Beast Taming: Infinite Simulation as a Tamed Beast

Chapter 25: Is This It?

Immediately following, her pet beast appeared in front of Vincent.

It was a snow-white Frost Giant Wolf, standing as tall as Elly Wale's waist, with a body length of about two to three meters, a sturdy physique, and frost-covered fur.

At this moment, the Frost Giant Wolf also had a layer of flames wrapping around it, making Vincent clearly feel that its fighting spirit was as high as Elly's!

"This guy's Beast-controlling Talent is actually of the enhancement type," Vincent said, his eyelids twitching slightly.

Beast-controlling Talents are quite diverse and can generally be divided into enhancement types and special types.

Elly's fighting spirit enhancement talent is of the enhancement type.

Vincent's [Dimension Summon] and [Simulation] are of the special type.

Enhancement types can enhance various abilities of the Beast Master and pet beast, such as combat, detection, and medical abilities.

As for special types, they encompass all sorts of strange abilities.

In the previous two matches, Vincent didn't see his opponents use their Beast-controlling Talents, either because they were not of the enhancement type or because they used them, but Vincent didn't notice.

The opponent's Frost Giant Wolf should have just formed a contract recently, meaning it was at the Awakening Level 1 level, but under the blessing of the fighting spirit enhancement, Vincent could feel it had at least the strength of Awakening Level 3.

During the second simulation, the memory of the Frost Giant Wolf that defeated Vincent was also only at Awakening Level 3.

Vincent originally thought that his Slime would have no pressure against the current Frost Giant Wolf, but he didn't expect Elly to be able to give her pet beast a buff.

This was a miscalculation, as he had not thought of this possibility.

Barry also remembered the Frost Giant Wolf in front of him.

The memory infusion in the simulation made Barry experience the events in the simulation from a first-person perspective.

So, the feeling of being defeated was very real, and facing the opponent who once defeated it, Barry felt somewhat apprehensive.

The Frost Giant Wolf walked gracefully towards the battlefield, its terrifying wolf grin split open, with strands of cold air gushing out from between its sharp tusks, looking extremely ferocious.

"Believe in yourself! The opponent is not as invincible as before, and you are now much stronger than before!"

Feeling Barry's transmitted fear and panic, Vincent continuously encouraged him.

Vincent's words, filled with trust and encouragement, gradually calmed Barry down.

"It's a pity, if only I had used Simulation again this morning, this little wolf would have had no chance of defeating Barry."

Thinking of this, Vincent couldn't find a solution, as he couldn't start another Simulation now.

That's because starting Simulation required Vincent's physical strength, and without it, Vincent would be unable to move.

In this place, where wolves lurked, if he couldn't move, he didn't know what would happen.

"Let's get started when you're ready!"

As Elly gave the command, the battle began.

At the start of the match, Barry and the Frost Giant Wolf did not move an inch.

The Frost Giant Wolf stared fiercely at Barry, attempting to pressure him into revealing a weakness.

However, Barry had experienced hundreds of battles in the simulation, and the initial panic was just from some lingering shadows in his memory. At this point, he had regained his spirit and was focused on the duel, shaking off the influence.

"Frost Giant Wolf, use [Cold Fog]!" Unable to keep her composure any longer, Elly issued a command to her Frost Giant Wolf through their contract, and the attack began.

Upon receiving the command, the Frost Giant Wolf immediately opened its huge mouth, and strands of white fog with ice crystals rapidly poured out from it, spreading to the surroundings.

"It's [Cold Fog] - dodge it!"

Vincent knew this skill, as the opponent had used it in the simulation as well.

Cold Fog is a low-grade talent of the Frost Giant Wolf, whose effect is to greatly reduce the speed of touched pet beasts. For water attribute elemental species like Slime, the effect is even more pronounced.

However, it seemed that Cold Fog was not the opponent's main training skill; its proficiency was only at the entry-level stage.

With the range of entry-level Cold Fog not being very large, Barry easily dodged and went outside its range.

However, the figure of the Frost Giant Wolf within the white fog had become somewhat blurred and difficult to discern.

"Quickly dodge!"

With an extremely quick reaction, Barry's body transformed into an afterimage in an instant, avoiding the Frost Giant Wolf's sharp claws that burst out from the Cold Fog.

"Aim for the waist and use [Rush]!"

Immediately after dodging, Barry directly charged towards the waist and abdomen of the Frost Giant Wolf.

Bang!

"Awoo—"

The Frost Giant Wolf howled painfully as its entire body flew several meters sideways.

"My Little Snow Wolf!" Elly cried out in shock.

"You're too cheeky! You can't hit or defend. What kind of speed is that?"

Elly's fighting spirit visibly waned, and her once erected waist softened.

The Frost Giant Wolf struggled to get up, its momentum returning to its original point, its fighting spirit dissipated, and it whimpered continuously.

"Does your Frost Giant Wolf only have one skill?" Vincent asked.

"Yes, Little Snow Wolf currently only has the [Cold Fog] talent, and the other skills are still being learned." Elly became even more disheartened.

Vincent asked the question because the Frost Giant Wolf did not have only one skill in the simulation; it had also learned Frost Armor and Frost Claw.

If the opponent had the skill Frost Armor, Vincent wouldn't dare to let Barry use Charge.

That's because Frost Armor not only protected the wolf but also slowed down its attacker, making it dangerous to fight recklessly in close combat.

As for using a ranged skill, the Frost Giant Wolf could use Cold Fog, with Spitting Water being unable to ensure a hit rate. Even if it did hit, the opponent would have Frost Armor to reduce damage.

"How did you train for this month? Even this one skill hasn't reached the proficient stage?"

Vincent didn't believe it. When he trained in the simulation, the proficiency of a skill reached the Mastery Stage within eighteen days.

The compatible [Rapid Movement] skill even reached Mastery in just four days.

"It usually takes a month for a pet beast to barely reach the proficient stage of a low-grade skill, and I haven't had the contract for a month yet."

"Besides, Little Snow Wolf is still learning other skills, so it's not possible to train that fast!"

Elly's voice grew smaller and smaller.

"No, but is that all you got? You're this eager to challenge with just that?" Vincent wondered.

"..." Elly couldn't say anything. How could she have known that a Slime that had just contracted for less than two days could be so powerful?

"Oh, I see. I think the reason your wolf lost so quickly is because your fire burned quite well. It must have melted the ice on the Frost Giant Wolf when it attached to it, right?" Vincent said, looking as if he suddenly understood.

"Ugh—"

Elly let out a cry, her long legs swiftly taking her away, with the tailed Frost Giant Wolf trailing behind.

"That's the usual Vincent. That's more comfortable."

The classmates in the classroom silently nodded their heads. They had not heard Vincent's sharp words for the past two days, and their hearts felt like something was missing, but now they felt much better.
