Chapter 98: Monster Hunt, part 4/4
The forest's silence was violently shattered as a burst of azure light pierced through the thick canopy of trees. An orb, luminous and intense, soared skyward, casting eerie silhouettes of branches and leaves in its wake. Within moments, the tranquil ambiance of the forest was engulfed in an explosion of plasma, the reverberating boom echoing through the woods.
"Graaaa!" A deafening roar emerged from the fiery aftermath, and the wyvern's golden eyes, seething with a mix of fury and torment, fixed intently on Tia.

She floated above the ravaged forest, observing the aftermath of her attack.
'Hmm, I expected more from such advanced weaponry.'
With its scales charred and cracked, the beast lunged downward, the wind howling in its wake.
'I need to get down!' She had lost her opportunity for a one-hit kill and now was like a fish in a pond with a shark, floating open in the skythe natural territory of the wyvern.

Calculating the directions and angles in a split second, a wave of kinetic force smacked Tia down, sending her hurling to the ground, the tail slicing through the air above her like a giant scythe.
'Fire!' The blue lights flashed and pulsed once more as the floating guns in the sky fired, dozens of burning bolts blasting the wyvern just as it spun, ready to pounce at the still-rolling girl.
The bangs and flashes of light reverberated through the forest, submerging the beast in clouds of dust. The waves of heat washed over Tia, bringing adrenaline and excitement together with them.
'Are you finally done?'
With a wave of Tia's hand, a shockwave blasted toward the dust clouds, making the trees creak and crack. The dust, stirred by the crashing shockwave, dispersed, unveiling the scene of destruction.
Charred trees stood as blackened and scorched silhouettes. The ground was pockmarked with craters left by the plasma bolts, and the burned soil was dark and smoking.
'Finally, you are done.' Tia breathed out in relief, seeing the beast lying on the ground, more than half of its entire body seared and burned, smoke rising out of it.

'I will take heart, horns, claws, and some blood.' With a grin, she stood up from the dust, patting down her clothes. Her eyes glowed with greed and dopaminebefore her was no longer a beast but a pile of materials.
