Hellbents
Chapter 73: Wild and Wild

If only viewed from the level, River would definitely win. But the skill sets of the two people were very different, so the determinants also changed. River as a monster tamer relies heavily on his pet-maintainer skills, on the other hand Dom will rely on his animal characteristics to defeat opponents, which cheetahs have to watch out for is their speed and agility.

Both of them experienced a level rise, probably due to the banderhobbs incident yesterday which caused them to fight to beat several frogs level 20s.

"[Summon: Lig]." A glowing circle appeared on the ground, River instantly took out his mainstay gray wolf. The iron wolf that was now level 32 was howling long, its thick tail was filled with spirit.

"[Transformation]!" Dom crouched low, his hands and feet then gripped the ground beneath him. Despite the distant and muffled cheers around her, Ava can hear the sound of broken bones, within five seconds the man was now transformed into a four-legged animal with a yellow skin with a black bottle. The process of change seems painful.

River strengthened his heart as the two animals in front of him growled at each other, he retreated a few steps, letting Lig slowly form a circle, watching his enemy first. Likewise Dom, his sharp eyes scrutinize the movements of the two figures he must fight, not forgetting that River has other monsters that can be summoned later. So contrary to Ava's expectations, Dom behaved more carefully, he thought Dom would attack just considering his rude attitude all along.

Lig who was damning first, the iron claws swung ferociously, threatening Dom who immediately jumped dodge and bite the wolf's shoulder.

After sticking his fangs in the enemy's flesh, Dom retreated, returning to watch. The hit-and-run strategy fits perfectly with the specifications of the cheetah.

Lig seemed angry, with a roar he jumped, crashing Dom to the point of falling. The two grappled on the ground, scraping and tearing each other apart. They struggled for a long time, scattering dust from the eroded ground as a result of their fight. All the spectators could notice was the wild moans of the two beasts. When the dust began to thin, they finally saw two figures panting. Blood was seen from their open wounds.

But it seems like Dom forgot something.

He should have saved stamina.

Name: Jila (owned by River Doyle)

Race : Harpy

Level 53

The level of summoned monsters could exceed its owner?

"Lig, back!"

Jila shrieked loudly, her wings outstretched magnificently. A second later, a feather pierced the ground, scraping the cheetah skin like a knife in the process.

Not stopping there, dozens of feathers glide quickly to target, fortunately Dom can avoid even though he was shaky because he was shocked by the changes that occurred.

One side that was disliked when fighting an enemy that could fly, could not retaliate against the attack. Although with all her might jump, Jila could easily raise herself with her wings.

Realizing this, Dom's goal was changed. He headed straight for where River stood.

In order to save mana consumption, Lig had already pulled back, leaving his employer concentrating on keeping the harpy present, as monsters higher in level from River required full control in order to not get out of control.

That is, its position is prone.

So when Dom quickly turned his back on him, River defended himself too late. His body could not be moved, overpowered by the cheetah pressing on his shoulders. River tried to escape, he rebelled. Now their position is reversed, Dom being held down.

What Ava did not expect was when River brought his face closer, then stuck his forehead with a squirming Dom. The inscription "Taming (IV)" shines brightly from the observation screen. River used a taming skill to Dom? So beastman belongs to the monster category? Or is River's ability unlimited just to tame monsters? That human?

... If so, isn't that the same as a psychological attack? Control the mind even?

Slowly Dom began to calm down, his skin turning back to the dark color of human skin with red patches, proof of the ferocious of the fight earlier. "Argh, give me up!" Obviously the man did not accept it, but he was tired because he had been running around, in contrast to River who, despite being drained, was still fit with a status of greater strength points.

River wins.

Ava charges the bookmaker in her backseat row. The coin is up 300.

He and Lorah then ran into the middle of the arena, Dom still sprawled while River sat with him, feeling bad if he immediately got up leaving the man who three minutes ago became his opponent.

"Good work, it's for each of you." The healing ointment passes into the hands of the person who is lying limp. "But I'm not sure you can fight with me tomorrow or the day after." Ava was right, River still had to replenish his mana, then Dom still took days to close his wound.

"I fought more seriously than I expected" Dom admitted grimly, beside him Lorah helping his brother to apply the medicine that Ava had just given him.

"A-ah, sorry, I got carried away too," seeing the red stains his pets left behind, River felt guilty. Despite that, Ava is now aware of the hidden competitive side River has.

"That's why you called that motherfucker bird?!"

River could not reason, taking out Jila was indeed an exaggerated act for a match practice.

"You already know that River is a monster tamer, who told you to spend your stamina against Lig? Then when the harpy was called, you weren't so ready, were you? Cheetahs should be able to avoid the feathers' attacks easily." Lorah who was also annoyed by Dom's carelessness, nodded strongly at each sentence that Ava had thrown.

"Then," There's rarely a chance Ava could nag River like now, "As a tamer, relying on your full monster calls is so wrong. Your own body should be trained, don't just accumulate status points without using them. That way, you can avoid Dom's last attack. It's still a good thing the enemy is exhausted, so it's easier to turn around, but if not?"

Ava suddenly incarnated as a professional fighter coach, it was customary of her to analyze every fight she watched in person as well as from the video, because by knowing the advantages and disadvantages of what he saw, Ava can apply and improve her fighting techniques. That's why his style is so free, the result of self-study at least a dozen years.

Both men who are advised can only resign because what is said is nothing wrong.
