Chapter 334 Charge
In the live stream, the audience from Genosha erupted into excitement after witnessing Charles's strong response.
"Wow, that's incredible! He's also a Level 4 Beast Master, and yet he effortlessly defeated Zorion's daughter, a Level 8 Beast Master from the Stellar Empire?"
"Of course! We all saw it. Charles held back some power in that last strike because of the rules, otherwise, she would have been dead already!"
"Being a genius, Charles can rise above everyone else, it's absolutely monstrous!"
"Am I the only one who thinks Charles's response was particularly inspiring? What a real man! Wanting to know the color of a Level 8 Beast Master's blood?"
"Charles really dared to say that! If it were someone else, they might have backed down."
"I declare that Charles is the toughest man in Genosha!"
Originally, the audience was quite worried about the battle between the Stellar Empire and the Genosha Beast Masters. However, after seeing Charles's performance and the outcome of the fight, all those worries vanished.
Passion and admiration, along with a strong sense of pride, surged in the hearts of countless spectators.
What they thought at that moment was, "See? This is the true genius of Genosha! This is the glory of Genosha!"
Meanwhile, within the Genosha royal palace,
Emperor Miles and several high-ranking officials were all watching the large screen not far away, paying close attention to the events of the Eye of Ice and Fire.
After witnessing Charles's performance and Zorion's fury, many of them raised their fists, excitedly shouting:
"It should be like this!"
"Charles did an incredible job!"
"Only this way can we make the Stellar Empire stop underestimating Genosha. Genosha is not to be trifled with!"
However, some officials wore worried expressions. After careful consideration, realizing Nathaniel was not present, one of them cautiously spoke up:
"Isn't what Charles did a bit inappropriate? After all, tensions between Genosha and Kingston are escalating, and the Stellar Empire's stance is very important."
"Exactly! What if the Stellar Empire decides to support Charles? Once they resolve the chaos in the Atacama Desert and deal with other matters, what if they provide strong support to Kingston?"
Someone stepped forward and addressed Emperor Miles directly:
"Your Majesty, I believe Charles's actions are detrimental to Genosha's future. When he returns, he must be properly guided, young people shouldn't be too sharp."
Immediately, someone countered:
"Your Majesty, I think Charles's actions have significantly boosted the morale of Genosha. Many frontline warriors are watching this event, and after seeing Charles's performance, they will surely be very excited."
The person who wanted to ensure Charles was guided when he returned tried to say more, "Your Majesty..."
Before he could finish, Miles waved his hand impatiently and said with annoyance, "This is just a contest between young people, there's no need to involve the state. I think Charles is great—young and passionate, it's perfectly normal for him to shine."
After saying this, Miles turned to glance at Prince Avery beside him.
Avery nodded slightly, understanding what it meant. The Emperor had a high regard for Charles's performance and wanted to promote him vigorously.
In the future, they would make Charles a hero of Genosha, boosting the confidence and morale of the people and warriors.
However, all of this would have to wait until the Eye of Ice and Fire was completely over, as many of the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters still had combat capability.
After the discussion, everyone turned their attention back to the big screen, eager to see what would happen next.
On the outskirts of the Eye of Ice and Fire,
In the Stellar Empire, Silas's hands trembled as he held his longbow. He never expected that the genius girl of the Stellar Empire, Mira, would be defeated by Charles in just a few breaths!
He didn't even have time to provide remote support, Charles's disappearance was too sudden, and Mira's combat awareness had issues, as she failed to react in time to Charles's attack!
"Fortunately, Zorion unleashed his momentum and intimidated that ferocious beast. Now it's just Charles in front of us, while all the Genosha Beast Masters are behind!" Silas harbored a lot of resentment towards Charles at that moment.
If it weren't for Charles, the Genosha Beast Masters wouldn't even be a match for them!
Even with Luna, the Level 5 Beast Master, they wouldn't have time to turn the tide. By the time Luna entered the fray, the Stellar Empire's Level 3 and Level 4 Beast Masters would have already been dealt with.
The plan was going so well, who could have imagined that Charles's strength would be so formidable, turning everything into an illusion!
Silas took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Don't just stand there! We still have a chance, the only enemy is Charles! Give it your all and take him down!"
Silence fell over the group. The Stellar Empire's Beast Masters quietly looked up at Charles, who calmly pointed his long knife at them, showing no fear whatsoever.
Many of the Stellar Empire's Level 3 Beast Masters were swallowing hard, tempted to back out of the fight.
Silas was furious at this moment. He approached the nearest Level 3 Beast Master, who showed no desire to fight, and kicked him hard.
"Anyone who dares to show cowardice will face the same consequences!" he shouted, drawing the attention of the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters. Silas suddenly pulled back the string of his longbow, and a green feathered arrow shot straight through the man's shoulder.
"Ahhhh!" A piercing scream echoed throughout the area!
"Did you hear that? This is what happens to cowards! Everyone, grab your weapons and take down Charles!" Silas shouted frantically.
Under this stark warning, the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters had no choice but to grip their weapons tightly and charge at Charles.
Meanwhile, over on Genosha's side, Zachary also recognized the problem and shouted as well:
"Brothers, Charles is in danger! We can't just stand by and watch! Charge with me to aid Charles!"
In an instant,
All the Genosha Beast Masters raised their arms and shouted in unison, "Charge! Charge! Charge!"
In the next moment, no one hesitated. The Beast Masters from Genosha all wore fervent expressions as they crazily sprinted towards Charles.
Meanwhile, the mutated dual-attribute giant earthworm, which had been attacking frantically just moments ago, stood dumbfounded between the Genosha Beast Masters and the Stellar Empire Beast Masters, unsure of what to do.
It was now like a stone statue, frozen in place, too afraid to leave or attack.
Above it, three Level 8 Beast Masters were watching, their oppressive presence serving as a warning.
Charles took a deep breath and summoned Mia, Max, Mousie, and Little Gold, using Beast Mastery to enhance his physical abilities.
In the face of multiple attackers, what mattered most was a Beast Master's reaction time and the speed at which they could neutralize their immediate foes.
Feeling the boost in his physical qualities, the increase in strength, and the acceleration of speed, Charles took another deep breath and gripped his black gold long knife tightly.
With so many Level 3 and Level 4 Beast Masters attacking, even an average Level 6 Beast Master would need to temporarily avoid their onslaught.
However, Charles didn't need to deal with all the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters, he just needed to hold on until the people from Genosha arrived.
"Charge! I'll provide you with ranged support from the back! Take down Charles! As long as he gets seriously injured, we win!" Silas shouted maniacally, his spirit high, yet he remained rooted in place, watching the Stellar Empire's forces advance.
As the crown prince of the Stellar Empire, he had been taught not to put himself in danger by charging into battle alongside other Beast Masters—that was something he couldn't bring himself to do!
As a result, some of the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters, not wanting to face the crown prince's wrath and unwilling to continue fighting, deliberately slowed their pace, allowing others to lead the charge for their own safety.
There were quite a few like that.
On the Genosha side, Charles stood at the forefront, having stepped up from the beginning when he attracted the mutated dual-attribute giant earthworm.
Seeing Charles fighting at the front, the other Beast Masters from Genosha felt no hesitation about entering the battlefield. Even Jace, who had sustained significant injuries, was now charging forward madly alongside the others.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"It's already over, this battle holds no suspense whatsoever." Nathaniel said directly.
Jamie nodded in agreement. Sometimes, when the strength of both sides is relatively equal, good morale can truly determine the outcome of a fight.

Under Charles's leadership, even the wounded on the Genosha side were charging forward with all their might, wanting to fight alongside Charles.
On the Stellar Empire side, Silas only commanded other Beast Masters to charge while doing nothing himself. Throughout the battle, his commanding abilities showed no highlights, they were utterly mediocre.
Compared to Charles, he was simply lacking!
It's important to note that Silas was the crown prince of the Stellar Empire, and someone like him must have received better education than Charles.
Yet, Charles's performance was something Silas couldn't match, that was pure talent!
Soon, because Charles was positioned so far forward, he was the first to make contact with the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters.
Facing the swarm of incoming enemies, Charles showed no signs of panic. Instead, he carefully observed, looking for those Beast Masters who bullied little girls.
"It's your turn to pay for your actions now. If you bully Genosha people in Genosha, you must accept the consequences." Charles said slowly.
