Chapter 672 Silver Feather (3)
Tyson's Kommo-o was exceptionally tall and majestic. While a typical Kommo-o is about 1.6 to 1.8 meters tall, his Kommo-o was at least 2.5 meters tall, with its scales gleaming brightly.
As soon as the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon appeared, it charged towards Dracula, who was in a roosting state, its scales clashing together with a metallic clang. Tyson's intention was clear: to interrupt its roosting ability and prevent it from recovering.
Dracula flapped his wings to dodge his opponent's fighting punch, but the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon's attack was not so simple. Its skills were linked very quickly. When the punch missed, the body lurched forward and lashed out with its long tail. With a "clang", Dracula was hit and sent flying by the huge impact.
Kommo-o'-the-Tails seemed to know its tail could strike its opponent, and had already charged forward to catch up with the flying Dracula, unleashing its Super-Tier Fighting-type move—Close Combat. As this move was used, Tyson on the command platform smirked and muttered, "Battle over!"
However, the smile on his lips lasted only half a second before his expression froze. The staff-tailed armored dragon, which had launched a close-quarters attack, was blocked by a surge of energy erupting from Dracula's body. The energy, pale green in color, accompanied by a powerful storm, swept over the staff-tailed armored dragon, and wind blades slashed wildly at its scales, producing a piercingly sharp sound.
The storm spread outwards from the Bloodwing Wyvern, cutting rocks into fragments in its wake. The Fighting-type aura released by the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon was extinguished instantly by this energy, like a candle in a storm.
"Such powerful Flying-type energy! What kind of skill is this?" Tyson couldn't believe that the heavily injured Salamence could still unleash such an attack. Was it the Flying-type Gale? Impossible. He had seen Salamence use Gale when fighting the Lava Snail earlier, and it didn't deal this much damage. The output of this skill has surpassed that of ordinary super-tier skills.
The Normal-type mid-tier move, "Hardcore," unleashes double damage when a Pokémon suffers severe damage and is afflicted with status conditions such as burn, poison, or paralysis. However, as a Normal-type move, Hardcore shouldn't have the energy output of a Flying-type. Yet, when combined with Salamence's Mega Evolution ability—Flying Skin—any Normal-type move it uses will be rendered as a Flying-type attack.
Wang Qiyi had used this tactic before in the Masters tournament, but at that time it was only a domestic competition and didn't receive much attention internationally; most people were unaware of its application. Tyson, lacking information, immediately lost the initiative, and the Kommo-o-Tai was severely damaged by Dracula's aggressive attacks.
In an instant, the tide of battle turned. Dracula pressed his advantage and launched another desperate attack. Kommo-o activated its Guard to block the attack. On the command platform, Tyson shouted, "Titanium Crystallization!" Kommo-o's entire body erupted with a burst of intense light. When Dracula's third desperate attack swept in, Kommo-o was already encased in a metal shield, with a steel battle axe crown identical to Dracula's on its head.
"Titanium-crystalized steel!" Unexpectedly, Tyson also possessed titanium crystallization. But thinking about it, it's not surprising. As the world's leading power, the Eagle Nation immediately acquired a batch of titanium crystal beads and ore after Wang Qiyi announced the titanium crystallization technology. Given the importance of the Guardian God Battle, their training would undoubtedly include this.
Tyson hadn't originally planned to use this trump card in this match, since once it crystallizes, its attributes can't be restored within an hour, making him vulnerable to being targeted in subsequent title defenses. However, now that he's been forced into this situation by the seemingly weakened Bloodwing Dragon, he'll likely have to resort to it if he doesn't.
Steel is the most resistant type of all types, with double resistance to Normal, Grass, Ice, Flying, Rock, Fairy, Psychic, Bug, Steel, and Dragon. Ten out of the eighteen types are not very effective against it, so Tyson naturally chose Steel as the Titanium Crystal type for Kommo-o.
"Steel-type, just in time! Dracula, Flamethrower!" You should know that Dracula's specialty is Flamethrower. He can blast himself to the point of burning. Suddenly, a rock wall was built in front of him to block the flames. Rock-type mid-level move - Rock Blockade - he turned this offensive move into a defensive move.
Protected by the rock layer, Kommo-o assumed a gathering-energy pose, a pose Dracula was very familiar with. This was Goku's signature Chi Punch, incredibly powerful; if Dracula, a Steel-type, were hit by it, he would be instantly killed. Without hesitation, it landed and triggered an earthquake to prevent its opponent from gathering energy.
The two exchanged attacks relentlessly, Dracula and Kommo-o trading blows for over 20 minutes. Finally, Tyson was forced to use a Fighting-type Z-Move, his last resort. To his surprise, Wang Qiyi also used a Z-Move, but not the devastating Draco Meteor from the Champion Road; instead, it was the Flying-type Z-Move Rapid Dive Slam.
The two Z-Moves collided, the sound of the energy explosion echoing through the sky, the shockwave reaching the spectator island several kilometers away. The final image transmitted by Rotom showed both Pokémon lying on the ground. Just as Rotom was about to declare a draw, Wang Qiyi's Dracula suddenly stood up. With its last ounce of strength remaining, it activated the Roost move, quickly recovering some stamina before resolutely rising to its feet.
Whether in the live stream or watching from various delegations on Alliance Island, everyone genuinely applauded Dracula and Wang Qiyi; they were truly amazing. Everyone marveled at how invincible Wang Qiyi's spirit was. The most frustrated were the Eagle Kingdom delegation. They couldn't believe that even with Tyson's trump card and all his hidden strengths, he couldn't defeat the heavily injured Bloodwing Dragon. Was their only option to use their Guardian Angel?
Because the Eagle Kingdom failed in their first challenge, they must wait one more time before sending out another spirit. Looking around at the other participating nations, their advisors were all discussing the situation. Most countries didn't want to see the Dragon Kingdom secure the first divine resource with just one spirit. They'd have to sacrifice at least one of their guardian spirits.
Just as the reigning champion entered the final countdown, the South Korean delegation pressed the challenge button. Given South Korea's strength, they shouldn't be participating in the Group A competition. Although they are a wealthy country, their small land area results in a limited number of secret realms within their borders, and their Pokémon aren't particularly strong.
Their powerful trainers are mostly trained with the help of the Eagle Nation, making them the Eagle Nation's most loyal allies. South Korea's goal in participating in the Group A tournament is clear: to fully assist the Eagle Nation in obtaining more god-level resources. In return, the Eagle Nation promised to provide them with several level-eight resources afterward, eliminating their need to compete for level-eight resources in Group B.
During a lull in the battle, Dracula used his Feather Roost skill again to heal his injuries. This was the fourth time he had used Feather Roost today, and the healing effect was getting worse each time. Similar healing skills like Feather Roost, Healing Pulse, and Regeneration will gradually lose their effectiveness if used repeatedly on the same target in a short period of time. Generally, five uses is the limit, and the healing effect will be lost within at least 24 hours, requiring the use of the healing device at the Pokémon Center to treat the injuries.
The Korean trainer wasn't a legendary-level trainer, but a legendary one. However, this legendary trainer's ace, the Magmortar, possessed legendary-level strength, and he didn't expect to defeat the terrifying Salamence. He only wanted to wear down his opponent and, incidentally, refresh the challenge opportunities for the Eagle Nation.
Wang Qiyi knew about the Koreans' little scheme, so he immediately sent Dracula into a fierce attack. It was still burned, and its severely injured body allowed its sheer willpower to unleash unparalleled destructive power. It hadn't been able to unleash its full potential against the Titanium Crystal Steel-type Kommo-o, which had double the resistance to flying attacks. Now, facing the Fire-type Magmortar, it was naturally using its flying-type strength to force it to flee in terror.
Legendary Pokémon are powerful beings that dominate any region. However, in front of Wang Qiyi, they were suppressed and brutally beaten like chicks, and finally collapsed within minutes.
Dracula roared to the sky, making his debut and defeating four opponents single-handedly in the battle of the guardians, truly achieving legendary status in one battle. Now everyone is wondering if Wang Qiyi's Bloodwing Wyvern has already reached the level of a guardian deity.
