The audience was cheering for the guy but he clearly was dissatisfied with the fight.
The Wyvern howled in glory as he defeated one more challenger.
Next was one from Alikh. It was a beautiful girl with long flowing dark blue hair. It matched with the colors of her uniform.
She walked in with confidence as the barrier closed behind her. The wyvern as if mocking her crouched down waiting for her to make the first move as he must have realized that if all of his challengers were like the two from before he will need to do nothing as his body is strong enough to deal with their low damage.
The girl however started to run sideways making the wyvern turn his head to follow her movements.
Whenever she passed a location a small layer of fog was created leaving the beast puzzled from her erratic behavior. She circled the beast making the fog thicker. Then she suddenly pointed her hand toward the wyvern making the fog tremble slightly with her hands pulsating in a blue color.
Several water bolts struck the side of the ash wyvern as it was caught off guard from the damage that was dealt. Standing back hastily and clearly deciding to take the opponent seriously it howled making the fog clear away and giving him back vision that lasted only for few moments as the fog screen soon recovered and clouded its vision again.
Few more howls resulted in nothing but a frustrated wyvern and an ever so persisting screen.
More bolts found their way to the beast's sides as he once again wailed in agony.
The wyvern decided to no longer play it shook his scales once again making them gain an ember color.
It spat forward its breath attack but to no avail as it did not explode nor ignite.
The beast that seemed enraged started flapping its wings. Which is something I wondered why it has not done before as it clearly had more advantage in aerial battles.
The length of its wings was magnanimous and the pressure behind them was nothing to be underestimated as it blew the fog in matter of seconds revealing the girl below.
She was not surprised by the rise of the wyvern which by the way was looking down on her with eyes filled with hatred.
This time the wyvern opened its mouth and instead of casting his smoke breath it spat forward balls made of it.
The smoke balls had a tint of red inside them which started to ignite on the way to their target that was the girl who dodged at the last minute the first two balls making them collide with the hard floor.
Normally smoke should dissipate when in contact with solid surfaces. However these balls blew up making a small crater where they landed.
Still the girl was unfazed by this as she was already casting a spell. Using both her hands she conjured a blue colored Mahojin that shot forward a highly pressurized water stream that destabilized the beast that barely held his position up in the air.
The monster had a clear gash on his flank as the damage from that spell was apparent.
Congratulated by cheers from the audience and a threatening growl from the beast the girl changed once again her position.
But as I can clearly see that spell was not something simple. Having both the water and wind element in them she almost resembled Yuna with her hybrid Elemntum. But this girl clearly had the water element to be more dominant than the wind element.
The wyvern tried to fly higher but was met with resistance from the barrier. The Mages started mumbling something between them and forced the beast to lower its flying zone as he was pushed by the barrier downward. Finding nothing in its range it focused its gaze toward the girl that caused him his pain.
Few more smoke balls missed their target as the girl nimbly dodged the beast's attacks. While sending another pressurized attack toward the wyvern that must have learned from his mistake and decided to dodge by flapping his wings downward giving him the opportunity to dodge while ascending. Met again with the roof of the barrier the beast howled in discomfort and charged this time at the girl with his claws flung forward.
Its claws dug deep into the earth making the wyvern stuck momentarily in the ground. This gave the girl the chance to take a good shot at the beast's head with a well-aimed pressurized water stream.
Shaking the beast to the core that attack left a gash wound on its face and cracked one of his horns.
Now this is where things should become interesting.
The beast that normally should have fainted now looked at the sky and howled loud enough to make the entire arena shake.
His amber colored scales ignited with a brighter color while steam was seeping from between his pores.
The beast coiled its wings around itself and instantly expanded them making the air blow outward even changing the shape of the transparent barrier. The mages who once again reshaped the barrier into its former structure could almost be seen sighing in relief as this was clearly unexpected.
The beast was seen as his color turned from a formally dim ember color into a blazing one. The girl was clearly not expecting this as she started to unconsciously walk backwards clearly from fear and uncertainty.
Then once again she stepped forward and struck a water bullet into the beat's snout.
At first the water bullet made the wyvern flinch and the area that was damaged turned back to its former color but it soon reignited and changed to the blazing hot one.
Once again the girl shot multiple bullets that had the same effect as they were as effective as a drop of water inside a raging flame.
The beast this time had enough and charged forward at the girl, with unprecedented speed it head butted the girl sending her flying toward the barrier wall which she bounced back into the arena from.
The poor girl clearly unconscious never saw that coming. The thing is, she was still inside the arena and the beast placed one of his claws on her chest. It sniffed at her for a moment then howled as it opened its mouth trying to take a bite.
Fortunately it was struck by one of the mages at the side of the arena that made the beast flinch and squirm in pain. Removing its leg from the girl she was instantly teleported from under the beast.
Now it was my turn.
As I took a step forward I was stopped by a hand grabbing my shoulder.
A gentle hand that belonged to a gentle person.
It was Yuna who had a worried look on her face with a small tint of pink that was atop her cheeks.
She said
"Y-you should probably give up…I am sure if we talk to Vessma she can let you join in on the other games it does not have to be this one…this thing is really dangerous…didn't you say that you almost died facing a wyvern this one is a king class you should probably not risk being injured…even that barrier can't negate all the damage."
Oh she was worried about me…hmm how adorable.
"Thank you for worrying but have no fear. And one more thing that wyvern I hunted I was told that it also was king class sacred beast. And that happened when I was 12 years old. So just relax. I got this"
