Chapter 11: Getting Revenge
Seeing the massive frame of the attacking party, the leader of the Soaring Steel Eagle's advance group couldn't help but tremble in terror, the sheer amount of mana circulating around the figure alone making it exceptionally wary of what it could possibly do to them, not to mention the fact that the creature flying in front of them is a being of myth, a bona fide living True Dragon looking straight towards them, clear hostility shining in its eyes.
Once the figure of the offending party is revealed, the other Soaring Steel Eagle also starts hesitating on their advances, the previously proudly flapping wings now double guessing whether their leader is going to keep moving forwards, some of them even prepared to dash out of the formation they are in the moment they notice a movement from the huge dragon just carelessly flapping its massive wings right in front of them.
After a short pause, the leader of the advance group of the Soaring Steel Eagle starts letting out shrill noise as if it's starting to talk, staring nervously at the young wood dragon in front of it, its eyes refusing to look directly at the behemoth of a creature.
Looking at the group of birds blocking its way, the young wood dragon, Yggdrasil, merely shoves them with another roar coming out from deep within its very being, the terrifying sound coming out of its mouth causing the entire Soaring Steel Eagle population to froze stiff in their spot for a few moments, causing all of them to slightly lose their bearing in the air as even their wings froze in terror, some of them even completely falling into the rocky ground.
Seeing how the young dragon treated its 'sincerity' the leader of the Soaring Steel Eagle's advance group starts letting out a high-pitched scream once again, this time its face showing seriousness as its sharp eyes locks onto the neck of the enemy, its wings flapping powerfully as it tore through the air, completely confident that it can tear through the young dragon's defenses given the difference in their cultivation.
As the leader of the advance group continues his attack, the other members of the Soaring Steel Eagle group merely just shrieked in mid-air, seemingly cheering on their leader to teach the young dragon a lesson worthy of how it acts towards them.
With eyes of a killer ready to destroy its prey, along with the excitement from the fact that it might just be able to eat a dragon for today, dead or alive, the leader of the eagle's advance group lets out a horrific, bloodlust filled shriek once again as it comes closer and closer into the young wood dragon's body, its confidence rising at an all-time high.
"Ygg, don't play around too much, remember, we're not here to do that" reminding the seemingly aloof and uncaring wood dragon, a figure appears above its head, prompting the dragon to nod at his word, and causing the Soaring Steel Eagle to get even more confused of the situation they are currently in.
Letting out a majestic roar once again, the young wood dragon infuses its mana to its voice, completely instilling terror into the Soaring Steel Eagles' mind, their wings refusing to move as all of them starts falling down the ground, the advance group's leader already at range within Yggdrasil's grasp being held by its claws, the eagle not even able to squirm around as it got firmly stuck on the young dragon's claw.
"Hm? Ygg, that's our target" scanning his eyes around while looking at the group of Soaring Steel Eagle still in the distance, the upbeat young man's eyes glow for a second as he saw a familiar figure among the flock of birds, one that is particularly wounded and hurt, yet still somehow leading this group of metallic flying creatures.
Meanwhile, one of the Soaring Steel Eagle is currently feeling a turbulent of emotion. It had just finished devouring its meal, another bird that is near the same level of cultivation as it, prompting it to eat in joy as its strength rises continuously, and then this event happen, a young dragon seemingly hell bent on using its power to annihilate the flock it leads, the only plausible reason the figure that is sitting on top of the young dragon's head.
Eagles, being creatures that has great eyesight, are able to see things eight times better than human, not to mention the fact that this is no normal eagle, but a creature that evolved by constantly improving itself. While eyesight might not be its strongest suit, it is still able to clearly see the appearance of the figure riding on top of the wood dragon, a figure that it still hadn't forgotten due to the fact that it nearly had the figure as its delicious dessert along with the bird it devoured.
Remembering the face of the young human that it saw in the forest, the one seemingly trying to do something to him previously, the Soaring Steel Eagle couldn't help but start trembling at the implication of this young man riding on top of a young dragon, as well as the fact that this young dragon is attacking its flock right now.
As it tries to find ways to resolve, or more likely escape from this situation, the wounded Soaring Steel Eagle finds it already too late as the young wood dragon already starts moving towards them once again, the member of its flock trying to block the majestic creature already plummeting down to the grounds, unable to even try and flap their wings as they got engulfed in immense terror after the dragon's roar.
"Ygg, let's annihilate them" thinking of this as nothing more than a menial task for him now, the upbeat young man said to the young wood dragon, the dragon then responding by moving even faster, both of them feeling something similar, the anticipation of meeting the new dragon about to be in their group.
As they arrive near the numerous Soaring Steel Eagle, the young Yggdrasil once again decided to let out a Draconic Roar, immobilizing all of the creatures facing them, engulfing them in fear as they start blacking out, only some of them able to recover from the shock as they attempt to fly once again, most probably a wrong idea as they are in for a more painful treat.
Finally within attack range, Yggdrasil mobilizes its limbs as the scales around its claws harden, the mana in the surrounding swirling around the claw before it slashed in the air, tearing the Soaring Steel Eagles hit by the attack into bits and pieces, prompting the other remaining eagles to scramble in fear.
Meanwhile, the upbeat young man merely focuses his gaze on a single Soaring Steel Eagle, this particular one already far away from the rest as it attempts to escape, the still fresh wounds from all around its body starting to ooze blood once again as it continues exerting itself past its body's acceptable limits.
After observing for a while, the upbeat young man starts making his move, raising his hand as wind attribute mana starts swirling around his hand, the young wood dragon seemingly taking the initiative itself as it starts moving towards the escaping Soaring Steel Eagle, the difference in speed between the two of them easily making it so that the young wood dragon catches up with the eagle in just a few moments, moments that is more than enough for the upbeat young man to finish what it is doing.
Once the wind attribute mana finally gathers enough towards a specific area, the intangible mana starts coalescing into a corporeal form, an illusory, glowing, green dragon's claw manifesting just right where the upbeat young man's arms are, the massive dragon claw making his body appear completely disproportionate, yet powerfully terrifying nevertheless.
Leaping up from the young dragon's had, the upbeat young man's figure dashes towards the Soaring Steel Eagle, swinging his draconic arms once he got into close proximity with the bird, said bird throwing its final retaliation as it sends out numerous steel feathers towards the young man.
As the steel feathers approaches him, the upbeat young man adeptly dodges all of them by controlling the wind attribute mana in the air, creating disturbance in the trajectory of the attack just enough for him to dodge, sometimes even using the wind to control his body directly.
Getting into arm's reach with the Soaring Steel Eagle, the upbeat young man swings his arms, the attack immediately piercing through the eagle's large body, said eagle letting out a last shriek of pain before it twitched one last time, its vitality already leaving its body as it stops moving, continuously falling into the ground.
As it falls, the upbeat young man is picked up by the young wood dragon, roaring at him as if it is telling its congratulations to its most respected person, the two of them merely letting the silence of the sky take in as they enjoy the peace and silence with each other.
