My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—-Chapter 369 Fourth Match

The second opponent had already integrated with his beast but he figured that he wouldn't be able to fight head-to-head against the beast master even with his dual beast integration. That's why he decided to recall his tamed beast and integrate with two of his most powerful ones. There was no need for him to save his energy since it would all be for nothing if they lose the match anyways. He had no other choice but to go through with such a risk.

And he wasn't the only one who decided to go all out. Even Luke Skyrunner, White Mist, and Yun Zhe, never intended to hold back since everything was on the line for this match.

As soon as White Mist caught up to their second opponent, he extended his hand and tried to control him with Jurah's psychic abilities. The second opponent barely dodge the force, and he whipped his legs in an erratic manner as he approached White Mist. In that instant, he summoned his tamed beast that specializes in speed, and then for his second tamed beast, he summoned his one and only legendary beast nicknamed the chimera due to its striking resemblance with the mythical creature.

Yun Zhe and Luke Skyrunner were also engaged in their own little war, counterattacking and parrying each and every strike as they continued to clash. One of Yun Zhe's claws snapped, and it was flung toward White Mist who was just about to attack the other opponent. In a split second, he flinched, but not before the claw dug into his cheeks.

Just before he attacked the second opponent, however, White Mist got pinned on the ground as a head of a snake lashed out and bit him on the shoulder. "Aghk~!" He let out a scream as he fell to the ground, a crater forming right behind him.

Before he could struggle to break free, strong claws then dug into his other shoulder, and he lost his concentration. White Mist watched in horror as something grotesque appeared in front of him. His right arm had the form of a lion and his left arm had the appearance of a snake. A scaled tale lashed behind his back, and wings grew on his back. His face, which was previously hooded, now had a mask of porcelain.

"The name's Joe, and I'm going to defeat you, beast master." The second opponent called out, a malicious grin appearing on his face as if he fully intended to kill White Mist while pinning him to the ground.

While his appearance was tolerable and was in no way creepy, White Mist felt chills up and down his spine as Joe spoke. Overwhelming power seeped out of Joe, and it threatened White Mist who had been doubting his power and title as beast master all this time. In terms of psychological warfare, White Mist had already lost by a landslide.

Without further ado, Joe started feeding poison on White Mist, thanks to his left hand which was in the form of a snake. "The chimera's poison does have an antidote... but I'm not going to give it to you until you forfeit. You only have a minute until you die, beast master... what's it going to be? Are you going to forfeit, or are you going to die? It's your choice."

Joe had gotten the upper hand, but to his utter confusion, White Mist didn't look defeated at all. A few seconds ago, he seemed like he was going to be defeated but right now, Joe could tell that White Mist had not given up. A smile was written on his face despite the fact that he was flinching in pain.

The poison was already coursing through his bloodstream and yet he still found the leisure to smile. That action was a little bit disturbing for Joe.

And then White Mist started laughing. It wasn't even a weak and nervous chuckle, but a bout of raucous laughter which surprised everyone, even Yun Zhe. "You think you're the only one who's got the upper hand? If you know who I am, then you know Death Metronome's powers, right?" White Mist pointed out. "I have this skill that reflects the damage to my opponent. If I'm going to die in a minute, then I'm taking you with me."

"Are you sure about that? You do know that the chimera poison doesn't work against me. If you're going to reflect the damage, then it won't have any effect on me. And either way, you're going to die... and I'm going to team up with Luke over there and bring down Yun Zhe." Joe continued.

"I'm not talking about its effects, Joe... I'm talking about the result of the inflicted damage." White Mist felt the poison in his system, causing his organs to spasm. However, he still maintained his calm demeanor. Despite the pain he felt, he still held on, fully knowing that he'd be able to bring down Joe with him no matter what happens. "If the end result is me dying, then you're dying with me."

"Jokes on you, that's exactly my intention. I'm confident that Luke can easily defeat Yun Zhe. If you die now, you're going to lose. I, on the other hand, have contingency plans. I'm not going to die after I get rid of you."

White Mist could tell that Joe wasn't kidding when he said that. For the first time during the match, he felt totally defeated. As seconds passed, he took a glance towards Yun Zhe who seemed to be having a hard time against Luke Skyrunner. There was no way he'd be able to win if Joe teams up with Luke. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"I guess it's time for you to show my ultimate move. You leave me no choice." White Mist mumbled to himself as his entire body transformed into a White Wolf. He then grabbed Joe by the shoulders and hugged him as tight as he could.

"Are you going to push me out of bounds? You do know I could fly, right?" Joe spoke but there was a certain shakiness in his voice. His nervousness didn't stem from White Mist's desperation, but from his vice-like grip that he couldn't struggle out of.

"Not really." White Mist muttered, turning his head a second time towards Yun Zhe. Up until now, he still couldn't believe that he wasn't the strongest beast tamer in the world anymore. He was reduced to the level of a mere disciple in the Black Fog Faction. He compelled himself to put a smile on his face as he tightened his hold on Joe.

And with one final glance, he nodded his head toward his teammate Yun Zhe, before pulling off a suicidal technique.

Self Destruct!

It was one of the most basic strategies when it comes to beast tamer matches. If one was severely under-leveled, they'd just have to go with the ways of the kamikaze. "Tenno heika banzai~ you son of a—"

BOOM!

The explosion was beyond anything that anyone had ever witnessed. A cloud in the shape of a mushroom rose up from where the explosion ensued, and the intense shockwave that was produced by the explosion was enough to rock the seats of every spectator. Then they heard a crack, and images of broken glass suddenly appeared all throughout the grand stage.

CRASH!

Screams were heard from the audience as the shattering of glass was heard. Apparently, the explosion was so strong that it broke the barrier that surrounded the grand stage. In all the previous years of Official Beast Tournaments, this was the first time it happened. What White Mist did was far beyond any power that everyone had ever witnessed. It was the ultimate attack, but at what cost?

An updraft was felt coming from the mushroom cloud. The warm air caused clouds to form above the grand stage, and a shower ensued.

Amidst the rain, two bodies lie unconscious in the middle of the grand stage. Fortunately, Joe and White Mist were still in their beast integration form, that's why they didn't really die when the explosion struck. It did leave them unconscious, however, but they didn't die.

In an instant, the Nurse was brought to the grand stage and she immediately gave White Mist some first aid since he was poisoned. As it turned out, Joe was actually lying. The poison, although incurable, wouldn't kill White Mist in a minute. It would actually take effect in five minutes or so.

And ass for Luke Skyrunner and Yun Zhe, they too were affected by the explosion, but Yun Zhe managed to create a shield right before White Mist activated his self-destruct. In that instant wherein White Mist nodded towards Yun Zhe, Yun Zhe understood what he implied, and he managed to save himself just in time.

Luke Skyrunner wasn't the same, however. He also caught the brunt of the explosion, and it sent him to the other side of the Grand Stage. While he would've been able to guard himself against such an attack, he wasn't expecting someone to activate some sort of self-destruct skill and it caught him off-guard. The explosion wasn't enough to knock him out, but it did send him out of bounds.

"AND THE WINNER OF THE FOURTH MATCH IS—" The commentator, with a shaky voice, screamed at the mic. "WHITE MIST AND YUN ZHE!"

As soon as the announcement was heard throughout the entire American Dome, Yun Zhe staggered, and he fell to the ground with a thud. He wasn't knocked unconscious, but the shock from the explosion damaged his eardrums, and he fell to the ground before he realized it.
