Dominion of The Beast Masters

Chapter 273: No Place For Heroes



The island became the stage for a cataclysm unlike anything the world had ever seen.

The titanic clash between the radiant and shadow dragons escalated with unrelenting ferocity, their energies tearing through the air and shaking the very foundations of the land.

Their roars reverberated across the battlefield, a deafening symphony of light and darkness colliding in an unyielding struggle for dominance.

The radiant dragon unleashed a devastating beam of golden light, its brilliance splitting the sky as it scorched a massive trench into the earth. The blast following illuminated the battlefield with blinding intensity, searing the air and leaving a glowing trail of molten stone in its wake.

The shadow dragon retaliated with a vortex of spiraling darkness releasing several black beams in the direction of the light dragon, tearing down a whole mountain and crossing the air.

The clash of their attacks ignited an explosion so immense that it flattened the surrounding forest, sending shards of rock and debris hurtling in every direction.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Each time their colossal bodies collided, the ground fractured and heaved, forming jagged canyons that carved deep into the earth.

The sky above was a chaotic maelstrom of swirling light and shadow, the opposing forces tearing apart clouds and igniting storms that lashed the island with torrential rain and howling winds.

The radiant dragon roared, summoning an array of luminous spears that rained down from the heavens, each strike creating blinding bursts of energy that rippled outward in golden

waves.

The shadow dragon countered by slamming its wings, releasing a surge of black energy that spread like a suffocating shroud, swallowing the spears in a torrent of raw darkness.

Then, both unleashed a light and dark breath, colliding in a cataclysmic display.

The impact sent out shockwaves that shattered the protective shields.

Drones capturing the event stuttered and failed, their feeds disrupted by the overwhelming pressure emanating from the dragons. Sparks of light and shadow lit up the sky as their auras raged uncontrollably, consuming everything in their path.

The island itself seemed to groan in agony, its terrain being torn apart by the ferocity of the battle, while both beasts showed no signs of relenting.

Far beyond the battlefield, the public screamed in terror, their voices drowned out by the chaos unfolding before them. People scrambled to evacuate, for many, the event was incomprehensible, a nightmare come to life.

But for the few who understood what was happening, it was far worse.

Cassie and Roger pushed through the panicked crowd, their faces pale with fear as they struggled against the tide of bodies moving in the opposite direction. They were trying to reach Victoria. Desperation fueled their movements, but when they reached the battle arena, Victoria was gone.

She was running, running as she had forgotten how to. Zara followed her, struggling to keep up, her voice pleading.

"Victoria! Slow down, I can't..."

Victoria's sharp reply cut through the chaos like a blade.

"Leave with the others! This isn't a place for you!"

Zara hesitated, torn between duty and survival, but the tone of Victoria's voice left no room for argument. She turned and began helping the panicked crowd evacuate, casting one last glance at Victoria disappearing into the chaos.

Leonidas was running too, his heart pounding not from fear but exhilaration.

"This is it," he muttered under his breath, his lips curling into a twisted smile. "One way or another, this is what I wanted."

His thoughts turned to Kallistra, the woman he despised with every fiber of his being. Yet, at this moment, he silently thanked her.

"Here we are, legendary beasts in the flesh."

Suddenly, a beam of radiant light streaked across the sky, its brilliance cutting through the darkness like a divine sword. It struck a distant hill with devastating precision, and in an instant, the hill erupted into a dazzling explosion.

The force of the blast sent a shockwave across the land, its tremor felt even in the city far from the impact site.

For a brief moment, the world seemed to hold its breath. The explosion's light faded, and silence reigned. Then, as the enormity of the attack registered, the public erupted into full- blown panic.

If the dragons' attacks could reach this far, nowhere was safe.

The evacuation descended into chaos as people screamed and ran, the terror in their eyes reflecting the incomprehensible destruction unfolding before them.

The titanic battle continued unabated, each strike from the dragons threatening to reshape the land itself.

Back amidst the chaos, Sia stood beside Mercury, her expression tense.

"What is happening?" she asked, her voice steady despite the swirling destruction around them.

Mercury's worried gaze swept the battlefield.

"I don't know," she admitted, her usual composure cracking. Her thoughts lingered on her friends, her fists clenching with frustration. "I... I need to find them." She turned to Sia. "Can you move alone?"

Before Sia could respond, a deafening roar shattered the air. Both women instinctively looked up, their words dying in their throats. The two dragons soared overhead, their colossal forms dominating the sky. Their movements were a terrifying blend of grace and destruction as they chased each other with relentless fury.

The radiant dragon released a torrent of golden light, its brilliance scorching the sky. The shadow dragon dodged, countering with a swirling blast of black energy that spiraled toward its opponent. Each clash ignited explosions that shook the ground, sending shockwaves rippling through the forest.

Sia and Mercury stood frozen, their bodies unable to move under the crushing weight of the dragons' aura. The sheer scale of the beasts and their devastating attacks made everything

else seem insignificant.

Elsewhere, scattered across the forest, everyone had a clear view of the chaos unfolding above. Fighters stood in stunned silence, their eyes locked on the dragons.

The sky seemed alive with energy, a battlefield of light and shadow as the Titans exchanged devastating blows. Trees bent and cracked under the force of their roars, and the ground

trembled with every blast.

Among their mind, a singular thought began to form: We need to leave.

Despite the obvious danger, hesitation gripped them. Each person's mind raced with the same questions: Where are my friends? Are they safe? Can I leave them behind?

And then...

A blinding flash swallowed the forest, erasing everything in its radiant glow. The intensity forced everyone to shield their eyes. For a moment, it felt as though time had stopped.

"Rex," Arin murmured in surprise, her voice barely audible over the ringing silence that

followed.

Farther away, Rex lowered his hand, his field spell dissipating. His eyes narrowed in concentration as he clenched his fist.

"Found them," he muttered. "Seven to the north, eleven from the northeast to the east, three

in the middle south, five in the south, and four to the west."

Eratz, standing beside him, gave a sharp nod.

"Alright. Take the middle and the east to the north. You're faster at locating them. I'll handle

the rest."

Rex nodded without hesitation.

"Understood."

In unison, they disappeared, their forms vanishing in flashes of light as they dashed into the chaos, each determined to save as many as possible amidst the storm of destruction.

In mere seconds, Rex covered vast areas of the forest, his field spell guiding him like an omniscient compass. Each flicker of energy led him to fighters scattered across the island. With precision and unmatched speed, he located them one by one, pulling them to safety. His movements were a blur, a streak of light amidst the chaos, as he carried the wounded and disoriented to more secure locations.

Meanwhile, Eratz soared through the sky with lightning speed, his aura crackling as he trailed threads of energy from four calamity-ranked beasts on his side. Gritting his teeth, he accelerated, determined to reach them before the dragons' breaths.

Far below, Mercury and Sia sprinted through the forest. The ground trembled beneath them,

and the cacophony of battle above made every step feel heavier. Sia, wide-eyed and

breathless, shouted.

"What are those things?!"

Mercury glanced upward, her expression grim.

"If I'm not wrong," she began, her voice taut with urgency, "this isn't something we can take

on! We need to find our..."

Before she could finish, a blinding flash consumed them again, forcing them to shield their

eyes.

When Mercury reopened her eyes, she was no longer on the ground. The wind rushed past her, and a familiar sensation of power enveloped her. She realized she was on Raijinara's back. Her gaze darted to her side, spotting Sia, wide-eyed and clutching onto Raijinara's mane. Turning, she looked back and froze. Eratz was there, standing steady and in one piece. "Eratz!" Mercury called out, her voice tinged with both joy and disbelief. She barely hesitated

before rushing to him, wrapping her arms around him tightly.

Eratz exhaled deeply, his lips curling into a brief smile.

"Good, you're safe."

As the two hugged, Sia's gaze lingered on them. Her expression shifted, the realization

dawning on her like a lightning strike. She glanced at Raijinara, then back at the pair, piecing

it together. Her thoughts crystallized in a single, silent conclusion: He's the guy.

She was in deep shock, the man who defeated her a year ago, with the woman who defeated

her this year. It was unbelievable, but somehow, she found it understandable. She glanced away, murmuring to them.

"Now isn't the time for this."

Mercury flinched at Sia's words and quickly agreed. Releasing Eratz, she turned to him.

"What's going on?"

Eratz's expression hardened as he spoke.

"The black and white orbs. I don't know how, or why, but we unleashed the legendaries here.

For now, I'm tracking the threads of energy to locate everyone. There are still two more

threads left."

He directed Raijinara to adjust course, his focus sharpening as they sped toward the

remaining targets.

Meanwhile, Rex had already found and relocated many people to the forest's entrance.

Among them were Ryder, Kaida, Milo, Raya, and Arin. The group, though shaken, seemed

relieved to be in a safer spot for the moment.

Rex prepared to leave again, but Arin grabbed his arm, her grip firm.

"Rex," she said urgently, "what's happening?"

He hesitated, his gaze darting between her and the distant chaos.

"I'm not sure," he admitted. "Eratz said something about the white orb."

Kaida and Ryder's jaws dropped simultaneously. They exchanged wide-eyed looks, realizing

instantly what was happening.

Milo stepped forward, his voice trembling with urgency.

"Where are the others? We need to find them quickly!"

Rex raised a hand, his tone steady but firm.

"Calm down. Eratz is taking care of them. I have to go too; there are still people in my area."

Before anyone could ask more, he disappeared in a flash of light, leaving the group

momentarily speechless.

Arin murmured softly.

"Rex..."

High above the forest, Rex soared with incredible speed, reaching a rocky peak that offered a

vantage point over the island. He paused, his breath catching as he took in the sight above. The dragons clashed in the sky, their overwhelming power tearing through the heavens. Light

and shadow collided in bursts of catastrophic energy, the spectacle was both magnificent and

sinister.

For a moment, he was frozen.

"What can we even do against that?" he whispered to himself. But then he shook his head, dispelling the creeping doubt. "Now's not the time," he muttered.

He inhaled deeply, his focus sharpening as he activated his field spell again. A flash swallowed

everything, giving the location of his remaining targets. But then he flinched and promptly

turned around.

"Can't you take a break for a second? You're really hard to catch, you know that?"

Standing behind him was Kallistra, her wide smile unnervingly calm.
