Elsa was catapulted into the sky by the soldier, and she adjusted her body well so she could maximize the throwing power of the ballista.
The soldier stood there and watch as Elsa's body was propelled up into the sky with the force from the ballista.
"she won't make it".
Says the soldier, when he saw that even with the push from the ballista, it still wasn't enough to help Elsa cover the distance between her and the Wyverns.
Elsa being the one in a dangerous situation, was not as panicked as the soldier is. She made use of the sword that was in her hand by folding her body, and placing the sword below her feet.
She steeled her feet on the sword, then used her hand to push the sword upward, pulling her along with it. Doing that, she was able to propel herself further and managed to cover the distance between her and the Wyverns.
In return for a flight momentum, Elsa was forced to let go of her sword, now having nothing else to rely upon but her bare hands.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe barely managed to cover the distance and was now on the verge of falling back to the ground. To prevent that, Elsa grabbed unto the leg of the Wyvern she was closest to.
The Wyvern noticed something had stuck itself to its leg, and it bent its head down to see what it was.
Elsa on the other hand, was quick to move herself to the back of the Wyvern leg, a place where it would find very hard to turn its head to.
She bid her time for the Wyvern to check its body, and when it saw nothing, it turned its head back to where it's other peers where looking.
Elsa when compared to the Wyvern, is very small and could go unnoticeable to others if she sticks herself to the Wyvern. She used her size to her advantage, and was able to hide from the Wyvern eyes.
When she saw that it was safe for her, Elsa came out of her hiding place. Hanging on the Wyvern body, she crawled her way up to its upper body, below the waist point.
Touching the Wyvern body, she could feel how thick its shiny scales were, and how impenetrable it will be when faced against ordinary metals.
Touching its scales, she could not brood over the sword she had lost, because even if she has it, it would have been proven useless going up against the sturdy body of the Wyvern.
Elsa continued to move around with a slow pace, and in a way that the Wyvern will not be alarmed of something crawling through its body part.
Her goal, is to find a weak spot amidst all the thick scale the Wyvern is covered by, a spot that is not as thick as the rest of its scale, and easily penetrable.
The spot she is on the search for does not necessarily have to be as soft as her skin is, just lenient enough for her to be able to use her skill on it.
"there are none!".
No matter how long she searched for, Elsa could not find any spot on the Wyvern body suitable enough for her attack to go through.
The whole spot she has searched through, were far too tough for her to even think of attacking, and she knows that she only has one chance at launching her first attack before the Wyverns get wind of her presence amidst them.
Elsa stopped trying to get the Wyvern from its back, and moved herself to the middle of its lower part, a place where it's private is located.
When she got there, Elsa manifested her Aura out of her body, and used it to coat her hands in.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis is normally a skill she would apply using her sword as the caoted object, but with no sword, she had to improvise to using the next possible thing she could think of.
The skill name is Aura manifestation, and it's a skill that can be used only amongst those with a knight job like Elsa.
It involves manifesting one's Aura that is usually in gaseous form, and bringing it out in liquid form, that will be applied to any object used by the Aura manifester.
The purpose of the skill, is meant to give the weapon a more effective advantage when it comes to cutting through stuff like its supposed to.
A trained knight who has unlocked the skill, does not have a need for carrying with them weapons. Thanks to the help of the skill, a broom in the hands of such a knight, could become a lethal weapon, same goes for any other objects.
The glory of the skill can only shine best at the hands of one who knows the advantages it possess. There are does who consider it as an ordinary job skill with hard steps to learn it.
The process of turning it from gas into liquid, is as hard as it is complicating.
Having a knight job is only the first necessary step needed to guarantee one's chance of developing the Aura manifestation skill.
The next step is one that requires extreme and thorough practice before one can have access to making use of the skill. Some with knight job, had to give up learning the skill due to the difficulty level that comes with it.
It took Elsa years before she could grasp the understanding of the skill, and when she did, her usage of it could almost be described as perfection.
She learned to not only coat the aura on her sword, but also on her body to strengthen herself with. She took it to the extreme by sharpening the aura to be as dense as it can be, for more efficiency when cutting through objects.
Elsa is still not at a level where she can confidently pierce through the tough scale of a Wyvern with the skill, but she is almost certain that she can deliver unto it, a blow that would weaken it, and possibly fall it down.
