I Let You Manage the Beast Taming Arena, Now Everyone Became Divine Beasts?

Chapter 116: You Expend Your Spiritual Energy, Whereas I Exert My Physical Strength

“Yes, Giles. The Leaf-eared Cat’s current innate skill is similar to what you analyzed just now.”

“After it evolved from a Green-tailed Cat to a Leaf-eared Cat, its innate skill, ‘Leaf Disguise’, was significantly enhanced.”

“The spiritual energy that the Leaf-eared Cat expends after activating this skill is similar to before its evolution.”

“However, not only can it completely hide its figure and aura, but it can also greatly increase its speed.”

“As the first team to discover this talent, the experts and scholars of Yorkshire named the enhanced innate skill ‘Cloak of Nature’.

Unlike Giles, who looked relaxed and was even in the mood to sight emotionally, Annie, who had a serious expression on her face, didn’t take her eyes off the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air as she replied to Giles.

After hearing Giles’ analysis, Annie, who was already mentally prepared, was not surprised at all.

In Annie’s opinion, after the battles and training last month, it was only natural for Giles to know the Leaf-eared Cat’s skills very well.

Hence, based on the current situation, he could hit the nail on the head with his guess that Leaf-eared Cat’s innate skill had been enhanced after its evolution.

Since Giles had already guessed the effect of the Leaf-eared Cat’s innate skill, Annie merely told him outright without any intention of hiding it.

After all, this was the current challenge that the Metal-feathered Eagle was facing.

Even if Giles had guessed the innate skill of the Leaf-eared Cat, it would not change this reality.

However, after observing the Metal-feathered Eagle for a few seconds, Annie frowned.

From the reaction of the Metal-feathered Eagle, it didn’t seem to think that this situation was a problem.

The Metal-feathered Eagle, which had stopped above the arena, did not show any signs of nervousness or panic.

Faced with the noisy chatter made by the cat shuttling through the bushes from time to time, the indifferent Metal-feathered Eagle shook its head slightly and calmly searched for the location of the Leaf-eared Cat.

However, after the Metal-feathered Eagle stopped shaking its head, it still had no intention of moving.

It merely flapped its wings slowly and maintained its flying height above the surrounding trees.

Under these circumstances, if the Green-eared Cat hiding in the bushes attacked rashly, the Metal-feathered Eagle would have ample time to react.

Not only could it easily dodge the attack of the Leaf-eared Cat, but it could also seize this opportunity to retaliate.

Annie frowned and made this judgment after observing in detail.

Although there were dense trees and shrubs all over the ground to serve as camouflage in this battle environment, the Metal-feathered Eagle’s eyes were focused on the area where the cat was hiding.

Could it be that in such a complicated battle environment, the Metal-feathered Eagle can still spot the Leaf-eared Cat?

This thought crossed Annie’s mind when she saw the Metal-feathered Eagle behaving so calmly.

The reason why she decided to use this battle environment filled with trees and shrubs before the ability evaluation began was because…

Apart from planning to use the bushes to hide the Leaf-eared Cat’s figure, as well as to have the tall and dense trees block the Metal-feathered Eagle’s vision…

Most importantly, it was to prevent the Metal-feathered Eagle from using the ‘Wind Wings’ skill to stir up a strong gust of wind and blow the Leaf-eared Cat cat out of the bushes like Giles’ Gold-rank spirit beast, Swan Beast.

Right now, there were many tall and dense trees in this area that could be used as bunkers to ward off the strong wind for the Leaf-eared Cat.

Even if the Metal-feathered Eagle used the ‘Wind Wings’ skill at full strength, it would not be able to expose the Leaf-eared Cat’s body by relying on the strong wind.

Right now, she was making use of the restrictions in the battle environment to seal off ‘Wind Wings’, a powerful skill that was extremely threatening to the Leaf-eared Cat.

The Metal-feathered Eagle, which was flapping its wings in the air, probably did not have any effective means to attack the Leaf-eared Cat.

Initially, Annie was very confident about the strategy and tactics she had prepared for this challenge.

However, when she thought about the praise and analysis Giles had just given, Annie, who had been staring at the Metal-feathered Eagle, began to slacken her gaze.

In the end, she couldn’t help but look at Giles, who looked much more relaxed than she did.

As a Beast Tamer who was also commanding outside the arena, Giles seemed to be enjoying this long-awaited battle.

At that moment, he was not observing the greenery-filled venue to help the Metal-feathered Eagle search for the Leaf-eared Cat.

His gaze was the same as that of Annie’s previously, only fixated on the Metal-feathered Eagle.

At that moment, Giles had just received a message from the Metal-feathered Eagle via spiritual communication.

After confirming that the Metal-feathered Eagle could now catch sight of the Leaf-eared Cat, Giles sighed in his heart.

Looks like the training of getting the Metal-feathered Eagle to use “Feather Arrows” to shoot targets in the past two weeks had not been in vain.

The Metal-feathered Eagle’s ability to use its eyes to capture moving targets is already outstanding.

When Giles retracted his gaze from the Metal-feathered Eagle, he noticed Annie looking at him.

“Annie, if you’re planning to let the Leaf-eared Cat hide by activating its innate skill, ‘Cloak of Nature’, then my advice to you is to give up on this decision as soon as possible.”

“As you can see, ever since my Metal-feathered Eagle flew into this arena, its flying height has been maintained above the tall and dense trees.”

“Based on my understanding of the Leaf-eared Cat before its evolution, if your cat wants to attack the flying Metal-feathered Eagle, it will definitely expose its location when it activates its skill.”

“When your Leaf-eared Cat activates its innate skill, ‘Cloak of Nature’, it will continue to expend its spiritual energy. Meanwhile, my Metal-feathered Eagle will maintain its current flying height at a safe distance. It will only use a tiny amount of physical strength.”

Although the Leaf-eared Cat’s combat effectiveness rank was three ranks above the Metal-feathered Eagle, Annie also concurred with Giles’ suggestion.

When her Leaf-eared Cat activated its innate skill to conceal its body and aura, it would continuously expend its spiritual energy.

Furthermore, it would also expend some of its physical strength to move quickly through the bushes.

Therefore, it was much easier for the Metal-feathered Eagle, which maintained its flying height by merely flapping its wings a few times, than the Leaf-eared Cat.

If she and the Leaf-eared Cat continued waiting for the Metal-feathered Eagle to reveal its weakness like now, eventually, it would be the Leaf-eared Cat whose spiritual energy was exhausted first.

“Initially, I thought that my Leaf-eared Cat should be the hunter hiding in the dark, waiting with ease for the exhausted enemy. However, the situation has reversed.”

The Metal-feathered Eagle, which is flying at a high speed in the air, has only expended a little of its strength. In order to hide its figure and distract the Metal-feathered Eagle, my Leaf Cat has clearly expended more spiritual energy and physical strength than it.

However, although Giles is like a gym leader, pointing out the inadequacy of the tactical layout for a challenger like me during the battle, Giles and I are currently undergoing an ability evaluation.

Under these circumstances, it might be because the Metal-feathered Eagle can’t actually spot the Leaf-eared Cat, that’s why Giles suddenly said these words to me to influence my judgment.

As for whether it is true or not, we’ll only know after we give it a try.

At the thought of this, Annie’s gaze became determined.

She raised her head again and looked at the Metal-feathered Eagle in the sky.

Through spiritual communication, Annie sent a command to the Leaf-eared Cat hiding in the bushes.

“Leaf-eared Cat, accelerate at full speed from now on and shuttle back and forth between the bushes!”

“Once I notice that the Metal-feathered Eagle’s gaze isn’t following your movements, I’ll seize that opportunity and let you shoot it down from the sky with your skill ‘Green Leaf Flying Dagger’.”
