Chapter 77: Clash of Titans

Chapter 77: Clash of TitansThe storm raged above, and the atmosphere was torn apart by thunder and rain.

Eratz and Mercury exchanged a glance, and nodded to each other.

This was it, the final rush. Raijinara and Zephyraquiel were still in the air, locked in battle, but they needed to be separated for Eratz and Mercury to take them on individually.

Eratz closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling the familiar stir of power within him.

He summoned the strength of all his beasts at once, their energies merging inside him converging into an explosion.

His aura ignited, swirling black and white, laced with crackling blue lightning.

The air cracked with electricity, and the ground trembled beneath his feet.

His hair floating as if underwater, and his eyes snapped open, glowing.

He launched himself into the stormy sky, the wind rushing past him as he soared toward Zephyraquiel.

Drawing back his fist, he channeled all his energy into the blow. He let out a roar as he slammed his fist into the bird's head.

The impact was explosive, a shockwave rippled outward, pushing back the clouds and parting the rain.

Zephyraquiel screeched in pain, its massive body plummeting toward the ground.

Seizing the moment, Mercury raised her hands, a vast sphere of glowing blue spread and swallowed the falling bird.

The bird thrashed and flapped its wings, but the density of the water was different and restrained its movements.

Suddenly, a deafening crack split the air, Raijinara noticed their attack on its rival.

It shrieked with rage, bolts of lightning arcing off its body. In a flash, it hurtled toward Mercury, electricity surging around.

Eratz saw the danger and reacted instantly. He intercepted Raijinara mid-air, delivering a powerful punch to the thunder bird's beak, but Raijinara was relentless.

It snapped at him with razor-sharp talons, but it was a chance that Eratz was waiting for, his heart racing as he grabbed Raijinara's legs.

The thunder bird screeched in fury.

The moment he latched onto the bird's talon, lightning surged through him, searing his muscles, but Eratz held on, gritting his teeth, refusing to let go.

Raijinara screeched again, thrashing wildly in the sky as it tried to shake Eratz off.

Its wings beat furiously, generating gusts of wind strong enough to uproot trees.

The struggle was immense, the bird's power overwhelming, but Eratz dug deep, summoning every ounce of his strength.

His teeth clenched hard, his chest tightened, and his aura flared.

With a roar that echoed through the sky, Eratz pulled with all his strength. His muscles bulged, veins popping under his skin as he yanked Raijinara's massive body downward.

The bird screeched in fury, its wings flapping wildly as it struggled to stay airborne, but Eratz didn't relent.

He let out a primal scream as he gave one final pull.

CRASH!

Raijinara crashed into the ground like a meteor with a force that shook the forest, sending shockwaves through the area.

The students, still in the cave, gasped in awe and horror. Milo and Colin held hands, waiting with anxiety.

Eratz, breathing heavily, stood tall, his chest heaving, but his eyes were locked on Raijinara, who struggled to rise.

Meanwhile, Mercury faced Zephyraquiel in her field spell. The rain bird summoned streams of water, each one crashing down toward her.

Mercury's eyes glowed as she manipulated her field spell, directing the water to curve around her.

The liquid obeyed her command, forming spiraling tendrils that she whipped toward Zephyraquiel.

The bird responded by diving to the side, heading to an exit.

Without hesitation, Mercury followed, extending her field spell and using the currents to follow the Monster.

Her field spell became a swirling maelstrom. Zephyraquiel moved with fluid grace, its form merging with the environment. Mercury concentrated, feeling the water around her respond to her will. The field spell turned more and more like a true orb of water.

Zephyraquiel shot forward, its beak and talons aiming for Mercury with lethal precision. She dodged narrowly, the water aiding her movements.

Gathering her energy, she unleashed a powerful underwater shockwave, the force sending bubbles and currents rushing outward.

The impact struck Zephyraquiel, pushing it back.

The bird screeched silently, opening its beak to release a concentrated jet stream.

Mercury countered by forming a dense shield of compressed water, the jet impacting it with tremendous force.

With a swift motion, she transformed the shield into a shockwave, propelling it toward the bird, but Zephyraquiel flapped its wings again, summoning another wave of water to crash down on Mercury's wave.

The two forces collided, creating a massive explosion of water. The rainbird screeched again, furious, but Mercury didn't let up.

She swirled the water around her, creating a massive whirlpool.

The vortex pulled Zephyraquiel into its center, the pressure threatening to crush it.

The bird fought back, summoning all its strength to generate a powerful current that disrupted the whirlpool.

Back on the other side, Raijinara had regained its footing, its body crackling with renewed electrical energy.

It glared at Eratz, its eyes glowing with rage. With a screech, it unleashed a volley of lightning bolts, but Eratz was ready.

He dodged the bolts with ease, his body moving at high speed. As he closed the distance between them, he could feel the raw power of the bird's lightning coursing through the air, but he didn't tremble.

His aura flared again, and with a roar, he launched himself at the bird, his fists glowing with spiritual power.

His fist connected with Raijinara's head, sending another shockwave through the battlefield.

The bird screeched in agony, its body shaking from the force of the blow. It propelled itself again in the air and retaliated with a lightning strike, the bolt hitting Eratz and destroying the

ground.

Pain seared through him, his muscles convulsing as the electricity tore through his body, but he grit his teeth and pushed through it.

He roared and launched himself above again, unleashing a barrage of punches. Each strike hit with increasing force, and his range kept increasing, the bird's body jerking with each impact, and with a final surge of power, he released a beam of light through one punch, narrowly

dodged by the monster.

Eratz's energy had become something else, the spiritual power now fully covering him.

The battle escalated to new heights.

The thunder bird unleashed a massive electrical storm, bolts of lightning converging toward

Eratz from all directions.

He crossed his arms over his chest, his aura intensifying, expanding his bubble shield outward, the barrier absorbing the strikes, each impact rippling across its surface like stones

dropped in water.

Once the attack ceased, Eratz propelled himself directly at Raijinara.

The thunder bird screeched, generating a massive electric charge. Eratz countered by channeling his energy into a concentrated beam of pure power, shooting it straight from his

punch.

The beam collided with Raijinara's lightning, the two forces clashing in a dazzling explosion that lit up the sky.

Meanwhile, Mercury had Zephyraquiel trapped in a vortex of water, but the bird wasn't giving

up.

It screeched and thrashed, its wings creating powerful gusts of wind that tore through the

battlefield.

The wind howled, ripping through the air like a hurricane, but Mercury held firm.

She raised her hand, and with a final surge of power, she tightened the vortex, pulling Zephyraquiel deeper into the water.

The bird screeched, its body thrashing wildly, but Mercury didn't let up. She poured every ounce of her power into the spell, determined to bring the creature down. Zephyraquiel screeched, the monster breakthrough in a burst and dived toward her, but Mercury moved fluidly, raising her hand as a massive column of water erupted from the

ground, colliding with the bird.

The impact sent shockwaves through the air, but she remained immobile, her gaze steady and

unyielding.

She was feeling good, very good, maybe too much.

She closed her eyes, feeling each once of water as it touched her skin, merging with her

essence.

The water around her began to ripple, responding to her heartbeat. With a deep breath, she let

go of conscious thought, allowing instinct to guide her.

The battlefield transformed into a symphony of water and wind.

Mercury danced in the water, each step creating ripples that turned into waves, surging

toward her opponent.

Zephyraquiel countered with gusts of wind, but she embraced them, using the currents to

propel herself higher.

In a powerful leap, she ascended above the bird.

Extending her hands, she summoned a swirling vortex of water, and with a swift motion, she

directed it downward.

The vortex engulfed Zephyraquiel, trapping it within a spiraling prison of crushing force.

Mercury could feel the essence of water bending to her will.

She reached deeper into her power than ever before, instead of channeling a beast, she connected directly with the element of water within her itself.

A cool, calming energy flowed through her, filling every fiber of her being. When she opened her eyes, they glowed a brilliant blue. Water swirled around her, not just in

the air but emanating from within her body.

She had entered a new form, a water beastification without a beast. She had become one with

the water.

High above, Eratz hovered in the air, his aura a swirling maelstrom of black and white energy,

laced with blue lightning.

His power kept increasing, but no matter how much far he pushed himself, he could always

feel something deeper.

Raijinara unleashed a volley of lightning bolts. Eratz weaved through them, the air buzzing

around him.

He closed his eyes briefly. He could feel everything, in himself and in his surroundings.

He felt the collective spirits of his beasts, not as separate entities but as a unified force.

He felt the possibility to channel his power inside to the exterior.

He could determine the limits of his range.

He could control what kind of power it would be.

The result of this equation was...

A Field Spell.

The space around him shifted, a translucent dome of swirling energy expanded outward,

encapsulating both him and Raijinara.

Within this field, he felt every fluctuation of power, every single shift in the bird's posture. Time seemed to slow as he heightened his awareness.

Raijinara screeched, attempting to break free from the field spell's influence.

Eratz raised both hands, and streams of his aura spiraled around the bird, constricting its

movements.

With a subtle gesture, he manipulated the energy, causing it to pulse in sync with Raijinara's own electrical surges, effectively neutralizing them. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He moved his fingers as if playing an invisible instrument, each motion directing a new wave

of energy.

Beams of light, arcs of electricity, and pulses of pure force converged upon the thunder bird in

a meticulously orchestrated assault.

Raijinara struggled, but Eratz anticipated every counter, adjusting his strategy with fluid

adaptability.

In the water field spell, Mercury's eyes glowed with a fierce blue light as she initiated her final

move.

Taking a deep breath, she concentrated harder than ever before. The water around her began

to vibrate, the molecules agitating at an increasing rate.

She focused on her Field Spell, feeling every particle of water within its bounds, even in

Zephyraquiel. Channeling her energy, she initiated a chain reaction, exciting the water molecules to the point of instability.

In an instant, the water within her field spell detonated. A massive explosion of water erupted outward, a dome of force that expanded rapidly.

The explosion consumed Zephyraquiel, the bird engulfed in the blast as its own body turned

against it. As the mist settled, Mercury descended gently to the ground. The storm around her began to calm, the rain softening to a gentle drizzle

In the meantime, Eratz drew upon the entirety of his field spell, he began to concentrate the swirling energies into a singular point above his palm.

The sphere grew, its luminosity intensifying. The air vibrated with power.

With a calm exhale, he released the energy. The sphere transformed into a massive surge that

engulfed Raijinara and destroyed the ground.

The bird was caught within the epicenter of the blast, its form silhouetted against the

brilliant light.

The storm clouds parted, revealing the first hints of a starry sky.

Eratz lowered his hands, his aura gently receding, his gaze on his favorite totem, the stars in

the celestial vault.
