Hunting Witherwing
Sanchez Jorin started climbing Mount Et from different directions at the same time.
They all rode on Thunderwolf, climbing up the cliff face.
Freeze peaks that are difficult for ordinary people to climb, Thunderwolf moves with ease.
The Reaper Lord's Thunderwolf was larger and faster than the Fenrisian's when it charged, and the distance between them gradually increased.
When Sanchez reached the summit, he had already left Jorin several kilometers behind.
The Reaper Lord looked around and found that the summit area was less than one square kilometer.
The cold wind howled and Shriek across the frozen rocks.
The hunter's black eyes were fixed on its prey lying on the rocks. Its wingspan was over ten meters and covered with a thin film of ice crystals.
The edges of the wings are like serrated ice blades, refracting a cold blue light when unfolded, resembling two floating Frostblade scythes.
One of Fenris's most dangerous dragons, the Ice Dragon Witherwing.
"Roar!"
Fenris, the Overlord of the skies, saw the Overlord of the ground invading its territory. It flapped its wings, stood upright with its icy body, and let out an angry roar.
"Aww!"
Thunderwolf roared in response, and with a hunting stride, it approached Witherwing.
On the cliff, Jorin heard the roar of the dragon and the howl of the Thunderwolf, and his expression changed.
Jorin immediately swung his axe, slashing a forearm-length gash across the Thunderwolf he was riding.
The blood froze almost instantly from the cold air, and the Thunderwolf, in pain, ran wildly.
At the summit, the Thunderwolf dodged the first wave of attacks from the Witherwing. The "Hunter" seized the opportunity, using his legs to leap towards the Ice Dragon.
The Witherwing missed its target and took flight, spreading its wings sideways.
The Power Sword, gleaming with blue light, slashed at the Ice Dragon's left wing, its Disruption Field shredding the thin film of ice crystals, splattering out drops of ink-like blood.
The wounded Witherwing immediately realized that the threat posed by the sword-wielding humans was no less than that of the Thunderwolf.
The dragon raised its long, narrow, spear-like head, revealing densely packed icy fangs.
Witherwing took a deep breath, and the Thunderwolf's massive body was pulled toward it.
Sanchez bent slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and stood firm in place.
The Witherwing' eyes were cold and sharp, and it spewed out icy mist from its mouth.
The Reaper Lord and the Thunder Thunderwolf with its claws outstretched their claws as if their blood had frozen, their bodies stiffened, and their movements slowed down, as if they were entangled in Spider Silk.
Sanchez's heart skipped a beat, and the Brainy Cat's black eyes darted around as it raised its paw.
"Accelerate metabolism!"
The man and the wolf's blood flow accelerated, causing their speed to surge.
The Thunderwolf leaped up, its claws gripping the dense scales the size of a fingernail, and opened its blood-red maw to bite down on the Ice Dragon's neck.
The Reaper Lord swung his sword, the Disruption Field piercing through and tearing apart the right wing of the Witherwing.
The Ice Dragon wobbled as it flew up, its body wounded, sensing the approach of death.
"Flying lizard, you've abandoned your territory, don't run away!"
The "Provoker's" Spirituality was rapidly depleting. Although the Witherwing couldn't understand the insulting words, the Overlord of the sky instinctively felt humiliated.
The Ice Dragon roared angrily and turned to pounce on the "Provoker."
This human is utterly despicable. The Witherwing has never loathed any creature so much. Now, the Ice Dragon only wants to tear the human apart, even if it means serious injury or mutual destruction.
The hunter charged toward the Witherwing in three strides, then suddenly frowned as he saw a windmill-like axe swinging toward the Ice Dragon's head.
Sanchez's superhuman senses immediately locked onto Thunderwolf and Jorin.
[Once Jorin attacks Witherwing, it's unclear who killed him.]
The Reaper Lord would not allow his prey to be stolen by others, nor would he allow himself to be humiliated by the Fenrisian, thus bringing shame upon the Legion and the Primarch.
Sanchez uses a telepathic connection to Brainy Cat.
The Brainy Cat raised its paw and slammed it onto the ground.
A faint, almost invisible wave of Psionic Energy swept across the entire peak, causing the Ice Dragon, the axe, Jorin, and his Thunderwolf to freeze for a moment.
That one moment was enough for Astartes.
Sanchez took a long run-up, leaped into the air, and slashed his sword down on Witherwing's head.
The Disruption Field shredded the scales, and the Ice Dragon's head fell heavily to the ground.
The next instant, the giant spinning axe came crashing down.
Sanchez reached out his left hand, gripped the axe handle precisely, and slammed it to the ground, speaking in Juvik.
"Jorin, you're late."
Jorin's face showed even more signs of hardship. Still a mortal, he was unaware of the Psionic Energy that the Brainy Cat had used just moments before.
The physical difference between him and me is too great. If I could become Astartes, I definitely wouldn't lose to him!
Jorin clenched his fists, his desire for the genetic modification the Wolf King had spoken of growing stronger.
While Sanchez was hunting the Ice Dragon, Szczesny was also hunting wyverns at the volcanic vent of the Sea of Storms.
Szczesny learned from the Fenrisian that a dragon named Drax would hover above geothermal vents to keep warm during the winter.
He contacted Tech Sergeant to build a special capture device for hunting Drax.
After the three Dragon Boat were equipped with capture devices, Szczesny led the fleet closer to the volcano and discovered hundreds of flying dragons circling and soaring in the sky.
Five Seas from the volcano, the "Seafarer" stood at the bow of the ship, quickly assessing the surrounding sea and volcanic conditions as a scholar of astronomy and geography.
He immediately gave the order, and the other two Dragon Boat dispersed and headed towards the volcano from both sides.
He gave the order when they were still a nautical mile from the volcano's perimeter.
"Emission!"
At the bow of the Dragon Boat, five "Sailor" had already aimed at Drax with a giant crossbow-like hunting device, and they pulled the trigger.
The javelin was launched into the sky, and when it was still a dozen meters away from the dragon, the sensor on the javelin was activated.
The javelin used the Joegall's Arc Projector technique, its nozzle shooting out a beam of electricity that struck Drax.
The dragon was jolted by the high-voltage electric arc and then wrapped in a large net.
The Shadow of Order pulled the hinge of the turntable, dragging Drax into the sea before he fell into the crater.
An Astartes immediately organized the Fenrisian to jump into the sea and retrieve the dragon.
Enraged by the capture of their kin, the Drax immediately charged toward the Dragon Boat.
The dragons fell into the encirclement created by the "Seafarer," and one by one they crashed into the sea.
When they tried to escape, the three ships, under the "Seafarer's" command, had already linked together end to end, forming an encirclement, and very few Drax managed to escape successfully.
After the hunt, Szczesny summoned a transport ship to send the dragon to the Shadow of the Throne.
Nimrod receives prey daily from the Sea of Storms and Asaheim.
Oldest One, they all came from the Sea of Storms.
As the "hunters" entered Asaheim, the number of land beasts such as mammoths increased.
Among them, the most valuable is Drax, which is the main ingredient for the potion "Provoker," the Sequence 7 successor to "Pyromaniac."
After sending all the dragons to the "Nation of Disorder," Nimrod thought: [I've gathered all the potion ingredients for the "Pyromaniac," but Sanchez has only recently advanced, and it will take him some time to digest the "Provoker."]
As he pondered, the Reaper Lord's Thunderwolf, with the Witherwing bound to its body, returned to the Wolf King's court.
