Chapter 251

The Wyverns wings were instantly ripped apart and torn to shreds as soon as the whirlwinds spear-like tip landed on it. Dozens of Wyverns, whose wings were torn apart, plunged to the ground with painful screams.

As dozens of Wyverns descended simultaneously, the mountain peak trembled, seeming like it might collapse. The ground, unable to bear the weight of the Wyverns, was gouged several meters deep, sending a massive dust cloud billowing into the sky.

Seeing it, Philford shouted to the Avalon Knights, Attack the fallen Wyverns!

Cloaked in their Chevalier Armor, the Avalon Knights swiftly advanced towards the Wyverns concealed within the expansive dust cloud. Before the Avalon Knights could reach them, the Paladins of the Yupir Church unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst upon the fallen Wyverns. A barrage of a thousand Thunderbolt Swords soared simultaneously towards the incapacitated creatures.

The golden Thunderbolt Swords unleashed by the three Paladins struck one side of the mountain peak, triggering a resonating explosion. Yet, that wasn't the end of it. As the Thunderbolt Swords fragmented, a surge of lightning enveloped an entire side of the mountain. The Wyverns within this electrifying wave suffered additional damage, struck anew by the lightning surge following the direct impact of the Thunderbolt Swords.

In contrast to the Thunderbolt Swords infused with Mu-Guns divinity, the Paladins' counterparts struggled to pierce through the Wyverns' formidable scales and magical force field. Despite this, an impressive barrage of three thousand Thunderbolt Swords descended upon them. Nearly a hundred of these potent projectiles struck each Wyvern. The Thunderbolt Swords, possessing the strength equivalent to a Grand Master's Mind Sword, couldn't breach the scales or force field but inflicted substantial damage nonetheless.

As expected, the Wyverns struck by the Thunderbolt Swords struggled to regain their composure, hindered by the impact of their plummet caused by the crushed wings. Moreover, the reverberations of the Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst added to their disorientation.

In that instant, the Avalon Knights, under the leadership of Philford and Walter, descended upon the disoriented Wyverns, wielding their Aura Blades. Over sixty knights unleashed these radiant blades, connecting solid blows with the Wyverns. Having had their magic force field shattered by the earlier Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst, the Wyverns now faced the Aura Blades without any defensive barrier.

While the Wyverns' scales offered robust protection, it proved inadequate against the Aura Blades without the bolster of a magic force field. The blades shattered the scales, tearing into the flesh beneath, causing blood to spatter. The amplified power of the Chevalier Sword left the Wyverns with significant wounds, though far from fatal.

The Avalon Knights, aware that a single strike wouldn't bring down the formidable creatures, seized the moment, relentlessly releasing Aura Blades onto the massive bodies of the Wyverns. Before the Wyverns could mount a defense, the Chevalier Swords' Aura Blades tore through their bodies relentlessly.

As their blood spilled from the relentless onslaught, the Wyverns responded with enraged roars, spewing Flame Breaths from their jaws and swinging their arrowhead-like tails. Knights caught in the path of the fiery breath were forcefully propelled backward, crashing into the mountain peak. Subsequently, the arrowhead tails pierced through the Chevalier Armor, penetrating the bodies of the knights within.

With the Wyverns counterattack, over twenty knights succumbed in an instant. Among them, some were fatally wounded, collapsing to the ground.

Seeing the sight, Paladin Rood shouted at the Avalon Knights, Everyone, step back!

The Avalon Knights promptly withdrew, and the three Paladins unleashed another volley of Thunderbolt Swords at the Wyverns. Attempting a counterattack after enduring the relentless shocks, the Wyverns found themselves pierced by the myriad Thunderbolt Swords descending from above. Once more, the Wyverns were struck by the Thunderbolt Swords, causing them to crash to the ground.

As the Wyverns tumbled from the Paladins' relentless assaults, the retreating knights swiftly charged back at them, wildly brandishing their Aura Blades. With no respite to recover from their injuries, the Wyverns succumbed to the onslaught of Thunderbolt Swords and Aura Blades. Their massive bodies adorned with wounds, the monsters eventually lowered their heads, drained of strength. Undeterred, the knights pressed on, ensuring to deliver decisive blows by smashing the Wyverns' heads.

Meanwhile, Mu-Gun soared towards the Wyverns felled by the wind spirits. Sensing the threat emanating from Mu-Gun's formidable energy, the Wyverns retaliated with a barrage of Flame Breaths. Employing the Thunder God's Aerial Steps, Mu-Gun skillfully evaded the onslaught of fiery breath from various directions. Subsequently, he joined forces with the Wind Spirit King Nervatum.

A colossal wind giant, towering over twenty meters, encircled Mu-Gun's body like protective armor. This giant, comprised of swirling wind, was then enveloped in a flash of golden lightning, creating an outer shell that radiated a dazzling golden glow. The sheer presence of the shining, golden wind giant was overwhelming. Yet, it didn't stop there. A torrent of golden lightning swirled vigorously around the giant's hand, taking the form of a sword. As the energies of the Wind Spirit King and the Thunder God Qi fused, the sword was reborn with even greater potency. The Wyverns swiftly spread out, surrounding Mu-Gun, and simultaneously unleashed a torrent of Flame Breaths at him.

More than fifty Wyverns directed their Flame Breaths exclusively at Mu-Gun. In a swift response, Mu-Gun ascended rapidly into the sky. The Wyverns, adjusting their aim, lifted their heads and directed their fiery onslaught toward him. Over fifty Flame Breaths surged upwards, homing in on Mu-Gun. Despite his towering stature of over twenty meters, Mu-Gun moved with the fluidity of the wind, effortlessly evading the incoming Flame Breaths. Without hesitation, he maneuvered behind the Wyverns that encircled him.

Mu-Gun's movements were as fluid as the wind, and his speed rivaled that of lightning. In the blink of an eye, Mu-Gun reached behind the Wyverns and swiftly swung the swords in both his hands. The Wyverns flanking him had their wings severed by the golden Thunderbolt Swords, their forms torn apart in a wretched display. The two Wyverns commenced a spinning descent, one wing now torn asunder.

That marked just the beginning. Mu-Gun soared across the sky, systematically bringing down the Wyvern horde one by one. The Wyverns' robust defenses proved futile against the Thunderbolt Swords wielded by the wind giant. In a single strike, the Thunderbolt Sword tore through Wyverns' wings and severed their torsos effortlessly. Despite the Wyverns attempting a counterattack, Mu-Gun remained elusive, utilizing the power of the wind to navigate the skies with unparalleled freedom.

With each movement Mu-Gun made, the Wyverns plummeted without exception, their numbers swiftly halved. Realizing Mu-Gun's invincibility, the Wyverns promptly retreated. The horde scattered in all directions as Mu-Gun gathered his strength, summoning a Thunderbolt Sword before unleashing it upon the fleeing Wyverns.

The golden Thunderbolt Sword streaked through the air like a swift beam of light, hurtling towards the retreating Wyverns. In an attempt to evade the pursuing Thunderbolt Swords aimed from behind, the Wyverns swiftly changed directions. However, the Thunderbolt Swords, following Mu-Gun's command, promptly adjusted their course, relentlessly chasing down the Wyverns. Despite the Wyverns' continuous attempts to change directions, they found no respite from the persistent pursuit of the Thunderbolt Swords.

Inevitably, the Thunderbolt Swords closed in on the Wyverns, mercilessly piercing their bodies and wings. The Wyverns, scattered in all directions as they fled, began to plummet swiftly.

Mu-Gun asked the High Elves, Can you take care of the fallen Wyverns?

Sure. Fraus nodded and instructed the other High Elves.

The High Elves formed pairs and soared to the locations where the Wyverns had crashed. However, the sheer number of Wyverns exceeded the High Elves' capacity to handle them alone. Mu-Gun severed the connection with the Wind Spirit King and entrusted the task of dealing with the remaining Wyverns to the spirit.

The Wind Spirit King summoned its highest-ranked wind spirits and directed them to handle the Wyverns in locations untouched by the High Elves. Despite delegating the task, Mu-Gun remained proactive. Recognizing the overwhelming number of Wyverns for Nervatum and the High Elves to manage, Mu-Gun swiftly positioned himself where the creatures had fallen, systematically eliminating them one by one before they could regenerate.

On the other hand, the Avalon Knights and the Yupir Churchs Paladins were forced to watch Mu-Gun and the others defeat the Wyverns as there was a limitation to their mobility.

Its a shame that the Chevalier Armors are not equipped with flight magic. said Paladin Rood.

I know, right?

I heard that F-Class Chevalier Armors are embedded with flight magic.

Philford smiled bitterly and said, So what? It is harder to obtain an F-Class Chevalier Armor than winning a lottery.

Thats no problem. All we have to do is catch a Dragon ourselves and make an F-Class Chevalier Armor, said Walter pompously.

It seems like your confidence skyrocketed because we managed to defeat the Drakes and Wyverns, but a Dragon is on a different level compared to them, said Gilphian.

I know very well too. However, we have Young Lord Argon, who signed a contract with the Wind Spirit King Nervatum and is the Sky God Yupirs representative. With his and Nervatums power together, hunting a Dragon wouldnt be impossible.

If it is just one Dragon, then it may be possible. However, if there are more than two Dragons, it will be difficult to deal with them. Gilphian expressed a skeptical opinion.

Theres that, too. But we need the power of a Dragon to fight against the Demon God. It will be much more beneficial for us to have the Dragons as allies than to be hostile.

When Philford suggested that they should cooperate rather than fight the Dragons, Walter immediately refuted, In the past, the Dragons were on the side of the Demon God and almost dragged Avalon to the brink of destruction. How can we trust and fight alongside them?

That is a thing of the past. It is prejudiced and arrogant to think that things will remain the same as they were.

Did you just say prejudice and arrogance? If we trust the Dragons and they end up betraying us, we will be faced with an irreversible situation. We should not trust the Dragons carelessly as Avalons fate is at stake, said Walter in a slightly furious tone.

Of course, Im not saying we should trust them unconditionally. However, what I am trying to say is that we shouldnt judge with prejudice because of their past wrongdoings. Philford explained.

The important point is that it will be easier to eradicate the Demon God if the Dragons, known as the strongest creatures in Avalon, work together with us. Rood opined.

Yes. Although Young Lord Argon is amazing, it will be difficult to deal with the Demon God alone. For the sake of eradicating the Demon God, we absolutely need the Dragons help. Gilphian added.

Paladin Rood and Gilphian took Philfords side.

Thats enough. This is something for Young Lord Argon to decide anyway, so what good would it do for us to argue about it among ourselves? said Walter.

Philford and the Paladins also did not bother speaking any further.

In the midst of all that, Mu-Gun and the High Elves returned, having successfully eradicated all the Wyverns. With the mission accomplished, the Wind Spirit King Nervatum returned to the Spirit Realm.

Well done, everyone, said Mu-Gun.

You did all the hard work, Young Lord Argon. But I wonder if there are any more Wyverns around.

At Philfords remark, Fraus, the chief of the elves, said, We have already deployed our wind spirits so that we will know soon.

But what are our plans if there arent any more Wyverns? Walter asked.

I am thinking of going into the land of the Dragons, Mu-Gun announced.

Are you perhaps planning to fight the Dragons?

I intend to join forces with them if possible.

Will the Dragons join our cause? Walter said skeptically.

Lets hope so.

What if the Dragons refuse?

Then we have no choice but to fight, Mu-Gun said firmly.

No matter how strong you are, you wont be able to deal with all the Dragons alone. Even if we are with you, we wont be much help if we are up against Dragons, said Fraus.

If Im not strong enough, then all I have to do is grow my powers. Mu-Gun added.

Grow your powers? How?

It wouldnt be impossible to fight the Dragons if I had the help of the other Spirit Kings, Mu-Gun explained.

Are you implying that you want to sign contracts with the other Spirit Kings? Fraus said in surprise.

Thats just my intention. Its only possible if the Spirit Kings give permission.

Thats impossible. There has never been anyone who has signed a contract with all four Spirit Kings.

Mu-Gun shrugged and replied, Well, well have to wait and find out.

Fraus thought it was impossible, but for some reason, he couldnt get rid of the idea that it might be possible for Mu-Gun.
