Vile Evil Hides Under The Veil Chapter 1406 [Bonus ] The Scythe Queen's Concerns

Chapter 1406 [Bonus ] The Scythe Queen’s Concerns

As the chaotic battle raged on, Eren's prayers for backup were answered in the nick of time.

The GrayScale Fire Wyvern's relentless onslaught had pushed them to their limits, and facing it alone was simply not feasible for Eren and the White Raven Guild members present on the battlefield. The enemy Rankers from Layos added to the challenge, leaving them with no option but to play defensively and contain the ferocious beast.

However, they knew their limits and realized that taking down the wyvern required a specialized approach. Eren urgently needed the expertise of Firebrand's Rankers, known for their mastery of fire-element magic. Leveraging the co-op agreement between the White Raven Guild and Firebrand, Eren quickly called upon Altas.h.i.+a and her team to join forces.

Altas.h.i.+a's team arrived, a skilled and cohesive unit, well-versed in handling fire-element threats. As per Eren's instructions, they focused solely on containing the fearsome GrayScale Fire Wyvern, using their fiery prowess to keep the beast at bay.

Thanks to the mastery over the Way of Fire and various special artifacts at their disposal, these Firebranders were also immune to the beast's elemental attacks. All they needed to do was to make sure that the beast did not concentrate all of its attacks on them or tried to deal a physical blow to them.

With the Firebrand team taking charge of the wyvern, Eren and the remaining White Raven Guild members turned their attention to the enemy Rankers. Their duties now s.h.i.+fted to eliminating the remaining foes, who were already shaken by the loss of their squad captain and vice-captain at Eren's hands.

As the enemy Rankers attempted to retreat, they found themselves confronted by Eren and his comrades, their path to escape effectively cut off. Eren's team worked with impressive synergy, dismantling the fleeing foes one by one with skillful coordination. The tides of battle had turned in their favor.

Meanwhile, Altas.h.i.+a and her fellow Firebrand Rankers engaged in a fierce struggle with the relentless wyvern. Its vitality and strength seemed never-ending, bearing testament to its formidable draconic lineage.

The C-Ranked wyvern that was close to achieving its beastly evolution, surrounded by a mult.i.tude of Rankers, refused to back down despite the fierce battle that had raged on since its inception. Fuelled by peculiar potions from the Layos forces, it remained undaunted, refusing to flee from the scene.

This legendary draconic creature possessed a myriad of devastating abilities beyond its fiery breath attacks. Its exceptional Elemental Attainments allowed it to manipulate fire-element mana, extending its reach to absurd levels. With claws and coat ablaze, it unleashed fiery whips and conjured clouds of flames wherever it roamed. The beast's draconic wings harnessed the elemental fusion of fire and wind, releasing storms of fiery destruction.

In a fit of rage, the wyvern took to the skies again despite its damaged wings, launching aerial attacks against Altas.h.i.+a's team. The skies lit up with a spectacle of fireb.a.l.l.s, fire bolts, and flame shards raining down on the enemy, resembling a celestial dance of mini-suns. Eren's team would have been overwhelmed if they were to be present at the scene at this point, but Firebrand's Rankers proved their mettle, employing their expertise to deal with such creatures.

Firebrand Rankers skillfully used fire-element mana chains to ground the beast and neutralize its flight capabilities. With its wings restrained, the wyvern focused its efforts on eradicating its perceived pests.

Altas.h.i.+a, wielding her formidable scythe, officially t.i.tled the Scythe Queen by the kingdom of Edinburgh at this point, divided her team into two groups. One group maintained control over the elemental chains, keeping the wyvern leashed and vulnerable. The other provided crucial support as Altas.h.i.+a led the fierce a.s.sault, dancing on the battlefield with deadly elegance.

Her oversized scythe cleaved through the air, releasing waves of flying weapon slashes that struck the beast's previously inflicted injuries. Altas.h.i.+a's strategy was evident, targeting the wyvern's rugged draconic skin where it had received previous injuries to weaken it further. Her deadly precision and calculated attacks made it clear that she was intent on breaking through the creature's resilience.I think you should take a look at

The battlefield was alive with elemental clashes, magic spells, and the roar of the wyvern. Eren knew that victory hinged on the collective efforts of both the White Raven Guild and Firebrand. With the combined might of these skilled Rankers, the daunting challenge before them would be overcome, one step at a time.

It took more than half an hour for Eren and his team to be finally done with finis.h.i.+ng off the fleeing enemy Rankers. They quickly made their way back to ground zero and regrouped before joining forces with the Firebrand Rankers.

The battlefield crackled with tension as Altas.h.i.+a swiftly switched positions with her vice-captain upon spotting Eren's team approaching. Understanding the gravity of the situation, Eren immediately directed his team to support the Firebrand Rankers, while he went to meet Altas.h.i.+a.

His voice filled with concern and his forehead creased with stress lines, Eren asked Altas.h.i.+a, "How is it looking?" As they observed the clash between the Rankers and the ferocious beast from a safe distance, it became evident that the battle was far from over.

Altas.h.i.+a let out a sigh, her eyes reflecting memories of a past encounter.

"It reminds me of when I fought Rodrick's wyvern in the t.i.tus Arena. But this wyvern here is fully grown and on the verge of evolving to the next rank.

Eren, if we continue like this, we might face casualties. Shouldn't we restrain the beast for now and retreat? I can't ask my guild members to risk their lives against a calamity of nature like the GrayScale Fire Wyvern."

Eren shook his head, his voice unwavering.

"The risks of fleeing are as great as staying and fighting, Tasha. If we run, the beast might pursue us and attack us individually when we are not in a formation to support each other. It also might return to the Layos tamers, making it an even deadlier adversary in our next battle.???ℯ????.???

You already know the peculiarities of dragonkind. They are favored by the world and mana itself. Evolving after such a battle would be effortless for that Overhyped Lizard. It's foolish to offer your enemy a respite only for them to end up getting stronger."

Taking a deep breath, Eren steadied himself, his gaze determined as he added, "To be honest, I have a personal stake in this too. I need the beast's soul for my Hex Artifact. So, follow my lead as I take charge of this raid."
