Chapter 133 Taming A Beast King (Part-2)
<strong>*Ding! Alina replies that she can hear you.</strong>
"Okay, connect me to Alina\'s vision." He said to the system.
Soon, a holographic screen appeared before him. Mark saw a sleeping giant dragon, which is as big as the statue of liberty.
Thinking about the dungeon break, where all the generals of the beast king were the same beasts, he expected it might be a dragon. Of course, the other possibilities weren\'t put away either.
Mark took out the advancement pill and swallowed it.
<strong>*Ding! Select the stat you wish to increase temporarily.</strong>
<strong>*Ding! Your intelligence stat temporarily has been increased by 1.</strong>
<strong>*Ding! You temporarily reached rank-6.</strong>
<strong>*Ding! Your ether points temporarily boosted to 1,000,000</strong>
<strong>*Ding! You temporarily received a new summon, the thunder shark</strong>
<strong>*Ding! You temporarily received a new summon, Ice Leopard</strong>
"Oh, thank goodness. I received a good one from the ice family. A shark will be useless in land battles. But then again, I only need one beast to operate." Mark sighed in relief and drove into the second portal.
What welcomed him is the sight of a giant scorpion. "I guess they were different, after all."
He climbed the ladder and got outside to summon the Ice leopard. But, the moment his head was out, the scorpion sensed the presence and opened its eyes. It made a sound with its pincers and moved its tail in excitement since it\'s been a while it tasted the meat of a human.
"Come out, Ice Leopard." He hurriedly summoned the 6-circle beast and ordered it to take care of the beast. Meanwhile, he got inside the tank and drive towards the left to stay a distance from the two.
*Roar*
Letting out a hoarse and weak roar, the ice leopard, which is about 20 ft big, dashed forward.
The scorpion no longer sensed a human. So, its attention shifted to the incoming beast.
The fierce beast waited for the leopard to get near. It was ready to spew out poisonous gas from its mouth at any time.
But, the ice leopard wasn\'t just a simple beast. It has a master who can outsmart the giant scorpion\'s brain with ease.
As soon as the ice leopard covered half the distance, Mark gave an order through telepathy while he was looking at the skills, "don\'t go head-on. Make circles around it and create illusions with your fastest speed, then, attack with a Rush skill."
Following the orders, the ice leopard started to circle around the beast that is 15 times its size, just about twenty meters away.
Ten seconds passed and Mark got the effect he wanted. Due to its 6.8 points of agility, even he found it difficult to spot the original one.
Ten more seconds passed and the giant scorpion was now confused. It was attacking empty spots over and over with its stinger and the pincers.
Feeling irritated, it spun around itself while releasing poisonous gas around it.
Within no time, the ice leopard was affected by the poison but it ignored the gas and activated the skill, Rush.
Soon, what appeared like a beam of light struck the giant scorpion from sideways and it was blasted away for more than a dozen meters. The attack contained the power of the peak-stage 7-circle realm. So, it was quite injured by the successful ambush.
Maybe, due to Mark\'s luck, the injured giant scorpion coincidentally fell on its back and flapped its legs, struggling to get back on its feet.
Mark\'s ether points were deducted by 200,000. With an earlier deduction for the summoning, his current ether points stand at 700,000. Unfortunately, for him, the poison was too powerful for a six-circle beast. The ice leopard was already in dire status and was dismissed right away.
Meanwhile, the giant scorpion pushed its back against the ground with great force and flew into the air, and tried to twist its body in the air.
Having no other choice, Mark was ready to leave the place.
It was at that moment he saw a missile strike its abdomen, resulting in a heavy explosion.
"What the…" He was taken aback when he watched on the screen. He quickly looked at screen 5 where an attack helicopter was seen flying in the sky, nearly at 320 meters altitude from the ground. He couldn\'t hear the sound of the rotor blades. So, he didn\'t notice until now.
He immediately sent a message through the system. Soon, a reply came.
<strong>*Ding! Alina wishes to report that the three beasts were taken care of.</strong>
"That fast…" A trace of surprise appeared on Mark before realization dawned upon him, "I forgot that I created a lot of missiles during the fight with Sui Clan."
He said, "system, ask Alina how many missiles and unguided rockets she had used."
<strong>*Ding! Alina replies that including this, she had used a total of 4 hellfire missiles, 6 Hydra 70, and 11 mistral missiles so far.</strong>
"Oh, those were higher than I thought. I guess these beasts were at the peak stage. No wonder this didn\'t die earlier with one shot," Mark mumbled to himself before dismissing the beast and asking Alina to finish the rest without holding back.
With heavy injuries over its body, the giant scorpion stands on its feet. Its attention now shifted to the attack helicopter. As the hellfire missile was launched once again, it raised its pincers in time to crush the tiny thing.
But, as soon as the contact was made, it detonated right away, creating a massive explosion once again. Despite knowing that it can\'t harm him or his battle tank, Mark couldn\'t help but reversed the vehicle in hurry as part of instinct.
In an instant, the surroundings changed on their own. The smoke disappeared and what appeared on the screen is a giant portal, which is purple in color.
Mark realized that he probably unlocked the door to the boss. At the same time, he felt like he was stupid for wasting 30,000 ether points on nothing. He could have just waited outside and let Alina finish the job.
And so, he was forced to wait for half an hour to recover his ether points to full.
In the meantime, he formed a strategy and explained it to Alina. It was quite a simple one too.
Soon, the tank slowly moved towards the portal while at the same time, an attack helicopter also followed from the sky at the topmost part of the portal as neither of them knows how big this beast going to be.
The surroundings were the same, plain ground with no grass or big rocks or anything.
"Hohoho, an intruder. How long has it been? But, it\'s strange that I can\'t sense the presence of humans. Are those two puppets? Interesting…" A deep voice, heavily resembling a human escaped in the surroundings but too bad, neither Alina nor Mark could hear what it is.
However, it doesn\'t matter as the final boss already appeared on the screen.
Contrary to his expectations, it wasn\'t big at all. The beast barely reached the size of 4ft big and 7ft long, excluding its 3ft tail.
It is a grayish-brownish manticore with a lion\'s figure and paws; golden spikes covering its body; the fangs of a sabertooth; and the horns and wings of a dragon. Its eyes and tail\'s tip glow a bright blue.
