Chapter Thirty-Seven

Ambrose appeared on the summit of a large mountain that overlooked the rest of Avalon. A large crystal was set into the ground with runes inlaid and extending into the stone around it. The crystal was dull, flickering with dark gray light. The mighty wind blew around the summit in a fierce gale that would have blown Ambrose clear off the mountain without his D-Grade Strength. As it was, Noelle billowed around him like his own personal sail.

Ambrose used [Insight] on the crystal.

[Avalon Elemental Ward Crystal]: One of the four ward crystals of Avalon. This one protects the island from elements and powers the island’s elemental defenses. It’s weakening and will soon run out of mana.

Ambrose’s brow furrowed. He should have known about the crystals, and yet he didn’t. Typically, the knowledge was just there when he considered anything about the island. He knew about this summit, the mountain as a whole, the lake of lava, the cavern with the yeti, and the graveyard and catacombs that ran beneath it. All of that he knew, and more besides.

The crystal? Nothing. He knew about the mana crystal mine that Reaver had taken him and the others to and, of course, the crystals deep beneath the depths of the island that held Avalon’s prisoners captive, but that was it. It sounded important, which was why he should have known about it. He made a mental note to ask Vivienne about it as he scanned the area for threats. He could always back out with the key if needed, but he didn’t want to do that unless he had to.

What is that sound? Ambrose wondered. He couldn't see anything on the mountain's summit except the crystal and him. A tingle went down his spine as he flicked his one eye to the sky.

A dragon soared towards Ambrose. A large lizard like beast with wide wings and dark grey scales that almost blended it into the clouds it roared out of. Its eyes were an ugly purple, red light swirling within them.

It was as if someone had actually managed to bruise the eyes of the beast. Its snout was wide, and it opened its mouth to reveal a maw of razor-sharp teeth. Red and green motes of light lit up the back of its throat, coalescing, and building.

Ambrose wasted no time waiting for the creature to attack him with whatever that attack was. He activated [Infernal Aegis], blanketing the area in fear and doubt before summoning his axe and diving out of the way of the beam of pure destruction the dragon released at him.

Stone burst apart, chunks spewing through the air where Ambrose had been previously. He came out of his roll and ducked behind a large rock nearby.

Alice would think this is so cool if it wasn't for the fact that it was trying to kill me. Ambrose peaked his head up to use [Insight] on the creature.

[Wind Wyvern-Modred’s Avatar Level 100]

Not a dragon then. Ambrose felt his lips tug downward in disappointment.
