The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

The Black Tiger, who was in pain due to the wound, roared once more, signaling Rishi that he was fine. Rishi looked at his contract beast and was slightly taken aback by the situation before making a decision.

"Sheru, use 'Extreme Speed' and approach it while using 'Tiger Claw,' " commanded Rishi.

Sheru followed Rishi's command, and his body started glowing a light blue. He jumped at his opponent while its claws started to shine in a red glow.

Kajal didn't know what was in Rishi's mind but commanded her contract beast, "Daisy, don't back down and use 'Thunder Claw.' "

"What's going on? Why did Rishab suddenly command his contract beast to approach the opponent when he is clearly at a disadvantage, Anjali, what do you think?" said the commentator.

"Isn't it simple? A famous quote says, 'Offense is the best Defense,' and he's only taking that approach. There is no reason for him to fight his opponent from a distance when it has long-ranged spells."

"It may be more powerful in close range, but it is a mage class contract beast at the end of the day. It lacks in experience when it comes to close-range battles," said Anjali.

"Now that you mentioned it, it makes sense, and Rishab has still not given up; this guy really has nerves of steel," praised the commentator.

Sheru was in the air when Rishi commanded out of nowhere, "Sheru, use the metal claw."

A golden glint appeared in Sheru's eyes as he looked at his opponent and saw a red mark on the neck of the opponent. Sheru's claw also started glowing in silver color before a metallic layer appeared on it and increased its size.

Daisy's 'Thunder Claw' landed on Sheru's left shoulder, causing him to cry, but he roared and resisted before landing his claw on the red mark.

A big metallic claw covered in a red glow landed on the part of the armor covering the neck; Daisy was thrown back by the impact of a small explosion.

When Sheru recovered from the attack, Rishi smiled as he looked at Kajal to see her reaction, but his grin vanished when he saw her look at him with a mocking expression.

"Game over, Rishab; I've been gentle with you up to this point, and you're mistaking it for a weakness. Be prepared now, and do anything you want because the result is already decided," said Kajal, as the mark on her forehead started shining before it started shining simultaneously with the mark on Daisy. She commanded, "Daisy, use 'Fury of the Weak.' "

A red glow appeared on Daisy's body as she started shrinking back to her normal form. The broken armor also disappeared and became the pearl again.

When Rishi saw the red glow concentrate and form a large ball above her, he got chills and commanded his contract beast, "Sheru, use 'Dash' and eliminate it quickly."

Sheru jumped at Daisy; Kajal also saw this, and her lips curled up in a smile as she commanded, "Daisy, use 'Lightning Shock.' "

A bolt of lightning appeared from the air above Sheru and hit him, making his body paralyzed. The red sphere transformed into a portal from which a giant claw appeared and was about to hit Sheru.

Rishi saw this and commanded, "Sheru, use the 'Shield of the Emperor.' "

Sheru used the skill again, and a giant shield again appeared above him. The red claw, which looked ancient and powerful, made contact with Sheru's shield, but what others thought happened didn't. It bypassed it as light bypassed the glass and landed on Sheru, which canceled Sheru's ability, and he cried in agony.

"Sheru!" said Rishi, his eyes moist. "How is it possible?"

Everyone was speechless as the Black Tiger collapsed on the ground; they looked at Kajal and had the same thought: 'Monster,' that's what people call someone who does something like that.

A huge presence erupted from Rishi's body, surprising everyone; he kept staring at his contract beast, who was still struggling to stand up despite being at such a disadvantage. Rishi looked him in the eyes and said, "Enough, I'm surrendering."

"It's alright, Sheru, you have done enough; it's my fault that we lost. I should have also focused on learning support-type spells," Sheru roared back at Rishi.

Rishi patted his contract beast before summoning it back as the barrier vanished. He looked at Kajal one last time before leaving the battle arena.

Daisy was also called back by Kajal, who had a complicated expression on her face as she looked at the back of Rishi. She also made the decision to leave the Battle Arena.

"At last it ended, Anjali; what was that last spell, and why did it pass through the shield?" asked the commentator.

"I believe that spell was a 'curse type Damage transfer' spell, which also makes the target unable to act for some time. This type of spell rebounds the damage received by the user to the opponent."

"As for why it passed through the shield, I believe it was an unavoidable spell that normal shields could not stop," Anjali explained.

"Rishab tried very hard in the battle, but he realized at last that he was helpless against her. She has come prepared for this match," she added.

Rishi was going back when someone came from behind and said, "You did well; you were at a disadvantage against her from the start, but then you also pushed her to her limits."

"You also believe that?" asked Rishi.

"Isn't it so?" said the boy.

"She didn't even try. If she had used a powerful spell from the start, I would have already lost, and didn't you see at last that her contract beast was without even a scratch?"

"She was playing with me all the time," he added in a cold tone.

"You are underestimating yourself very much, Rishab; you didn't have any support-type spells, but you also performed well. If she hadn't had such a big advantage against you, you could have won," said Vinay.

"A defeat is a defeat, Vinay; I need to learn some support spells, which is a fact, but thanks for supporting me," said Rishi.

"Come on, it's what friends do," said Vinay. Rishi looked back and saw a guy in a strange skull mask.

"What's up with this mask?" asked Rishi.

"It's just for fun," Vinay laughed.

"Follow me and show me your contract beast; let's see how much it has changed," said Rishi.
