Chapter 556 Little-known fact: Dark Lugia might be Giratina's illegitimate son.
Lingyouma was panting heavily, its abdomen heaving violently, and its emotions had changed.
This brief encounter with Dark Lugia reminded it of the past.
That same cold night, I stood side by side with the Snowstorm Horse, facing the Calycerin King.
Back then, as the kings of the Crown Snowfield, they never took any rivals seriously.
The interplay of ice and ghosts, the combination of power and speed, together they are enough to crush any invading enemy.
But when that figure with a crown-shaped bud on its head descended, everything changed.
No matter how they charge, how they screech, or how they unleash their full power, the Crested King simply stands there quietly.
With a raised hand and a swipe, they both fell to the ground, utterly powerless to resist.
The same feeling of helplessness surged into my heart again at this moment.
He exerted all his strength, burning the power that had been dormant for countless years, but could only barely manage to avoid it.
It's just about avoiding it!
They didn't even have the strength to fight back, and it became difficult to even stand firm!
Can such a gap really be bridged by willpower and pride alone?
Is it really true that a level two god can't beat a level one god?
This was Lingyouma's only thought.
Seeing the Lingyouma's expression, a complex mix of resentment and wavering, Li Luochen already had a guess in his mind.
He didn't rush to urge you or put further pressure on you. Instead, he took a step forward and said in a steady voice, "Spirit Nether Horse, as long as you follow me, I guarantee that after a few training sessions, an ordinary first-level god will not be able to easily defeat you, and you might even be able to beat a first-level god."
These words were extremely harsh, and might even be seen as arrogant by others.
The gap between a first-level god and a second-level god is an ironclad rule proven by countless trainers with sweat and tears. It cannot be bridged in just a few words.
But there was no hesitation or guilt in Li Luochen's tone.
The spirit horse's body trembled slightly.
What is this human saying?
Defeating a Level One God?
What it couldn't do even when fighting alongside the Snowstorm Horse, could it accomplish all by itself, based on what it calls "several training sessions"?
"This must be unbelievable to you, but it really happened. My Charizard once defeated a legendary monster."
Li Luochen recounted the story of his starter Pokémon, Charizard.
Lingyouma shook its head, as if trying to shake off the wavering in its heart.
It did not believe that a second-level god could truly defeat a first-level god, nor did it believe that this so-called "cultivation" by humans could truly bridge the chasm that it had been unable to fill for thousands of years.
But those words were like nails, stuck deep in my mind, impossible to remove.
In the midst of his wandering thoughts, the spirit horse raised its front hooves and then stomped down hard.
boom!
Countless shadow orbs burst forth from beneath its hooves, the irregular, jet-black spheres pouring towards Dark Lugia!
Dark Lugia remained motionless, calmly watching the countless shadow orbs fly towards it without even raising its wings.
Boom boom boom—!
The shadow orbs slammed into its silvery-black body repeatedly, exploding into ripples of dark energy. The explosions made the rubble in the graveyard tremble slightly.
However, Dark Lugia remained steadily suspended in mid-air, its wings outstretched, its posture as composed as if it were bathing in a light rain.
Those Shadow Balls that would have seriously injured an ordinary Pokémon didn't even leave a mark on it!
Seeing this, the Spirit Horse froze on its feet.
A full-force attack couldn't even make the opponent flinch slightly?!
Is the gap really that big?
Li Luochen's voice just resurfaced from the depths of my heart:
My Charizard once defeated a legendary monster!
"Hiss~!" (I refuse to believe it, I have to hurt you!)
Lingyouma refused to believe what he was seeing.
What if—and I mean what if—it actually caused effective damage, but Dark Lugia just stubbornly refused to shout it out?
As soon as this thought came to mind, the Spirit Horse's eyes narrowed, and it raised its front hooves again, releasing the densely packed shadow orbs!
"This move again? But it makes sense. It seems that the Queen of the Lace Crown's mental power amplified this move into Star Shatter."
According to the official description, the Crowned King (riding a black horse) enhanced the Spirit Horse's abilities with his spiritual energy, giving it greater spiritual power and its exclusive move "Star Shatter".
The Spirit Horse released Shadow Balls twice in a row, with similar effects. Li Luochen couldn't help but wonder if it was through the power of the Brilliant King that the Spirit Horse and the Snowstorm Horse learned Star Shatter and Snow Spear.
The predecessor moves were probably Shadow Ball and Ice Pillar Slam.
Li Luochen rubbed his chin, still not giving Dark Lugia any commands.
To put it bluntly, given Dark Lugia's tankiness, it would probably take Ghost Horse three days and three nights of relentless, non-stop fighting to defeat it!
Boom boom boom boom!
The Shadow Ball bombarded Dark Lugia from all directions once again, causing dark ripples to spread outwards.
Smoke and dust rose everywhere.
The spirit horse stopped and took a few breaths.
Now, Dark Lugia should have more injuries, right?
"Not bad, but if you think that's all you're capable of posing a threat to me, isn't that a bit too arrogant?"
Dark Lugia flapped its wings, dispelling the smoke and dust caused by the Shadow Ball combo, and reappeared in front of the Spirit Horse.
It was almost unharmed, its eyes were calm, and it commented on the attack of the Spirit Horse.
Weak, so weak!
Spirit Horse, is this all the strength you have?!
It's a shame you were once a Ceremonial Pokémon; now it seems you're just so-so.
The reason you were able to conquer all directions is because the Spirit Horse enhanced your strength!
Such thoughts appeared in Lingyouma's mind.
This made Lingyouma think of something.
Could it be that, without Rachel, I am truly no match for Dark Lugia...?
"Dark Lugia, unleash Shadow Strike!"
As soon as Li Luochen finished speaking, Dark Lugia entered the Reverse World.
Upon hearing Li Luochen's command, Lingyouma couldn't help but let out a cold snort, and then tried to sense the location of Dark Lugia.
But no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find Dark Lugia.
It was puzzled: how could it, as a Ghost-type Pokémon, not find Dark Lugia's location?
then.
Lingyouma was still savoring Li Luochen's command.
It doesn't seem to be a stealthy attack, but rather...
A stealth attack?!
Wait, isn't that Giratina's signature move?!
How did Dark Lugia learn this move?!
I was so scared I cried!
At this moment, Lingyouma truly dared not move.
