We quickly left the restaurant and as soon as we stepped outside, we heard screams coming from the street. At the same time, a panicked crowd was running quickly on the street. Because behind them, a giant eagle was descending from the sky, swooping down! Bai Yueguang rushed forward in a single step and used his broadsword to block the giant eagle's claws that were about to grab the fleeing citizens. The giant eagle screeched and then flapped its wings to fly towards the sky.
"Sandstorm Gale Eagle!" I said after looking at the name and description of that monster.
"Isn't this a monster that only appears in the Dusk Desert, even further north than the Fractured Mountain Range? How did it come here?"
"It seems that these monsters that appear out of nowhere are not appearing on their own. It seems that someone intentionally brought them here."
Bai Yueguang gracefully swung his broadsword and then sheathed it.
"What should we do? Should we take them down one by one or fight separately?"
"There's no difference, right? All three monsters are flying creatures and their range of movement covers almost the entire city. Whether we fight them separately or together doesn't make a difference."
I looked at the three flying monsters in the sky and then turned to Aliyah and Sameh.
"You two go back to your mercenary units and command from there. We'll figure something out here."
"But..."
Sameh was about to say something, but Aliyah nodded.
"No problem, you guys be careful."
After saying that, she grabbed Sameh and ran off in a direction without any hesitation.
"Master, I can fly up..."
"But except for Pure White, none of us can fly. No, while I can fly, if I do, my identity will be exposed. Let's keep a low profile."
"It's okay, I use a bow and arrow, as long as they don't fly too high, I can handle it."
Hei Luoli said confidently.
I nodded and then looked at Bai Yueguang.
"Good, Bai Yueguang, find a high point with Hei Luoli. You're in charge of defense, and Hei Luoli is in charge of long-range attacks."
"What about you guys?"
"We can only use some special methods. Using the ice totem to move is basically my unique technique as Fir. It's too dangerous to use it now, so I'll have to come up with some simpler and effective methods."
While speaking, I took out another spellbook from my ring.
"Oyado, when we were on the airship earlier... Did you feel dizzy?"
"No, not at all. I didn't feel anything."
"That's good, now let's go, Ultimate Storm!"
A violent gust of wind swept out from under our feet. In an instant, Oyado and I were directly lifted into the sky by the storm!
"Big brother, you came up with another strange way of moving."
"Well... I call it innovation."
After rotating in the air for several circles, I stabilized my direction, but the power of the storm weakened. With the remaining force, I could still adjust my direction in the air.
"Master! Only you would dare to do such a thing. Other mages wouldn't dare to use attack magic on themselves!"
Pure White, who was floating in mid-air, commented aside. But she didn't fly up because I lifted her, she flew up by using her own mana.
Shikigami is really great... Even I have to rely on wings to fly. When can I fly with spiritual power?
"Well, okay, control the direction a little, and we're on!"
"Understood!"
I spotted a monster approaching us, and with a flick of the wind, Oyado and I accelerated towards it!
Just as we were getting close, I saw its name: Yagor, the Flying Dragon. It's a type of Yalong, a winged dragon with dragon blood but a different race from pure dragons.
It is similar to the wyverns in our world, but its skin is black and it has three horns on its head. Moreover, this guy can use some wind magic and has strong resistance to it.
The monster saw the three of us coming at it quickly and abruptly stopped in mid-air, then quickly flew upwards!
"Oyado, Pure White and I will find a way to prevent it from climbing, and you try to catch it."
"Okay!"
"Ice Fall!"
A huge block of ice instantly gathered above the Flying Dragon's head and quickly fell from the sky!
Seeing the ice block on its head, the Flying Dragon let out a scream and flapped its huge wings, trying to fly past the ice block!
"Greedy Wolf · Purple Bramble Storm!"
As Pure White's voice fell, a purple light shot out from the Bagua formation behind the ice block, directly hitting the Flying Dragon's head.
A deafening scream came from the Dragon's mouth, and its body that wanted to climb stopped in mid-air.
At the same time, a black shadow flew out and hit its leg directly. Then I felt someone hugging me from behind my waist, and I felt myself being pulled over!
"Huh? Oyado?"
I was actually held around the waist by Oyado, who was less than half my height. This feeling is really awkward.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the position of the Flying Dragon's leg. I quickly drew out the Death Dagger and stabbed its leg, then climbed onto the Dragon's back.
Then, Oyado also climbed up from the side, her left hand mysteriously equipped with a black claw, tightly gripping the Flying Dragon's body.
The suffering wyvern began to toss up and down, seemingly trying to throw us off, but Oyado's claws didn't seem to be some average goods. The five claws firmly grasped its skin, seemingly either tearing off its skin or unable to let go.
As for me, I just froze myself on its body since I wouldn't be hurt anyway.
This is really troublesome. I'll try to open a hole in it and stuff a bomb in.
With that in mind, I aimed at its waist and stabbed out with the sleeve sword in my hand!
But unexpectedly, that incredibly sharp sleeve sword only pierced less than three inches deep.
What's going on? This guy's defense is ridiculously high, isn't it? I remember it instantly piercing through three-centimeter steel plates earlier!
Monster update:
Yagor, the Flying Dragon, low attack power, extremely high defense, uses mid-level monster magic.
Monster special skill: Song of Wind's Cradle, shakes surrounding enemies, causing a 30-second tear status.
Huh!? No probability of activating the skill?
Normally, status skills would mention the percentage of probability to activate the effect, but this one didn't. That means it's a guaranteed activation.
I immediately gave up on attacking and quickly released the ice that connected the flying dragon to me. Then, I grabbed Oyado around the waist and leaped out!
"Brother, what are you doing..."
Oyado, who had been continuously stabbing the flying dragon with her dagger, was startled by my sudden movement. However, at that moment, a green halo shimmered out from the flying dragon. I quickly turned around and positioned myself between Oyado and the flying dragon, summoning an ice shield behind me!
But it seemed that the green halo ignored my ice shield and passed right through it, flashing across my body.
My HP dropped sharply by one third, and at the same time, a debuff icon appeared next to my name, indicating that my HP was decreasing by 30 points per second!
Damn it!
"Brother! Are you alright?"
But it seemed that the attack only affected the first target it hit. No harm was done to Oyado by the previous attack.
"I'm fine... Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm okay."
Oyado shook her head.
"Please, Brother, don't do this next time. I can't bear to see you getting hurt while protecting me."
"What are you talking about? It's the duty of an older brother to protect his little sister."
"Master, I will heal you now!"
Pure White immediately flew to my side, and three pieces of talisman paper started spinning around my body.
The debuff status on me was instantly lifted, but my HP was recovering slowly.
"Don't worry, I can at least use light magic."
I extended my hand, and a platform made of ice appeared beneath my feet. At the same time, I cast a windstorm below it, allowing the platform to float in the air.
I'm truly a genius! This is a practical combination of wind and ice magic. It will definitely be recorded in history!
Then, I cast a healing spell on myself, and my HP instantly maxed out.
But now, I could only use one bottle of magic potion because the previous magic had nearly depleted my mana.
At the same time, a new notification popped up.
Successful combination magic: Combination · Storm Skateboard acquired
Title obtained: Creativity of Magic Power
5% chance of receiving a notification when encountering combinable magic in the future
This title... well, it doesn't matter. It's just a title.
Meanwhile, the ice platform beneath my feet transformed into a perfect circular shape, looking very smooth. I placed Oyado on the platform and waved my hand. The entire platform, following my command, flew towards the flying dragon!
The flying dragon was obviously enraged, screeching as it charged towards us.
Seeing green light emanating from its mouth, I quickly pointed to the side and grabbed Oyado's hand. The platform swiftly rotated 180 degrees, and a series of wind blades shot out from beneath us!
"Are you ready?"
"Yes, Brother, just throw me out!"
"That's too dangerous. Pure White, find a way to distract its attention, and we'll attack from the side."
"Okay!"
Pure White dashed out at full speed, and with a wave of her hand, sixteen white dots appeared around her. They all simultaneously shot towards the flying dragon!
"Pohun's Flashing Jade: Sixteen!"
The sixteen orbs directly hit the flying dragon's head, unexpectedly causing it to become stunned!
I accelerated again and moved in another direction, and just as I got close, I saw Oyado leaping towards the flying dragon!
Her body flipped in mid-air, and her black claws directly caught hold of the flying dragon's body and pulled her towards her.
As she approached the flying dragon, Oyado switched weapons, and the two black daggers quickly stabbed at the flying dragon.
This attack...is it not effective?
However, I suddenly noticed that as Oyado's attacks accumulated, her daggers slowly turned red. Less than three seconds later, her daggers flashed suddenly and transformed into two scarlet lights.
"Great ultimate: Cross of Judgement!"
The two red lights neatly divided the sky into four parts, and dark red blood gushed out from the crucifix wounds on the body, causing its HP to plummet drastically.
After the attack, the daggers in Oyado's hands shattered directly; it seems they couldn't withstand the energy after the attack.
And Oyado's body also fell backwards after the attack and then started to plummet.
I rushed over, caught her, and placed her on the ground. Then I accelerated towards the flying dragon and threw three clay bombs directly onto its wounds.
"Retreat!"
I grabbed the still-dazed Pure White and flew towards the ceiling below us.
What followed was a scene like a million fireworks bursting simultaneously. The original body was blown to pieces and then dropped down.
I smiled, accelerated again, and collected all the bodies into the ring.
"Eh? Brother, why did you collect the monster's bodies this time?"
"I think its skin can be used as armor, and its meat can be cooked, so I've decided to not let any bodies go to waste in the future!" "Ah, brother, you are something else."
"I call it fully utilizing resources, you know?"
I smiled and looked at the other two monsters.
"Now, it's your turn~"
