Fly.

This is a very important Spell for Wizard.

However, this Spell also has a very large limitation: the Fly requires the Spellcaster to maintain it, making it unrealistic to bombard enemies from the air, as this requires a very difficult feat to Feat. Fighter jets need to fly back and forth to carry out continuous attacks, so it is natural that Wizard would have even higher Feat requirements if they wanted to cast spells while in flight.

Those are the [Combat Casting] and [Flyby Attack] Feat.

Without these two Feat, forcibly casting a spell could result in Spell, causing the person to suddenly fall from the sky.

Soren has no Feat of Flyby Attack, nor any Feat of Combat Casting.

Therefore, he has no way to cast Spell in the sky, and the chance of failure if he does cast Spell is over 90%!

However, being in flight doesn't prevent him from performing other actions, such as nocking an arrow and drawing his bow. This action isn't considered casting a spell and is within the control of the Fly. Therefore, as Soren's figure took to the air, he fired three arrows in quick succession. Although not as fluid as on the ground, he still managed to find his balance thanks to his superior agility. Casting a spell while in flight is equivalent to maintaining two Spell simultaneously, but firing an arrow while in flight is a separate process.

Slurp slurp!

Three arrows flew out, one hitting the lower back of the Wyvern, one hitting the side of its Wyvern, and the last one hitting its lower jaw directly, with half of the arrow shaft penetrating into its jaw.

--"Lethality determination!"

Soren's attack seemed to have triggered a lethal attack; the Wyvern out a mournful cry, shook itself, and then its massive body swayed and plummeted downwards.

The powerful Saving Throw of the Draconic species exempted it from lethality, but it slowly fell from mid-air.

at the same time.

A series of data prompts also appeared before Soren's eyes:

"Target hit!"

"You dealt 16 points of piercing damage to the target!..."

"You have obtained partial information about the [Precise Shot] Feat."

"Target hit!"

"You dealt 27 points of piercing damage to the target!..."

"You have obtained partial information about the [Moving Shot] Feat."

"Target hit!"

"You dealt 54 points of piercing damage to the target!... Hit the enemy's vital point!... Triggered Death Saving Throw!... The target survived the Death Saving Throw!..."

"You have obtained partial information on the [Flight Shooting] Feat."

A dense array of information prompts appeared, even causing Soren to pause in surprise. He himself hadn't expected so many Feat Information Prompt to appear at once.

The most important attribute affecting ranged attacks is agility, Soren is already in the near- Legendary Domain in agility.

Therefore, he possesses a natural talent for archery. Even though he wasn't very familiar with it before, he mastered it quite quickly, not to mention the many other Feat he has. That's why the Boss of the Drow Warrior suggested Soren try archery, because he saw Soren's talent in this area. The Quasi-Legendary stats enhanced Soren's ability to master archery, and also greatly increased the speed at which he learned this Feat. Soren had already discovered this before; the speed at which he learned Feat was significantly increased under temporary stat boosts.

The Wyvern was about to crash to the ground.

The native Slave it had begun hunting had already fallen, their corpses nearly mangled beyond recognition. Although it hadn't fallen directly, it had lost its balance and would have been crippled if it hadn't died.

Soren didn't rush down to reap the Slaughter Experience; instead, he set his sights on another Wyvern.

Slurp!

This time, Soren slowed down a little.

He aimed at the Wyvern's head and fired directly. The arrow flew like a cold glint, but due to the air and wind speed, it deviated slightly and struck the Wyvern below the neck, missing its vital head.

The information prompt did not appear.

The first Feat information prompt is the easiest to obtain, while the difficulty of obtaining the subsequent two will gradually increase, and all of these require time to accumulate.

Aww!

A scream rang out.

The Wyvern released the corpse from its claws, then flapped its Dragon Wing violently to accelerate, flying directly towards the distant mountains.

It was afraid.

Even monsters feel fear, especially when one of their own kind falls in such a short time.

Slurp slurp!

Soren Rapid Shot, emptying his entire arrow streak in one go. Unfortunately, the arrows' power decreased significantly after the distance was created, and only a portion of them hit the Dragon Wing, causing insufficient damage to threaten the Wyvern.

The speed of his Fly couldn't match that of Wyvern flying at full speed. Soren watched as his enemy flew further and further away.

In the end, he could only land helplessly.

Flying is much easier for creatures with wings, and Dragon are still the rulers of the skies; few people would engage in aerial combat with Dragon.

Snap!

Soren landed lightly on the ground, followed by cheers from his men and the sounds of other pirate leaders approaching.

He charged straight at the falling Wyvern. Even falling from such a height, it still swayed and maintained its shape. It didn't die instantly upon landing, but it had fractures in its legs and abdomen. Not far away was the corpse of a native Slave, its abdomen pierced by a dragon's claw, with a large portion of its intestines spilling out.

Soren's expression was cold as he approached with a frown, then slashed at the Wyvern his blade.

Pfft!

A spurt of blood gushed out.

Soren severed the Wyvern's head, then frowned and gazed at the distant mountains.

"Your Mightiness!"

The Half-Elf first mate and the Red-Haired Female Pirate approached. Upon seeing Soren, they bowed slightly. The Half-Elf first mate said, "These are the two Wyvern that attacked the Slave. One of them had a scar on its tail. I remember it very clearly."

Wyvern.

Challenge Rating Draconic of level 8-12, with CR between 15-18. A small number of special bloodlines can reach the Legendary Domain.

Soren glanced at the Wyvern carcass in front of him and slowly said, "Have someone take the carcass back."

"These Wyvern won't dare attack again for now. We'll deal with them in a couple of days. We also need to clear out the monsters in the vicinity."

The Wyvern looks somewhat like Pteranodon from the Jurassic period.

They are quite large, with sharp claws and fangs, making them very aggressive. Their long necks are a relatively obvious weakness.

As a relatively difficult Draconic species to deal with, Soren's subordinates would find it somewhat challenging to defeat them.

The others arrived quickly.

A single Wyvern weighed nearly two or three tons, and it took twenty or thirty people to carry it back.

A Bearded General pirate carried the Pteranodon's head. Once they returned to camp, someone immediately lifted the Pteranodon's head, followed by cheers from the pirates below. Even many of the Slave cheered, looking at Soren with awe. Strength always prevails, Wyvern's continuous attacks instilled fear in the Slave. However, the creature they dreaded was so easily killed by Soren.

He's a completely different person now!

The Pteranodon that Soren once challenged in a life-or-death battle is no match for him now.

When Soren returned to the camp, Goria also happened to come out; she had come out to see what was happening after hearing the cheers outside.

Goria glanced at the blood- Wyvern carcass in the distance, frowned slightly, and asked, "What happened?"

Soren smiled at her and said slowly, "There's a Pteranodon nest nearby that just attacked the Slave. I killed one, and the other escaped."

Goria nodded slightly, raised her hand to brush a strand of hair from her earlobe, and said playfully, "Do you need my help?"

"No need," Soren smiled and said, "I'll take care of them tomorrow."

"Focus on studying the Magic Circle. Ideally, you should create a Portal that can be opened and closed. The Shadow Plane connected here always give me a strong sense of danger. Being able to come and go freely will make things much easier for us."

Goria nodded and said softly, "Yes, I know."

The Wyvern was quickly carried away to be skinned and its tendons removed, as the pirates were eager to taste the Dragon Meat.

The Drow Warrior were also pointing and whispering. As agile Warrior, they couldn't afford the expensive Mithril Adamantine armor; the supernatural leather Leather Armor made of Dragon Hide was the best armor they could get. However, the Drow Warrior were hesitant to speak up, because they hadn't fully pledged allegiance to Soren yet, and their status was inferior to that of the Elite Pirate. In fact, only a small portion of the Supernatural Weapon brought back from the North were distributed to the Drow Warrior; the majority were used to arm Soren's core pirate forces.

Rewards should not be given arbitrarily.

If we only think about winning over the Drow Warrior, won't we discourage the pirates below?

These pirates are now Soren's most loyal followers.

On the other side.

The Drow Warrior Boss, Dark Blade Andri, gazed at the scene before him, lost in thought. After a moment, he summoned a Drow Ranger, whispered a few instructions, and then said, "Send someone to deliver the message back."

"He's getting stronger and stronger!"

"Warn those stubborn females, don't act rashly! This man is not so easy to manipulate! They only think about using his strength to expand their tribe, but they haven't considered that what feeds them is a ferocious tiger!"

A proud female Drow.

These female Elf, who hold a dominant position in the Underdark and whose status is far superior to that of the males, have not yet fully accepted Soren's identity.

This is very dangerous for Dark Blade Andri!

He knew all too well how dangerous this Throat Cutter was, and how Cruelty his methods. He feared what terrible things might happen when the man's patience wore thin.
