"Oh no!" Watching Gyarados hang its head without moving, Xun Chaoze seemed to sense something, and his expression immediately darkened.
"Hm? This presence?" Through his Aura senses, Liu Qing detected a destructive darkness suddenly pouring out of the black Gyarados. Its imposing presence swelled uncontrollably along with it. The Red Gyarados clearly sensed it too, and its expression grew even graver!
"Liu Qing, please be careful! This is my Gyarados's special ability, Dark Frenzy! Once it activates, all its capabilities rise straight to their maximum. Also, it won't listen to anyone's commands now. It will destroy anything it sees!" Xun Chaoze's voice grew hesitant toward the end.

It will keep attacking until it exhausts its very life, so I'm asking you to keep it under control until I can wake it!" Realizing Liu Qing had misunderstood, Xun Chaoze hurriedly explained.

Boom! A tremendous crash drew everyone's attention, followed by Gyarados's pained roar. Muddy water exploded upward into a wall of sludge. With a lightning-fast strike, the black Gyarados had slammed half the Red Gyarados's body straight into the grass.
"What terrifying speed and strength!" Although Liu Qing had been talking to Xun Chaoze at that
