Dragon King's Harem Chapter 71. The Wyvern Huge Feast II
"Runnn!!!!" A scream of one of them startled the others. Quickly, they pulled the reins in their hands and spurred their mounts.
Meanwhile, I glided and extended my hand to them as I used my Telekinetic on one of the lizardmen.
'Telekinetic!'
[A person is in your control!]
[Warning! Your target level is above your level, this skill will break in 3 seconds! ]
Like before, I moved my hand up, throwing that lizard man's body into the sky. That was followed by a terrifying scream and another cracking sound, indicating that the Wyvern had gotten his second meal.
The thieves galloped on their mounts in fear, breaking through the trees and bushes. Occasionally, they swept their gazes around and into the sky, confirming my and the Wyvern's position. Their arrows flew to take us down, but since they had to keep moving, they had a hard time pinpointing their target.
Meanwhile, I chased them from above, taking cover among the leaves that covered the sky. My weapons floated around me, shielding me from their attacks, though I mostly dodged them. My eyes were fixed on one of the lizardmen. As he was in the narrow open field, I waved my hand, launching my lance at him.
[You have stabbed a Lizard Tribe for 551.]
My lance stabbed his back. He lost his balance and fell. Then I simply finished him off like before, using my Telekinetic to throw his body into the sky and feed him to the Wyvern.
Realizing their survival chance was slim, one of them shouted.
"Spread!" At this point, they had stopped attacking us and focused on escaping.
After that word left his mouth, the three of them scattered in different directions.
Again, I whistled, ordering the Wyvern to stop two of them. While I chased the others. Quickly, the Wyvern flew above them, covering the forest with his shadow and passed both of them before they completely dispersed.
"Graaaaahhhh!" The Wyvern roared loudly as he landed in front of the two Lizardmen, blocking them from escaping. The fallen trees under the Wyvern's feet also blocked their path, leaving them no choice but to stop. At the same time, a scream sounded, accompanied by a body that flew at the Wyvern. The Wyvern opened his mouth.
- Kraakkkk!
Another cracking sound came as the Wyvern chewed the Lizardman a whole.
"Return the egg, then I'll spare your life," I threatened. I flew toward them and stopped in the mid-air not far behind them. I knew one of them had taken the egg from the leader's pouch.
Without saying anything, they waved their hands and used their Stone Control. The rocks around us launched into me and the Wyvern's eyes. Quickly, I cancelled my Mana Weapon and used my Telekinetic to stop it. In an instant, all of the rocks stopped in the mid-air.
[14 rocks are in your control. ]
"Graaaaahhhh!" The Wyvern roared and shook his head side to side, trying to get rid of the things that had just hit his eyes.
At the same time, they pulled the reins in their hands and spurred their mounts in the other direction. Before they could escape, I swung my hand again, throwing the rocks at them. But instead of targeting the riders, my target was their mounts.
[You have hit a Mad Boar for 15.] X9
[You have hit a Mad Boar for 17.] X5
Even though the damage wasn't much, the rocks managed to make those Mad Boars panic and knock down their riders. Without giving them a chance, I used my Mana Weapon again and threw my lance and my sword at one of them.
[You have cut a Lizard Tribe for 557.] X2
While my double swords launched at the other.
In a panic, the last Lizardman took out the Wyvern egg and his dagger. His back was against the big tree behind him. His eyes looked at me and the Wyvern in fear.
My double swords stopped in front of him since the tip of his unsheathed dagger was already on the egg. My feet landed on the ground and I approached him in caution.
"Return the egg, then I will spare your life," I repeated in a cold voice. My eyes looked at him in displeasure. Accompanied by a bumping sound not far from us.
- Bruk!
His dying friend fell to the forest ground and groaned in pain. His blood flowed, soaking the soil.
Meanwhile, as the Wyvern's vision returned, he focused his attention on that last thief accompanied by his roar of anger. Moreover, he immediately recognized the egg in the thief's hand.
"Back off or I'll destroy it!" that thief replied to my threat with another threat. His eyes that looked at me and the Wyvern showed how serious he was.
My steps stopped. I watched that l
Lizardman for a while, especially his clothes and knife. Although a cloak covered his inner clothes, it was a rare cloak that had fire resistance. It was commonly used by the noble knights of other tribes, very different from the usual hunter's cloak. In addition, his dagger was not an ordinary one. Its tip was very sharp and the blade was made of rare materials. The dagger was sharp enough to penetrate the thick eggshell in one stab.
"... Fine," I said as I dismissed my double swords that were in front of him. I decided to find out more information about the thieves since they didn't seem like ordinary thieves or hunters. Still, I didn't want to take the risk and let my efforts go to waste, so I quietly moved my lance and sword behind him.
I raised my hands above my shoulders and opened my palms to show that I didn't want to attack him again.
"I want to talk," I said.
And he answered me with a glare.
"But I don't want it," he hissed in fear and anger.
"Now, back off!" he shouted as he brought his dagger closer to the egg.
"Grrrraaahhhh!!!!" that Wyvern roared again or rather cried since his voice sounded sad.
But I didn't move from my position.
"Wyvern egg hunting is illegal now. After all, its benefits are just lies and you won't be able to sell it to anyone. Not even the black market wants it. Just return the egg, I'll spare your life," I tried to bargain.
"I said back off!" he shouted again.
The Wyvern cry came again from behind me. While I sighed in annoyance.
"Fine. You left me with no other choice then." I moved my finger and my two weapons slid to the Lizardman's both sides.
[You have stabbed a Lizard Tribe for 555.] X2
That announcement appeared as that egg and dagger slipped from his hands. The Wyvern eggshells were very thick and required a special blade to crush them, so this wouldn't hurt the egg. That Lizardman glanced down, looking at his stomach that had been pierced by my weapons before falling to the ground. While the egg was rolled to my feet.
I took the egg and returned my gaze to him. A smirk on my lips. Meanwhile, as soon as the Wyvern realized his child was safe, he opened his mouth and swallowed the other dying thief in one bite.
"If you tell me who ordered you, I will let you go," I said straight to the point at the last Lizardman in front of me. From their clothes and weapons, I was sure someone ordered them to do it.
Without a hostage and with a badly injured condition, his panic and fear were clearly visible on his face.
"I-It's the Baron," he said in a stammering voice.
"Which Baron? What's his name?" I said with a frown. I was not sure what he meant was the Dragon Tribe nobles.
"B-Baron Gawyn Lizardflaw, sir," he said again.
