Chapter 24 Defeat
Chapter 24 Defeat
An ice statue lunged at the group, forcing them to break the circle formation. The mercenaries dodged the wyvern's clone, but another ice clone appeared in front of them and struck Luke with its powerful tail.
'Gaghhh! '
Luke was thrown against the ice wall and spat blood.
- 1232 HP
He lost half of his Health this way. One tail blow of the clone was enough to lower his HP to half.
If a clone with only 50% of the ice wyvern's power could cut the swordsman's health in half, the real wyvern would probably one shot everyone in the group.
" Luke! "
The black-haired mage shouted as she raced towards her injured teammate. She threw a few spells at the clones while dodging the ice spikes emerging out of the ground. The real ice wyvern kept attacking the group with its ice breath and by creating spikes under their feet.
Fortunately Luke was quickly encased in a golden shield that protected him from the emerging spikes.
Crack... Crack...
One by one the spikes were repelled by the shield, unfortunately the shield wasn't unbreakable, small cracks began to appear on its surface.
When the mage saw that the built up defense was being broken, she jumped high into the air and started chanting the spell.
" I, Ela, shall summon the ancient plant "
Whoosh...
The ice broke apart and a huge flower rose from the ground, taking Luke on one of its giant leaves and lifted him to the sky.
As soon as the leaf with Luke reached the magician's height, the plant stopped growing.
Ela quickly landed on the leaf and rushed to Luke. She poured a health potion in his mouth and cast a spell to make him recover faster.
When Ron saw Ela healing Luke, he used his Light swords to draw the attention of the two clones away from the plant, leaving his other two comrades to fight the real Ice Wyvern.
Abigail created a fireball and threw it at the Ice wyvern taking on the aggro.
John held his sword in one hand and ran the blade through his palm covering it with blood.
Suddenly huge pressure was emitted from the blade and visible red aura rose from the John's body.
His hand muscles tensed up under the pressure and veins became visible all around his body.
Tightly clenching the weapon he momentarily disappeared from everyone's vision only appearing right before the wyvern's nose.
His sword raised high in the air descended piercing through the Ice armor and damaging the beast's wing further.
- 2175 HP
The sword dyed in red hue drank the blood of the beast greedily empowering itself further.
Roar...
The wyvern's roar full of pain gathered attention from everyone in the Ice Domain. Mercenaries turned their heads towards the battle while the clones of the wyvern bolted towards the real one trying to assist him.
Unfortunately for the beast his clones' paths were immediately blocked by the Ron, Abigail and Luke who was back in shape to fight.
" Stop the clones from advancing! "
Ron shouted as swords hovering above him shot towards the nearest ice statue.
Abigail and Luke followed his advice and attacked the other clone as well.
The battle was already in full swing when another variable suddenly appeared on the battlefield. The sound of battle attracted beasts from the forest.
The Wyvern's clones were being destroyed and when the beast sensed the presence of monsters gathering outside his domain it smirked.
The Wyvern retreated a dozen steps back and made a gateway for the monsters of the forest to enter his domain. A flood of various creatures, from salamanders to an unknown monsters, rushed into the area and immediately targeted the mercenaries.
When Ela saw a wave of monsters rushing towards them, she began to cast a spell that costed her half of her mana. Her previously red cheeks turned a little pale and her hands shook.
Boom...
Suddenly, another domain was created over the ice domain, allowing Ela to make some changes on the battlefield. With the other half of her mana, she created a wall of fire that split the domain in half and prevented the creatures from advancing any further. She also tried to set the wyvern on fire, but the ice around the beast's body was too cold for the normal fire to stand against it.
After she finished her actions, Ela fell to the ground. She tried to drink a mana potion, but her hands were too shaky to hold the potion steadily.
Fortunately, she still had time, because John was still holding the Wyvern at bay, while the others would soon join him, because the clones were almost destroyed.
Crack...
Finally, the ice statue shattered with a loud noise.
Abigail and Luke did not waste a second and rushed to Ron's aid to take care of the other clone.
Crack...
Another sound of something shattering rang through the domain.
Shortly after, the Wyvern was fighting 4 enemies again, while Ela was still recovering. She managed to consume the potion, but only a small part of her mana was regenerated.
When the Wyvern saw the mercenaries regrouping, he finally took them seriously. His huge jaws were slightly open as suddenly the temperature around him dropped.
Even the blood flowing from his wing froze as it fell, immediately turning into ice.
Seeing an unseen skill Ron quickly used the device and was very surprised.
He knew that the final battle would soon begin...
