The Demonic Elephant was gigantic, triple the size of Scarlet. Scarlet has an average size of many demonic beasts at the intermediate level, usually twice as tall as the average human. However, the gigantic elephant was more than 10 meters tall, showing how massive and intimidating its size was. Even Mr. Bison was only half its height.
The elephant, with each step reverberating through the ground, exuded a sense of unyielding strength. Its thick hide was a fortress, capable of resisting any physical attacks. Even the violent gust attack from the flamingo could only dream of hurting it. It would be hard to imagine the absolute unit being defeated.
Mars Venus had seen both of Scarlet's fights. He knew Scarlet was extremely smart, so he decided to fight her with an absolute tank. Her attacks wouldn't be able to pierce through its thick hide. As for drowning his spirit beast in the pond like the Demonic Stag Beetle? Not a chance, because it could swim and its trunk was long enough to reach the surface.
Mars was confident he would win this fight. Unless Scarlet unlocked her bloodline out of nowhere and could use bloodline magical abilities, it would be impossible to defeat his Demonic Elephant.
Only demonic beasts that had reached the Commander level were able to unlock their bloodline. A demonic beast at the low, intermediate, and high levels was simply too weak to receive their bloodline power yet.
After confirming that both spirit beasts were ready, the announcer started the battle.
Unlike the previous matches, Scarlet took the initiative to attack first this time. She blitzed behind the elephant and attacked it fiercely. However, as expected, its thick hide was like a barrier, deflecting any attempt from the red fox to pierce it with claws or fangs.
Scarlet, nimble and quick, circled the behemoth cautiously, searching for an opening, a weakness in the armored exterior of its adversary.
Again and again, she launched agile attacks, aiming for vulnerable spots around the elephant's eyes and trunk. Yet, each strike met with the unyielding resistance of the elephant's toughened skin. Occasionally, Scarlet skillfully evaded left and right as she dodged the retaliatory swipes of the elephant's trunk.
"Hohoho! Looks like the red fox can't do anything to my Haathee. When it becomes tired, I'll win easily! A nobody can never compete with a real beast tamer with deep heritage." Mars talked to himself smugly.
He looked down on cultivators who managed to tame a demonic beast by luck. Many such cases were happening all the time and they only had one spirit beast. How dare they call themselves a beast tamer when they only have one spirit beast? Ridiculous! He loathed tamers . He considered them fake.
A tournament was the best place to trample on these fake tamers. Mars glanced at Leyvi and saw his undisturbed expression.
"Heh, just watch your weak fox will be trampled soon, let's see if you can stay calm for longer," Mars muttered again.
Seeing that her attacks couldn't deal any damage, Scarlet changed her method to save energy and buy some time. She leaped onto the spacious elephant's back and tried to bury her claws inside. But unfortunately, this tactic wouldn't work this time.
Unlike the Demonic Stag Beetle, this elephant has a long trunk. It whipped its trunk backward toward Scarlet but she dodged it swiftly. The trunk whipped against its own back, producing a loud slapping sound but it didn't deal any damage. Haathee repeatedly swung its trunk to its back in an attempt to chase Scarlet away from its back and to make her tired.
While all of these were happening, Scarlet had been communicating with Leyvi.
"Boss, does the size fit?"
"Yes, it is good enough. The size is perfect."
"But I feel like it's going to be too tight."
"As long as it could enter, the tighter the better! That way it couldn't struggle much."
"Good! Boss Leyvi! The pit, the tunnel, and the huge boulder are ready! Let's finish this. I need my beauty sleep!"
"Nice! Okay Scarlet, it's time to be an actress! Let the show begin!"
Up until this moment, Scarlet was still dodging the elephant's trunk perfectly without problem but suddenly she was struck by a small part of the trunk, and she fell 20 meters away on the ground. Scarlet looked badly hurt from the attack she could hardly stand up again.
Many people were gasping from the sudden turn of events. There were many people in the audience who became her supporters and couldn't help but worry about her, especially girls who liked beautiful demonic beasts.
"Hohohoho! It's about time you die you stupid fox!" Mars was laughing loudly as he mentally ordered his Demonic Elephant to stomp Scarlet to death. Scarlet would be his third victim today.
Haathee who has never moved a single step from the start of the battle, finally took its first step.
BOOM!.... BOOM!..... BOOM!..... BOOM!... BOOM!..... BOOM!
Each step shook the arena and made the earth tremble. The water in the ponds started creating ripples after ripples.
"Shit! Please don't collapse right now!" Leyvi was getting worried.
While Leyvi was concerned about the stability of the pit and the tunnel, Scarlet was completely nonchalant about it inside. She was still pretending to be hurt on the ground trying hard to get up again.
"Hohoho! Look at his ugly face! He finally can't keep his calm! Suffer you beast tamer wannabe!" Mars was enjoying the expression Leyvi showed at the moment.
Haathee arrived in front of the struggling Demonic Red Fox. It was looking down at her menacingly as if trying to instill a final image of fear in her mind.
The next moment, it made a huge movement by standing up on its two back legs. Without a doubt, any demonic beast would die if they got stomped by this colossal Demonic Elephant.
"Noooooooooo!!" The girls in the audience were screaming when the gigantic elephant was in motion again, trying to stomp Scarlet under its massive, thick, and wide legs.
Right before Scarlet was stomped, she stopped pretending and quickly moved out of the trajectory. Haathee's stomp missed Scarlet and hit the ground, directly above the big hole she dug secretly.
Scarlet has been getting better at using her ability that she could remotely control her forcefield drill now. While she was attacking the elephant, she used her ability to dig a big hole and a tunnel with Leyvi's help.
The ground under Haathee collapsed and it fell head-first into a 30-meter-deep pit.
"What??? What's going on? How did this happen?" Mars shouted expecting someone to answer his questions.
A loud trumpet sound came from the pit soon after and the tone was panicky. It was stuck at the bottom of the pit unable to move, even with its strength, the wall wouldn't break at all.
Suddenly, a large volume of water started pouring in from a hole in the wall above the stuck elephant. It was the water from the pond flowing quickly through the tunnel Scarlet made connecting the pond and the pit.
As more and more water comes in, Haathee panicked even more. Under normal conditions, it wouldn't be afraid of water, but now, being stuck with its head down, once the water level raised above its trunk, it might drown and die.
Soon, the water level rose beyond the highest point its trunk could reach.
"Master! Please help me! I can't breathe anymore!" It mentally asked for help.
"HUH?? What do you mean by help? Come out from that stupid hole now, you stupid idiot elephant! How embarrassing!" Mars became angry instead. He doesn't believe Haathee can't destroy some earth with its strength.
"Master...help...help...." Haathee was losing consciousness but kept asking for help.
"What are you do-" Mars was about to scold it again when,
"OI STUPID! ADMIT DEFEAT YOU IDIOT!!!"
It was Leyvi. He was quite angry at this guy. It was obvious he had lost but he wouldn't admit defeat. His spirit beast was drowning right now. Does he want to let it die or something?
"Who are you calling stupid? I didn't lose yet!" Mars retorted. The source of thɪs content is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝
Leyvi shook his head. This guy is really stupid. Both he and his spirit beast panicked so much that they forgot that the demonic elephant could shrink and stop being stuck. Well, sometimes he forgot about things in critical situations too so he can't criticize much. Looks like Scarlet didn't have to do the follow-up attack.
"Leyvi Leyan wins!" The announcer declared.
"What? I haven't admitted defeat yet! Why did you declare his win?" Mars disagreed with the decision.
Suddenly an aura of a Nascent Soul realm burst out from the announcer toward Mars fiercely. He immediately fell to the ground from a huge realm difference, he was only in the Foundation Building realm after all.
"Your spirit beast had already fainted. So you lost. Do you want to disagree with my judgment again?" The announcer spoke calmly but his aura was getting heavier.
"I lost! I lost! Please forgive me!" Mars frantically apologized.
"Go retrieve your spirit beast before it's too late." The announcer said.
Mars clumsily crawled to the pit and transferred Haathee back into the spirit beast bag. After that, he ran out of the coliseum.
Wow, the announcer is a badass! Leyvi complimented in his heart.
