I Only Summon Villainesses

Then came a single ear-shattering, terrifying screech that bellowed out of its throat, vibrating the very air around us. I squeezed my eyes shut against the wind impact and the ringing that exploded through my skull.

The next moment, I didn’t wait for its approval... or Nisha’s.

I broke into a dead sprint, my legs carrying me forward faster than I could process.

This was fight or flight kicking in.

I had chosen flight.

Nisha was right beside me, yelling.

”We’re gonna run?!”

”Do you have a better idea?!” I yelled back.

Actually, I did have a plan. And it involved us running — for now.

The creature gave chase but moved slower than expected. Since it only had two massive hindlimbs and had to use the claws at the edges of its wings for frontal support, ground movement wasn’t its forte.

Until the bastard decided to spread its wings and flap heavily, carrying itself higher. It rose up and up, then with a powerful beat caught the wind and glided toward us, easily matching our speed.

’Of course. Why would anything be easy?’

As it came closer — legs curved, claws opened like an eagle about to snatch a live baby — I grabbed Nisha’s hand and halted sharply, using the momentum to pivot and bolt backward.

The wyvern had committed a tremendous amount of force, clearly intending to crush us into the ground with its weight and power.

However, destiny had other plans for us.

Destiny, in this case, was me.

The bastard crashed into the ground, stones flying everywhere as it tumbled over itself, rolling forward. Its wings crumpled under the weight of its own body with a sound like snapping canvas.

Nisha glanced back, surprised and impressed.

”Wow, that was actually smart of you.”

’Don’t thank me yet.’

As we ran safely away from it, white flames ignited upon the stupid creature, ready to turn it into a big, fat, live-skewered piece of meat.
