Chapter 958: An Almighty Beast Full-Shifter!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The gigantic black bat in the sky glared coldly at Merlin.

“That idiot Orsato. Did he think I won’t see through his purpose in luring you here? D*mn that fool. Since you’re Count Stanwin’s son, barging into Boulder City again is a display of contempt toward me! I’m more curious about the Blood-eye Dragon’s will you’ve merged with. I wonder how you suppress it?”

Blackbat’s words caused Merlin to reappraise this powerful existence who was a full-shifter. Any full-shifting existence, even if they shifted into a low-tier almighty beast, was very powerful.

This was because only through a full-shift, one could unleash the complete strength contained within the bloodline. Without achieving a full-shift, the bloodline’s power that was unleashed would not even be a tenth of the full amount.

Consequently, only full-shifters could be called a contender who could rule over an area by force as this was a power that was two levels above the rest.

Blackbat could tell that Merlin was a Host in one glance, and he knew that Merlin’s current shifted form was the Blood-eye Dragon. Merlin was not puzzled about this. After all, the Blood-eye Dragon was a high-tier almighty beast bloodline. Those who were widely knowledgeable would usually have a deeper impression of it.

“Stamp.”

Merlin snarled furiously, following which his body immediately bolted out of Boulder City. Nonetheless, Blackbat was not an ordinary shifter. He would not be stunned by the Dragon’s Roar Merlin had unleashed.

“You can’t run away...”

Blackbat spread both his wings and flapped them lightly. Like a dark cloud in the sky, he swiftly chased after Merlin.

Merlin raised his head and spotted the mass of shadow in the sky. He knew that escape was unlikely, so he could only fight.

“Full-shifter... I want to see how powerful you are.”

Merlin drew in a deep breath and stopped fleeing. He had some understanding of Blackbat. This sort of almighty beast bloodline was not that formidable, being merely a low-tier bloodline.

Nonetheless, once an almighty beast of a low-tier bloodline had achieved a full-shift, they would be rather terrifying. In particular, after full-shifting, most almighty beasts could wield their natural abilities.

“Oh, a high-tier almighty beast bloodline. However, I didn’t share your courage. Back then, I didn’t choose parasitism but continued to train the Blackbat bloodline. Haven’t I become a full-shifter now? You’ll never know how powerful a full-shifter can be.”

Blackbat did not seem dismayed over his low-tier almighty beast bloodline. Conversely, he took pride in it. Even among those who chose a mid-tier almighty beast bloodline, how many of them could become a full-shifter?

Therefore, if one could reach a full-shift, one was then a contender. Even toward a high-tier almighty beast bloodline like Merlin’s, Blackbat could treat it in a patronizing manner. This was his level of confidence.

“Hoo...”

A hurricane appeared as the black bat’s wings flapped lightly. Following that, its massive bulk swooped down directly toward Merlin.

Although Blackbat had never been an almighty beast that excelled in strength, mainly using its agility and soundwave attacks, a full-shifted Blackbat could unleash the total strength of the bloodline. Therefore, compared to Merlin who could not even exhibit a tenth of the power from the Blood-eye Dragon’s bloodline, naturally, Blackbat had nothing to fear.

Merlin sucked in a gulp of air. He could sense that the Blood-eye Dragon’s will in his Awareness was enraged.

“A mere, puny bat dares to look down upon the great Blood-eye Dragon?”

The Blood-eye Dragon’s will was ultimately very haughty, but it knew that Merlin was merely a third-shifter at the moment. Although it was furious, it could not do anything.

“Whiz.”

Merlin’s thick tail violently lashed toward the sky. This was a stiff blow. He wanted to see how powerful Blackbat truly was.

“Bang.”

There was a heavy crash as two almighty beasts ruthlessly collided. There were no flashy tricks here for this was a brute force against another brute force. Merlin’s tail whipped Blackbat’s body, and he felt that his opponent was like a huge mountain.

Nonetheless, Merlin was not dejected. Conversely, he gained some hope from this. Although Merlin’s opponent had gained the upper hand in this match of force, he was not undefeatable. The disparity between Merlin and a full-shifter was not as immense as Merlin had thought.

Moreover, Blackbat was somewhat astonished as well. This was the first time he faced a high-tier almighty beast. Although Merlin was merely a third-form shifter, his strength was impressive to an extent that fourth-form shifters with mid-tier almighty beast bloodlines could not compare to.

Therefore, his full-shifter’s strength only lent him a slight advantage. It should be known that the tail was not Merlin’s strongest strike. Merlin still had not unleashed his greatest force.

“A high-tier almighty beast is extraordinary indeed.”

While Blackbat was still reeling from his shock, Merlin had already made his move. His Blood-eye Dragon roared ferociously to the sky, gathering energy from its entire body.

“Crush!”

Merlin’s tremendous body was like a hefty grinder as he lunged directly toward Blackbat. Perhaps this was the only aspect in which Merlin could surpass Blackbat. After all, a high-tier almighty beast was much stronger than a low-tier almighty beast. If Merlin could become a fourth-form shifter, his current strength would be much greater. He would not need to stake everything in one move as he was doing now.

“Whoosh.”

As if he sensed the fearsomeness of Merlin’s “crushing”, Blackbat chose to dodge for the first time. His true forte was his speed and soundwaves. If he did not wish to resort to brute force, Merlin could do nothing about it.

Furthermore, Blackbat had wings. When he flew into the sky, Merlin was helpless.

The only exception was if Merlin could attain a full-shift. Nonetheless, a full-shift of a high-tier almighty beast would be frightening to an inconceivable extent. Blackbat would not even dare to come near and would have already escaped without leaving any trace.

“Screech screech screech screech.”

Suddenly, a strange sound rang in Merlin’s brain. This sound was pervasive and inescapable. After it entered Merlin’s body, it stirred up Merlin’s blood, causing it to surge in madness as if it would explode at any time.

At that point, no matter how formidable Merlin’s physical defenses were, he would be blown up into bloody pieces.

“A natural ability – soundwave attacks?”

Merlin looked up and saw that Blackbat was circling above his head. His opponent had finally demonstrated a natural ability that only full-shifters could wield. Blackbat’s natural ability was his very mysterious soundwave attacks. They penetrated every pore and were impossible to guard against.

“I can’t go on like this.”

Merlin pondered this matter. Compared to a full-shifted almighty beast, he was still somewhat lacking. Of course, if he could reach the fourth-form, this disparity would be rapidly reduced or he could even overcome it.

This was the fortitude of top-tier almighty beasts. Nonetheless, the difference in ability between both sides was not something Merlin’s third-form shifting could overcome.

Even so, Merlin’s expression showed no trace of fear.

“A full-shifter... So what? Die!”

Finally, Merlin mobilized his Mind Power. His Illusory World was now in tatters. He would not dare to display it in the Almighty Beast World at all. Otherwise, the will of the Almighty Beast World would descend.

Therefore, Merlin could only utilize what little Mind Power he was left with. As the foremost Mind Power Master in his previous life, a powerful existence who had started to materialize illusions as reality, he was formidable to be scary even just using his Mind Power!

At once, the vast Mind Power wildly surged from Merlin’s Awareness toward Blackbat who was circling ceaselessly in the sky. The smile on his opponent’s face seemed to stop like time itself, coming to an abrupt end!
