Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1523: 427: Lin Su's Decision (Double-Length, Finale Countdown: 24)
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
Caught in a moment of helplessness, Gui Gui swiftly hoisted the massive claw positioned behind him. With a bone-chilling howl, the limb expanded instantly against the wind, reaching a staggering size of several hundred meters before lunging viciously toward the approaching flames.
Talent Skill: Shadow Ghost Claw!
The essence of the Death Rule erupted from the obsidian-colored claw in a flash, grinding fiercely against the oncoming firelight.
The two powers crashed within the void, their splashing energy transforming into violent Energy Storms. Following a piercing screech that could make one's teeth ache, both the Shadow Ghost Claw and the blaze shattered at the same time. The resulting shockwave was so fierce that it forced Gui Gui to retreat several steps.
Witnessing this, the other four were struck by involuntary shock.
Tata had executed the Fifth Movement, and its raw power had actually succeeded in repelling Gui Gui in a head-on clash.
The feat was undeniably impressive.
However, they now harbored the same confusion as Gui Gui.
What had happened to the promised retaliatory assault?
A moment later, their bewilderment was swept away. As the attack concluded, the surge of Recovery Power naturally swirled around Tata. She was instantly restored to her absolute peak, her energy reserves fully replenished after the heavy drain of performing the Divine Court Sacrificial Song Fifth Movement.
“This is the retaliation.” Tata shrugged, her expression one of pure innocence.
To strike the foe and retaliate with self-recovery.
Gui Gui: “???”
The other four: “???”
Lin Su: “???”
“Your skill…” Lin Su’s face shifted dramatically, “The effect allows you to heal yourself after you land an attack on the enemy?”
“Exactly!” Tata nodded, her face lit with excitement, “This is a passive skill; any strike I make generates a corresponding amount of recovery.”
What?!
Even though the suspicion had crossed their minds when they saw her return to her peak, hearing the confirmation from Tata herself caused the other five to immediately radiate expressions of intense envy.
Was this not the same as possessing limitless, inexhaustible power?
“Furthermore, this skill isn't just for my own recovery!” As she felt the depth of the power, her excitement grew, “The recovery produced can be directed to heal my teammates under my guidance.”
Upon hearing Tata’s further explanation, the shock on the faces of Lin Su and the others deepened.
One could only imagine future battles where Tata engaged the enemy while simultaneously mending herself and her allies in perfect sync—how utterly hopeless would her opponents feel?
“Aside from your core retaliatory strike and the Recovery Song that has evolved into a standard Talent Skill, what other abilities do you possess?” Qiuqiu couldn't help but ask.
Earlier, seeing Tata push back Gui Gui made him realize there was another formidable comrade in the team to watch out for.
“This is Comet Strike!” Tata brandished her Magic Wand and suddenly aimed it toward the distance.
In the next breath, accompanied by a terrifying string of sonic booms, the Five-colored Stars orbiting the wand's tip erupted. Five beams of light shot forth with devastating power in the direction Tata pointed. These beams spiraled and twisted around one another like comets drawn together by gravity.
Finally, they collided in a total merge.
With a deafening roar, the surrounding area for thousands of meters was instantly engulfed by a monstrous Energy Storm. A mushroom cloud ascended slowly into the void, the apocalyptic explosion radiating dread. The strength of this blow was only slightly inferior to the Fifth Movement Tata had just used, known as Tribulation Ash.
Crucially, this required no chanting; it was a direct offensive skill that Tata had mastered herself.
As they watched the retaliatory strike trigger once more and the Five-colored Stars reform at the wand's tip, the expressions of the five shifted again.
Combining this type of long-range offense with a perverse passive skill like retaliatory strike was simply broken.
Observing their reactions, Tata couldn't hide a smug grin. From this day forward, she was also a combat-oriented beast!
In truth, she had already devised her own tactical approach. Since performing the Divine Court Sacrificial Song took time, she could simply chant while using Comet Strike to suppress her enemies! There was no longer a need for her teammates to protect her while she sang; she could stall for herself!
“This skill is called Thunderous Impact!” Tata proceeded to showcase her next new ability.
With a single thought, the unique structure atop her head began to vibrate faintly, and the gemstone set within it glowed with Five-colored radiance. The halos above her started to spin and pulse like sound waves. Then, Tata raised her Magic Wand and began the familiar melody.
Recovery Song!
The two abilities synchronized instantly, causing the healing energy of the Recovery Song to be massively amplified. If the previous healing effect was rated at a 1, the assistance of Thunderous Impact boosted it to a 10!
After the song concluded, Tata clarified, “This skill integrates the previous effects of Singing Loudly, Going Crazy, and Lingering Echoes, while adding a few extra benefits.”
“And what about the final two skills?” Youyou asked with curiosity.
Seeing Tata grow so much stronger, Youyou—who frequently sparred with her—was already itching for a match.
“One is called Head-on Blow!” Tata swung her Magic Wand again, her spirit revitalized.
It was yet another offensive skill!
As she spoke, the Magic Wand in her hand underwent a rapid transformation. The Five-colored Stars surrounding it merged into the wood, which then expanded against the wind, turning into a formidable Five-colored long staff.
