Tamer of Cosmic Beasts

"My Liege, these are my 5 contracted war beasts!"

Akash carefully looked over those beasts. Because of his vast knowledge, he knew every detail about them. Akash had an idea of what their teamwork would look like but he was wondering why Haji Tea chose such low ranking beasts.

"Mr. Haji, why did you choose low-level bloodline beasts? You said you were rich, so couldn't you have just bought high bloodline beasts with the same attributes?"

Haji Tea was looking at Akash Tagar with shocked eyes.

"My Liege, I bought that thunder sword boar for 100 million cosmic coins, and this boar was the best one available at the auction.

Many envied me for having a 10 Star Nobility ranked beast. Otherwise, my family wouldn't have spent this amount on a beast for me."

Akash was confused, a 10 Star ranked beast had such a huge reputation on this planet and the puny amount of 100 million cosmic coins was considered as a big sum of money here.

Akash had the right to be confused because his Fairy Planet was very rich in beasts, herbs and business.

100 million cosmic coins were the amount of monthly pocket money for some young masters of big families.

A 10 Star bloodline beasts were used as the 1st beasts for new tamers.

There were beasts of the Star King Nobility rank bloodline and there were even a few beasts with a Star Emperor Nobility tank bloodline.

Compared to The Fairy Planet, The Earth Planet was weak and poor.

"Oh, I see."

Akash replied and continued.

"Mr. Haji, may I ask why did you choose these beasts? Or did you just randomly choose them?

"No, no, My Liege. I chose each of them to fill a crucial role in battle."

Akash Tagar already had an idea of their compatibility in battle but he wanted more details.

"Can you elaborate that?"

"Certainly, my liege."

Haji Tea looked towards his beasts.

"In battle, when I call all my beasts, they do the jobs that were trained for. The Thousand Eyed Eagle, Black Green Python and Thunder Sword Boar attack the enemy first to buy time for the Mist Spider and the Steel Clawed Mole.

The former spread its sticky web across the entire battlefield and immobilizes its opponents along with creating a fog-like effect to impede their sight.

The latter, on the other hand, will dig tunnels underground.

Then, the Black Green python will spit its venom spray on the webs which will make them poisonous on top of immobilizing while the Thousand Eyed Eagle will fly over the battlefield to keep an eye out as it isn't affected by the fog.

After everything is done, Thunder Sword Boar and Steel Clawed Mole will start their attack, using the multiple ground holes.

They both can go anywhere on the battlefield and land a devastating attack using their tusks and claws respectively, while the opponent and their beasts will become blinded by the mist.

If they recklessly move, they will be poisoned by the webs while if they enter the unfamiliar tunnels, they will be killed by the boar and mole.

If by chance, something manages to survive all of this and reach me, I will just kill it with my spear."

Akash was looking at Haji Tea with twitching eyebrows.

"Did you believe this would work?"

"Yes, My Liege, I've won countless competitions with this plan."

Akash was shocked once again, he thought 'are the humans so powerful that they can win battles with such a plan? or maybe they haven't encountered a strong opponent yet'

He raised his one eyebrow and asked Haji.

"Mr. Haji, have you ever fought in an open battlefield with no walls and no boundaries?"

Haji Tea hesitated and answered.

"Yes... My Liege. Only one time during a beasts raid."

"And what were the results?"

Akash asked in a sharp tone.

"We won. We killed the beasts."

"I'm talking about yourself. How many beasts were you actually able to kill with this perfect plan of yours?"

Haji Tea was silent, he didn't reply.

Akash smiled and asked again

"Mr. Haji, I asked a question?"

"My Liege, I couldn't kill anyone. The Mist Spider couldn't cover the whole field with its webs and neither could the Steel Clawed Mole dig enough tunnels.

So, we had to fight them head-on and only the Black Green Python and Thunder Sword Boar could handle them. By the end of it, they had also received fatal wounds".

Akash pointed his index finger towards Haji Tea.

"That is the point, Earl Haji. You have never fought any strong opponents or beasts.

First, your plan is completely useless on an open battlefield where more than one tamer is fighting you.

Second, your battle plan will fall apart even on a limited battlefield, if one of your main beasts is killed."

Haji Tea was silent, his eyes showed that he didn't want to agree with Akash Tagar's second point.

How could his beast be killed when the opponent would be cornered from the very start of the battle?.

Akash sighed and spoke.

"Alright, I can give you a demonstration."

A star dwelling portal opened behind Akash's back and a little panda came out.

Haji Tea was shocked to see this panda. He had never seen such a beast yet, he was not afraid of it for 2 reasons.

The first of which was that in this world, pandas were not used as war beasts, instead, they were used as mere pets for their cuteness.

Not to mention they were useless in an actual battle due to their shy and docile nature.

While the second reason was that, Haji Tea was unaware of the bloodline rank of this panda otherwise he would have collapsed in shock.

The panda was sitting on the floor and hugging its golden staff. It was looking at everyone.

Akash could feel the emotions of the panda, the panda was nervous to see other big beasts for the first time but surprisingly, it wasn't afraid of them.

When the panda looked at Akash, its nervousness vanished, he turned happy and bold.

The God Demon Panda never saw Akash as its master, but it saw Akash as its parent.

Akash Tagar also understood the pure relation between them, he carried the panda in his arms and said.

"My lovely ponytail, these guys are trying to fight your father, should we teach them a lesson?"

Within a second, the docile panda became enraged and cooed in anger.

Haji Tea chuckled and his beasts made a mocking expression.

"I'm sorry, My Liege but this panda is only at the 1 Star realm. Is it okay for it to fight my beasts? It could even get hurt from a simple spar."

"It's okay, Mr. Haji. It won't take long. I just want to show you that if one of your beasts is taken down during the fight, your entire plan will be rendered useless."

"Alright, my liege. It's just a friendly match, don't worry. You can start the match when you are ready."

Akash was no idiot, he knew that a Star God Nobility rank bloodline beast could employ deadly attacks even as a child, his instincts told him to believe in Ponytail.

The panda's anger and boldness made Akash even more confident as he put it back on the floor and whispered in its ear. It cooed in return.

Akash looked at Haji Tea and spoke.

"Come at me with the same plan, this hall is very small compared to the battlefields of your competitions. Let us see, which one of us is right."

The 2'6 feet tall Panda took the staff in one hand and thumped it on the floor while beating its chest with the other hand loudly.

This skill was called the "Pride of Apes" and it's used by God Demon Panda's paternal family beasts, The Golden Apes.

They used it in big wars to cheer on their allies and intimidate their enemies.

Haji Tea's heart skipped a beat.

Am I getting afraid? By this... little panda?

No, this can't be happening.

Haji Tea ordered his beasts to attack.

The Thunder Sword Boar marched towards the God Demon Panda, the former was very famous because it could run at a frightening speed and because of its very sharp tusks.

Haji Tea ordered the boar to hit ponytail with a headbutt instead of its tusks.

The Steel Clawed Mole started digging while the Thousand Eyed Eagle flew upwards.

The Black Green Python and Mist Spider were making poisonous webs.

Ponytail looked at the Thunder Sword Boar marching at an astonishing speed, the thunder sword boar closed the distance and thrust a deadly headbutt.

Ponytail jumped backflip and dodged the attack by a hairbreadth.

In return, the panda held the golden staff as a spear and…

*ZIIIIIING*

The small golden staff grew into a big gold pillar and struck the head of the boar, which was coming for a second attack, that bash caused it to bump against the wall.

Everyone was shocked! Haji Tea, his other beasts and Akash Tagar as well.

"What was that? What kind of skill was that?"

Haji Tea murmured

*beep*

[ This is not a skill of the God Demon Panda, it's an ability of that Mythical-Grade Golden Staff. It can extend and contract its size by the will of its master. ]

Both Haji Tea and Akash Tagar were perplexed and didn't say anything.

Even the other 4 beasts were surprised to see their most powerful friend got thrashed so easily by a small fluffy panda.

While everyone was lost in surprise, the God Demon Panda opened its mouth and 2 small balls came out, one white and one black.

As soon as they came out, they merged and formed a big black and white ball.

The Panda looked at the Mist Spider and shot that ball in its direction.

~BOOM~

The ground shook, dust rose and neither side could see the other.

Akash jumped towards the spider in worry, he couldn't see anything. He drew closer and saw a human figure standing in front of the Mist Spider.

Akash Tagar's heart skipped a beat.
