Chapter 29: The Ultimate Battle – Crow's Beast Army Unleashed
---
Crow stood at the edge of the battlefield, his eyes scanning the crowd and his opponents with a cold, calculating gaze. The Five vs. Five match was over, but now, he was facing a new challenge—a more dangerous one. This time, he would have to rely not just on his beasts but also on their full potential, utilizing every creature he had at his disposal.
His opponents were formidable, but Crow had something they didn't: an army of powerful tamed beasts, all ready to do his bidding. Vermilion Bird, Divine White Tiger, Eclipse Wolf, Hell Hound, Black Tortoise (Swanwoo), Ethereal Gloom Serpent, Thunder Python, Queen Bee, and the 30 Level 8 Rare Bees. Together, they made a fearsome team—one that no one could take lightly.
---
The Opponents
Before him stood the formidable team of challengers. Crow could feel the tension in the air as they locked eyes. The opponents had been chosen specifically for their unique abilities, each one capable of taking down even the most powerful of beasts, but Crow knew he had the upper hand.
---
Aria, the Elemental Sorceress, stood at the front, her staff crackling with energy. Liam, the Swordmaster, adjusted his sword, ready to engage in close combat. Tessa, the Beast Tamer, was alongside them, prepared to summon whatever beasts she had at her disposal. Dexter, the Shadow Assassin, disappeared into the shadows, blending into the arena. Naomi, the Battle Mage, kept her hands glowing with magical energy, ready to unleash devastating attacks.
Crow's heart beat steadily as he surveyed the battlefield. "Let's see if they can handle my full team," he muttered to himself, a grin creeping onto his face.
---
The Battle Begins
The gates to the arena opened, and Crow gave a simple command. "Vermilion Bird, take flight and strike first."
---
Vermilion Bird launched into the air, its wings glowing bright with fire. With a swift dive, it aimed straight for Aria, unleashing a burst of flames. Aria, however, was quick to respond, summoning a massive Earth Wall to shield herself from the fire. The flames scorched the barrier, but it held.
---
"Nice try, but you'll need more than that!" Aria called, raising her hand to control the wind.
---
Before she could retaliate, Thunder Python surged forward, its body crackling with electricity. Crow's voice rang out. "Thunder Strike!"
---
The Thunder Python launched a bolt of lightning at Liam, who narrowly dodged it. However, the attack wasn't over yet. Ethereal Gloom Serpent, hidden in the shadows, coiled around Dexter, who had been trying to move undetected. The serpent's ethereal form made it nearly invisible, but its grip was like iron. Dexter struggled to break free, but the serpent was too strong.
---
"Shadow Step!" Dexter muttered, vanishing into the shadows. But the Ethereal Gloom Serpent followed him, its dark presence leaving a faint trace.
---
Meanwhile, Hell Hound was engaged with Tessa's beasts. The Hell Hound's fiery aura clashed with Tessa's Wolf Cubs, scorching the beasts on impact. But the Hell Hound wasn't stopping there. With a loud bark, it charged towards Naomi, who was preparing a spell.
---
"You'll need more than a dog to stop me!" Naomi shouted, casting a Fireball spell. But Hell Hound was fast, dodging the attack with ease, its fiery claws slashing at Naomi's shield, causing cracks to form in the magical barrier.
---
From the back of the battlefield, Black Tortoise (Swanwoo) raised its massive, armored shell, blocking an incoming barrage of magic from Naomi. The tortoise's defensive abilities were unmatched, and Naomi's attacks seemed to bounce off harmlessly. Crow smiled as his beast took the brunt of the magic.
---
Meanwhile, Queen Bee released her swarm of Rare Bees, each one buzzing with purpose. "Swarm them," Crow commanded. The bees darted toward Liam, their stingers aimed to incapacitate. The Vermilion Bird and Divine White Tiger moved together, providing support as they continued their assault. "Divine Wrath!" the Divine White Tiger roared, releasing a powerful shockwave of energy that knocked back Aria and Tessa, who were both caught off guard by the tiger's sheer strength.
---
"This isn't over yet," Liam said, rallying his team.
"We need to work together to defeat them!" Naomi added.
---
But Crow wasn't worried. He had been waiting for this moment, when the tide of battle would swing in his favor.
---
"Now, everyone, full force!" Crow shouted. "Vermilion Bird, ignite the sky! Queen Bee, summon more bees! Thunder Python, bring the storm!"
---
At Crow's command, the entire battlefield shifted. Vermilion Bird unleashed a Rain of Fire, bombarding Liam and Naomi with intense flames. The Queen Bee summoned even more Rare Bees, overwhelming Tessa's remaining beasts. Thunder Python created a Thunderstorm, zapping everything in its path with powerful lightning bolts.
---
"They can't handle this," Crow whispered, watching as his beasts overwhelmed the opposition. "This is just the beginning."
---
The Battle Ends
In a final, coordinated strike, Hell Hound charged in, using its Inferno Lash to finish off Liam, while Vermilion Bird used a final Inferno Wings to finish off Aria. Ethereal Gloom Serpent squeezed the life out of Dexter, and Queen Bee overwhelmed Tessa's last beast, sending her into retreat.
The battlefield was silent, save for the hum of the Rare Bees still circling above Crow's team. The victory was overwhelming—Crow had proven that his tamed beasts were more than just powerful—they were unstoppable when used with strategy and precision.
