These Familiars Are Strange

However, it didn't seem like they were able to seriously injure the heart turtle as the skin came together and closed up the wound. It seemed that with just this level of attack, they wouldn't be able to break through that easily. Still, it seemed that the leaders of the Luminous Knights Team and the Dark Knights Team had figured something out based on the looks on their faces. It really seemed that they had figured out a way to defeat the heart turtle. They turned back to look at the members of their teams and for the first time, they actually moved. Normally, it would be these two leaders showing off their powers, but this time it was the entire team that was fighting. Well, the entire team other than the two leaders. They were fighting to create space for their leaders to do what they were planning to do. The leaders of these two teams pulled back and came over to where we were standing. At the same time, they waved their hands for the Fire God Team and the Shining Bolts Team to come over as well. The Fire God Team and the Shining Bolts Team both seemed wary of the two of them, but they still came over to see what they wanted. The fact that they were comfortable enough to have a talk while their teammates were fighting, that just went to show how much trust these two leaders had in their teams. At the same time, it was a demonstration of the power possessed by these two teams that they were actually able to hold off not just the boss, but also the manta rays. It even seemed like they were doing this without even breaking a sweat, but one could see from time to time that looks of strain appeared on their faces. It didn't seem like it was completely easy for them to stop them. Especially since all of their attacks just seemed to bounce off the defenses of the heart turtle. It really didn't seem like anything that they were doing had an effect on the heart turtle. But they at least easily pushed back the manta rays. Once everyone was gathered, the leader of the Luminous Knights Team said, "The boss has a special ability that allows it to negate elemental energy." "Huh?" All of us were caught off guard by this. After all, not a single one of us expected the leader of the Luminous Knights Team to open with this. Sure we expected him to ask us to work with him to take down the heart turtle, but to open with this… He was basically giving away precious information like this for free. It didn't seem to make sense at all. The leader of the Luminous Knights Team didn't seem bothered at all by our reactions as he continued by saying, "But the limit that it has is one element at a time. It seems to be unable to withstand the attacks of different elements at the same time." "That doesn't seem to be the case. After all, you attacked it with light and dark elements when you were fighting it earlier, but it seemed like it was able to block it. It seemed that it was only the special attack that you used that it couldn't block." Huang Tuo said with knitted brows. The others all nodded in agreement to this, including me. After all, it really seemed like it was only because they used a special attack that they were able to penetrate the defenses of the heart turtle. But the leader of the Luminous Knights Team just said with a shake of his head, "That wasn't a special attack, it was just an attack where we combined our powers into one. There's far stronger attacks at our disposal, it's just that they aren't suited to be used here since they take too much time to prepare." "You can call them our final attacks." The leader of the Dark Knights Team added at the end of this. Everyone looked at him with a strange look when they heard this, but then we turned back to look at the leader of the Luminous Knights Team. With a calm look on his face, he said, "So we'll have to work together to take down this boss. Only if we combine our elemental energy attacks will we be able to take down this boss." The other teams looked at him with strange looks when they heard this. It seemed like there was part of them that didn't seem to believe what the leader of the Luminous Knights Team was saying… But in the end, it seemed like they had been convinced by him. It seemed that at the very least, they were willing to go along with him to try what he had suggested. Only I couldn't help thinking of something else. He had mentioned elemental energy and there was one thing that I knew that had abundant elemental energy. It reached the point where it was even able to eat the elemental energy from other things. And recently, I had figured out another one of its abilities. So it seemed that I would be the perfect choice to fight this heart turtle. I still wanted to place first in this competition since there was a prize that I wanted. With that thought in mind, I called out the Astral White Tiger. Though I didn't summon it from my familiar space since it was already outside. It was currently still inside of my shirt sleeping, though it was amazing that it had been able to sleep through all of this. It seemed like it didn't have any intention of waking up, even though we were in this dangerous situation. But it did wake up when I poked it in the cheek, though it only seemed to wake up because it was annoyed that I was waking it up like this. In the end, I said, "It's time to work." That was when the Astral White Tiger finally chose to wake up.
