Dominion of The Beast Masters

Chapter 229: Hope and Broken Chains



The arena thundered with the crowd's roar, a wave of exhilaration sweeping through the audience as the impossible seemed to inch closer.

The scoreboard displayed 4-3, and the unthinkable comeback was now within reach. Just one more point to equalize, two to secure a victory that defied every expectation. And on the field, Eratz was still in shape, his body glowing faintly with the remnants of Kaida's fire field spell.

On the World Star bench, Tamara uncrossed her arms for the first time. Her sharp gaze, unreadable until now, carried a glimmer of disbelief as she leaned forward slightly, watching intently.

Up in the Infinite Twilight booth, Kallistra sat wide-eyed. Her serene smile had been replaced by an expression of awe an euphoria.

Sia's lips parted in shock, her usual icy demeanor cracking. Rex leaned forward, his sharp eyes fixed on the battlefield, while Arin's fingers froze mid-motion, hovering above the rim of her glasses.

The rest of Infinite Twilight's team sat in stunned silence, the tension gripping them as tightly as the crowd. This wasn't supposed to happen. It wasn't possible. Yet, Golden Cosmos was clawing its way back, defying the odds with every battle.

Colin and Milo worked quickly, their hands glowing as they poured energy into Kaida. She struggled to her feet, her body trembling as she tested her healed leg. Her foot tapped against the ground, then stomped firmly.

"It's okay," she said with a small grin. But as she shifted her weight, the pain struck again, and she stumbled.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Eratz's eyes darted to her, then back to Moses and Fredrin. His lips curved into a faint smile. "Good call," he said, his voice steady despite the chaos. "And sorry about that."

Kaida chuckled softly, waving him off.

"Tranquilo. I'm glad to not be the one who need a new face," she replied, her tone matching

his.

The fire surrounding Eratz began mending his wounds, the glow intensifying as bruises faded and cuts sealed themselves.

The two exchanged a glance, then turned their attention to the remaining fighters of World Star.

"We're so close, you know?" Kaida said, her voice quieter. "Just one more and we can tie. Two and... we can actually win... against the strongest agency." Her words hung in the air, hope glimmering in her eyes.

Eratz smirked.

"Yeah. But your job's not done. Keep Milo and Colin safe. If you're not doing it, I can't freestyle."

Kaida opened her mouth to protest, she wanted to do more, to be more useful, but once she saw his face, she stopped.

At this moment, what they needed most wasn't teamwork, it was trust in each other's roles. She observed him for a moment, then sighed and smiled instead.

"Got it, boss," she said, bumping her fist lightly against his arm.

As she stepped back, she noticed the faintest imperfection in his grin.

"Hey... Is that... When did you lose a tooth?"

Eratz raised an eyebrow, running his tongue over the gap.

"Huh. Damn. They really got me," he said with a laugh. "What a joke. Now I'm really ugly, right, Colin?"

He only meant to ease the tension, but Colin flinched, her fists clenching tightly.

"You... You've never been ugly! Not even a little bit," she shouted, her voice trembling. Before she could say more, Milo straightened his back, speaking up.

"Yes! Even without all your teeth... You're the most handsome! If I was Mercury, I would marry you! If I was you... I would cheat on her with me!" he added, his voice earnest. "L-let me do it. I can regrow your tooth! I'll unugly you!"

Colin looked at him, her determination rekindled.

"He's not ugly! But I can do it too! Open your mouth," she said, her fire blazing in her hands.

Eratz stifled a laugh, stepping back from the two kids who seemed ready to finish what World Star had started.

"Appreciate it," he said. "But I need to look like a beast for this one. And I prefer to believe in inner beauty."

"But we don't walk with X-rays," Milo protested.

The group fell silent, turning slowly to stare at Milo. Kaida's eyebrow arched, Colin blinked in disbelief, and Eratz tilted his head with a smirk.

Milo seemed unaware of what he said, so they just ignored it. Kaida grinned, glancing between the two and back at Eratz.

"Anyway, you've got the idea, Mr. MVP. We need a monster for what's coming next."

Colin frowned, wanting to argue, but Milo gently held her arm.

"Maybe... maybe we should let them do their job?" he said quietly. "I... I can't do much except heal, but I can do that for them."

Colin's shoulders slumped, surprised by Milo's rare wisdom. Deep down, she knew he was right.

Up on the Golden Cosmos bench, Victoria leaned against the railing, her breath shallow as she watched the scene unfold. Her eyes glistened with a mixture of pride and overwhelming emotion.

Beside her, Zara's hands covered her mouth, her usual composure replaced by wide-eyed hope.

Mercury leaned forward, her expression shifted from disbelief to a faint, cautious smile. Catarina and Raya exchanged glances, their exhaustion giving way to a shared understanding:

they might actually win.

But their joy was short-lived. A movement on the battlefield drew their attention.

"Damn it..." Mercury murmured, her voice tinged with apprehension.

On the field, Fredrin's frustration was palpable. His hands balled into fists, his jaw clenched tightly. His confidence wavered as he watched the Golden Cosmos fighters regroup.

Before despair could take hold, a shadow moved past him, heavy footsteps reverberating through the ground.

The air seemed to shimmer as Moses walked forward, steam rising from his body. His muscles tensed, his expression dark and menacing. He no longer focused on maintaining a countering field spell; his full attention was on the Golden Cosmos fighters.

"I'm tired of this shit," he growled, his voice low and dangerous. "I'll end them myself."

Fredrin snapped out of his frustration, his focus sharpening as he fell in line behind Moses. Eratz's eyes narrowed, his body tensing as he felt the weight of Moses's presence spreading across the battlefield.

"Kaida," he said, his voice calm but firm. "Get ready."

Kaida nodded, straightening herself. Behind them, Colin and Milo exchanged a worried glance. The air grew heavy with anticipation as the final act of the match was about to begin.
