Chapter 565: Each Person's Methods

Within a flock of Three-Legged Golden Crows and Blue Luans duking it out in the skies above the Paragons' carcasses, a ghostly figure flew silently from one Three-Legged Golden Crow's head to the next. 

Each visit would result in only one ending for the Three-Legged Golden Crow, death. 

After landing gracefully on the head of another Three-Legged Golden Crow, Duna could be seen patting the berserk Three-Legged Golden Crow's head gently. 

However, her gentle pats were akin to the kiss of death. 

If one observed carefully, the power of the Profound Law of Death gathered into the tips of her palms before invading the Three-Legged Golden Crow's head and eroded its brain with Death Energy. 

The Three-Legged Golden Crow's crimson eyes changed to grey, then ultimately black, before it closed its eyes and lapsed into eternal sleep. 

Duna's method of killing was effortless like a Reaper of Death, harvesting lives as she pleased.

But at the same time, her method spared the berserk Three-Legged Golden Crows from a torturous and painful death.

It was graceful like an art.

By the time Leon slew his second Three-Legged Golden Crow, Duna was already done with her fifth.

It was not long before the rest of the Blue Luans realized that they had little helpers fighting the Three-Legged Golden Crows alongside them. 

However, they carried on with their own battles, silently accepting the help without a word. 

Shortly after, Duna shifted her gaze back to check on Leon's side before realizing Leon did not have any difficulties with his own battles. 

Her brows furrowed slightly before flying over with a question, "Why aren't these Three-Legged Golden Crows attacking you?"

"Unless I directly after them or fall into their direct line of sight, the Blue Luans are a bigger problem as far as the Three-Legged Golden Crows are concerned in their berserk state," Leon explained. 

"Did you know this beforehand?" Duna raised an eyebrow. 

However, Leon smiled lightly without answering. 

Sometime later, Aria arrived on her ice-lightning sword and immediately shot into battle with lightning speed!

Bzzt!

Ten ice-lightning swords were conjured in an instance before flying off to find their own targets!

However, the ice-lightning swords quickly bounced off when Aria manipulated them to penetrate the Three-Legged Golden Crows' heads.

After a quick frowned, Aria immediately changed her tactic and targeted their weakness. 

Very quickly, ice-lightning swords found their way into the eyes of the Three-Legged Golden Crows, wreaking havoc in their heads before exiting out the remaining eyes.

Caw! Caw!

The Three-Legged Golden Crows cried and squirmed painfully on the ground before their torturous deaths without surprise. 

"Why did you come?"

"Why you go, I will follow."

Leon smiled wryly. But shortly after, he noticed the hems of Aria's dress were burned, reduced to ashes.

His expression turned solemn before he warned, "Be careful of their Golden Flames. Their attention is locked onto the Blue Luans, but we shouldn't underestimate their strengths."

"Mn, I will be more careful." Aria nodded sweetly. 

Shortly after the thundercloud was brought over with its crackling lightning, Aria began to exert the true strength of an Ice-Lightning Seeking Insight-stage Transcendent.

"Don't hurt the Blue Luans. We are helping them to help ourselves." Leon spoke with a hint of nervousness, seeing the lightning dance wildly. 

If the Blue Luans were also attacked by them, they would have to prepare themselves for the Blue Luan's wrath.

Leon could not see their chances of winning in that scenario. 

"Un, I got it." Aria pouted slightly. 

With their current relationship, she could easily guess Leon's intention from just a few clues and actions made by him. There was no need to warn her. 

Even so, Leon felt that important things must be mentioned at least once.

"Bahahaha! Why didn't you also invite this old man to join you, young prince?" The Supreme Elder's voice trickled over from a distance. 

Swoosh~!

A strong gush of wind blew past as the Supreme Elder came to an abrupt stopped nearby with the strong flap of his vine wings before shooting a strengthened vine spear in hand like a javelin toss.

Caw!

A Three-Legged Golden Crow cried in the distance shortly after.

The vine speared had pierced straight into its eyes before it proliferated inside its head, wrappings its vines around the target's brain before tightening. 

Caw! Caw! 

The Three-Legged Golden Crow cried even more terribly in agony before its brains were turned to mush. Blood spurted out from its orifices before it dropped out of the sky with a heavy thud, motionless—like its life had been literally squeezed out of it. 

Soldiers stationed inside the remains of Military City could have heard the Three-Legged Golden Crow's horrific cries over the long distance. 

Few soldiers immediately paled with uneasiness like they could have imagined the insufferable agony the Three-Legged Golden Crow experienced before its gruesome death. 

"Are you really a nature-loving elf?" Leon questioned the Supreme Elder with his lips twitching. The Three-Legged Golden Crow's cry was very jarring.

"Ahem, I am an elf without a doubt, but I don't know about nature-loving." Supreme Elder Haldir coughed embarrassedly before he said, "Perhaps, my method was a little too gruesome…"

"Oh, you don't say?" Leon responded wryly before shooting back into battle, where the Three-Legged Golden Crows could be seen gathered around the Paragons.

He did not want to give the Paragon's precious blood to any of these Three-Legged Golden Crow! Such precious treasures should be saved for the people around him!

The Supreme Elder was about to join the fray when a Rank 2 Transcendent Blue Luan's towering figure appeared before him—looking down on him with a repulsive look even.

"Your methods disgust me, elf." The Blue Luan spat. 

"The Three-Legged Golden Crows might be our enemy, but they were once a proud race of birds like us! Even if they have lost their minds, this is not how they should be treated!" 

Swoosh~! 

The proud Blue Luan flapped its wings at the Supreme Elder with a domineering flair in warning before flying back off into battle.

"Don't let me see such an unsightly thing again!" Its voice trickled into the Supreme Elder's ears from a distance shortly after.

'These birds are more cocky and proud than the peacocks themselves!' The Supreme Elder frowned slightly at the Blue Luan's arrogant display.
