The third day of the competition began.
Lein woke up from her sleep and had a simple breakfast the rest of dinner yesterday.
Just as Lein was about to begin his exploration, he was suddenly attacked by something.
"Damn it, sneak attack again!?" Thought Lein was upset.
Lein fended off the attack and saw who was attacking her secretly again.
"Hm? Birds?" Lein saw a bird on the branch of the Oxtara Tree.
"Analysis." Lein analyzed the bird.
[the analysis continues ]
[ Regis Bird's
level 88
skill: Fur shot
A bird monster that can make its feathers become very sharp ]
"When was the last time I fought a flying monster?" Lein touched his chin.
"Ah, that's it." Lein stepped on the ground and flew towards Regis Bird.
"Quacks!" Regis Bird shouted.
Regis Bird then flapped his left wing and many sharp feathers flew towards Lein.
"Very fast!?" Thought Lein.
"Dragon Dance: Gravity Wall." Lein made a wall of gravity in front of her.
The gravity wall managed to fend off Regis Bird's sharp feather attack. As Lein approached her, Regis Bird shouted then he flew off.
"I won't let it!" Lein chased after Regis Bird at high speed.
The battle took place in mid-air between Lein and Regis Bird. As Regis Bird flapped his wings, sharp feathers attacked Lein.
Lein deflects her with a gravity wall and occasionally deflects attacks of sharp feathers with wind magic.
Lein tightened both of her palms and coated them with mana to function like a sharp sword.
"Come on!" Lein approached Regis Bird and attacked him.
"Quacks!" Regis Bird's feathers were able to survive.
Regis Bird fended off Lein's attack with his sharp feathers easily.
"Ck." Lein clicked his tongue.
Lein then targeted Regis Bird's body that was not covered by his feathers, namely his legs, beak, and both eyes.
Lein increased his speed so that Regis Bird did not react and he targeted both feet of Regis Bird first.
Lein then easily cut off your second Regis Bird with both of her hands that were already coated by mana.
"Quack..!!!" Regis Bird shouted in pain as both of his legs were cut off.
Regis Bird then flapped both wings quickly and this time there were a lot of sharp feathers that came out and attacked Lein.
"Dragon Dance: Gravity Slash." Lein slashed towards the air with his hands.
The Gravity slash managed to make all the sharp feathers that led to Lein turn towards the right and left sides.
"Your fur lives a little bit, doesn't it?" Lein looked at Regis Bird who currently only had a little feather left.
Because Regis Bird can only make the feathers on his body sharp, not create a sharp feather.
So when he attacks with his sharp feathers, automatically the feathers on his body will reduce little by little.
"Quack..!!" Regis Bird shouted and flew away from Lein.
"Do you want to run away?" Lein opened both of her palms.
"Dragon Dance: Where's the Ball." Lein pops some balls of mana over his two palms.
"Accept this! Ahaha!" Lein throws mana balls like throwing round balls.
Lein deliberately made several missed attacks so that Regis Bird felt fear and became panicked.
...****************...
"Isn't he a psychopath?"
"Right, he's a psychopath."
"really cruel."
"Now I feel sorry for that Regis Bird."
"Let's grieve."
...****************...
After a moment of throwing mana balls, Lein finally killed Regis Bird with a single strike. Regis Bird died and he fell into the forest.
As Lein flew through the air, Isolda suddenly said something.
"Lein, wait." Isolda said via voice transmission.
"Isolda? What's up?" Lein immediately landed on one of the Oxtara Trees.
"I felt a familiar but also foreign aura.." Answer Isolda.
"Familiar yet foreign? What do you mean Isolda?" Lein's confused.
"It... It is the aura of a dragon." Reply Isolda.
"Dragon aura!?" Lein widened her eyes in surprise.
"I'm familiar because this looks like the dragon aura I've encountered. But it feels foreign because it's also different from the dragon I met." Isolda.
"Ah, you mean this aura is from a dragon with the same abilities as the dragon you have encountered?" Lein understands.
"Yes, like that!" Answer Isolda.
"Hm, how can there be dragons here. I'm curious..." Lein touched his chin.
"Make me." Lein said to Isolda.
"Good! From your current direction, go towards 10 o'clock, then go straight on." Reply Isolda.
"accepted." Nod Lein.
Lein then flew towards 10 o'clock from his position at high speed according to Isolda's direction.
After a few minutes, Isolda told Lein to stop.
"Is it here?" Lein asked Isolda.
"Near here, but his aura was blocked by something so I couldn't detect his exact location." Answer Isolda.
"Hm, all right let's find it." Lein started to take steps.
"Help me..." Mysterious sounds are heard.
"!!" Lein immediately stopped and became alert.
"Isolda, did you hear that voice?" Ask Lein.
"A sound? I didn't hear anything Lein." Replied Isolda who did not seem to hear the mysterious voice.
"Help me..." The voice sounded again.
"!! - This voice is on my mind." Thought Lein.
"Say, where are you?" Lein tried to communicate with the mysterious voice.
"Follow that blue light...." Answer the mysterious voice.
"Blue light?" Lein looked around.
Lein then noticed that there was a blue light on his right.
"Ah that." Lein walked following the blue light according to the mysterious voice's speech.
"Lein? Where are you going?" Ask Isolda.
"Can't you see this blue light?" Ask Lein.
"Blue light? No.." - No..." Answer Isolda.
"Hm, so only I can hear that mysterious voice and also only I can see this blue light huh..." Thought Lein.
"So, I just..." Lein explained to Isolda.
"Ah, maybe it's the voice of the dragon we're looking for..." Isolda.
"Looks, let's follow this blue light first..." Reply Lein nodded.
Lein continued to follow this blue light and he wondered where this blue light would lead him.
After a while passing through a place that seemed untouched by living beings, the blue light stopped on the lush leaves of the tree.
"Leaves?" Lein walked over and touched the leaves.
"!! - A cave..." Lein.
The moment Lein touched the foliage, Lein's hand could still push her further. And it turns out that these leaves cover a cave door that is the size of a human.
"Analysis." Lein did not immediately enter the cave but did the analysis first.
[the analysis continues ]
[the analysis failed ]
"Fuck?" Lein narrowed his eyes.
"Something seems to be..."
"Hm... All right, I'm gonna enter this cave."
