Dragon King's Harem Chapter 69. Restless Wyvern III
I whistled a long certain tone, trying to communicate with the Wyvern again. Although some types of Wyverns had bad tempers, they would not get angry for no reason like this nor would they leave their habitat for no apparent reason. Besides, the fact that he kept circling and watching this forest indicated that he was looking for something here. And unfortunately, he found us, so we were his targets.
"Graaaaahhhh!!!" He answered me with a roar of anger. The roar was so loud and deafening to my ears. The wind from his wings fluttered the leaves and threw some branches. Some bird-shaped monsters flew away with their frightened chirps. The monsters that were about to approach us also fled in fear. From the tone of his roar, I could tell he was so furious to the point he didn't want to negotiate for any reason.
"Tsk!" I clicked my tongue in annoyance and turned my gaze on that creature.
'Analyze!'
[Name: Red Wyvern]
[Level 81]
[Type: Dragon]
[Element: Fire]
[Speed: Normal]
With his large size, I could already guess that Wyvern's level was above average. And as the status showed by my skill, Wyvern was the same type as the dragon tribe. The difference was that this creature had less intelligence than a dragon. He mostly acted with his beast instincts. Still, as befitted all dragon tribes, I was a little hesitant to kill him since dragons and Wyverns had the same relationship as humans and chimps. Even though they were beasts, we never saw them as enemies or equalled them with other monsters. Weird indeed, but this instinct was in every dragon.
I checked my surroundings with my Dragon Vision, making sure there were no monsters around us before I lowered my head to the side of my Yegaun's ear. I whistled again, gave him a simple order to change our formation and asked him to follow Eir.
"Kkkkkrrrr...." After my Yegaun replied with a growl, I turned to Eir.
"Eir, take the lead. Lead them out of this forest. I'll take care of the Wyvern!" I ordered. Without waiting for his answer, I opened my wings and flapped them, bringing my body upwards quickly. A strong wind brushed my face and body, opening my hood, ruffling my hair. Maybe this looked reckless, even the old me was not this crazy. But with my Fearless skill, fear and panic were not something that was in my dictionary right now. Besides I had predicted all the consequences for all the decisions and actions I took. Just like now, even though the Wyvern's level was much higher than mine, I knew the creature's weakness, also all the basic things to tame a Wyvern. After all, letting that creature follow us out of the forest was not a wise decision either since he could have unleashed his anger on the village near this forest later.
"Grrraaahhhh!!!" That Wyvern roared furiously as soon as he saw me launch at him. With our distance, I was able to get the size comparison of the Wyvern's body with mine now. Although his body was slightly smaller than an airplane, his mouth was big enough to swallow me whole. A burst of fire that came out of his mouth greeted me.
But instead of protecting myself with my barrier, I decided to avoid it. I flew to the side, dodging the fierce flames that tried to hit me. My wings continued to move, bringing my body closer to him, letting the flames from his mouth pass by my side.
Noticing I was approaching him, he flicked his wings to get away from me followed by his roar. At the same time, fireballs appeared around him. Without hesitation, I continued to chase him and used my Blazing Orbs skill to counter his Fire Ball.
'Blazing Orb!'
My forty-eight orbs appeared around me and launched towards him, so did I.
- Boom! - Boom! - Boom!
Explosions occurred in our midst as his orbs and mine met. The strong wind was blowing from where the explosions occurred. That wind even blew the branches of the trees below us. The smoke from the explosion covered our view. But with my Dragon Vision, I still could detect his movement. As I charged to him, he suddenly turned around and opened his mouth. I could see his sharp teeth and saliva in his mouth.
'Shit!' That was definitely out of my prediction. I stopped in the mid-air but it was too late, he flew towards me and grabbed me in one swift motion.
- Krakkkkk!
A cracking sound echoed in the sky. At the same time, an announcement appeared in front of me.
[Red Wyvern has bit your barrier, mana barrier energy 3/4.]
The smoke covering our bodies faded, revealing me standing between the Wyvern's sharp teeth with my Mana Barrier supporting the creature's mouth, preventing him from turning me as his lunch.
"Oh C'mon. My ancestors would laugh at me if I ended up in your stomach," I said in annoyance.
And my words were answered with a loud roar followed by fire coming out of his mouth.
"Ooopsss!" I flicked my wings to glide backwards, out of his mouth. Another announcement appeared before me.
[Red Wyverns Fire Burst has hit your barrier, mana barrier energy 2/4.]
That fire hit my barrier. His head moved side to side trying to release the barrier that was stuck in his mouth furiously. Meanwhile, I took the opportunity by flying above him. As soon as my feet landed on his head, I bent down my legs and approached his ear. My hand gripped the short Spike above his head.
Again, I whistled in a long tone in his ear, trying to communicate with him once more. My other hand patted his forehead in a certain rhythm to signify I had no bad intentions for him. And the whistling was just a simple question about what happened to him. Unfortunately, he still answered me with a roar of anger. His head moved wildly, trying to throw me off his head.
I gritted my teeth. My other hand held onto his other Spike as I maintained my balance, preventing myself from being thrown away. His other sharp spikes rubbed against my body, like a group of little monsters' claws. But since my Dragon Armor covered my whole body, his Spikes couldn't hurt me, not even a scratch. That Wyvern flicked his wings and flew fiercely through the clouds with high speed. His roar showed how angry he was. His mouth kept spewing fire, trying to break my barrier inside his mouth and his head kept moving side to side.
[Your mana barrier has been destroyed.]
"Stop being stubborn will ya!" I said in annoyance. My hands gripped his spikes tightly and my body was flung back and forth and rubbing against his spikes every time he moved.
After a few minutes of ferocious tantrums, his movements became a little calmer. It was a little odd since Wyverns should have huge stamina. But I guessed he ran out of steam since he came from far away. I brought my head closer to his ear and whistled once more.
This time he answered me with a small growl. An answer, not the rage and screams like before. Strange as it may seem, I could catch a message that told me that someone had stolen his egg.
