Cursed Thrones
Chapter 42 - The End of the Hunt

Cecilia immediately drew her bow, with Runic's blackish arrow. His goal was clear, his right wing.

In a short time Cecilia's right eye was glowing. Activating his vision power.

In his view, Wyvern's movement was visible a few seconds ahead. Which made Wyvern a little blurry and as if there were two Wyverns in his vision.

But he was used to this vision.

He has often used it to his own advantage. And with that....

'Swuuuuuussshhh!!!'

A very strong wind pressure blew all the leaves around Cecilia.

Very quickly, the arrow shot out and pierced through Wyvern's right wing. Tearing it wide enough to make it difficult to fly.

Little by little, the Wyvern began to fall to the ground. He could not lift his body with just one wing.

'Braaaka!!'kkk!!!'

Eventually, Wyvern's body fell down and knocked down many branches of trees in this forest.

"Good, now you attack him" said Cecilia who immediately bowed. Lowering Hella from her back.

"Eh?! Th-but...."

'Bruk! Bruk!! Bruk!'

Unexpectedly, the Wyvern immediately ran towards Cecilia as well as Hella. With his arms big enough, he prepared to tear his opponent apart.

Cecilia only glanced at him for a moment. With his right eye that was slightly emitting a reddish glow.

'Swussshh!'

Quickly, Cecilia lowered her head back while pulling Hella's body down.

"Run." said Cecilia briefly. He immediately draped his bow and again carried Hella with both hands.

"Huweeeh?!"

Cecilia's running speed was slightly slower compared to Wyvern's. But thanks to the intelligence as well as the dense forest environment, Cecilia was able to avoid most of her attacks.

By hiding behind the trees.

'Blaaaaaarrr! Kreeeeek!!!'

Just one scratch from Wyvern. And the big tree that Cecilia used as her shelter immediately collapsed.

'Brukkkk!!!'

Cecilia along with Hella on both arms slightly fell on the collapsed tree. But the two quickly got up to run back.

"What is it?!"

"I-I'm sorry if I just became a burden and...."

"Close your mouth and heal me! We're gonna get out of here!" reply Cecilia again carrying Hella.

Now, the girl hastened her footsteps. I want to rejoin Brian.

'Blaarr! Blaarr!! Blaar!!!'

Heavy footsteps from Wyvern were heard to shake the ground around him. Some of the trees that were hit by Wyvern soon collapsed, which made other trees around it collapse.

In the distance, Brian's figure was sticking his greatsword on the young Wyvern's head.

"Brian! Need help!" cecilia shouted loudly.

Reflexively, Brian immediately turned his head and saw the figure of Wyvern's mother who was chasing the two.

As his task was done, Brian immediately ran to provide his assistance. He grasped his greatsword tightly, and intended to provoke the attention of the Wyvern.

Provides an opportunity for Cecilia to attack freely.

"Give it to me."

'Tap 'em! Taps! Aap!'

Brian's movements are getting faster as time goes on. And with the sword that he dragged across the land, he intends to fight this Wyvern Mother.

'Possibly won't be much different than before, right?' brian thought in his heart.

With full force, Brian swung his greatsword towards the Wyvern's mother's arm.

'Bab!!!'

"Eh?!"

His sword was unable to cut Wyvern's arm. Even his sword stuck out and came to a halt after just a few centimeters.

The skin and flesh of the adult Wyvern was much thicker compared to the three young Wyverns he had fought against.

Even with a two-handed greatsword, Brian was unable to cut it directly.

And now....

"Shangh! Goddamnit!"

Unable to pull back his sword that stuck in Wyvern's arm, Brian decided to jump back.

Even so, the plan has been successful. He managed to attract attention from Wyvern.

"Cecilia! Kill her!" shouted Brian loudly.

Now it's Brian's turn to be the target of this monster.

'Blaayarrr!! Albarre!!'

Several times the arm with the sharp claws hit the ground. Brian was lucky enough to avoid it.

'A-is it really this strong?!' brian thought in his heart.

Starting from the speed of movement, attack, strength, and endurance. Wyvern in front of him was much stronger than his three children.

'Is it just because you are older? Or....'

Brian's thoughts began to lead to something else. Just as the Goblins had become that much stronger, this Wyvern might as well be the same.

Gained much greater strength by gulping down blood from Hecate.

While daydreaming....

'Blaaar!!!'

"Kughh!!!"

The wounds he received were not even playful. The skin armor that protected him was completely torn off. With a chest drenched in blood from the lash wound.

In front of him, the Wyvern figure was walking quietly. He moved his arm several times to throw away the sword that struck it.

And now, with only Brian focused, he was preparing to hunt him down.

'Damn it! The cecilia?! What the hell are you doing?! This is the perfect opportunity to shoot him, right?!'

Suddenly, three ice spears of considerable size shot towards that Wyvern. Stuck on his left body.

'Jleeebb! Jleeb!!'

The wounds given are deep. Making the Wyvern cry out in pain before stepping back a few times.

It appeared that Wyvern was about to fly, but his right wing that had been torn completely made him unable to return to flying in the air.

"Eh?"

Brian turned his head towards the origin of the ice spear. It was a long black haired girl. He held the wooden stick with both hands.

In clothes that did not depict the figure of a witch at all, the girl shot back several ice spears.

A bluish magic circle appeared to be at the end of his wand. Together with that, the intense cold wind pressure in each shot of the ice spear shot out her beautiful black hair.

'Swuuusshh! Swuush! Swuuuushhh!!'

'KRAAAAAAAABKK!!!' wyvern shouted in pain

"Haha! Aren't you very strong?! But.... Where's Cecilia?" ask Brian who immediately moved away from Wyvern's danger.

His left arm is seen trying hard to resist the blood flow in the wound on his chest.

Brian was unable to see Cecilia anywhere. Putting that aside, he immediately ran towards his sword.

Back to arming himself for the next fight.

After 9 ice spears stuck in the Wyvern's body, Hella changed her magic. This time he fired water magic that soaked Wyvern's body.

And almost without pause, Hella returned to using ice magic. Not to form that spear again.

Rather than to freeze the movement of the Wyvern.

A bluish magic circle appeared on the ground where Wyvern was standing. It let out an extremely cold air, which slowly froze the body of the Wyvern.

'KRAAAAAAAABKK!!!'

With a loud shout, the Wyvern attempted to break out of the scope of the magic circle.

But little by little.... Wyvern's body began to freeze. Starting from the tips of his toes and arms, spread up to the top.

'Kreettaakk! Pyaay!'arr!!'

The stronger the Wyvern tried to move, the greater the injuries he suffered. Now, one of his frozen legs had been crushed and crushed.

'Yahar!!'

Not long after, his right arm was also crushed. Broke into many pieces of ice in that pile of frozen leaves as well.

'Kraaa.... Kraaayya!!'

Brian, who was standing still, witnessed the horrors of magic for the first time. He gripped the large sword with his right hand.

Unconsciously, biting his own lips as a result of the sight before him.

'Yaharrr!!!'

Now, his remaining legs and arms were crushed by being forced to move. The cold ice began to spread towards Wyvern's stomach and chest.

And finally, without any support from the members of his movement, the Wyvern fell to the ground. His frozen stomach and chest instantly cracked after falling down.

Leave only part of his back, neck and head that has not frozen.

In his heart, Brian felt pity for Wyvern who should have been his hunt. But how else?

Even if left unchecked, someone would also definitely hunt him down. And if no one's hunting him, Wyvern's gonna hunt the humans.

'really.... Thatvs right.... This is a cruel world.... It doesn't hurt to....'

'Bruck!'

In the distance, Hella is seen falling to the ground. Helpless in the least.

Brian immediately realized it.

In fact, simple fire magic to create a campfire alone was already quite difficult for him.

Especially large scale magic like this. Not including the many healings requested by him and maybe also Cecilia.

Surely, it was draining not only his magic energy but also his strength.

Brian walked slowly towards the Wyvern. Lifting the great sword only with his right hand, then smashing it right into Wyvern's frozen chest.

'Yaharrr!!!'

Now, with the crumbling of his chest and heart, Wyvern is undoubtedly dead.

'Slicing!'

Brian left his sword, and walked towards Hella.

"Hella? You okay?" ask Brian to worry. He saw the figure of the girl falling down with her face facing the ground.

"No problem, just running out of energy" she replied briefly.

"Thank God...."

Now, with the victory already in hand, Brian was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Although, there was one thing still stuck in his mind.

"Now! Prepare to.... Uh?" cecilia shouted in the distance. His hand was ready to shoot that Runic arrow, but his spirit faded away instantly.

"Where are you? The party's over."

"Eh?! I just went to pick up my fallen arrow! And it's all done?!"

"That's how. Check Wyvern's body or something. Make sure he's dead."

Finally, this little hunt was over. Although a little outside the initial plan, but at least everything is sorted out without any casualties.
