Re: Evolution Online

Bang! Slash! Bang! Slash! Bang! Slash!

The wyvern's slit-like eyes growled in silent anger as it saw that it was being ganged up on by these two ants. They were using cheap tricks to pummel it from all sides. Worse, this was actually painful!

ROAR!

The draconian beast couldn't take it any longer and shook its body violently. It thrashed around its steel wings and tails in a frenzy and commanded the mana around it to make its natural weapons more deadly. 

Liam instantly took several steps back. He had a feeling that just one hit from its tail would be enough to one-shot him, so he did not take that risk. Luna as well instinctively did the same. 

The fox looked at Liam, and he nodded. They were in silent understanding of what to do next. When close combat was no longer possible, it was time to burn everything in sight!

Liam immediately unleashed the spell that he had been training for almost every day in the time-space with the old elf, [Fire Storm]. The fox also did the same. Huge raging flames appeared and engulfed the whole area in an instant. The heat in the air sky-rocketed.

Roar! The wyvern stopped throwing tantrums and let out a loud howl. Everywhere it could see, there were only flames. It was stinging from the many injuries on its body. Its health was also constantly dropping.

It no longer dared to be arrogant. It started hurriedly sucking in all the mana from the surrounding in an attempt to cast its own spell and thwart this attack.

And so, in the middle of the two fire tornadoes, another tornado appeared, sucking the air out of everything. This one was considerably bigger, threatening to tear everything apart. This was the natural skill of a draconian beast, head and shoulders above every other species.

However, at the moment, there was a stronger contender. 

Luna growled, sucking a big breath of air into her mouth, making her face all puffy. And the next second, the size of the dancing tornadoes started changing. Luna's firestorm started to become much much bigger.

Roar! The wyvern did not want to accept it. It once again tried to pull the mana to its will, only to find that the mana was not responding to it. 

The wyvern was shocked for the first time. It turned to look at the fox, wondering just what sort of a creature it truly was. Slash! While it let its defenses down for that second, Liam brought his sword down, aiming directly for the beast's neck.

The metal screeched against the steel scales and he definitely drew blood. He was tossed the next second down on the ground by the huge beast, but the damage was already done.

While the wyvern was focused on Liam, Luna did the chip damage, and while it was Luna's turn, Liam brought down the health of the beast little by little. The duo had perfect coordination as they danced circles around the wyvern.

The beast was completely overwhelmed. No matter what the wyvern tried, the damage was continuously accumulating. Soon it was down to the last few thousand.

At this point, the wyvern's eyes became completely bloodred as it raged loudly. The draconian beast seemed as if it had lost all sanity. Only survival was on its mind. A violent aura appeared around it and the ground started shaking. 

Trees were getting uprooted. The ground started peeling and rocks and sand were everywhere. A huge whirlpool of disaster started forming with the wyvern at the center.

Of course, Liam was not planning to stand on the spot and take the full brunt of this attack. There was no need to be a hero. He simply ran away, outside of the radius of the attack.

Both he and the fox stood on the outside and watched the destructive power of the wyvern. Its health was also going up slowly. Now, this was more concerning. Liam frowned. He could clearly see that their main challenge lay here.

When the wyvern finally ran out of energy, they needed to bring it down as fast as possible before it could cast this spell again. Otherwise, this fight would never end. Now it was all down to what was faster, the beast's recovery or their damage output.

Liam no longer held back as he summoned all of his soul minions and the Howler demon. They won't be able to hold out against the wyvern, but they are more than capable of doing some chip damage at the least.

And if it ended up in him getting this wyvern's soul, it was worth losing some of his soul minions!

The raging wyvern soon deflated, and the forest also calmed down. Liam narrowed his eyes at the panting wyvern. This was it. This was the sign!

"CHARGE!"

He shouted as all of his minions started pelting their attacks on the wyvern. 

Surprisingly, it was Luna who held the aggro in this particular fight, as the wyvern seemed to have something against her personally.

So no matter what angle Liam attacked, the wyvern only focused on the fox. This only made everything easier as he continued to attack to his heart's content.

The naughty fox also seemed as if she was completely enjoying herself. She used her teleportation ability non-stop as she drove the wyvern crazy.

The beast was soon back on its deathbed, with only a small percentage of its health remaining. Liam swung his sword at the same gaping wound on its neck repeatedly and used every last bit of strength he had.

The wyvern was struggling. It no longer had any energy or pride left. After getting pummeled, again and again, the draconian beast let out a loud roar as it was no longer able to fight back. Just one more attack and the beast would die.

KYUUUUUUU!

Luna shouted loudly in triumph as she prepared to send out another firestorm!

Liam also grinned, his body slumping from tiredness. It was over. They won. He didn't bother attacking, seeing that the fox was already ahead of him. Also, he was expecting something else to happen right now.

And just like he assumed… right at this crucial moment, something happened. A strange mist enveloped the place, and a dark elf appeared out of his cover of invisibility.

Dimitri grinned from ear to ear. Following Liam patiently up until now had finally paid off! 

The fox and the human being had fought tooth and nail with the wyvern, but it was he who was going to reap the rewards and have the final laugh! 

The elf dashed toward the weakened human being while sending out sizzling, deadly bolts of dark energy at the wyvern. This was going to be one shot with three kills!

He was going to get the wyvern's bounty and the last kill. He was going to slaughter the human being in order to exact his vengeance. And lastly, as a bonus, he would get the fox as his pet. The beast was clearly not an ordinary one, so he looked forward to taming it.

With his eyes full of dreams, Dimitri dashed forward in glee to change his fate. However, right at this time, a sword slashed through his throat, blood splattering everywhere.

The dark elf was completely dumbfounded. Because of the previous time he had faced off against Liam, his body was permanently damaged, but this plan was foolproof. He was sure to succeed. So what happened…

As his head rolled to the ground, his gaze shifted to Liam, who had not moved an inch from his spot. It was also not the fox as she floated up in the sky above the poison cloud. So who the hell killed him?

The dark elf's gaze finally landed on the other person or rather being standing near him, a white-colored entity, a soul minion.

"Good job, Crawford." Liam grinned. Naturally, he did not forget about this sneaky pest. So he had appointed Crawford to watch out for him since the fight began. How could he not take care of this variable?

As for kill stealing the wyvern, no matter how strong the poison was, it wouldn't be easy to bring down a draconian beast. So it was not dead yet.

Liam grabbed Dimitri's soul in one hand and quickly sent a [Dark Cutter] at the wyvern's bleeding wound. It was time to kill this wyvern.

However...

Before his attack could land, a huge bolt of lightning hit the wyvern right on its head, making the creature twitch in agony and let out its last dying breath.

Was it you who attacked? With his mouth agape, Liam turned to look at Luna, who was also looking at him in confusion. Neither of them had gotten that final kill! That could only mean someone else was here apart from them and the dead dark elf!

GROWL! Luna yelled out in fury.

Damn it! Liam jolted up in shock.

It did not take long for the two of them to spot this third party as a small figure emerged from the smoke, the dust, and the poison cloud, but this person was fast. He quickly disappeared, only his voice echoing in the silence of the aftermath. 

"So long suckers." 

A kid? He looked like a kid! Liam's face twitched. 

He was feeling too many things at the moment to focus on who this person was and what actually happened. Besides, he didn't have the luxury of doing that at the moment.

"Come out." He instantly summoned all of his soul minions to stand as guards and only focused on the soul hanging onto the dead wyvern's corpse.
