BXBX NOVEL Chapter 23 Absolute Power
Before the battle, the group already knew about the wyvern\'s weakness, but the device had the ability to examine the selected target while it was nearby.
With enough time all the information about the beast would be revealed for the group to see.
Unfortunately, the item is inaccessible to normal players, it\'s exclusively for NPCs.
Also in the future, the game wouldn\'t allow players to get access to these broken information gathering tools.
So far, the device hadn\'t revealed any other weakness of the wyvern.
Shrugging, Ron put the device in his pocket and cracked his fingers, once again preparing for battle with the monster.
Shifting his eyes Ron noticed that the John managed to inflict further damage on the monster by thrusting his sword into the wyvern\'s tongue as it tried to devour him.
-312 Physical Damage!
Blood flowed from the monster\'s mouth and dripped onto the white snow, giving the Wyvern a fearsome appearance.
A huge monster with shiny scales and blood flowing from its mouth looked cool, if not intimidating.
Unfortunately for the monster, the group didn\'t give a damn about its appearance and continued to attack without stopping.
The mages continued to cast their spells and the swordsmen slowly reduced the wyvern\'s health.
Crack...
Suddenly, the snow under the group\'s feet made a strange sound that briefly stopped the team\'s attack.
Crack... Crack...
Huge spikes of ice emerged from the ground everywhere.
The swordsmen managed to jump high into the air and dodge the spikes below them.
Mages had a harder time, they were much slower than the swordsmen and had to protect themselves with a magical shield before floating up.
A red-haired mage created five different platforms in the air for her teammates to stand on.
The platforms were black in color and were surprisingly shiny.
When the group members landed on these floating objects, they didn\'t even flinch when their legs touched the surface of the platforms.
They trusted each other unconditionally and therefore didn\'t need to fear that the platform might disappear under their legs.
While the mercenaries were regrouping, the wyvern used its powerful legs and jumped onto one of the platforms. One of its wings was badly injured, so it could no longer fly.
The dragon opened its large mouth and released an ice breath that destroyed the platform with a red-haired mage standing on it.
The unfortunate mage didn\'t notice the dragon and was focused on keeping the platforms in the air.
Crack...
Suddenly she lost her footing and fell straight onto the Wyvern. The platforms under the other\'s legs also disappeared, bringing her down.
Luckily, Luke noticed the monster\'s movements beforehand and jumped towards the falling mage.
His body hit the mage and changed the trajectory of her fall.
Boom...
They both hit the ground farther away from the Wyvern. Luke had a bad landing and felt some of his ribs break after the fall.
The pain was short-lived, as the mage soon administered him a health potion.
His red-haired teammate held the potion to his lips for him to consume it.
" Thank you, Abigail... "
he murmured while drinking the potion.
The mage just nodded her head while watching the beast\'s movements.
Wyvern\'s attention was now focused on her, on the ground.
After all, it\'s easier to catch the prey on the ground after all. Considering that the wings you\'ve are injured, of course.
Boom...
Ron lunged behind the wyvern, and when he saw the beast looking away from him, he leapt onto its back and let the lightsabers wreak havoc on the monster\'s scaly back.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
The sabers began slashing at the wyvern, leaving minimal wounds. Unfortunately for the beast, the swords moved at supersonic speeds, causing hundreds of such wounds on its back.
The beast growled in pain and shook its body attempting to shake off Ron.
But the leech.. Mhhm, Ron thrust one of his swords between the scales and held onto it tightly.
Seeing that the enemy wouldn\'t be shaken off, wyvern stood on his two legs and lunged backward to crush the human that was trying so desperately trying to wound his back.
Ron already guessed that the creature would try to crush him under its weight and gathered most of the mana in one sword.
He jumped away at the last second and let the creature stab itself on the sword.
Boom... Roar...
The beast fell on the sword without any restrain and pierced itself on the weapon.
- 2415 Critical Damage!
A tip of the sword could be seen protruded from its chest. The wound bled profusely and the snow around it turned completely red.
The pain drove the Wyvern mad, so he used one of his strongest skills.
" ICE DOMAIN "
His shrieking voice echoed in the silent forest.
The group became alert when they saw that the monster was displaying a new ability. They formed a small circle and kept the two mages inside while the swordsmen stood in front of them.
Suddenly it began to snow, beautiful snowflakes fell on the group and slightly obstructed their vision.
Shortly after, the earth began to shake and spikes emerged from the ground, connecting with each other and forming an enclosed arena with an open roof.
The falling snowflakes stuck to the wyvern\'s wounds and quickly closed them.
Crack...
Ice armor began to form on the wyvern\'s scales. The beast\'s whole body was reinforced with a layer of ice.
Click... Click...
Two ice statues began to form on either side of the beast, creating its clones. Two ice Wyvern statues, which completely resembled the original version, jumped towards the group and tried to swallow them whole.
Fortunately for the mercenaries, the clones were only half as strong as the original version.
Baaaam....
One of the Statues was damaged by Abigail\'s fire spell. Unfortunately the ice clone didn\'t feel the pain and didn\'t even flinch before jumping at the group.
