Chapter 90 - #89 Kiyomi (1/2)

The Eagle-like Danger Beast started swaying back and forth so I used this chance to jump down from its back right in front of it and glared at it. After a few more seconds, it finally shook its head with a confused expression and looked down at me.

It suddenly froze because it was too confused. It finally got out of its frenzy, just to see a human in front of it without any weapon in hand who was just staring at it.

”Are you too confused so you just froze in place instead of doing anything at all? Aren't you Danger Beast? Shouldn't you like...attack me?” I asked with an amused smile while shrugging my shoulders.

”...*chirp* *cheep*” It just stared at me for a while before releasing first sounds that were similar to normal birds only stronger and louder.

This Danger Beast is a bit more special than I thought...it is cautious, quick, quite strong and also intelligent. It practically told me right now that it doesn't feel any hostility from me and that it isn't hungry right now, it also looks like it is female.

'What is wrong with you? Why were you rampaging around this mountain?' I asked her through ”telepathy”.

*chirp!* *chirp!* *SCREECH!*

I see...quite an angry mother but who wouldn't be. Her eggs were apparently stolen and eaten by another aerial beast. And even then, she wasn't able to avenge her unborn children.

'I have a proposition for you, join me! Join me and I will make those who hurt you and your children regret their actions!' I said while extending my hand to her with a confident smirk.

”...*SCREECH!!*” She looked down after hearing this but after a few seconds, she looked at me with slightly red eyes which indicated that she was desperate for revenge.

”Once I will fulfill your revenge, you are willing to become my pet, huh?” I muttered what she just practically told me.

I can also just tame it by force and by adding it into my class's ”collection” she will be forced to listen to my orders anyway but...That would leave a bad taste in my mouth. Letting beast that killed children of my own tamed beast live would be quite humiliating even for me.

'Lead me to where you saw it for the last time, if we will find it, you will have your revenge in no time.' I used my telepathy and jumped on her back without even waiting for her response.

She was a bit surprised by this but she quickly took off and flew to the sky with me sitting on her back.

I was slightly surprised when she flew into the direction I intended to go in the first place.

...

We flew for a few minutes at an incredible speed and we quickly left that arid land and entered some kind of forest full of trees, despite sitting on her back high in the sky, I was unable to see the end of the forest but I was able to notice one enormous tree in the middle.

Hm...That might be its nest, the place looks quite grand and to be able to create its nest on the tallest tree means that it is quite strong or that there simply aren't any stronger beasts around here.

After we got a bit closer, I was finally able to see it resting in its nest.

'Fly around its nest to provoke it and then lure it out to lower height, I don't enjoy fighting in the sky as you do.' I used telepathy to order her and she instantly did as I said.

Our target took the bait after my taxi made several ŀȧps around its nest while throwing a few insults at its color of feathers and poorly built nest. I was dumbfounded after hearing birds's insults, that was a completely new thing to me.

When the height was no longer that drastic, I ordered her to stop fleeing and face our target instead.

...I can't exactly jump from her back or I will risk breaking it, I am glad I still have my other means.

[Phantom Strike]

[Energy: 1495/1515]

I disappeared from her back and suddenly appeared right in front of our target. The beast's wingspan was more than numerous meters yet it was extremely fast, almost as fast as my smaller taxi.

I slashed my sword intending to slash open its abdomen. Despite it being caught off guard it still reacted quite fast and blocked my sword with both of its legs and claws and in addition, it attacked me by firing a few of its feathers at me.

Only a smirk appeared on my face when I saw the feathers nearing me.

[Hail of Blades]

[Energy: 1445/1515]

3 broadswords appeared behind me and 2 of them were sent to pierce its wings while the last one was meant to somehow damage its legs but not to kill it. While I did this, the feathers already arrived in front of me and I just extended my right arm in front of me to create a shield made of fire. The feathers instantly burned in the heat of my flames and by broadswords did their job too.

The bird started falling down due to its wings being damaged but it was still able to glide for a bit. I also started falling down since I had no wings at all but after a few seconds, I landed on something soft.

There goes my test...not bad. Although I would easily survive fall from such a height, my taxi doesn't know that. It warms my heart that she actually helped me even though she didn't have to, heh.

'Let's go down' I told her and patted her back before jumping down from her back, earning a horrified look in her eyes while looking at me falling down.

*BANG!* When I have fallen down on the ground, debris flew everywhere. I landed right next to the injured beast but it looks like it was no longer able to move due to its injured legs and wings.

I approached its head and stopped right in front of it. It looked at me with hatred in its eyes and tried to bite off half of my body with its beak.

*shriek* My taxi was already next to me and stopped the beak from reaching me by stepping on the beast's head, immobilizing it.

Hm?

I noticed that my newly tamed beast was looking at me as if waiting what it should do next.

'Do whatever you want, this is your revenge, not mine, I have no interest in killing it.' I told her before turning around slowly walking away to give her some space.

*Screech!* She immediately clawed out its eyes and then bit off its entire head.
