Chapter 1038: Disappointment!
The projection above the area changed as the battles for the fifth round were announced.
The first battle was between numbers 1 and 4, and they were Fred and Riddley.
The next moment, a white light covered Fidel and Riddley, and not long after, they appeared in the arena.
Fidel grinned when he saw his opponent, as he had been waiting for this. Riddley's face was expressionless when she saw her husband's grin.
The next moment, they summoned their respective beasts. Soon after, the Shadow Hunter and the Shadow Wyrm King appeared by their owners' sides.
The Shadow Hunter grinned when it saw its opponent. The Shadow King Wyrm was about to roar at its opponent like usual, but its voice got stuck when it saw the opponent.
Inside the store, the details of the two beasts appeared on the screen one after another.
Ding!
The bell rang, announcing the start of the battle for the final.
The Shadow Hunter suddenly disappeared from its spot while the Shadow King Wyrm fluttered its wings and took flight.
In no time, it was hundreds of meters above the ground. There was a drop of sweat on the area above its left eye as it had sensed extreme danger at the moment of flight.
Tsk!
The Shadow Hunter clicked its teeth, frustrated with itself for missing the attack by an inch.
The Shadow Hunter could also fly due to the skill Shadow Flight, but it was no match for the Shadow King Wyrm when it came to fighting mid-air as its superiority in aerial battle was proven.
It was also the reason behind the Shadow King Wyrm, increasing the gap between it and the ground by a mile in no time.
It then opened its mouth and released the skill Shadow Breath, learned by it in the last battle in the fourth round.
The next moment, a beam of destructive shadow energy came racing toward the Shadow Hunter, trying to destroy it. The hunter raised its claws like hands and swiped at the beam.
The next moment, even the energy beam got cut into three lines like a hot knife passing through the butter.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three rounds of explosions rang out in the area as parts of the beam exploded. The Shadow Hunter was too quick to get entangled with the shockwaves, so its movement was calm.
The Shadow Hunter then suddenly opened its mouth and roared, terrifying the hearts of the people in the crowd. Even the air seemed to feel the pressure as it turned heavy, trying to knock down the Shadow King Wyrm.
The Shadow Hunter learned this skill during the last month of training with Fidel, and it was called the Roar of Domination.
The Shadow King Wyrm was aware of the skill since they usually trained at the same spot, and their owners didn't hide these things from each other. Only when it came to battle or topics related to it were the husband and wife competitive, but at other times, it was a cringe sight for the beasts and Fred to see.
The Shadow King Wyrm had tried to bully the Shadow Hunter, using the superior strength of its master, so the relationship between the two wasn't that compatible.
Time flew by, and a few minutes had passed since the battle began.
The grin on Fidel's face disappeared, and a frustrated expression took its place as the Shadow Hunter had yet to win over its opponent.
When the Shadow Hunter saw the same amount of disappointment in Fidel's eyes as it felt when Fidel was getting beaten by Riddley, its veins popped out.
'I am dominating my opponent; you lost the battle in only a few strikes,' The hunter screamed out in its heart, but since there was no time to concentrate on other things, it stopped thinking about it.
It also found its efforts not worth its strength, as it had given itself only three minutes to defeat the Shadow King Wyrm. But here more than three minutes had already passed, and the battle's end was nowhere in sight.
Riddley smiled upon seeing Fidel standing there in frustration. Before the battle, Fidel had bragged to her about how the Shadow Hunter had a characteristic while the Shadow King Wyrm didn't.
"Let's end this! We won't get to hear the end of it if this battle proceeds further," Fidel said to the Shadow Hunter.
The Shadow Hunter nodded, since only by handsomely defeating the Shadow King Wyrm could it tame down its arrogance.
The next moment, it disappeared from the Shadow King Wyrm's view after activati9ng its characteristics. It then activated the skill Shadow Eye.
The next moment, the weakness of the Shadow King Wyrm appeared in its sight. It then activated the skill, Shadow Flight.
The Shadow King Wyrm felt a palpitation in its heart, so it fluttered its wings one more time, and directly five hundred meters.
The palpitations still didn't disappear, so they continued flying. Only after reaching a distance of thirty-five miles from the ground did that danger disappear.
The Shadow King Wyrm was about to look down with a hint of ridicule in its eyes when the sense of danger returned.
Its flight continued, and it crossed a distance of fifty meters from the ground. The Shadow King Wyrm finally struggled. Even though it was a powerful beast, its cultivation wasn't enough to stay under this pressure for long.
(A/N: I know, the higher the aptitude, the less the pressure due to a decrease in air mass, but the environment in the competition is the opposite to stop flying beasts from reaching an extremely high distance and providing an undue advantage.)
The condition of the Shadow Hunter was even more terrible, as its physique wasn't equal to that of the Shadow King Wyrm when it came to handling the air pressure.
Since it was the only way to defeat the opponent's turtle attitude, the Shadow Hunter was willing to bear the pain.
The next moment, it activated the Shadow Curse. The wyrm suddenly felt a new force in its body trying to weaken it.
Time flew by, and the wyrm finally lost the battle as its wing's strength failed to maintain this height in the air.
Boom!
The wyrm crashed to the ground, with the Shadow Hunter following behind.
