26 Hyena Badger
"Huh?"
The young king was surprised and felt dizzy, thinking that this kind of beast was in front of him.
'Rarest of all Tartarus beast, the one that can make itself rage and strengthen several times because its ancestor devoured a blood fruit. The scavenger and destroyed almost all life because it was released in my last life.
"ROWWWWWRRRRR!!!!!"
With a scrawling roar, the beast was showing its ferociousness to the man in front of it.
'The powerful Hyena Badger.' The young king thought,
'Am I running out of luck? This beast is one of the few Tartarus beasts I didn't want to meet or see. If I could access to Full symbiosis where he could be a human size monster and twenty times in power, I can easily destroy this but now...'
The beast didn't wait for him to think; it run so fast that surprised him. It's in front of him.
Mid-air, the young king lofted its hind legs and kicked with all his might,
BANG!
The big paw of the Hyena Badger defended itself easily, but...
SWOOOV!!
The Hyena badger was thrown far away because the kick of the young king was infused by some kind of natural green energy.
Still, in the air, the young king's eyes were focused on the monster Hyena Badger,
'It's a Hyena Badger, it's using its head, arms, and feet to fight like a human that knows martial arts. I've never seen one, but I heard that it's strong and it's a favorite pet of Ashuras.
'However, it's a bad pet, for it is very carnivorous, a scavenger that eats everything even bones. Beating this beast would be hard and I would surely be heard and noticed by Ashuras,'
The young king whirled his feet once again by infusing them with a green fiery aura.
'The body strength of his beast is really stronger than that of Tartarus beast. My estimate that it's a Volcano beast. Close to my human strength right now, I will destroy it before it uses its rage state!'
"RAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!"
For the first time, the young king gritted his teeth, while his aura on his coins was on a verge of exploding.
"DIEEEEEE!!!!!!!"
Flicking his hand like a swirling and swatting of booming through the air, the coins exploded like cannons by flicking it.
"ROOOAAAAARRR!!!!"
The hyena badger answered his call, standing on its two feet, opened arms with sharp claws, the hyena badger closed its eyes. It feels like the hyena badger lost its desire to fight, but the young king knew what it means.
"I hope it won't go on raging!"
The young king said with a maniacal smile on his face. What he is saying is contradicting what he is hoping for.
"GROOOOWWWLLLLLL!!"
The beast transformed into its bloodthirsty state. The eyes, claws, and teeth were red with blood. The ferociousness of its entire being was revealed only by its look.
''This is beautiful, a work of nature's art!" The young king said with happiness on his expression,
"The hunter of snakes, serpents, and dragons! The Hyena Badger of savannah, I, King Baal Throunos declare you as worthy of battling me!"
Being influenced by his symbiotic blood, the Minotaur, although being superbly strong, Minotaur has weaknesses. It is not very bright and is constantly angry and hungry.
The fact that the young king merges with it, he will naturally be influenced by it. All his unnecessary thoughts were gone, and he only hoped to fight in his anger!
"DIE!!!"
"DIE!!!"
"DIE!!!"
"DIE!!!"
The coins swung like a whip in the air; they were infused by the young king's auras full of power to pierce through the hide and skin of the hyena badger beast, but the monster skins were tough.
'What is happening?' the young king squinted,
"I need to weaken its defense. My coins wouldn't be enough of it,"
The young said as his aura expanded, and tremors ran through space.
"FEAL MY RAGE AND EXPERIENCE FEAR YOU BEAST!"
The young king's shout was followed by his aura drills into the beast. This aura made a lot of contribution to his fights, this also the reason all things became easier for him but...
"ROAAAARRR!!"
The young king's eyes widened, as he felt like that beast ignored his ability. It ran straight at him like it was rock destroying a barrier made of the chicken eggshell.
The Tartarus Hyena badger lifted its legs like a human to the side and swung it straight kick to the young king. The feet of the beast were bigger than the young king itself,
LABOOVVV!!
Like a meteor from outer space landing on earth, the young king was sent flying into a distance, crashing and crushing a lot of trees along the way.
The monster was in its bloodlust mode and the young king was mid air so he surely took a lot of damage from that attack.
...
"It's in there?"
Realized something, her shadow was familiar, with her horn being a little white red and a little devil red lips. It was Edith.
ROOOOOAARR!!
"The roar, bloodlust already? It was fighting something?"
Edith's speed flashes through trees. She can feel that the beast is the Volcano beast that she is looking for.
About a minute, the beast is just staying in its place, waiting for something. Its eyes were full of a burning desire for battle.
Bang! Bang!
It was slapping the ground, like asking for an invisible opponent to hurry and enter the right and fight.
'He's fighting something? Probably a beast, too. I can't wait that long. I need to finish and present it and become a warrior princess.' she thought
'I wonder how this monster could last against me, would bore if it just ends here.'
Edith landed in front of the Hyena Badger Tartarus beast. The look on the raging beast was full of surprises, but Edith ignored it and thought,
'I can't control its blood. Then it would be a powerful opponent for me. But if I can...'
"ROOAARR-"
The roar was stopped as soon as the beast noticed something but...
Edith did not wait for the beast to realize what was happening. Her eyes became red as light shines through and she says,
"Kneel!"
The Beast was splattered to the ground like the hunter's dead skin of a deer as a trophy of his hunt.
The hyena badger Tartarus beast made a painful growl but no matter what it does, it couldn't get up from the ground.
Scratch, head butt, biting, kicking the ground wouldn't work, for the beast was controlled by its blood. The most dangerous and strongest ability of female Ashura...
Blood Bending.
All of the sudden, the beast slaps the ground so hard that it trembles, making Ashura Edith the center of her gravity unbalanced. The gigantic hyena badger found an opportunity, and jumps straight to Edith,
'What a smart beast but it wouldn't work on me,' Edith said on her mind and hurriedly fixed her balancing and lifted her hand,
ROOAAARR!!
The hyena badger was closed to slap the head of Edith but-,
"Since you don't want the easy way, then I'll
"BLOOD BURST!!!"
...
Currently, the young king was staring at the sky. He landed on a gigantic rock and destroyed it. His body was covered in bruises while he was panting heavily but silently thinking,
'I forgot, Tartarus Hyena Badgers are fearless, for they have many reasons to be fearless. They have very thick, rubbery skin, which is so tough that it's been nearly impervious to traditionally made arrows and spears.
'Further, their skin can take a full blow from my bullet attacks without cutting the skin all the way through. More practically, this skin helps protect the Hyena Badgers from the teeth of predators.
'Along with being thick and very tough, the Hyena Badger's skin is also fairly loose, which allows it more freedom of movement within the skin. This particularly aids it when it's being attacked by larger predators and finds itself in the predator's clutches. Also, the reason is that some of my coins are just slipping through it.
'If they were caught by a higher level and bigger predator, It can then squirm about in its skin and get its long claws and mouth with sharp teeth in such a position to harm the predator that is holding it.
'This makes it particularly unsafe for a normal Disorder beast to hold the Honey Badger in its jaws, unless it kills it instantly, which is difficult. The Hyena Badger can simply squirm around and viciously attack the predator's face and eyes.'
The young king's eyes were burned with intensity and desire for battle.
"I need to stand up. That giant hoodlum was challenging me. I'll answer his call!"
The young king healed himself but only a little, enough for him to stand up and have the energy to fight with the incoming beast. Ignoring all the injuries on his body by that single attack, the young king sprinted with a smile on his face.
"Here I go!"
