Chapter 350 - Hunting A Wyvern(5)
Custom Spell: Light Distortion!
While Desmond's subordinates were in a daze seeing those flying lizards, the energy began to gather around their body. It was enveloping their body with the light from the sun and reflecting their shadow back to their body.
"Stay still, we cannot fight them," With questions filling their minds, they gulped their saliva when they looked at the incoming group of flying lizards getting closer to them.
"I need all of you to spread around the Imperial Empire to gather information about a potion to reach or enter a realm of 1st class mage. As soon you find the recipe or have some clues about it, immediately return."
While Desmond explained the matter, the flying lizards were just flying casually on his sides without noticing his body or his subordinates.
The subordinates were constantly shaking with their breath quickened when those flying lizards flew past them one by one.
They did not even think about how and when their young master cast his spell on them. The only thought they had was to survive those flying lizards.
"Are you understand?" Desmond asked in a hurry. After he considers the combat power of his group and compares it to the average beasts he would meet, he decides to fight alone.
Only after those flying lizards were a bit far away from their location, they finally could inhale and feel relieved." But, young master what about your safety? We cannot let you kill all of that terrifying beast alone!" One of his subordinates refuted.
The rest was agreed with his words. Even if their loyalty could not be compared to Felix's, they still could not let their master die.
They owe Felix their life after Felix gave them a new life as a bodyguard. At the same time, they owe their soul to their young master after he led them to avenged their loved one and past grudges with that evil organization.
With all of those debts, those acts bringing many D-rank beasts to him could not be considered as pay off some of their debt! It was just a small matter for them to also survive.
They lived by eating the meats from those beasts while their young master only used some parts for his experiments. It was not a fair exchange to begin with it.
"What the most that you can do with your power? Don't misunderstand, I brought you with me because I need all of you to search the way for me to become a 1st class mage. With your power, you cannot even become bait for the wyvern."
Desmond spoke harshly. He immediately fled and controlled his wave to drive his subordinates away from him without waiting for their reply.
Desmond's subordinates were dumbstruck by his sudden action.
Suddenly their world was slowly covered in the dark. With their heart skipped a beat, they peeked from the corner of their eyes and found those flying lizards came back and rushed to their young master.
"Young m-!" When one of them tried to remind him, the other subordinates covered his mouth. He silently gestured him to keep silent and pointed at their body that was still covered in light, faintly invisible from the eyes of those flying lizards.
....
On the other hand, after seeing the giant wave driving away and heading in the direction of the Imperial Empire, he looked at the big incoming shadows in the sky while observing their speed and combat power.
He did that because his custom spell could only cover the physical body but could not hide the smells and the sounds. When he communicated with his subordinates, they did not realize he was transferring his voice to their minds.
"Now, let see if my spell works on the beast above C rank," Desmond muttered. Luckily those flying lizards were too focused on him, not even caring about a giant wave that kept moving behind them.
*ROAR*
It was still ten meters away but these flying lizards already roared at him. These big shadows almost covered the entire sky.
"Why would you still hunt me with your size?" Desmond grumbled inwardly. With their big body made their speed was really slow even in the air. He even had enough time to complain and examine their bodies.
"It's too unrealistic!" Desmond commented.
Their saliva dropped many times to the barren land and then evaporated because of the high temperature. Their eyes were red, like a crazy dog with their wide mouth open, showing their dirty teeth.
When considering his size, it would not be enough to satisfy their belly moreover they were in a group!
"Basic Spell: Fireballs Rapid Attack!"
Unlike when he used the Control Element, a spell like this recorded and simplified was a more energy-saving
*swoosh*
*swoosh*
Many fireballs were created in mid-air from thin air without the appearance of a magic circle as his passive skill 'instant cast' was activated. Those fireballs were hovering and immediately shot toward those big flying lizards.
With their bodies twice than the Dire Wolf, those fireballs easily touch and burn their skins.
*ROAR*
However, as Desmond expected those fireballs did not give any scratch even burn marks.
"This is troublesome," Desmond narrowed his eyes. He could see their speed did not decrease as they seemed did not bother with his small attack.
*boom*
The first flying lizard arrived and tried to swallow him. Yet, its attack was too slow making Desmond easily avoid and jump between their hard skins and step on its head.
The entire ground where he stood before already vanished, turned into a big hole with its big mouth was chewing the pebbles and earth.
*ROAR*
As Desmond arrived above its head, he saw the skin was too rough like a collection of rock that was kept bouncing up and down. Its entire head was no different from the barren land below him!
Custom Spell: Fire Sword!
Without delaying, Desmond instantly activated his custom spell with his hand to grab his metal sword on his waist. A barrier started to envelop an inch away from the blade with a fire forming above the barrier.
The metal sword has turned into a burning sword in an instant.
The moment the sword had finished transformed, Desmond's expression turned solemn. His eyes narrowed and tightly gripped at his sword and then stabbed down with all of the might.
The moment he stabbed down, the pressure on his body released. The skin color around his wrist turned into a red.
*stab*
When the tip of the sword touched the outer layer of its skin, the burning effect was active. The fire started to burn which easily made the sword pierce deeper its skins.
Desmond with all of his might pushed and gave the sword more power by using both of his hands.
*ROAR*
The flying lizard roared. However, unlike the previous roar, this roar sounded more like a cry. The rest of the flying lizards did not dare to approach or disturb Desmond which confused him for a long time.
Not even one of them dared to use their claws to sweep him or tails to toss him, it looked like he was riding their alpha or something similar like that.
With Desmond's raw power stronger than a 4th class swordsman, the metal sword actually sinks to its skinhead. He did not know it pierced through its throat or only reached its out brain.
"If my magic does not work, I can only use my raw power from now if I want to kill the rest," Desmond spoke while glancing at the rest of the flying lizards.
They are too big, he thought. It could be seen Desmond was holding one of its rough skins that looked like a rock for his body to not be blown away by the wind pressure every time they flapped their wings.
