Kapitel 24: Only With strength can I survive (1)

In the beautiful blue sky of the Earth, a vast expanse stretched out as far as the eye could see.

The atmosphere was adorned with a tapestry of fluffy, white clouds that danced and drifted lazily across the azure canvas.

The sun, radiant and golden, illuminated the sky with its warm embrace, casting gentle rays of light upon the world below.

As the tranquil scene unfolded, a sudden disturbance shattered the serenity.

Screeeee~~

From behind the billowing clouds emerged a majestic beast, defying the boundaries of imagination.

Its massive wings spanned wide, glinting in the sunlight as if adorned with shards of metallic luster; the feathers on its head were a secluded black, like a black crown. Its huge talons were also golden.

With graceful yet powerful movements, the creature gracefully maneuvered through the cloud-filled expanse.

It soared effortlessly, riding the currents of air, its silhouette casting an awe-inspiring shadow upon the Earth.

The beat of its wings resonated like distant thunder, a testament to the strength contained within this beast.

The flying creature was heading towards a specific city. This city had a wall that defended it against attacks from these creatures.

Ting Ting Ting~~!!!

Alert!! Alert!!

Inside a military base close to the city, the sound of an alarm started ringing.

"Attack alert, I repeat, attack alert!"

"A beast attack!?"

"Commander, based on the radar signals, it appears to be a black-crowned golden eagle, sir!" reported a soldier.

"Oh no! Prepare the cannons!" The commander yelled, urging his troops to get ready for an attack.

"Yes Commander!"

The large cannons located near the city began to move, targeting the flying creature.

~Clanngg~~

"All cannons are aimed at the beast commander!!"

"Fire!" The commander ordered.

|Boom Boom|

All the cannons fired at the beast.

The beast didn't move out of the way, and the attack hit its body.

A loud scream came out of its mouth.

"Screeee!!!"

The black-crowned golden eagle remained unhurt by the attack.

However, it became furious and swiftly turned in the air.

In its anger, it flung some of its shiny feathers toward the cannon.

|Boom Boom|

The cannons were immediately destroyed.

"C-Commander! All cannons have been eliminated; the beast is heading to the city!" A soldier shouted.

"Commander, should we call for a Star Warrior?"

"Yes, we have no other option." The commander swiftly ordered; now only the Star Warriors could handle the black-crowned golden eagle.

******

At this time, it is around a thousand meters above the Lower District of Yang Zhou City.

When the alarms started blaring, the citizens of Yang Zhou City Lower District looked up in fear as the massive black-crowned golden eagle swooped down from the sky.

A large, black-crowned golden eagle was flying past the city. Its body was around twenty meters long, like a huge fighter jet; the feathers of its body had a cold, metallic luster; and the feathers on its head were a secluded black, like a black crown. Its huge talons were also golden.

A pair of sharp, blue, glowing eyes looked down upon the human city, hiding a sliver of killing intent.

|BOOM!|

The black-crowned golden eagle, who was already flying superfast, suddenly increased its speed exponentially, breaking through the sound barrier within a moment and reaching an appalling speed.

At the same time, an extremely high-pitched sound erupted from within the mouth of the eagle. The frightening shockwave, which could be seen with the naked eye, spread rapidly downward.

Suddenly--

[AHN]

An ear-piercing howl suddenly arose, but this was not quite like thunder.

Thunder's sound is great and deafening. But this sound was ear-piercing. Luke felt a slight pain in his eardrums, with some wrinkles of discomfort arising on his forehead. Many people on the street were already covering their ears.

"That's the cry of a bird." Luke said as he looked up at the sky.

Luke was surprised.

Under the shock of the ear-piercing howl, a huge piece of glass in a skyscraper on the neighboring street let out a deep [KA~~~ KA~~~] sound.

Lots of glass cracked open, and dozens of glasses fell from the high sky. Some smashed against the pedestrian path, hit people, or even smashed against the lights on the street.

[PAI!] [PENG!] [PIPA (crackling noises)!] .....

There were bursting noises for a while.

And one of the glasses fell against a streetlight that was right next to me.

And one of the glasses shattered against the ground, and a piece was flying straight towards Luke like a knife.

"Hm?" Luke saw it out of the corner of his eye.

However, he didn't dodge.

He just stood there calmly. In an instant, his right hand, like lightning, caught the piece of glass that was flying towards him.

The piece of glass reflected his look. He tapped it twice and then randomly threw it. Like a hidden weapon, the piece of glass flew straight towards a faraway trash can and accurately went inside the opening.

'Wow, just being a Warrior apprentice, I can do this,' he thought with surprise in his eyes.

On the street, the cars that were affected at first quickly went back to normal. And the people on the street were having a discussion. Some unfortunate ones were injured, but most of them had no injuries at all.

"What a terrifying strength." Luke looked toward the sky.

So much power in just one howl. It must've been a powerful beast.

It was the first time for Luke to see a beast with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a mix of fear and awe.

Would he have to fight beasts like this one in the future? Luke wondered. He couldn't help but feel a sense of unease at the thought.

If he wanted to grow faster, Luke would have to kill as many beasts as he encountered, but the thought of facing a creature as mighty as the one he just witnessed sent shivers down his spine.

It was not like the novels he read when the MC just went and fought beasts as if they were familiar with the process.

Even the previous Luke didn't come close to encountering a beast yet.
