Having gained experience from her previous encounters, this time, Odilia was much more adept. When the ship tilted, she clung firmly to it, then seized the opportunity and jumped onto the "land" that had emerged from the sea.
However, for some reason, perhaps because this experience was different from the last, Odilia didn't see the yellow-armored girl who had fallen with her before.
The land tilted again, but Odilia, now prepared, quickly grabbed the ground—well, it was now a wall.
"The wyvern is above..."
Odilia began to climb upwards. Suddenly, something happened, and the entire wall violently shook. Odilia looked up and saw a giant fireball falling from the top, hurtling directly towards her.
"Whoa—!" Odilia was startled and quickly moved to the left. However, the fireball was less than five meters away from her, and she could even feel its scorching heat.
If she was hit, she would likely be melted instantly!
In a moment of crisis, Odilia released her right hand, and with a powerful kick from her right foot, she flipped quickly and rushed towards the left.
The fireball almost brushed past her body as it plummeted to the ground, causing a considerable explosion.
"I'm so scared, so scared—thank goodness I'm quick-witted, truly the Daughter of Light and Darkness! Hmm, but..." At this point, Odilia paused, then slowly spoke, "In this state, how do I climb up?"
It turned out that because of her previous dodge, Odilia was now in a precarious position. When she was climbing, she was facing the wall, but due to her earlier movements, she was now facing away from the wall, pressed flat against it!
For Odilia, who had never climbed before, she really didn't know what to do. Especially since the damn wall was still shaking!
"Could it be... I'm facing a great crisis again? Waaah—I don't want to fall to my death!"
At this moment of danger, the system sent a prompt.
【Your Climbing Skill has increased, you have acquired the Climbing Novice Skill!】
【Climbing Novice: Climbing on extremely dangerous walls and dodging fatal crises while climbing, this has given you some insight into climbing. You are less likely to fall while climbing, and your climbing speed is increased by 20%!】
Perhaps it was an illusion brought on by the system prompt, but Odilia suddenly felt like she could turn around!
Odilia successfully turned around. Her climbing speed was even faster. She clearly felt a kind of suction in her hands during the climb. Even if she wasn't gripping the wall firmly, she wouldn't easily fall. At the same time, her body felt lighter, making it easier for her to climb upwards!
"So this is the effect of the Climbing Skill... This is just Climbing Novice, if it were Climbing Expert..."
After a while, Odilia finally reached the top and quickly found the wyvern circling in the air. She rushed over and aimed her crossbow at the wyvern.
A crosshair appeared in her vision. When Odilia aimed at the wyvern's foot, the crosshair instantly shrunk, and the white crosshair turned red.
"Now!"
The crossbow fired a hook rope, accurately hitting the wyvern's foot. The wyvern cried out in pain, seeming somewhat panicked, and immediately flew away from the ancient dragon. Naturally, Odilia was also lifted into the air.
The whistling wind, the unique perspective of looking down at everything from the air, this was Odilia's first time flying, and she was incredibly excited.
"This is... the feeling of flight? It's amazing! Just the feeling of flying makes me think the deaths before are nothing… Waaah—that's really a… dragon? It's so huge?"
In the air, Odilia finally saw the full picture of the Molten Mountain Dragon. It was a dragon with an enormous head and a total length exceeding 200 meters. It carried a massive volcano on its back, with lava erupting from the crater from time to time. As it took each step, it created towering waves in the sea. Such a shocking scene left Odilia speechless.
"This is... an ancient dragon... the Molten Mountain Dragon... Could it be that in the game after this, I'm going to hunt such a massive monster? But how do you fight a dragon this big... It seems like a small team wouldn't be able to defeat it!"
Odilia thought that such a huge ancient dragon was beyond the capability of humans to fight. If they wanted to deal with it...
"The only way is to deploy the army, with tanks and bombers, right? But in this game..."
Judging from the current situation in the game, the world's development level is at a medieval stage, so there couldn't be tanks or anything like that. It's hard to imagine how the humans of this world would fight such a behemoth!
"But, but... if you can really hunt such a monster, that would be an epic battle!"
Although she couldn't imagine how to fight the Molten Mountain Dragon, Odilia was already excited.
At this moment, the wyvern was flying towards the mainland.
