Chapter 215 Huge Wyvern



They have now arrived in a pocket dimension where a sage lives here for a long time. He was a man with such powerful magical abilities that he was able to create a place undetectable by Celestials and their followers.

But that man was Maethion's teacher. When Maethion was able to reach a level of power that allowed him to enter the ranks of members of the Senior Council, his master had created the pocket dimension.

Unfortunately, no matter how strong the sage was, he couldn't stop the Selection Stage or fight the Celestials head-on.

He can already reach a level of power without the power of the system and his magical ability is already reached this level. 

Because of that sage and a few others who possessed the same level of power, the Senior Council knew that the other residents of Sivagadh Fortress would be able to reach great levels of strength without relying on the power of the system.

Of course, Maethion had persuaded his master to join the Senior Council and help them resist the Celestials. 

However, the sage didn't want to get involved in that anymore and preferred to be alone in his pocket dimension after losing his family in the Selection Stage.

And of course, Maethion no longer forced him after all this time. Because Maethion knew that he couldn't change his master's decision after he made up his mind.

But that doesn't mean their relationship is bad. Maethion was still on good terms with the sage so they were able to get this information.

"What's his name?" Albert asked.

"Olaflyn," answered Clyde.

Albert nodded. "Just from hearing his name, I can feel the ability of a sage."

"You do?" Wiley turned to him with a skeptical look.

"Yeah." Albert nodded. "Olaflyn. Have you been with that name anywhere before?"

"No. That's a weird name."

"Exactly. A name like that only belongs to people who have reached a certain level."

Albert and Wiley continued to engage in unimportant conversations the whole way through the woods. Leon, Rosie, and Lola eventually joined in. But Clyde didn't because he was busy looking at the map in his vision.

The map was given by Maethion by sending his memory essence into Clyde's head. Maethion doesn't use the system but he can do that indicating that his ability is extraordinary.

After that, Clyde saw the map appear in his system. He looked at the map like a modern map one would see with a modern GPS device. On the map, he could see their position and the position of where they were going.

Maethion said something to him a few days before they departed.

'Without a map from me, it would be impossible to find his residence. But you have to be careful. He is one grumpy old man and he hates it when people disturb his solitude.'

His last words made Clyde wince knowing this would be a bit of a hassle. Maethion said, they just had to take information from the sage. It seems easy, it's not something that requires them to muster enough strength.

But Clyde's thoughts immediately changed when Maethion said the nature of the sage who likes to be left alone and hates being disturbed by people he doesn't know. 

That meant the sage would do whatever he could to keep them away from his very own pocket dimension.

So the need to level up and gather enough strength now seems very reasonable. Maybe even it has become a necessity.

When Clyde glanced again at his map, he saw something flashing there. Since this map was created from Maethion's memories, it also contained his knowledge of this world. That memory is converted into data like the GPS display that Clyde is currently looking at.

So Clyde could also see what was approaching through a part of Maethion's understanding of this place that also entered into the map.

"Something's coming toward us," said Clyde.

His words made them all freeze.

"What's that?" Lola asked with a worried tone. She suddenly tightened her grip on her crossbow by reflex.

"I don't know. But whatever it is, we definitely don't want us to be here."

"The sage sent it?" Rosie asked.

"Of course. Who else wouldn't want us here?" Clyde replied. "Get ready to fight."

They all readied their weapons and prepared for the approaching threat.

*WUSH!*

*WUSH!*

*WUSH!*

*WUSH!*

The sound of the wind being fanned by something huge rang out. At first, they only felt a small gust of wind that was not much different from the wind they had felt in this place since they arrived.

However, a few seconds later, the wind became bigger along with the fanning sound which also sounded louder. And then...

"GRAAAHHH!!!"

A gigantic flying monster soared in the sky above them. It was a red Wyvern with a body-sized fourteen meters from tail to snout. It has a wingspan of 17 meters from one end to the other.

"I-Its huge!" Wiley said with widened eyes.

"No shit!" Rosie retorted fiercely. "What should we do?"

Clyde stared at the giant Wyvern. It circled in the sky and then flew back towards them. Suddenly, it opened its mouth.

"Run! The monster will shoot something," said Clyde.

So without wasting any more time they immediately ran. And sure enough, a fireball with a diameter of three meters shot toward them.

*BOOM!*

The fireball created a devastating explosion. Trees and chunks of dirt flew into the air. After that, the fire also spread from the center of the explosion to the surroundings.

The red Wyvern was still flying in the air with its predatory eyes constantly moving around looking for its prey.

*SWISS!*

Suddenly, a pink arrow shot toward its wing. The Wyvern was able to notice it fast enough for it to dodge sideways.

Meanwhile, down in the wood, Lola clicked her tongue in annoyance because her shot missed her target. Beside her, Wiley patted her on the shoulder and said. "A little bit to the left."

Lola clicked angrily. "I know!"

The wyvern dived so it could search for them with a better view.
