Chương 702: 702 Playing with fire

Somewhere in the land of elves…

Aeck!

Ahhhhhh!

Noooooo!

Gorak and Gu Donghai screamed one after the other as their peaceful, lazy life as neglected soul minions suddenly became a nightmare.

Without giving them any chance to breathe or take a break, Liam continued summoning and dismissing the duo repeatedly as he baited them again and again for the steel-skinned wyvern.

There were two things that he wanted to confirm.

One was whether the same wyvern approached the intruder every time, and the second was whether it always came alone or came with a company when there were more soul minions.

Liam fiddled with this same setup for a couple of hours, and every time only the single wyvern showed up without any complaint.

"I guess this is as sure as I am ever going to be?" He stretched his hands in contemplation as the main part of the show was about to start now.

"Luna, are you ready?"

Kyu!

The little fox confidently glared at the skies. Dragon… smagon! She was better than all of them!

And then started the fireworks!

The fox quickly puffed up, going from being a small, cuddly baby to a bigger, elegant, and more majestic beast. She bared her teeth and took a threatening step forward, as one of her tails already lit up.

Growl!

Luna blurred and reappeared in the scorched lands. She arrogantly snorted and took another step forward when the sky above started to show movement.

Within seconds, a huge shadow appeared looming over the fox, and Liam immediately acted.

"Now!"

Growl! Luna opened her mouth, and a big jet of flames roared loudly. The fox absolutely showed no fear in the presence of the powerful and intimidating wyvern.

The split-like eyes of the beast showed surprise as it roared again and dove toward the fox. A single flap of its wings was enough to split apart the sea of flames that covered its vision.

But Luna was not done yet. She let out a low growl and once again used the same attack. However, this time she took a step back.

ROAR!

The wyvern ignored the flames and flapped the attack aside like it was nothing. It roared loudly, watching the fox with its eyes full of fury.

The draconian creature was only used to beasts fleeing at its sight. So its pride was wounded by the little fox's defiance, and it sped toward the fox with an angry glare.

[That's enough. Get back!] Liam, who was watching this, quickly communicated with Luna mentally. Their aim was to get the attention of the beast, and it looked like they had accomplished it quite well, more than they had hoped for.

Naturally, Luna added her own spice to this command. The fox grinned and shook its butt at the mighty draconian beast before teleporting back to the forest.

ROAR!

The wyvern was now furious. The beast stormed forward, not caring anymore whether it was in the scorched land boundary or the forest. First of all, it had no rules. This was merely an act of mercy, and since these two cretins couldn't respect it, none was necessary.

It did not care if it destroyed the entire forest, today it was going to tear this silly fox apart, along with the human who had bothered it for the last few hours.

Naturally, the wyvern was not a fool. It could see the ploy as clear as day. The two cretins were trying to lure it, a mighty draconian beast! And now, it was time to pay the price for their actions!

Zing! It flapped its blade like steel wings and blasted through the forest. It aimed for the spot Luna had reappeared, wanting to ram and make a meatpaste of the fox.

Luna as well did not show any signs of moving. The steel-skinned wyvern and the fluffy fox were about to collide, and when they did…

BANG!

A loud, ungodly sound echoed in the forest.

The wyvern's slit-like eyes widened as it noticed something blocking its path. It actually hadn't crashed into the fox. Rather, a mana barrier had appeared in front of it, protecting the fox at the last moment.

"Luna, attack using full power now!" Liam shouted. While holding on to the barrier strongly, he also started casting another spell. The Howler demon summoning spell.

The wyvern was once again shocked. The puny human being in front of it could actually dual cast?

Liam gritted his teeth. Yes, he could dual cast. This was the second thing he had learned from the old elf, but his mastery of this was not nearly enough.

Even so, he tried his best to hold back the steel-skinned wyvern while the fox, the howler demon, Crawford, and a group of soul minions started attacking the wyvern.

ROAR! The draconian creature was furious.

Ants! Ants! Everyone in front of it was nothing more than ants! And they dared to stand up to its might and attack? Blasphemy! It felt the sting of the numerous smaller attacks and roared loudly.

Immediately, the entire forest was enveloped in a strange pressure. Today, the beast would show the difference between an inferior being and a superior being!

Draconian beasts were naturally blessed with a tremendous amount of mana. Want to hold back a wyvern with a crude mana barrier? Dream on!

Liam saw that the huge beast was getting ready to send them both to the side of the dead, so he told Luna to use her ability to teleport right away.

The fox understood, and the second phase of their plan started. The very next second, Luna madly started appearing and reappearing all over the forest.

Poof! Pop! Poof! Pop! Poof! Pop! Poof! Pop!

One second she was here and the next second she was there. She appeared and disappeared at lightning speed.

Roar! The wyvern raged in anger. The ants were using petty tricks, but in front of absolute strength, all of these tricks would be useless!

With another flap of its wing, it broke and shattered the mana barrier. It then turned its attention towards the human being who was hell-bent on infuriating it.
