Immediately after Wain activated the Code of Light and Darkness, the wyvern noticed his presence and opened its eyes. They were as deep as the ocean and as majestic as thousands of years of glaciers.
Wain did not wait for his opponent to attack. He used Lightning Boots and ran at the wyvern with lightning speed. Wain was fast and should have struck after a few seconds. However, the wyvern was not going to let him get any closer.
Whooosh.
The wyvern raised one paw and instantly brought it down without rising from its seat. This blow was mighty. Not even Oblivion Thunder could do such destruction in a single charge.
There were many cracks in the ice, and everything around it shook. It was like a small earthquake. The shockwave from that impact was so powerful that Wain was tossed aside. The slippery ice made it impossible for him to stay on his feet. He had to bounce off the wall.
At that moment, the wyvern rose and roared furiously.
"Roooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr!"
The roar of the wyvern was like a bugle that signaled the beginning of the apocalypse. Any creature below First Chronicle would have shuddered with fear, and its heart would have burst with the impending terror.
"This is going to be rather problematic..." Wain muttered.
He hadn't expected the wyvern to be so strong. One lightning attack and the roar were enough to make Wain realize how dangerous his opponent was.
'Maybe I should use the Furious Lion Amulet. No... this item gives me too much amplification. I should leave the amulet for the area where the Sorcerer's Soul is. But, I can use the bombs.' Thought Wain, and the next moment several items appeared in his hands.
He was about to bind two bombs with the Spider Bundle for Bombs. In his left hand appeared Edge Blast and a yellow crystal, and in his right hand appeared Imp's Needle Bomb and an ice web.
However, Wain took his time combining the bombs. He had a problem. First, he had to insert the yellow crystal into the hollow cube and link the two bombs together. But, he would only have several seconds to do that, after which the cube filled with energy would explode.
He had to wait for the right moment and create the proper conditions. Otherwise, he would not be able to use the bombs as effectively as possible. Moreover, he was unsure that he could use the bombs to kill the wyvern. The best he could do was inflict a few severe wounds on the wyvern.
Moreover, the wyvern was not about to let Wain prepare a weapon that could kill it. The wyvern stared fiercely at Wain, and the next moment a chill began to emanate from its mouth.
Wain did not know what kind of attack was, but he swiftly shifted the items back into the Ring of Damned and braced himself for evasion.
Then the wyvern opened its mouth wide, and the icy torrents came crashing down on Wain. Wain's eyes flashed, and he turned into a blue flash. He was surprised, as it was a real icy breath, like a dragon's.
He was about to dodge and use the bombs, but suddenly he saw that the wyvern did not stop its icy breath. The wyvern simply turned its head toward Wain, and the icy breath almost fell on him again.
Moreover, the icy breath increased in power and size over time and gradually caught up with Wain even though he was using the Code of Light and Darkness.
Wain frowned. He knew that he would be turned into an ice statue in a few seconds, but at that moment, a plan to get out of this situation appeared in his mind.
Ice Breath was a massive and dangerous attack, but it had one fatal downside. The wyvern could only breathe ice around itself, and so it had one unprotected place: belly.
Whooosh.
Wain turned sharply, with such force that the ice beneath his feet cracked, and ran toward his enemy. The wyvern did not expect such insolence and tried to kill Wain, but Wain had already been under it.
Bam. Bam. Bam.
Wain began to attack sharply, striking multiple times in seconds. The wyvern's entire body was covered in dense, protective scales, but the belly was always the most unprotected place.
Each blow Wain struck was like an iron hammer, striking with all its might. His fists gradually shattered the thin scales on its belly, causing the wyvern many wounds.
The wyvern roared furiously and spread its wings apart. The monster rose into the air, but Wain was not about to let his opponent take advantage of his position.
Wain bounced off the ground and jumped high. He caught hold of the wyvern's tail at the last moment and gradually climbed onto the monster's back.
The wyvern tried to throw him off by slamming its body against the solid walls of ice, but wyvern failed. Wain dodged masterfully, and all the wyvern achieved was a multitude of bruises on its massive body.
"Roooooooooaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr!"
The wyvern roared furiously again, a different roar than the previous one. There was no anger and rage in it. Roar looked like the wyvern was calling for help.
After a few seconds, almost a hundred different monsters ran into the cave. Among them were lizards, ice spiders, and golems, as well as elementals.
Wain killed quite a few creatures on the way down, but not all of them. He was surprised and wary, for each of these monsters was a First Chronicle.
Wain realized that he would not handle them all if they were aided by a wyvern. Even for him, it was an impossible task.
'Damn, originally, I wanted to put bombs in the wyvern's mouth so its head would explode like a watermelon, but it looks like I should change my plans immediately.' Wain thought, and the Ring of Damned glowed brightly.
He had little time, for the monsters would run in their directions after the wyvern landed. In that case, Wain would have virtually no room to maneuver.
Wain quickly inserted the yellow crystal into the hollow cube, after which it began to fill with energy. Wain only had a few seconds before it exploded.. He understood that, so he quickly used the Spider Bundle for Bombs.
