327 Let's Hunt This Wyvern
—–
FLASH!
A flash of bright light bathed the Duke’s wife, quickly healing her visible wounds, but she still seemed unconscious and barely breathing. Checking her through my Ki, I was able to detect that her skull was slightly cracked, and she as bleeding inside her brain, the coagulating blood will kill her in a few minutes, she was still bleeding from her nose due to this.
“S-She’s still not waking up!” The Duke cried, looking back at his daughters, which were fine but unconscious due to the shock. “A-And my daughters!”
I had to do something to save the Duke’s wife, I was the only one that knew what was happening to her.
“GROOOARRR!”
However, the Wyvern finally noticed us, glaring furiously at us and then, flying down at a fast speed.
Opening its enormous jaws, the beast unleashed a blazing inferno.
FLUOOOSH!
“NOOOOO!”
The Duke’s scream was quickly stopped as the flames never reached us. Ellergest and Elizabeth’s magic resonated together as a large Light Magic Barrier was conjured, whose power was something I couldn’t conjure myself even at Tier 2 Magic without spending thousands of MP. Although I knew most of the MP was being supplied by Ellergest, a Veteran, it was still an incredible thing.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
Suddenly, the Wyvern boldly rushed down with its sharp claws and began to slash the barrier furiously, the barrier immediately began gaining cracks all over, quickly being about to shatter.
“Agh! Stop!” Elizabeth cried, gritting her teeth.
FLASH!
Suddenly, a small Cherubin appeared, her Spirit, which quickly began covering the Barrier with enormous quantities of light, reinforcing its durability, and solidifying it temporarily.
“ROOOARRR!”
The furious Wyvern suddenly began using its enormous, three meters big jaws to bite through the barrier and then bathe it with its flames.
And while trusting Elizabeth and Ellergest, I ran towards the Duke’s wife.
“I can help her. She has a wound inside of her skull that is making her bleed inside, if this continues she’ll die in a few minutes.”
“Eh?!”
The Duke was shocked that I was able to know such a thing.
“There is a way to help her, however, move aside!” I quickly moved the Duke away, as I borrowed Eleanora’s Blood Threads and inserted them inside of the Duke’s Wife nostrils.
The Blood Threads quickly moved across her nose, reaching all the way deep and then sliding across her blood vessels.
“Blood Manipulation.”
FLASH!
Activating the Blood Manipulation Art was hard for someone that wasn’t in direct touch of blood, but now that I had been able to get inside her blood vessels, it was easy to quickly bring the blood accumulating from the duke’s wife brain all the way down through her nostrils.
SPLASH!
Suddenly, a large amount of blood splashed out of her nostrils, as the Duke was once more shocked.
“W-What are you doing to my wife?!” The Duke couldn’t help but scream in horror.
“Calm down and listen to me.” I said, I am extracting the blood from her internal bleeding through a special magic, leave her bleed out for now, I am already casting a healing spell inside her skull!
“W-What? You can do such a thing? Something not even normal healing magic can do!” He said in surprise. “Y-You’re not lying?!”
“Shut up for now and just sit there! There’s a giant lizard trying to kill us!” I roared back at the Duke, who was getting in my nerves. The little man, intimidated by my roar, quickly sat down over the floor, looking at my eyes fearfully.
Crack… crack…!
“Agh! I can’t keep the barrier any longer!” Elizabeth cried.
“I’ve never been good at barrier making, actually…!” Ellergest said. “Come out already, lazy Dragon!”
FLASH!
Suddenly, a large, five-meter-long Dragon made out of light emerged, looking like a serpentine Asian dragon roaring loudly.
“ROAR!”
The Dragon of Light that Ellergest could summon was definitely a good contender against the Wyvern, as he quickly flew towards the beast and stopped the wyvern from hitting the barrier constantly.
CLAAAASH!
“GROOARRR!”
The Wyvern, however, was furious, ferocious, and above all, seemingly stronger than Ellergest Summon. This was due to Ranks specifically. Certainly, the Rank 2 Light Dragon was powerful and was probably high level as well, but this beastly wyvern was a monster one or two ranks above its normal level of threat due to the Demonic Miasma that the Demon Lord in the Lost Continent has been spreading across the entire world for ages now.
Monsters all around the world were growing stronger than they usually were due to this, almost at the same time I was born in this world. Because of this, the Wyvern’s might was something beyond what it should actually be for a monster like this.
CLASH! SLASH! BOOM!
The two reptilian beasts began to fight one another ferociously, claws against claws, and tails against tails. The Spirit of Ellergest seemed to have an advantage in terms of magic and skills, which he could share from Ellergest to an extent, flashes of bright light and the explosive blazing breath of the Wyvern began to spread over us, the barrier had to still tank these blows which generated furious shockwaves.
I looked back at the Duke’s wife, she seemed to be fine now, although she lost way too much blood and needed a transfusion, hopefully from one of her daughters. But it was no longer as lethal anymore.
“She should be fine now…”
“R-Really?”
The Duke asked while crying constantly
“Yes, now…”
I looked high into the skies, checking at the wyvern, it was taking some damage, but those scales were incredibly tough. The magic fired at the creature was only dealing, at most, 20% of its original damage, those scales reflected a large amount of their total power, as if they were magic mirrors. Imagining an armor made out of them was making me smile. This monster, despite how mighty it was, was as treasure trove.
Although the situation was dire and almost incomprehensible due to the reason behind this territorial beast to arrive here, I knew this time, I had to slay it.
Back then I had sworn that I would kill it after all, it was time to do as I had promised.
Taking out Gluttony from my shadows, the spear began to overflow with black and red essence, forming an aura of terrifying power.
“Father, let’s hunt this Wyvern.”
“What…?!”
