A few hours after the Dawn and Greed guild members fought, Myles and everyone else except Sercy was waiting at the portal. The dungeon behind them looked like a half-cut apricot and was giving off faint vapors, which suggested that it was a forever dungeon.“She’s taking so long,” Casey was growing impatient. “When are we going to enter the dungeon? I was so excited when I came here, but now… I’m feeling mentally tired.”“She said she’s going to talk with the bureau about this first,” Biskie said. “It’s understandable because she almost died.”“I doubt that the bureau will take a serious action,” Ria opined.“Why wouldn’t they?” Casey asked. “Fighting between guilds is prohibited, whether it’s inside or outside the dungeon. The rules clearly state that, and they attacked us when we tried to enter a dungeon that we booked. If the bureau doesn’t act even now, then they’re going to lose people’s trust.”“I agree with Casey,” Biskie said. “I think Sercy had to leave because she probably w
The moment Sercy and others entered the dungeon, they felt strong heat waves washing past their bodies, making them sweat very fast.However, it was the suffocating scenery before them that really grabbed their total attention. They were at the base of a chain of giant volcanic mountains which made low-vibrating noises all around. Moreover, they could see wyverns flying about high in the sky.“Wow…” Casey and Biskie’s mouths stayed open as there were at least two dozen dots they could see in the sky. “A-Are all those flying things dragons?”“No. They are wyverns,” Sercy gritted her teeth. “I should have guessed when the bureau bastards gave us this dungeon without much resistance.”“What? Why?” Ria quickly asked. “Is there something wrong with wyverns?”“Yeah. An adult Wyvern is easily as strong as your average A-ranker. The fire they breathe isn’t as destructive as that of a dragon, but a wyvern’s breath is highly poisonous!” Sercy hissed in frustration. “And you should particularly
None of the ladies were prepared for the word ‘warp,’ but when that word came out of his mouth, their bodies reacted fast and assumed positions.Over a mile high in the sky, Myles appeared on top of a wyvern that was happily hovering through the sky along with its buddies, seemingly having the time of their lives. However, the moment Myles landed on its back. Its agile tail came whipping at him.Wyverns’ tails were long and can reach all the way to their necks, so the tail easily reached Myles, seeking to smack him to death.Myles, however, blocked the tail with his bone staff, and then half of the bone staff elongated and wrapped itself around the tail.The wyvern pulled its tail back. Myles let it whip him around with the tail, but he forcibly spun the beast over his head and roared like a barbarian as he drew more strength into his arms. “Oryaa!” he threw the giant wyvern over his shoulder and down to the ground that was over a mile below him.The wyvern came shooting down so fast.
Myles used his ‘warp’ ability in tandem with his ‘vera’ to be able to withstand the speed and might of numerous wyverns and magnificently maneuvered himself so that he wouldn't be ganged up on by these monsters. Though Ria flew into the sky, she forgot her mission and kept staring at Myles fighting the wyverns. Because she had the ability of a hawk, her eyes were able to see differently compared to others, so she was able to tell that Myles’ movements were abnormal.“He’s not moving like a human normally would,” Ria thought. “It’s as if he’s acting on his instincts instead of his thoughts, almost like an animal. And his ‘vera,’ is able to withstand the tail-attacks of the wyverns. I’m sure he learned the concept of vera not long ago, so how’s he able to master it to such an extent? I didn’t even see him practice when we were traveling across the seas. Do you mean to tell me he’s achieved such mastery in the few weeks he’s been in this city?”Ria’s pride made it difficult for her to s
A group of wyverns went after Ria. She took pride in her speed more than anything else. After throwing the wyvern’s body aside, she dashed through the sky as fast as she could. To her surprise, the wyverns were able to keep up with her speed.“Damn, these guys truly are commanders of the skies,” Ria used her feathers to keep messing with the sight of the wyverns by targeting their eyes, forcing them to keep dodging and defending themselves.Ria kept heading north, toward the center of the mountain chain, where she noticed a humongous wyvern lying on the ground. It seemed injured, but when Ria saw that beast, the wyvern opened its eyes and looked up.A wave of energy suddenly blasted forth and filled the entire mountain chain, spreading tens of miles all around. Ria who was the closest felt her body being gripped with great pain everywhere, and she coughed blood and lost her ability to fly.At the same time, Casey and Biskie also experienced something similar to Ria, and their muscles
“Don’t do it,” Ria warned. “What if that thing swallows your weapon and then attacks us?”Myles still tossed the bone staff into the wyvern king’s mouth.The wyvern king swallowed it without any hesitation and grinned. Ria’s doubt had come true.All the wyverns surrounding them immediately cast a combined spell that created a barrier around them, so that neither Myles nor Ria will be able to escape.“We’re fucked,” Ria’s heart raced like never before. There were more than fifty wyverns surrounding them, so she didn’t think she’d be able to fight even half of them and survive, let alone win.“Are you done upgrading my staff?” Myles asked, shocking Ria.“Hey, you still don’t get it?” Ria asked angrily. “They are planning to kill us both!”“She’s right,” the wyvern king laughed wickedly. “You and everyone that entered our realm will become our food. Once we’re done with casting the spell our ancestors left, we’ll be able to break into the earth with full strength. We’ll get back the land
Myles reached the cave first and waited for Ria. When she caught up with him, he said, “Why is your face red? Are you okay?” “I-I’m totally fine,” Ria said, and she was not able to make eye-contact with him. Now, Myles was not a clueless man when it came to the things regarding women. “The cave smells a lot. It looks like those damned wyverns stored their treasures in the place where they excrete. If you’re not comfortable, you can stay outside. I’ll bring the treasures out.” “Please do,” Ria didn’t even hesitate to reply. The last thing she wanted to do was walk in bird poop, after all. Myles covered himself with vera and entered the dungeon so that even the bad smell wouldn’t touch his clothes. The inside of the cave was completely filled with feces. The treasures were buried underneath the pile at the center of the cave, where there was no ceiling. The birds probably excreted from that hole above. Myles warped to the top of the cave and released a steady wind attack with a th
As Ria was running back to the entrance spot in a hurry, Myles used his warp power to make both Ria and himself to cover great distance in multiple quick successions and eventually reach the entrance, where Sercy and others were there.The dissipating dungeon energy already made Sercy realize that the dungeon had been cleared, so she looked at Myles in a bit of a shock. She had expectations from him, but he overwhelmingly exceeded those set expectations.“Myles…” Sercy asked him without blinking. “Each of these wyverns are close to A-rank venerers, and I’m sure the dungeon boss is close to S-rank venerer. So…what you’ve done is very scary, to say the least. Ria’s strength is already surprising enough, but yours… I can’t even get a gauge of you. Who exactly are you?”“I can’t tell you who I am, but I can tell you who I will become,” Myles said.“And that is?”“The strongest venerer in this city.”Sercy’s eyes slowly but surely widened, but Biskie and Casey didn’t didn’t seem too surpri
