329 Attack!
—–
It had only been a few minutes since the fight between Ellergest spirit and the Wyvern began, however, I’ve been using every single minute to explain them my plan. My father and my friends quickly trusted me in what I had in mind. My father was easy to convince once I told him I had no intentions of actually going into a physical fight against a Wyvern, which could easily cut me into pieces with its claws or incinerate me into ashes with its blazing breath.
The priests felt doubtful, but the situation was desperate, and they quickly ended accepting to listen to me and then decide if they wanted to cooperate or not. We didn’t had much time at all either, as Ellergest’ dragon was already filled with wounds and might end up emptying its HP in the next minutes. Although Ellergest healing magic could heal his own Spirit’s HP, he was already at his limit too, and wanted to save MP for whatever I had in mind as well. He had already managed to lure the Wyvern high into the skies, so it had yet to attack the village again. But it would probably descend once more whenever the dragon spirit dies, seeking whatever it was trying to find in here.
“The plan is rather simple, by using my father’s Spirit which can use some of his Skills, these rabbits I have, and Eleanora, we’ll create a trap underground, big enough to fit the entire wyvern.” I said. “After that, we’ll attack the creature with everything we have until its breaths its last.”
“And how do you hope to accomplish such a thing? Wyverns are not stupid, they’re smart creatures!” Said Ellergest.
“Not so smart, if they were lured into this area, the creature is already furious and ferocious as it is. Something must have lured it here. We’ll simply attack it from a distance. I have the means to attack it, the beast is easy to provoke as well, despite being “smart”. It is merely observant, but our trap will be covered so it wont be able to see it. In fact, the underground digging is already halfway through.”
My father was gasping for air as he was using most of his MP to supply his spirit, which had dug underground from below the barrier alongside my Horned Rabbits, which I’ve created another four of them by replacing other summons, it was a desperate situation so I had to do this.
“It is working… There is already a big pitfall being made, in another minute it should be ready. But that pitfall alone can handle it?!” Asked my father.
“Eleanora has the power of creating special Traps made out of Shadows with a Skill she learned, we’ll use that to create a deadly trap that can keep the wyvern underground. I’ll trust Jack’s chains to wrap around the wyvern’s jaws so its breath attack wont hit us while it is struggling.”
“What?! Me?!” Jack asked in surprise. After two months he had finally recovered from the battle against the demons, but now he had been taking things quite too easily for too long.
“What? Lack the backbone to do something so simple? You’ve been practicing the usage of your chains for a while now.” I said, quickly putting pressure on him.
“Okay… I get it! I’ll do it.” Jack accepted things way too fast, surprising me quite a lot.
“How do we lure it though, Blake?” My father asked me while feeling rather worried, after all, that was the most dangerous part of our plan.
“Indeed, that’s the hardest part, but I’ve got some plans… Ah, is the pitfall ready?” I wondered.
“It should be…” Said my father, quickly realizing things were almost ready.
Because they dug underground, they did it in a way that the floor didn’t collapsed into the pitfall yet, but if any sort of weight was put over this thin floor, it would quickly and easily collapse.
“Eleanora.”
“On it.”
Eleanora quickly disappeared, turning into a small Blood Bat, and then flying underground through the tunnels made by father’s spirit and my horned rabbits. In thirty seconds, she was already able to make a very big Shadow Trap reinforced with tons of MP. My MP was already below half its maximum quantity, if I kept doing this for too long, I would easily run out of energy.
This entire strategy was a dangerous bet, but if it truly worked… then it would be a pleasure to see that monster agonize in the floor as it bleeds out its last.
“Now, let’s do it.”
I quickly grabbed some Javelins made out of wood with the tips crafted from sharpened rock, and handled them to my father, Chris’ father, and everybody without long-ranged attack means. The Duke and the chief also were made to hold one, but it was more for their own self-protection. The knights also decided to cooperate due to trusting my father’s judgement on trusting my idea.
“T-Then I open the barrier?” Wondered Elizabeth.
“No, protect the chief and the duke’s family in here, we’ll go out and distract the wyvern. Do you think you can hold on for a minute or two more?” I asked Elizabeth.
“I think so…! With the Apple Juice you gave me, my MP is refilling fast!” Elizabeth said. She was trying her best but even now, she seemed to be having difficulties. Her trust over my judgement, however, was big and commendable, I had to praise her for such a level of trust she had for me.
“Very well then, let’s go!” My father said, leading the party.
We quickly ran outside the barrier, as I summoned all five of my F-Rank Crows and told them all to annoy the wyvern. They flew directly towards the beast, as the light dragon was already about to die.
“CRAAA!”
The annoying crows began firing projectile feathers against the Wyvern, greatly irritating the monster until it finally turned its attention towards them when the dragon suddenly died, exploding into magic essence.
“GROOOARRR!”
