Fog rolled out in an area and the visibility of others became reduced. The four friends are currently flying higher than they would have as they wanted to avoid the flying attacks and spells from below. The battle between the sea monsters with the Krakens and Scylla could be heard as they ravaged the sea below.
The four friends are not safe as well because lightning could also strike them as the thunderclouds above them crackled. Adrian knew that only Peridot can withstand lightning if it does strike them which is why he summoned Kimat.
"Greater Summon: Kimat." Adrian stated as Kimat has been summoned in his chibi form.
Since Kimat cannot fly in the air or hover, he needed to be situated on top of Moksha. Adrian's thought proved to be correct as two arcs of lightning suddenly rained upon them. Peridot caught one while Kimat caught the other with both absorbing the energy towards their body.
Kimat's body crackled as his lightning gauge became full of power from just one lightning strike. His body glowed with a bright light blue light, and he almost acted as a lighthouse. Peridot channeled the lightning strike with her wind gemstone first and then absorbed it using her body. She then converted it to mana as she used a lot of mana for the two epic tier spells.
The excess energy is then transferred to her wind gemstone as it changed from a gray into a bluish white color. The next lightning strike is then funneled by Moksha as it suddenly became hungry. The Qilin easily ate the lighting and even called it a light snack. Their only problem now is the approaching bird monsters that came down from the thunder clouds.
"Thunderbirds!" Kabrakan pointed.
"Greater Summon: Kanlaon! Greater Summon: Saena!" Adrian casted as he needed to level up Kanlaon while Saena's support would be appreciated.
The thunderbirds in the sea of monsters are different from the ones straggling in the mainland. The thunderbirds in the sea on monsters are twice as large and more colorful than the ones in the mainland. They also seem to be more ferocious as their eyes that normally glowed with yellow lightning is glowing in red lightning.
"Time for revenge!" Adrian stated as he summoned his Bow Primordial Armament.
He still clearly remembers the time when a thunderbird killed him during the time that he first used the bow. He pulled the bowstring with great eagerness while using five shots of Shooting Star. Some of the thunderbirds are not able to dodge as the attack is sudden which made them crash down to the sea.
The poor thunderbirds that crashed into the sea became feeds to the hungry sea monsters below while the remaining one became enraged even more. With a flap of their wings, the thunderbirds suddenly made the rumbling thunderclouds release multiple arcs of red lightning.
The red lightning lit up the sky that even made the messy battle happening on the sea even more menacing. The Scylla and the Kraken versus the numerous sea monsters. The thunderbirds that fell became pools of blood upon being feasted upon the sea monsters. The sight is something to behold as numerous things were happening at once.
The red lightning arcs are then aimed towards the four friends, but the thunderbirds have yet to see that some of them can absorb lightning. Kimat and Moksha ate all the red lightning coming their way while Peridot absorbed it once again into her gemstone.
"Blizzard!" Peridot shouted as the atmosphere became cold and the turbulent weather started to drop in temperature.
The thunderbird's weakness is the cold which is why they tend to avoid the north or regions where there is ice. It can also be said that their mortal enemies, the frost birds, are the reason why they also hate the cold. Fire birds, thunderbirds, and frost birds have a rivalry as one competes for the title of Lord of the Skies.
The cold wing made the wings of the thunderbirds stiff which is why Adrian could launch more attacks to send them crashing down. He specifically targeted the wings of the thunderbirds so that the sea monsters below could do most of the job for them. Although, the team gets fewer experience points since they are not the ones to kill the thunderbirds.
The group is doing well as Kanalon would use his presence to threaten thunderbirds that come near them while Saena assisted with healing the group if they get hit. The thunderbirds knew that they could not kill the group with their lightning attacks which is why the resorted to physical attacks.
Some might think that the thunderbirds are dumbed but their body is actually harder than steel. Due to the continuous pulsing of lightning in their body, the thunderbirds have strong physiques that can easily block physical attacks. This is the reason why people that hunt thunderbirds often turned to magic as weapons can be easily broken if it gets in contact with their body.
A good example of this now would be Kabrakan's shield starting to lose durability as soon as he receives an attack from the thunderbirds. It seems that they have become primary targets due to their nature of not counterattacking. Fortunately, Moksha could still use its flame attacks in order to burn some of the thunderbirds.
"Focus on bring them down! We do not have enough stamina to deal with all of them." Peridot stated as she tried conjuring ice shards to cull the numbers of the thunderbirds.
Adrian already used all the skills of the Bow Primordial Armament, but the number of thunderbirds has yet to be reduced to two digits. The sky is still full of them and the only reason that they are not getting close to the group is the fact that they are scared.
"Quantum Cascade!" Adrian casted as he increased the range of the skill to encompass the area that the thunderbirds occupy.
Adrian made a grabbing motion and the space above them suddenly became blurry. The space suddenly contracted as all the thunderbirds in a one-kilometer radius all became grouped up at the epicenter that Adrian has chosen. He then poured all his remaining mana into the next skill that he used.
"Gravity Control: Increase!" Adrian stated as the surrounding suddenly became heavy and the numerous thunderbirds came crashing down to the sea.
The thunderbirds that saw this happen all retreated to a further distance since they feared the demon more. Adrian's appearance became like a grim reaper to the thunderbirds, but his gravity control does not affect the thunderbirds all the way to the sea. The gravity control ended when the thunderbirds are about fifty meters above sea level.
The thunderbirds falling down are infuriated that they were taken out from the clouds. They collectively knew that they must kill that demon no matter what, but they will no longer have the chance to do so. A giant sea monster that is the cross between a whale and a shark suddenly opened its mouth wide.
With a large jump, the whale and shark hybrid sea monster crunched through numerous thunderbirds. The faces of the four friends are in complete shock as they did not expect a monster of that size in their general area. What sacred them more is the fact that they saw that it was actually level 340.
Monster Name: King Whalark
Level: 340
HP: Unknown
Mana: Unknown
Description: A large sea monster that could be said to be the second biggest mammal that lives in water. It is said to only surface when it is extremely hungry. The favorite food of the King Whalark are the giant squids, but it tends to swallow prey above sea when it notices numerous numbers of them.
Monsters in the sea tend to go above sea level in order to be safe from the great predators that lurk down below but that does not mean that they are perfectly safe. The King Whalark is one of the monsters that make it so due to its voracious appetite whenever it is hungry. The thunderbirds that saw their own kin be fish food retreated as they feared that they are next.
The thunderbirds scattered as they fled for their life. It was not worth it for them to avenge their fallen comrades as they only gathered there because of the leader of the flock. With the leader of the flock being fish food, the chain of command vanished, and they flew away at lightning speed.
"I think we managed to survive that." Levin Cloud stated as he ran out of mana from healing and protecting the group. He could not even drink a mana potion because of the rocky flight aboard Moksha.
The group thought that they are safe until large tentacles suddenly shot towards the skies. They are shocked that the tentacles came crashing down on their location, but its intended target is not them. They were just caught up in the attack as the huge tentacles wrapped around the King Whalark.
