Dominion of The Beast Masters

Chapter 228: Red Zone



The battlefield was silent, save for the crackling flames of Eratz's fire field spell. Arvad lay beneath him, his head pinned under Eratz's foot, the flames dancing ominously around them.

The crowd, and even the remaining World Star fighters, stood stunned, their breath stolen by the devastating display of power.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Eratz's gaze dropped to Arvad, his expression surprisingly calm. A faint smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.

"Sorry, brother," he said, his voice low. "But you looked easier to get."

He pressed down slightly, emphasizing his dominance, before lifting his head to look forward.

His glowing yellow eyes fixed on the remaining three World Star members, their stunned expressions revealing their disbelief.

Fredrin's jaw tightened, his fists clenching. Morgiana's narrowed eyes flickered with uncertainty, her usually measured composure shaken.

Moses, however, was the first to move. His teeth ground audibly as his hands balled into fists.

"This motherfucker," he growled, his voice dripping with venom.

With a forceful stomp, the ground trembled, cracks spiderwebbing outward.

A surge of energy rippled through the arena as a water field spell erupted, its waves spreading rapidly and swallowing the remnants of the fire field spell.

The crackling flames were snuffed out, replaced by the rushing sound of cascading water.

Fredrin and Morgiana sprang into action. Their beastifications activated mid-air, their forms twisting and shifting.

Fredrin's body became encased in a crustacean-like armor, sharp spikes jutting from his limbs, his claws gleaming with an iridescent sheen.

Morgiana transformed into a reptilian beast, her jagged limbs rippling with grace, a tail emerged, snapping like a whip behind her.

Kaida, positioned in front of Colin and Milo, felt the water rush past through them.

She extended her hands, attempting to counter the encroaching field spell with her own, but the overwhelming force of the water consumed her efforts, reducing her efforts to a minuscule ball of fire covering them.

It looked like a pathetic attempt, but she had seen further beyond anyone there.

"Milo! Colin! Heal!" she screamed, her voice sharp and desperate.

On the World Star bench, Tamara's eyes widened instantly.

"You idiots! Not water!"

But her warning came too late.

Fredrin and Morgiana closed the distance in an instant, their beastified forms bearing down on Eratz, their claws glinting in the light.

They were centimeters away from his smiling face when his body shimmered, and turned yellow.

"Bad move."

A deafening crack split the air.

The entire battlefield was consumed by a yellow dome of lightning, the sparks cascading outward in violent arcs.

The crowd gasped as the arena was illuminated, the electric charge reaching every corner. The dome pulsed with energy, its surface crackling and sparking like a living entity.

Fredrin and Morgiana's momentum was halted mid-air, their bodies convulsing as the lightning coursed through them.

Their teeth clenched tightly, their eyes wide with pain as the searing energy consumed them.

Moses, still rooted to the ground, was struck by a massive bolt, his body stiffening as his eyes turned white from the surge.

Even Kaida wasn't spared. The edges of the dome reached her, and though she managed to form a faint protective barrier around herself and the kids, the strain was evident.

Her knees buckled slightly, her breath hitching as the electricity cracked against her barrier and coursed her body.

"Fir," she gasped, her voice trembling. "F... FIRE!!!"

Colin flinched. Without hesitation, she raised her hands, her healing fire spreading on Kaida.

The warm, golden flames licked at Kaida's body, easing her pain, and worked as a support to help strengthening the minuscule field spell.

Milo, his face pale and his hands shaking, summoned a healing mist that enveloped all three of them.

The cool, soothing vapor mingled with Colin's flames, creating a strange but effective blend of protection and recovery.

The battlefield roared with the chaotic symphony of lightning and the situation kept worsening as Raijinara materialized above Eratz, its screech splitting the air like thunder.

A web of electricity crackled outward, painting the arena in stark yellow light. Sparks danced wildly as Eratz conjured two orbs of lightning in his hands, the energy pulsing, ready to attack harder.

But then, he flinched.

A devastating knee struck him squarely in the face, another knee crashed into his neck.

Fredrin and Morgiana had struck simultaneously, pinning Eratz's head between their jagged knees.

The public gasped, many shielding their eyes from the brutal sight.

"Eratz!" Mercury's voice cut through the tension as she stood abruptly.

Victoria briefly stopped breathing.

Fredrin and Morgiana, their bodies now coursing with electric energy from another beastification making them immune, launched into a merciless flurry of blows.

Eratz was battered across the battlefield, each strike more savage than the last.

The crowd winced as Morgiana soared high and plummeted down, her knee aimed at Eratz's

head to finish him off.

But she passed through his body.

Her knee smashed into the earth, splintering the ground. Eratz had turned into a shadow, with the Thunder lycaon's passive.

Morgiana barely had time to recover before she was met with a devastating one-two combo: Eratz's foot smashing into one side of her head, and Cinderblaze's fiery paw striking the

other.

Another shockwave rippled the arena.

Blood dripped from Eratz's nose, but his eyes gleamed with fury. Behind him, Kaida's aura

surged in panic.

She spread her arms to shield Colin and Milo, pushing her body to use the beastification further. Dragon wings spread on her back.

Her field spell reignited, flames licking hungrily at the edges of the battlefield. But Moses's sharp gaze caught her movement.

He slammed his fist into the ground, sending a shockwave across the arena.

Kaida leaped back, pulling Colin and Milo with her. A massive worm-like beast erupted from the earth, its serpentine body coiling menacingly above them before it descended with

terrifying speed.

Kaida braced herself, teeth clenched, but just as the worm's head neared, a seismic impact shook the arena. The worm's head slammed into the ground, lifeless.

Eratz stood in front of Kaida, his fist still pressed against the beast's skull, cracks spider- webbing outward from the point of impact. He turned to Kaida, his expression resolute.

Kaida blinked in surprise before nodding. She inhaled deeply and unleashed a torrent of fire breath onto Eratz.

The flames engulfed him, merging with the remnants of her field spell, turning him into a

living inferno.

Eratz's eyes gleamed like molten gold as his aura erupted. With Rockbound Fury, Sun, and Raijinara's beastification active, his body became a zigzagging bolt of destructive lightning. Fredrin shouted for defensive beastifications, but Morgiana growled in frustration. "What element can stop him now?!" she snapped, dodging a searing streak of lightning that

tore through the air.

Eratz moved faster than ever, his strikes landing with surgical precision. Fredrin and Morgiana struggled to keep up, their movements growing increasingly frantic.

Morgiana snarled, her jagged limbs trembling with energy.

"Enough! Let's just end this match!"

Her thighs doubled in size, and with a deafening crack, she burst forward in a flash, aiming

directly for Kaida and the kids.

Gasps rippled through the audience as the monstrous form closed the distance in an instant.

Kaida spread her wings wide, shielding Colin and Milo with her body, prepared to take the full brunt of the attack, and then, Eratz descended from above, his fist slamming into Morgiana's

head.

A thunderous impact reverberated across the arena.

The shockwave from the impact rippled outward, shattering the ground and distorting the air.

Dust and debris exploded into the sky, and the sheer force sent Kaida tumbling backward, but she remained unscathed within the protective glow of the Aetheri's shield materializing.

As the dust settled, Eratz stood, his fist pinned on Morgiana's head, the woman laying in the rubble, her body battered but still conscious.

She struggled to rise, her limbs trembling from the devastating blow. Fredrin and Moses stared, their wide eyes betraying their disbelief.

Even Kaida, still catching her breath, couldn't hide her astonishment.

Eratz slowly pulled his fist from the ground, his expression unreadable as he stared at Kaida.

Kaida caught the situation and shouted.

"Heal!" snapping Milo out of his daze and prompting him to cast a healing mist over her and

Colin.

Kaida's aura flared as she unleashed another violent wave of her fire field spell. Flames surged across the battlefield, forcing Fredrin and Moses to shield themselves.

But the fire didn't last long, converging once more onto Eratz's body, gathering into his

clenched fist rising above Morgiana.

Fredrin lunged to save her, his instincts taking over, but Moses shouted after him.

"It's a trap!"

Fredrin reached them as Eratz's fist descended with unrelenting force, too high to reach Morgiana, but on the perfect area to touch Fredrin, but the man wasn't a novice.

Fredrin's sharp eyes tracked Eratz's movements, and in a flash, he realized the attack wasn't

meant for Morgiana.

He leapt back just as Eratz pivoted mid-motion, redirecting his punch toward him with

lightning speed.

The ground where Fredrin had stood exploded in a shower of debris, but the warrior had evaded, while the momentum of the maneuver caused Eratz's entire body to spin, Morgiana, unaware of Fredrin's quick maneuvering, saw the opening Eratz's feint had

created. Gathering all her forces, she surged upward, her jagged limbs poised to strike him from below.

But before she could land her blow, Kaida's instincts took over.

Seeing the danger, she reacted without thinking. She twisted her body, her right leg swinging

upward with desperate force.

Her foot struck Morgiana under the chin, propelling her upward and directly into the path of

Eratz's swirling punch.

The jagged energy from his attack collided with her head, the impact so intense that a

deafening shockwave rippled outward, taking both Morgiana's head, and Kaida's foot.

The instant the light exploded around them, Kaida screamed in pain, the bright, fiery energy swallowing them in a blinding flash that illuminated the entire arena.

The arena quaked as the shockwave rippled outward, sending tremors through the earth and

distorting the air.

Dust and debris swirled in the wake of the impact, masking the center of the destruction in a

veil of smoke and firelight.

The crowd erupted into a cacophony of gasps, shouts, and frantic murmurs. People in the

stands covered their mouths in disbelief, their eyes fixed on the battlefield. When the smoke subdued, the scene left everyone speechless.

Colin held her hands trembling as she summoned her fire healing. The golden flames spread

over Kaida's injured leg, while Milo knelt beside her, his hands glowing with a soft, greenish

mist that enveloped Kaida's body.

Next to them, Eratz stood like a guard, his eyes scanning her condition.
