The Demon King's Paladin

Chapter 132. Wyvern

Sarah, Anna, Ruby and I were on our way south to fight the Wyvern. It seems Wyverns are slightly different than how they're portrayed in media back in my world. Instead of basically being small dragon-like monsters, they seem to be the closest thing to regular dragons. Seeing as the Dragonkin are full of intelligent beings. Wyverns seem to be the less evolved of the Dragonkin. In the same way that monkeys are the less evolved version of Humans. Ruby explained that they're giant lizards with wings and the ability to breathe fire. Depending on what elemental-type they are, they could breathe a majority of different fires powered by their specific element. add onto that, they have hard scales resistant to magic and melee options. It becomes abundantly clear why Ruby was freaking out so hard after hearing the report of the hunter who made it back from scouting in the southern swamps. Sarah and Anna, however had a different reaction than Ruby. When I turned to them after Ruby explained, I asked a simple question.

" Can we kill it?"

Sarah and Anna looked at me with confidence.

" Yes."

Both answered in unison.

" What can its material be used for?"

" Its teeth and claws can be used to forge strong and durable weapons. Having a sword from Wyvern's teeth is considered one of the better options if you can't obtain a sword like Scarlet. For instance, I'd like to have a halberd made from its teeth; Anna would benefit from having a mace made from its claws as well. Besides that, its scales can be made into great defensive armor. Which again, could be given to Anna and me to give us an edge on any enemies that come our way. Also, its meat is delicious, or so I've heard. Apparently, my parents had some at their coronation feast, but Wyverns have been hard to find and kill since then."

" I've heard enough, let's kill it. We can use the meat for the banquet, and we can use its materials to upgrade your equipment and then reward our hunting partners. All agreed?"

Sarah and Anna nodded their heads. I have about 60% of my mana. I suppose we should bring some support. I turn to Ruby.

" Ruby, will you join us?"

Ruby seemed surprised by my words.

" Can we really kill it?"

" Yes, Sarah and Anna can hit it very hard, and I can assure you that I'll keep everyone alive. However, from fixing the walls and roads earlier today, I only have around 60% of my total mana. So, we're going to hit it with everything we have. This fight is going to be quick and brutal. You need to have no hesitation, if you get the chance to kill this Wyvern, Ruby, take it without fear, I'll protect you from any harm, I promise."

Ruby looked at me with a strange face at the last part. Before I could correct anything about what I said, Sarah locked her arms around mine and began to speak to Ruby.

" More or less, for this plan, protect Anna as best you can as we also attack the Wyvern to take its attention off of Anna. The plan will be similar to what Anna did against those crabs... Only with more damaging aftereffects to the surroundings, understand?"

With Ruby's nod to Sarah's words, we quickly grabbed 4 horses while everyone began to freak out as news of the Wyvern had started making the rounds. Apparently, there's a bunker in the lower parts of Paradise, the people began to go down there to hide. We took off and that was the last thing that happened as we started to move south. Before long, we saw it. The Wyvern looked to be about 3 stories high and the width of a large boat. It was breathing fire into the air with a roar. People should be scared of such a sight. And here I was, eager to kill it with my family. I turned and Ruby seemed ready to launch herself at the Wyvern, but it hadn't noticed us yet.
