As a familiar presence made itself known, the Wyvern turned towards the source, revealing a figure with white hair landing gracefully on the ground.
His sword gleamed, catching the light.
Straightening his back, Adrian's icy cerulean eyes fixed on the Wyvern lying helpless in the mud before approaching it.
"Screech!"
The beast let out a piercing screech and thrashed about, desperate to break free from the mud that held it captive.
With each violent movement, mud splattered and sprayed in all directions.
—Splash! —Splash! —Splash!
Pacing his speed, Adrian ran with his sword at the ready.
As they drew closer, the Wyvern's jaws opened wide, prompting him to hurl a lightning bolt at its mouth.
"!"
Adrian flinched when the Wyvern unexpectedly dipped its head into the mud, realizing too late what the monster was up to.
Wasting no more time, Adrian created a wind barrier around himself, and a deafening explosion reverberated throughout the forest.
—Boom!
The mud spewed forth and spread out in all directions, and a dense fog enveloped the area.
The shockwave was so intense that Adrian had to brace himself firmly against the ground.
"Tsk."
Adrian couldn't help but cluck his tongue in annoyance.
He was aware that monsters with a ranking rating of C and above possessed some level of intelligence.
But the idea that they would fake their struggle to break free just to lure him in seemed a bit insane.
By shooting a fireball into the mud, the Wyvern created a force that dispersed the muck, allowing it to escape.
Due to its 50% Fire Elemental Resistance, the Wyvern would not sustain any significant injuries from its own fireball attack.
As the fog obscured his sight, Adrian conjured a gust of wind to disperse it.
However, he soon found himself leaping backward as the Wyvern's tail rushed toward him.
Just right after he landed, the Wyvern swiftly pivoted its massive body and charged at him.
Undeterred, Adrian unleashed a barrage of lightning bolts, but the beast deftly dodged left and right, as it always did.
When the distance grew closer, the Wyvern opened its jaw to devour the boy who stood motionless, however—
"Roooaarr!!"
The monster let out a piercing wail and flapped its wings in surprise as Perez's spear grazed its feet, causing red blood to spray into the air.
Before the monster could fully comprehend what was happening, it was struck by another attack.
—Whack!
A boy with black hair descended from above and landed a powerful punch on the monster's head.
—Boom!
The Wyvern's head slammed into the earth and let out a piercing wail of agony.
"Rooaarrr!!
As the duo retreated and landed next to him, Adrian quickly shot out an earth spear.
To his surprise, the Wyvern stood up and jumped back, causing his attack to strike the ground below.
'What the hell.'
The corners of Adrian's lips twitched in annoyance; somehow, he began to question his accuracy.
—Thud!
The ground trembled as the Wyvern landed gracefully on its feet, its scales stained with a deep red hue.
Its hot breath escaped its mouth as it panted heavily, clearly exhausted from the intense battle.
"I'm amazed it still has the energy to dodge."
Ralph commented as he wiped the sweat off his chin.
Furthermore, his Magic Scroll would lose its effect in a few minutes, meaning they had to take down the Wyvern quickly.
Soon, The Wyvern's jaws parted, revealing a fiery glow deep within its throat.
While the duo readied themselves to retreat, the white-haired boy beside them stood firm, not even flinching.
"Ian!"
Ralph called out, yet the boy in question just stayed still.
Without warning, the Wyvern unleashed its breath of fire, prompting Adrian to fire his lightning bolts in unison before summoning a towering wall of earth to block the flames.
"Rooaarrrr!!"
Suddenly, the Wyvern emitted a deafening roar, its body contorting in agony as the lightning surged through its throat.
It stumbled, blood spilling from its mouth and splattering all around.
"Rooaarrrr!!"
The Wyvern let out another piercing wail before finally plummeting to the ground.
—Boom!
Shortly after, a sequence of explosions erupted, flinging debris and dust high into the air.
—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!
The boys quickly turned their heads to the side, where they saw Syvina, Rhea, and the other students unleashing their magic at the fallen Wyvern.
The creature let out a pained wail as it struggled to regain its footing.
As soon as it stood up, the Wyvern swiftly turned around and bolted away, nevertheless—
—Boom! —Boom! —-Boom!
"Rooarrr!!"
It was immediately greeted by a barrage of unstoppable Magic as a group of students had waited for it.
"Well, now that's teamwork."
Ralph commented as he watched the scene present, and Adrian lightly responded.
"Yeah."
"By the way, Ian, is it okay? I mean, you won't finish it?"
Pérez asked, his voice laced with concern.
Adrian shrugged nonchalantly and put his sword back into his magic sphere.
"Nah, it's alright; it'll be dead soon."
Adrian pointed at the board hovering in the sky, and the wyvern's health steadily decreased with each passing second.
"I see."
Péréz soon nodded his head in understanding.
Finally, when its health reached zero, the Wyvern let out a final roar before swaying and crashing to the ground with a deafening boom.
—Boom!
The ground shook violently, and debris and dust billowed into the air, obscuring the view.
The students held their breath, waiting for the dust to settle, unsure of what they would find.
When the clouds of dirt finally settled, the Wyvern could be seen lying motionless on the ground, blood oozing out of its scales and drenching the soil below.
The atmosphere became silent; only the rustling trees could be heard.
"Is… is it dead?"
Someone on the throng chimed in, breaking the silence.
"Look!"
As the student pointed towards the hovering board in the air, the crowd turned their attention to it.
Upon seeing the Wyvern's health status at 0%, they erupted in merriment.
The students' faces beamed with pride and excitement as they celebrated their victory.
"We defeated it!"
"Hooray!!"
They exclaimed, their voices ringing out with triumph.
The air was filled with the sound of their cheers and the sight of their exuberant jumping.
