Chapter 94 – Will of Lightning
What happened?
Calron inwardly thought as he gazed down at the eight-foot goblin staring back at him. The beast’s face was pale with shock.
Glancing down at his body, Calron sensed that his body was vastly different from before. Spreading his wings wide, he noticed that even his scaly feathers were much thicker and sharper than before.
Nice going, kid. You had me worried there for a second.
Ezkael stated within Calron’s mind.
Teacher, what happened to my body?
You just went through a shape-shift.
Ezkael replied evenly.
Didn’t I already shape-shift when I first transformed into the golden bird?
Calron inquired, as he familiarized himself with this new body.
Yes, and no. You did shape-shift the first time. However, it was not your complete form. Your bloodline is that of a primordial beast! How could you think a beast of that stature would only stand at a puny six feet tall? The stronger you grow in the future, the more of your bloodline’s power you will be able to use.
Ezkael calmly explained to his student.
However, it IS strange that you underwent a shape-shift right now, as your cultivation has not increased since last time… anyways, you better focus on your match. You’ve already roused suspicion and I’m sure there will be several people trying to stop you from leaving.
Ezkael conveyed in a serious tone.
Understood. Keep an eye on Avi, Teacher, and I will fly over the Arena once the battle is over.
Calron firmly stated, as he turned to sharply glare at the green beast in front of him.
“I still haven’t paid you back for what you did.”
Calron coldly whispered, and then immediately charged straight at the monster.
*SCREEEE*
An ear-splitting cry resounded in the pouring rain, as a colossal golden bird whizzed through the air towards its enemy. The sound of thunder reverberated out in the dark cloudy sky, while bolts of lightning continued to strike the ground.
Under the onslaught of this lightning and rain, many beasts within the audience had long since retreated back to the outer corner of the Arena to watch from afar, yet none left the vicinity.
The two hovering badges in the air were a clear sign that the battle was still ongoing. Besides, who would want to miss out on a fight that seemed to defy all their expectations?
Seeing the much larger golden bird abruptly charge towards it, the monster crouched low to the ground and prepared to strike back. Initially, the physical change in its opponent bewildered the goblin, but upon sensing that Calron’s cultivation remained at the same rank, a bit of confidence seeped back into its mind.
“GRAAAHHH!”
Roaring into the dark sky above, the monster raised both its fists into air and slammed them against the ground, creating a titanic crater on the stage.
BOOOOM!
Head-butting the beast right in the chest, Calron instantly clutched the goblin’s thighs with his claws and began tightly squeezing.
The monster let out a gut-wrenching scream when Calron struck it in its previously injured chest, and swiftly grabbed the bird’s neck with its calloused palms.
*SCREEEEE*
Screeching into the green beast’s right ear, Calron viciously pecked into its shoulder, eliciting another roar of pain.
In fit of rage, the goblin momentarily escaped Calron’s clutches and raised its knee to strike the bird’s scaly abdomen.
BOOOOM!
Calron stopped himself from crying out, but a thin line of blood oozed out from the corner of his beak.
Dammit, I still can’t beat him!
Calron cursed within his mind when it hit him that his cultivation was still too low to contend against a genuine fifth rank Vajra expert. His body might have grown larger and slightly stronger, but it was nowhere close to the raw strength of his opponent.
“I will take you down.”
Calron icily whispered, as bursts of lightning crackled within his azure eyes and spread across his entire body.
Detecting the incoming attack from the lightning beast, the giant goblin gazed up into Calron’s eyes and bellowed a mighty roar, as gusts of wind spiraled behind it.
*CRACKLE*
