Chapter 52: Technique over brute force
Silva took slow steps back because of the pain that hit him just now; the whiplash was on another level.
Silva had one thought in all his minds right now: this was going to be the greatest fight he had fought so far.
There was no holding back; he would have to pull all the stops.
"Fang, support me to the best of your abilities," Silva said. He took out the Minotaur's rage, his stats increased to about ten thousand, but even with this power, he didn't feel like he could handle that wyvern.
The wyvern took the axe in Silva's hand as a sign to start. It flapped its wings and shot at Silva so fast that it caused a sonic boom.
Fang jumped in front of Silva, summoning all his strength. He came in with a paw attack.
The wyvern saw the paw, but it didn't slow down. It opened its mouth and bit into the paw of Fang.
Faster than Fang could react, the wyvern used its mouth to throw him so far that he slammed into a wall and cracked it.
Silva saw that and it sent shivers up his body. Fang had stats of about eight thousand, yet he was tossed like a bag of potatoes.
The wyvern looked at Silva and fired a thick stream of purple flames. Silva used the axe to block the attack, but the force behind it sent him flying.
He rolled through the ground for a dozen meters before coming to a stop. He got up from the ground as he sensed the wyvern coming from above.
He moved out of the way just in time to dodge the wyvern, but the wyvern was too fast and smart. It swung its tail, it crackled like a whip, hit Silva in his chest, and sent him flying once more.
Even with all his minds working at full power, he couldn't escape the wyvern. The power of the wyvern simply dominated his in all ways.
The wyvern was not ready to allow Silva to get up. It opened its mouth to fire another stream of fire, but before it could, Fang slammed into the wyvern and managed to push it down.
Fang had charged himself up with all the lightning he could. It allowed him to go fast enough to gather enough speed to hit the wyvern down.
Fang tried to pin the wyvern down, but the wyvern bit deeply into Fang's shoulder and ripped out a chunk of flesh.
"Roar!" Fang cried out in pain. He dropped his guard, and the wyvern used that. It pushed Fang off its body and then went in for a finishing bite.
Dark blades, numbering hundreds, rushed at the wyvern, disrupting the wyvern from finishing Fang. It used its wings to block the blades.
When the blades stopped and the wyvern took away its wings, it saw Silva up in the air, coming down with a powerful slash.
The wyvern adapted to Silva's speed and was about to counter, but Silva transformed into his dragon newt form.
His speed increased massively, and with the axe, strength ripped from the power. The wyvern as well was terrified by the attack; it got out of the way as fast as it could.
The axe hit the ground and caused a massive explosion; a fifty-meter radius was wiped out by just that move.
The wyvern knew that attack would have killed it. It couldn't allow Silva to gather the strength for another attack.
It rushed at Silva and fired a thick stream of flames. Silva summoned all his clones; this was not the time for him to try to do it alone. Aside from the fact that the clones were all stronger than him, there was safety in numbers as well.
All the clones used darkness magic to create a large dome that covered them all. The dome was thick enough to block the attack, but barely.
Immediately after the stream of flames stopped, the entire dome shattered.
The clones all charged in different directions, trying to flank the wyvern.
Silva ran towards Fang. He gave him a healing potion, and his wounds began healing up.
Fang got back on his feet and charged at the wyvern. Silva used his dragon newt transformation, increasing his strength even more.
He needed to get another chance to attack like the one he did before. He could tell that the guardian was scared of that attack.
"OG mind, we have a way that could work in landing a good enough attack," one intelligence mind spoke.
"Yes, all the clones should be thinking this as well. You just have to transform, all of you, as you fight you pass the Minotaur's rage around, acting like you will be the one to attack," another mind said.
"Yes, and that would confuse the wyvern, and at the end of the day, you will be able to kill it with a surprise blow when it is too confused," another mind said.
"I see, that makes sense, then let's give it a try. Body minds, you will need to give this your all," Silva said.
He relayed the plan to the clones, and just like his minds said, the clones also had similar ideas. They all transformed into the dragon newt form.
This sudden transformation threw the wyvern off. Fang took that advantage and blasted its head with a thick stream of lightning.
The head of the wyvern swung like a pendulum that had been struck. It forced its head to stabilize. When it looked forward, it saw Silva headed its way with the axe.
It immediately tried to blast Silva with flames, but Silva threw the axe and then used flash step to escape.
This pass-and-dash method continued until it was very fast and had made the wyvern dizzy and confused. Its fear of that attack landing didn't allow it to think straight.
This happened until the perfect opening was found and Silva lifted into the air, with all the power and all the force, and was about to land the hit.
