“Snake Bone of Eternal Imprisonment, summon!”
Brock, who had been attacking from a distance with magic, lunged toward the Sub-dragon Wyvern and threw a card!
A stark white snake bone pierced the ground, blocking the Sub-dragon Wyvern's path.
Lightning then raced along the bone, striking the dragon's head at point-blank range.
Serafina took the opportunity to roll away and create some distance.
However, the Sub-dragon Wyvern ignored the lightning from the Snake Bone of Eternal Imprisonment.
The Dragon Scales technique granted the wyvern immense elemental and paralysis resistance.
The numbing current couldn't hinder the Sub-dragon Wyvern at all.
It swung its head around the snake bone, its dragon flame breath chasing Serafina once again.
With nowhere to hide, Serafina gripped the hilt of her broken blade. She quickly sheathed it, then drew it in one motion.
Magical artifact, Frozen Flame Ice, activate.
Forbidden Fire Blessing Mark, activate.
Lesser magic grade magic item, Moth Necklace, special effect: increase fire manipulation and fire resistance.
The moment she drew her sword, solid ice grew rapidly over the broken steel, completing the blade as she thrust it into the oncoming dragon flame breath.
Simultaneously, Serafina poured everything into manipulating the flames before her.
The defense could only hold for a moment!
The ice blade began to melt rapidly; the breath was on the verge of breaking through.
“Heroic Gargoyle, summon!”
A card spun through the air. Before Serafina could even see it clearly, a Heroic Gargoyle slammed down heavily in front of her.
The Heroic Gargoyle gripped the Nail of Sealing tightly, bracing against the dragon flame.
“Brock, take the chance!” the purple-skinned blacksmith, Purple Copper, shouted.
Brock didn't answer. He focused entirely on controlling the Heroic Gargoyle to withstand the blast.
Under the intense heat of the dragon flame, the color of the Nail of Sealing began to shift.
Now out of immediate danger, Serafina quickly drew a backup sword. Using the Heroic Gargoyle as cover, she lunged at the Sub-dragon Wyvern from the side.
The Sub-dragon Wyvern maintained its breath while raising a claw.
A magic circle unfolded before the claw once more.
But Eomer was prepared this time and wouldn't give the wyvern another chance to cast magic.
Emerald Vines coiled tightly around the wyvern's claw.
Nephalian left an afterimage in the air, her rapier sinking deep into the wyvern's limb.
Enraged, the Sub-dragon Wyvern locked onto Nephalian, turning its dragon flame into countless fireballs that rained down on her.
Nephalian dodged nimbly through the barrage.
Brock immediately commanded the Heroic Gargoyle to charge into the fireballs.
The Heroic Gargoyle swung the Nail of Sealing, precisely intercepting every cluster of flame.
Using the Heroic Gargoyle as a shield, Nephalian unleashed a flurry of sharp Sword Qi from her rapier.
The Sub-dragon Wyvern flapped its wings and charged with its entire body.
Eomer extended his arms, initiating a new holy art.
Beyond the Emerald Vines, dark red fire-resistant vines burst through the stone floor, firmly binding the charging wyvern.
Three layers of Wind Pressure magic circles pressed down from above!
The Sub-dragon Wyvern's charge was halted by the bindings. It roared in fury, its dragon flame flaring up.
Its immense strength snapped several vines.
However, more vines grew rapidly to replace those that broke.
The Heroic Gargoyle gripped the Nail of Sealing, which was now glowing red from the heat, and stood firmly in front of Nephalian.
Serafina had already reached the wyvern's blind spot.
Brock tracked Serafina's position. He deployed a water-blue magic circle, moving quickly while gathering his power.
As Serafina seized the opening and leaped into the air, Brock stopped and swung his staff.
“Second-rank magic, Torrential Protection!”
A blue magic circle enveloped Serafina. Water flowed around her like silken ribbons, shielding her from the scorching heat.
Serafina gripped her hilt.
Sword technique, Ice Rose.
A brilliant ice-blue rose bloomed in the air before slowly closing its petals, trapping the Sub-dragon Wyvern's wings inside.
The wyvern let out a cry of agony as its wings were frozen inch by inch.
Having executed the Ice Rose, Serafina landed on the ground.
Slash, slash, slash.
Nephalian lunged forward at high speed, her rapier flashing.
Thrust, thrust, thrust.
The two became a blur of afterimages, disappearing as they struck. Countless waves of Sword Qi swarmed the dragon's head, sending blood and scales flying.
The Sub-dragon Wyvern struggled with all its might, but its movements were utterly suppressed.
With every struggle, Eomer's mana drained rapidly.
To prevent his mana from running dry and letting the wyvern break free from the vines, Eomer quickly downed a mana potion.
The Sub-dragon Wyvern's pupils dilated as it tried to track Serafina and Nephalian.
But they were too fast—far too fast!
Serafina and Nephalian moved in perfect sync, their rapier and longsword weaving together in a display of afterimages that looked like an elegant dance.
The fastest second-rank rapier user paired with a peak third-rank swordsman.
It was a total suppression of speed.
Both pushed their limits, their coordination driving them to go faster and faster.
Scales were stripped away; blood flowed continuously.
The flames gradually flickered out, and the dragon's scales grew dim.
With a final thrust, Serafina's blade sank deep into the Sub-dragon Wyvern's throat.
She pulled the blade out, and a torrent of blood gushed forth. The Sub-dragon Wyvern went still, its entire body igniting in dragon flame as it began to burn silently.
Neither Serafina nor Nephalian let down their guard.
Backing away, they watched the burning corpse with vigilance.
From the flaming remains, a longsword wreathed in dragon flame flew out, spinning through the air before embedding itself in the ground.
Simultaneously, a dark iron treasure chest, covered in scorch marks, emerged from the flames and landed nearby.
“The magic sword, Lava Dragon Sword!”
Serafina stared at the sword, her heart pounding.
Her goal in hunting the Sub-dragon Wyvern had been this very blade.
As the dragon flame around the sword slowly dissipated, its true form was revealed.
The dark red hilt was covered in fine scales, and the silver crossguard featured a slender, coiled dragon.
The straight, broad silver blade had a faint dark red tint and was about an arm's length.
Along the spine was a long fuller, engraved with ancient, dark red magical runes.
