46 Chapter 46: 13Th Floor
Our lunch was Cooked chicken and potatoes. Yeah, it wasn't amazing, but it was good. It was the tastiest potato I ever ate in my life.
"Are you guys sure you don't need anymore rest?" I asked as we walked towards the door
"Yeah, I'm sure." Said Serena
"Our provisions won't last long, We don't have time to waste so we don't have any other choice." Replied Ariel
Yeah, You're right about that.
"Alright, is everyone ready?" I asked as we reached the door
"Yeah." Said Serena
"Let's go." Said Ariel with a resolved look on her face
"Alright," I said as We walked through the door.
Again, like any other floor, there are stairs which lead downwards. We slowly walked down the stairs as we were hit by a fresh breeze.
"Wind..?" I muttered
The further we went down, the stronger it got. Once we finally reached the floor, The amount of wind pressure inside was a lot higher compared to outside. If we didn't have magic strengthening we would probably all be blown away.
The floor was just like the 12th one. A giant room. The only difference is that instead of looking like a cave, it looked like a the halls of a palace. Sort of like a clean boss room. But we could tell that it wasn't the boss room. Why? Because...
"Those giant birds flying around, you don't suppose they're friendly do you?" Asked Serena
"Haha, I'm not sure. Should we go and ask them?" I asked
As i said that, the giant birds flying around in the hall noticed us. Shortly after that they let out a shriek which resembled a signal to attack and flew straight at us. There were at least 20 of them, that's how big the hall was.
The first 10 flew straight at us, and the other 10 just watched. They were giant birds with feathers all over their bodies. They resembled a monster I knew all to well in a game I used to play.
"Argentavis..." Me and Serena muttered at the same time.
"They don't look like they want to talk..." Muttered Ariel as she began gathering air in front of
As she did that, she made a surprised expression
"The air in here... It's easier to gather and it's strong..." She muttered.
"John, you've seen an argentavis before?" Asked Serena
Why does this world have the same name as the one from the one in my previous world? Coincidence?
"I've heard about one. but it's my first time seeing one in person." I muttered to myself
"Uhh, guys, A little help?" Asked Ariel as She simultaneously fired off 3 ventuses at the birds
The first 2 ventuses missed but the third one landed a hit. It managed to cut off the birds wings, causing it to fall straight down and crash into the ground. it couldn't move after that but i wasn't sure if it was dead or not.
"That's one down..." I muttered as i cast levite and velox
"19 to go..." Muttered Serena As we All jumped back.
Thanks to the jump, we ended up avoiding being hit by 2 beaks. As the birds crashed into the ground headfirst with their beaks. They got stuck. We used that moment to attack them
"Ventus..." Muttered Serena as she also began to gather air in front of her.
Ignis won't work as well as Ventus. When it comes to damage and range, a wind blade is the best bet. I had also taught both of them how to use Fire and Air in case where one element wouldn't help.
The Ventus Serena cast hit one of the bird's wings head-on from close range causing there to be a deep cut on the wing. However, since she still wasn't as good as controlling wind compared to Ariel. She wasn't able to fully cut off the wing.
"But that's good enough." I muttered as i leapt at the birds and cast glacio on them.
The instant i activated the spell, I spread from my hands and engulfed their entire body in seconds. They tried to struggle but it was futile.
"That's three down..." I Muttered as i looked over at the 7 above us.
There were another 10 above them, but those were just observing us.
"You guys gonna come down here, or what? Or do you mind letting us through?"
As i asked that another 3 birds charged at me. Serena and Ariel who had been gathering wind, Cast Ventus at the two on the sides and managed to break their control.
However, along with the one on the middle they kept their momentum and charged at me head first with their beak.
I dodged it by jumping leaping forwards. The birds crashed straight down. The two who each had one of their wings cut off got up from the ground. They let out a screech as they charged at me, all three.
"Why are you trying so hard to kill us? I get that we're invading your territory, but don't you realise it's pointless?" I said as i dodged their beaks by jumping around
Serena and Ariel watched as i continued my talk
"I've always wanted to meet an argentavis so this leaves a bad taste in my mouth..." I muttered as i cast glacies.
I created 6 at once, and propelled two at each of them. They tried to dodge but from this range, they were only able to dodge the first one. Without being able to do anything. They were hit by the Second spike.
The ice spread through where they were hit to their wings to eventually their entire body. Eventually, they froze up.
I looked up at the remaining birds in the sky and shouted
"You guys wanna live right?! Don't get in our way!"
After I shouted at them. One of the birds that watched, let out a loud screech. It appeared to be a signal to fall back as the birds which were flying above us, went flew back up to where the others who were watching were.
