Chapter 340 Drake's Final Straw
Drake's eyes widened in disbelief as he struggled to comprehend the reality unfolding before him.
The realization that he was losing to a seemingly inexperienced youth like Orion was a bitter pill to swallow.
A mixture of frustration and anger coursed through Drake's veins, fueling his determination to turn the tide of the battle.
He gritted his teeth, his pride wounded by the mockery and the apparent ease with which Orion had countered his attacks.
"You insolent child!" Drake roared, his voice filled with a toxic blend of rage and incredulity.
"How is it possible that I, a seasoned warrior with years of experience, am being bested by a mere kid like you?"
Orion's lips curled into a mocking smile, his eyes sparkling with a mischievous glint.
"Age and experience do not guarantee victory, Drake. Perhaps it is time for you to accept that your arrogance has blinded you to the true potential of your opponent."
Drake's face contorted with fury, his pride unable to bear the weight of the truth in Orion's words.
He lunged forward, unleashing a barrage of fiery attacks, each strike fueled by desperation and a burning desire to regain his lost superiority.
Orion, ever the embodiment of composure, effortlessly dodged and parried Drake's assaults.
With each evasive maneuver, he added insult to injury, taunting Drake with his flawless agility.
"Is that the best you can do, Drake?" Orion's voice dripped with mockery.
"I must say, I expected more from a warrior of your caliber. But it seems your reputation precedes you, and the reality falls disappointingly short."
Drake seethed with a mix of fury and humiliation. How could this upstart challenger belittle him with such ease?
His mind raced for a solution, a way to regain the upper hand and salvage what remained of his wounded pride.
Summoning every ounce of his power, Drake conjured a massive fireball, its flames dancing with unparalleled intensity.
The inferno radiated an aura of destruction, promising to consume anything in its path.
"Behold the true might of a King Realm!" Drake's voice reverberated through the battlefield, a proclamation of his undying resolve.
"Prepare to witness the annihilation of your pitiful existence!"
Orion's laughter echoed through the air, a mirthful melody that pierced through Drake's mounting fury.
"Oh, Drake, your grandiose declarations only serve to highlight your desperation. Do you truly believe that your mighty fireball is enough to vanquish me? How quaint."
Drake's eyes burned with a mixture of rage and determination. With a flick of his wrist, he launched the blazing fireball toward Orion, its trajectory aimed with lethal precision.
Orion's crystal-blue eyes glimmered with a playful challenge as he called upon his crystalline powers.
Forming a shield of shimmering crystal before him, he watched with amusement as the fiery projectile collided with the impenetrable barrier.
The explosion of flames illuminated the desert landscape, but Orion stood unscathed behind his crystalline shield, a smirk dancing upon his lips.
"Is that all you have, Drake? I must admit, I expected more than a mere fireball," Orion jibed, his voice dripping with condescension.
"Your grand gestures and empty threats are nothing but smoke and mirrors. It seems you have mistaken bravado for true strength."
Drake's face contorted with a mix of fury and frustration. The mocking laughter of his opponent rang in his ears, intensifying his desire to turn the tables and prove his worth.
But with each failed attempt and each biting remark from Orion, the weight of his shortcomings grew heavier.
Drake's pride swelled within him, unwilling to accept defeat. His eyes darted around, desperately seeking a solution that would tip the scales in his favor.
And then, in a moment of desperation, a realization struck him. He had one last resort, one final card to play—a power so immense and forbidden that he had never before dared to unleash it.
With a heavy sigh, Drake's voice reverberated across the battlefield, tinged with resignation and a hint of grim determination. "To think that I had to resort to using this skill only to defeat you," he muttered, his words carrying a weight of regret.
Drake's hands trembled as he raised them to the sky, a surge of energy flowing through his veins. He closed his eyes, focusing his thoughts and channeling the depths of his power.
In an instant, he called back his Blazing Flame Dragon, the creature he had dismissed earlier. As if sensing its master's call, the majestic dragon returned, its fiery form pulsating with renewed vigor.
A brilliant light emanated from the dragon, intensifying with each passing second. The once-mighty beast transformed into a radiant sphere of pure energy, suspended in mid-air.
The sphere hummed with an otherworldly power, crackling with untapped potential. It glowed with a pulsating intensity, as if harboring a hidden secret within its core.
With a burst of light, the sphere shot toward Drake, seamlessly merging with his body. A surge of energy coursed through his veins, causing his form to tremble and distort.
Drake's body underwent a remarkable transformation, his once-mortal vessel transcending its limitations. He grew taller, his physique bulging with newfound strength and vitality.
His eyes, once filled with anger and frustration, now burned with an otherworldly flame. The very air around him crackled with raw power, as if the essence of the King Realm cultivator had merged with his being.
Orion's amusement turned into curiosity as he witnessed the transformation. He observed Drake's newfound power with a mixture of caution and intrigue.
The air crackled with energy as Drake's body underwent a profound transformation, his physical form mirroring the characteristics of the Blazing Flame Dragon.
Drake's once-human features contorted and morphed, resembling the sharp, fiery contours of the dragon.
Scales emerged across his body, shimmering with an intense heat that radiated an aura of unparalleled power.
His limbs elongated, becoming muscular and sinewy, capable of delivering devastating blows.
Wings sprouted from his back, majestic and adorned with fiery patterns that danced in the air.
Orion's analytical mind raced as he assessed the implications of Drake's newfound form.
He realized that this was no ordinary transformation—it was a fusion of human and beast, a symbiosis of strength and power rarely witnessed.
Drake's voice echoed, distorted yet resonant, now bearing an unmistakable hint of the Blazing Flame Dragon's presence.
"Witness the embodiment of true power, Orion. Behold the convergence of a mortal's ambition and a dragon's might."
Orion, undeterred by the display before him, maintained his composure. His eyes flickered with determination as he acknowledged the gravity of the situation.
