Chapter 1061: Chapter 1278: Heavy Damage
Julian fixed his gaze on the wisp of black smoke and activated his Probing Eyes.
[Pseudo "Demon God" Power: A black smoke containing a trace of the "Demon God's" Power. Pokémon corrupted by the "Demon God" can absorb it, and upon absorption, their strength increases.]
Seeing this information, Julian understood why an additional peak Champion Pokémon had suddenly appeared moments ago.
It had absorbed the black smoke emitted by other fallen Pokémon. And now, after that peak Champion had Pokémon died, this black smoke was absorbed by a Garchomp, and the energy contained within it was even greater than before.
As a result, after absorbing this wisp, the Garchomp's strength surged from late-stage Champion level straight to the peak of Champion tier, and the aura it now gave off was even stronger than that of the ten original peak Champion Pokémon.
"This Demon God guy is just never-ending!"
Julian cursed under his breath.
Eight of the Master's thirty Champion-level Pokémon had now died, yet their deaths had created an even stronger peak Champion opponent.
And with every death, the power of the black smoke became stronger.
Once absorbed by another Pokémon, the recipient's strength would increase even faster.
Among the Master's twenty-two remaining Champion-level Pokémon, eleven were now at the peak Champion tier, and the rest were all at the late-stage Champion-level.
Those at the early- and mid-stage Champion-level had already perished, and the power from their deaths had been absorbed by the surviving Pokémon.
Even the original ten peak Champion opponents had likely absorbed some of the black smoke, making them somewhat stronger than they were at the start.
"Miloo!"
Just as Julian was racking his brain for a way to break the stalemate, he suddenly heard Milotic's agonized cry.
He turned his head and saw Milotic's long body tightly clamped by all three jaws of a Hydreigon.
Its razor-sharp teeth pierced through Milotic's skin, and in an instant, blood streamed down from the wounds.
This Hydreigon was also a peak Champion.
Its tremendous biting force drove not just its teeth, but even its mouths deep into Milotic's flesh.
Among Julian's current Champion-level Pokémon, Milotic had the weakest overall foundation.
Though even if it had been Tyranitar or Arcanine in its place, neither of them would be able to stand against a peak Champion Hydreigon right now.
Under Hydreigon's Crunch, Milotic's tough scales might as well have been sheets of paper. Not only were its skin and flesh torn through, but even some of its internal organs were crushed.
Milotic cried out in pain as blood continuously poured from its mouth. Yet even so, it kept whipping Hydreigon relentlessly with its tail.
Under the influence of the Demon God, Hydreigon's sense of pain was drastically reduced.
Let alone these feeble, weak lashings, even if a hole was torn open in its belly, as long as it wasn't dead, it would still keep moving.
Riiip—!
Hydreigon gave a violent tug, tearing a huge chunk of flesh from Milotic's body.
It wolfed the pieces down in massive, greedy mouthfuls, its expression one of utter satisfaction.
Three bloody holes appeared on Milotic's body, skin and flesh gone, and within them, one could even see the pulsating and ruptured organs inside.
"Milo…"
Milotic's usually melodious voice was now filled with nothing but searing agony.
Yet its gaze remained incredibly resolute. Ignoring its grievous wounds, it swung an Iron Tail fiercely at Hydreigon's face.
But the opponent didn't even stagger a single step backward.
"Damnit!"
Hearing Milotic's pained cries, Julian cursed, his gaze snapped to Lucario, who was closest to Milotic.
"Luca!"
Aura is with me!
In the brief moment between closing and opening his eyes, Julian completed his Aura link with Lucario.
He didn't use Mega Evolution, because the time for that had not yet come.
Under the Aura link, Lucario's level surged from 92 to 93.

"Luca!"
Facing a peak Champion opponent, Lucario immediately activated the Burst State.
As its stamina rapidly drained away, the power of its Fighting-type moves surged by 200%.
Extreme Speed!
Its body vanished from the spot, reappearing directly in front of the Hydreigon. Its left palm pressed flat against the Hydreigon's abdomen.
Force Palm!
A gentle yet terrifyingly destructive force surged into the Hydreigon's body in a bizarre, invasive manner, simultaneously generating a powerful shockwave.
With a thunderous bang, Hydreigon was sent flying backward by the shockwave, while the internal force continued ravaging the organs inside its body.
Of course, this alone was far from enough to kill it—it barely even qualified as serious damage.
But this was only the beginning.
"Luca!"
Using Extreme Speed, Lucario chased after the hurtling Hydreigon.
Its left fist gathered energy—a white aura enveloping it as if wrapping the fist in an ethereal gauntlet.
Focus Punch!
BOOM!!!
The punch slammed directly into Hydreigon's middle head, and with a sickening crack, the neck snapped instantly.
But at the same moment, Hydreigon's two remaining heads, one on each side, simultaneously bit down onto Lucario's shoulders—razor-sharp teeth pierced straight through its arms.
Lucario's expression remained cold and utterly emotionless, as if it couldn't feel pain at all.
Its hands each grabbed hold of one of Hydreigon's remaining heads.
And with a forceful squeeze of its palms, there were two crisp cracks, and the necks of both heads were snapped cleanly by Lucario's grip.
But the opponent was still not dead. The three necks were merely broken, not severed.
"Luca!"
A white bone staff materialized in Lucario's hand, and with tremendous force it swung toward all three of the Hydreigon's heads.
It wasn't that there were no Pokémon available to support the Hydreigon, but every single one that tried was intercepted by Metagross using Teleport.
