Chapter 138: Battle In The Heat



Ren's eyes focused on the incoming wave of Scorchclaws. The ground beneath him rumbled with their approach, each step they took causing more cracks to form in the already fractured earth. The air was thick with heat, almost suffocating.

"Goro, Razogrin, you two take the front! Hiroshi, Kaida, cover their flanks!" Ren shouted, taking a few steps back to give himself space.

"I'll hold the center and keep them from advancing further!"

"Got it!" Goro and Razogrin replied, their voices booming.

Goro gripped his battle axe tighter, feeling the heat of the ground seeping through the boots

of his suit. He could see the Scorchclaws' eyes glowing brighter as they closed in, their massive jaws snapping frantically.

With a deep breath, Goro slammed his axe into the ground once more, causing the earth to heave and split, creating a chasm that several of the monsters stumbled into.

Razogrin followed up with a powerful swing of his hammer, the impact sending a shockwave that cracked the ground further and toppled more of the Scorchclaws into the abyss. But the beasts wouldn't give in that easily, crawling out of the fissures as fast as they could.

"These bastards just don't quit!" Razogrin grunted, bringing his hammer down on the head of a Scorchclaw that had gotten too close, crushing its skull with a massive crunch.

"Keep at it!" Goro yelled, his voice strained as he used his earth manipulation to hurl large boulders at the advancing monsters.

"We need to thin them out before they overwhelm us!"

"Another wave incoming!" Kaida warned, her eyes widening as she saw more Scorchclaws emerging from the lava pits, their armored bodies glowing with the heat of the molten rock. "Damn it!" Ren hissed, realizing they were being outnumbered. He glanced over at Goro and Razogrin, who were holding their ground but starting to show signs of exhaustion. "We need to end this fast! Everyone, give it everything you've got!"

Ren gathered all the power he could muster, his flames roaring with more intensity. He concentrated the fire into a massive wave and hurled it towards the oncoming Scorchclaws, the sheer heat causing the air to shimmer and distort.

"Burn to ash!" Ren shouted, the flames crashing into the monsters with explosive force, engulfing them in an inferno.

The Scorchclaws roared in agony as the flames consumed them, their scales melting and cracking under the heat. One by one, they collapsed, their bodies reduced to smoldering

heaps.

With the threat neutralized, Ren let out a sigh, his flames slowly dying down. He turned to his team, who were breathing heavily but still standing strong.

"Well done, everyone," Ren said, his voice filled with pride. "We held the line. Now, let's finish off any stragglers and regroup."

The team nodded as they moved to clear the valley of any remaining Scorchclaws as they advanced forward. The battle had been intense, but Ren's team had proven their strength once again.

...

Back in the studio, Marcus and Elena were in awe as they watched the feed.

"That was incredible!" Elena exclaimed. "Ren and his team handled those Scorchclaws like true professionals. Their coordination and power were off the charts!"

"I agree," Marcus added. "They've shown exactly why they're one of the top teams. The way they adapted to the situation and worked together was nothing short of impressive. The audience is loving it!"
