CHAPTER 63: CHAPTER 63 : STUDENTS VS TEACHER [2]

The sky tore open.

Not metaphorically. Literally.

Clouds split apart like fabric ripping, revealing pure storm energy. Lightning crackled across the opening, each bolt thick as tree trunks,.

Wind roared down from above, so violent it flattened grass and sent debris spiraling into the air.

Morgana’s beasts staggered backward, bracing against the pressure.

Jax stood still, eyes locked on the sight.

Then it descended.

A figure emerged from the storm, massive and majestic.

[Tempest Sovereign - SS-Rank / Mythic (Storm Incarnate)]

It was a dragon, but not like any dragon from myths. Its body was pure energy, shifting between solid form and crackling lightning. Wings spread wide, each feather were like a blade of compressed wind. Eyes glowed electric blue, staring down at everything below with ancient intelligence.

The ground beneath it didn’t just tremble. It split.

Cracks spider-webbed outward, glowing with residual electricity.

The beast landed beside Jax with a thunderous impact that shook the entire arena.

Pah-BOOM!

Dust exploded outward. Wind whipped Jax’s suit, his hair flying back.

The Tempest Sovereign lowered its head slightly, acknowledging him.

Jax felt the bond snap into place, a connection far deeper than his previous two beasts. This wasn’t just respect or similarity.

This was recognition.

’It chose me. Not because I’m strong. Because it sees something in me.’

The dragon’s aura radiated outward, oppressive and absolute. Even the ambient weather shifted, clouds darkening further, rain beginning to fall in sheets.

Spectator comments flickered at the edge of Jax’s vision.

"What the hell is that?!"

"SS-Rank?! So thats why game rules said they were too rare!"

"Jax Rayne just became a final boss!"

Morgana’s expression stayed calm, but her eyes betrayed surprise. "Impressive. An SS-Rank bond. Were you hiding it from the start?"

Jax stood slowly he didn’t replied. His HP was low.

But the dragon’s presence filled him with renewed energy.

"Let’s finish this, Professor."

Morgana raised her hand. "Wrath. Viper. Scorpion. Formation Delta."

Her three beasts spread out instantly, creating a triangle formation with Jax and the Tempest Sovereign at the center.

’Smart. Surround and strike from multiple angles. Classic pack tactics.’

Jax glanced at his new beast. "Uh... parry? Attack that one? Or maybe—"

Jax didn’t knew what it can do, its attack then how its ability works.

The Tempest Sovereign moved before he finished.

It didn’t wait for specific commands. It understood intent.

Wings flared, wind exploding outward in a circular barrier. The Eternal Gale activated instantly, deflecting the Aether Viper’s incoming Volt Lash.

The lightning arced harmlessly off the wind shield, dispersing into the air.

’It’s autonomous. It knows what to do.’

The Sandshear Scorpion burrowed again, tremors rippling toward them.

The Tempest Sovereign slammed one massive claw into the ground.

Thunder echoed from below.

The Scorpion burst upward prematurely, electricity coursing through the earth and forcing it out of hiding.

It screeched, armor smoking.

[Sandshear Scorpion - HP: 76%]

Jax watched closely. ’Skybreaker Wrath. It can command weather phenomena. That means it’s not limited to direct attacks. It controls the battlefield itself.’

The Beast of Wrath charged, claws extended, Fury Link still active from Morgana’s earlier damage.

The Tempest Sovereign met it head-on.

Claws clashed. Wind collided with rage. Sparks of electricity danced across the impact point.

But the dragon was stronger.

It shoved the Wrath backward, wings beating once to create a gust that sent the massive beast tumbling.

Morgana’s eyes narrowed. "Viper. Scorpion. Pincer formation. Wrath, hold center."

Her beasts adjusted instantly.

The Viper and Scorpion attacked simultaneously from opposite sides while the Wrath recovered.

The Tempest Sovereign couldn’t block both.

The Viper’s Volt Lash struck its left flank. The Scorpion’s pincers clamped onto its right wing.

[Tempest Sovereign - HP: 90%]

Jax cursed. ’Numbers game. Even an SS-Rank can be overwhelmed by coordinated attacks.’

Morgana’s voice was calm. "Raw power means nothing without strategy, Jax. You should know that."

But Jax was already analyzing.

’The Viper is the fastest. The Scorpion controls terrain. The Wrath is pure offense. They’re covering each other’s weaknesses perfectly.’

He watched the Tempest Sovereign’s movements. The way it shifted weight. The way its wings angled before releasing wind bursts.

’It’s not just attacking. It’s testing them. Learning their patterns.’

Then he saw it.

It had finished analyzing too just like Jax.

"Now!" Jax shouted.

The Tempest Sovereign roared.

Not a normal roar.

Skybreaker Wrath activated.

The sky above turned black. Lightning bolts rained down, not randomly, but targeted. Each one struck with surgical precision.

The Aether Viper tried to dodge but the dragon’s wind currents cut off its escape routes. A bolt hit directly.

[Aether Viper - HP: 64% → 31%]

The Sandshear Scorpion burrowed desperately but the dragon slammed the ground again. Electricity surged through the earth, frying it underground.

The Scorpion burst upward, smoking and twitching.

[Sandshear Scorpion - HP: 76% → 43%]

The Beast of Wrath charged again, but the Tempest Sovereign was done playing.

Its wings spread wide. Wind gathered, compressed into a single point. Then released.

The gale hit the Wrath like a physical wall, sending it flying backward into debris.

Morgana’s expression stayed calm, but her jaw tightened.

"Viper. Scorpion. Retreat and regroup."

Her two weakened beasts pulled back, circling wider.

The Beast of Wrath stood again, eyes glowing brighter. Fury Link doubled its power further as Morgana’s HP dipped from the ambient damage.

[Morgana - HP: 47%]

’Her HP dropped. Which means the Wrath is even stronger now.’

Morgana’s voice cut through the storm. "You’ve studied your beast well, Jax. But you’re forgetting something."

"What?"

"I am your professor."

She raised her hand. "Wrath. Viper. Scorpion. Pattern Sigma."

Her beasts moved in perfect synchronization.

The Viper fired Volt Lash not at the dragon, but at the ground. Electricity spread across the wet terrain, creating a field of charged water.

The Scorpion burrowed and triggered tremors, destabilizing the ground beneath the dragon’s feet.

The Beast of Wrath charged through the chaos, using the distraction to close distance.

The Tempest Sovereign tried to take flight, but the tremors threw off its balance.

The Wrath’s claws struck true, raking across the dragon’s chest.

[Tempest Sovereign - HP: 90% → 78%]

Jax’s eyes widened. ’She’s using environmental manipulation too. Turning my beast’s own storm against it.’

Morgana smiled faintly.

The Viper struck again, electricity arcing through the water. The dragon roared, wings flaring to disperse the charge, but the damage stacked.

[Tempest Sovereign - HP: 78% → 71%]

’Damn it. She’s right. I’m being predictable.’

Jax’s mind raced. ’The dragon is powerful, but Morgana’s commanding her beasts like a symphony. Every move flows into the next. I need to disrupt that flow.’

He glanced at the battlefield. The charged water. The unstable ground. The circling beasts.

’If I can eliminate the Viper and Scorpion, the Wrath is alone. And alone, it’s just brute force.’

"Tempest Sovereign! Focus fire! Take out the Viper first!"

The dragon’s eyes locked onto the Aether Viper.

Lightning gathered at its throat.

The Viper tried to dodge, but the dragon released three bolts simultaneously, each one curving mid-air to track its target.

The first bolt hit. The second. The third.

[Aether Viper - HP: 31% → 0%]

[Aether Viper - Dead]

The Viper dissolved into light.

Morgana’s expression didn’t change. "Scorpion. Underground assault."

The Scorpion burrowed, but Jax was ready.

"Lightning into the ground! Flush it out!"

The Tempest Sovereign roared, electricity pouring into the earth. The Scorpion shrieked, forced upward, body smoking.

Before it could recover, the dragon’s claw slammed down.

[Sandshear Scorpion - HP: 43% → 0%]

[Sandshear Scorpion - Dead]

Two down.

Only the Beast of Wrath remained.

The battlefield fell silent except for the storm.

The Beast of Wrath stood alone, eyes glowing red, aura pulsing with doubled power.

[Morgana - HP: 41%]

Which meant the ability made its power doubled.

Jax’s chest tightened. ’This is it. The final push.’

The Wrath charged.

The Tempest Sovereign met it head-on.

Claws collided. Wind met rage. Lightning sparked across both beasts’ bodies.

They grappled, neither giving ground.

Jax watched their movements. ’The Wrath is stronger physically. But the dragon is faster.’

"Sovereign! Break the grapple! Use the wind!"

The dragon’s wings beat once, hard. The gust separated them.

The Wrath stumbled backward.

The dragon followed immediately, not giving it time to recover.

A talon strike. A wind blade. A lightning bolt.

Each attack precise, calculated.

The Wrath roared, swinging wildly, but the dragon was always one step ahead.

Morgana’s commands came faster. "Wrath! Counter-strike pattern! Feint left, strike right!"

The Wrath obeyed, movements sharpening.

It feinted, then struck hard. Its claw caught the dragon’s wing.

[Tempest Sovereign - HP: 71% → 65%]

But Jax was watching.

’She’s making it predictable. Every feint follows the same timing.’

"Sovereign! Wait for the feint. Then punish!"

The dragon’s eyes narrowed.

The Wrath feinted left again.

The dragon didn’t react.

The Wrath struck right.

The dragon was already there.

Its claw caught the Wrath mid-swing, then slammed it into the ground.

Thunder echoed from the impact.

[Beast of Wrath - HP: 88% → 71%]

The dragon pressed the advantage. Lightning rained down, each bolt striking the pinned Wrath.

[HP: 71% → 54% → 37%]

Morgana’s voice stayed calm. "Wrath. Final burst."

The Wrath’s aura exploded outward, pure rage condensed into kinetic force.

The dragon was thrown backward.

But Jax was ready.

"Skybreaker Wrath! Full power!"

The Tempest Sovereign roared.

The sky turned black.

Lightning didn’t fall. It erupted.

Dozens of bolts, hundreds, converging on the Beast of Wrath from every angle.

The Wrath tried to move, but there was nowhere to go.

The lightning consumed it.

[Beast of Wrath - HP: 37% → 0%]

[Beast of Wrath - Dead]

Morgana stood alone, no beasts remaining.

[Morgana - HP: 41%]

Jax walked forward slowly, the Tempest Sovereign looming behind him.

Morgana met his gaze, expression calm despite her defeat. "Well played, Jax."

Jax stopped a few meters away. "You know, Headmistress, you should’ve taken my offer earlier."

Morgana raised an eyebrow. "Offer?"

"Offer of Alliance. I was trying to help you at the start. I was trying to save you, save you from the beast standing in front of you."

Morgana’s eyes narrowed looking at the beast behind him, she was confused.

Jax gestured to the Tempest Sovereign behind him. "I didn’t meant this beast."

Silence stretched between them.

Then Jax continued. "I’m not angry, you know. Not about you taking my two beasts. Not about you eliminating my temporary ally, though I would’ve betrayed her anyway."

He added "I’m standing here. I enjoyed the fight. I fought one of my favorite charact—" He caught himself. "I mean, one of my favorite people. And more importantly, I crushed her."

Morgana’s lips curved faintly. "Arrogant."

"Honest." Jax’s smile widened. "You really made my day, Professor."

He raised his hand, signaling the Tempest Sovereign.

The dragon stepped forward, electricity crackling along its body.

Morgana didn’t flinch. "Do it."

Jax’s voice softened. "Thank you. And thank your whole team for keeping me entertained."

The Tempest Sovereign’s claw descended.

[Morgana - HP: 41% → 0%]

[Morgana Vexley - Eliminated]
