Chapter 261 – Mutated Fire Kite (1/2)

A massive firebird slowly appeared in the sky. Like a fiery setting sun, it seemed to cover half the continent.

“Screech!”

Another long screech resounded, and the monsters on the ground disregarded their lives to attack the townlet. Avian monsters dove down like rainfall and covered the top of the town wall in a black mass.

Over ten Yao bosses gathered up and cast attacks at the same patch of wall. With a rumble, that patch crumbled. The soldiers standing on it shouted in shock, as several of them fell off and were surrounded then torn to pieces by the monsters.

“Stay calm!” The general’s shout eclipsed the bird’s screech. At the same time, the archers on the wall released a volley of arrows at the Yao bosses and forced them back.

Flap flap… The firebird soared towards the townlet and looked down at the soldiers on the wall.

Fatty sneakily tossed Appraisal and got the bird’s information–

Mutated Fire Kite

High-rank Yao Boss

Level: ???

……

As expected, he got next to nothing.

The Mutated Fire Kite was nearly one hundred meters long from head to tail, its wingspan reaching up to two hundred meters. Its body was fiery red and the feathers looked like flames. Whenever a feather fell, it would set whatever it touched on fire. At this moment, the bird was flying around above the townlet, enveloping it in its massive shade as it stared at the general.

Yao bosses varied in strength. While they were all high-rank Yao bosses, the ones that the general had slain all combined were obviously still inferior to this mutated bird.

The bird didn’t make a move as it hovered in the air. It only watched as the monsters below risked their lives to charge at the wall.

From his hiding place, Fatty couldn’t hear anything from the wall, but it could be seen clearly that everyone was very anxious. The general kept sending out orders and gathered his troops.

After a large number of monsters died, the Mutated Fire Kite let out a loud screech. The monsters that were still alive all heaved a sigh of relief as the bosses led their underlings to retreat.

The wall was damaged in many places. A lot of soldiers were heavily injured and even more had died without a whole body as they were pulled down and torn apart by the monsters.

The general firmly grasped his blade with both hands and coldly locked eyes with the firebird.

Hoooo… The bird fluttered its wings. A sky of flames fluttered down like the most beautiful fireworks, but also carried with it fatal danger.

“Hah!” Following the general’s lead, the four guards behind him, as well as some military officers, attacked in unison.

Blades danced and sword lights soared into the sky. Magic skills and arrows pierced through layers of fire and struck the bird.

Puff… The majority of the flames were snuffed out by the attacks, the few that landed on the wall were put out by the soldiers.

As for the attacks that struck the bird, the beast only budged ever so slightly at this in addition to the few feathers that fell out.

“Damn it!” Fatty cursed and nimbly climbed down. Unluckily, several flames had landed on the tree where he was hiding.

Whoosh! The Yao bosses that hadn’t left abruptly raised their heads and looked at the place where Fatty landed dubiously.

Puff! A lizard opened his mouth. A tongue over ten meters long shot out at Fatty.

Fatty rolled on the spot and dodged the tongue, but this revealed his body.

The Yao bosses immediately stood up and stared at Fatty like tigers eyeing their prey.

“Passing by, I’m just passing by.” Fatty smiled awkwardly and ran for the townlet. He was sure he could slay a Yao boss; two of them would get a bit difficult. More than three at once? Fleeing was the only choice.

“Help!” screamed Fatty as he ran. All the NPCs on the wall and the Mutated Fire Kite turned to look at him.

Flutter… The bird gently flapped its wings. A series of flames quickly drifted towards Fatty.

“Who are you? State your name!” The general shouted loudly.

“Arghh, save me first and we can talk after!” Fatty evaded the flames in a flurry.

When he got to the wall, Fatty deployed the Zephyr Wings, wanting to fly up.

“Stop! One more step and you’ll die.” An elite archer aimed his arrow right at Fatty.

“Damn it! General, this little me is a citizen of Black Tortoise City. I came here for a mission. This is proof of my identity.” Fatty tossed up the Bronze Medallion.

“This is indeed Black Tortoise City’s medal. So he’s an honorary citizen,” The general commented as he checked the medallion.

“General, this thing can be forged…” a guard stepped forth and alerted.

“It’s fine. Look at his strength, we can easily handle him if needed. Let him up.” The general waved his hands.

Fatty climbed up the wall. He didn’t get to catch his breath when an NPC grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to the general.

“Why aren’t you staying in your city and ran here instead?” The general questioned.
