I Received System to Become Dragonborn

Chapter 501: The Giant Beast



Lysander hurtled through the night sky, the wind blowing at him as he charged toward the giant beast. The blue light emanating from his staff carved a path through the darkness. The massive creature form was grotesque and writhing with dark energy as it towered over the battlefield.

As he drew closer, Lysander's heart pounded in his chest. He could feel the oppressiveness of the creature's dark aura pressing down on him. But there was no turning back.

The giant beast's glowing yellow eyes followed his approach, narrowing with cold intelligence as it recognized him and the threat he pose. It let out a low, rumbling growl. Lysander tightened his grip on the staff, bracing himself for the inevitable clash.

Suddenly, the beast's movements shifted. Lysander's eyes widened as he saw its enormous jaws part revealing rows of jagged teeth. Deep within its throat an unnatural swirling energy began to gather - black and purple, coalescing into a pulsing orb.

Lysander's heart skipped a beat. He recognized the danger immediately. The orb crackled with dark tendrils of lightning and he could feel the air around him begin to warp under its influence. Time seemed to slow as he realized what was about to happen.

"No… it's too fast!"

Lysander's mind raced as he watched the orb swell at terrible speed. He willed his body to move but he knew it was too late. The beast's preparation was complete and with a deafening roar, it unleashed the orb.

BWOSSSHH!!!

The black and purple sphere shot from the beast's mouth with terrifying speed, tearing through the sky. Lysander barely had time to react. The speed of the attack left him no room to maneuver. Lysander immediately he brought his staff up, summoning his Magic to form a protective barrier.

BOOM!

The orb struck his shield with a force that shook Lysander. The impact was big and strong. The barrier of light around him flickered violently, but he was sure he can hold it.

Lysander gritted his teeth and pouring more Magic into the barrier, but he starting to feel the strain. The orb pressed against the shield and pushing him backward through the air.

His arms trembled as he fought to maintain the barrier, the weight of the attack bearing down on him like a crushing tide. Sweat poured down his face and his muscles screamed in protest but he held firm.

With a deep breath, Lysander pushed aside the exhaustion threatening to drag him down. His staff pulsed with renewed energy. The blue light intensifying until it was nearly blinding. He focused, channeling his Magic into the protective barrier that still shimmered weakly before him. This time, he wasn't just reinforcing the shield, he was transforming it.

The air around him crackled with electricity as the shield began to shift. The soft blue glow intensified, shifting into a blinding white as arcs of lightning danced across its surface. Lysander willed it to strike back. The lightning surged outward and clashing with the dark orb head-on.

BOOM!

The collision was huge. Lightning and darkness clashed in a furious storm making the air trembling from the impact. The black and purple orb writhed as the lightning struck it, bolts of electricity tearing through its writhing form.

Lysander's shield that now turned into lightning attack overwhelming the orb with its relentless assault. With an explosive burst the orb shattered, disintegrating into harmless tendrils of dissipating black Magic.

Lysander didn't waste a second. He raised his staff high, the lightning still crackling around him like a storm contained within his grasp. He focused all his remaining energy and gathering the destructive power of the storm into a single, devastating attack.

With a cry that echoed across the battlefield Lysander unleashed the full fury of his Magic. A colossal bolt of lightning erupted from his staff, arcing through the sky with blinding speed. The bolt tore through the night, heading straight for the giant beast.

The beast sensing the impending danger. It then reacted with surprising speed. It raised one of its massive hands and a pulse of purple light began to gather in its palm. In an instant the light coalesced into a shimmering shield of dark energy.

The shield materialized just as Lysander's lightning bolt struck, the two forces colliding in a thunderous explosion of light and sound.

BOOM!

Lysander's eyebrow furrowd in surprise as he witnessed the beast's defense. The shield held strong against his attackm, absorbing the brunt of the lightning's fury.

For a moment, the sky was lit up with the intense glow of the clash, the lightning crackling angrily against the dark energy. Lysander realized that the beast had not only withstood his assault but had actively countered it.

This was no mindless monster that usually only driven purely by instinct. The creature before him possessed intelligence and the ability to wield Magic just as he did. It was a chilling thought, one that sent a shiver down his spine.

The giant beast's yellow eyes glowed with a fierce, predatory light as it lowered its shield, its gaze locking onto Lysander. There was something in those eyes. Like a cold, calculating awareness. This will not be an easy fight.

Suddeny, with a roar the giant beast reached down and claws digging into the earth. Lysander's eyes widened in shock as he watched the creature effortlessly rip a towering tree from the ground. The beast then hefted the tree into the air.

Then, the beast hurled the tree at him with incredible speed. The tree became a deadly projectile, hurtling through the air like a giant spea.

Lysander's instincts took over, his grip tightening on his staff as he summoned his Magic. The air around him buzzed with electricity as he unleashed a bolt of lightning again. The lightning shot forward and striking the tree dead-on. In an instant, it splintered the trunk and sending shards of wood flying in all directions.

But even as the tree was destroyed, Lysander's sense of danger only intensified. His eyes darted back to the beast, and his heart nearly stopped. The giant beast was already upon him.

In the brief moment it took Lysander to destroy the tree, the beast had closed the distance between them with an astonishing leap. Its massive form soared through the air, casting a shadow over Lysander as it bore down on him with terrifying speed.
