These Familiars Are Strange

Even though it woke up now, the Astral White Tiger still didn't actually know what the situation around it was since it had been sleeping the entire time. Once again, it really was amazing that it had been able to sleep through all of that… Looking around, the Astral White Tiger's first response was to look at the heart turtle more carefully. Though it seemed like the Astral White Tiger was seriously observing the heart turtle, it didn't look like it because of its appearance. It was just too cute to be taken seriously while it was observing the heart turtle. But I eventually came back from my daze and recognized that the Astral White Tiger was taking this heart turtle seriously. This was different from how the Astral White Tiger treated all of the other monsters that it encountered. From my observations of the Astral White Tiger, it seemed that it had treated all of the other monsters that we met with disdain. Perhaps as its name suggested, it really was some kind of powerful familiar that could look down on these monsters because of its bloodline. Only it was still a child, so it really didn't have the kind of power that it would have had as an adult. Still, for it to treat the heart turtle with caution like this showed that the heart turtle was different. This heart turtle seemed to actually be something that could make the Astral White Tiger wary, which meant that it had a bloodline that actually was a match for the Astral White Tiger's. As expected of a Boss Monster in a dungeon like this. Once the Astral White Tiger was finished observing the heart turtle, I said, "Can you do what we discussed before?" The Astral White Tiger turned away from the heart turtle and turned back to look at me before giving a nod. Then after giving this nod, it suddenly jumped out of my shirt and landed on my shoulder. After landing on my shoulder, it gave a soft cry which was supposed to be its roar. It was just that the Astral White Tiger hadn't developed enough to actually give a proper roar and instead it just made the Astral White Tiger look cute. But with this cry that it gave, there was a ball of wind that appeared in my hand. Before this, we had been training a bit to match the Astral White Tiger's ability with me. The Astral White Tiger had gotten to the point where it was able to cede control of its elemental energy to me, but it still had to be the one that released this elemental energy in the first place. I took a few seconds to get used to the ball of wind that appeared in my hand before saying, "Fire." At that, the Astral White Tiger also released a small flame that appeared next to the ball of wind. Seeing this, I gave a satisfied nod before turning my attention to the heart turtle. The heart turtle had been fighting with the Luminous Knights Team and the Dark Knights Team during this time. Even though it couldn't be injured by them, it was distracted by them completely. At the same time, the others had been preparing for their attack on the heart turtle, so they didn't notice what I was doing. That was until Leaf suddenly turned over when she felt the elemental energy near her. "What are you…" That was all that she was able to say as I raised my hand to point my palm at the heart turtle. The moment that I did this, the ball of wind that had been gathered turned in a jet stream of wind that was aimed at the heart turtle. After that jet stream reached halfway, I had the small flame enter the ball of wind at the same time. The moment that this small flame entered the ball of wind, the flames quickly spread through that ball of wind and even the jet of wind. In no time at all, there was a jet of flames that were aimed at the heart turtle. The heart turtle immediately sensed something was off and even seemed a bit afraid when it saw the jet of flames. So the only thing that it could do was use one of its limbs to block this jet of flames. The moment that the limb made contact with the jet of flames, there was this scream of pain that came from the heart turtle. Anyone with eyes could see the reason why the heart turtle was screaming out in pain like this. That was because they could see that the flesh of the heart turtle was being burned by these flames. Even though the flames that Huang Tuo used earlier were more intense than these flames, they hadn't caused this kind of damage to the heart turtle. It could be clearly seen that there was something special about these flames. It was the ball of wind that had been gathered ahead of time. Though I had burned the limb of the heart turtle, I couldn't help looking a bit disappointed since it didn't feel like it was strong enough. It felt like there could have been more done to the heart turtle with these flames. It didn't feel like this was all that the flames could have done. After thinking about it, I said, "Lightning." The Astral White Tiger immediately understood and created a bolt of lightning as well that it shot into the jet of flames. As soon as the lightning entered the jet of flames as well, the limb that the turtle used to block the attack suddenly darkened even faster. This continued for a bit longer before it suddenly burst apart. It was as if it exploded from the inside with the way that it burst like this. But the explosion of the limb was enough to scatter the flames and lightning. Still, I had a satisfied look on my face seeing this result.
