As Chi Hong ran, he cast a glance backward.
Upon taking this glance, he immediately felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and a layer of fine cold sweat instantly broke out on his back!
A hard, pitch-black object!
A gun barrel was pointed at him!
“This crazy bitch is going to shoot me??”
It was highly possible!
Chi Hong could practically already see Chao Wu shouting, “Take this!”, and then a shot shattering his skull!
Chi Hong entered a state of extreme tension, and this state was synchronized with Mega Lucario!
Lucario, who was handling the enemies with ease, immediately sensed an immense crisis!
And it instantly pinpointed where this crisis was coming from: that human woman!
“Kaa-awoo!!”
Lucario roared at the sky.
Behind it, the Judgment Horned Lion bit down on its shoulder; in front of it, the Flame-Forged Armorsoldier’s spear also thrust toward it.
Alpha Lucario appeared to lose control!
Its eyes erupted with red light.
Just like when Chi Hong had encountered it in the wild in the game, it was powerful, enraged, and exploding with aggression!
Its forehead erupted with light, and the charging Flame-Forged Armorsoldier was suddenly slammed fiercely from above by an immense force!
A Psychic-type move, Zen Headbutt!
Bang!!
Lucario’s tail took on a metallic luster, and subsequently lashed viciously into the Judgment Horned Lion’s abdomen.
A Steel-type move, Iron Tail!
The Judgment Horned Lion released its bite and was just preparing to unleash a skill.
With a ferocious expression, Lucario grabbed its large mouth, violently wrenching it open up and down.
While wrenching the Judgment Horned Lion’s large mouth open, it opened its own mouth and let out an ear-piercing shriek!
A Normal-type move, Screech!
It could drastically lower a target’s Defense stat.
However, in the real world, this roar numbed Chao Wu’s ears.
She subconsciously raised her hands to cover her ears, and the gun in her hand fell to the ground.
All of this occurred within just a few seconds.
Lucario opened its mouth, and terrifying energy began to gather within!
This energy caused the Judgment Horned Lion to struggle frantically; it sensed an incredibly formidable aura.
“This aura is…”
Chao Wu’s eyes widened, and a single word popped into her mind.
Dragon!
This was the aura of a dragon!
This pet beast had absolutely nothing to do with dragons, so how could its skill emit the aura of a dragon?
Dragons, the creatures that stood at the pinnacle of the Beast Tamer world!
Beast Tamers who possessed dragons were all top-tier powerhouses without exception!
Dragons themselves were extremely rare, and Dragon-attribute skills were naturally the best of the best among skills!
“Chao Wu dropped her gun, great opportunity!”
Chi Hong immediately ran toward Chao Wu’s direction.
He had to kick that deadly law enforcement standard-issue pistol far away!
He hadn’t run more than a few steps before he immediately sensed something amiss.
The rage and irritability welling up in his heart hadn’t diminished in the slightest, and had even overpowered his ‘fear’!
“Lucario lost control?”
“Is that…
Dragon Pulse?
And it’s using it point-blank like a mouth cannon?”
Chi Hong felt a bit numb.
If that mouth-cannon Dragon Pulse was fired…
It was guaranteed to blast that Judgment Horned Lion right in the face!
It would claim that big cat’s life! This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
Bang~ Bang~ Bang~
The sound of gunshots rang out.
In an instant, Chao Wu had picked up the pistol and fired three consecutive shots at the joints of Lucario’s arms.
She then took two steps forward and fired another three shots at Lucario’s mouth!
Because she fired from the side, not a single one of Chao Wu’s shots hit a vital spot!
Although they didn’t hit a vital spot, if these shots could take effect, they could completely neutralize the Judgment Horned Lion’s current crisis!
Lucario tilted its head, then sent the Judgment Horned Lion flying with a kick.
Turning its face toward Chao Wu’s position, it spewed out a Dragon Pulse!
The energy took on the form of a dragon, roaring as it charged toward Chao Wu.
Chao Wu jumped to the side.
The Flame-Forged Armorsoldier struggled to its feet and threw its shield out.
Chao Wu caught the shield mid-air.
The shield erupted with light, and a massive shield materialized in front of her.
Boom!!!
A violent explosion occurred as the Dragon Pulse struck the ground.
Chao Wu could even hear the continuous roars of a dragon amidst the explosion.
The shield didn’t hold up for long before shattering instantly.
The aftershock sent Chao Wu flying backward, crashing heavily into the rubble.
She felt her head buzzing, and sweat had already soaked through her clothes.
“I’m completely outmatched!”
“This is definitely a berserk pet beast.
Berserk pet beasts have an extremely high risk of losing control.
Even their Beast Tamers have to put in considerable effort to quell such rampages!”
“I have to retreat quickly!”
“I absolutely won’t last until reinforcements arrive at this rate!”
Chao Wu made up her mind.
Just as she raised her head, a pair of scarlet eyes stared fixedly at her.
Lucario glanced at the pistol in Chao Wu’s hand.
That’s right, this was the object that had posed a life-or-death crisis to its trainer, Chi Hong.
Its claws erupted with a metallic glow, and it launched a Metal Claw straight at Chao Wu’s head!
“Lucario!”
Chi Hong grabbed Lucario’s wrist.
The instant Lucario’s wrist was touched by Chi Hong, the force in its entire body immediately dissipated.
It would absolutely never harm Chi Hong.
“Kaa-woo?”
Lucario bared its fangs and let out a low growl.
“It’s alright, I’m fine, you can stop now.”
Chi Hong said softly, then raised his wrist, and Lucario exited its Mega form.
Chi Hong checked his Pokémon panel.
Aside from Limit Break, another skill had appeared.
[Mind Synchronization: Complete synchronization of intent between human and Pokémon.
The trainer’s thoughts influence the Pokémon, and the Pokémon’s thoughts also influence the trainer.]
“So, this new skill appeared because of Aura.
If I use this skill and my willpower wavers even slightly, I’ll be influenced by the Pokémon’s thoughts.”
“Especially…
the latent ferocity hidden within an Alpha Pokémon’s heart has an even greater influence.”
Chi Hong swept a glance around.
The area had become ruins.
The girl who had been taking photos earlier was hugging her Judgment Horned Lion’s head, her face covered in tears.
The stubble-faced young man stood not far away, looking at Chao Wu with a face full of concern and fear. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
He seemed to have just run over.
As for Chao Wu, her expression was sluggish, as if she had just taken a stroll before the gates of hell in that instant!
“Let’s go.”
Chi Hong pulled down the brim of his cap and led Lucario toward the direction Zoroark had departed earlier.
“Mind Synchronization…”
Chi Hong activated the skill, targeting Zoroark.
In an instant, a sinister, cunning sensation arose in Chi Hong’s heart.
“Wait, Red!
You can’t kill him!”
Chao Wu struggled to her feet and gathered the courage to shout at Chi Hong’s back.
Chi Hong stopped in his tracks, turned his head slightly, and asked, “Why can’t I kill him?
I still need to exchange him for a bounty.”
“You’re specifically targeting wicked people to kill.
Although I don’t want to admit it, based on the current intel, you are…
killing wicked people.”
“Therefore, Wang Dong is also a wicked person, right?”
Chao Wu continued.
“I don’t have time to listen to your deductions.
Think whatever you want.
Just stay far away from me in the future, and don’t try to catch me again.”
Chi Hong said coldly, then continued walking forward.
“That’s why you can’t kill him!” Chao Wu shouted.
“If he is truly guilty, he shouldn’t die like this.”
“Killed by the assassin Red.”
“His record will only state that law enforcer Wang Dong died a glorious death while attempting to apprehend the assassin Red.”
Chao Wu’s heart raced.
She couldn’t be certain that Wang Dong was a wicked person right now, but she had already decided to investigate him after this incident.
However, just as she said, even if Wang Dong was truly guilty, it should be the law that punished him.
Rather than dying a clean, heroic death as a law enforcer at the hands of the assassin Red!
“If he is guilty, then his family and children shouldn’t receive the treatment meant for the relatives of a hero, should they?”
Chao Wu took a step forward.
She now had a dangerous perception of Red.
She believed that the assassin Red was actually just a Beast Tamer with an overflowing sense of justice!
“Hehe…”
Chi Hong flashed a grin.
The words he spoke chilled Chao Wu’s heart halfway through.
“That’s not something for me to consider, and I don’t care at all.
But now that you mention it, you’ve reminded me that this does disgust me.”
“Otherwise, after I kill him, I might as well go all the way.
I’ll find a time to send his relatives to meet him.”
“When that time comes, publicly speaking, there should be even more people saying that you law enforcers can’t even protect the families of heroes, right?”
“After all, the preferential treatment they enjoy is obtained by stepping on the corpses of innocent people.
People like that aren’t innocent themselves.
If you want to lay blame, blame Wang Dong, or blame yourself, his superior who failed to convict him.”
After speaking, Chi Hong and Lucario quickly vanished from Chao Wu’s line of sight.
In reality, from Chao Wu’s perspective, this set of theories couldn’t withstand scrutiny at all and wasn’t worth pondering.
This was extremely radical, extremist rhetoric!
“Sigh…”
Chao Wu sighed and collapsed onto the ground, as if she had lost all her strength.
This assassin, Red, made her sense an alternative kind of ‘evil’.
