Chapter 12: Chapter twelve
Chapter: The Overlord's Duel – A Battle of Five
The arena buzzed with excitement, but this time, the anticipation was even greater than before. Crow, now known as Overlord, was about to face an unprecedented challenge—five Beast Tamers and three mages. It was a match unlike any the arena had ever seen, and the spectators were eager to see if Overlord could continue his unstoppable rise.
The announcer's voice boomed, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a historic fight today! Overlord, the undefeated Beast Tamer, faces off against FIVE Beast Tamers and THREE mages! Can Overlord overcome such overwhelming odds?"
The gates rumbled open, and Crow stood calmly in the center of the arena, his eyes narrowing as he took in the scene. The five Beast Tamers lined up, each with their own beast at the ready. The mages stood a little further behind, their staffs raised, prepared to unleash devastating spells.
The Five Beast Tamers were each powerful in their own right, but Crow wasn't intimidated. He was ready for this. He had trained with his creatures, and now, he would put his entire arsenal to the test.
His enemies weren't going to make it easy, though. The five Beast Tamers each summoned their own powerful creatures, and the mages conjured magical barriers to protect them.
Crow needed to think fast, and he did. With a flick of his wrist, he summoned his Fire Elemental Guardian and Ice Elemental Guardian, the towering guardians of flame and frost, appearing beside him. The crowd roared in excitement.

The Arena Match:
Crow took a deep breath and surveyed the enemy forces. The mages would be a problem if left unchecked, so he quickly turned his attention to them. He would need to strike hard and fast.
The Five Beast Tamers each sent out their monsters:
1. Level 40 Beast Tamer (Earth Elemental) – A towering earth golem that could slam the ground with devastating force.
2. Level 35 Beast Tamer (Thunder Dragon) – A dragon whose wings could send lightning strikes through the air.
3. Level 38 Beast Tamer (Frost Wolf) – A wolf with ice breath, known for its quick strikes and defensive abilities.
4. Level 30 Beast Tamer (Venomous Serpent) – A massive, poisonous snake that could constrict its foes.
5. Level 25 Beast Tamer (Griffin) – A majestic and fierce creature with the ability to attack from the air.
At the same time, the three mages—each level 40—began casting spells. One conjured Arcane Shields, creating barriers to protect the Beast Tamers. The second mage unleashed Lightning Bolts at Crow's direction, and the third prepared a Massive Fireball that threatened to decimate everything in its path.

Crow's Response:
Crow's mind raced as he processed the overwhelming situation. He couldn't afford to let his enemies gain the upper hand. He needed his creatures to stay coordinated.
"Wyvern," Crow commanded. The Wyvern—his level 30 flying monster—took flight, swooping in to engage the Thunder Dragon in the air. The battle between the two massive flying creatures was fierce, but Crow knew his Wyvern had an advantage in maneuverability.
"Shadow Panther," Crow ordered next. The Shadow Panther, his elite level 20 monster, immediately blurred into shadow and appeared behind the Frost Wolf, attacking with swift, deadly claws. The Frost Wolf snarled in retaliation, but the Panther's agility made it a formidable foe.
Meanwhile, Crow turned to the Rock Golem. "Defend the Fire and Ice Guardians."
The Rock Golem obeyed, stepping forward to intercept any attackers. With its massive strength, it began to engage the Griffin, using its heavy fists to pummel the airborn creature. The Griffin retaliated with sharp talons, but the Rock Golem's sheer endurance was too much to break through.
"Fire Elemental Guardian, Ice Elemental Guardian, attack the mages!" Crow commanded, knowing the mages posed the greatest threat.
The Fire Elemental Guardian unleashed a fiery Inferno Blast, sending a massive fireball toward the mage casting Lightning Bolts, knocking him back and forcing him to retreat behind his barrier. The Ice Elemental Guardian followed up with a Glacial Crush, summoning massive chunks of ice to slam into the other two mages.
But the mages were ready. The Arcane Shields absorbed most of the damage, but Crow was relentless. He wasn't about to let them hide behind their magic.

The Battle Intensifies:
As the battle raged on, Crow's Werewolf joined the fray, charging at the Venomous Serpent. Its claws swiped through the serpent's scales, but the serpent retaliated with its poisonous fangs. However, the Werewolf's natural resistance allowed it to withstand the poison, and it knocked the serpent aside with a powerful swipe.
The Wyvern continued its aerial duel with the Thunder Dragon, and after an intense battle of claws and fiery breath, Crow's Wyvern gained the upper hand, landing a decisive blow that sent the Thunder Dragon spiraling out of the sky.
With the aerial threat neutralized, Crow refocused on the Earth Elemental. He directed the Shadow Panther to circle around it, striking from the shadows and darting in and out, forcing the Earth Elemental to stagger under the constant assault.
In the midst of all this chaos, the Fire Elemental Guardian took another hit from a lightning spell. Crow noticed the damage and immediately commanded, "Flame Shield, recover!"
The Fire Elemental Guardian created a shield of fire around itself, healing and blocking further damage, while the Ice Elemental Guardian froze the battlefield, hindering the movement of enemy creatures and mages alike.

The Taming Attempt:
Crow knew he was close. With the battle nearing its conclusion, he prepared his final move. The Fire Elemental Guardian and Ice Elemental Guardian had weakened the mages and beasts alike, and now it was time for him to strike.
He turned to the Venomous Serpent, already weakened by the Werewolf's assault. With a swift command, Crow issued the order: "Tame."
The magical chains of submission wrapped around the serpent, but unlike earlier tames, this one was different. Crow wasn't just breaking the serpent; he was conquering it. The serpent's mind began to submit, the beast's fierce resistance crumbling under Crow's will. It was tamed.
But the fight wasn't over yet.
Crow looked at the remaining enemies, his tamed beasts standing proud beside him. It was clear: the Overlord was not to be taken lightly.
