Chapter 52: Reaper
The wolf opened its maw and unleashed a torrent of obsidian energy toward Phillip.
"Fool!" he scoffed. "Beasts!"
His three beasts, the hulking bear, serpentine viper, and a venomous spider, moved, positioning themselves in a defensive formation before him, facing the oncoming attack.
"I know you guys are weakened, but we need to overcome this monstrosity! One last time, unleash your ultimate attacks!"
The three beasts nodded, their eyes glowing with a desperate resolve, and unleashed their combined, powerful beams of energy toward the wolf’s singular, devastating attack.
BOOM!!
The two energies collided with a deafening roar, instantly sending shockwaves rippling outwards, shaking the very ground and stirring the dust into a swirling frenzy.
"Don’t give up! We’ve got this!"
Phillip flicked his wrist, and a crimson card materialized in his hand, its edges glowing with a faint, infernal light. "Rage card! It increases the attack potency of any beast by 50%... The commander specifically instructed me to only utilize this in dire emergencies, so I’ll have to expend it now!"
He hurled the card toward the colossal shadow viper before him.
"It’s a dire predicament that I possess only one of these... And cannot amplify the strength of all three beasts simultaneously."
