The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

“Rajan has learned the “Soul Link’ technique; Rishab is in trouble now. Let’s see how he fights now,” said the commentator.

“This soul link is different from the normal ‘Soul Link.’ His contract beast is using music to enter the flow state, where his focus and concentration are greatly increased. He also enjoys it, which will strengthen the ‘soul link’. As expected of Rajan, he is really talented. It is now very hard for Rishab to make a comeback,” said Anjali.

“No, I don’t think so, Anjali. Rishab is also a very capable fighter; he will not give up this easily,” said the commentator.

Rishab looked at the battle and started thinking of solutions. His passive skill, ‘enhanced focus,’ activated as he started thinking of different solutions. He closed his eyes and forgot about everything else; He suddenly remembered that he had faced a similar situation when his guild fought against the orc leader.

He suddenly came up with a solution. He commanded, “Sheru, use ‘dash’ and ‘extreme speed’ to increase your agility and approach him.”

With the boosts from two skills, Sheru became very fast. He appeared on the back of the Boxing Frog and used a claw attack. Rajan commanded his contract beast to use the ‘Counter’ skill to block the attack. Just as Sheru’s attack was about to land, Rishi commanded, “Sheru break his headphones and retreat.”

Sheru changed his target and attacked the headphone. Boxing Frog’s all four arms were on his chest to block Sheru, because of which he was unable to protect his headphone.

Sheru’s claw landed on the headphones, which broke apart, and two holes became visible to everyone. They were Boxing Frog’s ears, and he was paralyzed. He continued staring at the destroyed headphones and stomped on the ground in anger.

“As expected of Rishab, he really found the solution very fast, but why do I feel a danger vibe from the boxing frog?” said the commentator.

“I also feel that it is getting stronger than before because of the strange orange light coming out of its body,” commented Anjali.

Rishi was also not able to understand what was happening; he was even more confused when he saw Rajan’s lips curled up in a grin. The tattoos on the body of Boxing Frog lit up in orange light and started shining.

Rajan said, “Rishab, you are very cunning, but this time you have touched something you shouldn’t have; his headphones do not connect Bean and me. That was a gift given by me to him.”

“Rishab, be prepared; now you will feel our rage,” said Rajan in a cold voice as an orange aura started appearing around him. This was the ‘enrage’ skill that increased the stats of the user by many times in exchange for depleting his stamina and a temporary weakness debuff.

It was the racial skill of Boxing Frog, but due to the link Rajan was also affected by the emotions of Boxing Frog; he could feel the anger of his contract beast.

The Boxing Frog made a huge sound, jumped at Sheru, and started punching him. Sheru tried to dodge, but he was getting hit many times.𝒩𝑜𝗏𝞮𝐋𝒏𝖾xt.𝓬𝑶𝑚

Rishi saw the situation and commanded, “Sheru, use the ‘harden’ skill.”

Sheru used the ‘harden’ skill, and his defense increased; Boxing Frog’s many attacks landed on Sheru’s body, injuring him even more. Rishi was not able to think of any solution that could change the course of the battle.

He then also commanded Sheru to dodge attacks and counterattack; there were only fifteen seconds left, and Sheru was still able to fight due to his high defense and HP recovery. Rajan needed to win, so he decided to end the battle with combos.

He commanded Boxing Frog to use ‘Bullet Punch’ when Sheru used the ‘harden’ skill to defend, and then Rajan asked Boxing Frog to use ‘Upper Cut’ and throw Sheru in the air.

Rishi was unable to predict this attack. One hand of the Boxing Frog started shining in blue light, and he bent down a little before attacking Sheru from below and throwing him in the air.

Rajan smiled and asked his contract beast to use ‘Aqua Jet’ and approach Sheru before using ‘Twister Fist’ to end the battle. A water hurricane started surrounding Boxing Frog’s body as he jumped at the landing position of Sheru; after landing, he used ‘Twister Fist,’ and the water element started compressing and spinning around Boxing Frog’s right hand.

“Rishab’s contract beast is in trouble; this unexpected ‘Upper Cut’ has caught him off-guard, and the next skill he used is ‘Aqua Jet,’ which lets the user dash towards the opponent while his attack is active. Damage is increased, and his next water attack’s damage is also increased, ‘Twister Fist’ is a skill that could be charged to deal more damage. I think Rajan wants to end this battle in one move,” said the commentator.

“I thought this match would be a draw, but now it looks like Rajan will be the winner; Rishab would have defeated him if he had experience fighting against a beast tamer with ‘Soul Link’ or if he himself had learned the ‘Soul Link’ technique,” said Anjali.

Just as Sheru was about to touch the ground and Boxing Frog’s punch was about to land on him, Rishi commanded, “Sheru, use the ‘Sheild of the Emperor.’ “

A white light appeared before Sheru and formed a giant shield before him. Rajan saw that, but he believed that any defensive skill would not block the fully charged ‘Twister Fist’ with an attack damage boost.

The fist of Boxing Frog, covered in a fast-moving small cyclone, hit the shield of Sheru. A huge explosion took place, a bright light was released, Boxing Frog was thrown back by the recoil, and the ‘soul link’ was severed. When the dust settled, everyone couldn’t believe what they saw: Sheru was still standing with a huge silver shield in front of him.

Rishi sighed and commanded, ” Sheru to use the ‘Dash’ skill to approach him before attacking him with ‘Tiger Claw’ and ‘Metal Claw.’ ” Rajan also saw this and asked Boxing Frog to retreat, but just as he was about to dodge, he saw Sheru using Dash and getting close to him.

Rishi saw this and commanded, “Sheru, use ‘Extreme Speed’ to catch him and finish the battle.”

Rajan also instructed Boxing Frog to use his ‘counter’ skill to block Sheru’s attack.

Sheru used ‘Extreme Speed’ and dashed at the opponent a second time. In between, he used ‘Tiger Claw,’ and his claws started shining in red. He didn’t stop there and used ‘Metal Claw,’ which increased the size of his right claw.

Metal Claw was the skill that increased his damage by three times and gave Sheru a fifty percent defense penetration, but after maxing it out, a new effect was added. It now marked a part of the opponent’s body with a red mark, and if Sheru’s attack lands on that spot, it will be a critical hit, which will do an extra five times damage.

Sheru’s eyes shone in a golden glow while in the air, he saw the red cross mark on the gut of the boxing frog.

Everyone held their breaths when they saw a black tiger jumping at the boxing frog with his big metallic right claw shining red. The claw landed on the gut, and Sheru’s claw pierced through it.

As Sheru took out his claw, a fountain of green blood could be seen; the blood was flowing as if floodgates at a dam were opened. The Boxing Frog cried in agony before he fell backward and fainted, which activated the barrier.

A silence descended on the arena; everyone was speechless. No one predicted that when they thought the match was over and Rishab would lose, he did what he is known for, doing something out of the box.

One guy started clapping; others followed him and cheered; everyone cheered for both Rajan and Rishab. This was the first time the crowd cheered for both participants; the barrier was removed, and Sheru jumped on Rishi, making him fall backward before licking his face.

Rishi also patted him and rubbed his back, saying, “You have done well, Sheru.”

Rajan entered the ground and touched his contract beast that had moist eyes; he was sad about losing the match and his headphones. Rajan comforted him, “You fought well; it was my mistake; I didn’t calculate that he might have such a powerful defensive skill. As for the headphones, you are the one to blame; I asked you every time not to enter the fight with them.”

Tears started to flood out of the Boxing Frog’s eyes; he really liked those headphones. Rajan first applied a big bandage to his contract beast’s wound before giving him a headphone. “Take it, and don’t enter a fight again with it.”

The tears of Boxing Frog stopped. It looked at the broken pieces of his headphone on the ring before he pushed away Rajan’s hand and started crying again.

Rajan patted him and said, “This is the real one; the one you wore before was fake. I always knew something like this would happen, so I exchanged your headphones before every fight.” The eyes of Boxing Frog lit up; He picked up the headphones with shaky hands before wearing them and passing out with a smile.

Raajan smiled and summoned it back into the ‘Book of Contracts’ before looking at Rishi, who had also summoned Sheru back and was looking at him. They both approached each other before Rajan brought his hand in front for a handshake.

After they shook hands, Rajan said, “It was a nice match; I made a big mistake by underestimating you when I was in the lead.”

“I was just lucky; I only had one chance to win, which I used to secure my win,” said Rishab.

“Don’t be so happy; I will soon challenge you again and defeat you,” said Rajan before he turned and started leaving.

“I will wait,” said Rishi before leaving the battle arena.
