Chapter 40 Dragon Fear

The wyverns flew in a circle above the middle of this rocky flat land, surprisingly the top of the mountain was flat made with weird red Rock, it looked natural and unnatural at the same time.

No wyverns dared go near the middle from where the most dragon mana came out. All dragons have an innate ability, this ability makes any monster submit to it, but the main feature of this innate ability is to give rise to overwhelming fear to any being who comes near the dragon. Its called-

Dragon fear.

Even after 20,000 years, the dragon lord's heart gave out dragon fear, striking fear on this wyvern's heart. Normally dragons control their dragon fear ability so as to not harm the living being in their surroundings. A normal human would die from shock the moment it is exposed to the dragon fear this shows this ability's might .

Knowing this, Zick was confident that as long as he reached the middle of this rocky flat land, the wyverns wouldn't be able to attack him.

The sun rose from the horizon with bright light illuminating Zick's surroundings further.

"Haaaa...."

Breathing out loudly through his mouth, Zick started using mana harmonisation in full power, His body got totally covered in a transparent black mana.

Creerrrgh!

The black mana did not go unnoticed by the wyverns, their instincts were able to tell them the enemy's strength. Feeling that defeating it alone would not be possible, all the wyverns moved in a group to take care of the intruder.

Zick took out the sword from its sheath and started running at full speed towards the middle of the rocky flat land.

'Around 300 metres.....'

Calculating the distance from his destination, Zick looked at the wyverns from the corner of his eyes. He knew that killing even one of them now would be hard as they were moving in a group. The best way for him to reach his destination is to dodge their attack and keep moving without stopping.

Creerrrrrrgh!!

The wyverns growl sounded angry as they looked at the intruder. Wyverns are prideful beings who don't like others taking what's theirs. The dragon mana was found by them first so it belonged to them, this was their brain process even though they didn't didn't have any sentience, it still had it's prideful nature of living.

Zick's figure got covered in a huge shadow, the wyvern nearest to his location descendant exposing its sharp claw aiming at him.

Using the sword to parry it, Zick didn't stop running.

Crerrrrrrgh!

The wyvern growled loudly seeing the intruder not even bothering fighting it, the wyverns figure got covered in red light. The wyvern have the special ability to strengthen themselves temporarily.

SWISH! f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

The wyvern leaped towards Zick opening its mouth trying to rip him apart with its fang.

Seeing this, Zick was forced to dodge, stopping his advancement. The wyvern fang appeared at the place where Zick stood in just a second.

Covering his sword with black mana, Zick aimed for the wyverns neck.

SLASH!

His sword could only cut through the upper layer of its skin along with some muscles. He took out the sword which was stuck in the wyvern neck as it tried to use its claw to attack him again, after making a little distance Zick tried to start running.

SWISH!

Suddenly the wyvern's tail extended towards him, becoming blurred for a second. Zick hurriedly brought his sword in front of him to defend against the attack.

CRACK!

Zick was sent flying a few steps away with his sword cracking from multiple places, but he was able to dismiss most of the force behind the attack, Landing in his two legs perfectly, he looked at the wyvern.

The wyvern's body stopped glowing red slowly, seeing that Zick didn't hesitate at all and dashed towards his destination.

After using its special ability for once, wyvern had to wait for a while to use it again, Zick could have tried killing it but...

Crerrrrrrrgh! Crerrrrrrrgh! Creerrrrrrrrrgh!

The angry growls of the wyvern rang out in the sky, they had reached here while Zick was busy taking care of the wyvern which attacked him.

Blocking the wyvern's tail with his sword led to his muscles in the hand to rapture. But it wasn't anything serious yet as it would not get in the way of him fighting so he didn't use a healing potion.

The wyverns were able to follow Zick's speed easily flying in the sky, descending towards him three wyverns started glowing red.

'Just 150 metres more...'

With a resolute look, Zick just dodged all the wyverns' attacks. Even when he dodged the three wyvern another wyvern appeared in front of him.

Crerrrrrrrgh!

Growling it used its front claw to attack, Zick used his sword to parry it.

CRACK!

Zick's sword broke parrying the claw, not becoming flustered he leaped side to dodge the attack of the wyvern from behind him.

Taking a sword out from the space ring, Zick parried another wyvern's claw and looked at his surroundings.

SPLASH!

"Ugh!"

An attack was able to reach him directly cutting through his leather armour making a long cut on his back. Even with blood pouring out profusely, Zick looked around him bearing the pain.

He found an opening in the gap between two wyverns.

He concentrated with his eyes sharpened, using a large amount of mana at once, he dashed towards the opening with his back still bleeding heavily. Getting out of the wyvern circle was the only way for him to survive.

Zick already knew that defeating the wyverns was impossible, he would just die if he tried. The only way to survive is to reach the middle of this rocky flat ground.

Crerrrrrrrgh!

Seeing the intruder moving towards the place they felt the most dragon mana made them angry, their eyes turned red. But their body had stopped glowing red as the special ability time limit had been reached.

Zick just ran ignoring the pain and the wyverns behind him. Slowly he was able to feel the dragon fear too, his hair stood up and he felt fear and tention that he had felt in a long time. Sweat started falling down his chin.

Turning back Zick could see the wyverns not descending anymore, they flew in circles in the sky looking at Zick with their red eyes.

"Ugh!"

His wound on the back just got worse as he kept moving. Stopping in his track Zick took out a high rank healing potion from his ring. Pouring it upon the long claw wound on his back, a burning pain appeared as the potion fought against the red mana of the wyverns.

After a minute, his wound started healing with all the traces of wyvern mana gone but his wound did not totally heal with just one potion. So Zick took out another potion and drank it, seeing his wound starting to heal, he relaxed.

"Sigh..."

Zick sighed in relief, he was able to reach his destination fighting off the wyvern somehow. But this wasn't the end, if he isn't able to get the dragon heart he doesn't have any confidence in getting out of here alive at all.

With a serious expression, Zick headed towards the place which had the most dragon mana. After a few seconds he stopped and looked below him.

'It's below me'

Zick could feel the dragon mana rise from below his feet. He looked toward the wyverns again and then started resting, seeing them not showing Any sign of coming near him.

Being in his peak state would increase his survival chances. But Zick did find something confusing. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦

'I feel three different presence instead of just one....'
