Chapter 216: 216

Keeeeeeee!

Nine trumpets mixed within themselves to create a sound that overshadowed a draconic roar. It was as if Eren’s bold and dare-devilish mindset had been adopted by his summons as well. The summoned elephants looked angry and ready to launch a kamikaze at the wyvern.

Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh.

The summoned elephants launched projectile attacks at the beast. A few of the elephants sent wind-element projectiles in the shape of their tusks. Others sent compressed wind balls using their trunks. The remaining elephants fired wind-element shards from their tails.

Wind-Fire Spears

Eren got access to another fusion attack.

He manifested spears made of wind and fire element mana. He fused the elements and created a series of spears over his head. He brought down his ax-wielding hands and let the spears attack the beast’s wings before he could try to fly away from the elephants’ attacks.

The draconic beast cried in pain and agony when Eren’s attack hit him. His thick scales were greatly pierced by the fusion weapon attack. It was clear that the wyvern’s fire element resistance didn’t extend to fusion attacks.

Despite its relative ease, the fire and wind element fusion was very destructive. The spear penetrated deep inside the dragon’s skin and injected Eren’s mana into his system.

Aspect Fusion: Blitz Steps

Eren used aspect fusion while executing his movement spell. His legs were covered in blue and purple lightning. When he jumped, he created a blast that propelled him with even greater speed.

The beast was pushed down as a result of Eren’s jump. The latter became airborne 12 meters in the air. This was just before the elephants pounced on the beast.

Boom. boom. Boom. boom.

Various wind-element attacks were detonated over the wyvern’s body. The next attack came from the summoned creatures themselves.

Eren watched the beast getting attacked by his summons in a battle trance. He changed his weapon and retrieved his crossbows.

Elemental Fusion: Lightning-Fire Bolt Blasts

The weapons creaked because they were not fully compatible with arrows made of elemental fusion. However, they were dual-element compatible and supported the manifestation of arrows to some degree.

Eren didn’t care about his crossbows or the fact that his aims were going to be compromised. He just shot arrows at the beast while he was being attacked by elephants.

Boom!

Three clouds of mana gathered around the wyvern as he was attacked by Eren’s spells. He suffered multiple wounds as a result of the fusion element attacks. Wind-element shrapnels began festering those wounds. From above, it looked like the beast was caught in a mana storm and attacked by so many things at once.

“Kiyeeeeh!”

The wyvern decided to react in kind. He protected his body with his wings before spreading them. In the next moment, the ground beneath the beast cracked and created a huge depression. A small tremor was felt as the beast disappeared from his position.

Clang!

The beast suddenly appeared over Eren and tried to bite his head off. However, the battlemage managed to defend himself using the Tachi he had retrieved earlier. It was as if he was anticipating the beast’s attacks.

‘I… I can sense his intentions.’

Eren muttered to himself in his head as he blocked the beast’s physical attack with his sword. His sword parried the beast’s sharp teeth. However, he soon felt that the air around him had become sulfuric and warm. An indication that the wyvern was going to unleash the beast’s attack on him.

Eren used Alfem to create a distance from the beast midair. He looked him in the eye while doing it and felt his rage. He could feel his pride as a draconic beast, which was telling him to rip Eren’s body to shreds.

Eren narrowed his eyes and made an abrupt turn. In the next moment, a fire claw attack had been sent to his previous position. The beast had attacked Eren so fast that he shouldn’t have been able to dodge the attack. His mastery over his elemental attainment had enabled the beast to do.

However, Eren’s preemptive retreat enabled him to dodge the attack. Another series of flying claw attacks was sent Eren’s way. Through abrupt aerial maneuvers, he managed to dodge all of them.

‘This… is he using soul sense?’

Kino was shocked when she saw Eren preemptively dodging the beast’s strikes. If it was not for his moves, he would have been severely injured, if not outright killed.

‘No. These are just signs of soul-sense awakening. His slumbering soul is trying to wake up. And he is making full use of his peculiar state.’

Kino remained silent and acted as a spectator. She had decided that she would express shock at Eren’s progress only when he was done with his fight.

The aerial fight between a giant draconic beast and a puny but crafty human was intense. However, Eren somehow managed to make things work for him for about a minute or two. He made full use of his fusion spells and cast them one after the other using his infinite mana core.

Eren was using the Twin Star Arts against the beast. This mana-based martial art wasn’t ideal for fighting with beasts. However, Eren hid the deficiencies it had using the digested memories of various martial arts he had digested through the Easter Egg.

Eren’s aerial combat was not only focused on defense. He also attacked the beast using various tricks and attacks.

Eren couldn’t maintain his flight for longer and was forced to come down. He used an all-out flying weapon that slashes around him, preventing the beast from landing near him.

Boom.

The beast and Eren landed on the ground at the same time. They both released their auras and the mana around them swirled, creating micro-mana storms in the surroundings.

The draconic beast was angry that his authority was being questioned. However, he stopped assuming things and did not attack Eren recklessly anymore. As proud as he was, he was not stupid and ignorant of the experience he had just had fighting with Eren.

Instead, the red-scaled wyvern decided to focus on something else. He decided to fix himself using his accelerated recovery speed.
