Chapter 94: The Decisive Battle!

Upon hearing those words, an ominous feeling struck Old Man White!

‘Could he… Could he actually be Locke?’

Locke’s unscathed appearance had proven that the outcome of the match had already been decided! After all, there should not be any survivors in a life-or-death duel!

“Where… Where are my sons? Answer me!!” Old Man White’s eyes were spewing flames.

Locke shrugged and gave him a cryptic smile.

Old Man White mind went blank, and his body trembled as he crumpled onto the ground.

He knew what Locke meant.

“Alva… Moto…” Old Man White muttered their names a few times. However, he raised his head soon after, and his gaze had regained its former regal air.

Although he had lost more than half of his bloodline, the fact still remained that he had defeated Hobrick!

Technically speaking, a huge obstacle to his plan had been cleared.

Moreover, Locke was just a student. Old Man White was confident that he could defeat him!

“Three of my sons have died by your hands. I must avenge them by taking your head!”

Old Man White roared angrily, and in response, his fusion beast immediately returned to his side!

“Oh is this a fusion beast? It looks pretty strong. How about this? Hand over the technique to me and I’ll spare your life.” Although Locke had said the words with a smile, his tone was dripping with killing intent.

Being the proud noble he was, Old Man White was greatly offended by Locke’s words!

“You’ll pay for killing my sons!”

The fusion beast opened its mouth and spat out a fireball wrapped in lightning!

This had given Hobrick, who was watching from afar, quite a fright!

Although the fireball was very fast, Locke had effortlessly evaded it with the help of his Gale Wings.

However, the hill behind was not so lucky. It had been completely crushed by the fusion beast’s attack!

Without waiting for Locke to regain his bearings, the fusion beast shot forward like a bolt of lightning!

Since there was no time to dodge, Locke decided to intercept his opponent’s claws with his fist instead!

Thud!

A dull thud rang out, and the fusion beast involuntarily took a few steps back.

Old Man White’s eyes were filled with disbelief!

“How… How is this possible?” He was surprised by how calm Locke looked!

His fusion beast was supposed to be unbelievably strong!

Not even Hobrick had dared to take it on without a plan!

However, the little brat before him had repelled his fusion beast with just a single punch!

‘What terrifying power!’

Old Man White finally realized why all four of his sons had fallen prey to the kid’s hand!

“I’ll admit that you’re rather skilled! However, your luck has run out!”

Old Man White was no longer in the mood for games. He wanted to annihilate Locke and Hobrick in a single move!

The lightning on the fusion beast’s body ran rampant! They struck at the surrounding trees indiscriminately!

The temperature and intensity of its flames had increased as well!

Under Old Man White’s orders, the fusion beast was accumulating energy to enter its enhanced state!

Meanwhile, the punch he had launched earlier had enabled him to check the fusion beast’s stats.

[ Battle Beast Name: Fusion Fire and Thunder Beast ]

[ Battle Beast Grade: Rose Gold Divine Rank ]

[ Battle Beast Attributes: Electric, Fire ]

[ Battle Beast Type: Combat-type Battle Beast[1] ]

[ Battle Beast Skill: Hellfire (passive), Lightning Armor (passive) , Hell Shred, Violent Soundwave. ]

[ Battle Beast Level: Stage 2, Level 2. ]

Locke scratched his nose and commented, “I see, it’s a divine rank as well. No wonder it looks so strong! Plus, you’ve even raised the level of your Battle Beasts upon fusion! I have to learn this skill!”

If an ordinary Beastmaster were to discover that he was facing a Stage 2 divine rank Battle Beast, they would have wet their pants and beg for mercy.

However, Locke was no ordinary Beastmaster!

Old Man White’s fusion beast was only a Stage 2, Level 2 beast, whereas Lil’ White and the others were at Stage 2 and above!

Locke’s only concern in the battle was to glean the information of the Beast Fusion from Old Man White.

However, upon realizing how furious Old Man White looked, Locke doubted that he would get the chance to learn the skill.

‘In that case, let’s just end this battle quickly!’

Locke mentally called out to Lil’ White. Then, he teleported to the fusion beast’s side and swung down Infinite Fire Element who had transformed into a battle axe!

“Clang! !”

A metallic clang rang out!

Upon noticing that the fusion beast’s arrow-tipped tail was able to contend against Infinite Fire Element, Locke’s interest in the fusion skill was piqued even further!

He decided to test the fusion beast’s strength!

The melee battle lasted for more than ten minutes. Although the fusion beast became bolder as it fought, it did not gain any advantage over Locke.

Old Man White was also drenched in sweat. He had never seen anyone who could engage a fusion beast in hand-to-hand combat!

It was a surreal experience!

“Alright, I’ve finished assessing your strength. You can leave now…” Satisfied with the conclusions from his testing, Locke then hurled the fusion beast back with a single kick.

“Roar! !”The fusion beast’s was still not satisfied, and the moment it was separated from Locke, it immediately fired off two electro fireballs!

After effortlessly dodging them, Locke shouted, “Lil’ White! Light and Dark Spatial Slash!”

“Hiss…”

The twin-headed snake’s eyes flashed red again. The difference this time, however, was that it had launched more than one or two ice wheels!

It had launched nearly twenty ice wheels!

Faced against the ice wheels that encompassed a wide range, the agile fusion beast had nowhere to hide!

Moreover, the Light and Dark Spatial Slash that was imbued with three elements was abnormally fast!

Old Man White hurriedly ordered his fusion beast to defend him!

Locke shook his head. The fight was over.

One of Light and Dark Spatial Slash’s abilities was to freeze its enemies.

In that moment, Old Man White had been frozen solid together with his fusion beast!

His eyes that were seething with rage a moment ago were no longer moving!

Moreover, the flames in the valley had begun to disappear, and the weather had also begun to improve. Everything began to quiet down.

Locke then transformed Infinite Fire Element into a blazing hammer.

Without an ounce of hesitation, Locke brought his hammer down on the chunk of ice!

“Crash… !”

The sound of ice breaking could be heard.

Old Man White and his greedy ambition had finally come to an end!

With a sigh, Locke then walked towards the gratified Hobrick. He smiled and said, “I’m sorry, principal. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to bury your old friend normally. Let’s erect a tombstone for him instead!”

“Hmph! Why would I do that?”

The principal and student exchanged cheeky smiles with one another.
