Chapter 1244: One Last Hunt 1
The Venomous Wyvern Nest was located very close to the southeast area of Agartha's walls, really well hidden between a lot of tall trees, and beneath the wall's shadows. It was certainly hard to find them, especially because Venomous Wyverns were also nocturnal creatures. Thankfully the city by itself already had a magic barrier through the improved wall I made, which was then further enhanced thanks to mom and the alchemists she contracted.
So despite wanting to, the Venomous Wyverns can't get inside and begin stealing people that wander at night or something. However, it's a different story for the people that goes to hunt outside, such as Hunters, Adventurers, Explorers, or anything.
They could also become a threat to any people that get here through the road. Their appearance was only detected recently though, like a week ago, so it's better to get them out of the picture before they worsen the security of Agartha's outskirts.
"It seems quiet, are they sleeping?" Mist wondered.
"Yeah, I am fairly sure they sleep at day and go out at night..." I nodded. "Though, there might be a sentinel awake inside, protecting the entrance."
"So what do we do? We storm in?" Zack was eager.
"No, wait, if we do it rashly, they're all going to panic and escape into the skies, and it'll become harder to catch them that way," I explained to Zack. "We need to sneak inside and seal the entrance with a strong barrier or something. My barriers are not the best out there, Mist, can you do it?"
"If it's a barrier, no problem! I've been honing my defensive magic for years now with your mom's help!" Mist nodded. "I've evolved my Light Barrier Spell several times because I keep adding a lot of Light Runes to it, hehe."
"I guess we got our Barrier Specializer right here," nodded Aquarina. "Should I help you guys sneak in then? I'll use Abyssal Embodiment's shadows."
"Sure, let's do it," I nodded.
"Wait, can't we go?" Zephy asked.
"I also want to fight and hunt some wyverns!" Celica said. "Maybe like that I can earn more money for my savings!"
"Oh right, I guess you two can come? Yeah," I nodded. "Sorry for not including you, but I thought that it might be better to leave Mist with some additional protection... Alright, I'll leave her with Violet, Glutton, and Furoh, that'll be enough."ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels
"You're too overprotective, Sylphy..." Mist blushed a bit. "I'll be fine alone!"
"You never know though," I said. "I know you'll be fine, but if you get distracted the barrier might go out and the wyverns will escape. So I'll leave these bodyguards so that doesn't happen... I'm just being considerate Mist; I am not looking down on you. Even I get distracted and end up with my spells being dispelled."
"Alright, alright, I get it," she nodded. "But I get to hunt the boars later! I want to practice my new Magic Bow techniques."
The shadows opened within mere seconds, as all five of us jumped out of then with weapons
at hand. The wyvern sentinel panicked, suddenly spreading out its wings while crying.
"CRAAAH! CRAAAH! CRAAAH!
The rest of the wyverns quickly woke up and panicked, but after a second of that scream, the sentinel's head was sent flying into the air.
SLASH!
With a single swung of my new, giant Scarlet, I easily beheaded it before it could keep making a fuss, crimson flames and golden lightning erupting with that single attack, quickly impacting the other Wyverns.
BOOOM!
They panicked, two of them were hit and fell into the ground, still alive but confused and slightly paralyzed.
"SHAAAH!"
Three more arrived from above, their large talons showing their sharp claws, about to tear us
to shreds as quickly as they could.
Nah, that's not happening!
ВАААМ!
I put myself in front of my friends, summoning the giant Sapphire, her enormous defenses
easily tanked all three wyverns at the same time.
And then, I sent back all that impact to them.
