Shock! The Spell Is In English! - Chapter 370
Chapter 370: Austin Took the Stage
Austin’s strength increased very quickly. Apart from the resources in his family, he also had his own unique ways of nurturing the source beast.
As for Austin’s growth, Lugh was also happy for him. At the same time, a strong sense of competition was ignited in his heart. Even though Austin’s Savage Fang Hound was still lacking in terms of strength compared to Big Mouth.
After Austin summoned the Savage Fang Hound, Spender also summoned his source beast.
“Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!” Following a huge frog cry, a huge creature suddenly came from the spiritual lattice. The two-meter tall frog source beast jumped onto the stage.
The one who entered was a huge frog. Above its head, there were two pieces of horn-like cuticle. Its entire body was grayish-black, and its huge belly was bulging. Under the resonance of the air sacs in its body… It let out an exceptionally loud frog cry.
‘Horned Frog? Looks like it’s being nurtured quite well,’ Austin thought to himself as he looked at Spender’s Horned Frog. Although the Horned Frog looked very stupid and cute, Austin still didn’t show the slightest bit of carelessness.
[Race: Horned Frog]
[Attribution: Amphibian Frog Race]
[Attribute: Water]
[Innate Ability: Dynamic Perception]
[Race Quality: Low-Level Civilian]
Horned Frogs were giant frog-type source beasts, with two bull-type source beasts’ horns on their heads. Horned Frogs were widely eaten because of their short growth cycle and low breeding cost.
Their muscles were strong and resilient, and their strength was no less than that of beasts. Their mating calls were very high, and they could be seen in most aquatic environments.
Horned Frogs and Scavenger Flies were both the lowest level source beasts in the source beast world, and their combat strength was relatively weak. However, this Horned Frog of Spender’s was clearly different from the Horned Frogs in the wild. Normally, Horned Frogs were in their adult form when they were 1.5 meters long, while Spender’s Horned Frog was already two meters tall. Compared to ordinary Horned Frogs, it was much larger and stronger.
Although Horned Frogs were used as food for many people, it didn’t mean that Horned Frogs couldn’t be used to fight source beasts. On the contrary, the Horned Frogs’ physical strength was very strong, comparable to a beast source beast of the same level, coupled with its powerful jumping ability, it wasn’t as bad as it looked.
“The race quality has been raised to low-level soldier level, rank 1, level 5. It seems that you’ve nurtured the Horned Frog very well!” Austin revealed his signature honest smile as he praised Spender.
When he heard the other party’s praise, he also revealed a trace of complacency. The cold expression on his face also eased up a little as he said, “Your Savage Fang Hound is not bad either. However, you have to be careful. My Horned Frog has rarely lost!”
Although Spender was a little proud, he had the capital to be proud. To be able to raise the weak Horned Frog to such a level, other than the infusion of resources, it also proved that Spender was especially persistent towards the Horned Frog.
It should be known that a weak source beast like the Horned Frog would not be carefully nurtured. Even the civilians who had no source beast to choose from in the beginning would use the Horned Frog for a period of time before replacing it with a stronger source beast. Austin was very impressed by Spender’s persistence.
“Spender, please give me your guidance!” Austin smiled and cupped his fists.
“Same to you!” Spender replied coldly.
Spender still had quite a lot of confidence in his Horned Frog. After all, he had started to nurture the Horned Frog when it was still a tadpole. It could be said that Spender had watched it grow up.
When Spender reached the age of 16 and his spirit was fully formed, he did not hesitate to sign a contract with it. He cut through many obstacles along the way and defeated many opponents. In the end, he obtained the qualification to be a good son.
Therefore, Spender was full of confidence when facing Austin’s Savage Fang Hound. He was not afraid of the battle at all.
“Both sides are in position. Then, the battle begins!”
After the referee blew the whistle, Spender was the first to give the order, “Horned Frog, use Water Bombs!”
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
Countless water balls the size of a human fist floated next to the Horned Frog. Then, the water balls shot toward the Savage Fang Hound like arrows.
The Horned Frog’s water bullets were launched very quickly. As soon as Spender finished speaking, the water bullets had already been condensed and launched. The speed of the water bullets was the same. The speed of the water bullets was even faster than the speed of arrows shot by humans.
It was clear that Spender’s Horned Frog was very familiar with the water bullets. At least, it had reached the level of mastery.
However, the Horned Frog’s water bullets did not aim specifically. Instead, it released a large-scale water bullet attack at once, directly attacking Austin’s Savage Fang Hound.
It was clear that Spender’s first attack was not to heavily injure the enemy, but to restrict the opponent from a distance, and to force the opponent to use the source skill to deal with the water bullets.
After all, with such a dense barrage of water bullets, even the Savage Fang Hound could not easily dodge it.
“Xiao Man, Flash Attack!”
When Spender gave the order to the Horned Frog, Austin immediately gave the order to his Savage Fang Hound.
The muscles on the back legs of the Savage Fang Hound bulged, and its body flashed with a faint white light. The Savage Fang Hound leaped to the right, and its speed instantly increased, directly dodging the opponent’s large-scale water bullets.
After dodging the attack on the right, the Savage Fang Hound took advantage of the fact that the effect of the flash attack was not over yet, and directly dashed toward Spender’s Horned Frog. During the process of charging, a few electric arcs appeared on the Savage Fang Hound’s body, and the fur on its body also stood up along with the electric volts.
“Thunder Rush!”
In the next moment, the electric arcs on the Savage Fang Hound’s body jumped violently, and in an instant, a lightning curtain surrounded the front of its body. Under the support of the lightning, the Savage Fang Hound’s speed became even faster, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the Horned Frog.
Austin did not seem to want to give the opponent time to react. He directly had the Savage Fang Hound launch a fast-paced attack at the beginning.
In the next moment, the Savage Fang Hound’s origin skill, Thunder Rush, would be used on the Horned Frog. With the Horned Frog’s race water attribute and its not-so-strong defense, it might be directly struck by this Thunder Rush and lose its combat ability, after all, the Horned Frog appeared to be a little weak in people’s impression.
Just when everyone thought that the outcome was decided, the situation suddenly changed drastically!
“Hmph, the Horned Frog doesn’t need to dodge. Use Water Barrier directly, and then immediately use Bulging Belly Hardening!” Spender’s expression did not show any signs of panic. He calmly used his source energy to give the order.
The Horned Frog did not hesitate to carry out its master’s order and directly activated the water elemental energy in its body. A water barrier immediately enveloped the Horned Frog’s entire body without any blind spots.
The Horned Frog, which had used the water barrier to protect itself, let out a loud cry. Its bulging belly also grew larger. Purplish green scales gradually grew out of its originally smooth body. Not only did its body become larger… The color of its body also turned purple.
“Not good! Xiao Man, quickly disperse the electric current on your body!” Austin seemed to have seen through Spender’s plan and hurriedly shouted at the charging Savage Fang Hound.
“Too late!” Spender looked at the Savage Fang Hound that had already crashed into his Horned Frog. The corners of his mouth curled up into a proud smile.
After the electric current on the Savage Fang Hound’s body touched the Horned Frog’s water barrier, it immediately began to conduct electricity. The Horned Frog’s body was quickly damaged by the electric current from the water. However, due to the Horned Frog’s preemptive use of Bulging Belly Hardening… Even though the Horned Frog was now being attacked by the lightning attribute, it did not suffer much damage.
The Savage Fang Hound was wet after breaking through the Horned Frog’s water barrier. In the end, it was injured by its own lightning. Even though the Savage Fang Hound had already mastered the power of the lightning element, the fur on its body was dry and charred by the lightning.
Although the duration of the Bulging Belly Hardening of the Horned Frog was short, it could strengthen its own defense for a short period of time. Spender had used this source skill to successfully design Austin’s move.
“What’s going on?! It was clearly the Savage Fang Hound that attacked the Horned Frog. Why does it seem like the Savage Fang Hound’s injury is more serious now?” a contestant said with a frown.
The other contestants were also deep in thought. Obviously, they were just like this contestant. They were also very curious as to why the Savage Fang Hound’s excellent attack had heavily injured them.
On the other hand, a bright light flashed in Lugh’s eyes. It was obvious that he had thought of something.
“A bunch of idiots. Can’t you understand this? That Spender was planning to ambush the opponent when the Savage Fang Hound launched its lightning attribute attack.”
