Chapter 73: The Berserk Devourer
555 Words
Dark thunder rolled across the sky.
The clouds above the battlefield twisted into a violent storm as Dravoryx’s roar echoed through the mountains.
His enormous body trembled with uncontrollable power.
The cracks covering his scales burned with dark fire.
Smoke poured from his wounds.
But instead of weakening him…
The energy around him only grew stronger.
Aria’s silver eyes widened.
“He’s not dying…”
Darius frowned as he studied the monster.
“No,” he said slowly.
“He’s losing control.”
Dravoryx threw his head back and roared again.
The sound shook the entire valley.
Dark energy erupted from his body like a raging volcano.
BOOOOM!
A violent wave of shadow blasted across the battlefield.
Several warriors were knocked to the ground.
Even Kael was forced to dig his claws into the earth to keep from sliding backward.
Aria raised a barrier of moonlight just in time to block the energy.
“What is happening to him?” she asked.
Darius’s voice turned serious.
“He’s burning his own life force.”
Kael’s golden eyes narrowed.
“So he’s going berserk.”
The Devourer slowly lifted his head.
But his glowing red eyes now looked different.
Wild.
Unstable.
Completely filled with madness.
“You… dared… wound me…” he growled.
His voice sounded deeper, almost monstrous.
Dark flames erupted from his wings.
His claws slammed into the ground, creating deep cracks in the earth.
“I will destroy everything!”
Dravoryx suddenly charged forward with terrifying speed.
The ground exploded beneath his massive weight.
Kael stepped in front of Aria immediately.
“I’ll stop him!”
He shifted again.
But this time something unusual happened.
His wolf form began to change.
The black fur covering his body shimmered under the moonlight.
Silver streaks slowly appeared across his coat.
His golden eyes began glowing brighter.
Aria stared in shock.
“Kael…?”
Darius raised an eyebrow.
“Well now…”
Kael roared loudly.
The sound was deeper and more powerful than before.
The Alpha King’s aura exploded outward.
BOOOOM!
Dravoryx’s claw slammed into him.
But this time—
Kael didn’t move.
Not even an inch.
The Devourer’s eyes widened.
“How…?”
Kael lifted his massive wolf head slowly.
His glowing eyes burned with fierce power.
“You’re not the only one who can evolve.”
With one powerful swipe—
Kael’s claws slashed across Dravoryx’s chest.
CRASH!
The impact forced the giant monster backward for the first time.
The battlefield gasped.
Commander Roran shouted, “The Alpha King is transforming!”
Aria felt hope rising inside her chest.
Kael’s power was growing.
But Dravoryx only roared louder.
Dark lightning exploded around his body.
His wings spread wide again as the storm above them intensified.
“You think this will save you?”
The monster lifted both claws high.
“I will erase this kingdom from existence!”
Aria stepped forward beside Kael.
Her silver light shone brighter again.
“Then we stop you together.”
Darius sighed dramatically.
“Well,” he said.
“It seems I have no choice but to help.”
Dark magic gathered around his hands again.
Three powerful forces now stood against the Devourer.
But the storm in the sky continued growing.
And deep down, they all felt the truth.
The real final battle…
Had only just begun.
