BXBX NOVEL Chapter 179 Elsa Falling Down
Elsa had already jumped off of the Wyvern body, and on the brink of landing on another nearby Wyvern.
She was so close to landing on the Wyvern, but was abruptly cut off in her track, with a Wyvern hand clawing her down from her side.
There was nothing she could do to stop the claw from touching her. It smacked her down, with her body taking the full force of the grunt, dropping downward.
Elsa as she was falling, managed to turn her face sideways, to see the Wyvern that had stopped her from jumping unto any other Wyvern.
She saw, a Wyvern slightly bigger than the others, and with a menacing look coupled with irritation, all directed toward Elsa.
She watched herself continue to fall to her impending doom, and powerless to do anything to stop it.
The height she started falling from, was far too great for an average human to survive it, not even Elsa is certain that she will live to tell any sorts of tale when her body lands.
She closed her eyes, indicating her giving up, knowing that she had done the best she could to give her people a fighting chance against the Wyverns.
She has bought them enough time for the mages to get to the gate and start defending it.
Elsa let out a smile from her face, broadening her lips a little with her eyes still closed off, sending herself off by resigning all the burdens she had carried so far into the smile.
*Bounce!*.
Elsa\'s body fell to the ground, yet surprisingly enough, she wasn\'t unconscious and could feel every part of her bone still moving and intact.
With her head facing upward, she thought the question, how and why? In her mind.
She turned her face sideways and in several directions afterwards, trying to find out in what direction she had landed in.
When she spread her feet apart, she could see the city gates, from a distance away, and that was enough to tell her that she wasn\'t inside the city.
Elsa rubbed her elbows to the ground, trying to see if it was still the same hard ground that it was supposed to be, and to understand how her bones were still intact during her fall.
The ground that she felt, wasn\'t hard but soft, it was like she laid herself down on a cozy bed, except this was the ground and not a cozy bed.
Without putting much thought into it, she arrived at the conclusion that the one\'s responsible for making the ground she fell on to be soft, is the handiwork of the mages.
"they must have gotten to the city gate already".
Elsa once again spread her legs apart, and saw that the figures standing at the wall on the gates had multiplied, and they also had several attacks poured out from them, aiming in the direction of the Wyvern.
She felt relieved knowing that she was able to buy enough time for the mages to get to the gate and start their counter attack.
Elsa closed her two eyes as she laid her body on the ground, releasing all tension in it.
She wanted to rest her body a little, to catch her breath before she got up and move over to the city gates to join her soldier in attacking the Wyverns.
Regrettably for Elsa, she was only allowed a moment of respite before she forced her body to get back into action.
Coming at her from above, is an angry Wyvern with descriptive features similar to the one that stopped her from jumping earlier, and cruelly clawed her down to falling on the ground.
The Wyvern leader, was making her way down to Elsa with intense speed, the kind that had her scales igniting sparkles of fire around.
Her intent, is to crush down Elsa with her body weight, not decreasing the speed so she can further pummel her down.
The Wyvern leader\'s thought did not succeed, as Elsa spotted her drastically dropping down from above, and proceeded to get herself up, rolling herself out of the way in time before being squashed down by her body weight.
Like a mini earthquake, the body of the Wyvern leader crashed into the ground, causing a crater deep enough to have water poured into it without spilling, and wide enough to be used as a stream.
The soldiers at the gate were also affected by the Wyvern leader\'s body dropping, as they lost their balance for a moment, though they were able to gain it back instantly.
"you came into my territory unwelcomed, blinded the eye of my pack member. To what extent do you humans draw a line on your cruelty".
The Wyvern leader picked herself up from the ground, standing with her two legs down, and her chest wide open, with her head facing Elsa.
It came as an honest surprising moment for Elsa to find out that the Wyvern before her was capable of speaking human language.
She knew of the existence of monsters with intelligence, but not one versed in the language of the humans.
"cruel? You attack a city full of ordinary humans, children who know nothing of combat, mothers who are only trying to provide for their children, yet you call us cruel?".
Elsa shakes off her surprise, answering the question asked by the Wyvern.
"flying above us, and raining your breath down on us like Gods, while we humans have to stand and watch defenseless as everything we spend our whole lives building up, fall to ruins".
It is common knowledge that monsters are born naturally stronger than humans. Referring to the teachings of human adults to the upcoming humans offsprings, they are thought to harbor malice toward the monster kind, and to kill them upon sight.
The intelligent nature of humans, have caused them to fear that which is naturally superior to them. They have always liked to pride themselves as the apex of all beings, and are not willing to tolerate the presence of such monsters whose natural existence proves their logic to be wrong.
Tbat said, humans are not the only beings who harbor such intent.
Amongst intellectual monster kind, there are also those who view humans as disposable objects, meant only to serve and do their will, and when their demands are not properly met with, such humans are no longer of no use.
There is never a good or a bad side, just sides with differing opinions, letting their fear be that with which their judgment is centered on.
