The Primordial Tamer

The day of the long-awaited death match between Orion and Senior Disciple Marcus had finally arrived. The entire sect was buzzing with anticipation, eager to witness the outcome of this clash between two powerful individuals.

As the sun began to rise, the disciples of the sect made their way to the Beast Arena, where the fight was scheduled to take place. The atmosphere was tense, and whispers of excitement and fear could be heard throughout the crowd.

"Have you seen Orion? Do you think he has a chance against Senior Disciple Marcus?" one disciple whispered to another as they took their seats.

"I heard that he\'s been training really hard, but Senior Disciple Marcus is known for his incredible strength and skill," the other replied. "It\'s going to be a tough fight for Orion."

As the disciples settled into their seats, the sound of drums could be heard in the distance, signalling the arrival of the combatants. The crowd erupted into cheers and applause as Orion and Senior Disciple Marcus entered the arena.

Orion appeared calm and focused while Senior Disciple Marcus strutted into the arena with a cocky smirk on his face. The two opponents stood opposite each other, each sizing the other up, waiting for the signal to begin.

Marcus, the Senior Disciple, couldn\'t help but taunt Orion as they stood facing each other in the arena. "I\'ve been waiting for this day for a long time," Marcus said, grinning at Orion. "I\'m going to enjoy taking you down."

Orion remained silent, his eyes fixed on Marcus. He knew the Senior Disciple was a formidable opponent, but he had trained hard for this moment and was determined to give it his all. He didn\'t let Marcus\'s words get to him and instead focused on his own thoughts.

"You think you\'re so tough, don\'t you?" Marcus continued, taunting Orion. "Well, let\'s see if you can back it up in the ring."

Orion still didn\'t respond, instead taking a deep breath and focusing on his breathing. He knew he couldn\'t let Marcus get under his skin and distract him from the fight. As the two of them stood there, the tension in the arena was palpable.

Marcus, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying himself as he continued to mock Orion. "What\'s the matter, Orion? Are you scared? You look like you\'re about to run away."

Orion gritted his teeth but still didn\'t say a word. He had trained hard for this moment and knew that he had to remain calm and focused if he wanted to win. He also scanned Marcus\'s status before the match began.

Orion took a deep breath and focused his attention on the status screen in front of him. It was the day of the long-awaited death match between himself and Senior Disciple Marcus, and he knew that understanding his opponent\'s strengths and weaknesses would be crucial if he hoped to emerge victorious.

He studied the information on Marcus\'s status screen, taking note of his opponent\'s realm and talent. Marcus had reached the third stage of the Lord\'s realm, one stage higher than him.

Orion also saw what Marcus\'s talent was. According to the status screen, Marcus was a Panther Master, which meant he had a deep understanding and control of the Shadow Leopard beast. Orion knew that this made Marcus a force to be reckoned with in combat, as the Shadow Leopard was known for its speed and agility.

As the signal to begin the match was given, the two combatants took their stances, ready to engage in battle. Marcus stood with a smug expression on his face, his eyes fixed on Orion.

Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared above Marcus, and a massive Shadow Leopard emerged from it. The crowd gasped in awe at the sight of the beast, which was almost twice the size of a regular leopard and had glowing green eyes that seemed to pierce through anyone who looked at them.

"You\'re going to regret challenging me," Marcus said, grinning at Orion. "My Shadow Leopard is unbeatable."

The Shadow Leopard was a formidable creature that towered over its master, with sleek black fur that seemed to absorb the light around it. Its muscles rippled as it moved, and its eyes glinted with a fierce intelligence that was both terrifying and awe-inspiring.

The beast\'s body was covered in markings that resembled tribal tattoos, which only added to its imposing presence. These markings glowed a sickly green, giving the Shadow Leopard an eerie aura that made the onlookers shiver in fear.

Its teeth were long and razor-sharp, and its claws were like curved blades that glinted in the sunlight. The beast\'s tail was long and powerful, capable of sweeping its enemies off their feet with a single swipe.

As the Shadow Leopard prowled around the arena, it emitted a low growl that sent a chill down the spines of the spectators. The crowd was stunned into silence as they watched the massive beast with a mix of fear and fascination.

Marcus stood beside his beast with an air of confidence, petting the Shadow Leopard\'s head and whispering something into its ear. The beast responded with a rumble that sounded almost like a purr, and its eyes glowed brighter.

The crowd murmured in anticipation, wondering if Orion had a chance against the powerful beast and its skilled master. Orion, however, remained calm and focused, keeping his eyes fixed on Marcus and the Shadow Leopard.

Marcus began to taunt Orion, knowing that he had the upper hand with his beast. "You really thought you could beat me, didn\'t you?" he said, laughing. "You should have known better than to challenge a Senior Disciple like me."

Orion didn\'t let Marcus\'s words get to him and instead focused on his own thoughts. He knew that he had trained hard for this moment and was ready to give it his all. He also knew that he had a secret weapon up his sleeve, one that would give him an edge in the battle.
