Chapter 198 The Last Gamble – Seraphina's Ascension
At the same time, his Dracolich and Giant Hawk weren't just there for show.
The Dracolich was a terrifying force of destruction, unleashing waves of necrotic energy while tanking the enemy's strongest summons.
Meanwhile, the Giant Hawk moved with unparalleled speed, striking from above like a bolt of lightning, disrupting formations and keeping their enemies constantly on edge.
Where had he even gotten these beasts?
A Dracolich—a real dragon, not the weak ones born in Eternia. And that Giant Hawk—it was unlike any known summon.
The speculations ran wild among the viewers.
"Who the hell is this guy?"
"There's no way he's a normal Tamer!"
"Where did he even got those beasts?! I've never seen summons like that before!"
Players watching the fight across the world were spamming the chat, demanding information.
How had a Tamer—a class usually considered a support role—become this unstoppable?
And more importantly . . .
Who was Horizon?
Up until now, he had been an unknown name, but after this battle, no one would ever forget him.
Wingless Valkyrie was on the brink of defeat.
With Horizon's Dracolich and Giant Hawk dominating the battlefield, the team had been pushed to their limits. The three guardian summons—the gurardian, Lunar Wolf and the Celestial Stag—were barely holding the line against Horizon's monstrous creatures, but even they were faltering.
The battlefield was becoming a wasteland of destruction, fire and ice clashing against necrotic energy, while the sky itself was filled with the terrifying screeches of Horizon's aerial beast.
Seraphina knew that if they didn't turn things around now, they would lose.
"Aria! Dawnfire!" she called, her voice cutting through the chaos.

Both mages were breathing heavily, their mana nearly depleted from keeping the summons active. Fiora was already kneeling on the ground, completely exhausted, while Velvet was about to collapsed entirely, unconscious from mana exhaustion.
Seraphina's heart pounded in her chest.
There was only one option left.
If they were going to win this, they would have to go all in.
"Give me everything you have left," she commanded.
Aria's and Dawnfire's eyes widened in realization. They didn't hesitate.
With one final push, they poured every last drop of their mana into Seraphina. Golden light erupted from her body, enveloping her in a divine radiance.
Her stats doubled, and in an instant, she transformed.
Seraphina's Celestial Blade burned with light, golden wings sprouted from her back, and her speed and strength skyrocketed to unmatched levels. The entire battlefield trembled under the sheer force of her awakened power.
But the cost was devastating.
A storm of blistering cold wind and ice engulfed the battlefield, coating everything in a layer of frost.
Seraphina's golden wings slowed, her movements becoming less fluid.
The air itself had become a weapon—forcing her speed to drop.
Dawnfire and Aria, barely able to stand, were now struggling to breathe in the freezing air.
Even the Lunar Wolf and Celestial Stag, the last remaining guardians, began to slow, their glowing forms flickering as the frost began sapping their remaining energy.
Seraphina narrowed her eyes, her breath coming out in white puffs of air.
"This . . . ," she muttered. "This is annoying."
She was still stronger, still faster—but the ice was forcing her to slow down.
And that was exactly what Horizon's team needed.
Von grinned as he raised his twin pistols.
With Seraphina's movements slightly hindered, he finally had a chance to land a shot.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Golden streaks of arcane bullets shot toward her.
Seraphina dodged, but she wasn't as fast as before.
One bullet grazed her shoulder, the force sending a ripple through her body.
Horizon smirked.
He lifted his sword, pointing it at Seraphina.
"You're fast," he admitted, "but let's see how you handle this."
He whistled—a sharp, commanding sound.
The Dracolich and Giant Hawk responded instantly.
The Dracolich reared back, unleashing a deafening roar. The air around it crackled with necrotic magic, and in the next second—
It unleashed a massive energy blast directly at the guardian summons.
The Celestial Stag let out a pained cry before it shattered into light.
The Lunar Wolf, its fur coated in ice, stumbled, struggling to stay standing.
Dawnfire and Aria gasped in horror.
"No—" Aria started, but it was too late.
The Giant Hawk swooped in, claws crackling with lightning, and in a single strike—
The Lunar Wolf was gone.
Wingless Valkyrie had lost their guardians.
Now, it was just Seraphina vs. Horizon, Von, Frigid, and Horizon's two summoned beasts.
Dawnfire and Aria could barely stand. Fiora and Velvet were unconscious.
