chapter-703

This was it. Liam knew that this was the deciding moment.

If he could evade this coming attack, then his victory was all but guaranteed in this fight. At the same time, if he could not completely dodge this single attack, then it meant that he still had ways to go before facing a creature like the one in front of him, a majestic wyvern.

Liam's gaze turned cold as he watched the huge draconian bird in front of him flap its steel wings and open its mouth, aiming directly at him. His pulse quickened. He did not waste any time as he immediately churned his mana core buried deep within him.

Where was the attack coming from? What was going to happen? As his mind raced, he pushed mana to every inch of his body, packing himself with all the power he could muster.

The next second a loud roar erupted from the wyvern as a dozen spikes emerged from the ground. All the spikes were dangerously sharp, metallic steel spikes just like its scales.

Liam instantly leaped up into the air to avoid the brunt of the attack, but that was not all. The Wyvern wasn't done yet.

Not only did steel spikes pop out of the ground, they also started raining down from the sky. Sturdy, thick, sharp spikes also started showing up on the sides. They were coming at him from all directions.

Within a fraction of a second, Liam was completely cornered from all sides. Steel death trap! That would be an accurate name for this attack!

His plan was to evade this attack and then coordinate with Luna to pincer attack the wyvern from both sides but now the damn creature had used a reverse card on him and done the same by attacking him from all sides.

Evading was no longer an option. Liam immediately made a split second decision. All the mana that he planned on using to boost his speed, he now redirected for something else.

He pushed them all to his right hand, pulled in as many earthen essences as he could to his hand, and also called for atmospheric mana around him, focusing all three on his right hand. He then thrust his hand forward using everything as momentum for the attack.

BANG! He punched the steel spikes on the side. If he couldn't evade the attack then he was going to break right through it!

Waves of mana and earthen essence roiled from his punch as the steel spikes that met his hand were blasted to smithereens and Liam used this opening to break out of the trap that was confining him.

However, the fight was far from over. He used everything he had to break out but the dragon simply snorted in amusement at his efforts.

Metallic spikes continued to rain down on him both from the top and the bottom as Liam pushed himself to keep moving. More! He needed more power and more strength to defeat this monstrous beast in front of him!

But he was also not done yet. The fight was just starting. Though he was not able to completely evade the previous attack, he was still able to emerge unscathed from it, taking only a small hit to his health.

This was more than enough for him. This told him that he had a fighting chance and he was logically sound in challenging this indomitable beast.

Now it was time for him to reveal his card, the weapon that he had against this beast because of which he had started this whole fight. He unsheathed the Black Dragon sword.

ROAR! Instantly another tremendous pressure enveloped the air around them and this was coming from none other than his sword.

Liam could feel the souls of the dragons inside the sword shaking and trembling. They were raging to get out of their prison and come out into the world.

The presence of the wyvern completely triggered them. They called out to Liam on their own, begging for him to use the sword.

And Liam grinned, "Yes, that is the plan." His legs moved without a break evading the attack of the wyvern while his hand clenched his sword tightly. He was determined to win this fight.

After getting pushed around by the old elf day in and day out, it was not an understatement to say that he was frustrated and this wyvern here was going to be his prey.

Little did the wyvern know that the puny human being in front of it was planning to use it like a punching bag to relieve all the pent-up stress. Its slit-like eyes shone with a cold glint as it stared at the sword in the human's hand.

As an intelligent and powerful beast, it could feel the strange aura seeping out of the sword. When it stared at the sword deep enough, it even felt a shiver run through its body.

No! The wyvern immediately roared. How dare a puny human threaten someone like him? This was not acceptable!

Its fury erupted like a volcano as it roared loudly again and again and started to attack Liam in a mad frenzy. It wanted to finish off the fight the next second.

It was shameful for a mighty draconian being like itself to drag the fight for so long. For its strength, the human should have already died thousand times over! Snort!

Immediately, all sorts of attacks started pouring down on Liam. He could literally feel the atmospheric mana gushing toward the wyvern. Between him and the beast, mana seemed to choose the wyvern.

However, there was also another party present in the battlefield which the wyvern had completely forgotten. It was distracted by the sword in Liam's hand and forgot about the little fox who had lured the beast here in the first place!

On one side, the wyvern was attacking the human being with a craze. Liam, on the other hand, was only barely holding on as he swung the sword in his hand with an equal craze as he cut through the various things being hurled at him.

Steel spikes, rock boulders, stone shards, and all sorts of things engulfed him as if he was standing in a tornado. What was a wyvern? It was not a rare or an epic grade beast. It was a supreme beast that looked down on everyone else.

So its magic attack was extremely powerful. Liam had to use his utmost concentration to survive this flurry of attacks.

Even with the sword coordinating with him, and all his strikes breaking apart the boulders and spikes like butter, the attacks were endless! They kept on coming and coming as if the damned wyvern had infinite mana!

But right at this moment, the third-party jumped into action. While the wyvern was attacking Liam, the fox appeared right behind the wyvern and slammed. She sent a powerful swipe toward the steel-skinned beast.

Luna's blue eyes glowed brightly as she growled in anger and sent a furious swipe toward the wyvern that was power-packed. The draconian beast was completely caught off-guard.

It stumbled because it felt the mana in the air responding to someone else now and because its attention was distracted, the single attack landed, and the wyvern stumbled.

SCREECH!

Luna's claws struck the steel-like scales on the wyvern as she started clawing at the huge bird left and right viciously.

And when the wyvern finally caught up to her… Poof! She was gone!

She reappeared at its back again and did the same thing. She started appearing and disappearing and attacking the wyvern from all sides in a frenzy.

"How dare you attack my master! Die! Die! Die! Die, you overgrown lizard!" The usually adorable and lazy fox truly looked ferocious at the moment as she started mercilessly pummeling the wyvern.

And that too, her claws were not simple scratches. Each hit was infused with mana and fire essence. She also underwent training, well sort of, with the old elf and the results of the training were now clearly visible.

Each slash from the fox's paw streaked fire as it cut through the steel scales of the draconian beast. As if this was not enough, Luna opened her mouth and sent a huge jetstream of fire aiming right for the slit-like eyes that looked down upon her.

Meanwhile, Liam was not idle. He already arrived at the scene of the fight and ganged up together with Luna as he started attacking the wyvern from one side.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

The black dragon sword shone more resplendently than ever as it danced against the steel scales of the dragon. Liam was finally able to land some hits!

He as well unfused every single slash of the weapon with fire essence and each hit took a big chunk of health.

-10000

-12000

-8000

The damage numbers were popping off non-stop. The 10 million health of the Level 80 wyvern was finally beginning to leak.

In fact, after the training, his damage numbers should have been higher but the natural defense of a wyvern was too frightening. If he had used any other weapon than the black dragon sword, Liam wondered if he would have still been able to do so much damage.

But now was not the time to think about that. He didn't care how he managed it. By hook or crook, he wanted this beast badly.

With Luna attacking relentlessly from one side and him attacking non-stop from the other side, this finally seemed like it was going to happen!
