Talent Awakening: Draconic Overlord Of The Apocalypse

Chapter 169: Dust Rising Calamity



Marcus and Elena resumed their positions on the hovering platform as the camera drones hovered around, capturing every moment. The live chat was on fire, the excitement reaching it's max as the final battles began.

Marcus adjusted his earpiece and smiled at the camera.

"Welcome back, folks! As the Wasteland Display Event approaches its thrilling conclusion, we have a treat for you. What better way to enjoy the final moments than to watch the top team in action?"

Elena nodded enthusiastically. "That's right, Marcus! The White Comets have proven time and again why they are a force to be reckoned with. Their coordination, skill, and sheer resolve have been nothing short of inspirational."

The drone camera panned over the battlefield, focusing on Alister and his dragons as they prepared for the final push. The screen switched to the body cams of Ren and the others to view the dragons from below, capturing the awe of the viewers, watching as they then split up.

"And so, let's join them on this final leg of their journey," Marcus said, his voice filled with excitement. "Stay with us, everyone. This is the moment we've all been waiting for!"

Elena then said, "Again, this is Marcus and Elena, your hosts for the Wasteland Display Event. Let's witness history in the making!"

...

Ren and his team charged through the final sector, ready to showcase their skills one last time. Ren's flames raged around him as he prepared to lead the charge.

"Goro, clear a path with your axe!" Ren commanded, his voice cutting through the chaos. Goro nodded, hefting his massive battle axe. He advanced towards a Stone Wyrm that was slithering towards them, its thick, armored hide glinting in the sunlight.

Goro planted his feet firmly, bracing himself. With a powerful, vertical swing, he brought the axe down onto the Wyrm's back.

The impact shattered the creature's thick scales, sending a shower of debris and causing the Wyrm to thrash around in pain. The blow broke several of its ribs, and blood sprayed from the deep wound.

"Nice job, Goro!" Ren called out, his eyes looking around the battlefield.

....

Marcus's voice came through the broadcast. "No matter how many times I see it, I can't help but be left in awe when I witness the sheer power behind Goro's axe swing. It's simply incredible! You can see the Stone Wyrm's scales shattering under that immense force. Truly an enviable display of raw strength!"

"Razorgrin, take care of the Giga Scorpion coming from the right!" Ren commanded. "On it!"

Razorgrin charged, swinging his massive Warhammer into action. He spotted the Giga Scorpion as it charged towards them with its pincers snapping. Razorgrin's muscles tensed as The prepared to strike.

With a powerful horizontal swing, he aimed for the Scorpion's side. The Warhammer crashed into the Scorpion's carapace, splintering it and causing blood to seep from the cracks. The Scorpion's screech echoed through the wasteland as it staggered back.

Snapping it's pincers at him, but he instantly delt with them with major swings of his hammer.

....

"And look at Razorgrin's overwhelming power, he's not even giving the monster a chance to fight back!" Elena's commentary followed, "Despite not letting up for days, the White Comets are still giving it their absolute best! That Warhammer strike hit the Scorpion right where it would do the most damage, following up by destroying its pincers Futher ensured it wouldn't be able to fight back!"

...

Razorgrin then dodged an attack from it's stinger, rolling to the side and then landing a finishing smash.

"Keep the pressure on!" Ren shouted, adjusting his stance. "Hiroshi, use your wind to deal those Bladed Vipers!"

"Aye, Captain!"

Hiroshi darted forward, his twin daggers flashing in the sunlight.

The Bladed Vipers were closing in with their venomous fangs bared as they hissed. Hiroshi moved with incredible speed, enhanced by his wind manipulation.

He spun in a rapid circle, his daggers slicing through the Vipers' bodies. His wind-based movements allowed him to evade their strikes effortlessly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Vipers fell to the ground, their bodies sliced open and bleeding.

"Talk about a miniature tornado of death! Hiroshi's agility is unmatched! You can see how he uses the wind to enhance his speed and precision."

"Slicing through those Bladed Vipers like they were fruits placed into the blending machine. They didn't stand a chance."

....

"I've got them dealt with, Ren!" Hiroshi called out, a grin on his face. "What's next?"

"Kaida, watch our backs and deal with any stragglers!" Ren instructed. "Those Direwolves are coming up behind us!"

"On it!"

Kaida swiftly moved into position, her sword ready. She faced a charging Mutant Direwolf with a confident smile.

As the Direwolf lunged, Kaida executed a diagonal slash, her blade cutting through the creature's neck as she sidestepped a swing from its claws.

Blood sprayed from the wound, and the Direwolf collapsed, its movements ceasing as it died. She didn't pause; another leaped forward intending to pin her down.

She crouched low, stepping forward slightly, using her sword to cut through its abdomen, causing it to tear open and blood to spray out, painting her tech armor crimzon.

She sidestepped a couple of other wolves like that, kicking up dust as she did, finally plunging her sword into the heart of the last wolf.

...

"The finesse of Kaida's swordplay still amazes me," Elena commented. "It's breathtaking to see a healer who can fight this well."

"Although she isn't using as much power or force as the others, she finds a way to minimize movements and aims for vital parts of her enemies so she can end a battle instantly. Instead of getting pulled into a clash of strength where she would obviously have a disadvantage, she always aims to end an opponent within three strikes!"

"To be able to find and exploit such openings is a skill one can say is only possible for the best

of the best!"

"True," Marcus agreed. "But there has been a rumor going around lately that she might be using prosthetic limbs, hence why a healer like her is able to keep up with the others." "You may have a point, but like you said, it's just a rumor," Elena said. "Even if it was true, such a display of skill is not something gaining prosthetic limbs can make possible without already posessing the necessary skill."

"So she is still an amazing and skilled fighter nonetheless."

...

"Direwolves down!" Kaida reported.

"Great work, everyone!" Ren shouted, flames erupting from his palms as he prepared for the

next wave. "Stay focused, we're almost done!"

Grhhhhh

An intense roar echoed from a distance, coming from one of Alister's dragons as they cleared

their side of the sector.

...

Marcus's voice rang out, "Listen to that roar! It's clear that Alister's dragons are making an impact on the battlefield. Just a few more minutes with Ren and his team, then we'll switch right over to Alister's body cam feed! I'm sure we're all dying to witness three mythical

monsters in action."

...

Ren's flames burst through the air, scorching a Sand Behemoth that was attempting to flank them. He moved into position, directing the fire to engulf the beast's side. The Behemoth roared as its hide sizzled and burned, its movements becoming erratic from the pain. Ren finally stopped as the monster ceased its movements, adjusting his glasses and taking a moment to look at it before moving forward to face the next monster.

Just then he spotted group of orcs holding stone clubs, charging towards them in the distance, the stomping of their massive feet causing dust to billow around them.
