Chapter 38: Bird

Suddenly, a blue bird rushed over to where the lizard was and swooped down to pick up. As it dived down, it shot a blue-black fireball at Alex who did a wind-enhanced backflip to dodge it.

It carried the lizard and flew away. Alex's eyes glittered. That was a rank-2 cultivation falcon-beast called the 'necrofire heavenly darkfalcon'. He read about them in a legacy book called 'Fantastic Beast and their abilities' from the Azure Beastsman's collections of books.

They could unleash blue-black necrofire. It burns only the living to cinders and not the dead. Anything that has vitality or a soul is burned to nothingness.

After burning, their ashes gather and then mysteriously transform into corpses that can be controlled by the bird. It is vastly immune to necroforce energy (death-energy).

This ability makes it exceedingly powerful. But the ability it is noted for is it extreme speed. They are known to be incredibly swift.

When it awakens it complete bloodline ability, it can achieve speed a million times that of lightning.

Also, it feathers can be used as materials to forge defensive treasures or as materials, melted to increase the toughness of a treasure-weapon.

Defensive treasures using this feather as forging material can reach the rank of supreme-grade or peerless-rank defensive treasures.

Alex knows it was still young and that it hadn't awakened it frightening abilities, and it would be great if it could become his mount. He would not need a ultivehicle at that time. He was surprised what it was doing here.

He looked at the bird as it flew away speedily, leaving behind after-images. A second later, it had vanished from Alex's vision. He didn't know where the bird went to and could only wish it was his.

He resumed his search for beasts with lightning projection abilities. But he did not see any one. After many battles with other rank-2 beasts, he became worn out. He walked for many hours then he got frustrated.

He decided to finish the mission he requested for. That is, hunt down the greyback silver-furred ape since he couldn't find any lightning-power beast.

His eyes began to glow in cyan. Abruptly, a vortex of air instantly surfaced around him. Then ribbons of cyan energy flowed into his body through his pores, unceasingly.

He had turned his entire body into an energyhouse by utilizing the 'Wind Elixir' technique.

As the energy flowed into his body through his pores, his entire body began to glow brilliantly in cyan. It was like he was a small cyan sun as the light emitting from his body dyed everywhere cyan.

Then a large stream of windforce energy shot off from his feet in large amount and in a jet-fashion.

As the cyan energy endlessly discharged off his feet at high velocity, they turned into bursts of air that propelled him up at great speed. These continuous bursts carried him up like he were a rocket.

Since he could continuously recharge himself using the wind elixir technique while employing the 'Wind Rocket' technique to move up.

He reached the mountain peak after many hours. He was very slow, he couldn't achieve terrifying speed yet.

Once he got to a peak, he looked into the distance and the entire thing zoomed in.

He saw greyback silver-furred apes, dozens of them at a faraway mountain peak. The mountain they were on was very far away.

It was already night, but he didn't care. He started running towards that mountain.

After many minutes, with air-propelled, wind-enhanced massive leaps, he reached a mountain that neighbored to the mountain where the apes sheltered on. Then the glow in his eyes receded as well the bright glow emanating from his body.

This light caught the attention of the apes on the next mountain peak and they growled in madness and anger.

Who was this that was trying to trespass into their territory. With their hatred for humans, their rage shot up like it wanted to pierce the sky.

Then they rushed towards Alex in a frenzy. Being huge and greatly muscular beasts with bloodline ability for strength. They jumped towards Alex, both females and males. There were about twenty of them that jumped towards him.

To Alex, their number was pretty small. Then he guessed this was one of the peaks they settled on. There would still be others on faraway mountain peaks.

He quickly condensed a frost energy-weapon.

"Great Arctic slash! "

he shouted and slashed out towards them. An enormous snow-white ray of amplified frost-energy shot out from the blade towards the ape.

As the ray shot out, the temperature of the atmosphere drastically plummeted to sub-zero degrees.

This attack instantly transformed this area for dozens of square feet in diameter into an excessively cold zone.

It was like they were in the winter season as snow began to fall, but it was tens of times colder.

When the frosty energy ray shot piercingly through the air, it left a wide trail of frost and radiated unbearable cold temperature.

Bang!

One of the greyback silver-furred ape was hit by the beam. It was instantly cut in half with the beam traveling forward unstoppably.

It cut other apes behind it in half instantly turning them into ice. The flash-frozen halves of the apes fell to the earth below and shattered.

The other beasts were still air-borne and this was a great disadvantage to them. Seeing this as an opportunity

"Ice Hegemon mountain-splintering slash!"

He shouted and swung the frost energy-blade at them.

Once he slung the blade at them, an enormous ray of frost-energy, which radiated terrifying coldness that instantly transformed this place to a polar region, shot out from it.

This icy energy ray, going with great concussive power that can seemingly shatter hills, knocked the beasts back to the mountain peak they jumped from and were instantly enveloped by ice, turning to iced statues.

When he eliminated them, the blade dispersed, and the slivers of energy that formed it returned to the realmverse.

Screech!

Suddenly, he heard a screech in the distance and when he looked in the direction of that sound, he saw the blue falcon bird.

His eyes sparkled.

The bird!

Just as he was about to take action, like chase after it. The entire place began to tremble. The whole valley began to shake.

Then a huge pillar of light shot up into the sky from afar which then expanded to cover the entire mountainous valley.
