Chapter 35: The Rising Storm
The air was thick with the scent of rain, and the ground beneath Crow's feet was slick with moisture. Thunder rumbled overhead, but this time, it wasn't the echoes of a far-off storm. It was the crackling power of the Thunder Queen Bee's defeat, and the storm had been temporarily subdued. Crow walked steadily through the dampened forest, the weight of his accomplishments and his beasts' growth heavy on his shoulders. But there was still more to achieve, more to discover.
With the defeat of the Thunder Queen Bee, Crow had gained not only the mythical egg but also the Thunderstorm Cloak, a piece of equipment that would provide him with greater resilience to electric-based attacks. The storm that had threatened to overwhelm him had been quelled, but he knew that future challenges would require more than just brute strength. They would require strategy, preparation, and the right equipment.
He couldn't afford to rest for too long. The next copy was calling to him. But first, Crow needed to take a moment to assess his progress and the equipment that he had gained.

Crow stood silently for a moment, his hands running over the smooth surface of the Thunderstorm Cloak, feeling its power humming beneath his fingertips. The new equipment was a welcome addition to his arsenal, each item designed to enhance his control over the battlefield and his beasts. But equipment alone wouldn't be enough to ensure victory. He would need to keep training, to keep growing stronger.
He turned to face the rest of his team, knowing that they had all grown stronger alongside him. It was time to see how far his tamed beasts had come.
