I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 213: Aerial Combat

The wyvern took the challenge head on, using ice breath to try blowing Logan away, but the boy did not back down. Instead, he cast Glacial Veil to shield himself from the cold beam. He only wanted to use ice magic and beat the large lizard at its own game.

Seeing that its breath would not harm the human, the large wyvern took to the sky and began casting ice spears. It knew it couldn’t unleash its full power in a place where others of its kind were present and dared Logan to go up to fight within the top of the dome.

The rest of the onlookers could only see from below, straining their necks to catch a glimpse of the fight. That was until the king ordered them to enter a special array that would teleport them up to some stands near the top of the dome where the wyvern and Logan were clashing. Normally, they would have used this array to get to the top and find a wyvern to fight, but with Logan having the ability to fly, it was rendered useless.

A regular challenger had to battle a wyvern using ice magic—not only to fight them head-on but also to keep the ice below them stable so as to remain in the air. Those who would spectate used their own water magic to keep a thick bridge of ice, allowing the one fighting to stay in the air long enough to see if they could convince a wyvern to bond.

This time, no one tried to create a bridge and only watched as the two sent out magic after magic. While the wyvern dominated in terms of speed and aerial combat, Logan triumphed in defense, keeping the large beast from getting close enough to bite him.

The king smiled with joy, as not even his own son displayed such power when fighting. It reminded him of his own fight with his personal wyvern so many years ago.

Lisa, on the other hand, was ready to jump in at any time. She knew Logan would win, but the doubt of him maintaining his wings while using spell after spell worried her.

Kai was also prepared to intervene and create a bridge in case Logan failed to maintain his magic-created wings.

While the others worried for him, Logan was having the time of his life. He loved having a good fight nowadays and even more so testing a creature’s abilities. To use his monsters’ skills, he needed to personally know them, and what better way to understand them than to face the monster head-on.

While the ice spears and shields were fundamental magic that all ice creatures could use, the wyvern also used one particular skill that surrounded its body in a whirl of ice, causing area-of-effect damage.

Logan was busy casting more shields when he was unable to see as the wyvern extended its area of effect skill, covering them both in snow. He began to tremble, feeling goosebumps form around the exposed parts of his skin.

He really wanted to use fire magic to warm himself up but did not want to win that way. He needed to step it up, and yet the boy did not see the wyvern’s movement as it dove in, breaking one of his shields and causing Logan to cancel his wings for a moment.

The boy plunged down for a few seconds, almost hitting a few chains on his way down, but recasted his wings in the nick of time. He flew back up and created claws of ice. He wasn’t going to win by repeatedly casting ice shields and needed to go on the offensive.

As soon as he got close, he channeled magic in his throat, ready to use Riptide’s Tundra Roar—an ice skill that would probably leave his lips frozen but would be great to make the wyvern lose its balance.

The creature, on the other hand, did not expect the human to get so close. It parried the claws of ice by strengthening its scales with ice and was getting ready to use its large tail to swat the boy away, yet it felt danger from above.

Logan was readying Frostfall as shards of ice formed above them. He tried to make them in a hurry to keep the wyvern from noticing while it was preoccupied with the close-range fighting.

As soon as it noticed, the wyvern tried to fly away, only to have one of its wings grazed by the large pillar of ice. Its blood began to freeze, leaving a large red icicle, while Logan dispelled the magic to avoid hurting the wyverns still under them.

Knowing he needed to attack fast, Logan went with a water skill. He knew it wasn’t ice, but at least when it reached the wyvern, it would turn into it. He went with Hydro Cannon, a high-pressure water skill that, when it neared the frozen aura of the wyvern, turned into ice. It hit the large lizard with great force, pushing it to the side, almost making it bash into the side of the large dome.

It breathed in and out a few times, a little tired from the fight, but its will did not let it give up. It took Logan another blast of Hydro Cannon to make the wyvern wail in pain as it hit the wall.

"How about it, do you give up?" Logan said, readying Agua Shield while huffing. He knew his mana was about to run out soon and did not have the liberty to give the creature more time to recover.

He took out his whip’s handle and used the water from Agua Shield to create the thong of the whip. He used ice to create the cracker, using the remainder of his mana carefully.

He cracked the whip a few times near the wyvern until it cried out in what seemed to be a surrender.

"Good boy, now help me. I will fall soon since I don’t have enough mana to keep my wings up," Logan asked. The wyvern noticed the boy’s wings were about to disappear and swooped down to catch him.

Those in the audience cheered as the bond between the tamer and wyvern formed. The king was probably the happiest; he stood up and clapped, glad to have witnessed a great fight.
