Chapter 42 Orion's Strength

Orion felt a sense of pride and confidence wash over him as he gazed upon Nova and Stella, his trusty companions in battle. He knew that they were a formidable pair, with their unique abilities complementing each other perfectly.

As he prepared for battle, he noticed the Skywing student summoning his beasts. To Orion's surprise, the student had summoned two Tornado Wyverns, each one more powerful than the one that had been defeated in the previous match.

The Skywing student had a smug expression on his face, clearly thinking that his beasts would be no match for Orion's. But Orion remained calm and composed, knowing that he had to use all of his skills and experience to defeat his opponent.

The battle began, with the two pairs of beasts charging at each other with ferocity. The Tornado Wyverns launched powerful gusts of wind and tornadoes, while Nova and Stella countered with blasts of solar and lunar energy.

The audience watched in awe as the battle raged on, with neither side gaining the upper hand. The Skywing student continued to taunt Orion, hurling insults and mocking his beasts.

"You call those beasts?" he sneered. "They're no match for the power of my Tornado Wyverns!"

Orion merely smiled in response, his eyes focused on the battle. He knew that his beasts were powerful, and he had faith in their abilities.

As the battle wore on, it became clear that both sides were evenly matched. The Tornado Wyverns were powerful, but they struggled to keep up with Nova and Stella's agility and speed. Meanwhile, the Primordial Lunar Wolf and Primordial Solar Eagle continued to strike with precision, using their unique skills and abilities to their advantage.

The Apex and Skywing students cheered on their respective beasts, shouting words of encouragement and insults at each other. The tension in the arena was palpable, with both sides determined to emerge victorious.

"You're nothing but a weakling!" the Skywing student taunted Orion, his eyes flashing with arrogance. "You and your beasts can't handle the power of the storm!"

Orion merely smiled in response, his confidence unshaken. He knew that his beasts were capable of anything, and he continued to fight with everything he had.

The two Tornado Wyverns continued to barrage Nova and Stella with powerful gusts of wind and tornadoes, hoping to wear them down. But the Primordial Lunar Wolf and Primordial Solar Eagle were not so easily defeated.

Stella's Solar Flare skill unleashed a sudden burst of solar energy, scorching the Tornado Wyverns and causing them to falter. Nova then followed up with a concentrated beam of lunar energy, dealing massive damage to one of the Wyverns.

The injured Wyvern roared in anger, unleashing a twister that threatened to engulf Nova and Stella. But the Primordial Lunar Wolf was quick to act, leaping onto the Wyvern's back and sinking its Lunar Fangs deep into the beast's scales. The Wyvern let out a pained cry, struggling to shake off the Lunar Wolf, but its efforts were in vain. The Solar Eagle swooped in, unleashing a Storm Strike that crackled with lightning, causing the Wyvern to howl in pain.

The other Tornado Wyvern tried to come to its companion's aid, summoning a powerful gust of wind that nearly knocked Nova and Stella off their feet. But the Primordial Solar Eagle was ready, using its Gale Force Winds to create an opposing gust that pushed back the Wyvern and left it vulnerable. The Lunar Wolf seized the opportunity, delivering a powerful Shadow Pounce that sent the Wyvern crashing to the ground.

The Skywing student could barely contain his frustration as he watched his beasts struggle against Orion's formidable duo. "What's the matter?" he taunted. "Can't handle the heat?"

Orion merely smiled, his confidence unshaken. He knew that his beasts were capable of anything, and he continued to fight with everything he had. Stella's Sunburst Shield skill created a protective barrier of primordial solar energy that shielded both her and Nova from the Wyvern's attacks. Meanwhile, Nova's Primordial Lunar Body ability enabled it to move faster and jump higher in areas with moonlight, allowing it to evade the Wyvern's attacks with ease.

The Tornado Wyverns continued to lash out with wind and storms, but their attacks were growing weaker by the second. The Primordial Lunar Wolf and Primordial Solar Eagle had found their rhythm, striking with precision and using their unique abilities to devastating effect.

The battle continued to intensify, with the two sides locked in a fierce struggle for dominance. The Tornado Wyverns attempted to summon their full power, unleashing a powerful cyclone that threatened to engulf the entire arena. But the Primordial Solar Eagle was quick to react, unleashing a counter-storm that collided with the Wyvern's cyclone, causing a massive explosion of elemental energy.

The shockwave from the explosion sent both beasts reeling, their bodies battered and bruised from the intense energy. But the Primordial Lunar Wolf and Primordial Solar Eagle were not finished yet. They launched themselves at the weakened Tornado Wyverns, striking with a flurry of attacks that left them disoriented and vulnerable.

The Skywing student could hardly believe what he was seeing. His beasts, which he had believed to be unbeatable, were now on the brink of defeat. He screamed in frustration, urging his Wyverns to fight back with all their might.

But it was too late. The Primordial Lunar Wolf sunk its Lunar Fangs deep into the scales of one of the Wyverns, causing it to roar in agony. The Primordial Solar Eagle swooped in, unleashing a devastating Storm Strike that crackled with lightning and sent the Wyvern crashing to the ground.

The other Tornado Wyvern attempted to come to its companion's aid, but it was too weak to mount a proper defense. Nova and Stella continued to strike with precision, using their unique skills and abilities to devastating effect. In a last-ditch effort, the Wyvern unleashed a powerful gust of wind, hoping to knock the two beasts off their feet. But the Primordial Solar Eagle was ready, using its Wind Mastery ability to control the wind and deflect the attack back at the Wyvern.

The Wyvern let out a pained cry as it was buffeted by its own attack, struggling to stay upright. But the Primordial Lunar Wolf was already upon it, delivering a final blow that sent the Wyvern crashing to the ground in a heap.

The arena fell silent as the battle came to an end. The Skywing student could barely believe what he had just witnessed. His beasts, which he had believed to be unbeatable, had been defeated by Orion's formidable duo.

Orion approached the defeated student with a smile, extending a hand in congratulations. "You put up a good fight," he said. "Your beasts were powerful, but mine were simply too much for them to handle."

The Skywing student shook Orion's hand, a look of respect on his face. "You and your beasts are truly remarkable," he said. "I hope we can face each other in battle again someday."

With that, the battle came to a close, and the audience erupted into cheers and applause. The Primordial Lunar Wolf and Primordial Solar Eagle had emerged victorious, their unique abilities and skills proving too much for even the most powerful of opponents.

As the competition drew to a close, the Apex students emerged as the clear victors, having won the majority of the battles and proven their mettle against some of the most powerful Spirit Beasts in the realm.

Orion and his beasts had played a key role in that victory, their unique abilities and skills earning them a place of honor among their fellow competitors.

As they walked away from the arena, Orion felt a sense of pride and satisfaction wash over him. He knew that there would be many more battles and challenges to come, but he was confident that he and his beasts were ready for whatever lay ahead.

Together, they would face the unknown with courage and determination, always striving to push the limits of what was possible and prove that true strength came not from individual power, but from the bonds of trust and friendship that bound them together.

As they made their way towards the exit, the Apex students were met with cheers and congratulations from their fellow competitors. Even some of the Skywing students, who had initially mocked them, were now offering their respect and admiration for their skill and dedication.

However, not everyone was in a congratulatory mood. The chancellors of both the Apex and Skywing schools, who had been watching the competition from the sidelines, approached the group with a sneer on their faces.

"Congratulations, Apex," the Skywing chancellor said sarcastically. "You managed to win a competition that was clearly rigged in your favor."

Orion bristled at the insult, but he kept his cool. He knew that the chancellors were just bitter about their defeat and were looking for any excuse to belittle their victory.

"I'm sorry you feel that way," he replied evenly. "But I assure you, the competition was fair and unbiased. Our victory was earned through hard work and dedication."

The Apex chancellor stepped forward, his expression stern. "Don't pay any attention to them, Orion," he said, clapping a hand on his shoulder. "You and your beasts proved yourselves today. That's all that matters."

Orion smiled gratefully, feeling a surge of pride at the chancellor's words. He knew that their victory had not come easily, but it had been worth it to see the bonds between him and his beasts grow even stronger.

As they made their way out of the arena and back to their school, Orion felt a sense of contentment wash over him. He knew that there would always be challenges and obstacles in their path, but with his beasts by his side, he was ready to face them head-on.

For the Primordial Lunar Wolf and Primordial Solar Eagle, the battle had been just one more step on their journey towards greatness. Together, they would continue to push the boundaries of what was possible and prove that the bonds of trust and friendship were the true keys to unlocking their full potential.
