Chapter 107: A-Rank Monsters(2)
It took several hours and many turns, but Leo and Nina eventually made it to the end of the turning tunnel.
“Let’s rest here for a bit.” Leo suggested when they reached the end of the tunnel, which led them to another cavern.
“This place seems much more spacious than the previous area. I can’t even see the ceiling from here.” Nina said as her head tilted all the way back from trying to locate the ceiling.
“I’m not surprised. We did travel miles to reach this point.” Leo said.
“I’m going to scout ahead.” Lilith said before flying off again.
“Here’s some food.” Leo handed Nina some high-quality MRE.
“Thank you.”
After consuming the food, Leo asked Nina, “How is your potion supply?”
“I still have plenty of mana and energy potions. What about you?”
“I’m a little low on mana potions, but I have plenty of energy potions,” he said.
“Do you want me to give you some of my mana potions?”?? ? ?? n ? ???
“No, it’s fine. I don’t really need them.”
“Then let me know when you do.” Nina said.
“I will.”
Sometime later, Lilith returned to report her findings, “I couldn’t see any monsters or traps, but there’s a lot of minerals and ores. I don’t know much about them, though.”
“Is that so…”
Leo turned to Nina and said, “Since we don’t know what’s ahead of us or what to expect, let’s walk slower, and I want you to stay behind me.”
“Okay.” She nodded.
“Are you ready?”
“I am.”
“Then let’s go.” p??da n?vel
They left the tunnel and entered the massive cavern.
Since they didn’t know which direction to go, Leo decided to follow one side of the wall until they reached the exit. This way, they would avoid getting lost in the middle of this vast cavern.
Furthermore, his only goal was to reach the end of this cave and fight whatever was there to complete the special quest.
After following the right side of the cavern walls for an hour, they came to a sudden halt when they noticed a large figure up ahead.
“What kind of monster is that?” Leo asked Nina in a whispering voice.
“I’m not sure… I can’t see it well from here.”
“Let’s get a closer look.”
p ?? da n ?v el They slowly approached this figure until they could see it clearly.
This figure looked like a lizard from a distance, but when they looked at it for a little longer, they noticed that it had two massive wings.
“Please tell me that’s not a dragon…” Leo said in a trembling voice, as he was very familiar with their figure. ,c,om
“A dragon? That’s not possible. Dragons should be much bigger than this— at least from what I heard. Judging by the size, it should be a—”
“A wyvern.” Lilith suddenly said.
“—wyvern.” Nina finished her sentence at the same time.
“Wyvern…?” Leo mumbled.
“I’m not sure what type of wyvern that is, but most wyverns are A-Rank monsters.” Nina said in a nervous voice.
“It’s a Black Wyvern. They’re classified as A-Rank monsters. In terms of prowess, they’re on the weaker side compared to the majority of wyverns out there.” Lilith, on the other hand, recognized the monster.
“Do you think I will be able to defeat it?” Leo asked her.
“If you use magic and with the help of Nina, yes, you can defeat it,” Lilith nodded.
“What should we do? It’s blocking our path. If we want to continue going this way, we’ll have to deal with it.” Nina asked him after a moment of silence.
Leo narrowed his eyes at the wyvern and said, “We’re going to fight it and defeat it.”
“And how are we going to do that?”
“I’m going to use magic. However, this will mean that we won’t be able to record the fight since I have to keep the fact that I can use magic a secret.”
“That should be fine since it’s not a requirement to record our fights. However, some students might question our legality if we rank too high without any video footage.” Nina said.
“Who cares about what the other students think? As long as they don’t have proof that we cheated, there’s nothing they can do about it.”
“If you say so…”
“Also, give me a moment to prepare.” Leo said to her before opening up the Artifact Shop and quickly purchasing a weapon for 420 Magic Points.
[Void Staff: Increases the magic power of all dark magic by 35%]
He decided to purchase this artifact to increase his chances of defeating the Black Wyvern.
‘Let’s hope this won’t erase one of my swords because I am equipping another weapon over its slot..’ Leo prayed to himself as he equipped the Void Staff.
“Alright, here’s the plan. We’ll summon all of our skeleton mages in advance, and then we’re going to overcharge our spells. After we launch our attacks, we will have the skeleton mages bombard the wyvern just in case it manages to survive our attacks.”
“I understand.” Nina nodded with a serious look on her face.
The both of them summoned a total of 25 skeleton mages the following moment.
While the skeleton mages were on standby, Leo would take his time overcharging his Void Spear while Nina overcharged her own magic spell.
Several moments later, when they were at their limit, Leo and Nina attacked the unsuspecting wyvern with their overcharged spells.
Boom!
Their combined magic power created a massive explosion as well as causing the cavern to tremble like an earthquake.
However, they were not done, as the skeleton mages launched their own attacks at the wyvern the following moment.
The skeleton mages’ attack could not be compared to Leo and Nina’s combined power, but it should be enough to finish off a heavily injured wyvern.
Magic spells continued to rain down on the wyvern for a few more moments before stopping.
“Alright, let’s check its condition.” Leo said a moment after the attacks stopped.
Nina nodded, and they approached the cloud of dust together.
