Kyle didn't see what happened to the birds as he simply ran past them as soon as he released the Wave of Conviction. He was already nearly at the bottom of the King's castle.
The demons were beginning to get endless, and Kyle used the latest Lighting spell that was available to him to slay every demon he was near without slowing down.
He could hear the sounds of both sword clashes as well as qi sparks from the large hole that was inside the black castle.
He couldn't sense anything as it seemed that some type of array that blocked his senses off until he entered the castle was in place.
Right now, the last kilometre that Kyle needed to cover was in front of him, but as he dropped from the roof of the last house on to the square that surrounded the castle, another thing dropped from the house to the right of him.
A huge bull-like creature that was standing on his 2 was next to him, looking at him with what seemed to be a smile.
