The earth beast attempted using the same tactic that had worked against Ron. Moving underground rapidly to attack from unexpected angles.
Attack patterns that came from below, from sides, from behind simultaneously.
Against Ron's salamander it had been overwhelming. Fire techniques couldn't penetrate deep enough. His beast mobility couldn't match the beast underground repositioning speed.
Earth element victory had been inevitable.
But the mantis had a considerable elemental advantage Ron hadn't possessed.
Even against an earth specialist, since it wasn't the beast of a double tamer… Let alone a triple.
It didn't even need to use much of its capability to track the subterranean movements through vibrations. Didn't need its access to powerful attacks that could penetrate the earth.
It simply canceled the beast's earth control with its own. Forced the enemy beast to ascend to the surface.
