Chapter 57 This Was Called Talent

The official sources hadn't released any information about the Ice Rabbit Lord's abilities, presumably due to a lack of concrete data.

Even if members of the other Beast Guards had hunted it before, they wouldn't have freely disclosed such information. After all, people tended to keep their secrets.

Caspar nodded, focusing intently on the battlefield. Controlling two contract spirits required a lot of mental energy.

At this moment, the Ice Rabbit Lord suddenly exerted force with its limbs, jumping several feet high and instantly pouncing on the Claw Wolf, pinning it to the ground.

The other contract spirits were about to launch an attack to help the Claw Wolf escape.

"Everyone, don't go over there!" John shouted loudly, "The temperature around us is dropping!"

A wave of cold swept over them, leaving everyone stunned. They instantly grasped the gravity of the situation. Without hesitation, they commanded their contract spirits to withdraw from the battlefield, and they themselves retreated dozens of feet.

This must be another of the Ice Rabbit Lord's skill!

At this moment, the Claw Wolf, without any help, found it difficult to escape and could only roar in anger.

The Ice Rabbit Lord's eyes were filled with killing intent. As long as it dealt with the Claw Wolf, the other contract spirits would be no threat.

If the Wind-Winged Eagle in the sky were caught, it would definitely be killed instantly, making it unable to be a main force.

Caspar clenched his fists. He now had only two choices.

Withdraw the Claw Wolf, or let it endure the Ice Rabbit Lord's ultimate move!

If he withdrew it, he would need to wait a while before summoning it again, by which time everyone might already be dead.

But the Claw Wolf was not a defensive contract spirit and probably couldn't withstand the Ice Rabbit Lord's skill either.

Caspar asked, "John, do you have any suggestions?"

Caspar actually turned his gaze to John at this moment.

As an experienced Beast Guard captain, he trusted a student who was visiting the Alternate Dimension for the first time.

But the others remained silent, also casting trusting glances.

John's contract spirit wasn't strong, but his judgment was incredibly accurate.

John replied, "Make the Claw Wolf break free. If it fails, withdraw it immediately!"

John's expression was serious, focusing intently on the battlefield.

Caspar nodded. The Claw Wolf swung its claws, continuously slashing at the Ice Rabbit's abdomen.

As the temperature dropped further, the Claw Wolf finally broke free from underneath it.

But at this moment, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of the Ice Rabbit's mouth.

The temperature dropped to the extreme, and the Claw Wolf's body became extremely stiff, unable to escape the skill's range.

Caspar clenched his fists, ready to withdraw the Claw Wolf and start the escape plan again.

"Leave it to me!" John suddenly spoke up.

Caspar was slightly stunned, showing hesitation in his eyes, but ultimately chose to trust him.

If it took the hit head-on, the Claw Wolf might die on the spot.

Contract spirits were extremely important to Beast Tamers. If Caspar had lost a contract spirit, his power would have been halved instantly. Even if he had become a Silver Level Beast Tamer, his strength would still have been a third weaker than his peers at the same rank.

This would be a permanent weakening, something no Beast Tamer would be able to accepted.

The Ice Rabbit Lord's eyes were filled with violent killing intent, and the temperature continued to drop, nearing the critical point.

The Golden Slime appeared again!

The Ice Rabbit Lord thought, 'It's you again, perfect. I'll destroy all of you.'

The Ice Rabbit Lord looked excited, knowing that the Slime was the contract spirit of its most hated person.

But the Golden Slime's speed was unusually fast, like a small train rushing in.

"Is John crazy?"

Everyone looked at John in confusion. Sending the Slime into the skill's range was practically suicide, especially using a skill to rush in.

No one understood why he ordered the Slime to do that.

To everyone's surprise, the Slime didn't crash into the Ice Rabbit Lord but instead collided with the Claw Wolf.

The golden Slime, standing at 20 feet, was much larger than the Claw Wolf. It was definitely the heavyweight contender on the battlefield.

The Slime's 'Charge' skill took effect, and with the Claw Wolf not resisting at all, it was instantly knocked away.

Although it suffered some injuries, it managed to escape the Ice Rabbit Lord's skill range.

This made the Ice Rabbit Lord furious. Its carefully planned skill had been thwarted.

The Slime's big eyes looked extremely innocent, with a dumbfounded expression.

"Damn!" the Ice Rabbit Lord roared viciously.

But the next moment, the Golden Slime instantly disappeared, forcibly withdrawn into the Beast Taming space.

Beast Tamers could forcibly withdraw contract spirits, which was essentially an invincible skill. If used well, it could be very powerful.

In an instant, under the moonlight, ice crystals bloomed like translucent snow lotuses, but they were filled with deadly intent.

Within the terrifying range of several dozen feet, the temperature plummeted to extreme lows.

Everyone shivered in unison.

The ice crystals dissipated, and the Ice Rabbit Lord's ultimate move ended.

"Everyone, attack it now!"

Caspar's expression was excited. The contract spirits charged forward, led by the Claw Wolf and successfully killed it.

A lord-level beast had fallen!

Ridley said, "We did it! We really did it! John, did you see that? Did you see that?"

Ridley was excited, shaking John's shoulders repeatedly.

"It's only a few dozen feet away from me; of course, I can see it!"

John looked speechless, thinking Ridley was overreacting.

Caspar said, "Hurry! Everyone, gather the spoils and leave quickly!"

Caspar appeared calm. Whether they encountered other beasts or Beast Guards, a crisis could erupt. A lord-level beast was worth at least several million Stellar Coins, naturally tempting people to take risks.

Caspar said, "Edmund, dissect the Ice Hare Lord's body."

The Ice RabbitLord was about 14 feet tall, impossible to carry entirely, especially with the base being about three days away. By then, the flesh would have rotted.

Edmund held a dissection knife, clearly made of special material, easily cutting it apart.

The Ice Rabbit Lord's Beast Taming Pearl could significantly enhance Beast-Taming power, and its blue eyes had a chance to let contract spirits learn the innate skill 'Ice Ball.'

This change was much bigger than that of a mutant-level beast, but it wasn't guaranteed.

The others quickly cleaned up the battlefield and decisively left.

John secretly took a small piece of the rabbit's head, intending to hand it over to the Beast Tamer Association to complete the task.

As everyone left, the surroundings fell back into the silent night.

"John, how did you predict the ice arrow's trajectory?"

They found a hollow tree in which to spend the night.

Caspar asked, puzzled. The most impressive thing wasn't John thinking of using the 'Charge' skill to save the Claw Wolf.

But his earlier command for the Slime to suppress the rapidly flying ice arrow. Otherwise, that strike would have rendered the Claw Wolf unable to fight.

"I predicted it." John sighed. "It's called talent."

For a moment, everyone was speechless but didn't argue.

Whether it was his strong predictive ability or his calmness under pressure, he was better than everyone else.

"You really are a genius," finally, Caspar said, and everyone nodded in agreement.

John raised an eyebrow, wondering if they were complimenting or insulting him.
