And then Vandalieu had remembered his battle against Sercrent and amplified his Impact-Negating Barrier at the moment of the Venom Wyvern’s attack, managing to trap its claws and tail in the barrier and creating an opening for the first time.

But before he had managed to move into an attack, it twisted its long neck to bite off the tip of its tail and its trapped paw to escape.

It was even more resolute than Sercrent had been. This wasn’t something that even a wild animal would be able to do immediately. It was only its fighting instincts as the mid-boss of a Dungeon and the knowledge that it would die instantly if one of Vandalieu’s Mana Bullets struck its torso that allowed it to do this.
