Chapter 14 Advancing To The Final Stage
Orion decided to ignore the glowing fur from Nova. Soon his Nova's fur stopped glowing, and it was back to normal. Orion would like to check it, but he was still in the tournament.
Orion and Nova advanced to the next round of the competition. The audience was in awe of the powerful duo, and many were cheering on them.
In the fourth battle, Orion and Nova were up against a pair of Iron Boars. These were tough opponents known for their thick iron hide and powerful charging attacks. Orion knew he needed to be strategic in this battle and make use of Nova's agility and strength.
The battle began with the Iron Boars charging toward Nova, but the Primordial Wolf was too fast for them. He dodged their attacks and circled around them, biting and clawing at their legs. Orion was impressed with Nova's quick movements and precise attacks.
The Iron Boars tried to corner Nova, but he was always one step ahead. He jumped over their heads and attacked them from behind, leaving deep claw marks on their iron hides. The audience was cheering for Orion and Nova, amazed by their incredible performance.
Despite their iron hides, the Iron Boars were no match for the power and agility of Nova. With each attack, Nova weakened them, and soon they were unable to stand up. Orion knew that this was his chance to finish the battle.
"Nova, finish them off with your howl!" Orion commanded.
Nova let out a powerful howl that shook the entire arena. The Iron Boars tried to resist, but they were already too weakened to fight back. The howl was so powerful that it shattered the iron hide on their bodies, leaving them vulnerable.
With one final attack, Nova finished off the Iron Boars, sending them crashing to the ground. The audience was stunned by the incredible display of strength and power. Orion and Nova had once again emerged victorious.
Orion couldn't help but feel a bit weird about Nova's sudden increase in strength. He had never seen his beast this fierce before, and he wondered what could have caused this change. Nevertheless, he was grateful for Nova's strength and knew that it would be a great asset in the upcoming battles.
Orion and Nova advanced to the next round of the competition, and this time they were up against two powerful opponents: the Frost Lion and the Gale Lion. These two beasts were known for their incredible speed and their ability to control the elements of ice and wind, respectively.
The audience was on the edge of their seats as the battle began. The Frost Lion and the Gale Lion circled around Nova, preparing to attack. But Nova was not afraid. He stood his ground, his fur bristling with excitement.
The Frost Lion lunged at Nova, its claws glittering with frost. But Nova was too quick. He dodged the attack and countered with a powerful swipe of his paw, leaving a deep gash in the Frost Lion's side. The Gale Lion tried to catch Nova off guard with a gust of wind, but Nova was too agile. He leaped into the air and came down with all his weight on the Gale Lion's back, sending it crashing to the ground.
The audience was stunned by Nova's incredible speed and strength. They had never seen a beast move so quickly or attack so fiercely. The academies' representatives were equally impressed, taking note of Nova's incredible power and agility.
The Frost Lion and the Gale Lion tried to regroup, but Nova was relentless. He darted in and out of their attacks, his jaws snapping at their necks and legs. The Frost Lion managed to land a blow, freezing Nova's paw with its icy breath. But Nova didn't let it slow him down. He simply switched to his other paw and continued the fight.
The Gale Lion was getting frustrated, and it began to call upon the power of the wind. A tornado formed around it, sending debris flying in all directions. But Nova was undeterred. He charged into the tornado, his powerful body cutting through the winds like a knife. He reached the Gale Lion and sank his teeth into its neck, bringing it down with a fierce growl.
The audience erupted into cheers and applause as Nova stood triumphantly over his fallen opponents. Orion could feel the excitement coursing through him, knowing that Nova had just defeated two beasts that had dominated the competition. He couldn't wait to see what lay ahead.
After this win, Orion finally advanced into the final stage. He was among 32 finalists that would compete in the final stage of the competition. He felt something amazing and excited that he could go this far.
He looked at Nova, that was in his beast space. He could feel that Nova's power was growing stronger and stronger. He had also realized that the glow in his fur meant that Nova was getting stronger and wanted to evolve.
As the tournament entered its final stage, the representatives from various academies had become even more serious about recruiting Orion to their respective schools. Orion had proven himself to be a strong beast tamer, and many believed that he had the potential to become one of the greatest beast tamers in the land.
The representatives had been watching Orion's performances closely and had been impressed by his skills, but they knew that convincing him to join their academy would not be an easy task. Orion would receive a lot of offers from other academies.
The representatives had begun to call their academies and prepare offers for Nova. They knew that Nova was an important part of Orion's success and that recruiting him would increase their chances of getting Orion to join their academy.
Each academy had its own approach to recruiting Orion and Nova. Some sent out emissaries to approach them directly, while others sent letters and invitations. But all of them were hoping to convince Orion and Nova to join their academy after the tournament was over.
One representative from the prestigious Sable Academy, a well-known institution that specialized in training and nurturing top-tier beast tamers, met with the academy's board members to discuss the possibility of recruiting Orion.
"Orion is a rare talent, one that we cannot afford to let slip away," the representative said, his voice firm and determined. "He has already caught the eye of many other academies, and I believe that we should move quickly if we want to secure his place with us."
The board members nodded in agreement, recognizing the importance of bringing Orion under their wing. They, too, understood that he was a rare talent, one that could potentially bring great honor and success to their institution.
Another representative, this one from the powerful Skywing Academy, a renowned academy for those who specialized in taming and training birds of prey, also began to strategize their approach. They knew that Orion had shown great skill in handling wolves, but they believed that they could show him the potential of training and taming birds.
"We need to show Orion that the sky is the limit," the representative said, a confident smile on his face. "He may have mastered wolves, but with us, he could become a true master of the skies."
The representatives from the different academies continued to discuss their plans, all with the same goal in mind: to recruit Orion and make him a part of their institution. They knew that he was a rare talent, and they were willing to go to great lengths to secure his future with them.
As the final stage approached, the representatives decided to hold off on approaching Orion directly. They knew that he was focused on the tournament, and they didn't want to distract him from his goal. They would wait until the tournament was over to make their move.
And so, the representatives watched with bated breath as Orion and Nova entered the final stage of the tournament, wondering which academy would have the honor of recruiting such a talented young man.
Orion didn't know that he had become the target of many academies. This was what Mrs. Claire said to him. He needed to join an academy that would protect and nurture him.
The day was over, and Orion went back to his accommodation that had been prepared by the committee. He also wanted to check the change on Nova.
This day, Nova had been weird. Nova had become stronger after the first stage. Nova had become unstoppable in the second stage of the tournament. Orion also noticed that Nova's fur would also glow sometimes.
Orion opened his beast and led Nova out from it. Orion was shocked when he saw Nova. Nova was bigger than before. Nova's size was about 1 meter and a half, but later, Nova was around 1,8 meters now. He didn't know what had happened, but he knew that Nova was becoming stronger.
Orion could also feel from his bond that Nova was now growing. Nova was digesting all the energy he got from the battle. It seemed that Orion's Primordial Mastery had given more energy to Nova from battling and made Nova become stronger.
Orion understood his talent a bit more. His talent could make his beast become stronger in battle. Primordial Beasts in the past were stronger because all their lives were filled with danger, so they fought and fought and became stronger.
Orion was happy that Nova was becoming stronger but he could feel that Nova could not go to the battle tomorrow because Nova was busy digesting all this energy. It seemed that Orion needed to use Stella for the final stage.
