Chapter 59: You’re so beautiful, Lilith

The Dark Bat Hawk was a formidable foe, a hero-level dark creature with the advantage of flight. As long as it stayed airborne, it was nearly invincible, making it incredibly difficult to kill. But now, with the situation unfolding, Orion saw an opportunity."Chieftain, Elders, leave this to me!" Orion shouted as he activated his Ghostbone Armor, which quickly enveloped his body. He gripped his Bone War Trident tightly and leaped from the stone wall, sprinting toward the battle between the Dark Bat Hawk and the Twilight Viper.

Orion knew that despite the Twilight Viper's berserk state, it was still no match for the Dark Bat Hawk. The creature's talons were already descending toward the Viper.

*Zzzzz! Zzzzz! Zzzzz!*

Seeing the imminent danger, Orion hurled three spears in quick succession. One aimed for the Dark Bat Hawk's head, another for its wing, and the last for its heart.

*Thud! Thud!*

Two of the spears found their mark—one pierced the wing, and the other struck the creature's chest. The third, aimed at its head, was narrowly dodged.

Orion felt a surge of relief. The Dark Bat Hawk's body was covered in feathers, not scales, which meant his spears could penetrate its defenses. If it had been armored like some other dark creatures, his attacks might have been useless.

But there was no time to celebrate. The Dark Bat Hawk and the Twilight Viper had already engaged in close combat. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The Dark Bat Hawk's trajectory had been altered by Orion's spears, causing its talons to miss the Twilight Viper's head. The Viper, seizing the opportunity, spat a stream of venom, but the Dark Bat Hawk blocked it with its wing. In retaliation, the Viper coiled its massive body around the Dark Bat Hawk, attempting to crush it.

The Dark Bat Hawk, however, was no slouch in close combat. Its talons were sharp like an eagle's, and the short claws on its wings acted like hooks, tearing into the Twilight Viper's scales. Its beak, filled with razor-sharp teeth, bit down on the Viper, leaving it bloodied and wounded.

But the Twilight Viper was relentless. Ignoring the pain, it tightened its coils, determined to crush the life out of the Dark Bat Hawk.

By this time, Orion had reached the battle and circled around to the Dark Bat Hawk's rear.

"Die!" Orion roared as he leaped onto the creature's back.

*Thud!*

Orion drove his trident deep into the base of the Dark Bat Hawk's neck, creating a gaping wound. The creature screeched in agony, sensing the danger.

In desperation, the Dark Bat Hawk released its grip on the Twilight Viper and twisted its head around, trying to bite Orion.

But Orion had anticipated this. He quickly let go of his trident and leaped away, narrowly avoiding the creature's snapping jaws.

The Twilight Viper, sensing an opening, swung its massive head in a wide arc, slamming into the Dark Bat Hawk's skull. The impact dazed the creature, and the Viper wasted no time, sinking its fangs into the Dark Bat Hawk's neck.

Orion saw his chance. He jumped back onto the creature's back, retrieved his trident, and continued his assault, stabbing the Dark Bat Hawk repeatedly.

The battle had reached a critical point. The Dark Bat Hawk, now severely wounded, could feel its life slipping away. To make matters worse, a large group of bloodline warriors had emerged from behind the stone walls, led by Chieftain Clymene and Elder Rendall.

The Dark Bat Hawk knew that if it didn't escape now, it would be surrounded and killed.

With a final, desperate effort, the creature spread its wings, using its talons to tear away part of the Twilight Viper's body, freeing itself.

The Twilight Viper, now in excruciating pain, became even more frenzied. Despite losing part of its body, it continued to coil around the Dark Bat Hawk, trying to strangle it.

*Bzzzzzz...*

The Dark Bat Hawk unleashed another ultrasonic wave, forcing the approaching bloodline warriors to retreat.

Taking advantage of the moment, the Dark Bat Hawk flapped its wings and began to ascend into the sky, though its movements were shaky and unsteady.

But as it rose, both Orion and the Twilight Viper were still clinging to it, being carried higher and higher into the air.

"Orion!"

"Orion!"

The bloodline warriors below shouted in alarm, their voices filled with dread. They could only watch helplessly as Orion and the Twilight Viper were lifted into the sky.

Orion, too, realized the danger. He gripped his trident tightly, knowing that if the Dark Bat Hawk flew too high, there would be no way to survive the fall.

But Orion wasn't one to give up easily. He planted his feet firmly on the creature's back and began stomping with all his might, hoping to crush the Dark Bat Hawk's spine before it could gain too much altitude.

For anyone else, this plan would have been impossible. But Orion's strength was monstrous, especially with Titan's Rage and Titan's Heart amplifying his power.

Orion stomped with all his might.

The Twilight Viper, despite its injuries, continued to squeeze the Dark Bat Hawk, trying to choke the life out of it.

The Dark Bat Hawk, desperate to survive, flapped its wings harder, trying to escape.

But as it reached a certain height, its strength began to fail. The damage it had sustained was too great.

Slowly, the Dark Bat Hawk's ascent turned into a descent.

And then, it began to fall.

The creature was dead. Orion knew it.

But now, he and the Twilight Viper were plummeting toward the ground, and death seemed inevitable.

*Whoosh!*

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the air, catching Orion just before he hit the ground. The impact was still rough, and they tumbled through the air before coming to a stop.

In midair, Orion looked up to see Lilith, her wings spread wide, holding him tightly. At the moment Lilith took flight, Orion canceled the effect of Titan's Rage; otherwise, his size would have been too large for Lilith to catch him.

"Lilith!" Orion gasped, a wave of relief washing over him.

"My love, are you alright?" Lilith asked, her voice filled with concern.

"I'm fine," Orion replied, his heart still racing from the near-death experience. He pulled Lilith into a tight embrace, feeling her warmth and heartbeat against his chest.

For a moment, Orion allowed himself to relax, grateful to be alive.

"You're so beautiful, Lilith," Orion whispered, his voice filled with gratitude.

*Boom! Boom!*

The sound of two heavy bodies hitting the ground interrupted the moment. Both the Dark Bat Hawk and the Twilight Viper had crashed to the earth, sending snow flying in all directions.

"Let's go check on the Twilight Viper. See if it's still alive!" Orion said urgently, already calling out to Lysinthia, who would know the Viper's condition best.

As Orion and Lilith approached the crash site, they saw the Twilight Viper's body, now missing a third of its length. The fall had nearly shattered its entire frame.

If not for the Viper's instinct to protect its head and heart, it would have died alongside the Dark Bat Hawk.

The Viper's eyes were half-closed, its breathing shallow.

"Lysinthia! Where are you?" Orion shouted, his voice filled with urgency.

Before Lysinthia could respond, Clymene and Rendall arrived at Orion's side.

"Brother, are you alright?" Clymene asked, her face filled with concern.

"Orion, how are you?" Rendall added.

"I'm fine," Orion replied, shaking his head. "Lilith caught me just in time."

Clymene and Rendall both sighed in relief, but their attention quickly turned to the Twilight Viper, whose fate now hung in the balance.
