Chapter 20 - Blazeclaw Evolves into Ingius

The morning sun shone through the trees, casting long shadows across the training field. Deon stood at the edge, watching his partner Blazeclaw with a focused expression. Over the past few weeks, Blazeclaw had been growing stronger—more confident. Today, Deon sensed something was different. Something was about to happen.

"Alright, Blazeclaw," Deon called out, his voice steady but filled with anticipation. "We've been working hard together, and I can feel the change coming. Today, we're going to push past our limits. Show me what you've got."

Blazeclaw's fiery eyes locked onto his master. The beast had always been a force to be reckoned with, but now, there was an energy in the air around them—a spark, a deep yearning for something more.

The heat that had always surrounded Blazeclaw intensified. His fiery form seemed to ripple, and for the first time, Deon saw his partner tremble, not from fear, but from the sheer amount of power trying to break free from his body. The flames surrounding Blazeclaw turned into swirling vortexes of heat, crackling with energy. His muscles expanded, and his body grew even more powerful.

Then, with a loud roar, Blazeclaw's body erupted into a burst of fiery light. Deon's eyes widened as the creature's form shifted, the flames around him dancing wildly in the air, as if the very fabric of nature was bending to Blazeclaw's will. The transformation was unlike anything Deon had ever seen. Blazeclaw was no longer just a fire beast; he was something entirely new.

Blazeclaw's shape reformed, his body elongating and his flame-covered tail stretching out, now flickering with sparks of lightning and water swirling within the core of his being. His roar echoed across the field as his form shifted into something even more formidable—a majestic, dragon-like creature with an aura of pure power.

"Blazeclaw?" Deon whispered, his voice filled with awe and wonder. "Is that you?"

But the creature before him was not the same. The flames were brighter, the lightning crackling more fiercely, and the water flowed around his wings like a protective shield. Blazeclaw had evolved—into Ingius, the fiery, lightning-infused, water-tempered dragon.

As the final flickers of transformation settled, Blazeclaw stood tall, his new form towering over Deon. The air hummed with power as the elements themselves seemed to bend to Ingius' will. The creature's wings spread wide, their flames lapping at the air, and his eyes glowed a fierce amber color, crackling with electricity.

Deon was left in stunned silence for a moment. He had seen evolutions before, but this was something else. Blazeclaw had evolved into a Legendary Beast—a combination of fire, lightning, and water in its purest form, an elemental powerhouse unlike anything Deon could have imagined.

"Ingius," Deon said, stepping forward cautiously. "You've really evolved…"

Ingius let out a low growl, the sound a mix of thunder and a fiery blaze. It was clear that the evolution had given him not only new strength but a new presence, a new level of intelligence and power that radiated off of him.

Deon reached out, placing a hand on Ingius' large, scaled leg. The heat was intense, but it didn't burn him—there was something different about the way Ingius now controlled the flames within his body. It was like the fire, lightning, and water were not separate forces but rather perfectly balanced in harmony.

"You're incredible, Ingius," Deon said, his voice full of awe. "You've evolved into something beyond what we imagined. But now, we need to learn how to harness all of this power. Together."

Now that Ingius had evolved, Deon understood that their training would need to change. It wasn't just about fire anymore. It was about mastering three elements—fire, lightning, and water—and combining them in the most effective way possible. Ingius' evolution had granted him an entirely new set of abilities, and Deon was determined to help him hone those skills.

"Alright, Ingius," Deon said, "we've got a lot of ground to cover. First, let's get a handle on the Firestorm attack."

Ingius let out a low growl, the flames around him intensifying as he flexed his wings. He understood. His connection to Deon had only grown stronger during the evolution, and he could now feel the power of the fire within him like never before.

Deon stepped back to give Ingius space. "Let's focus, Ingius. Firestorm combines the power of your flames with the electricity in your body. We need to create a massive storm of fire and lightning. When you're ready, unleash it!"

Ingius took a deep breath, and Deon could feel the air grow tense. The heat radiating off of him became almost unbearable, yet the lightning arcing through his body seemed to crackle with even more intensity. Ingius' tail flicked, the fire spiraling into a vortex of heat. Then, with a massive roar, Ingius flapped his wings.

The ground beneath them trembled as a Firestorm erupted from his body. A violent storm of swirling flames and crackling lightning shot into the sky, raining down like meteors. The sky above them was filled with the light of the storm, and Deon shielded his eyes from the blinding intensity of the attack.

"Incredible!" Deon shouted, his heart racing. "You did it, Ingius!"

But Ingius wasn't done. The storm began to coalesce, and the flames mixed with the water flowing around his body. A brilliant glow enveloped his wings as a new attack began to take shape.

"Now, let's try combining water," Deon said. "I know it's tricky, but the elements have to work together. Fire and water are opposites, but together they can create something greater."

Ingius paused, his wings unfurling even wider. The water swirling around his wings started to condense, mixing with the lightning and flames. Deon could feel the energy building as the elements merged.

Then, in one explosive movement, Ingius unleashed a new attack—a Dragon's Breath attack that shot a stream of fire, water, and lightning toward the distant training targets. The force of the blast shook the earth beneath their feet, sending debris flying. The fire evaporated the water, the lightning crackled across the sky, and the result was an explosive burst of raw energy.

The targets were obliterated, the field scorched and flooded with the remnants of the attack.

As the smoke cleared, Deon couldn't help but smile. "You're getting stronger every day, Ingius. We're going to be unstoppable."

Ingius roared in agreement, his body standing tall and proud. He had now mastered the control of fire, lightning, and water in one seamless attack. But Deon knew there was more to learn. The true challenge would be perfecting these abilities and combining them in ways that would make him even more dangerous in battle.

"Alright, buddy," Deon said, resting a hand on Ingius' massive shoulder. "We've got more training ahead. But we've come a long way."

With that, they continued their training, pushing the limits of Ingius' newly evolved form, knowing that the road ahead would be full of even greater challenges. Together, they were ready to face whatever came next.
