The wyvern's gaze fell on Aksai's right arm.
The poison vein glowed faintly. Aksai felt it then.
The wyvern was not angry. It was hungry.
To it, Aksai was not an enemy or a threat. He was food. An essential one. A being filled with rich poison essence. The intruder druid was a perfect nutrient to help the wyvern settle its new realm.
The wyvern lowered its head slowly. Poison dripped from its fangs, sizzling as it hit the ground. It took a step closer.
Aksai took a slow breath and steadied his stance.
Golden Aurous Qi flowed under his skin, making his muscles tense and heavy with power. His bones felt solid, like they were made of metal. This was the strength of his Aurous Body realm. It was the path he trusted the most when Spirit essence failed him.
He looked at the wyvern.
Its massive body filled the bone cage. Poison mist leaked from its scales. Its draconic aura pressed down on him like an invisible weight, making his heart beat faster than usual.
