My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

Chapter 260 Unofficial Beast Tournament V

If seeing one Altered type almost gave everyone a heart attack, then seeing two Altered types gave everyone more shock. It was a normal reaction, but Satoshi wasn't expecting it at all.

Gio, who already brought his Icewater Crab to the semifinals, knew that Satoshi's Alpha Red Salamander wouldn't stand a fighting chance against it. But as it turned out, Satoshi actually had another familiar, another Altered Type that belonged in the family of Blue Lightning, an electric type variant that produces blue lightning which is twice more powerful than normal electric types.

It was Satoshi's White Lion, and he summoned it without a second thought, fully knowing that it could win. This was Satoshi's way of intimidating his fellow beast tamer since he wanted to challenge him. There was no way he could back down after everything that Gio said.

"You can change your beast anytime you want. I won't change mine." Satoshi declared.

With animosity in his gaze, Gio didn't know what to do anymore. If he backed down now, then everything he said would mean nothing. Sure he had a ground-type beast, but if he were to bring it out, then Satoshi had already won.

Suppressing all the nervousness he felt in every cell of his body, Gio shook his head and forced a smile on his face. "Hah, you think I'd change my beast? No, my Icewater Crab is more than enough to deal with your White Lion."

Satoshi couldn't tell whether Gio was bluffing or not since there was a hint of confidence in his voice. Even if he was nervous, he knew that his Icewater Crab is an A-Grade Beast. The White Lion is at least an A-Grade as well, so he still had a chance at winning.

"START!" Kim Jin Seok announced since Gio and Satoshi already finalized their choice of tamed beasts.

The White Lion let out a roar and a black cloud formed in the sky, getting thicker and darker by the second as blue lightning appeared. A number of blue lightning hit the ground in the open area causing the Icewater Crab to start dodging even though the fight has just started. The White Lion hasn't moved an inch from where it stood, but the Icewater Crab was already having a difficult time.

"Freeze the area, Icewater Crab!" Gio screamed, giving his tamed Icewater Crab an order to which it promptly responded.

As for Satoshi, he knew well in himself that his win was already guaranteed. If the Icewater Crab couldn't afford to get hit by blue lightning, then it was way weaker than Satoshi had expected despite being an A-Grade Beast. Of course, he didn't wear his confidence on his sleeves since that would just damage Gio's pride as a beast tamer.

"White Lion, don't move. Just use Electric Field." Satoshi commanded his White Lion. The White Lion turned towards Satoshi, nodding its head before blue lightning coursed through his body, enveloping him in a thin orb made out of electricity. The electric field was actually too thin that it was almost invisible to the naked eye. Still, the electric field's power output rivaled its appearance since it could easily electrocute to death/kill a full-grown man in a split second. After all, the electric field actually amounts to several thousand volts.

But then again, the White Lion has full control over its electric field so even if Satoshi were to touch it now, it wouldn't harm him at all.

Meanwhile, the Icewater Crab managed to find an opening through the bolts of lightning that rained down from the sky. Without a second to spare, it covered the entire field with ice. With this, the Icewater Crab's mobility drastically increased since it could now glide on the ice. Dodging became much easier, or rather, it became child's play for the Icewater Crab. This also means that the Icewater Crab didn't have difficulty attacking White Lion either.

"Hahha! You think you can win against me even with the type advantage?" Gio called out, just because he had no idea how fast the White Lion actually is. The White Lion wasn't moving so he assumed that it was a slow beast.

The Icewater Crab started going on the offense once it got used to the intervals of the lightning. Ice spikes, water beams, and other attacks started coming at the White Lion. But thanks to his electrical field, not a lot of attacks got through.

"Just keep on attacking, Icewater Crab!" Gio exclaimed as the Icewater Crab increased in confidence. Since the White Lion wasn't attacking at all, it began getting ahead of itself, increasing its pace when it comes to attacking and leaving itself defenseless.

With silence, Satoshi continued giving the White Lion mental commands, telling it to continue holding on and just wait. The White Lion didn't insist on counter-attacking since the Icewater Crab's attacks didn't actually amount to much.

"Once he lets his guard down, we'll attack at once. I mean... you can finish this fight in an instant, right? But you don't have to. Let's see how long he'd continue celebrating." Satoshi said to himself.

The spectators who were cheering Satoshi on started getting anxious. They couldn't quite put their finger around Satoshi's decision to just stand there in silence while the White Lion tanked all the attacks. Somehow, they were starting to think that Satoshi was losing and that the White Lion really couldn't retaliate in front of the Icewater Crab.

"Satoshi you can do it!" Emma cheered from the sidelines.

"Go Satoshi! Win against that tamer!" Shiroi too started cheering since she didn't want Emma getting ahead of her.

In Satoshi's mind, he started running a countdown, telling the White Lion to fill the entire field with its blue lightning. It would be a split-second attack, but that would be more than enough to bring down the Icewater Crab and its boastful tamer. Satoshi didn't want to just win, he wanted to win by a landslide.

"Now, White Lion," Satoshi then commanded.
