Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 342 The Ultimate Pet
After experiencing a "rebirth after a catastrophe", the level has dropped by at least one level. Ebola's speed is naturally not as fast as when it was in good condition. Even as a bystander, I can clearly notice that its movement and dodging speed has slowed down a bit. When it uses the ability of "instant teleportation", its movements are not as coherent as before, giving people a feeling of being done in one go, and the connection is slightly stagnant. Although it is still much stronger than when Ebola was a level 10 intermediate and advanced destruction knight, it probably won't have any impact under normal circumstances. However, now it is facing the mysterious and extremely powerful chief judge who has the "sky punishment" skill to help it fight alone, which brings it great pressure and forces it to deal with it with all its strength. In such an unprecedented tense situation, any change in strength will immediately have a corresponding impact on the battle situation. The weakening of his flying speed and "teleportation" ability made Ibola more disadvantaged when dealing with the chief judge's pursuit. Many of the "Heavenly Punishment" skills or undead magic attacks that he could have successfully dodged with a little effort, now seemed a little inadequate as his level was reduced by one level. He needed to make more dodging changes and consume more energy to avoid them, and he might even be swept by the aftermath and suffer certain injuries. The situation suddenly became worse and was not much better than before. Of course, there is also an advantage. At the cost of lowering the level by one level, the body is fully recovered and no longer the broken body with serious injuries before. The mental and physical strength are kept in the best state. Therefore, its new skill of being able to transform into multiple phantoms can be fully demonstrated. At critical moments, it repeatedly transforms into dozens of phantoms that are exactly the same as the real body, fleeing in different directions. Even if the chief judge has a special ability to see through the phantom of Ibola, he can't see it clearly at a glance. He can only look at it and distinguish it one by one. The more phantoms Ibola transforms, the more time it takes for the chief judge to distinguish and confirm. Before accurately determining the specific location of Ibola's real body, whether it is the "Heavenly Punishment" skill or the undead magic attack he released, he can only try to carry out all-round coverage attacks. In this way, the threat to Ebola would be relatively smaller, and he could gain a little breathing space, so that he could have more opportunities to dodge when his speed dropped slightly, and avoid suffering too much damage.
Through the previous escape, Ibola seemed to have discovered that no matter how hard it tried to fly far away, it was always restricted by the "Heavenly Punishment" skill that enveloped its head, and it could not fully exert its speed advantage to escape the pursuit of the chief referee. Most of the time, it was under the direct threat of the chief referee. It tried every means, but still could not get rid of such an extremely unfavorable situation. It was useless to run fast blindly, which was just wasting more of its own energy, and it was not conducive to Ibola accurately judging the attack trajectory of the "Heavenly Punishment" skill and making timely and effective dodges. Many times, the escape actions seemed too blind and could not help it avoid more injuries. Therefore, Ibola no longer raced with the chief referee for a long distance, and began to use a roundabout way to circle around the chief referee in a relatively stable manner, so as to save energy and strive to last longer. This also allowed me to transform into a bat and catch up, keeping a close eye on the progress of the "Ultimate Catastrophe", so that I wouldn't be delayed in the end because Ibola escaped too far and was out of my direct control.
Yibo La used the newly acquired skills to create phantoms that could fly around and perform different actions, which greatly helped it. Although these phantoms only had the shape of the original body, except for the same speed as the original body, they did not have the slightest attack and defense ability. As long as they were touched by the outside attack, they would immediately turn into nothingness. However, they were superior in number. At least dozens of them could be created each time, and they could perform various actions, which was quite confusing. Moreover, they seemed to be able to release and retract at will, and they could be used quickly without any signs. Once the chief judge saw through his true form, the phantoms he created would lose the effect of luring and confusing the enemy. Yibo La would quickly retract all the phantoms that had not been destroyed by the attack and still existed, merge them with his true body, and then immediately create dozens of new phantoms to confuse the chief judge's attack once again. It was mainly relying on this method, coupled with some help from the possessed Xiaobai, that Ibola was able to repeatedly escape the joint attack of the chief referee and the "Heavenly Punishment" skill, and persisted without being seriously injured or even killed.
Time passed by minute by minute. The gap in strength between Ebola and the Chief Judge who had the "Heavenly Punishment" skill to help him was still too great. Although he had tried his best to dodge, his speed advantage was restrained. Even his "teleportation" was often interrupted by large-scale attack skills, making it difficult to escape the Chief Judge's pursuit. From the beginning, Ebola was unable to fight back and could only passively dodge and take beatings. Naturally, his situation was extremely unfavorable. He was completely forced into a disadvantage and continued to suffer injuries. His injuries were getting worse and worse. The number of phantoms he could create to confuse the Chief Judge was also getting smaller and smaller. It could be said that to make matters worse, the Chief Judge quickly saw through his true identity, causing him to suffer more injuries. Seeing that he had been forced into a life-or-death situation, Ibola had no choice but to repeat his old trick and ran into a relatively smaller attack, sacrificing his life once again. Through the ability of "rebirth after disaster", he lowered his level by one level, but in return he was fully restored to his original level and was able to continue to persevere, trying his best to survive the twelve-hour pursuit limit set by the chief judge.
I can only summon Xiaobai twice a day. This time, I can't summon Xiaobai again. I can only fight alone. The dangerous situation makes me tremble with fear. I am more and more worried that Yibo La will not be able to survive the test of the chief judge and die tragically under his attack. After seeing the might of the chief judge, I dare not rush forward to help Yibo La directly. It will not only be useless and fail to save Yibo La, but I may also lose myself and cause the chief judge's hostility or even attack. Such an all-encompassing and almost perverted "Heavenly Punishment" skill, as well as the endless attack methods and means, are simply not something that I, a ninth-level professional necromancer, can face head-on. Therefore, I don't have the slightest idea of standing up for Yibo La. I can only sit aside and watch the development of the war, praying that Yibo La will not disappoint me and successfully survive the pursuit of the chief judge, but I dare not stand up rashly and cause unpredictable right and wrong.
Although without Xiaobai's help, Ibola's speed, which had been reduced by two levels, was further reduced, and even the use of the "teleportation" ability was not smooth enough. Under the attack of the chief judge and the "heavenly punishment" skill, it seemed even more unbearable, but fortunately, more than half of the twelve-hour time limit had passed, and after dodging for several hours before, I was slightly familiar with the various attack methods and means of the "heavenly punishment" skill. After adapting, it was relatively easier to dodge. Under extremely unfavorable circumstances, I still managed to hold on for twelve hours. Although I was severely injured and covered with scars, I did not die at the hands of the chief judge. Finally, my daily "big fish and meat" was not in vain. As the test time limit of the last level of the "ultimate heavenly tribulation" was exceeded, the chief judge stopped, and the "heavenly punishment" skill dissipated. I don't know what he whispered to Ibola again, and then a portal appeared in the air. The chief judge turned around and walked in and disappeared.
The "ultimate heavenly tribulation" has finally ended. Ibola has successfully passed the tests of "Ice and Thunder" and the "human tribulation" of the chief judge, and has truly evolved into the ultimate knight of destruction at the level of a holy beast. However, what I am facing is not over yet. Ibola's evolution is only the first step I want to achieve. There is another more important thing to do next, which is to sign a "pet contract" with Ibola according to my long-planned plan, and subdue it to become my last ultimate pet. Originally, I preferred Wu Ma. It received my full support from the beginning. Its qualifications were better than Ebola. After evolving into the Ultimate Destruction Knight, its strength should be even stronger. It is most suitable as my ultimate pet. However, Wu Ma started late, and it will take a long time for it to evolve into the Ultimate Destruction Knight. "Tianxia Yi" has entered its late stage. Both the Light NPCs and Light players are getting stronger and stronger, and they are about to be promoted to the tenth level of profession. It will be more helpful to me to have a holy beast-level Ultimate Destruction Knight as a pet earlier. I don't want to wait any longer. After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, I finally decided to seize the opportunity in front of me first, and conquer the advanced Ebola as my pet, so that my combat effectiveness can be improved to a higher level as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if Ibora has evolved into the Ultimate Destruction Knight of the Holy Beast level, I can only summon a tenth-level upper-level undead subordinate with my mental power, and I still can't cast the "Undead Summoning" magic to successfully summon Ibora to the human world to fight. I'm afraid I have to wait until I advance to the tenth-level profession and get a few more pieces of equipment with more mental power attributes to be able to do it. I have the powerful combat power of Ibora, but I still can't use it. That's not the result I want. Only by taming Ibora as a pet, and only consuming 10% of my mental power to summon it to fight, is the most practical, which can help me a lot now.
Of course, it would not be as easy to subdue Ebola, who had evolved into the Ultimate Destruction Knight, as my pet as it was to subdue other undead creatures as pets. First of all, the Ultimate Destruction Knight was a holy beast, and the "pet contract" with it was only the "pet scroll" of the ninth level profession. Even if it was strengthened by the alchemist in a special way, it could only subdue a pet of the tenth level to sign a "pet contract" with the Ultimate Destruction Knight of the higher level of holy beast. Even if the "soul contract" had been signed as a basis, the mental resistance would be reduced, and the difficulty was still great. It was not easy to succeed. What was more troublesome was the special nature of Ebola. As the "undead public enemy" Destruction Knight, it needed to go through the test of the "ultimate calamity" after completing its evolution. Only after passing it safely could it become the real Ultimate Destruction Knight. Before this, not only would the "soul contract" signed with me be temporarily isolated, but according to the relevant rules, it would be impossible for me to take this opportunity to sign a "pet contract" with it as I had previously imagined. Once the "pet contract" was successfully signed and it became my pet, Ibola would become an immortal being. Even if it died under the "ultimate calamity", as long as I was willing to permanently consume 3% of the upper limit of my mental power, I could revive it, which made the test of the "calamity" lose its original function and could no longer restrict the evolution of the Knight of Destruction. The system settings are really watertight, and there is not even a loophole for me to exploit. Fortunately, I had asked the tenth-level Undead Wizard NPC in advance about the relevant matters of signing a "Pet Contract" with the Ultimate Destruction Knight, and knew about this situation. Otherwise, according to my original idea, it would be difficult to sign a "Pet Contract" with Ibora at the moment when she was about to complete her evolution and break out of the cocoon to tame her and make her my pet. If I discovered this at the last minute, I would be too passive and would probably lose the opportunity to sign a "Pet Contract" with Ibora.
Basically, all normal undead creatures can be subdued by our Undead Wizards as pets after meeting the relevant conditions, even the Destruction Knight, who is the "public enemy of the undead", is no exception, but the timing of signing the "pet contract" is slightly different. According to the guidance of the tenth-level Undead Wizard NPC, it is only when Ibora successfully withstands the test of the "ultimate catastrophe" and becomes the real Ultimate Destruction Knight that we can sign a "pet contract" with it. At that moment, it has just become the real Ultimate Destruction Knight, and there will be a short recovery and adjustment period. It is a good opportunity to subdue it as a pet. With the effectiveness of the "soul contract" that has been restored, the possibility of signing a successful contract will be greater. Especially for Ibora, who has evolved to the level of a holy beast, its level has been reduced by at least two levels due to its immortal ability of "rebirth after catastrophe". Although it will not have a significant weakening effect on its mental resistance, it is not completely without effect. At least it will make my ability to control it through the "soul contract" relatively stronger, and my basic mental power attribute has reached a relatively high level of Super Silver Level 2, which can further increase the success rate of the "pet contract", making it more likely that I will successfully subdue Ibora and make him my ultimate pet.
Seizing the brief moment when Ibola had survived the "ultimate catastrophe" and truly evolved into the ultimate knight of destruction, I rushed to its side, took out the "level nine enhanced pet scroll", and began to sign a "pet contract" with it in trepidation, while trying my best to strengthen the control effect of the "soul contract" and weaken its mental resistance, in order to further increase the chance of successfully conquering it as a pet. Although the object of conquest is the ultimate knight of destruction at the level of holy beast, I am not very sure, but fortunately now I have two powerful pets, Taotao and Shaman. One has evolved into a level 10 upper-level hell dragon, and may also get involved in the throne of the hell dragon king, which is also at the level of holy beast. The other has been promoted to the first blood-sucking fang prince of the middle level of the tenth level, and can merge with the other three blood-sucking fang princes to become the blood-sucking fang emperor. Compared with other top players, I will not suffer at least in terms of pets, and I have more capital to dare to let go and try to sign a "pet contract" with the ultimate knight of destruction at the level of holy beast.
Maybe it was because my basic mental power attribute of reaching the Super Silver Second Level was high enough, or maybe it was because the mental compatibility between me and Ibola, who had been reduced by two levels, was a little higher, or maybe it was because I was just lucky this time. After three attempts, I finally succeeded in signing a "pet contract" with Ibola. Although the process was quite thrilling, the result was ideal. I achieved my goal and subdued the holy beast-level Ibola to become my ultimate pet.
After I subdued Ibora and made him my pet, I was most concerned about his strength. He had evolved into the Ultimate Destruction Knight and was my first Holy Beast-level undead subordinate. I was naturally eager to know how powerful he was and how much help he could provide me. I checked Ibora's attribute data and found that he had reached a Holy Beast level higher than level 10. And just as I had seen before, he had the wind attribute and had the ability to perform "teleportation". Although it was not as smooth and proficient as the "teleportation" ability after the demon spirit Xiaobai possessed him, it further enhanced his strength and helped him survive the fierce attack of the chief judge in the last period of time without Xiaobai's possession. At the same time, he swallowed so many undead ghost phoenixes and accumulated enough "undead power" to allow Ibora to perform "rebirth after catastrophe" twice. Like Wu Ma, he could also combine the two "rebirth after catastrophe" abilities into one to avoid being reduced by two levels at a time due to too much damage - even if the fatal blow was severely damaged, it would only be reduced by one level.
