Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties

Fiona stared at the smoke rising from Brutaurus's chest.

Her mouth slightly open.

She tapped the side of her visor and muttered.

"She was great."

"But still... What the hell did she do?"

She zoomed in on the shoulder-mounted rail bazooka on Liora's back.

"That cannon—she didn't summon it."

"It formed from her armor. It looked like… it was alive."

She tilted her head.

"Even if it's beast weaponization..."

"I've never heard of one that turns into a full rail launcher mid-combat."

@ThisAintNormal: That wasn't a summon. That was tech

@WeaponBeastFusion: Yo is that a weaponized beast form?!

@LuxoriaDoesItAgain: This place keeps rewriting the rulebook

@CheckFionyxToo: Wait didn't Fionyx become your hoverpack?

@ModularFusionTheory: If Fiona's Vornis can become transport... maybe Liora's can become weapons?

---

Fiona blinked.

"…Wait a minute."

She turned slightly, looking at her hoverpack.

"You guys are right."

She patted the beast's armor.

"Fionyx did transform."

"He turned into a hoverpack when I flew in with Liora."

She turned back toward the battlefield.

"So maybe... Liora has something like a Vornis."

"But way more advanced."

"Maybe a full battle-grade model made for war."

Fionyx hummed softly, recognizing the topic.

Fiona gave a nervous laugh.

"Okay, yeah. So this is definitely above my paygrade."

@FionyxJuniorMode: Fiona got the streamer version

@LioraWithTheDLC: She got the war god expansion

@ModularBeastTech: Someone ask Lord L what else these things can become

@LuxoriaTier: I don't think other tamers even know about this tech

@ChatMindBlown: So her railgun might actually be her beast?!

---

Fiona leaned in, her voice steady but tense.

"Alright chat…"

"Let's see how Lady Liora handles the Juggernaut in round two."

Down in the flooded arena, Liora stood her ground.

Brutaurus roared, louder this time.

Its pressure vents blasted a surge of mist as it charged.

Liora didn't flinch.

The cannon on her back deconstructed instantly.

It flowed down her arms, then solidified into a pair of gauntlets.

@RailgunToFist: She went from cannon to fistfight??

@ThoseGlovesLOOKHEAVY: They thudding with pressure just by forming

@WhoNeedsWeapons: Liora is the weapon

@ModularGearQueen: She's just changing loadouts like it's a video game

@BrutaurusGonnaBreakThat: I hope those gloves are tougher than they loo

---

Brutaurus lunged, its massive arm raised for a full-force overhead slam.

Liora crossed her arms and blocked.

At the moment of contact, a wave of mist exploded outward.

She slid back several meters—but stayed upright.

Fiona's voice came through the feed.

"Liora just blocked that?!"

"That was a Sovereign-tier slam!"

Liora dashed forward before Brutaurus could charge again.

Her gauntlets lit up with compressed heat.

She drove a punch into the beast's side.

It hit—solid.

But not solid enough.

Brutaurus barely staggered.

Instead, it twisted and backhanded her with one huge fist.

Liora flew back.

She hit the water hard, bounced once.

Then rolled across a submerged stone ledge.

Fiona gasped.

"That one landed. She's hit!"

"Brutaurus returned it hard!"

@OHNOLOIRA: She got sent flying

@GlovesBlockedSomeButNotALL: That hit still HURT

@BrutaurusSaidNOPE: He ate the punch and gave one back

@EvenSheBleeds: Liora can actually get hurt??

@LuxoriaDoesntRetreat: She's getting back up tho

---

Sure enough, Liora stood.

Her gloves hissed with heat release valves.

One of the outer plates was cracked.

She shook her arms once and steadied her breathing.

Brutaurus roared again, this time louder, angry that the human was still standing.

Fiona narrowed her eyes.

"She's not done. Not even close."

"But that last hit proves it—Brutaurus can still push her back."

"Even with her weapons... this won't be easy."

She looked at the chat, then back at the battlefield.

"This isn't just power anymore—it's strategy now."

"Let's see who learns faster."

"The Sovereign Beast… or the woman built to break them."

---

Down in the flooded arena, Brutaurus's body pulsed with dark blue energy.

Steam hissed from every vent.

Water began to rise and spin unnaturally.

Circling the massive beast in high-speed spirals.

Fiona blinked.

"Wait… What's he doing?"

A pressure wave exploded from Brutaurus's core.

The water no longer followed gravity.

It obeyed him.

His entire body surged with power.

His coral armor glowed from within, eyes burning with raw fury.

Then the arena text flashed on Fiona's visor.

---

[Brutaurus has activated: Tyrant of the Tides]

---

Fiona's heart dropped.

"Oh no... that sounds very final."

---

[Luxoria Castle App – LIVE CHAT]

@FULLPOWERBRUTAURUS: HE'S GOING BERSERK

@WHATDOESTHATMEAN: TYRANT OF THE TIDES??

@NOCOOLDOWNMODE: This is his FINAL PHASE

@EVENLIORANEEDSTORUN: Tell her to GET OUT

@THEREGOESTHEFLOOR: The water's not even touching the ground anymore

---

Brutaurus roared, louder than ever before.

He charged Liora with a fury that didn't care about defense.

Just destruction.

Fiona yelled into the mic.

"LIORA, MOVE!"

But Liora didn't move.

Instead, she smiled.

Liquid metal flowed again from her body.

But this time it didn't stop at her arms or back

It kept flowing.

It spun upward, around her, folding and forming—

A massive construct took shape.

A glowing greatsword taller than she was.

It was thick, jagged, and lined with molten silver vents.

Fiona's visor blinked red.

"What the hell—what is THAT?"

---

[Luxoria Castle App – LIVE CHAT]

@GODSLAYERWEAPON: WHAT IS SHE HOLDING?!

@THAT'SNOTLEGAL: That sword is BIGGER than her

@THISISFINALFORM: She's going full Luxoria Mode

@OVERRIDELEVELPOWER: Is this even beast-related anymore?!

@DON'TMISS: ONE SWING. PLEASE. JUST ONE SWING.

---

Brutaurus closed the gap.

He lunged forward with both fists, intent on smashing her into the floor.

Liora raised the sword with one hand—

And swung.

The moment the blade moved, the entire arena tilted.

The water surrounding them split like glass.

A wave of silver energy followed the arc of her strike.

Cutting through Brutaurus's charge.

The blade hit Brutaurus dead center.

There was no explosion.

Just silence.

Then... everything collapsed.

CRACK!!

Brutaurus's body crashed into the stone below.

His pressure field was gone, water crashing down in waves.

He didn't rise.

Fiona's drone zoomed in.

Brutaurus was out cold.

Completely still.

Steam rose from the deep gash along his chest.

His horns were embedded in the floor.

@SHEWON: SHE ACTUALLY DID IT

@INSTANTDEFEAT: That was ONE STRIKE

@THEBEASTWASERASED: I blinked and he was DOWN

@FINALCUTLUXORIA: What even is that weapon?!

@LioraEndBoss: She didn't beat the boss—she was the boss

@FionaSpeechless: Fiona say something I'M SHAKING

@CROWNHERNOW: LUXORIA GENERAL STATUS: CONFIRMED

---

Fiona finally found her voice.

"…Chat. I don't know what just happened."

She zoomed in on Liora, who now stood silently.

"But Liora Luxoria just defeated a Sovereign-tier juggernaut..."

"In one hit..."

She swallowed hard.

"And I think I finally get it now."

"This isn't beast taming."

"This is Luxoria."
