Chapter 1007 – SwitChapter Guard Formation

Most of the Goblin Wyvern Knights were a little confused in regards to their leader's latest commands until he personally demonstrated what he expected from them. Wyrstriker flew towards the nearest Winged Lion and lodged his spear into its shoulder before he commanded his wyvern partner Iwen to distance themselves from it as quickly as possible.

But how to go against a Winged Lion when it still had the strength and power to struggle against just one strike from the spear?

The answer lies in the very next moment as the spear triggered an explosion by using the energy it had been charged with, however it did not originate from inscription charms but from Wyrstriker himself!

With a great number of monsters exposed to cultivators, these minions of Jin had their chi points miraculously activated. For the misinformed, they believed they wielded magic though some were not wrong.

Because of the closeness of mana and chi circuits, it was easy to misidentify until the System informed them so. Yet, the System also saw a small yet significant change among these monsters. It found out that the constant use of Jin's Sludge around them caused the monsters to have a mixture of mana and chi points power activated, which should not happen in theory.

Still, Jin's sludge was a mystery even to the System that it had yet form proper theories on how to fully utilise it. Therefore, the System only informed the monsters what they had unlocked according to the majority of points they had activated. For example, Wyrstriker had 15 chi meridian points and 4 mana focal points opened so far and the System merely stated that Wyrstriker had the ability to manipulate chi.

Even his wyvern had a few chi meridian points opened, although in his case, there was a greater amount of mana focal points in his circuit. That alone had already reinforced his body to withstand the constant struggling of the Winged Lion while he focused on sending the Winged Monster up towards the skies.

Unconsciously, Iwen activated the air boosters with his chi and they zoomed higher to the thunder clouds which the wyvern sent an air blast to push the Winged Lion away from Wyrstriker's spear.

The Lion regrettably had been buffed by the Nine Ocean Phoenix's magic and with the release from the clutches of Wyrstriker's explosive spear, it wanted vengeance by swooping towards the Goblin Wyvern Knight Leader who was at least two times smaller than it.

However, before it could reach Wyrstriker and enact his retaliation, a flash of blue and purple bolt flew hit the lion, disintegrating it before it could even wink for the last time. Wyrstriker blew out a small sigh of relief and quickly aimed for the next monster.

The Goblin Wyvern Knights watched what Wyrstriker expected of them, yet it would undoubtedly be a dangerous task. Only a few of their wyverns had strength rivalling Iwen's. (He was their leader for a reason after all.)

Still, that did not mean they were unable to replicate it and in fact, the Goblin Wyvern Knights immediately stuck to a particular formation which had been practised in the Goblin Military. A formation which had been drilled into their brains.

The Switch Guard Formation.

The formation relied on two Goblin Wyvern knights that were intimately in synch with each other. Lacking the sufficient strength to compete against the aerial threat, the Goblin Wyvern Knights relied on the technology they had attached to their wyverns as they boosted their speeds while approaching a Winged Monster far larger than them. Once near enough for an attack, the lead Goblin Wyvern charged in with their air boosters at the maximum and his semi charged spear ready. Using the blast of wyvern fire acted as the opening volley, they swooped in and counter the Winged monster before it could do any thing to retaliate.

Naturally, the Winged Monster was able to evade the blast of fire but in doing so, the Goblin Wyvern Knight had already tricked the beast into moving exactly where he wanted him to, so he pierced the Winged Ape with his might. However, it was still able to defend itself by bringing up its arms to prevent the strike from reaching his vital spots.

To its surprise, the Goblin Wyvern Knight was not exactly looking to penetrate his vital spots and instead focused on breaking its defences by releasing its charged spear into a forceful air impact before flying away. This caused the Winged Ape to propel backwards and closer to the Thunder Clouds but not near enough for a decisive strike by Ayse and Keyrin. That was when the second Knight who had been building up its speed, swooped into the defenceless ape and slammed its spear right in the middle of the Winged Ape.

The Wyvern's air boosters were pushed to the max once more and even the spear which had been revamped to have its own mini air boosters for more penetrative powers were activated to push into the danger zone.

The Winged Ape was unable to react to this quick switch of their attack formation and suddenly felt extremely numb.

Upon closer inspection, the Winged Ape realised that the bolts were grabbing him like a bird's claw only with it embodied with high voltages of electricity. That was also the signal for the Goblin Wyvern Knight to release himself away from its prey as the lightning blot claws clutched and squeeze the lift out of the Winged Ape by burning it into ashes.

"So this is why you had been keeping your powers eh?" Wyrstriker caught a glimpse of the attack and spoke in the System Channel.

"Got to give credit to that magical horse though." Ayse, now formless after merging with Keyrin in the thunderclouds, answered. She was impressed that Keyrin had not merely charged into the clouds and burst the flying horde. Instead, the Elder Demon has been busy electrifying the clouds to turn the entire airspace into his territory. That way any monsters flying too close to the clouds would be killed.

"I AM A RAM FOR GOODNESS SAKE! *cough* While Master Jin did say to slow them down or perhaps strike the horde before they could hit, I am but one magical ram. A solitary ram king in the grand scheme of things. So, I thought of stuff only that one magical ram could probably do. Fortunately, Wyrstriker was able to figure my plans out on his own."

"Not really. It's just a coincidence that I thought of it when I remembered you two should be doing something." Wyrstriker chuckled as he once more brought another flying monster to the clouds for an electrifying execution.

"But you have to worry no more! For the new and improved Forneus is here!" A large portal suddenly appeared right in front of Wyrstrike and Forneus' Devil Dragon charged into their ranks, taking the lives off a couple of winged monsters with its claws and jaws.

The Mecha Devil Dragon blast out an energy beam from the mouth and aimed directly at the Nine Oceans Phoenix. The Leader of the Winged Horde easily deflected the beam to the skies and stared at the newest threat.

"Ho. This firebird is one feisty prey. It will be a worthy foe to test my skills against it!" Forneus shouted as he charged forward.
