Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 290: Fighting among the Same Kind

The host continued to draw lots, and this time the one he drew was Yiyin, who would challenge Xuanwu.

"This situation seems familiar..."

After complaining in his heart for a while, Yiyin decided to go on stage to meet Xuanwu.

Xuanwu floated onto the stage silently, but the huge black turtle next to her was too conspicuous to ignore.

Yiyin put down the green-haired turtle on his head. It seemed that this was going to be a battle between turtle monsters.

The dragon horse hesitated for a long time before taking a step, which made people feel irritated. The green-haired turtle was not a fast monster, so it was difficult for them to meet.

If the speed of Longma is almost the same as that of the Green-haired Turtle, then [Magic Space] will not be of much use.

"Senior Xuanwu, you can't beat me. Since I was able to defeat you last time, I can do the same this time."

Yiyin was full of fighting spirit. "Besides, your words have no effect on me. You'd better admit defeat."

"(Last time...? Sorry, I still can't remember. But because I can't remember, I'm going to fight. For a monster master, fighting is the most effective way to communicate, so I want to use this battle to find out who you are.)"

After saying that, Xuanwu raised his left hand high, drew a circle in the air, and uttered a word softly:

"Swamp——"

"You're bluffing! Senior Xuanwu, your Word Spirit can only be activated on living things! The ring's abilities are inanimate. Unless you use Senior Baihu, the King of the Beasts' Divine Ritual's Six Symbols, there's no way you'll succeed!"

Yiyin was right, but Xuanwu had no intention of using the power of words on the arena at all.

But what is going on?

Xuanwu's words can neither be used on inanimate objects nor affect Yiyin and the green-haired turtle, so what is her purpose...?

"(It's me. I can influence myself through the Word Spirit. Although doing so is very dangerous and may backfire, it's worth it.)"

As he spoke, Xuanwu himself gradually turned into a swamp, cleverly combining with the arena.

"Senior Xuanwu is trying to drag me down by turning herself into a swamp!"

When Yiyin thought of this, he felt cold all over.

After Xuanwu turned into a swamp, it was difficult to get close to her. The green-haired turtle couldn't fly, so it could only become a living target for her sniper!

Just when Yiyin was in a dilemma, the ring suddenly caught fire.

It turned out that, just to be on the safe side, Xuanwu had taken out a talisman to summon fire magic when he transformed into a swamp. Unlike the high temperature brought by the quail fire during the Suzaku event, this time it was real fire.

"Damn it, are all Psychic-type monsters this shameless? Why does the green-haired turtle just bump into things?!"

Although Yi Yin wanted to complain, he knew that all this was fate. If he didn't come up with a solution quickly, Xuanwu would definitely force him into a desperate situation!

However, things often do not develop in the direction people expect. The more anxious Yiyin became, the blanker his mind became, and even the green-haired turtle stopped moving.

The swamp under his feet, the flames around him, and the slow-moving giant turtle monster, all of these combined to give Yiyin an irresistible stranglehold.

"No...it's too early to give up now..."

Yiyin reached for the goggles on his forehead, as if this could give him strength.

"Even if her body has turned into a swamp, Xuanwu is still human. If we attack her fiercely, she will definitely not be able to withstand it!"

Yiyin immediately used detection magic on Xuanwu, and after exposing all her disguises, he quickly discovered her location.

"it's here!"

Yiyin used the Xuanwu blade to perform sword-controlling techniques. Under this attack, Xuanwu had to restore its original appearance.

I thought that this would pull it into the sea of fire, but who would have thought that countless tiny water droplets would appear around Xuanwu. These water droplets played a very good protective role in the sea of fire.

It turned out that Xuanwu used two talismans at once in order to avoid the embarrassment of being beaten by Yiyin.

"Little Green!"

Yiyin shouted the name of the green-haired turtle. The green-haired turtle received the order and immediately pounced towards Xuanwu, trying to remove the water droplets from her body. At this time, Longma also came up.

In terms of pure strength, Longma was a B-rank material monster, so naturally he couldn't match the A-rank material monster Green Turtle. But at least Longma could delay the battle for a while, and that was enough.

Yi Yin felt that his time was running out. The scorching flames continued to erode his remaining health points and enveloped the entire arena in heat.

But the green-haired turtle is still struggling with Longma and cannot come to support for the time being, so now he can only rely on himself.

"Human power has its limits after all."

Yiyin recognized the reality. If he continued to worry about it, he would get nothing. So he decided to just admit defeat.

"(Are you giving up just like that? Looks like that's all you have.)"

Xuanwu's voice sounded very harsh, and Yiyin suddenly understood why Xuanwu was so persistent in fighting him.

Xuanwu must be in great pain inside, and she hopes to save herself in this way. This is Xuanwu's cry for help to herself, just like the cry she made in her spiritual world last time.

"If I miss this time, I'm afraid I won't have another chance - so I have to win!"

Yi Yin gave himself an order in his heart, and then he burst out with extremely strong momentum, wanting to end the battle.

"Breaking through the boundaries—"

Yi Yin forced himself to unleash his potential. After reaching the limit of speed A, he couldn't imagine how he got in front of Xuanwu and then chopped at Xuanwu's head with a knife.

——Only a few strands of hair were cut, but this has become evidence of Iin's victory.

Xuanwu's golden pupils suddenly shrank, and she subconsciously took a step back. At this moment, Yiyin heard the system's prompt about the completion of the side quest in her mind.

"(Iin... I've remembered everything. I've remembered everything that Albert took away with the Key of Time!)"

Xuanwu suddenly felt like crying. She didn't know when she had become so sentimental. It seemed that not only she, but Qinglong and the others had changed as well.

"..."

Unexpectedly, such a good thing would happen. Xuanwu regained his memory through fighting, and Yiyin also regained part of his soul by completing the rewards of side quests.

"The winner this time is Iin from Cross Base!"

The host announced, holding up Iin's left hand.

"Hehehe...you're truly worthy of being the exchange student sent by Nicole."

The fight between the two seemed to arouse the interest of Chairman Tianyi. He slowly walked towards Yiyin with a smile on his face.
