"…Holy shit."
Watching Malutar charge at the wyvern's maw, SoaringSkies1 was imdiately left at a loss for words the mont the man slashed with all his might.
Bang!
With the damage the man dealt taking on a color he had yet to see in action, SoaringSkies1 look at the sight with his mouth slightly agape, only now accepting the fact that Valyr's words were correct.
'However…' Though, after deciding to take another look at the amount of damage Malutar dealt to the red wyvern, he began to slightly frown. 'That's nowhere near enough damage to fulfill the task.'
'That's definitely a lot more damage than what we usually deal… but we're still tens of thousands of points short of completing the task.'
'…Wait a second.' Just as the thought ca to mind, yet another idea surfaced in SoaringSkies1's mind, causing his eyes to glisten as he aid his palms at the wyvern's maw.
'Although Malutar wasn't able to deal enough damage to the wyvern…'
'That doesn't an I can't.'
With this thought further fueling his drive to fight, the man channeled all of the energy towards his hands, making use of the ti Malutar had given them to cast the strongest spell at his disposal.
"[Glaring Impact]!"
Whoosh!
'Surely I'll deal a lot more damage than him!' thought SoaringSkies1 to himself, his fists clenched as he watched the beam of light make contact with the red wyvern.
Bang!
Though the wyvern slightly thrashed about due to the pain it felt from Malutar's strike, the beam still struck it at the maw, causing it to let out yet another howl of pain in anger.
"Wha—" However, contrary to the scenario that unfolded in his mind, the amount of damage his spell dealt was only a small margin greater than the damage Malutar was able to deal to the wyvern.
Considering that there usually existed so deviation when it ca to the damage attacks dealt, that basically ant that SoaringSkies1's spell dealt the sa damage as Malutar's skill.
Whoosh!
Oblivious to the competition that was happening in SoaringSkies1's mind, ILikeLamps and OneTrueJim soon made their moves, serving up their strongest moves to the wyvern on a silver platter.
"[teor Hamr]!"
"[Mount Tai Descent]!"
Bang! Bang!
"This…" Seeing that even the two other guild leaders dealt a similar amount of damage to the wyvern with their own respective attacks, SoaringSkies1 gradually began to look at the situation they were in with despair.
'It's over,' thought the man to himself, slowly shaking his head as he continued to stare at the wyvern.
'We've wasted our final attempt at clearing the world raid.'
'And it's all because we believed that Ataraxia's plan would work.' Shifting his gaze towards the only guild leader among them that was yet to make a move, SoaringSkies1 gritted his teeth in anger.
Ignoring the fact that they would have failed to clear the world raid either way, the man continued to look at Valyr with hate. 'Did he want us to use our strongest attacks so he could collect information on us for the future?'
'…Or did he want us to use our strongest attacks so we couldn't retaliate against their guild's sudden betrayal?'
With Valyr still remaining in place after the four had already attacked, a various number of possibilities began to pop up in SoaringSkies1's mind, unintentionally fanning the hate he towards the young man through his own thoughts.
Yet, that all ca to a grinding stop a few seconds later.
All thanks to Valyr finally making his move.
"[Soul Fusion]."
Whoosh!
Flaring out his aura in its entirety, SoaringSkies1 imdiately felt as if he was being stared at by a predator that wanted to kill him.
Although he was able to endure most of the pressure brought about by the sudden change in the young man's aura, his legs continued to quiver in fear.
'What…' Trying to make heads or tails of the current situation, the man continued to watch Valyr, only to lose sight of him as the latter swiftly charged at the wyvern.
Swoosh!
By the ti he was able to find out where Valyr was again, SoaringSkies1 soon found himself watching the young man hover in midair, the latter's expression greatly exuding confidence.
"[Partial Sky]."
Fwoosh!
Wondering if Valyr was finally going to attack after repositioning himself, SoaringSkies1 was instead greeted by a far more terrifying aura than before from the young man, causing him to finally submit to it as he kneeled on the ground.
'This…' At that mont, his contempt for Valyr imdiately disappeared without a trace.
Taking its place instead was fear towards the young man, a realization about himself, as well as a realization about why Valyr had them unleash their strongest skills at the red wyvern.
'I was wrong.'
'He didn't want us to waste our strongest skills for nothing.'
'If anything, he wanted us to use our strongest skills so we would gain contribution out of it.'
'Because if we didn't…'
'Then only he would gain a reward from the special task.'
…
"To the almighty Arcane, hear my plea."
Taking in a deep breath as he continued to hover in midair, Valyr calmly gazed at the wyvern as he began his incantation.
"Imbue with the strength necessary to smite my foe."
"Grant the energy that transcends realms."
"As your emissary… allow a glimpse at the pinnacle."
Swoosh!
Pointing one of his hands at the wyvern's maw, the young man soon began to slightly grin as he softly uttered the spell he cast.
"…[Noctilucent tanoia]."
Bang!
'-17,679!!'
"…Huh." Watching the beam of black and white light strike the wyvern directly at the opening of its maw, Valyr briefly scratched his cheek the mont he noticed the amount of damage he dealt to the wyvern.
"It's definitely a lot more than what the four guild leaders did in total," murmured the young man to himself. "But it's not enough to complete the task given to us."
Continuing to look at the amount of damage he dealt, Valyr was once again reminded how powerful his other self was, briefly pondering over all of the fortuitous encounters he'd co across for his other self to beco strong.
"Then again…" However, rather than despair over the fact he dealt less damage than he thought he would, the young man instead continued to grin.
"I've yet to go all out."
"[Limit Break: Second Verse]."
"[First Encore]."
"[Refined Offense Aura]."
"[Four Paths Azure Elental Arts: Raging Azure Phoenix]."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Making use of all the buffing skills his other self generally used while fighting, Valyr swiftly felt his strength greatly increase, instilling him with the confidence that his next attack would be able to complete the task once and for all.
"And if it doesn't… I can just attack again," said the young man to himself with a slight chuckle.
"…[Noctilucent tanoia]."
Going through the motions of casting the sa spell again, the young man glanced at the wyvern for a bit before deciding to move his hand slightly upwards.
Because of that, when the spell was finally completed, the beam he shot out aid directly at…
The wyvern's eye.
Bang!
'-73,325!!!'
"Now that's more like it!" Cackling at the dark red value that appeared as a result of his attack, Valyr watched as the fiery ball of energy the wyvern was forming popped as if it were a soap bubble.
Ding!
Receiving a notification from the system not long after that the sudden task given to them was successfully completed, the young man faintly nodded in satisfaction as he thought about deactivating the skills he just used.
However, before he could even do so…
Thud!
Just as the task had ntioned in its rewards, the red wyvern soon fell to the ground with a thud, seemingly unconscious as one of its more vital areas was exposed for everyone to attack.
Wondering whether the system had intentionally caused the wyvern to fall that way for their sake, Valyr eventually decided not to think too deep into it, chuckling as the situation made him ponder whether it was a good idea to waste the opportunity he had given himself.
After all, with his current level of strength, the remaining fight against the red wyvern would beco a piece of cake as long as he made a move.
Watching the mbers of his guild attack the wyvern with greater fervor thanks to his actions, the young man was eventually able to co to a decision, conveying his intentions to the group chat with the four other guild leaders.
Seeing that Valyr planned on making use of his otherworldly strength to clear the world raid once and for all, almost all of the four guild leaders were imdiately on board with the idea.
However, just as they were about to convey their agreent to the proposition, the four guild leaders looked at each other for a bit, wondering to themselves whether the idea was worth it if it ant their share of the rewards would be reduced in exchange.
In the end, the four voiced out their agreents towards their idea, finally giving Valyr the opportunity to continue wreaking havoc with his spells alongside the other mbers of the five guilds.
After all, if it weren't for him, then the possibility of them taking anything substantial from the world raid was practically zero.
And so, with the five guilds continuing to attack the red wyvern and Valyr peppering the wyvern's vital areas with a few fiery orbs…
Khalamitax, the Red Wyvern of Ruin… was eventually no more.
