and brandishing the Death Long Sword, he lunged forward, obviously not planning to allow the Fire Mage Tiger to capitalize on his size advantage.

Sensing the Power of Death, the Fire Mage Tiger’s previously unperturbed face finally changed. Its enormous body sidestepped the Sword of Death awkwardly, while its claws slammed into the ground, causing it to shatter. The scorching hot fragments shot towards Alpha like cannonballs.

These fragments were fast and dense, leaving no room for Alpha to dodge. Alpha immediately made the decision to abandon futile movements, advancing while precisely smashing the fragments that were about to hit him with his sword.

This, however, played into the Fire Mage Tiger’s hands.

Just as Alpha broke into the group of fragments, numerous meteors suddenly appeared in the sky above, hurtling toward Alpha’s location with world-ending force.

Transcendent Skill, Meteor Rain.

“He’s really going all out.”

The sight made Bai Qiucha’s mouth gape. Among Fire attribute skills, Meteor Rain definitely ranked in the top three.

This skill was famous for its destructive power and wide coverage, typically used to devastate the battlefield in large-scale battles.

Now, the Fire Mage Tiger was using it against Alpha alone — it clearly had no intention of letting Alpha escape.

It was a colossal overkill.

Expectedly, the addition of the Meteor Rain dramatically increased the pressure on Alpha. Unable to dodge in time, he was struck by a single meteor and shattered.

It was still a Mirror Image.

Seeing that his target was still just a Mirror Image, the Fire Mage Tiger laughed rather than feel angry. He once again expanded the range of Meteor Rain, covering dozens of meters around him.

Faced with the Fire Mage Tiger’s all-encompassing attack, Alpha relied on his exceptional speed and Dark Reflection to dodge skillfully among the plethora of meteors. Regardless of the frightening power of Meteor Rain, it was entirely unable to hit Alpha’s actual body.

Rather, it was the Fire Mage Tiger himself who sustained significant damage from Alpha’s unpredictable Sword of Death.

“Looks like there’s still hope?”

Seeing this, Bai Qiucha’s eyes lit up as if he saw a glimmer of hope.

“No, the Fire Mage Tiger hasn’t unleashed its six-stage Emperor-level battle power yet.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi shook his head. While currently, all of the skills the Fire Mage Tiger employed were strong, they were still somewhat lacking compared to its proclaimed Six Stage Emperor Level prowess.

He remembered how, when facing the fourth layer’s Guardian, the Nightmare Death Disciple, the Six Pets had been utterly suppressed mentally.

Of course, now Alpha had also leveled up to the sixth stage, and the situation was significantly different from before.

However, the Emperor-level exclusive ability, the Domain, had yet to appear.

Finally, the Fire Mage Tiger seemed to give up on defeating Alpha with Meteor Rain and voluntarily withdrew the skill, exposing himself directly in front of Alpha.

Then, faced with this great opportunity for attack, Alpha retreated instead of advancing. He waved the Sword of Death, and the Death Sword Qi and Death Dragon simultaneously shot out, attacking the Fire Mage Tiger.

“Strong battle intuition, but not enough!”

The Fire Mage Tiger smiled. The heavy rock armor on its body suddenly changed. Sharp rock spikes grew out of its joints, and heart-palpitating dark red flames flickered in the gaps of its rock armor.

It was called a “Mage” Tiger precisely because of its berserk style of fighting.

Just as Alpha was retreating, the Fire Mage Tiger suddenly displayed unprecedented agility. It swatted away the Death Sword Qi and the Death Dragon with one paw and instantly appeared in front of Alpha. Its eyes, which were burning with dark red flames, stared at Alpha as if preparing for a hunt.

Seeing this, Alpha instinctively attempted to block with his sword but was sent flying away by a swift swipe from the Fire Mage Tiger.

Then, without waiting for Alpha to land, the Fire Mage Tiger once again appeared behind him, one paw deflecting Alpha’s Sword of Death while the other paw rapidly swatted at Alpha.

The Fire Mage Tiger, in its berserk state, displayed significantly enhanced speed and strength. Regardless of Alpha’s defensive efforts, the Fire Mage Tiger was able to forcefully break through and smack Alpha around at will.

From a distance, it looked as though a big cat was batting around a ball of fur.

Finally, the Lava Demon Tiger seemed to grow bored and batted Alpha towards the sky, simultaneously opening its mouth to spew out a dense flame like a volcanic eruption, swallowing Alpha in an instant.

The impact from the flames was so powerful that Alpha could not bear it, and it was directly shattered, falling apart into countless pieces.

“Is Alpha dead?”

Seeing this, Bai Qiucha suddenly tightened up, getting ready to cry out, but found Beta scornfully watching him.

Awoo awoo…

(That pesky bone could never die…)

“Bai Qi, what’s Beta saying?”

“He said, you’re overthinking.”

Bai Qi shrugged, looking at the three long swords helplessly falling to the ground from losing control. Suddenly, he flashed a smirk.

This Alpha, quietly learned runes to this level.

Finally, when the fiery light dissipated, not a trace of Alpha was visible in the sky. However, the Lava Demon Tiger inexplicably felt a sense of danger. A burning energy started to ripple out from its body in every direction.

Domain.

At this moment, bone spears suddenly shot up from the ground, they formed a cage-like square around the Lava Demon Tiger. In the center of four sides of this bone cage were the Swords of Death, Wind Chaser, and Retributive Karma.

Upon seeing this, the Lava Demon Tiger instinctively sensed danger, and it tried to move outside the bone cage’s range. However, the Gravity Sword suddenly dropped from the sky, landing accurately in its predetermined position.

The Lava Demon Tiger was affected by the immense gravity carried by the Gravity Sword, causing it to pause in place and fail to leave the bone cage in time.

Meanwhile, Alpha, who was supposed to be shattered, emerged from the bone cage. It was tightly gripping the Sword of Death, fully deploying the Death Force Field.

Immediately, black power filled the entire bone cage and formed an incredibly complex rune array.

Moreover, the moment the rune array was formed, the Swords of Wind Chaser, Retributive Karma, and Gravity lifted into the air in succession, perfectly melding into the rune array.

The black, red, blue and yellow energies filled the rune array one after the other, even the originally dry array was bursting with colors. This caused the sense of danger in the Lava Demon Tiger to reach its peak.

The whole progress may look complicated, but it was far quicker than the Lava Demon Tiger could anticipate.

At the exact moment when the domain was leaving body, countless sword qi shot out from the Four Long Sword, aiming directly towards the Lava Demon Tiger.

The four-color sword qi had different attributes, but they complemented each other perfectly. As the energies flowed, not only did they show no fatigue, but they grew increasingly ferocious, submerging the Lava Demon Tiger completely in a sea of sword qi.

“Bai Qi, what skill is this? You never used it when we were fighting.”

The bewildered Bai Qiucha said. He had been training with Alpha for over ten days and had never seen Alpha use such a skill. It genuinely affected his self-esteem.

“I’m not sure, it should be a skill that Alpha developed on its own.”

Bai Qi shrugged, while Bai Qiucha shot him a “you think I would believe this” look.

Pets developing skills on their own, this was even more absurd than his Bone Dragon falling in love with a Thunder Rat.

Awoo awoo?

(Why does this human make such a big fuss?)

“One feels that it might be due to lack of exposure.”

Kapakapa.

(Gamma doesn’t think so, this is indeed extraordinary.)

Looploop.

(Maybe there’s some bitterness there.)

Hullhull?

(Bitterness? I don’t understand.)

“Alright, alright, pets don’t need to develop their skills. All of you, why are you flaunting.”

Listening to the debate of the five pets, Bai Qi couldn’t help but retort.

If he was as casual as Bai Qiucha and only needed to remember his password, he too would be this lax. As for developing skills independently,

Such things could not be forced. As a Beast Master, they had to adapt. Who can blame, he just was such a person.

Rubbing off on each other, rubbing off on each other.

On the other hand, the Four Poles Sword Formation seemed endless, giving the Lava Demon Tiger no chance to breathe. Even Alpha’s condition gradually improved, as he was slightly modifying the rune on the Four Poles Sword Formation.

Having learned runes with Bai Qi for this long, Alpha didn’t have any significant achievements like the other pets, but its foundation was extremely solid.

After being specially trained by Bai Heguang, it began attempting to incorporate runes into its battle system.

Now, it finally achieved the feat of truly integrating the runes with the Four Swords.

Four Poles Sword Formation!
