Bob's thoughts spiraled as his gaze remained locked on the wyvern. When,
A dagger whistled through the air, descending from above.
'W-what? Who threw that?!'
The blade struck the wyvern's side. Though it did no damage, the beast's head snapped toward them, its glowing eyes narrowing.
It moved.
Bob's breath hitched.
'Is this it? Am I just going to die, just like this?'
But before the wyvern could attack them,
BOOM!
A pillar of earth erupted from the ground, slamming into the beast's jaw.
Cracks spiderwebbed through the rock before broking into pieces.
SHATTER!
The pillar crumbled into debris, barely even making the wyvern flinch.
Bob's head whipped around to see the Butler of the Vaelcrest family, standing firm, his hand still raised from casting the spell.
The wyvern's gaze locked onto Robert.
With a sudden, violent motion, it swung its tail at him.
Robert reacted instantly, raising multiple earthen walls to block the strike.
But it was useless.
CRASH!
