Chapter 257: The Hunger

When five of the six chains were down, Wain felt a surge of strength. He had no time to comprehend the situation, as every missed moment could have led to his death. He used all that energy to amplify the swing of his sword.

Whoooooosh.

Wain created a crescent-shaped icy blade that sliced the Wyvern's breath in two and headed for the beast. The speed and power of the blade were phenomenal. Confident in its strength, the Wyvern expected to destroy Wain with this attack, turning him into an icy statue, but fate was not on its side.

The icy blade instantly reached the Wyvern and plunged into its left shoulder. The blade left a massive cut on the beast's body, which froze around the edges, but blood continued to flow as if from a stream.

"Roooooaaaarrrr!!!" The Wyvern roared furiously. The pain was horrible and unbearable, and Wain wasn't going to stop there.

He felt he had to keep going to win. This was a chance he didn't have to lose.

Wain clenched his sword tightly and made three lightning swings. The massive blades headed toward the Wyvern, cutting through the glaciers that stood in its path. The blades flew chaotically, like projectiles, each aimed at a different point.

The Wyvern realized that the situation was no longer just serious now. It was a battle to the death. If a wyvern wanted to survive, it had to give its all and use all of its strongest skills and trump cards.

The Wyvern's eyes glowed brightly, and a triangular seal appeared on its chest. Then the Wyvern's body and wings began to transform. The beast became considerably smaller, it was as if the Wyvern was drying out its life force, but it was not.

The Wyvern used the energy it had accumulated over time and compressed it for better effect. The beast sacrificed to size, but in return, it increased all of its other stats, which was only the beginning.

The scales on the Wyvern's body had dulled and taken on a gray, lifeless hue, but they were many times stronger and sharper. The same was true of the claws and fangs, which had become longer and more deadly.

The most important change occurred to the wings. The skin and flesh had temporarily disappeared, leaving only blue, frozen bones. The structure of the wings was slightly altered, transforming them from a device for flight into a deadly weapon.

Three icy blades approached the Wyvern, but they were no longer dangerous. The beast swung its front paws, and the bone wings slashed through the icy blades.

The Wyvern exhaled a massive club of icy steam and headed toward Wain. The beast was much smaller, now only a few times taller than Wain, but its weight and power remained the same and even increased.

Every step the Wyvern took echoed on the ground, and vibrations spread out over thousands of meters. The people fighting outside the ice lands sensed this and looked in horror toward the north.

"Huh, looks like I need to move on to trumps too." Wain uttered, and the ring on his finger glowed brightly. In his hand appeared the item he'd bought from Sven. It was a cube with an image of a creepy jaws on each side.

The Gluttony Seal Cube increased resistance to the attribute of light and darkness and the power of the attribute of darkness attacks, but that was not why Wain decided to use the item now. The Gluttony Seal Cube also increased all stats by 50, which was huge.

Wain poured some energy into the cube, and it glowed brightly. Then purple energy burst from the cube and headed toward Wain's glabella. 

A square seal with various symbols appeared there. Wain felt the power fill his body.

After using the Gluttony Seal Cube, all of his stats became over 400. He was almost twice as strong as the limit for First Chronicle creatures, but the Wyvern was also far beyond that boundary.

Gluttony Seal Cube was a powerful artifact, but it had one side effect. Wain's hunger increased by 10.000% or a hundred times. It had an immediate effect, Wain felt as if he hadn't eaten for days, and when he looked at the Wyvern, he wanted to eat it.

Whoooooosh.

The Wyvern got close enough and flapped its bony wings. The beast sliced through the nearest glaciers and lands. Wain swung his sword several times and created several ice blades, but the Wyvern destroyed it easily.

Wain tried to increase the power of his attacks, but the Wyvern wouldn't let him. The beast ran up to Wain and opened its mouth wide. 

Wain's eyes narrowed, and he bounced to the side, then the Wyvern closed its mouth and destroyed a huge chunk of ground. It was as if a small meteorite had fallen into that place.

Goosebumps ran down Wain's body. He realized that if he hadn't reacted in time or tried to block this attack, the Wyvern would have bitten off half his body.

Wain was one step away from death, and he wasn't going to back down. At that moment, he was smiling as that was what he wanted.

'Huh, my body will be at its limit after this, but I have to do it.' Wain thought, and several gray pillars of energy burst out of the ground.

Then a black crown appeared on his head with a closed eye, and two eerie jaws opened on his arms. Unfortunately, one arm was blocked because of the Cursed Swordsman, but a Beyond was still a powerful weapon.

Whooooooosh.

The Wyvern brought one of its wings down on Wain, blocking it with his sword. The power of the blow passed through his body and headed for the ground, which cracked and collapsed under such weight.

"Argh!" Suddenly some blood came out of Wain's mouth, but it was not because of the blow but because his body was now under serious strain.

His hunger was intensifying because the effects of the Gluttony Seal Cube and a Beyond were adding up. Wain tried to contain the feeling, but he sensed that the beast would break free of its cage at one moment.

Wain's eyes flashed, and he swung his sword. Wain kicked away the bone-winged beast and ran forward. 

The Wyvern crossed its paws in front of it and then swung them sharply in different directions. The bone wings cut through the nearest glaciers and rushed toward Wain.

He couldn't block the attack from two directions, so he had to dodge. At the last moment, he jumped high up, and then the Wyvern did something Wain hadn't expected.

The beast turned sharply with its back to him, and the Wyvern swung its tail at him. Wain only partially managed to put his sword out in front of him, so the tail hit him with almost full force.

Wain flew sideways like a projectile and was buried deep beneath the glacier, which collapsed because of it. Wain threw up a mouthful of blood but immediately climbed out from under the icy debris and sprinted toward the Wyvern.

The beast attacked again, but this time Wain acted instinctively. He dodged the flap of his wing and sprinted away from it. Then Wain ran up the Wyvern's arm and jumped on its neck, thrusting the sword sharply into the beast's flesh.

"AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHH!" The wyvern roared furiously.

Wain was about to strike again and try to finish the Wyvern off, but something stopped him. 

Bright, red blood gushed from the Wyvern's wound. When Wain saw it, his eyes looked like the eyes of a wild beast. He could no longer contain his growing hunger.

Wain let go of his sword, opened his mouth wide, and bit the Wyvern sharply. 

A silhouette of jaw appeared above him. Wain bit off some of the Wyvern's flesh and swallowed it.

The beast roared in pain, and everyone on the island heard it.

...

"What's going on over there!" Someone exclaimed from the center of the island.

"I don't know... but from the sounds of it, there's a terrible battle up north. I shudder to imagine who's fighting there and how..."

"Damn... where did they get so much strength?!"

... 

When Wain tasted the blood and meat of the Wyvern in his mouth, his hunger eased, and his mind returned to normal.. The Wyvern's body was saturated with icy energy, and then the last chain began to shake violently.
