Swooping down, Evelyn Unleashed a full barrage of her strongest attacks towards the wyvern leader.
Most of the ti she showed restraint, since unleashing all of her power at once could easily harm her allies, but right now her only objective was to eliminate the threat before her.
Unfortunately, her opponent was not one she could simply overpower and let loose a wave of destructive energy that erased her attacks.
'Extre press.'
Once she was in range Evelyn used her strongest gravity magic and pressed down on the pitch-black wyvern with all her might.
This caused her foe to falter for a mont as their body beca several tis heavier.
However, Evelyn had already shown off her gravity magic and the large wyvern was prepared and braced itself.
It was an incredibly strong beast and even under an intense amount of gravity more than forty tis normal it was able to stay airborne, though it could not ascend any higher.
'Damn it.' Evelyn thought as she dodged a breath attack from the wyvern.
Normally after she had sealed an opponent's movents with her gravity magic she could use her wind and fire magic to finish them off with ease, but the wyvern she was fighting was a juggernaut of pure destructive power and not sothing she could just outmuscle when she was two tiers below it.
Quickly she realized that staying at the distance she was currently was detrintal since she had to focus on evasion, so even though she had to move out of range of her gravity magic she flew further away to regain her bearing.
Freed from its gravitational restrains the wyvern let out a loud roar and pursed Evelyn while launching nurous projectiles of black energy towards her.
'I have beaten peak awakened beasts before, but this guy is in another league. Still, I have fought plenty of enemies that were stronger than . I just need to make so space and buy so ti.' Evelyn thought, swiftly making a new plan.
She began leading the wyvern around while moving her claws around in practiced motions.
When faced with a tough opponent she could not take head on, Evelyn ad another strategy she could utilize. Though it took ti and luck to set up.
With careful planning she set a number of gravity traps in the air and making quick motions away from them to prevent the wyvern from crashing into the prematurely.
Eventually she had set up a cage that its large fra could not hope to escape from, and she flew out with the wyvern on her tail.
Yet despite her slowing down to allow her enemy to nearly catch her, the wyvern thinking it was about to sink its jaws into its tired prey was suddenly shot backwards.
A glowing rune in the air activated and it was hit with a heavy gravity.
This started a chain reaction as it was pinballed into the next gravity trap and launched around without being able to stop itself.
Evelyn had used this exact strategy against one of the osprey's leaders and it was working just as well against her current enemy. At least, it was at first.
As Evelyn charged up her strongest attack, the pitch-black wyvern opened its mouth and began spraying a wide beam of destruction all around itself in a desperate attempt to stop what was happening to it.
And though it could not destroy gravity itself, it was able to blow away the hidden runes that Evelyn had left in the air.
Shock and horror in her eyes Evelyn watched as the web of gravity traps she had painstakingly set up were disintegrated.
Unable to finish charging up her attack to full power Evelyn decided to prematurely launch the giant sphere of fire and wind she had been conjuring.
It was currently at only about half of its full power, but she would have to discard all of her efforts if the wyvern began attacking her since taking even one of its attacks would cause a grievous wound.
In response the wyvern turned its breath attack towards, Evelyn sphere of wind and fire and attempted to destroy the attack.
Nevertheless, despite Evelyn not having been able to fully charge up her attack, it still overpowered the wyvern's breath and engulfed the incredibly powerful beast.
Them mont it did Evelyn pulled out two bottles of pills and took one of each.
One of the pills was to restore her magical energy and the other her stamina.
During this fight she had been burning through her energy reserves faster than she had in a long ti and was starting to feel faint and needed a mont to recover.
'I knew that would not be enough.'
Once the power behind her attack had dissipated the wyvern appeared out of the smoke and let out a thunderous roar.
The powerful beast was far from dead, its strong scales and thick skin having protected it from being incinerated by Evelyn's attack.
However, it had not gotten unscathed.
While it was difficult to tell at a glance since its body was naturally black, it now had several areas where it was badly burned, and a slight bit of smoke was still coming off of its skin.
'If this was just the two of us, I could probably win in a war of attrition, but the others are still fighting and Verrader is severely injured. I can hear the sounds of fighting still going on, but I do not dare let my attention slip to check how they are doing.' Evelyn thought, her mind racing for what to do next.
She thought about trying to deploy more poisons, but that likely would not work at this point since the wyverns had already seen her use that trick.
Except as she was preparing to charge back into battle after staring down the wyvern's leader for a few seconds, the deadly beast let out another roar.
Unlike the others that had been ant to intimate, this ti Evelyn did not feel the sa ferocity.
It was but a mont alter that the pitch-black wyvern began to retreat and the other surviving mbers of its group began following.
After having suffered several losses and finding that their prey could put up an incredible fight, the lead wyvern had decided to retreat. It could tell that that continuing to fight would only cause him to lose more subordinates or even his own life.
Of course, as they retreated the wyverns kept a close eye on Evelyn and her group to make sure they did not try to retaliate.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Evelyn was grateful that the battle was finally over. Even if it could not be considered a victory.
'I am reminded once again just how dangerous this world is. All it takes is one unfortunate encounter with power enemies to end up dead.' Evelyn thought as the wyverns beca little dots in the distance.
Once she was certain that they were not coming back she looked up towards her siblings and friends to make sure that all of them were there.
Thankfully, not a single one of her companions had lost their lives, though they certainly looked a bit beat up. Especially Verrader, who was being carried on Bylur's back so that he did not plut to the ground.
