The Primordial Tamer

Chapter 41 Apex Counterattack

?There were two matches left in the final round of the competition. Orion was stationed to fight in the fifth match, so he could only hope for the fourth battle to be won by Apex student.

Orion watched intently as the fourth match began, hoping that the Apex student would emerge victorious. He knew that the outcome of the match could make all the difference in determining the winner of the competition.

The two opponents stepped into the arena, and the crowd fell silent as they prepared for battle. The Apex student had chosen a sleek and agile Cheetah as his beast, while the Skywing student had opted for a formidable Wyvern.

The battle was fierce from the start, with the Cheetah darting and weaving around the Wyvern's attacks. The Wyvern was powerful, with razor-sharp claws and a venomous bite, but it was slow and cumbersome compared to the nimble Cheetah.

The Apex student and his Cheetah launched a series of lightning-fast attacks, striking at the Wyvern's weak points and dodging its powerful swipes. The Skywing student and his Wyvern fought back with ferocity, launching powerful blasts of fire and poison at the Cheetah.

The audience watched with bated breath as the battle raged on, neither side willing to give an inch. The Apex students cheered on their fellow classmate, shouting words of encouragement and mocking their opponents. The Skywing students, on the other hand, grew increasingly frustrated as their Wyvern struggled to keep up with the Cheetah's speed and agility.

"You're too slow!" one of the Apex students taunted, as the Cheetah darted around the Wyvern's attacks. "Can't handle the heat?"

The Skywing students gritted their teeth in anger, but they refused to be rattled by their opponents' taunts. They continued to fight with everything they had, determined to come out on top.

As the battle wore on, it became clear that the Apex student and his Cheetah had the upper hand. The Wyvern was powerful, but it was no match for the Cheetah's speed and agility. The Apex student and his beast worked together flawlessly, striking at the Wyvern's weak points and dodging its attacks with ease.

The Skywing student and his Wyvern were clearly struggling, their attacks becoming more and more desperate as they tried to turn the tide of the battle. The Skywing student grew increasingly frustrated, his confidence shaken by his inability to keep up with the Apex student and his Cheetah.

"You're nothing but a weakling!" he shouted at his opponent, his voice laced with anger and frustration.

The Apex student merely laughed in response, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Looks like you're the one who's weak," he taunted, as he launched another powerful attack at the Wyvern. "You can't even keep up with my Cheetah."

The Skywing student glared at his opponent, his jaw clenched in anger. He knew he had to do something to turn the tide of the battle, but he wasn't sure what. He and his Wyvern continued to fight, launching attack after attack, but they were no match for the Apex student and his Cheetah.

The crowd grew restless as the battle dragged on, eager for a conclusion. The Apex students continued to cheer on their classmate, their confidence growing with each passing moment. The Skywing students, on the other hand, were growing increasingly agitated, their frustration boiling over as they watched their classmate struggle.

"You're a cheater!" one of the Skywing students shouted, his voice shaking with anger. "You must be using some sort of illegal enhancement on that Cheetah!"

The Apex student merely shrugged off the comment, his expression calm and collected. "I don't need any enhancements to win," he said, his voice dripping with confidence. "My skills are all I need."

The Skywing student gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes flashing with fury. He knew that his opponent was right, that the Apex student and his Cheetah were simply better than him and his Wyvern. But he refused to give up, even as the Apex student continued to taunt him.

"You're going down!" he shouted, as he launched a powerful attack at the Cheetah. "I won't let you beat me!"

The Apex student and his Cheetah dodged the attack with ease, launching a counterattack that sent the Wyvern crashing to the ground. The Skywing student groaned in pain, his body battered and bruised from the battle.

The Apex student and his Cheetah circled their fallen opponent, ready to deliver the final blow. The Skywing students watched in horror as their classmate struggled to get back to his feet, his body shaking with pain and exhaustion.

"You can't win," the Apex student said, his voice calm and measured. "It's over."

The Skywing student glared at his opponent, his eyes filled with defiance. "Not yet," he said, as he launched one final attack at the Cheetah.

The attack missed its mark, and the Skywing student collapsed to the ground, his body unable to take any more punishment. The Apex student and his Cheetah emerged victorious, their confidence soaring as they prepared for the final battle of the competition.

Orion watched in awe as the Apex student, and his Cheetah were declared the winners of the fourth match. He knew that the outcome of the next battle would determine the winner of the competition, and he could only hope that he and his beast were up to the challenge.

As the scores were now tied, the tension in the arena grew even thicker. Both the Skywing and Apex students were on edge, knowing that the final battle would determine the winner of the competition. The audience was buzzing with excitement, with many cheering for their favored academy.

The Skywing students, despite their earlier arrogance, were now nervous and uncertain. "We can't lose this," one whispered to his friend, his eyes wide with worry. "We have to win."

The Apex students, on the other hand, were filled with confidence, buoyed by their recent victories. "We've got this," one said to another, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. "There's no way we're going to lose now."

The tension between the two sides was palpable, with both the Skywing and Apex students locked in a battle of wills. They exchanged wary glances, each side determined to come out on top.

The Skywing students were whispering amongst themselves, their voices hushed and nervous. "We can't let them win," one said, his eyes flickering with fear. "We have to do whatever it takes to come out on top."

The Apex students, on the other hand, were much more confident. They laughed and joked with each other, their expressions smug and self-assured. "Looks like we're going to win this one," one said to his friend, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. "No way we can lose now."

The two chancellors were also watching the scene unfold, their expressions grave. The Skywing chancellor looked worried, his eyes darting from his students to the Apex students. The Apex chancellor, on the other hand, looked calm and collected, his eyes fixed on the arena.

The Skywing chancellor approached the Apex chancellor, his expression serious. "This is quite the competition we have on our hands," he said, his tone measured.

The Apex chancellor nodded in agreement. "Indeed," he replied. "Your students have put up quite a fight."

The Skywing chancellor's expression darkened. "We can't afford to lose this," he said, his voice low. "It would be a blow to our academy's reputation."

The Apex chancellor merely smiled. "I'm confident in my students," he said, his eyes fixed on the arena. "But I know you and your students won't go down without a fight."

The Skywing chancellor nodded, his expression determined. "We'll see about that," he said, before turning his attention back to his students.

The tension between the two chancellors was palpable, and the conversation left both sides on edge. The Skywing students were more determined than ever to win, while the Apex students were confident that they could emerge victorious.

Orion could feel the weight of the competition resting heavily on his shoulders. He knew that the fate of his academy rested on his ability to win the final battle. The other Apex students were counting on him, and he couldn't let them down.

As he prepared for the final battle, the other Apex students gathered around him, offering words of encouragement and support. "We believe in you," one said, clapping him on the back. "You can do this."

The Skywing students were also gathering together, their eyes fixed on the arena. "We have to win this," one of them said, his voice firm. "We can't let them beat us."

The two opponents stepped into the arena, the crowd falling silent as they prepared for battle. Orion had summoned his powerful beasts, Nova and Stella.

Nova was a primordial lunar wolf, her fur shining a bright silver under the arena's bright lights. She was massive, easily towering over Orion with her broad shoulders and powerful frame. Her eyes glowed with an otherworldly light, and her fangs glinted in the light.

Stella was a primordial solar eagle, her feathers a dazzling gold that sparkled in the sunlight. She was swift and graceful, her wings spanning out to their full length as she took to the air. Her talons were sharp as razors, and her beak was powerful enough to crush stone.
