Chapter 611: 605: Pass the Certification
However, Holy Entanglement provides a far greater enhancement to pets, especially to Dragon Pets, because the King’s Judgment skill developed by King Trainer Jones originated from Holy Entanglement.
Yes, that’s right, because Holy Entanglement is hard to master and even harder to perfect, the Epic Dragoon Ness Lamb developed a simpler and more accessible skill, King’s Judgment, to allow Dragon Pets to gradually grasp Holy Entanglement through King’s Judgment.
But unfortunately, reality is often brutal!
Dragon Pets that have mastered King’s Judgment at Class VI seem to have hit a dead end, and it’s almost impossible to grasp Holy Entanglement by association, unless they break through to Class VII Overlord, where they might nurture a glimmer of hope.
Later, under the development and testing of numerous researchers, King’s Judgment, unique to Dragon Pets, became a battle skill that all Class VI King pets could master, slightly reducing the inherent advantage and leading position of the Dragon species over other species.
And as the certification officer, Hubert Sander, with his not insignificant authority, naturally knew the formidable nature of Holy Entanglement.
Not to mention, exchanging for King’s Judgment in the Guild’s resource library only requires ten thousand Contribution Points, while exchanging for Holy Entanglement not only requires a hundred thousand Contribution Points but also a recommendation from a Guild department-level leader or above.
Hubert Sander was once a Dragoon full of dreams.
With the idea of either not learning at all or learning only the most powerful skills, he exchanged for the Mystic Arts of Holy Entanglement at great cost with the sponsorship of his family, and then he understood why Epic Dragoon Ness Lamb had developed King’s Judgment.
The difficulty of learning Holy Entanglement was indeed far too high!
The Dragon Pets of non-pureblood Overlord species find it extremely difficult to master, let alone perfect, Holy Entanglement at the Class VI King phase.
But what was he seeing now?
A Class V apex Dragon Pet had actually mastered Holy Entanglement at an Excellent level!
“As expected of the contemporary Rosewood Leader, not only is the Trainer a freak, but even his Pet is an outright anomaly.”
Thinking this, Hubert Sander’s expression darkened.
A matter of reputation was at stake, and he had no desire to become David Jones’ stepping stone, so he gave an order for an eye-for-an-eye.
“Use Furious Sand Assault*King’s Judgment for close combat.”
The furious gravel covered the continuously trembling Dragon Scales of the Rock Scaled Dragon, and the intense heat melted the gravel into a thick armor, but the bursts of pain and power coursing through its body made it let out an excited growl.
As an Earth Dragon species, the Rock Scaled Dragon had tremendous tolerance for pain; hence Hubert Sander developed the Furious Sand Assault and the trembling Dragon Scales, a combination technique with many drawbacks, to enhance the Rock Scaled Dragon’s attack power.
That’s right, the drawback of the Furious Sand Assault*King’s Judgment combination technique is somewhat similar to the Seven Injuries Fist; one must first hurt oneself in order to hurt the enemy, completely fitting the Rock Scaled Dragon’s need to sustain massive damage to unleash a deadly blow.
“Perfectly utilizing a skill’s shortcomings, turning them into the Pet’s strengths, this is the combat of a King Trainer,” Hubert Sander looked expectantly at the Rock Scaled Dragon, now resembling a molten lava beast.
“Interesting.”
Watching the Rock Scaled Dragon’s chest crystal preparing to gather half its Energy, David Jones’s eyes sharpened.
If the opponent chose to accelerate the pace of the fight, he would not opt to retreat.
“Holy Entanglement*Spatial Frostquake.”
“Yi!”
Rainbow’s azure Dragon Eyes opened wide as the vast Power of Heavenly Frost tore through Space, choosing to face the opponent head-on in a collision.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Magma scattered, space wailed; the Rock Scaled Dragon’s lightning-fast speed began to slow under the heavy resistance of the space storm until it was completely immobilized.
However, even now, trapped within the space storm, the eyes of the Rock Scaled Dragon held only the image of Rainbow.
“Woof!” (Scars represent a warrior’s strength!)
With a roar from the Rock Scaled Dragon, its trembling dragon scales revealed dense cracks, and hot dragon blood bubbled and dripped from its open wounds.
Despite severe injuries, the strength and momentum of the Rock Scaled Dragon climed to its apex.
Seeing this, Hubert Sander’s eyes relaxed, “Now’s the time, Dragon Assault*King’s Judgment!”
With full energy charged, the Rock Scaled Dragon’s lethal strike was enough to completely crush all impediments in its way; even an upper-level Class VI Pet would have to temporarily avoid its edge or face a grave injury and downfall.
“Woof!”
The Rock Scaled Dragon’s chest radiated a terrifyingly bright light as an endless sandstorm ravaged the entire Battle Ground.
At this moment, the whole Battle Platform began to crumble and collapse; even the brilliantly shining defensive barrier seemed to falter under the dreadful impact, and this was merely the aftermath of the Dragon Assault*King’s Judgment being unleashed.
“No matter how strong an attack is, it’s meaningless if it doesn’t hit the enemy,” David Jones said with a slight smile.
The Rock Scaled Dragon’s terrifying trait could easily catch a Trainer unaware for a first-time kill, ending a battle instantly with a counterattack from a dire situation, but it was meaningless before David Jones’s Illusion-Piercing Eyes, which saw through everything.
“Eek!” (Can’t block it!)
Rainbow let out a pained cry.
Even with the protection of the Power of Heavenly Frost, the terrifying sand dragon still suppressed Rainbow in an instant, and the dazzling strong light even posed a threat to its life.
“Holy Entanglement*Eternal Frost Annihilation!”
Noticing the fleeting opportunity had finally arrived, David Jones decisively commanded.
“Crackle crackle!”
The terrifying frost collided with the sand, exploding outwards. The Eternal Frost Aura, which could freeze everything, instantly restrained the sandstorm that was congealing space.
Subsequently, Rainbow’s figure vanished from its original position and appeared behind the brilliant light, directly facing the illuminant body of the Rock Scaled Dragon.
At this instant, the decaying strong light illuminated heaven and earth, the roaring infernal Giant Dragon unleashed its fury, and everything on the Battle Platform came clearly into David Jones’s view.
“Concentrating all its power at a single point is indeed the Rock Scaled Dragon’s strongest moment, but it also exposes its greatest weakness; let’s end it this way,” he declared.
“Eek!”
Under the control of the external brain, Rainbow concentrated all of its crystallized Dragon Force in its dragon claws, wrapping them in the pitch-black Overlord’s armor.
Added to this, the terrifying power gathered by Size Adjustment, the erosion and amplification of Frostfall Ashes, and the bursting power of the Emperor’s Heavenly Frost from its bloodline, a colossal dragon claw that obscured the sky with a gentle pat extinguished the world-illuminating strong light, plunging the universe back into the silent darkness of death.
The sense of powerlessness that permeated the darkness made Hubert Sander sincerely feel suffocated.
“The victor, David Jones!”
Looking at the Rock Scaled Dragon, lying in the ravine, unable to move and drenched in blood, Tracy Harvey announced with a blooming smile, completely ignoring the examiner who stood petrified, his expression numb.
