1135 The battle for Maynard Island (12)

The ground shook hard, causing Erik to stumble and freeze in place. The vibrations intensified, and the blackguards' base trembled violently.

Cracks appeared on the walls, spreading like spider webs across the surfaces. Dust and small debris rained down from the ceiling as the tremors grew stronger.

The entire structure groaned and creaked, but it wasn't like it was falling on itself. Quite the opposite.

"What the fuck is going on?"

The sound of fire crackling started raising like the gurgling of a drowning man, swimming desperately to come out of the sea, threatening to kill him. Then, an explosion shattered the building from the inside. The night sky was ablaze, illuminated by a fire as bright as the stars shining in the sky. It was just that, following that explosion, a huge black reptilian head came and peered through the fire. Its slit eyes, staring at Erik.

"Shit... SHIT!"

The creature had massive black wings sprouting out from the back of its massively long and thick armored front arms. They were larger than a ship's sails, only that they were pitch black instead of bright white.

The rest of the body then appeared.

"What? How?!"

It looked like the blackguards were controlling a Black Wyvern. Only that thing looked the real deal.

The Chimaeric Demons got restless. Mira, Amber, June, and Emily felt the same. But the blackguards started cheering.

"It's definitely under their control!"

The creature, now free of what remained of the building, drew closer to him. Purpose evident in its eyes. Erik noticed something off about its appearance as it walked towards him.

The wyvern's body was riddled with wounds. Parts of its flesh seemed to rot, with maggots festering in the decaying tissue. It also missed part of its back right leg.

The wyvern stopped before Erik, staring at him from its height, while breathing on Erik with its putrid breath. From atop the creature's back, a figure leaped down.

It was a woman. She landed on the side of the beast's neck, her piercing gray eyes locking onto Erik.

"Commander Velasquez, Third Division of the Blackguards," she said, her voice cold. "I've been looking forward to meeting you, Erik."

Erik felt rage surge through him. This woman was one of the very reasons he had come to this place. The young man didn't know who or how many people were actually leading the blackguards, but this bitch just confirmed she was one of them.

He clenched his fists, forcing himself to remain calm.

"I wish I could say the same, Commander." He paused. "Well, actually, I came here to find you, but I would have avoided it if I didn't have the urge to kill you... You know, seeing your ugly mug is not exactly the first thing I want to see in the morning. Well, even in the night."

Monica's eyes narrowed, but then an amused grin spread across his face. She moved her eyes up and down, squaring Erik as if she were looking at a juicy piece of meat.

"I must admit, I'm impressed by the havoc you've wreaked. Three Vindicators... that's no small feat, especially considering how powerful they turned in these four years. Oh, that is also thanks to you, by the way." She grinned.

Being X-ranked meant they had a fuckton of mana to spend, and as for black wyverns, their power, Wyvern's fire, was A-ranked. Erik knew that well, because that was what made up the fire part of his Frostwind Fire Tempest brain crystal power.

It was probably going to be more. The system computed the estimated experience gained based on the beast's current stats, and it was severely weakened now.

Regardless, Erik knew well how deadly that power was.

Then it came to him.

Erik didn't know what that thing was, nor how really powerful it was. But since it killed a black wyvern on Mannard continent, it must have been at least as strong as the black wyvern in front of Erik.

That was what the blackguards were doing. Killing such powerful thaids was yet not possible for them, but pushing them towards other areas? Possibly somewhere there are stronger monsters who would not look kindly at another thaid's intrusion in their territory? It was, and what if they sent it towards the wyverns?

The creature would end up clashing with them. It already killed one in front of Erik. Back then, Erik couldn't absorb all its mana. He was too far to get it all, yet he still got a ton. If he did, he would have had fewer problems back then.

However, the real problem was, how could the blackguard push so powerful monsters out of their habitats?

It was actually easier than one might have assumed. What humans had to do was destroy their habitat.

Then Monica said something that both surprised Erik and also irked him.

"Join us, Erik," Monica said. Her tone was deceptively light. "Your power, combined with ours... we could reshape this world." Her eyes hardened. "Refuse, and I'll be forced to eliminate not just you, but everyone here."

"I want nothing to do with you fuckers. Not only did you make my life hell for a long time. Damn, after I got our mutual friend, I thought I could have a better life. But hell no, you had to jump in and make it even harder than it was before. Then, hmm... I remember you having tried to kill me quite more than a few times."

"That was necessary, Erik Romano. You refused to cooperate." She paused.

"I don't recall you having ever asked me if I wanted. Regardless, what would have been the point—have my brain dissected and the biological supercomputer stolen?"
