Chapter 485 Silverwing I



Evan remembered Griselda's backstory in the game; where it was stated that the 'Unimaginably Powerful existence' that made her feel like nothing more than an ant waiting to be crushed before its might was what lit the fire of her desire for power.

In the game, when Griselda returned to the Alpha continent years later, she searched for Hydran, trying to see how the power she now possessed fared in comparison to him.

It wasn't explicitly stated that the being whom she met on the Alpha continent in her teenage years was Hydran, but the description she gave when she was searching for Hydran is what led players to figure out it was him.

She had stated she was looking for an 'Unimaginably powerful Existence' residing on the Alpha continent, and as for the description of this being;

It was something that had the head of a reptilian creature, with golden slit pupils and just the size of its head alone, was over a hundred metres.

The body of this being even when folded multiple times, was enough to fit into mountains that towered 5000 metres above the ground, and yet, it still even had to dig into the ground for hundreds, possibly even thousands of kilometres.

It was an existence that if it were to ever move, was capable of flattening everything within tens of thousands of miles with its massive body; the surroundings would be destroyed and people would die faster than ants being squashed.

When the people of Aidos heard that description, they were confused, but the players of the game at that time knew exactly what Griselda was describing.

It was the true body of one of Aidos' Defence Mechanisms; the Ouroboros of Water and Lightning, Hydran Iremith.

Griselda had seen the visage of Hydran's true form and that alone was just as effective in intimidating her as what Evan had done.

ƥandasnovel·ƈom However, due to Eliza's presence here, Hydran had left to go and visit 'an old friend', so Griselda was spared the sight of his ridiculous true body.

Even so, Evan feared that not receiving that 'Intimidation' from an 'Unimaginably Powerful Existence', was going to change Griselda's future negatively and give Aidos on less Sovereign Level existence to combat the demons.

'As such, I took it upon myself to act as that 'Unimaginably Powerful Existence' to her.

I mean, if I wanted to just simply show her that I was stronger, then using a 'little' burst of energy would have been enough.

There would have been no need to turn Intimidation up to the max and even infuse the essence of destruction.

But I had to do that, to simulate what she would have felt when seeing Hydran.'

Such were the thoughts going through Evan's head as he faced the gazes of Eliza, Kayla and Milena who were clearly thinking he just wanted to show off.

'I wouldn't deny that was part of the reason though.

Anyway, when Griselda returns, she would be looking for an 'Unimaginably Powerful Human', named Evan and with my crest, it'd be easier for her to find me.

Hopefully, I possess InterContinental Authority, and at least Sovereign Level power by then, it'd be easier for me to prevent Rathal from killing her on sight, and her 'connection' with me would serve as the Conduit to bring the Vampires into the coalition forces to fight against the demons.'

"Anyway…*cough* *cough* Enough talk about Griselda.

How about we discuss the master of this Cavern that we're gonna be facing in a few minutes?"

Evan diverted the topic of discussion from the Vampire Griselda, to the more pressing situation at hand.

"You did speak about something called Silverwing. What's that?"

"For starters…it's a creature that has the colour silver on its wings. That much was obvious."

"No shit, Sherlock."

Eliza rolled her eyes as she replied to Evan, using a statement that Evan hadn't heard ever since he come to Aidos.

"Did you just say Sherlock?"

"Did I stutter?"

"Were you referencing a Legendary Great Consulting Detective called Sherlock?"

"Evan. That's just a novel."I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

"Oh…"

Hearing Eliza's reply, Evan wondered if someone from Earth V reincarnated on Aidos in the past or so. But seeing as that was not important, he turned his focus back to info dumping them about Silverwing.

"Anyway, here are Silverwing's skills and magic."

They spent the rest of the way down the majestic frozen hallway, talking about the Event Boss, Silverwing, and just when Evan was about to tell them about its Unique Skills, they arrived at the Boss Room.

Evan pulled out the unforged from the get-go, as he had zero plans on holding back for this fight. He was going to return to top condition right after anyway so it didn't really matter.

Seeing this, Eliza readied the Memoria, checking her status and seeing the 'A' that sat in her Energy tab, recharging her Skill Charges and gazing at the massive space in front of them.

She scanned their surroundings cautiously but there was no semblance of any monsters in the large circular space in front of them.

Like the hallways they were in before, there were glowing blue crystals set in the walls, but this time there was no ceiling at all.

Snowflakes gently glided down from the sky, covering everything in a layer of snow.

Looking forward, there was an extra-large crystal formation on the far wall – and a giant bird's nest on top of it.

But that nest was unoccupied–

–For now.

There seemed to be some sort of boundary line separating the hallway they were in from this circular space.

Evan casually walked closer to it, eventually crossing it but once he took five steps beyond the line, he stopped.

Following him, Eliza, Kayla and Milena also did and looked at him in confusion, but it did not take them long to realise why.

"Brace yourselves."

"?....?!"

"GROARRR!!"

At that instant, a deafening roar exploded overhead, and together with it, something plunged down at a high speed towards the hall from high up in the sky.

But since they were on alert, they were able to jump out of the way and dodge.

**BOOOMM!!!

Five massive jagged pillars of ice smashed down onto where they were merely a second ago, blasting the entrance to the hallway to bits.

Following that, a 'creature' swooped down onto the nest in front of them.

It had feathers as white as snow, with silver patterns on its two outstretched wings that were almost a hundred metres in wingspan.

Glaring eyes, sharp beaks, and talons bearing the dignity of the strong.

There was a piercing gleam in its eyes, every bit as sharp as its beak and talons. Its entire form radiated power.

With the grandeur of the powerful, this Monster Bird descended upon the nest.

Diplomacy was clearly not an option.

The fight had already begun.
