Chapter 50 : Chimera (Part 3)

Meanwhile, at Matilda's place...she and Silvi were facing a dreadful monster that soared into the sky with its wing.

*KIAAAAAA*

[Chimera] that took a name of the sky itself, [The Guardian of the Sky, Himmel]. A wyvern with a red skin and a gigantic body that looked very close to a real dragon.

Himmel was still able to flap its wing in the sky even after receiving another blow of her magic.

*BZZZTTT* *BZZZTTT*

*BOOM* *BOOM*

*KIAAAAAA*

In front of that monster, Matilda pointed her hand towards it, hurling another Magical attack towards it.

Silvi on the other hand, was on her side the whole time since Matilda wouldn't allow her to join in yet.

The two of them were flying in the sky using a magic item which allowed them to use magic called [Fly].

"Obaa-sama, can I go in now?" Silvi gotten worried seeing her grandmother has been pushing herself a bit too much towards this monster.

"Hahaha~ Nope~ but I never thought that monster still survived after receiving so many high-class magic." Matilda spoke.

Like she said, Himmel that was flying in front of them have finally sustained damage from her magic now.

It only left small burns and cuts all over its body though and it's pretty much still alive.

'Of all magic that I shoot towards it...only high-class magic that was able to penetrate its magic resistance...while the middle and low-class magic couldn't even leave a scratch on it.' Matilda observed.

'Seems like its body have [Anti-magic] property that is able to neutralize all magic but....sadly~looks like it has its limit.'

Matilda then realized the cause of why her magic didn't work.

'[Anti-magic]....it's been so long ever since that one demon with troublesome ability like this....but according to Iris' information, one of his arm was used for experiments...'

Something finally clicked into place in her mind.

"Aaahh~ I see~ so you have [The Ashura] genetic on you~ what a good specimen." Matilda smirked.

"But since I am slowly getting exhausted and brute force isn't my thing....Silvi~ I leave this to you~" Matilda called.

Silvi flew towards her side, "Yes, Obaa-sama." She responded with her expressionless look. Silvi has been getting really anxious for a while now and when she's finally being called to help, she's overjoyed. She didn't let it show though.

But now, she has to face the enemy that her own grandmother has a hard time to defeat.

So she decided now it's time to be serious.

"Obaa-sama, can I have a permission to use my whole strength?" Silvi asked.

Matilda who was about to relax, giggled softly when she heard her question.

"Do you even need to ask?~ That thing can withstand almost all of my magic, and besides...I want to rest now~ so....

Go wild~"

With Matilda permission, Silvi took off her cloak, revealing what she's wearing completely.

She has silver bob hair, a pair of violet eyes and was currently dressed in her maid outfit completed with some armors attached on some parts of the clothing. There's also a pair of swords right on the back of her waist.

*CLINK* *SHINGGGG*

.

.

.

.

*CLINK*

She unsheathed both of them and then letting out a dangerous white and chilly aura around her.

*KIAAA*???

Himmel tilted its head as it was observing her, it also seemed to sense danger coming from the human.

Meanwhile, Matilda folded her legs as if she was sitting on the sky while preparing a cup of tea for herself, smirking as she saw her aura.

Calmu, Silvi observed the monster in front of her and pulled her sword close to her as she looked at the reflection of herself from the blade.

"It's been so long." She mumbled.

Then when the monster growled...

*KIAAAAAAAAA–*

.

.

.

*SHUUSTH*

In a flash...Silvi appeared right above the monster's head.

"You really are noisy..." Silvi glared, lifting one of her legs upwards

And then...

*BUGHHHHH*

*SWOOSH*

.

.

.

*BOOM*

She dropped a kick on its head, making this gigantic monster fell down to the ground with just her feet.

"Ahh–I forgot how much I put my strength!" Silvi sighed, "I guess I need to warm up first, I'm getting too carried away."

Silvi blinked when she realized that wyvern already crashed down towards the rubble on the building that was destroyed from the previous fight.

Matilda giggled as she took a sip of her tea, watching the show.

'She's really improved, just from a simple [Strengthening Magic] she was able to multiply her strength in short time and kicked that monster down with ease.'

Silvi flew down and landed on the ground.

*TAP*

.

.

.

But suddenly...

.

.

.

*BOOM*

The wyvern's head popped out behind the rubbles.

*KIAAAAAAAA*

But Silvi quickly jumped away, dodging the snap of its jaw and gently landed on the top of its mouth.

"Such an impolite behaviour...attacking a woman from behind like that...

I guess as expected from a beast who doesn't have a brain~" Silvi mocked harshly.

The wyvern shook off its head to get rid of her.

"But that's okay~ I shall show you...why am I called as the S-rank Adventurer...[Silver Princess]."

*CLINK*

Silvi adjusted her two swords and dashed towards the wyvern in a flash.

*KIAAAAAAAA*

Himmel growled and rushed towards her as it started crawling on the ground to match her speed.

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

*TAP* *TAP* *TAP*

The wyvern opened its mouth once again, but when its sharp teeth was about to crush her body...

*TAP* *SWOOSH*

She quickly jumped off above its head and around it, then taking her to attack...

*SLASH*

*SLASH*

*SLASH*

*SPURT* *SPURT*

*KIAAAAAAAA*

Silvi swung her blade with such a high speed, leaving injuries on its body.

The wyvern growled in pain but its still trying to counter her. While she's still floating mid air, the wyvern used its tail to hit her.

But something unexpected happened, Silvi dodged that with such an impossible maneuver in the air.

As the tail was inches away from her...

*SWOOSH*

She used one of her hand to hold onto it and spun herself away from the tail, landing on the ground safely.

Silvi sighed as she swayed her hair a bit, "looks like I'm getting warmed up now...let's speed up, shall we?"

As she spoke, she's indeed getting much faster.

*SWOOSH*

Silvi dashed towards the wyvern that was about to turn around and...

*TAP* *TAP*

.

.

.

*SWOOSH*

*SLASH* *SPURT*

...does the same technique again, jumping forwards to the monster and spun her whole body to cut one of its wing.

*KIAAAAAA*

The wyvern whimpered in pain as it lost one of its wing.

Silvi landed on the ground far away from the monster once again.

Matilda who are enjoying her time relaxing high up in the air, was still observing the fight.

"Ara~ despite having a gigantic body and could resist almost every magic that I cast...suprisingly, its physical resistance are lower than expected~"

"But despite that, you still need a strength that could penetrate its skin and agility that matched with its speed~"

"After all, a [Wyvern] have those kinds of trait...but from the looks of it, it had a [Giant] genetic for its gigantic body and that anti-magic property came from [The Ashura]." Matilda theorized by just simply observing it.

"Probably a normal mage and warrior wouldn't be able to stand a chance with it....unless they have the power just like Silvi."

'But...I wonder what kind of person could be able to combine those monsters into one being without getting the penalty of that demon...because naturally demon blood contained miasma and toxic, especially when it came from him...probably it has more than just a poison.'

Matilda wondered who was it that could create such monster before her right now, "Just who the hell are you..."

*KIAAAAAAA*

Matilda shrugged off those thoughts and went back to see the fight below, "Hmm...well...let's save that for later~ it seems the battle is going to end soon~"

*DROP*

Himmel whimpered in pain as its other wing was cut by the silver haired maid.

Meanwhile, Silvi stood right in front of it with her sword covered with its blood.

She swung her swords to clean up the blood off and then sighed softly.

"Haaa...I wanna try something before ending this fight...and this will be my first time trying this technique after knowing the theory from that little boy." Silvi spoke as her lips curved into a smirk.

Silvi is a [Magic Swordsman] just like Iris, however, unlike Iris...she has an affinity element that was very different from the seven which is...

[Ice].

*CRACK* *CRACK* *SWOOSH*

Cold wind started to surround her swords, slowly froze her swords bit by bit.

Matilda who noticed it, widened her eyes then smiled in joy. "Ohhh!~ is she gonna do it?~"

Silvi closed her eyes, focusing the magic on her swords.

Suddenly...all those cold wind sucked into the sword, fusing itself with them.

*CRACK* *CRACK* *SHINGGGG*

As her blade shined and released a cold energy coming from it, Himmel started to feel nervous. It's beast instinct told it to leave the battle right away, but the will that came from one genetic told it to fight back.

Its eyes began to shine red and its body grew bigger.

*KIAAAAAAAAA*

The wyvern growled and crawled towards her with its last strength.

Silvi went on her stance, waiting for the wyvern to come close to her and shut her eyes...

.

.

.

.

"Ice Magic Sword Art....

*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*

Her sword began cracking into some pieces.

.

.

.

"[Frozen Heart]."

With a speed that couldn't be be followed with naked eyes, she ran towards the wyvern that seemed to freeze in time

And then...

*SLASH*

.

.

.

She swung her blade...

*SLASH*

.

.

.

And swung it once again...

.

.

.

As if the time itself have stopped...

.

.

.

Her movement...

It was elegant and beautiful...

*SLASH*

*SLASH*

*SLASH*

*SLASH*

*SLASH*

*SLASH*

*SLASH*

*SLASH*

.

.

.

*SLASH*

*TAP*

In that moment...when the time slowly began to move again, Silvi landed on the ground right behind the wyvern.

*CLINK*

She sheated her blade again.

The wyvern that crawled forwards...stopped its movement...

*SHING*

*SHING*

*SHING*

*SHING*

Its body started to be covered with cuts that seemed to shine from the inside.

And just like that...

*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*

The injuries around its body slowly surrounded with ice, which spread far and wide.

.

.

.

.

Until finally...

.

.

.

.

The poor wyvern was frozen to death.

The fight was finished and Silvi took a breath to relax.

Around the area where she was standing, a small snow scattered around it which came from the frozen sculpture, her creation.

"Phew..." Silvi sighed, looking up to the night sky and the cold breeze brushed her beautiful silver hair.

"I want to see you now...Ojou-sama." Silvi mumbled as she closed her violet eyes.

*SWOOOSH* *TAP*

Matilda landed on the ground right before her and smiled. "You did a great job."

Silvi shook her head and smiled, "No...it's thanks to Obaa-sama as well for weakening its strength."

Matilda giggled, "Don't flatter me~ anyway...how did you managed to freeze this guy when magic cannot be used against it?"

Silvi looked at her while blinking and smiled, "It was a guess, but I didn't know it could work...I was doing the same thing as that boy did...condensing my ice magic into one point then injected them into its body on each cut I made and finally...that's the result." Silvi gestured vaguely towards the ice sculpture of the wyvern

"Heh~ as i thought, but I never thought you could do it."

"It was thanks to Ojou-sama who explained how it works....and that boy."

"Hahaha~ indeed~" Matilda laughed.

[The Guardian of the Sky, Himmel] was killed by none other than Iris' personal maid–Silvi Threston.

However, the fight wasn't even close to over...

*DREP* *DREP* *DREP*

Several horse steps could be heard coming towards them and Matilda stood right in front of Silvi to cover her.

As the horses stopped, several soldiers were seen riding on its back and one of them quickly got off from it and kneeled in front of them.

"Who are you?" Matilda demanded.

"My apologies Matilda-sama...I have something to report from Sir Rowan...because this is urgent." One of them spoke politely.

"Then say it right away." Matilda replied.

The man nodded, "Yes...Sir Rowan...want you to come to Iris Ojou-sama location right away."

Silvi immediately paled upo hearing it, "Did something happen to Ojou-sama?!"

"Silvi! Calm down...let him finish." Matilda spoke but there's no denying that she's just as worried.

"Thank you Matilda-sama...Iris Ojou-sama...

.

.

.

Is in great danger right now."

To be continue...
