Covered in bruises.
Their spirits had already grown somewhat listless.
Even some of the Phantom Beasts and Beast Masters.
Had black mist rising from their bodies.
That was the result of being infected.
If they did not leave this place soon.
And find a Phantom Beast capable of dispelling this Source of Fear to clear away the stuff on their bodies.
It would affect their Beast Mastery Power.
They might even lose their lives.
"Damn it, we're actually no match for these puppets!"
This group of Beast Masters.
Were basically all Silver Rank Beast Masters.
Their Phantom Beasts only had one or two whose ranks could keep up with their own Beast Mastery Power.
In a one-on-one situation.
Their Phantom Beasts were actually no match for those puppets.
And these puppets.
Were not even the true body.
"Are we all going to die here?"
Some people began to show despair on their faces.
At the same time, the black mist around their bodies grew several shades denser.
A ray of light invisible to ordinary people flew out from one of them.
It seemed to fly toward the depths of the amusement park.
"What are you saying? Hang in there!"
"Big Brother Gao Baigong has gone to find its true body. We have to hold on!"
"As long as we hold out until Big Brother Gao Baigong defeats its true body, we'll be free!"
"That's right, we can't give up!"
"As long as we work together, we can hold these puppets back!"
Some of them regained their confidence.
They tried to persuade those who had lost heart.
And after hearing the name Gao Baigong.
A spark returned to their eyes.
The mist around their bodies faded somewhat as well.
"That's right. As long as Big Brother Gao Baigong is here, we have hope!"
"Kill!"
"Ironback Turtle, show them what you can do!"
"Candy Clown, go play with them!"
"Biber Bird, take them down!"
Everyone immediately became fired up.
They charged at the group of puppets that was advancing toward them with giggles and laughter.
Bang!
Just then.
A tremendous noise rang out.
Then!
Accompanied by that deafening crash.
Two figures came flying toward the middle of their group.
Rumble!
The massive bodies slammed to the ground.
The people who had been charging toward the puppets came to a halt.
"G-Golden Lion!"
"And Big Brother Gao Baigong!"
When they saw the two colossal figures that had landed.
Their eyes bulged with shock.
Their pupils contracted as they stared incredulously at that battered figure.
Who else could it be but Gao Baigong and Golden Lion, who had gone to search for the Terror Puppet?
"Cough, cough!"
Gao Baigong struggled to his feet in a sorry state.
He leaned against Golden Lion's back.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Everyone, I've let you down. Run, quickly! I'm no match for it!"
Gao Baigong spoke through coughs.
"Damn it, who would've thought this thing had reached Platinum Rank!"
"That isn't the Terror Puppet. Then what kind of Phantom Beast is it?"
Gao Baigong stared in terror into the distance.
"Haha, fun! So much fun!"
A pleasant voice rang out, yet it sent chills through everyone.
Amid the dense fog.
A tiny figure kept flickering in and out of view.
Then!
What appeared before everyone was a cute little girl clutching a doll.
The Little Girl had a pair of tiny wings on her back.
Two black horns grew from the top of her head.
Clearly, she was not human.
"Big Brother, get up! Let's keep playing!"
"There are lots of Big Brothers here too. Let's all play together!"
The Little Girl looked toward the other Beast Masters.
The others immediately took several involuntary steps backward.
Fear appeared on their faces.
A creature that could leave a Gold Rank Five Beast Master helpless.
No matter how cute she looked, she was still a terrifying creature.
"W-What kind of joke is this? You're just a Phantom Beast, yet you dare tease us!"
"Let's attack together and kill her!"
"That's right, together! Kill her!"
With someone taking the lead, everyone found the courage to fight to the death.
They drove their Phantom Beasts forward in a killing charge.
"Heehee, yay! Yay! Big Brothers, come play with me!"
Seeing the Beast Masters drive their Phantom Beasts toward her in an attack.
The Little Girl did not get angry. Instead, she clapped her hands happily.
However, in the next instant!
Her expression turned solemn, revealing a pair of terrifying eyes.
Rumble!
