Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 931: Tempest's Fury: Beast's Immense Power

With his transformation complete, Beast felt the surge of power coursing through his veins, his senses heightened and his body infused with the raw energy of the wyvern. He spread his wings wide, feeling the rush of wind beneath them as he took to the sky, his newfound form soaring effortlessly above the battlefield.

The transformation was actually a bit weaker than the one he would have when fusing with Blackie when it came to sheer stat increase, but there were two main things that made this one actually better.

The first one was mobility, after all, Beast was granted wings in this state, and he was much more mobile compared to a different transformation. The wings gave him a big advantage over most other enemies, and the scales of the wyvern gave slightly more defense compared to the fur he would get from Blackie.

The second thing that made this transformation better was the wyvern's ability.

It had wind control, just like Beast.

When fusing, their two abilities fused and went through a qualitative change, improving Beast's ability further and making it more powerful and easier to control.

The flood dragon, caught off guard by Beast's transformation, paused in its onslaught, its eyes narrowing in surprise and suspicion. It had anticipated that its opponent would possess such a formidable ability, but Beast's current state was a bit above what it thought it would be.

Now, faced with the dragonoid human before it, it knew that the stakes of the battle had been raised to a whole new level. Just like it had gone all out, its enemy was going all out as well, ready to put everything he had in order to defeat it.

Beast wasted no time in capitalizing on his newfound power. With a primal roar, he unleashed a barrage of wind blades from his claws, each one slicing through the air with deadly precision as they homed in on the flood dragon with relentless force.

Each wind blade was faster and deadlier than an arrow that he had previously launched at the flood dragon, and they took much less time to be launched.

The dragon, taken aback by the sudden onslaught, attempted to summon a barrier of water to deflect Beast's attacks, but it was too late, the water could not get there on time to create a thick barrier. The wind blades tore through the thin barrier with ease, striking the dragon with ferocious intensity as the ice that had formed an armor around it cracked a bit.

It still wasn't damaged, but compared to before, this was already much better.

The dragon was unable to respond in time to Beast's fast attacks, which meant he now held an advantage.

But Beast was not finished with his attack yet.

With a swift motion, he summoned a vortex of wind energy around him, its swirling maelstrom gathering strength with each passing moment. The wind howled like a tempest, its power growing with each beat of Beast's wings as he prepared to unleash his ultimate attack while small blades of wind would get out of the vortex and attack the dragon in order to keep it busy.

Blackie was not standing idle either.

He would have preferred that Beast used him for the evolution, after all, Blackie had been with him for the longest and he had become quite proud of himself, always being the main choice for Beast when fighting enemies and fusing, but he understood that the wyvern was the better choice for this battle.

Right now, the wyvern was present amongst Beast's tamed beasts, and the flood dragon they were fighting against might be the next one to join them, which would make it so that Blackie would now have to work harder to earn his spot as the strongest tamed beast that Beast possessed.

He was not annoyed or afraid, however, but excited.

He would show that he was the best choice, the strongest of them all, and he would start now, by keeping the dragon busy and having it suffer some pain.

Blackie turned into a black blur before suddenly jumping and appearing right in front of the dragon's face.

Blackie was truly fast, amongst the entire party, perhaps only Shadow and Reign were slightly above him in speed, and that was only if they went all out.

The mark on Blackie's forehead was already shining and Blackie roared, summoning a bolt of lightning to drop on himself from the cloudy sky before that lightning turned black and charged at the dragon.

A barrier of ice quickly formed in front of its face in order to block the powerful bolt of lightning, but soon shattered from the immense power behind the black lightning that struck him with great force, causing its face to be pushed back as it darkened, its scales getting scorched by the lightning.

And yet, that was still not all as Blackie finally fell down, clearing the way for Beast who was finally finished preparing his attack.

With a mighty roar, Beast released the vortex, sending it hurtling toward the flood dragon with unstoppable force. The swirling cyclone tore through the air, its destructive power unmatched as it bore down on the dragon with relentless fury.

The dragon clenched its teeth as it knew it was too late to use his ability to defend against the attack.

It stared straight at the vortex while channeling its mana throughout its body, reinforcing it so it would be able to take the attack.

But even with its enhanced defenses, the flood dragon could not withstand the full force of Beast's onslaught. The vortex of wind energy crashed into the dragon with bone-shattering force, its powerful winds tearing through the dragon's scales and battering its body with relentless fury.

The power of the vortex was so immense that even Reign and the others had to channel mana to their bodies in order to continue standing and not be blown away by the powerful wind that was further destroying the area around them.

Blackie was crouching on the ground, his powerful claws deep inside some large rocks that were present as he channeled mana to them to keep himself still and near the battle.

The dragon roared in agony as it struggled to hold its ground against the onslaught, its form buffeted by the raging winds as it fought to maintain its footing. But Beast's attack was relentless, each gust of wind driving the dragon further and further back until it was forced to the ground under the sheer force of the assault.

The dragon had already left the lake a while ago and was near it, which was perfect for Beast.

Had the dragon kept his body inside the lake, it would have been able to dive down in an attempt to get away from the vortex, but on the ground, it had nowhere to go.

It had gotten angry, as well as too conceited by its power, believing that there was no way for Beast to defeat it alone, so it had arrogantly charged at him previously.

That one act would be the reason it would lose.

As the cyclone raged around them, Beast continued to pour his mana into the attack, channeling every ounce of his strength into delivering the final blow. With a primal roar, he summoned even more wind energy, adding to the vortex's already overwhelming power as he prepared to unleash the finishing blow.

The flood dragon, battered and bruised, summoned the last of its strength, its eyes blazing with determination as it prepared to face its inevitable defeat. With a final surge of energy, it unleashed a blast of water, its last desperate attempt to push back against Beast's onslaught and turn the tide of battle in its favor.

The blast of water was not really a blast, in fact, Beast was quite surprised by it.

The dragon had used quite a bit of mana, but from its mouth, only a thin stream of water came out, but that alone made Beast's eyes constrict.

He couldn't dodge it.

It was akin to a laser.

The thin stream of water was compressed water, and it passed through the cyclone easily, cutting straight to it and arriving in front of Beast in an instant.

It came from below and went up, passing through Beast's left leg, arm, and wing.

He simply stood frozen in the air, his eyes showing disbelief before his left arm, leg, and wing detached themselves from his body.

The vortex stopped as Beast started falling down from the air, and the dragon stared at him with fury and hatred, but suddenly, it felt danger from the side.

The dragon glanced to the side, only to see Blackie, whose mark was shining even brighter while lightning was causing mayhem all around him.

Black pounced on the dragon that was lying on the ground, grabbing its throat and using his lightning to shock the entire body of the dragon. The giant dragon tried to resist, but it had used most of its strength already, and Blackie continued holding its neck.

"Just like that, hold it like that Blackie!"

Beast roared as he summoned more strength and used his wind to blast him toward the dragon as he continued falling down.

Even though he had lost a wing and two limbs, he was still not finished, in fact, his eyes showed just how determined he was to end this battle and win.
