Chapter 1098 Battle In The Skies

-----

If it wasn't because of the powerful armor I built for him, Zack would have been definitely roasted by the power of a combined spell conjured by three Tier 8 monsters at once. But the armor wasn't enough though, as I noticed its metal slightly melting beneath the blazing explosion.

FLUOSH!

Emerald winds reacted to the attack and encompassed him. I noticed this wasn't even his own magic, but the winds of the world... were protecting him. Was this the power of the Blessing he received from Melodia, the Queen of the Wind Spirits?

"Ah, the winds are protecting me?!" Zack gasped.

"You're one lucky brat, aren't you? [Cursed Dark Chains]!" Celeste laughed. Her magic activated as she flew right below him. Chains of darkness and curses wrapped around the birds, weakening them slightly. At the same time, her spear pierced their bodies constantly. Or well, it tried to. The metallic feathers protecting the birds served as an incredible armor. If we don't slice those off, they take little damage against physical blows.

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

"Dammit, these things are too damn tough!" Celeste complained. The birds swiftly beginning to break out of the chains. But we stepped forwards. Aquarina by my side. I harnessed Void, Darkness, and Curses into my Partial Draconification, my scales turning black and purple. My hair beginning to become dark and my eyes red. Meanwhile, Aquarina fused her Partial Sea Draconification with her Abyssal Embodiment. We attacked the restrained birds at the same time.

"[Divine Dragon Blade Arts]: [Dark Void Dragon's Claws]!"

"[Abyssal Shadow Dagger Arts]: [Chaotic Vortex]!"

As I unleashed my sword attack, my powers erupted with the slashing blow. Gigantic claws composed of darkness and dangerous void energy fused with my curse's abyssal essence, overwhelming the birds with clawing attacks even though it was a single slash. At the same time, Aquarina's entire body spun around, slashing the birds constantly. The darkness encompassing her creating a vortex of chaos that drained away the Firebirds entire life and mana.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

As Luck saw that happening, the bird coughed, unable to unleash power flames. It seemed much weaker and sickly compared to its other siblings, yet it still was barely Tier 8. Luck didn't hesitate, his sharp claws growing twice as large as he pointed them at the bird's neck. The bird's instincts flared up in that moment, it gave a step back and then kicked him away with its giant talons.

CLASH!

"Not yet... I'm not giving up yet!"

Luck chased the firebird who swiftly attempted to fly up into the skies again. He kicked the empty air and gathered all his spiritual and beastly power. His Aura rampaging and roaring like a mighty white tiger. A roar so strong it paralyzed the bird on the spot.

"ROOOOAAR!"

In that moment, Luck immediately attacked its tough neck, breaking through the metallic feather armor and then, beheading it with both of his sharp, over half a meter long tiger clawed hands. A fountain of blood splattered over him from the bird's open neck, as the corpse fell over the golden sand, painting it with crimson color.

"Hahhh... I-I did it!" Luck celebrated.

Well, without my equipment it wouldn't have been as easy, not at all. However, it seemed to count as he did it because something within him was born. A new power, a new divine beast spirit. Flames flickered around his body.

His tiger form suddenly changing. He became much taller and slimmer. Instead of white and black fur, he was now covered by fiery red feathers, and a huge golden beak replaced his mouth, his face covered by the same fiery red feathers, while his eyes flashed with emerald light.

"T-This is...!"

A pair of gigantic wings sprouted out of his back, as the golden tiger changed its form, now becoming a giant, fiery bird.

"So you've completed the test, well done! You must be the new hero of beasts! Nice to meet you, youngling. I am the Second Divine Beast Spirit, the Crimson Phoenix!"
