Chapter 595 Defeating Some Wild Birds On The Way



-----

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

I kept shooting bullets. The sensation of finally having a gun in my hands felt good. Amongst my favorite weapons, guns were at the top, I overused them a lot in my younger years in my past life. Although their power became lesser as the years went by, and it became more convenient to use stronger, legendary weapons I found along the way.

Nonetheless, I always had a gun if I ever needed to shoot the head of a bastard that deserved it. Or To shoot down flying foes, which are always a pro now that I have it. I suddenly realized a second flock of Falcon Birds showed up, so I kept shooting them down. My spirits did the rest of the job and lured the two D+ Rank Bosses leading both flocks down as well.

Meanwhile, I saw the rest of the class fighting and slaying the Falcon birds. Some were already wounded and bleeding, but nothing too serious. The benefit that they were rich is that everyone had medical kits with potions and other healing items, their cooperation was quite good, and once they figured out the weakness of the bid's legs, they quickly began slaying them all really fast.

"CRAAAAAHHH!!!"

"CRYAAAAAHHH!!"

Meanwhile, as I left Eric, Erdrich, and Alberta to take care of the class, I jumped into action while riding my Fenrir, as I landed into the area where my spirits lured the two D+ Rank Thunderstorm Falcons. Who had been already weakened, yet their auras of lightning and wind were still very strong.

FLAAASH!

One of them noticed me, immediately flapping its atrophied wings and generating a spiraling wind attack charged with lightning.

CLAAAAASH!

The attack was very strong, and incredibly fast, but by rotating my spear, Gluttony, at a super-fast speed using one of my hands, I was able to easily reflect the attack. Demonic Energy was capable of negating Magic Spells partially after all.

FLAAASH!

"CRAAH?!"

I leaped towards the Falcon in mere seconds. The thunderstorm species was three-meters-tall unlike the smaller ones and was quite the intimidating foe to fight even when made flightless. Nonetheless, it was still a stupid bid gifted with strong magic.

Unlike an Orc Shaman King capable of summoning elemental magic of many forms, it was just an oversized chicken. Using [Abyssal Vampiric Claws] I slashed the bird's talons and then when it fell into the ground, as it desperately attempted to unleash lightning and winds to throw me off, I pointed my gun into its head.

BANG!

Its body stopped moving the moment a bullet made a hole through its skull. Guns were surely convenient to quickly kill foes that were already subdued. I quickly recharged my gun again and began firing some bullets at the legs of the other bird, which was fighting against my spirits and Ruby together.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

"CRAAAAHHH…!"

The gigantic bird had used most of its MP already, and because it was using so many spells was mostly the reason behind why my spirits were unable to defeat it right away. Once it fell into the ground, I caught it and quickly decided to end its misery.

"CRYYAAAH!"

CRAAASH!

However, the resilient bird attempted to unleash a lightning shock against me, but I easily threw it away by swinging my hands by covering them on Dragon Scales, capable of bouncing back a certain percentage of magic damage, and then shot it in the head.

"Stop struggling and die already, you're merely our aperitives for today."

BANG!

With both of those big chickens gone, I glanced back at our party. Surprisingly, they were actually all done. Eric was healing everyone that was too wounded, using his potions and magic to mend even broken bones. But they all had done it.

"Excellent job Master!" Eleanora said.

"It was a wonderful aperitive indeed." Hendrick laughed.

"You guys give me too much credit, you weakened them all for us. I'm grateful for that." I said with a smile.

"Papa! Can I raise em into Undead?" Asked Saphira, excited to raise some new Undead friends.

She couldn't turn them undead forever like the Necromancer though, and once the time ran out, they would go back to corpses. However, they were valuable meat and materials, so it was better not to.

"Sorry Saphira, maybe next time." I said, giving her a head pat.

"Muhhh…" Saphira sighed.

"Here." I took out a chocolate bar from my Inventory to reward the girl. "Good job nonetheless."

"Aahh! White chocolate with cookies!" Saphira's mood immediately improved.

"W-What about my reward master?!" Hendrick asked.

"Yeah!" Eleanora said.

"Eh? You two are grownups." I sighed. "I'll give you some gifts later on, when all of this is over. For now let's concentrate on the mission."

"Alright!" Hendrick got excited.

"I hope its not just a weapon or a piece of armor though…" Eleanora sighed.

"A-Ah… Of course not!" I said.

Well, I'll have to find her something else then…

I went back to the party as I looked at my gains.

Ding!

[You and your Party have defeated [Giant Thunderstorm Falcon (D+ Rank)] x2!]

[You and your Party have defeated [Giant Windstorm Falcon (D- Rank)] x26!]

[You earned 720000 EXP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[Your Level has increased from Level 34 to Level 35!]

[All your stats have increased!]

[You earned bonus skill points and stat points!]

[You earned bonus skill proficiency!]

A single level out of all of that? Well it was quite relieving I got a level to begin with. More importantly, I decided to store the corpses of all the birds for now inside of my inventory, quickly gathering with the leaders once more.

"It's finally over… But it was harder than we thought." Clarice sighed. "Can't we take a small break?"

"It was really hard…" Alianna sighed. "But I think we all leveled up plenty."

"Hmph." I sighed, facepalming. "Are you serious? You want a break after killing some weakened chickens? Agh, fine, but only thirty minutes! No more."
