These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 165: A snack

The flames that the peacock released seemed to move in a strange manner.

It was almost as if there was something guiding the flames that the peacock released.

No, those flames were already being guided by the peacock in the first place, so that was the wrong way to describe it.

It was as if there was something else that took control of the flames of the peacock as it was no longer surging towards me. It seemed like it was flowing in a strange manner around the peacock instead of following the will of the peacock.

I could even see the look that was on the face of the peacock that showed that it was struggling.

Almost as if it was no longer in control of the flames that it released.

The look on the face of the peacock changed while the flames continued to flow around it like this. The change in the expression that the peacock had showed that it was trying what it could to wrest back control of the flames.

But no matter how hard the peacock seemingly tried, it didn’t seem like it was able to do anything.

It tried its best, but its best just wasn’t enough.

I was very confused about what was happening since it didn’t seem like there was anything that would be able to steal control of these flames from the peacock.

That was until I noticed that the flames seemed to be flowing towards me.

When I saw those flames flowing towards me, I immediately raised the trident in my hand again and prepared to gather the water once more to block it. I didn’t know why those flames were coming at me, but it was a fact that they were coming at me.

I couldn’t let myself just be burnt like this because I was in a daze.

Or that was what I thought until I realized that the flames weren’t actually coming at me.

Even though they were flowing in my direction, it didn’t seem like the flames had any intentions to hurt me.

With the way that they slowly drifted towards me, it even seemed like whatever was controlling the flames was right behind me. Or rather, it seemed like it was right where I was standing.

I certainly wasn’t the one controlling these flames, so what was it?

It was only at that moment that I remembered that there was something inside of my shirt.

I had summoned this thing out earlier because it had insisted on being summoned and it had actually led us to where the gnome controlling the living armour was. But after that, it just went into my shirt to sleep as if it had already completely lost interest in everything.

Because of what happened, I had also forgotten that this little white thing was in my shirt.

The Astral White Tiger’s little white and fluffy head was poking out of the top of my shirt and it was facing the flames that were coming at me. At the same time, the Astral White Tiger’s mouth was open and it seemed to be sucking something in.

With the way that things were, it was clear that the thing the Astral White Tiger was sucking in was the flames that the peacock released.

But realizing this surprised me.

I knew that the Astral White Tiger had the Elemental Control ability, but wasn’t this a bit too broken?

After all, the peacock should be at a higher level than the Astral White Tiger even if it had an imposing name. Even with the Elemental Control ability, the Astral White Tiger shouldn’t be able to seize control of the peacock’s flame that easily.

The peacock should be at a higher level than the Astral White Tiger and should have flames that were too strong for the Astral White Tiger to suck in like this.

But the look of ease on the face of the Astral White Tiger’s face showed that it wasn’t struggling at all to absorb the flames of the peacock.

It was as if it was a snack for the Astral White Tiger with the way that it even seemed to have a smile on its face.

Eventually, it seemed like the peacock ran out of flames as it stopped releasing these flames to attack us.

But since it did this, that meant that Huang Tuo also ran out of flames.

That put Huang Tuo in a dangerous situation, but there was a reason why he was one of the top contenders. Even when he lost the flame armour, there were magic items that he could use to protect himself.

It seemed that he had lost all interest in the Master Gnome.

At this moment, it seemed like he was running back to protect his peacock.

The same peacock who seemed like it wouldn’t be able to protect itself.

Before I could go forward to land the finishing blow, the Astral White Tiger actually moved before me. Though to actually call it a move was a bit of a stretch.

"Burp."

The Astral White Tiger just gave a burp as if it was stuffed after eating the flames of the peacock. But at the same time, it seemed to have a bit of indigestion from swallowing all those flames, so it actually spat out a bit of flames after giving this burp.

Since the peacock was right in front of us, it was the one that was hit with the flames that the Astral White Tiger let out.

But since it was flames, the peacock didn’t seem worried.

It even seemed to take this as a chance since it thought that it would be able to absorb these flames and recover a bit of its power.

Only the moment that the flames made contact with the peacock…

"Screech!"

The peacock let out a scream of pain before jumping back to avoid the flames, but it was already too late since the peacock had made contact with the flames.

There was a large patch of the peacock’s skin that was covered in burns.

It never would have expected to be burned by flames like this.
