Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2121 - 660: Era of Six Pets
"Your Majesty Rexa is a tri-pet priestess. Besides the speech pet, ’Cloudy-Face Green Python,’ porcupine and bear must certainly be magic pets, so what’s left as the battle pet? Or perhaps... is it a special pet summoned from the ’Spirit Communication War Song’ of another instance?" Old Liu thought he could finally unravel this myth, a confusing mystery that had lasted for thousands of years. However, excitement apart, he did not forget to cautiously and insinuatingly choose his words — the Medusa Snake-men of the Beamon had always claimed to be the descendants of the War God’s beloved pet from back in the day. This pride had already seeped into their bones and souls. Now, standing beside Old Liu was a large group of Bonaparte Medusas. He didn’t want to provoke these guys. If anyone couldn’t accept it and took their own life on the spot, others might think that Old Liu deliberately forced them to death.
"Your Grace is surely knowledgeable. In addition to the speech pet and magic pet, there is a ’sacrificial pet,’ as His Majesty invented two ’Spirit Communication’ instances of war songs."
"What is a ’sacrificial pet’?"
"This war song can summon a magical beast to become a death substitute for the Beast King; at critical moments, it can release ’Nebula Chain Lightning’ in place of the Beast King..." the Dubin envoy’s expression became somewhat tense as he secretly observed Old Liu’s face turning cold and forced a faint smile: "The aura of this war song can also bestow ’Lightning Shield’ on someone, and it is a permanent blessing."
"Your Beast King of Dubin should be like our Beamon priests and only knows two lightning-type war songs, right? ’Nebula Chain Lightning’ for pets, ’Lightning Shield’ for the most beloved person or oneself..." Liu Shocking’s first reaction was anger: "You call yourself Beast King! It’s fortunate that there are no officials from the Religious Tribunal here today; otherwise, just based on this evil war song, I would have no objections if they chopped you into meat paste on the spot! This is the most selfish war song I have ever seen in my entire life! Using a battle pet to replace the priest in releasing a suicide war song, aren’t you afraid of summoning the ’Curse of the Blood Sacrifice’?"
It’s hard for someone not born as a priest to truly understand how deep the emotional bond between a battle pet and a priest can be. It’s a sincere feeling of interdependence on life and death between family members, where both parties are willing to die for the other.
In Firentis, although there are a large number of unowned Phantom Beasts waiting for summoning, no Beamon priest is willing to let their magic pet die on the battlefield to make room for these stronger heavy Phantom Beasts — even if their magic pet is too rotten to be more rotten, no one is willing to do it.
Back then, as the situation compelled, Liu Shocking deliberately assigned a hundred young Cambridge priests to train in the Salino Swamp. With the treacherous natural environment and the fierce underground magical beasts, he forced these young priests’ original magic pets to be exhausted completely, thus smoothly popularizing Phantom Beast dinosaurs among Cambridge priests, laying a solid foundation for the victory in the Weicheng Great War — from a broader perspective, Liu Shocking’s decision made contributions of immense merit to the kingdom, but it must be stated that, even with his esteemed status today, he still does not have the courage to expose this matter to the public.
Deliberately killing a priest’s magic pet is equivalent to committing murder in the Beamon Kingdom.
In fact, it’s not just priests; even knights treat their mounts like their precious and dearly beloved. Liu Shocking managed to obtain a total of a hundred thousand shares of ’Nau Platinum’ from the Demonic Sea Clan, but in reality, only over thirty thousand of the riding wolves were used in the transformation of mutant Arcane Beast mounts — this was only possible because the Wolf Cavalry was determined to fight to the death. Under normal circumstances, no priest or knight would ever be willing to let their own magic pet or mount endure any inhumane treatment.
The sacrificial pet war song invented by Rexa clearly considered battle pets as suicidal body bombs, which no true priest can accept.
"I didn’t expect humans to have Fallen Magic, and we priests have fallen war songs too!" Liu Shocking said unreservedly to the Dubin envoy Balrexi: "It seems necessary for the temple to set up an Inquisition to prohibit the creation of war songs!"
"Your Grace, I disagree with your point! Magical beasts possess intelligence as well, and when they accept the wild call, they have the right to accept or reject becoming a ’sacrificial pet.’ Even the strongest priest cannot force them to choose! As long as a magical beast willingly becomes a sacrificial pet, even if an urgent situation arises one day where the Beast King must let the sacrificial pet sacrifice its life and summon ’Nebula Chain Lightning,’ they will not suffer the ’Curse of the Blood Sacrifice’! This is different from deliberately sending a battle pet to death." The Dubin envoy shrugged: "I knew Your Grace would say this, but what I want to say is, our Dubin Beast Kings’ affection for battle pets is not less than that of your Beamon priests! You cannot simply assume that our Dubin Beast Kings do not care about their pets just because of this war song!
In fact, from ancient times to now, many Dubin Beast Kings have faced hopeless situations and preferred to die in battle themselves rather than let the sacrificial pet release ’Nebula Chain Lightning’! The pet and the Beast King are both willing to die for each other at any moment, and this represents the greatest friendship between humans and beasts!
We actually passed down this war song not for the ’Nebula Chain Lightning,’ but for the permanently blessed ’Lightning Shield’! This shield is hidden during peacetime and can be activated at will during war. Even if it is destroyed, it can be restored again after a day, enduring as long as the host lives, making it perfect to protect the ones you love."
