Chapter 207: The Imp Beast’s Desire to Grow Stronger
Because he had already experienced the round trip once, Wit moved faster than Dark.
But their goals were different, so of course their routes were also different.
…
Dark did not know that Wit and the others had also entered the secret path. Habitually, he took out his notebook and began sketching. Soon, two giant bear statues appeared on the page.
They were a black bear wielding a massive axe and a white bear wielding a huge sword!
Both bears were armored like knights, majestic and imposing.
After two minutes, Dark completed his sketch.
He put the notebook back in his bag, then followed the treasure map’s guidance, stepping into the passage guarded by the two giant bears.
In an instant.
The ground trembled slightly.
A faint sound of shattering echoed in his ears.
“Be careful!”
The imp beast flying in the air suddenly let out a scream!
Dark instinctively stepped back two steps.
There was a slight delay.
Rock fragments scattered everywhere as the massive axe and sword suddenly slashed down from both sides!
They barely grazed his bangs and heavily struck the ground!
Dark hurriedly stepped back another two steps and saw the two giant weapons cross, blocking the entrance to the passage.
The black bear and white bear had fine cracks all over their bodies, especially at the joints where the stone shells almost shattered, revealing long, coarse fur underneath!
Dark’s expression changed slightly: “Could they be the common boss monsters in games?”
He originally thought that after the students left, no more creatures like the Minotaur would appear in the secret path.
But now, he was too optimistic!
“We have to fight!”
Dark’s tone involuntarily became high-spirited!
It couldn’t be denied that after experiencing the second class competition, his desire for battle had deepened!
The imp beast in the air sensed his master’s will and immediately flew down swiftly.
Dark inserted his finger into his card pack, gathering mana at his fingertips. With just a slight swipe on the side of a magic card, he selected “Bliss III” from a large number of cards!
Then, while continuing to retreat, he hooked his index and middle fingers, holding “Bliss III” between them!
“Swipe and Evolve!”
Intense pink light instantly radiated from the surface of “Bliss III”, mingling with the flames on both sides of the secret path.
The imp beast actively met the Bliss light, and the skull pattern on its forehead was instantly replaced by the “Bliss” emblem.
As the emblem formed, all the pink light suddenly contracted, converging towards the emblem.
The imp beast merged with the intense light, its body gradually elongating, revealing the form of a cat girl!
When the light faded, a graceful black cat stretched its body and emerged!
It was “Black Diarumon”!
…
Thanks to the new “Bliss III” evolution, Black Diarumon, although having a seductive side, possessed a rational one as well.
Standing in front of Dark, it stared intently at the two giant bear statues, then suddenly leaped forward, choosing to attack proactively!
“Kitty Punch!”
Although Black Diarumon was a variant of Deoxys, the cat claws on its hands still replicated the data from the Golden Sword Lion’s claws, capable of tearing through anything.
Dark only saw a flash of black light, and the abdomen of the white bear statue on his right was torn open!
The partially broken stone shell instantly shattered, but no blood flowed from the three deep claw marks.
This indicated that the white bear inside the stone shell was not made of flesh and blood!
Stimulated by Black Diarumon, the white bear immediately rotated its shoulder, swinging the massive sword downward.
That sword was powerful and swift, like lightning.
Despite Black Diarumon’s attack power of 1900, its defense was only 900. If hit by this sword, it would certainly be injured.
However, it was well-versed in strategy, touching lightly before retreating.
The powerful sword energy merely cut through the air, causing a loud thud when it struck the ground!
Rolling backward, Black Diarumon kicked off and burst forth again, turning into a blur. In an instant, it leaped over the massive sword, aiming its raised cat claws at the face of the white bear!
“Roar!”
Almost in the blink of an eye.
The black bear on the left also moved!
It did nothing but swing the massive axe upward from below, cutting along the white bear’s abdomen.
The axe blade was blunt, but its force was heavy.
Black Diarumon, airborne, couldn’t dodge in time and was smashed away!
Its mana value visibly dropped significantly!
Yet, at this moment, Dark remained completely calm.
“Based on the injuries sustained by Black Diarumon, the attack power is in the four-star range.”
“Two in number, primarily engaging in close combat, and have not yet shown any corresponding skills.”
“Can Black Diarumon handle it alone?”
…
“Of course!”
Black Diarumon walked back to Dark’s side, grabbed the “Energy Potion” from his hand, and drank it down.
[Mana Value +200]
With slight recovery, its gaze became even sharper!
If it couldn’t even handle two clumsy bears, how could it compete with Eevee or Deoxys?
It held its breath, standing with feet apart, ready for the inevitable stormy battle!
“Boom!”
The two giant bears finally shattered their stone shells!
They took a step forward, descending from the pedestals of their statues, then one raised the stone axe, the other raised the stone sword, charging forward with a fierce roar!
Their duty was to guard the passage and eliminate intruders, a responsibility unchanged since ancient times.
Within their duty, there was no room for negotiation.
Perhaps the passage of time eroded their bodies, or perhaps their long life as statues had gradually homogenized them.
Except for the speed of their weapon swings, their movements were noticeably stiff.
Black Diarumon inhaled deeply, gradually building up strength like a master.
When the two weapons suddenly struck down, it pressed its body, sliding forward perfectly to avoid the attacks!
Then, it leaped lightly, soaring into the air.
Using a little force from the white bear’s body, it rebounded to the top of the black bear.
Following up with a clean “Kitty Punch,” it shattered the black bear’s skull!
As the black bear collapsed with a roar.
Black Diarumon flipped and landed, its body stretching in the air like a sea cucumber, landing in an incredibly impossible posture on the white bear’s head.
The white bear, holding the massive swords in both hands, didn’t understand to drop the swords to grab, only swinging the swords back, slicing off a layer of its own scalp!
It was laughably foolish!
Black Diarumon easily dodged the massive sword, finishing it off with a follow-up strike!
In just a few rounds, it displayed extreme agility like a butterfly dancing among flowers.
Breaking the skull, crushing the core!
The black bear and white bear, as biological mimicry constructs, ceased all functions.
