Beast Taming Star Journey

Chapter 404

The behemoth's eyes flashed purple light once more, and an intense sense of oppression instantly enveloped the entire battlefield. My terrifying suspicion grew clearer: this purple light was a sign that it was gathering energy!

"Quick! Everyone scatter!" I roared, pushing Su Yao away with all my might.

Almost simultaneously, the behemoth let out a deafening roar, and a beam of purple light shot from its eyes, instantly leveling our position. If I hadn't given the warning in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Cough cough..." Su Yao clutched her chest and struggled to get up from the ground. "Nong Yu, what... what should we do?"

I looked around. My already dwindling allies were now in even worse shape, their morale shattered. The Iridium Beastmaster looked utterly desperate, the Platinum Strategist frowned deeply, and even the usually brave Gold Youth showed a look of fear.

Is this really the end?

No! I will never admit defeat!

Various thoughts raced through my mind, and suddenly, a possibility occurred to me. My cheat ability allows me to form equal contracts with beasts and share their power. So, if I form contracts with multiple beasts simultaneously, could I gain even greater power?

With that thought in mind, I immediately took action. I closed my eyes, concentrated, and sensed the aura of all the beasts around me. One, two, three... more and more beasts responded to my call, their power flowing continuously into my body. I felt as if I had become a giant energy container, my body filled with surging power.

"Roar!" I roared, concentrating this powerful force into a visible energy wave that shot directly toward the dark behemoth.

The energy wave collided with the behemoth's purple beam of light, producing a deafening roar. The entire battlefield trembled, dust billowed, and the sky was obscured.

I stared intently at the center of the impact, my heart filled with anticipation and tension. This was my last hope!

As the dust gradually settled, I saw that the giant beast's purple beam of light was being suppressed little by little by my energy wave, and finally dissipated completely.

"We did it!" the gold-plated boy shouted excitedly.

Before I could even feel happy, I saw the giant beast's eyes flash purple light again, this time even more dazzling and terrifying than before.

"It...it's attacking again!" the Mercury Messenger cried out in terror.

I took a deep breath, preparing to launch another attack, when I heard a familiar voice in my ear:

"Nongyu, let me help you!"

Su Yao's voice, like a clear spring, pierced the oppressive air of the battlefield. "Nong Yu! You can do it!" Her shout was full of strength, her eyes brimming with trust and love, like a ray of light illuminating the confusion in my heart. I felt a warm current flow through my body, and my weary body was filled with strength once again.

I focused my mind again, channeling all the power of my beast-taming abilities to prepare for the next wave of attacks from the behemoth. But just then, a sudden change occurred. The beast tamed by the Metal-Iridium Beast Tamer, the previously docile giant bear, suddenly let out a shrill roar, its eyes turning blood red. It struggled frantically, its muscles bulging as if about to explode.

"What's going on?!" the Beastmaster cried out in terror, desperately trying to control his beast, but all in vain. The giant bear broke free and began attacking its allies.

"Oh no! Its tamed beast has been affected by dark power!" Jinbo strategist's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly directed everyone to take cover.

This sudden turn of events made the already precarious situation even worse. While fending off the giant beast's attacks, I also had to deal with the out-of-control bear, and for a time I felt overwhelmed.

"Nong Yu, watch out!" Su Yao's voice came again. I instinctively dodged to the side. A black energy ball grazed my body and blasted a huge crater in the ground.

A chill ran down my spine; if I were hit, the consequences would be unimaginable. I looked at the behemoth; its eyes flashed with an even more terrifying purple light, as if mocking my powerlessness.

"Damn it!" I gritted my teeth, once again mobilizing all the power within me to engage in a desperate battle with the giant beast.

Despite inflicting some damage on the dark behemoth, it remained standing. Its massive body cast a huge shadow on the battlefield, like an insurmountable mountain. I sensed that it was gathering its strength, preparing to launch an even more ferocious attack.

“Nong Yu, its aura… has become even stronger!” Su Yao’s voice trembled slightly.

I looked up and saw the dark behemoth's body begin to swell, the surrounding dark power surging towards it like a tide, greedily absorbed by it. The aura it emitted grew increasingly terrifying, so oppressive that I could barely breathe.

The golden-haired boy ran to my side, his face pale, and pointed at the giant beast in terror, saying, "It...it seems to be..."

Before he could finish speaking, the dark behemoth suddenly let out a deafening roar, causing the entire earth to tremble. It opened its blood-red maw, and a ball of black energy condensed within it, radiating a destructive aura.

I felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, as if death had already arrived...

"Oh no! It's going to..."
