Chapter 10: Counterattack in Danger!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Matthew’s eyes searched the area for a good spot to hide.
A moment later, sounds of movement came from the thicket behind.
They were wild beasts!
They served Polar Hound as the king.
Now that the king was hungry, the subordinates would naturally come to offer food!
Matthew could hear the commotion in the distance, and he could sense that there were quite a few wild beasts!
As such, no matter where he hid, he would be discovered!
“Damn it. Heber, I can only trouble you a little more.”
Matthew struggled with his thoughts before finally deciding to awaken Heber.
Many Beast Tamers treated their pets as tools. When they encountered danger, they would not hesitate to order the pets to block in front of them and even abandon them to save themselves.
Yet, Matthew regarded Heber as his companion. If he had other pets, he would not awaken Heber who was sleeping.
In such a dangerous situation, Matthew had no other choice but to wake Heber up and leave.
Improving their strength was important, but their safety was more important.
Matthew poked Heber, who was fast asleep on his left shoulder.
Heber opened its tired red eyes and saw its master’s anxious expression. It knew that they were in a bad situation.
It immediately became alert and quickly raised its head to look around, understanding the danger they were in.
When Heber saw the Polar Hound not far away and the Crimson Dragon Divine Grass behind it, it immediately realized that it might be the target of its attack. It immediately charged forward.
“Don’t be rash, your energy isn’t…”
Matthew tried to stop Heber, but his voice couldn’t keep up with its speed.
Before he could finish his sentence, Heber had already transformed into a giant dragon and let out an earth-shattering roar.
“Roar!”
Heber, only thirty meters tall, looked like a child in front of the hundred-meter-long Polar Hound.
When the Polar Hound saw that a mutated beast had invaded its territory, it had intended to send out a threatening aura to keep the other party away from this area.
However, when it saw that the other was actually a demonic beast, and a divine dragon with a noble status among the mutated beasts at that, its slowly rising aura immediately stopped.
The Polar Hound looked at Heber with fear and complexity. It subconsciously wanted to leave, unwilling to offend such a difficult character.
However, it cast an extremely reluctant glance at the Crimson Dragon Divine Grass behind it, and then cast away the thought of leaving.
How could it be willing to give up the treasure that it had waited so long for?
Even if its opponent was the evil and noble Demon Dragon, it would still fight for it!
Hence, the Polar Hound let out a roar that symbolized its King status, as if declaring to Heber that this was its territory.
“Houuuu!”
Heber couldn’t care less. Since the other party had threatened its master, it had to die!
“Roar!”
An earth-shattering dragon’s roar filled with provocation rang throughout the area!
The sound waves turned into ripples.
When some wild beasts heard this sound, they knew that another powerful mutated beast was confronting their King, so they immediately stopped advancing.
They were here to deliver food to the king, and not to deliver their lives.
However, there were also loyal beasts. They knew that the King was fighting against the enemy, so they quickened their pace, wanting to boost the morale of their King.
It was time to show their loyalty!
On the other side, Heber and the Polar Hound immediately attacked after letting out battle cries.
A powerful aura erupted from both of them, as if two mountains were about to collide.
Boom!
Heber collided with the Polar Hound.
The collision of the two huge creatures created a loud sound.
The airwaves created by their collision destroyed the surrounding trees like a tidal wave.
“Roar!”
Heber activated [Demon Dragon’s Breath] at close range.
The violent dragon breath tore through everything like a hurricane.
At such a close distance, the Polar Hound had no chance of dodging.
It originally wanted to use [Polar Laceration] on Heber after the collision.
As an outstanding predator, it had absolute confidence in its speed.
However, it did not expect that the speed at which it used its skill would be slower than Heber’s.
Thus, the Polar Hound was hit very hard by the dragon breath. It felt unbearable pain like thousands of sharp blades had slashed across its face.
Bang!
The Polar Hound was sent flying and fell heavily a thousand meters away.
At this moment, its face had become distorted, and it was badly mangled. Even its skull was visible.
The vitality of mutated beasts was extremely powerful, so they wouldn’t die immediately even after receiving such fatal injuries.
It was said that some high-level beasts could still survive even if their bodies were reduced to ashes.
After Heber displayed the Demon Dragon’s Breath, its breathing became hurried.
Matthew could tell from the fatigue in its eyes that its body had reached its limit.
After all, Heber had yet to fully recover its stamina. Now that it was forcefully fighting and using its ultimate technique, it put a huge burden on its body.
“Come back, Heber.”
Matthew shouted.
The Crimson Dragon Divine Grass was very important, but he didn’t want to see Heber stake its life.
He had only wanted to wake Heber up so that it could carry him away from this place. He would return after Heber’s stamina recovered.
How could he have expected Heber to go straight up and clash with the Polar Hound?
“Roar!”
Heber turned back and growled.
Although its eyes were full of fatigue, it still persevered.
It would not allow anyone to hurt its master, and its proud bloodline did not bow down to normal mutated beasts.
At this moment, the Polar Hound rose from the ground and glared fiercely at Heber.
Even though its face was extremely sinister right now, and bones could still be seen on its cracked face, it wasn’t that seriously injured.
“It’s standing up again!”
Matthew began to worry at the sight.
Heber’s stamina had reached its limit. If the next strike failed to kill the Polar Hound, they would be in grave danger.
“Houuuu!”
The Polar Hound snarled and attacked Heber again.
It could already tell that the other party was lacking in energy. As long as it could hold on, victory was inevitable.
After guarding the Crimson Dragon Divine Grass and advancing to C-rank, it would be able to recover from any serious injuries.
Moreover, it could boast about its achievement of killing the Dark Demon Dragon for a long time.
Not only would it be able to advance to C-rank, but it would also be able to obtain the highest reputation. How could it retreat in this battle?
[Polar Laceration!]
When the Polar Hound charged at Heber, its front limbs had already grown three-meter-long claws. The sharp claws flashed with a cold and terrifying light.
As long as it could get close, the Dark Demon Dragon would definitely lose!
