Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

Chapter 74 - Pet, Thunderball

The Thunder Beast was a special-class monster. It was a light blue ball of thunder. It did not have a physical form.

The Thunder Beast was also immune to physical attacks and could explode at any time.

Vincent and his team looked at the monster. They did not know what to do.

This was the first time they had encountered a monster that was immune to physical attacks. Amongst the five of them, Avril was the only one who could not deal damage to it at all.

A high-level monster was not a problem for them. Although they might take a while to kill it, they will still kill it in the end.

However, the Thunder Beast was a special-class monster.

Given the circumstances, the outcome of the battle was unpredictable.

Vincent looked at the four of them. They were all full of fighting spirit.

Vincent knew that it was not realistic for them to retreat. This was because the Thunder Beast was eyeing them like a tiger eyeing its prey. It could launch an attack at them at any time.

"Chris, you need to transform into a monster that has elemental damage. Focus on the wood and earth elements."

Since they could not retreat, Vincent started to give orders to his team.

"Angelina, pay attention and use your superpower on the Thunder Beast. You need to prevent it from self-destructing."

"Nabil, prepare to buff Chris and me. Prepare your 100,000 Lightning Strikes."

"Avril, protect Angelina and Nabil."

After he arranged their battle positions, Vincent pulled out his Purgatory Blade. He then raised his hand to cast Fire Net.

"Mimicry, Fire Net!"

The Collapsing Mountain Strike and Fire Net were no longer officially on the list of Vincent's combat skills. However, after using Mimicry, Vincent felt that any combat skills that he used became much smoother and were more powerful than before.

Swoosh!

The Fire Net suddenly appeared beside the Thunder Beast. It then started shrinking.

However, the Thunder Beast's movements were very fast. It escaped from the Fire Net in a blink of an eye.

Chris roared. He took a green crystal core and swallowed it unwillingly.

Chris did not like to attack from a distance. He preferred close combat.

He liked the feeling of walking on the edge of life and death. The feeling of danger made him very excited.

Boom!

Chris's body suddenly enlarged in size and slowly transformed into a towering tree.

He was a high-level monster, the Towering Tree.

With one violent shake, he could send out countless leaves to attack the Thunder Beast.

After seeing Chris's attack, Vincent slapped his forehead.

"Chris, isn't this also a physical attack?" asked Vincent.

Chris suddenly stopped shaking his body. It was awkward.

Vincent did not bother to wait any longer. He grabbed a vine that was burning with black flames using both his hands.

It was the Fire Vine!

However, the Fire Vine this time seemed to be more powerful and resilient than before.

Vincent also felt like he was more adept at controlling the Fire Vine.

The Thunder Beast completely ignored the leaves that were flying towards it. Vincent's Fire Vine was also about to strike the Thunder Beast. However, the Thunder Beast jumped in time and dodge the Fire Vine easily.

"Holy Light Binding!"

Nabil seized the opportunity and released Holy Light Binding. He managed to trap the Thunder Beast.

"100,000 Lightning Strikes!"

Nabil launched another attack.

Boom!

The 100,000 Lightning Strikes struck the Thunder Beast's body. However, instead of killing it, it made it grow bigger in size.

"F*ck! The Thunder Beast is a thunder attribute monster. You gave it 100,000 Lightning Strikes! You're not helping!"

Chris cursed at Nabil in a low voice.

Chris shook his body again. Countless illusory emerald leaves appeared around him.

"Hahaha! I'm a genius! I thought of such a brilliant method!"

"Illusion leaf flying kill!"

The illusory emerald leaves flew towards the Thunder Beast once again.

However, the Thunder Beast still did not dodge Chris's attack. After breaking free from the Holy Light Binding, the Thunder Beast started to expand. Countless electric arcs that were as thick as a baby's finger shot out towards Vincent and the others.

Vincent's expression changed. He jumped in front of everyone and used his right hand to form a shield. The shield was burning with black flames. He then used the shield to block the Thunder Beast's electric arcs.

"Absorb!"

"No!"

Angelina saw the Thunder Beast expanding. She thought that it was going to explode, so she quickly used her superpower.

Vincent noticed that Angelina was about to use her superpower. He tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Vincent had learned about the characteristics and attack forms of the respective monsters from the book that Teacher Chris gave him.

When the Thunder Beast started to expand, he could tell from a glance that it was just the Thunder Beast's way of attacking.

Angelina had a good foundation and had studied monsters as well.

It was impossible for her to not be able to tell apart the Thunder Beast's attack methods. Her body was probably tensed up due to stress. When she saw the Thunder Beast expanding, she started to attack subconsciously.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for learning the Thunder Arc!"

"What? Thunder Arc?"

Vincent was stunned. He was only focused on the Thunder Beast monster. He did not look anywhere else. Where did this combat skill come from?

He could not understand it at all. The only explanation would be that the combat skill came from the Thunder Beast.

"Mimicry, Thunder Arc!"

Vincent used Thunder Arc without any hesitation. Blue electric arcs that were as thick as a baby's arm shot out from his hands.

Its speed was extremely fast. In just one breath, the arcs flew dozens of meters and struck the Thunder Beast's body.

Boom!

The Thunder Beast that was being controlled by Angelina started to shrink. Just as it returned to its normal size, it was hit by Vincent's Thunder Arc. Its body expanded instantly. It grew ten times its original size.

Bang!

The Thunder Beast exploded.

A Thunderball that was the size of a soybean with a light blue crystal core fell onto the ground.

Vincent's system notification sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully killing a special-class monster, Thunder Beast. You have obtained the black hole myriad races atlas."

What was this?

Vincent looked at the atlas in his backpack.

"Black hole myriad races atlas is an atlas that records the names, forms, habits, social structures, and other information regarding the various races on the other side of the black hole."

"Remark 1: The monster is just a pet of the various races on the other side of the black hole."

"Remark 2: Where do you think the monster of the black hole is from? And what is on the other side of the black hole? This world is far from simple..."

"Remark 3: No Access."

"Remark 4: No Access."

…

Vincent widened his eyes in shock and stood rooted on the ground. He did not even notice when a Little Thunder Ball came to his side and spun around him happily.

He was shocked by the introduction in the black hole myriad races atlas.

There was simply too much information in there.

Plus, there were also a series of comments in the atlas. However, it stopped at the second entry. It was obvious that there were other hints, but Vincent could not continue to read them. He could not understand why.

"Vincent! Vincent! What's wrong?" asked Angelina repeatedly.

Vincent suddenly shivered and turned to look at Angelina.

"What's wrong?" asked Vincent.

Angelina was speechless.

"It's not what's wrong with me, it's what's wrong with you. Ever since you entered the black hole, you've been acting strange," said Angelina.

Vincent shook his head and just kept quiet. He did not plan to tell the four of them about the atlas.

This matter was of great importance. It was not something that could be talked about casually, nor could it be easily explained.

"I'm fine," said Vincent.

He just smiled. He did not say anything further.

"Eh? What is this?" asked Vincent.

Vincent noticed the Little Thunder Ball on his shoulder. His face was full of curiosity.

He could feel intimacy and joy from the Little Thunder Ball.

There was some kind of inexplicable connection between him and the Little Thunder Ball.

Angelina shrugged and said, "I don't know what it is, but it looks like a Thunder Beast. However, it is much smaller and much weaker. It seems to be quite close to you, and it is not hostile, so we don't care."

Vincent stretched out his finger and poked the Little Thunder Ball. The Little Thunder Ball responded by rubbing against his finger.

"This little guy is quite fun. Although I don't know why you're here with me, but since you're here, you can be my partner," said Vincent.

After hearing what Vincent had said, the Little Thunder Ball flew up again and circled around Vincent. It looked very happy.

The system's notification sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for subduing a pet: Thunder Beast (unnamed). Please go to the character panel to check the pet's attributes."

Vincent opened the character panel curiously.

Vincent closed his character panel and looked at the Little Thunder Ball.

He thought for a moment and said, "From now on, you shall be called Thunderball."

Thunderball flew onto Vincent's face and rubbed against him intimately. It was obvious that it liked its name very much.
