Aetheric Chronicles: Reborn As An Extra

"Adrian's 20th wae has arrived! This time the Destroyer is a black wyvern! Let's see if Adrian can hold his ground against the Destroyer this time! Or will he surprise us again by defeating it quickly?"

The crowd watched with bated breath as the monstrous black wyvern approached, its massive wings creating powerful gusts of wind with each beat. The wyvern's scales glinted ominously in the light, its eyes burning with a malevolent red glow.

"Look, the 20th wave has arrived! Let's watch how Adrian will fare against the Destroyer!" the female announcer's voice was filled with suspense.

"Wait, why aren't the archers and mages doing anything? Why is Adrian standing still?" the male announcer asked, confusion evident in his tone.

Indeed, Adrian and his troops remained motionless, not a single arrow or spell being launched towards the approaching behemoth. The audience murmured in confusion, trying to understand the strategy behind Adrian's inaction.

Adrian stood on the walls, his eyes fixed on the horizon. The Dream Stalker had instructed him not to order his troops to attack the Destroyer, and though he felt a twinge of uncertainty, he trusted the vision he had and the plan he prepared. He kept his focus on the wyvern, waiting for the right moment.

'Thankfully the vision appeared at the right time, or else I would have lost the event.'

Suddenly, the sky began to darken. Clouds swirled and gathered with unnatural speed, blotting out the sun and casting the battlefield into eerie twilight. The wind picked up, growing into a fierce gale that whipped through the fortress and the surrounding landscape.

A hush fell over the arena as everyone watched in stunned silence. The announcers' voices fell silent, their own confusion mirroring that of the audience.

Without warning, a massive hurricane formed in the sky, its spiraling winds creating a deafening roar. The eye of the storm glowed with an otherworldly light, and from its center, a powerful presence began to emerge.

Adrian's heart pounded in his chest. He had sensed something extraordinary was about to happen, but the sheer magnitude of the phenomenon took even him by surprise.

'Guess, I don't have worry about anything.'

From the heart of the hurricane, a figure materialized. It was a wind elemental, a towering being of swirling air and energy, its form constantly shifting and flowing. The elemental's eyes shone with a fierce intensity, and its presence radiated raw power.

With a roar that echoed like a thunderclap, the wind elemental launched itself from the hurricane, hurtling towards the black wyvern. The force of its movement caused shockwaves, sending gusts of wind that nearly knocked Adrian off his feet.

The black wyvern snarled, sensing the new threat. It tried to dodge, but the elemental was too fast. The two collided in mid-air with a resounding crash, the impact creating a shockwave that reverberated across the battlefield.

The audience watched in awe as the elemental and the wyvern engaged in a fierce aerial battle. The Elemental's attacks were like concentrated blasts of wind, each one striking with devastating force. The wyvern retaliated with powerful swipes of its claws and blasts of dark energy from its mouth, but the elemental's agile, shifting form made it a difficult target.

Adrian's troops, still following his orders to hold their fire, watched the spectacle unfold silently.

"Is that... a wind elemental?" the male announcer finally found his voice. "Incredible! Adrian must have used the bonus reward to summon such a creature!"

The female announcer added, "This changes everything! The battle between the Destroyer and the wind elemental is a sight to behold. Can Adrian's mysterious ally defeat the wyvern?"

The arena buzzed with a mix of shock and excitement as the wind elemental and the black wyvern clashed in a spectacular display of power. Adrian watched intently as well, his heart racing as the two titans battled above his fortress.

The wind elemental moved with incredible speed and agility, its form constantly shifting and reforming as it attacked. Each gust of wind it generated struck the wyvern with the force of a hurricane, sending the beast reeling. The wyvern roared in fury, its dark energy blasts and vicious claws barely able to touch the elusive elemental.

The announcers' voices filled the arena, their excitement palpable.

"Look at that! The wind elemental is tearing the wyvern apart!" the male announcer exclaimed. "Now I understand why Adrian decided to hold his troops. They would be only a hindrance to the Wind Elemental. His plan has paid off spectacularly!"

The female announcer added, "Indeed! This is a battle of epic proportions. The elemental's speed and power are overwhelming the wyvern. I think it will be enough to secure Adrian's victory in this wave."

The crowd watched in awe as the wind elemental unleashed a particularly powerful attack. A concentrated blast of wind struck the wyvern's wings, shredding the membranes and making it impossible for the beast to stay aloft. The wyvern screeched in agony, its massive form plummeting towards the ground.

The elemental didn't relent. It followed the wyvern down, its attacks relentless and precise. With a final, devastating gust of wind, the elemental struck the wyvern's head, the force of the blow shattering its skull. The black wyvern crashed to the ground, lifeless, its dark energy dissipating into the air.

A stunned silence fell over the arena, broken only by the sound of the wind elemental's swirling form. The audience erupted into cheers, the sound echoing through the stands as they witnessed Adrian's incredible victory.

Adrian's name flashed at the top of the ranking list once more, marking him as the first to clear the 20th wave.

[Congratulations, Adrian Lighthaven! You have completed the 20th wave in 48 seconds, securing first place.]

Adrian let out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding, a triumphant smile spreading across his face. The wind elemental had been the key to his victory, and he was grateful for the timely vision that had led him to this moment. Or else the Dream Stalker would have succeded in his plan.
