The Primordial Tamer

Chapter 13 The Second Day Of The Tournament

?The next day, Orion woke up early and prepared himself for the second stage. He fed his beasts and checked their condition, ensuring that they were in peak condition for the upcoming battles. He also reviewed his strategy and made some adjustments based on his performance in the previous stage.

As he made his way to the arena, he saw that the crowd was bigger than the previous day. He felt a surge of excitement and nerves, knowing that the competition was getting tougher and the battles more intense.

Orion stepped into the arena with Nova at his side. The crowd roared as he made his way to his designated area. The announcer's voice boomed through the arena, introducing the first battle of the day.

"The next battle will be between Orion and his Dire Wolf, Nova, and the Fire Bird and Thunder Bird combo of the competitor from the Southern Region!"

Orion was hiding the fact that Nova was a Primordial Wolf, so he told the committee that his beast was a Dire Wolf. Nova's appearance was also the same as Dire Wolf, but Nova was bigger and stronger than Dire Wolf.

The committee also didn't mention Stella because I only released Nova for my battle, so The committee didn't say my other beast. It was also good to hide my strength and surprise my opponent later.

Orion's heart skipped a beat when he heard about his opponent. A combination of two powerful beasts would be an interesting sight for him, but he was sure that Nova could handle it. Nova was stronger than ordinary Rare Beasts, after all.

The competitor from the Southern Region stepped into the arena, a tall and muscular man with a stern expression on his face. He also began to release his beasts into the arena.

Orion took a deep breath and nodded at Nova, signaling for him to get ready for the battle. The Fire Bird and Thunder Bird duo took their positions on the other side of the arena.

The referee signaled the start of the battle, and the Fire Bird let out a screeching cry as it unleashed a burst of flames toward Nova. The Primordial Wolf dodged the attack with ease, swiftly moving to the side and then jumping forward to strike the Fire Bird with his sharp claws.

The Thunder Bird swooped in from behind, unleashing a bolt of lightning toward Nova. Orion gritted his teeth as he watched the lightning strike Nova's fur, sending sparks flying in all directions. Nova let out a fierce growl as he turned to face the Thunder Bird, his eyes glowing with a fiery determination.

Orion knew that Nova didn't really get injured by those attacks in this battle, but watching it still sometimes made him shudder. The Fire Bird and Thunder Bird were both powerful beasts, and their combination made them even more difficult to defeat, but it was only for an ordinary beast tamer.

Nova launched himself toward the Thunder Bird. His claws extended as he slashed at the bird's wings. The Thunder Bird let out a loud screech as it fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

The Fire Bird let out another burst of flames, but Nova was too quick. He dodged the attack and lunged forward, biting down hard on the Fire Bird's neck. The Fire Bird struggled to break free, but Nova held on tight, his powerful jaws crushing the bird's windpipe.

The crowd erupted in cheers as the Fire Bird, and Thunder Bird fell defeated on the ground. Orion breathed a sigh of relief as he walked towards Nova, patting him on the head. Nova didn't really break a sweat on this battle.

"Well done, my friend," he said, a smile spreading across his face. "We did it."

Nova let out a happy bark, his tail wagging as he looked up at Orion with bright, intelligent eyes. Orion couldn't help but feel a surge of pride as he watched his beast, knowing that they had made a great team.

Orion moved to the side of the arena to wait for his next battle. He knew that the competition would only get tougher from here, and he needed to be prepared for whatever challenges lay ahead, but seeing all the battles he fought, he was still thinking that he could win this.

As he waited, he watched the other battles unfold. He saw some participants struggling with their beasts while others seemed to have an easy time defeating their opponents. He took mental notes, studying their strengths and weaknesses so that he could adjust his strategy accordingly.

Finally, it was time for Orion's second battle of the day. He took his place in the arena, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement as he awaited his opponent.

The announcer's voice boomed through the arena once again. "The next battle will be between Orion and his Dire Wolf, Nova, and the two-headed serpent of the competitor from the Eastern Region!"

Orion's eyes widened as he saw the two-headed serpent slither into the arena. The creature was massive, its scales glistening under the bright lights of the arena. Orion's heart raced as he realized that this was going to be a tough battle.

He quickly assessed the serpent's strengths and weaknesses, noting its incredible speed and agility, as well as its ability to breathe fire. Orion knew that he would have to be strategic in his approach if he wanted to win.

Nova, sensing his master's unease, let out a low growl and bared his teeth. Orion placed a hand on the wolf's head, reassuring him that everything would be alright.

The announcer called out the start of the battle, and the two beasts charged toward each other. The serpent's head lashed out, spitting flames at Nova, but the wolf dodged and weaved between the flames with ease.

Orion watched intently, his mind racing as he tried to come up with a plan. He knew that Nova's brute strength alone wouldn't be enough to defeat the serpent, so he needed to find a way to use the wolf's speed and agility to his advantage.

Suddenly, he saw an opening. The serpent had slithered up onto a rock, its two heads swaying back and forth as it scanned the arena. Orion gestured to Nova, signaling for him to move in.

The wolf darted towards the serpent, moving with lightning-fast speed as he circled around the creature. The serpent's heads lunged out, but Nova was too quick, darting out of reach each time.

Finally, the wolf made his move. He launched himself at the serpent's flank, his jaws clamping down on its scales. The serpent roared in pain and fury, its head thrashing wildly as it tried to dislodge Nova.

Orion watched, his heart racing as the battle unfolded. He could see the strain in Nova's muscles as he fought to hold onto the serpent, but the wolf was relentless, his teeth digging deeper into the creature's flesh with each passing moment.

Finally, with a mighty roar, the serpent collapsed to the ground, defeated. Orion let out a sigh of relief, his heart pounding in his chest as he stepped forward to congratulate Nova on a job well done.

The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, and Orion felt a surge of pride wash over him. He had always known that Nova was a powerful beast, but seeing him in action was something else entirely.

As the announcer called out the end of the battle, Orion made his way back to the staging area, his mind already focused on the next battle. He knew that the competition was only going to get tougher from here on out, and he needed to be ready for anything.

Orion glanced at Nova and noticed that his fur was glowing brighter than before. He wondered if it was just a trick of the light or if there was something more to it.

The next opponent was a giant golem, a hulking creature made entirely of stone. Orion knew that this would be a tough battle, as the golem was known for its incredible strength and durability.

As the battle began, Orion commanded Nova to charge at the golem head-on. The golem swung its massive arms at Nova, but the wolf dodged and weaved around its attacks with ease. Nova then leaped onto the golem's back and began to bite and scratch at its tough stone skin.

The golem tried to shake Nova off, but the wolf held on tight. Orion watched in amazement as Nova's attacks began to crack and chip away at the golem's stone exterior.

Eventually, the golem became too weakened to continue fighting, and Orion and Nova emerged victorious once again. The crowd was even more stunned than before, amazed at the incredible power and skill of the Primordial Wolf.

As they made their way back to the staging area, Orion noticed that Nova's fur was glowing even brighter than before. He wondered if the energy from the battles was somehow making Nova stronger or if there was some other explanation.

The next opponent was a giant scorpion, a fearsome creature with venomous stingers and razor-sharp pincers. Orion knew that this battle would be particularly dangerous, as a single sting from the scorpion could be deadly.

As the battle began, Orion commanded Nova to stay out of range of the scorpion's stingers and to focus on attacking its legs. Nova obeyed, darting in and out of the scorpion's reach as he nipped and scratched at its armored limbs.

The scorpion tried to catch Nova with its pincers, but the wolf was too quick. Orion watched as Nova's attacks began to wear down the scorpion's defenses until finally, the creature fell to the ground, defeated.

Once again, the crowd erupted into cheers and applause, and Orion felt a sense of pride and satisfaction. He had never felt more alive than he did at that moment, watching Nova unleash his full power and potential in battle.

As they made their way back to the staging area, Orion noticed that Nova's fur was now glowing so brightly that it almost seemed to be emitting its own light. He wondered if there was some sort of transformation taking place within the wolf, or if it was simply the energy from the battles fueling his strength.
