Astral Pet Store (WN)

Boom!!

The city wall shook. Dust provided a cover to the Little Skeleton who was running around wildly. Everywhere the Little Skeleton appeared, blood would spill out. The battle pet warriors who were trying to fight back would be ripped apart before they got a chance. “What, what is that thing?” “Is that a beast king? Come on. Get into formation!” “Stop it!”

People on the city wall ran around disorderly.

The slaughter came down on them too unexpectedly and there was no stopping it!

Some battle pet warriors had not fully understood what was going on yet. They could not even see what was attacking them. But they didn’t think it was a beast king because they always were prominently large.

All they could see, at the moment, was a white blur. The middle-rank battle pet warriors weren’t even able to see that blur. What leapt to their sights was the destruction.

“That’s a beast king, a super beast king!”

A titled battle pet warrior poured his astral powers into his eyes so that he could catch a glimpse of that blur. To his surprise, he saw a skeleton!

He was sure that no common skeleton had the strength to do all that!

It had to be some sort of mutated thing!

A titled battle pet warrior, the man that tried to persuade Tang Ruyan to leave, ordered, “Gather all the titled battle pet warriors. Let’s stop it!” That old man had gray hair and mustache; he was a majestic looking elder at the peak of the titled rank.

He was a well known titled battle pet warrior.

The other titled battle pet warriors quickly came back to their senses. They gathered around the titled battle pet warrior. At the moment, working together was the only method for them to stop that horrifying skeleton!

“It’s so fast…”

Outside the base city, Tang Ruyan stared at the Little Skeleton in a daze while she stood on the beast king.

The Little Skeleton was clearly the silent type. She had always thought that the skeleton was a cute little guy, maybe even a little bit silly. But it was too vicious in a fight!

“Wait. I’m coming!”

Tang Ruyan was eager to try. She couldn’t sit around and let the chance slip by since the Little Skeleton had taken the lead and was trying to breach into the enemy’s defenses for her.

Roar!!

The beast king bellowed to the skies and the roar’s power even made some ripples in the air.

Boom!

The beast king pounced at the base city.

Standing on that city wall, the old man at the peak of the titled rank was gathering the others to prepare the formation.

Several titled battle pet warriors had answered his call. All of a sudden, he felt a gentle breeze brushing past his back. A thing came to him. The white skeleton still had many splatters of blood on its bones and remains had been stuck in its cracks; pieces of torn limbs, and things of the sort. It was quite appalling to the eyes.

The titled battle pet warriors that were gathered around the old man were panic-stricken to see that skeleton had sneaked up on them. They kept their mouths ajar in terror but were unable to utter a single word.

That skeleton had overpowered them!

The temperature was dropping. The old man was about to say something when he noticed that look of terror on the faces of people standing in front of him. They were staring at him, or, to be exact, staring past his shoulders. He felt a chill running down his spine.

He felt that something terrifying was staring at him from behind.

He could not breathe.

He rolled his eyes and thought about looking back.

Bang!

His head was crushed.

On his neck appeared a skeleton’s hand. The old man fell. His astral shields and the treasures he carried just glistened for one second before they broke into nothingness.

The other titled battle pet warriors trembled as the headless corpse fell. The skeleton had killed a man at the peak of the titled rank. That was beyond comprehension.

They trembled and shivered like innocent children who had never seen blood, instead of acting like seasoned titled battle pet warriors.

Boom!

The Little Skeleton had disappeared before they could gather their thoughts. Consequently, the Little Skeleton ran past two more titled battle pet warriors. In front of the third titled battle pet warrior, the Little Skeleton extended its arm and used its finger bone as the blade to directly cut the man’s head open. Brain matter was spilled out.

Bloody! Cruel!

The titled battle pet warriors that had just arrived turned around and ran away at once.

Boom!!

The city wall trembled a second time. On the other side, a behemoth had just hopped onto the wall, stomping many titled battle pet warriors to death. The other battle pet warriors began to flee in panic. No one was thinking about guarding the city anymore. All that was left in their minds was fear.

Dong, dong, dong!!

A strange noise was heard, like a drum beat. But it exerted a direct impact on people’s hearts, messing up their heartbeats. “All who abandon their posts shall be punished with death!”

“Be prepared…”

Standing on a platform was an officer who was beating a drum. He yelled to the battle pet warriors. The casualties would only be greater if he allowed them to flee like that.

He saw a ray of red sword light reaching him before he finished his command!

In a hurry, the man raised his astral shield. Three swirls opened up next to him, and three ninth-rank battle pets crawled out from them.

Boom. The battle pets set up shields and armors to fend off that ray of sword light.

Before that noise went away, the man saw a slim and breathtaking girl emerging behind that light, charging at him ferociously.

“Stop her!!”

That titled battle pet warrior shouted.

He had realized that he was in no condition to beat that girl at the moment he saw that ray of light, not to mention that she was riding a beast king. He didn’t stand a chance.

“Hmm!”

Tang Ruyan snorted and stepped toward the man.

Shadow Tracing!

Boom!

Tang Ruyan was then split into several different girls; the real Tang Ruyan had snuck up behind him before the man was able to tell which one was the real her.

She swung her sword and cut the man.

From that cut, blood was being sucked out by the sword.

As the man died, his three battle pets stopped their strikes as well. Some of the pets stood there in a daze. Soon, one of them with sharper senses picked up the horrifying feeling in Tang Ruyan; it was startled, so it immediately decided to run off. The battle pet jumped down from the wall and disappeared into the wilderness.

Finally, the other two battle pets came back to their senses. They hurried and ran into the wild as well.

“I’m only here to find the Wang family!”

“Anyone who gets in my way will be killed!” Tang Ruyan stood in the air, holding the sword, and made her intentions clear.

Everyone could hear her words clearly. The titled battle pet warriors that were running for their lives were forced to a stop. They wondered what had gotten into the head of their mayor. How come he had agreed to help the Wang family before he asked for information about that terrifying girl? He had placed the entire Wufeng Base City in a dangerous situation!

No one would stand in Tang Ruyan’s way. The beast king alone had frightened many titled battle pet warriors, not to mention that odd skeleton.

“Come on!”

Tang Ruyan summoned the beast king that was still wreaking havoc. She stood on its head and asked the Little Skeleton to join her.

The Little Skeleton received her command. It gazed into her eyes, stopped beating up those people, and rushed to her. Tang Ruyan was thrilled to see that the Little Skeleton had answered her call. While delighted, she told the beast king to carry them to the Wang family territory right away. The beast king hurried along the way inside the base city.

Soon, Tang Ruyan had arrived.

The Wang family’s home base had been built on a mountain, one of the five peaks in the base city. The mountain rose to the sky and the buildings dotted the foot of the mountain, all the way to its top.

Tang Ruyan thus commanded, “Break the mountain.”

The beast king sprang to work. As the beast king snarled, the ground began to tremble and so did the buildings in the area. The walls of the buildings cracked, revealing the steel bars inside.
