Gritting their teeth, the two opponents flew all over the place, their patience running thin as Sera continued to dart around in the air. She was like a mosquito, and the two members of the Black Faction couldn't even hope to catch up to her. To them, everything went according to plan but for some odd reason, Satoshi and Shoyo were beginning to leave them in the dust.

"You're not getting away!" The first opponent screamed as he reached out his hand to try and catch Sera in mid-air. However, Sera dodged his hand by a hair's breadth and he was all the more annoyed.

As for the second opponent, he was trying to corner Sera, but to no avail. No matter how much they tried to capture her, she was simply uncatchable.

When they finally stopped darting around while trying to keep up with Sera's agility and speed, they realized that they'd fallen straight into Satoshi's trap. The colors were drained from their face as they saw Shoyo with his complete Dual Beast Integration.

"What is that..."

"I have no idea."

"Is that even a tamed beast? It looks like a failed science experiment."

"No, it looks like a mix-and-match of corpses of tamed beasts. Wow, who would've thought that a tamed beast could look so gross?

While the two of them conversed under their breaths, they realized that Satoshi still hasn't activated his Dual Beast Integration. They heaved a sigh of relief as they concluded that they still have a chance in defeating Satoshi and Shoyo.

​ Plainly, Satoshi and Shoyo were looking down on them, underestimating them, and that gave them the confidence boost they needed at that very moment.  For now, they decided to ignore Sera and instead, focus on either Satoshi or Shoyo. They were both experts when it comes to Dual Beast Integration. Going against two beast tamers is relatively easy for them, especially when one of the beast tamers was unprepared... just like right now.

Or so that's what they thought.

In a split second, the two beast tamers charged ferociously toward Satoshi and Shoyo. They pretended to aim for the two of them when in fact they were only aiming for Shoyo. From what they could remember (back when the Black Fog Faction came in contact with the White Mist Faction), Shoyo was the weakest of them all. They knew that there was no one in the Black Fog Faction who could rival them when it comes to their Dual Beast Integration.,

That's why, even though Shoyo could activate his Dual Beast Integration, they knew that he wouldn't be able to control it. And they were probably right. Shoyo didn't have enough experience to actually hold his Dual Beas Integration that long.

Well, they overlooked one thing. And that is— Satoshi was on the team with him.

As they charged toward Satoshi and Shoyo, they were beginning to doubt whether they were doing the right thing or not. Some part of them wanted to stop in the middle of their tracks and just turn away but it was too late for them to do so. For some reason, Satoshi just stood there as if everything was going as planned for him. He just stood there menacingly as if the two members of the Black Fog Faction were falling straight into his trap.

Graarrgh!

With a deafening and p indistinct roar, Shoyo swung p his tattered wings toward the two opponents, making them flinch since they didn't know what was going to come next. They almost closed their eyes as they flinched, fortunately, they managed to catch themselves before that happened.

Dark spikes started firing off here and there as if they were bullets fired from an automatic gun. The dark spikes seemed to emit dark energy. And since the two of them had no idea what effects these dark spikes have, they decided to dodge all of them.

To be fair, the dark spikes were just extensions of Shoyo's body. In other words, the dark spikes he shot at them were just hair, and they didn't do anything except wound or graze the skin. Of course, if they were to get hit squarely by it, it would perforate their skin in an instant.

"Are you all right? Shoyo?" Satoshi asked since he had no idea whether Shoyo still has control over himself or not. After all, when it comes to Dual Beast Integration, there's a small chance that the beast tamer would lose control. Satoshi had experienced such a phenomenon a couple of times in the past so he knows how it is. That's why he was worried that Shoyo was going to experience the same thing.

If worse comes to worst, Shoyo might not be able to rein himself in and he might even attack Satoshi when that happens. In that scenario, it wouldn't be a two versus two match anymore. Rather, it would be a three versus one match.

Satoshi was still confident that he'd be able to win against such a matchup though. That's why he didn't stop Shoyo while he kept the two members of the Black Fog Faction at bay. He was doing an exceptional job at it, firing off dark spikes at them while he dodged their attacks.

In the first place, the two opponents couldn't even get near Satoshi and Shoyo. They were too focused on dodging the dark spikes that they were beginning to retreat. Shoyo was really doing his job at keeping his distance from them as well. Satoshi figured that he wouldn't have to step in.

"So what are we going to do now?" The first one asked as he activated his skill and fired off fireballs at Shoyo from his mouth.

"I don't know! We have to get as close as we can! Tsk~ how can one beast tamer be this strong?" The second one clicked his tongue in frustration before he extended his hand outward, firing off a beam toward Shoyo.

Meanwhile, Shoyo was beginning to shake his head as he tried to not lose consciousness. Even with Satoshi and Sera backing him up, he couldn't help but expend more energy than normal. He could tell that he was slipping into unconsciousness. And it wouldn't take long before he lost control.

Graargh!

Another roar came out of Shoyo's mouth. This time, he flapped his wings and flew upward before unleashing a powerful dark beam that swept the entire Grand Stage. Even the shield that enveloped the entire Grand Stage vibrated violently as it almost broke from the powerful attack. The spectators held their breath, crossing their fingers that the barrier would hold on and they won't be hit by the dark beam that Shoyo mercilessly unleashed.

Fortunately, the two members of the Black Fog Faction managed to dodge the dark beam with half an inch to spare. Despite not being hit by the dark beam, they could feel the intense energy swirling within it. That's why they still felt anxious seeing such a powerful beam in front of their eyes.

"We would've died if we got hit by that."

"That would've been bad. Really really really bad."

While they were having a hard time dealing with Shoyo, Satoshi continued to support his teammate. He wanted Shoyo to know his limits and as such, he didn't dare step in despite the fact that he was on the verge of losing control.

The only thing Satoshi did was instruct Sera to continue supporting Shoyo. He didn't buff him in any way or give him some sort of an easy way out. The only thing he instructed Sera to do was help strengthen his hold on his skill activation. That way he could give him a helping hand when it comes to his Dual Beast Integration.

"I guess we have no choice. We have to do this if we are hoping to win against the two of them."

"Are you sure about this?"

With a resolute nod. One of them pulled something out from their sleeves and popped it in their mouth. He did it so quickly that nobody noticed at all... or so that's what he thought. Satoshi actually noticed him do something underhanded.

"A pill? What for?" Satoshi asked himself as the second one also popped a pill in his mouth.
