1136 The battle for Maynard Island (13)

Monica's grin widened, a predatory gleam in her eyes. Without warning, she leaped back onto the wyvern's back.

<Shit, I hadn't analyzed her yet!>

But the woman was too far now, and based on the beast she commanded, he wasn't even sure he would be able to do that during the battle. <Nevermind… It won't make a difference anyway.>

As the woman took to the sky, she raised her hand. The dragon opened its jaws and spewed forth flames. It was only that, coming from a beast like that, it looked like a huge chunk of the ocean had been ripped from its abode. It was just that; it wasn't water that started flooding the battle site, but a ravaging fire. The Chimaeric Demons that had gathered to protect Erik got turned into cinders in seconds.

"You bastard!"

Erik didn't have much time. If he wanted to defeat the woman and the undead she had under her command, there was only one thing he could do. He turned to one of his Chimaeric Demons.

<Bring them to me. Now.>

The clones knew what he was talking about: the blood vials and brain crystals from the three Vindicators.

Vex's powers were going to be useful because the beast was more powerful than him, and if Vex had been able to keep up with him thanks to it, then he would be able to do even more with it. They would consume a lot of mana since Erik would not have neural links for them, but at least he would be able to fight on equal ground with the beast, if even a little, and teleport whenever he could not avoid an attack.

However, if he really wanted to win against this creature, he needed for the Chimaeric Demons to keep fighting. He needed the mana the blackguards had because he was sure his mana would never be enough to kill that thing. Erik needed to pump his attacks with as much mana as possible so as to make an attack not even that thing could defend against.

As Monica ascended, the remaining clones rushed to Erik's side, handing him the items. He quickly consumed the vials and swallowed the brain crystals.

[10,000 DNA points each are required to extract the DNAs and the Brain Crystal Powers. 50,000 each to get them without incurring pain and loss of consciousness. 55,000 each to absorb them instantly. What do you want to do?]

"Are you even asking it?"

[Geez, you are a pain. Sufficient DNA points detected.]

[Blood absorbed. DNA-storing procedure started.]

[Procedure complete.]

Erik knew he needed to protect the remaining Chimaeric Demons. Monica would undoubtedly try to use them as hostages if he left her the chance to do so. But he couldn't surrender—the stakes were too high, and he had no intention of giving himself to people who would just kill him anyway. As much as it was cruel, the Chimaeric Demons could be replaced.

<This doesn't mean I'm going to let them die…>

However, the greatest worry for Erik were his lovers. While the Chimaeric Demons were going to have more chances of surviving, Amber, Mira, Emily, and June didn't.

<You,> Erik mentally said to one of the clones. <Find Amber, Mira, Emily, and June. Get them to safety, but keep them close enough for Emily to be able to take a shot at the commander. Go, now!>

The clone nodded and left. Erik then took to the sky, his wings unfurling as he rose to meet Monica and her undead mount.

"Impressive," Monica said. "You really have dozens of powers, but they won't be enough for me to stop killing you and your troops. I just need to fight close to the ground."

Erik's eyes darted to the ground below, where his clones were starting to go in a frenzy. "I don't need to protect them," he said. "I just need to kill you!"

Monica laughed. "Let's see then..." She raised her hands, and the very air seemed to thicken.

From the ground, corpses rose. Fallen soldiers, both Blackguards and Erik's own forces, jerked to life with unnatural movements. "Shit!"

Erik released a series of wind blades toward the woman, trying to stop her. But the wyvern acted on its own and shielded her.

"You're a monster!" He said as the corpses were raised from the dead.

"I prefer to think of me as... pragmatic. Why let good soldiers go to waste?"

The undead wyvern let out an ear-splitting roar, its wings beating furiously as it charged towards Erik. He barely had time to raise a shield before the creature's massive jaws snapped at him.

The young man retaliated with a burst of lightning, the electricity arcing across the wyvern's decaying flesh. To his horror, the creature seemed barely fazed by the attack, as if electricity didn't even travel across the body.

"Shit…"

"It won't work!" She paused. "Did you really think I came here without preparing for elemental attacks?"

"You bitch!"

Erik gritted his teeth. He needed to kill Monica, or the Chimaeric Demons were going to be wiped out. Making an army like that again in a short amount of time was impossible, and he was sure that if he gave more time to the third division commander, she would prepare an even deadlier thaid to command, and that was without considering the other division commanders.

<I need to destroy that wyvern…>

He dove, weaving through the air as the wyvern gave chase. Its massive form was agile, matching Erik's movements with unnerving precision.

<It's not even going at full speed!>

On the ground, the battle had devolved into chaos. The Chimaeric Demons found themselves fighting not only against the blackguards but even those they already killed, aided by their brothers' bodies. While the blackguards could be killed relatively easily, doing the same with the other Chimaeric Demons wasn't as immediate nor as simple. Erik's troops struggled, making his worry increase. He wanted to help them fight on the ground, but he knew the biggest danger was in the sky. <If I kill Monica, her army of undead soldiers should collapse.>

Erik spun around to face the approaching wyvern. He focused and created an enormous wall of ice right in front of it, keeping it afloat with Levium's powers. The wyvern smashed into the ice wall, increasing the number of injuries marring its body, but going through it as if it were made of butter.

"HAHAHAHAHA! I told you, it's useless!"
