Chapter 17 Fighting William
As the battle began, the two beasts faced off against each other, each one poised and ready for the other's move. Orion and William stood on opposite sides of the arena, their eyes locked on their beasts.
Orion started the attack with a Flame Burst, sending a ball of fire towards William's beasts. William's Storm Panther quickly dodged the attack, while his Gale Falcon used its Wing Gust to blow the flames away.
The Gale Falcon then used its Feather Storm attack, sending a flurry of feathers towards Stella. Orion responded with a Blaze Aura, creating a shield of flames around Stella to protect her from the attack.
William's Storm Panther launched a Gust Burst, which combined with the Gale Falcon's Gust Slash to create a powerful gust of wind. Orion's Stella used her Flame Wing to create a fiery vortex, countering the wind and dispersing it in all directions.
The two beasts then engaged in close combat, with the Storm Panther using its Gale Claw and Storm Bite attacks, while Stella countered with her Fiery Talons. The clash of their attacks created a burst of energy, sending shockwaves through the arena.
William then used his Cyclone Leap to launch his Storm Panther into the air, while the Gale Falcon used its Sky Dive attack to follow up with a dive bomb attack. However, Orion was prepared and used his Fireball attack to intercept the attack, creating an explosion of flames that sent both of William's beasts flying back.
William quickly regained his composure and had his beasts stand up. They both had some minor injuries, but they were still ready to continue the fight. William had a determined look on his face, and Orion could feel his opponent's intense focus.
Orion knew that he couldn't let his guard down for a moment. He commanded Stella to use her Flame Burst attack again, but this time, he added his own power to the attack. The resulting fireball was even larger and more powerful than before, catching both of William's beasts off guard.
The Storm Panther tried to dodge the attack, but it was too late. The Flame Burst struck it directly, causing a small explosion. William's Gale Falcon quickly used its Wind Walk to escape the attack, but it was still hit by the heat, causing some minor burns.
William looked frustrated, but he didn't give up. He had a plan, and he knew that he had to execute it perfectly if he wanted to turn the tide of the battle. He used his Gale Enchantment talent to create a powerful gust of wind, then had his Gale Falcon use its Gust Slash to create a powerful vortex.
Orion and Stella were caught off guard by the sudden change in the arena's atmosphere. The wind was so strong that it was difficult to even stand. William used this to his advantage and had his Storm Panther use its Tempest Roar, which created a powerful shockwave that knocked Stella off balance.
Orion quickly reacted and had Stella use her Flame Wing to stabilize herself, but William was already on the move. The Gale Falcon used its Whirlwind attack to create a tornado, which trapped Stella inside.
Orion could feel the panic rising in his chest. He knew that he had to act fast if he wanted to save Stella. He commanded her to use her Blaze Aura to create a barrier of flames around her, but it was quickly extinguished by the intense wind.
William had a wicked grin on his face as he watched Stella struggle. He knew that he had Orion right where he wanted him. He had his Gale Falcon use its Gale Force attack, which created a burst of wind that sent the tornado spinning even faster.
Orion gritted his teeth in frustration. He knew that he had to do something, and fast. He closed his eyes and focused all of his energy on Stella. He could feel her power rising as if she was responding to his call.
Suddenly, Stella burst out of the tornado, her flames burning brighter than ever. William was taken aback, but he quickly regained his composure. He had his Gale Falcon use its Sky Dive attack again, but this time, Stella was ready.
She used her Flame Burst attack to create a ball of fire, then launched it toward the descending Gale Falcon. The fireball struck the Falcon head-on, causing a massive explosion that sent it flying back. William's Storm Panther tried to intercept the attack, but it was too late.
The force of the explosion sent it tumbling across the arena floor, creating a cloud of dust and debris.
Orion let out a triumphant laugh as he watched the two beasts struggle to stand. "Looks like your little plan didn't work out so well, William," he said, mocking his opponent.
William scowled, his face red with anger. "Don't get too cocky, Orion. This battle isn't over yet," he replied, his voice laced with venom.
Orion simply grinned, his confidence growing with each passing moment. He knew that he had the upper hand now, and he wasn't about to let it slip away.
Finally, William's Gale Falcon had lost in the explosion earlier. Gale Falcon had fallen down, and Storm Phanter was the remaining one. This was between Storm Phanter and Stella. Stella had some injuries, but it seemed that Stella still had the will to fight.
The Storm Panther stood up, its fur matted with dust and dirt, and glared at Stella with fierce intensity. It let out a fierce roar, and William could feel its rage coursing through his body.
William clenched his fists, determination etched on his face. "Alright, let's finish this!" he yelled, his voice ringing out across the arena.
Orion raised an eyebrow, amused by William's sudden burst of energy. "You sure you want to keep going, William? Your beasts are looking pretty beaten up," he taunted.
William gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury. "I'll never give up, Orion. I'll fight until the bitter end," he growled.
Orion chuckled. "Well, suit yourself. Let's see what you've got left," he said, gesturing for the battle to continue.
The two beasts charged toward each other once again, their movements were quick and precise. The Storm Panther lunged forward with a powerful swipe of its claws, while Stella countered with a fiery blast from her mouth.
The two attacks collided in a burst of energy, creating a blinding flash of light. As the dust settled, the two beasts were locked in a fierce struggle, their muscles straining against each other.
William watched the battle with a mix of fear and determination. He knew that this was his last chance to turn things around. He had to think fast and come up with a new strategy.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. He grinned, feeling a surge of excitement. "Storm Panther, use your Gust Burst!" he shouted.
The Storm Panther let out a fierce roar, and a gust of wind shot out from its roar, striking Stella with a powerful wind pressure. Orion gasped in surprise as Stella faltered, her flames flickering weakly.
But to William's shock, Stella wasn't defeated yet. Stella managed to regain her balance and let out a piercing shriek, her wings igniting in a fiery blaze that engulfed the Storm Panther. William could see the fear in the panther's eyes as it was consumed by the flames, its roars becoming weaker and weaker until it finally collapsed in a heap on the ground.
William watched in horror as his final beast was defeated, unable to believe what had just happened. He had been so sure that the Storm Panther would be able to take down Stella, but now he was left with nothing.
Orion walked over to William, clapping him on the back. "Well, that was quite the battle," he said, a hint of admiration in his voice. "You gave it your all, William. You should be proud of yourself."
William shook his head, unable to process what had just happened. "I don't understand," he muttered. "How did the Blaze Wing survive that attack? And how did she manage to defeat the Storm Panther?"
Orion smiled knowingly. "You underestimate my Blaze Wing," he said. "She is my powerful beast that I have powerful bond with. She has the will to overcome your attack and defeat it."
William's eyes widened in surprise. "I had no idea," he said, feeling a mixture of Surprised.
William was still stumped that he was defeated by Orion. He had even used two beasts, but he still lost the battle against Orion, which only used one beast.
Orion left the arena and went back to his accommodation. The battle had also exhausted him very much. The battle between Stella and William's beasts was so close.
He was happy that he had won the second round and went to the third round. He also could feel that Stella was resting and also meditating at the same time. It seemed that the next day, Stella would become a new beast that was more powerful than before.
Orion soon closed his eyes and started to doze off in his bed. He was tired, and the exhaustion had caught up to him.
