Chapter 70. The Wyvern Huge Feast I

Dragon King's Harem Chapter 70. The Wyvern Huge Feast I

With that answer, now I understood why he left his habitat and went to this cold place. Although dangerous, Wyvern eggs were considered a nutritious food to increase stamina and strength. Even that old belief had made Wyverns almost extinct several hundred years ago due to the massive hunting of Wyvern Eggs. Unfortunately, that belief was wrong. Wyvern eggs were just ordinary food, it didn't even deserve to be called food because Wyverns weren't the kind of monster that the humanoid tribe could eat. That creature's skin was too tough and his flesh consisted of muscles that were hard to digest, even for the Dragon tribe. It was the same with the Wyvern Egg. Only a few predators could eat Wyverns and they usually did it only if there was no other food around them. Regarding why it was the male Wyvern who was looking for his child, not the female. That was because the female usually couldn't leave the nest after laying her eggs. Usually, because her condition was too weak, besides that she also had to warm and take care of the other eggs.

As that Wyvern flew low from exhaustion, my gaze shifted downwards, ensuring that Eir and the others continued their journey smoothly. After confirming that there were no monsters near them, thanks to the Wyvern's roar, I decided to tell the creature that I would help him. But before I whistled, I detected an attack from another side of me. Reflexively, I stretched out my hand and used my skill.

'Mana Barrier!'

[A barrier has been formed.]

Which was followed by another announcement.

[A sleeping arrow has hit your barrier, mana barrier energy 3/4.]

It was clear from the announcement that someone had attacked us and I guessed it was the thief. And this attack explained why he disappeared earlier. It was because the thief's arrow hit his weak point and made him fall asleep. And I guessed the thieves also tried to kill him, luckily he woke up before they managed to do it.

I moved to the other side to see where the attack came from. As my eyes scanned the forest below me, two arrows flew towards us again.

[A sleeping arrow has hit your barrier, mana barrier energy 2/4.]

[A sleeping arrow has hit your barrier, mana barrier energy 1/4.]

From a distance, my sight caught six lizard tribes on their mounts, Mad Boars. Like the Dragon tribe, the Lizard tribe had faces and hair like ours with long ears like an elf's. What distinguished us was their tail had a specific green colour, while Dragon tribes tail was either grey or black. And the scales that covered their tails were also thinner and resembled a snake's. Also, the Lizard tribe couldn't fly like the Dragon Tribe. While their mount, Mad Boar, was a wild boar-shaped monster the size of an adult bull with a pair of tusks that stuck out from its lower jaw upwards.

I put my head beside the Wyvern's ear and whistled, telling him the thieves' location. That creature gasped in shock and turned his gaze to that group of Lizard Tribes. A roar of anger came out from his mouth as he flew towards them fiercely. Unfortunately, I knew the Wyvern couldn't attack the thieves, because if he attacked with his skill he would hurt the egg too.

[Your mana barrier has been destroyed.]

As my Mana Barrier was destroyed, I created another Mana Barrier to protect ourselves from their arrows. Then I used my skill on one of them that looked like their leader.

'Analyze!'

[Name: Guyat Snaketide]

[Age: 319]

[Level 68 ]             [Tribe: Lizard]

[HP: 2620/2620] [Mana: 939/939]

[ATK: 565]             [M.ATK: 213]

[DEF: 204]

[Skills: Power Up, Stun Attack, Poison Breath, Pierce, Stone Control, Double Arrow, Quicksand]

[Emotion: Panic.]

[Condition: Normal.]

I also checked the others, but their level was lower than the leader.

'Then I will take care of the leader first.' And I was sure the leader had the egg. I admitted they had a pretty high level for thieves. But I guessed they were high-level hunters. I brought my face closer to the side of the Wyvern's face and gave him a few pats. I didn't know if he could understand it or not, since this command was usually given to the tame Wyvern. But I told him I would help him and asked him to trust me.

Without waiting for his response, I released my grip on him and spread my wings, gliding swiftly at the thieves. My eyes locked at the thieves like a predator aiming for its prey. Noticing my presence, the thieves' concentrations shifted to me. Their arrows flew at me and instead of using my Barrier, I used my other skill.

'Mana Weapon.' I summoned all my weapons except my guns and bazooka. Then I controlled them by using my Telekinetic as I waved my hand to move them.

- Clang! - Clang! - Clang!

All my weapons floating in front of me brushed off all the arrows. Then I moved all my weapons to chase them. As expected, their attention was focused on the weapons. They shouted something in panic and spurred their mounts to get away from me. Meanwhile, I chased them from above, taking cover among the leaves that covered the sky. My eyes were fixed on the Lizardmen who were rushing through the forest, my target was their leader. And I just needed a chance for that.

"Graaaaahhhh!" The Wyvern's roar startled them. As their concentration broke, I quickly took advantage of it.

'Mana Barrier!'

A barrier formed in front of the leader. But instead of putting it off the ground, I created a big gap under the barrier. That gap was high enough for his mount to pass but not the rider.

- BRAK!

A crashing sound came as the leader crashed into my barrier. While his mount continued to move forward.

[Guyat Snaketide has hit your barrier, mana barrier energy 3/4.]

Quickly, I slid at him. My hands were already covered by my gauntlets with sharp claws pointed at him.

[You have cut a Lizard Tribe for 559.] X2

In one swift movement, I swung my claws in cross-motion, creating two large diagonal cuts that tore through his chest. His blood was coming out of there.

Then without giving him a chance, I stabbed my claw into his stomach.

[You have pierced a Lizard Tribe for 591.]

[A Lizard Tribe is in bleeding effect.]

[His HP will decrease by 3 points per second ]

[His speed will decrease by 50%.]

Blood dripped from his mouth as he looked at me in anger.

"Stupid Dragon Tribe..." he hissed in displeasure.

"Tell me, where's the egg? I'll spare your life," I said in displeasure.

The leader answered me by swinging his morning star. Quickly, I pulled my claw and flicked my wings to glide backwards.

"Fine. I'll figure it out myself," I muttered. I guessed it was in the pouch on the side of his mount's saddle.

He used his Stone Control. The rocks around us drifted towards me. I flicked my wings once again to bring my body up when those rocks collided beneath me, as well as several arrows from his subordinates. As I flew up, I used my Telekinetic on that lizard man.

[A person is in your control!]

[Warning! Your target level is above your level, this skill will break in 3 seconds! ]

With all my strength, I raised my hand, throwing the leader's body into the sky.

"Arrrhhhhgggggg!!!!!" he screamed in horror as he turned to his side and realized that the Wyvern had already opened his mouth.

- Krakkkkk!

In one fell swoop, the Wyvern crushed the Lizardman flesh and bones. His blood filled the Wyvern's mouth. After the Wyvern swallowed his sudden lunch, a roar escaped his mouth as he flew around me like an impatient dog waited for his master to feed him. Meanwhile, I floated in the mid-air and smirked at the Wyvern.

"Be patient, you will have a huge feast today." Then I shifted my gaze at the remaining lizardmen who looked at me in horror.
