Chapter 183 Blake To The Rescue
Elsa's vision turned blurry, her strength dwindled, and her body secreting out sweat. The kind that was enough to wash off the blood on her face, replaced with the pain of having liquid composed mostly of salt mixed with the open wound on her forehead.
Her body had lost its weight, and her mind getting foggy. She could no longer think straight, with riddled questions forming up in her mind.
Elsa held unto one single thought and concentrated very hard on it, to make sure her mind does not end up shattered or in a vegetated state as a result of the pain she is currently experiencing, and her thoughts not in order.
"i.....i....sav....ci..."
Her mouth kept mumbling out broken words, pieces of it scattered around, but when put together, reads; I must save the city.
Her body had broken beyond believe, and her mind wasn't as intact as it once was when she started, but her resolve still remained the same, and her determination to stop the Wyverns was still her priority, despite her body's condition.
"It is your loss human. You were never a match for me to begin with".
The Wyvern leader's word toward Elsa was not one of mockery, but a genuine advice, seeing the sort of condition she has been put in.
She decided to spare her the time she would use enduring the pain by killing her right now.
The Wyvern leader opened up her mouth, preparing to fire her mana breath that would incinerate Elsa's body to the last drop, leaving nothing behind.
"FIRE!"
A coarse male voice rang out in the opposite direction leading to the gate.
The Wyvern leader turned only her head to where the voice had come from, and she, unexpectedly, was barraged with a series of attacks, some made of fire shaped like a ball, some water, also shaped like a ball, several gust of winds shaped like two blades crossed together with curves separating them at the top and bottom.
The attacks, though different, came in multiple forms, all assigned with one command; to land itself aggressively on the body of the Wyvern leader.
She automatically responded to the incoming attacks by flexing her wings forward, and using it to cover her body.
The attacks got to her, with the wind pushing her back a little, the water ball getting her wet and blasting her further back, the fire attack, stuck to her wings and set a part of it aflame.
"DO NOT RELENT YOUR ATTACK. DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET THE MONSTER FAR AWAY FROM OUR CAPTAIN".
He yelled out his orders once more, making sure that it got to those that were behind him as well.
When Elsa had left the forces she marched with to the border of the forest of Anjonu, she left control over to Blake, her vice captain.
After she left, Blake had gathered the forces amidst the turbulence, and marched them all down to the city to defend it.
Even though they were all in a hurry, their pace could still not compare to Elsa who took to traveling alone, with her armors off, giving her an increase in speed, and also pushing her horse to its highest speed limit.
Blake did his best to hasten the steps of the forces as much as he could. Though they were not able to get to the city in time to stop the destruction that has already been unleashed by the Wyverns, he wasn't at all washed down by it, because he still got here in time to prevent Elsa from getting killed by the Wyverns.
He rode along, while the mage amongst the forces support him with their spells, keeping the Wyvern leader too occupied with dodging so she won't have the time to go after Blake who is on his way to Elsa.
The earth mages used the ground that the Wyvern leader was standing on, manipulating it to move and forming itself in the shape of an arm, intending to wrap it around the Wyvern leader's leg, to trap it down.
The Wyvern leader had already took notice of the change that was ongoing with where she stood on, and so she took to the air to avoid whatever it is that is happening below her.
The earth made hands sprouted out from the ground, chasing after the Wyvern leader who has flown herself upward.
She dived freely, moving ambiguously so as to not get caught by the hands until she gets to an higher ground where the hand couldn't reach her.
When the Wyvern was assured that she was safe at the distance she is currently floating at, she pushed her stomach in, then from her mouth, she poured out her breath at the human forces that had attacked her.
A massacre is what her breath did when it touched the ground, wiping out all that is within the range, with the ground heated up from making contact with her breath.
The mage soldiers were quick to cast a defensive spell when they saw that the Wyvern leader was about to use her breath.
They were met with disappointment when their prided defensive spell was shattered into multiple fragments, seconds after the breath made contact with it.
They were quick to move themselves away after they saw that the barrier could not hold down her breath. Scattering in various directions, in an attempt to get as far away from her breath as they could.
The screams of their comrade getting caught in the breath was all that could be heard, but none of them were bold enough to turn around and go back to help their comrade in need, it was every man for himself.
She rained down more of her breath in several directions, blocking off their exit route and trying to trap them down in circle.
"Captain! Captain wake up! Captain! Captain!".
Blake had in his arms, the motionless and tattered body of Elsa, beseeching her to make any movements, signs that could show that she was still with them.
