Chapter 1447: Steel Bao's Acting

~14 min read 2,646 words

"Bang!!!"

The arena shook violently. Centered on Steel Bao, the ground for nearly hundreds of meters around sank suddenly, blasting out a giant crater directly.

"Steel Authority!"

Steel Bao let out an unusually miserable scream.

In the high sky, the Mirror Spirit opened its mouth, and a thick white light beam instantly sprayed out, bombarding straight down, accurately attacking Steel Bao's body.

Only a "boom" loud noise was heard, and the shockwave, accompanied by white explosion energy, spread in all directions.

This time, the movement was so violent that it even covered up Steel Bao's scream.

In reality, many of Qiao Sang's fans looked away, some unable to bear to continue watching.

"The Steel Authority Emperor was weakened very severely." On the commentary stage, Nephthys sighed: "It looks like in the World in the Mirror, it has no power to fight back at all."

"The damage the Steel Authority Emperor suffered in the World in the Mirror is a large part of the illusion." Aoror said: "However, if the Steel Authority Emperor feels that it can no longer fight, then it will fall, fall into failure in the true sense, and will never be able to break the illusion again."

"Jeri."

Jeriloka elegantly drank a sip of water and called out, indicating that although a large part of the damage suffered in the World in the Mirror is an illusion, the damage caused is also real, especially since the one battling the Steel Authority Emperor now is the Mirror Spirit's mental body.

Nephthys asked: "How do you determine that the one battling the Steel Authority Emperor now is the Mirror Spirit's mental body?"

"Jeri."

Jeriloka put down its water cup and called out elegantly.

Feeling.

Nephthys: "..."

Aoror sighed: "If the one battling the Steel Authority Emperor is the Mirror Spirit's mental body, then the damage it suffered is a large part real."

On the high platform, Qiao Sang took a step back, looking like she had suffered heavy damage, her face ugly, but in fact, she was communicating quickly with Steel Bao in her mind:

"If the Mirror Spirit thinks you have fallen, it should take you out of the World in the Mirror. However, once you stand up again in reality, it will definitely take you into the World in the Mirror again very quickly. I think it's best to seriously injure it in the World in the Mirror when the Mirror Spirit is unprepared. Now, its guard should be at its lowest."

"Steel Authority."

Steel Bao's voice sounded in her mind.

It understood.

In the World in the Mirror, the arena's shockwave dissipated.

"Steel Authority..."

Steel Bao supported the ground with one wing, struggling to stand up.

However, before it could fully stand up, another thick white light beam sprayed out from the Mirror Spirit's mouth, bombarding straight down.

Steel Bao revealed an expression of panic, and black light with a very high quality appeared on its body, but it seemed that something went wrong in the middle, and the black light disappeared after appearing for only an instant.

"Bang!!!"

The strong shockwave, accompanied by the white energy produced by the explosion, ravaged the surroundings.

The entire arena shook violently.

After the shockwave dissipated and everything returned to calm, only Steel Bao was seen lying in the giant pit covered in wounds, already closing its eyes and not rising.

In reality, in the audience, commotion arose.

"No way? The Steel Authority Emperor just fell like this?"

"That shouldn't be. What about its absolute defense? Why didn't it perform it at all?"

"The Steel Authority Emperor has already performed it, but it suddenly disappeared again. It looks like it failed to perform."

"This is also too unlucky. It actually failed to perform at such a critical moment!"

"The World in the Mirror weakened the Steel Authority Emperor's ability, so it might have reduced its success rate in performing super-tier skills."

"Alas, Qiao Sang won't lose this match, right."

"Losing actually doesn't matter. Her Underworld Ring Monarch and Ice Saint Asia are both uninjured and can still fight. But in this way, the advantage is gone, and I always feel that even if the Steel Authority Emperor can't break the World in the Mirror, it should hold on for a while longer and consume more of the Mirror Spirit's energy."

"Even absolute defense failed to perform, how can it hold on."

"The Steel Authority Emperor has fallen!" On the commentary stage, Nephthys took a deep breath and shouted: "What terrifying power!"

Aoror sighed with great emotion: "The Mirror Spirit is really hidden too deep. I even feel that it is the most powerful one among all of Laifide's pets."

"Jeri."

Jeriloka nodded in agreement.

"The Steel Authority Emperor also tried its best." Nephthys said: "But there's really no way. Its defense was weakened too severely."

The whole arena was silent, followed by thunderous screams and cheers.

Laifide's fans were excited and thrilled, while Qiao Sang's fans had ugly faces, already worried about the upcoming match. The Mirror Spirit's ability really exceeded their previous imagination.

Next round, Qiao Sang is more likely to send out the Underworld Ring Monarch... On the high platform, Laifide didn't show joy, and his mind had already begun to consider the layout of the next round.

At this time, on the field, Steel Bao's wings moved.

Laifide used his mind for two purposes. He saw this scene and instantly gathered his thoughts, opening his mouth: "Evil."

The Mirror Spirit opened its mouth, and dense black energy condensed deep in its throat.

Steel Bao still had consciousness, it could still move. If it performed absolute defense now, maybe it could defend against the Mirror Spirit's attack... Steel Bao has been injured like this, even if it defends against the attack, what can it do next... No, this is a full-galaxy live broadcast match. All people who pay attention to the Steel Small Falcon race should be watching. As long as it can still move, it shouldn't give up, and Steel Bao won't give up... Qiao Sang shouted at the top of her lungs amidst the tearing pain:

"Steel Bao!!!"

The thick black light beam sprayed out.

Steel Bao listened to its own Beast Tamer's words in its mind and the sound of calling itself, and struggled to open one eye.

"Steel Authority..."

Dazzling white light suddenly lit up on its body.

The light was so dazzling that it was as if it had directly penetrated the thick night.

The arena was bright.

The pet beast wearing the referee's badge came to Gangbao's side, checked it briefly, and then raised a green flag and waved it in the direction where Contestant Laifeide was located.

The entire arena cheered.

Gangbao kept its eyes closed, showing no reaction.

High above, the Mirror Appraisal Spirit sized Gangbao up for a few moments, when suddenly the mirror on its body flickered and aimed at Gangbao.

The light from the mirror shone upon Gangbao's body like sunlight.

This is... In reality, Qiao Sang maintained a pained expression on the surface while her brain thought rapidly.

The ability the Mirror Appraisal Spirit was using seemed to be an appraisal ability, but she remembered that this type of appraisal ability shouldn't be able to determine whether a target was faking unconsciousness...

Immediately following this, she thought of something, and her pupils constricted slightly.

This isn't appraisal! This is an attempt to attack Gangbao again! To test if it's really unconscious!

Gangbao... Worry inevitably rose in Qiao Sang's heart.

Inside the mirror world, under the illumination of the mirror, scorching flames suddenly ignited all over Gangbao's body!

Under the burning of the flames, it remained motionless, still maintaining its state of unconsciousness.

"It seems the Mirror Appraisal Spirit is very cautious." In reality, on the commentary stage, Nefutis sighed with emotion: "Even with the Steel Authority Emperor in this state, it still wants to confirm it again."

"If the Steel Authority Emperor's state of unconsciousness isn't thorough enough, it's afraid it will be burned awake by the mirror fire," Oruo'er said.

Mirror fire, a dual-element skill of fire and psychic, can ignite flames through a mirror in the presence of sunlight; as long as sunlight exists, the flames will continue to burn.

"Re-li."

Re-li Luoka glanced at Qiao Sang on the high platform and let out an elegant cry, indicating that it suddenly felt that the bond of power between a beast tamer and their pet beast didn't seem to be entirely a good thing.

On the high platform, Qiao Sang revealed an extremely pained expression, with sweat even seeping from her forehead; she was indeed somewhat uncomfortable, but in reality, she wasn't as miserable as she appeared.

Under Like Ya Bao's successive feedback, she already had excellent resistance to fire, and even if her whole body were on fire, she wouldn't feel any pain.

However, Gangbao was different; fire skills could cause it damage, and since Gangbao felt pain, she naturally felt it too.

If a pet beast is in a state of unconsciousness, its consciousness disappears, but its sensations still exist; as a beast tamer possessing the bond of power, she could certainly feel the pet beast's physical condition, so she still had to act a little.

"The flames are burning now, and the Mirror Appraisal Spirit can't see your body color; actually, you can use Iron Wall to defend yourself," Qiao Sang said in her mind.

"Steel Authority?"

Gangbao's voice rang out in her mind, asking if she was uncomfortable.

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, and answered truthfully: "It's okay."

"Steel Authority."

Gangbao let out a cry, indicating that it didn't know when the flames would disappear, and that doing nothing was the safest course of action.

Qiao Sang fell silent; she naturally understood this logic, but watching Gangbao being burned while doing nothing still felt very different.

"Steel Authority."

Gangbao realized its beast tamer's thoughts, and its heart softened; it let out a cry, indicating that it was fine and that it couldn't feel much pain either.

Lying, I'm already in pain, how could you not be... Qiao Sang said to herself.

"Steel Authority."

Gangbao let out a cry, indicating that the pain she felt wasn't "okay."

Qiao Sang: "..."

Qiao Sang thought of something and said: "The opponent must have researched your defensive capabilities; if you keep getting burned without moving, it's quite fake. I think it's best if you wait and pretend you're about to be burned awake; the opponent will be more likely to believe that."

Gangbao did not respond again.

Inside the mirror world, Gangbao, being burned by the flames, suddenly revealed a pained, struggling expression, as if it were about to wake up.

The Mirror Appraisal Spirit high above seemed to have finally finished confirming, and the light from the mirror on its body disappeared.

At the same time, the flames burning on Gangbao's body also vanished; it kept its eyes closed, and its expression returned to calmness.

The Mirror Appraisal Spirit pressed its palms together.

The next second, everything around them made a "crack" sound, like a mirror shattering.

Almost at the same time, Gangbao opened its eyes abruptly and swung its left wing upward with force.

The massive wing swung out suddenly, transforming into a giant curved blade floating with purple feathers and shimmering with holy white light! It shot rapidly in the direction of the Mirror Appraisal Spirit.

"!!!" In reality, the entire audience's eyes widened instantly.

Contestant Laifeide: "!!!"

Inside the mirror world, the Mirror Appraisal Spirit watched the giant curved blade striking directly at it, its pupils shrinking sharply.

The speed of the giant curved blade was terrifyingly fast; it flashed by, and the holy white light grazed past in front of it.

"Mirror Appraisal!!!"

The Mirror Appraisal Spirit had no preparation at all and was hit directly, screaming as it flew backward.

The mirror world began to collapse even faster.

"Combine!"

At this moment, Contestant Laifeide shouted loudly.

At this time, the mirror world was already in a shattered state, and sounds from the outside could be transmitted into it.

Hearing its beast tamer's voice, the Mirror Appraisal Spirit gritted its teeth and pressed its claws together while flying backward, channeling its energy.

The next moment, the surrounding world was like time flowing backward, stitching itself back together as if it had never shattered.

Seeing this, Contestant Laifeide breathed a sigh of relief; as long as the mirror world could be restored, the Steel Authority Emperor's abilities would be significantly weakened, and there would be nothing to fear.

As the thought flashed, the Steel Authority Emperor in the mirror opened its mouth, and a pale beam of light instantly brewed deep in its throat, striking in the direction of the Mirror Appraisal Spirit at extreme speed.

This is, Steel-Guided Ray... Contestant Laifeide recognized this skill immediately.

He didn't panic; inside the mirror world, the power of an opponent's super-tier skill could be completely weakened to only a high-tier level.

The mirror on the Mirror Appraisal Spirit's body shimmered with rich white light.

The scene he imagined, where the pale beam was absorbed and then super-reflected back onto the Steel Authority Emperor, did not happen.

With a loud "bang," the pale beam exploded directly upon hitting the Mirror Appraisal Spirit, the pale light illuminating the entire arena.

Shockwaves ravaged the surroundings.

At the same time, there was a "crack" sound all around, and everything shattered like broken glass.

"!!!"

Contestant Laifeide suddenly realized something and looked at the Steel Authority Emperor amidst the countless shards of glass; sure enough, its body was shimmering with unusual light, as if it were wearing translucent, crystalline armor!

Mirror Armor!

It was actually the Mirror Armor trait!

Was the Steel Authority Emperor's previous state all an act? Or was he really just that unlucky, having the Steel Authority Emperor trigger the Mirror Armor trait at such a critical moment?

All sorts of thoughts popped into Contestant Laifeide's mind.

The entire world collapsed and vanished.

"Mirror Appraisal!!!"

In reality, the Mirror Appraisal Spirit screamed as it flew backward.

The mirror on its body lit up for a moment, and Gangbao appeared out of thin air on the arena, flapping its wings; the unusual light on its body had already vanished, and it hovered in the air.

The entire arena was silent, followed by an explosion of deafening screams and cheers; many people and pet beasts were so excited they stood up directly.

On the commentary stage, Nefutis reacted immediately, her eyes lighting up suddenly as she said loudly:

"It's Mirror Armor! The Steel Authority Emperor successfully triggered the Mirror Armor trait! Its abilities weren't weakened! Instead, they were reflected back onto the Mirror Appraisal Spirit! That's why it used the Steel-Guided Ray to break through the Mirror Appraisal Spirit's mirror reflection directly! It hit the Mirror Appraisal Spirit's spiritual body and disintegrated the mirror world!"

Oruo'er sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect the Steel Authority Emperor to also have the Mirror Armor trait! This perfectly countered the weakening ability in the mirror world!"

"Re-li..."

Re-li Luoka put down its water cup, also feeling quite emotional.

This Steel Authority Emperor fellow is really a good actor...

Amidst the noisy clamor, Gangbao flapped its wings downward.

Countless feathers shimmered with purple light, transforming into countless purple blades that shot rapidly toward the Mirror Appraisal Spirit flying backward.

The Mirror Appraisal Spirit could no longer fight... Relying on his rich battle experience, Contestant Laifeide made a judgment based on the Mirror Appraisal Spirit's physical condition; he didn't hesitate at all and shouted: "Seal!"

"Mirror Appraisal..."

The Mirror Appraisal Spirit endured the intense pain and channeled its energy, its whole body shimmering with blue light.

"Bang!"

All the purple blades bombarded its body.

Amidst an explosion, the Mirror Appraisal Spirit fell to the ground.
