Chapter 125: Innate Skill, ‘Metalize’, Strengthened Eagle Claws

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hash keenly noticed that the Metal-feathered Eagle had dispersed its spiritual energy into its four limbs.

Thus, Hash first shifted her gaze from the Metal-feathered Eagle’s wings to its feet.

Under the sunlight, the Metal-feathered Eagle’s muscular and strong claws reflected a metallic luster.

Moreover, the metallic luster was not the warm sunlight, but a cold light as sharp as a blade!

After observing the changes in the Metal-feathered Eagle’s claws, Hash began to look up.

Finally, her gaze stopped at the Metal-feathered Eagle’s thin arms.

Although compared to the muscular and firm muscles on its claws, the metal-feathered eagle’s arms were extremely thin and weak, the Metal-feathered Eagle’s claws were the same as its feet.

Under the sunlight, it weakly reflected a metallic luster, making it appear extremely sharp.

Looks like Giles has already gotten the Metal-feathered Eagle to activate some strengthening skill.

At the thought of this, Hash began to recall skills related to metal-type spirit beasts or bird-type spirit beasts.

To have a metallic luster under the sunlight, the effect should be able to strengthen certain areas. The Metal-feathered Eagle’s current combat effectiveness rank is still not at the Gold rank.

Hash kept repeating these words in her mind about the Metal-feathered Eagle.

From there, she quickly eliminated a bunch of unrelated skills and came to a conclusion.

At present, the skill that matches these characteristics the most is the most common innate skill of metal-type spirit beasts, ‘Metalize’.”

Metal-type innate skill ‘Metalize’ can allow the entire body or a specific part of the body to be attached with metal-type spiritual energy to increase its hardness, thereby increasing its attack power and defense.

Although the innate skill ‘Metalize’ is very common in metal-type spirit beasts, it is also very useful.

Furthermore, the more simple the skill with such an effect, the more it can showcase the Beast Tamer’s ability in training spirit beasts.

Giles, I wonder how you’re going to let the Metal-feathered Eagle utilise its advantage of the ‘Metalize’ innate skill.

Standing on the back of the alligator snapping turtle, Hash retracted her gaze from the Metal-feathered Eagle above the arena.

Then, she looked at Giles, who was standing on the other side of the arena.

Giles was not frowning at the battlefield like before.

He smiled as he looked at Annie, who was standing opposite him. His eyes revealed his approval and admiration towards Annie.

Alright, looks like the “Gym Leader”, Giles, can tell that Miss Annie, the ‘challenger’, has improved in this battle.

Based on Giles’ current performance, as long as he can keep this up, even if he ends up losing to Miss Annie in this ability evaluation, the Beast Tamer Association’s headquarters will make an exception and let him become the ‘Acting Gym Leader’ of Starlux Gym after watching the recording of his match.

With this in mind, Hash turned her gaze to the Leaf-eared Cat, who was using the ‘Vine Whip’ to wrap around the tree branches and sway its body.

When the Leaf-eared Cat approached the Metal-feathered Eagle, it continued to use its ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ to harass and suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle.

However, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had the advantage in the air, did not choose to continue firing its metal feathers to ward off the Green Leaf Flying Daggers. Instead, it flapped its wings and changed its flying direction to dodge the attacks of the Leaf-eared Cat.

The audience sitting in the spectator stand behind Hash did not notice that the Metal-feathered Eagle’s four eagle claws were gradually infused with metal-type spiritual energy, like Hash did.

After discovering that the golden ray emitted by the Metal-feathered Eagle was actually its metal feather, they unanimously thought that the Metal-feathered Eagle was at a disadvantage again.

This was because the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had a limited number of feathers, could not possibly rely on firing its metal feathers to fight a prolonged battle against the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, which consumed spiritual energy. The Metal-feathered Eagle was the one who needed to end the battle quickly.

However, as the umpire, Hash knew very well that when the Metal-feathered Eagle’s innate skill, ‘Metalize’, was used to completely envelop its four eagle claws with metal-type spiritual energy, it would be the chance for the Metal-feathered Eagle to launch a counterattack!

Although the Metal-feathered Eagle can only launch a limited number of metal feathers and can’t rely on that to fight a prolonged battle against the Leaf-eared Cat’s Greenleaf Flying Daggers, which consume plant-type spiritual energy, after its four sharp eagle claws are all strengthened by the innate skill ‘Metalize’, even if the Leaf-eared Cat’s combat effectiveness rank is three ranks higher, the Metal-feathered Eagle will not be at a disadvantage when fighting the Leaf-eared Cat head on.

Furthermore, if Miss Annie’s Leaf-eared Cat doesn’t have any close-range combat skills other than plant-type skills, then the Metal-feathered Eagle’s four eagle claws with metal-type spiritual energy will be a huge threat to the Leaf-eared Cat!

Standing on the other side of the battlefield, Giles also had the same thought as Hash.

Giles saw that Annie, who was standing opposite him, finally did not let the Leaf-eared Cat waste its spiritual energy by continuing to activate its innate skill, ‘Cloak of Nature’.

Annie had also commanded the Leaf-eared Cat to use its plant-type skill, ‘Vine Whip’, to wrap around the tree branches to swing its body so as to close the gap between it and the flying Metal-feathered Eagle, while continuing to use its Green Leaf Flying Daggers to interfere and suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle.

When he saw this, Giles subconsciously smiled in relief at Annie’s decision to let the Leaf-eared Cat fight head-on. His eyes also revealed his approval and admiration towards Annie.

Looks like Annie finally realized what I meant.

Giles smiled slightly. Not only pleased with Annie’s improvement, but he was also excited about the upcoming battle.

But even if the Leaf-eared Cat’s combat effectiveness rank is three ranks higher than the Metal-feathered Eagle, it is impossible for the Leaf-eared Cat to completely suppress my Metal-feathered Eagle in a head-on battle!

At the thought of this, Giles raised his head slightly and commanded the Metal-feathered Eagle, who was flying above the arena, through spiritual communication, “Metal-feathered Eagle, in the upcoming battle, unless I give the command, don’t shoot your ‘Feather Arrows’ to split apart the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ that the Leaf-eared Cat throws out.

“For now, dodge the Leaf-eared Cat’s ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ and activate your innate skill, ‘Metalize’, to strengthen your four eagle claws.”

“After your Eagle Claw is infused with metal-type spiritual energy, it can easily tear apart the ‘Green Leaf Flying Daggers’ that are flying towards you. When the time comes, you can switch from defense to offense!”

“Since the Leaf-eared Cat wants to fight you head on, bring out the advantage of your innate skill and use your Eagle Claw to fight it out in the air!”
