Chapter 67

Alexander realized the flying beast before him was a formidable one, its presence was even more daunting than the rat's. He was unsure of his ability to combat it, but he knew he had no choice.

"I cannot allow it to reach the village, or there will be a bloodbath," he roared, sprinting toward the forest and leaping into the trees.

Propelled like a cannonball, he aimed to cut off its path. As he soared, a sword materialized in his right hand, blazing with an infernal glow. Drawing nearer, he caught a fleeting look at the creature's form.

It is a monstrous creature with a reptilian appearance. It has large, black leathery wings that are spread wide, giving it a menacing presence.

The creature's body is long and serpentine, with a thick, muscular torso and a long, tapering tail. Its legs are short and powerful, with sharp claws at the end of each foot, and its head has a long, pointed snout with sharp teeth.

Its wings covered the sky, letting everyone know its presence. It was about 7 meters tall, clearly a sight to behold.

Alexander did not fret at all. He needs to give everything he got. Gripping the handle of the sword in his hand, his eyes blazed red.

With all his strength, he made a rough and heavy swing in mid-air as he hacked at the beast. The strike was swift and brutal.

The flying creature seeing a shadow in its sight and realized it was a human. It narrowed its eyes and growled angrily as its black eyes glinted maliciously.

Before Alexander could reach it to attack, the beast countered his strikes with a tail whip. Alexander growled, being overpowered.

The beast was so strong that even the scales of its tail were harder than steel, creating sparks and shockwaves that spread throughout the surroundings.

Seeing that the human in front of him had strength, the beast growled ferociously. It was so loud that the beasts in the surrounding area ran for their lives. The villagers were greatly woken up by the loud roar.

Getting outside of their homes, they saw something straight out of a nightmare. Some of them kneeled on the ground, looking at it above the sky.

"It's the mighty flying creature of the night, Ravenwing. We are all doomed," the villagers muttered, in dismay, as their life lost color all of a sudden.

"We are doomed. That young man could not handle that beast at all. This is the end," another one added. They also saw Alexander's figure up in the sky, even though it was far away.

Aeloria and Anya were also outside, seeing his opponent. She was also pale, seeing the appearance of the beast. She was trembling all over, seeing the flying beast in the night sky.

"Alex, please be safe. Please be safe. Please be alright," she prayed in her heart, since she knows how dangerous this beast is.

Ravenwing, a race of beasts called the Nightwing. They are not the same as dragons, but their might and prowess cannot be underestimated at all.

It is even stated that an adult Ravenwing is truly terrifying, since it can destroy and cause mass destruction for some small cities.

"Everyone, we should escape and find a safe place to hide," one of the villagers suggested. The rest of them looked at him like an idiot.

If they really do escape, where should they run off to? The forest? They will die from the beasts in there.

Also, even though they were afraid, they didn't want to leave the young warrior who has been protecting them for days.

Seeing the resolute look of the rest of the villagers, the one who suggested this gritted his teeth and decided to stay.

But all of them took a step back to find a safer spot. The man in black, who was up in the forest, saw that a Ravenwing appeared in the sky.

"Fuck, why is this beast here? Was it also attracted to the blood gem? This is bad. It's still not fully charged yet," he cursed.

He could only pray for Alexander to defeat it so he can use the blood gem for his self. But he didn't put his trust in Alexander at all.

He clearly knows how strong a flying creature like that is. It was a spirit beast that had cultivated its body and spirit to a strong level.

Alexander, whose sword strike was blocked by the beast, and was being overpowered as the Ravenwing increased the strength in its tail, making him fly back. He gritted his teeth, feeling the strong force of the beast.

He flew like a meteor, but quickly balanced himself, landing on the ground with one knee. Looking straight up, he leaped up again, as the ground beneath him caved in.

He began to face it again, with another strike. The Ravenwing looked at him disdainfully for being such a nuisance.

It opened its huge jaw, releasing a roar that was devastatingly powerful. It seemed to break the sound barrier, creating a sonic wave.

Alexander was caught by surprise and was hit. His ears buzzed as he fell to the ground, creating a big crater.

Seeing him fall again, the villagers began to sigh, knowing that the young warrior was no match for it after all.

Alexander spurted a mouthful of blood. His body was greatly pinned to the ground, as he stood up from it.

"This beast is really different from what I have fought. Even with the buff of my skills, I am no match at all," Alexander said with a frown.

He didn't know what to do since everything seemed to be working against him.

Suddenly, unknown to him, a smile was slowly forming on his face as he looked at the beast. Not feeling scared at all, since he will not die, but if he dies then the people behind him will die.

"It's do or die right now," he muttered.

His killing intent surged, as his strength increased. The beast hovered above, wings spread wide and casting a dark shadow over Alexander.

With a powerful beat of those wings, it sent a fierce gust of wind downward, nearly forcing him back to his knees.

The Ravenwing let out another growl, its piercing black eyes glinting with malice, as if relishing a low insect's struggles.

Alexander steadied himself, gripping his sword tighter. He took a deep breath, focusing his energy and letting his strength surge through him.

Without hesitation, he leaped forward, aiming another strike at the creature's chest.

But the Ravenwing anticipated his move, twisting its body just enough for Alexander's blade to barely scrape across its hardened scales, sending a scatter of sparks but doing no real damage at all.

The Ravenwing retaliated, swinging its tail with even greater speed. Alexander barely managed to duck, feeling the force graze the top of his head. The shockwave from the impact caused a rattle in his bones.

He skidded back, but he quickly launched himself forward yet again, with cold eyes, not to give it an inch of rest.

He swung his sword down in a brutal arc, hoping to break through its defenses. But once again, the beast's tail intercepted, blocking his strike effortlessly.

Gritting his teeth, Alexander's mind raced. He knew he had to find an opening, a weak point in its defenses.

But the Ravenwing wasn't giving him any. Every time he moved in, its tail, wings, or claws were there, deflecting his blows, creating a wall of impenetrable defense.

"This beast is really such a headache," he bellowed, clearly irritated.

The Ravenwing's laughter, a dark and rumbling sound, filled the air, mocking him for his attempts.

Enraged, Alexander pushed himself harder, calling on every reserve of strength he had. His eyes turned crimson as he increased his strength.

[Berserker Instinct: Power increased by 30%.]

He slashed at the beast with relentless speed, each strike faster and harder than the last, but it was like striking at an unbreakable stone.

His hands began to ache from the impact, his arms growing heavier, but he refused to back down.

Once more, the beast opened its massive jaws, preparing to unleash another thunderous roar. This time, Alexander braced himself, crossing his arms to shield his ears just as the sound exploded outward, shaking the very earth beneath him.

The villagers gasped, watching helplessly as he was thrown back again, dust and debris clouding around his fallen form.

Slowly, Alexander pushed himself up, blood trickling from his lips. His body screamed in pain, and yet, beneath it all, he felt the faintest hint of exhilaration.

"Alright, you flying creature," he muttered, while gritting his teeth, a fierce light is present in his eyes. "Let's see just how strong you really are."

Alexander said coldly, narrowing his eyes. He held the blade in his hand with a strong momentum, maximizing his strength. The aura surrounding him became thicker and stronger.

[Berserker Instinct: Power increased by 50%.]

Seeing him about to strike again, suddenly the beast growled loudly in the sky, as some small flying creatures covered the whole sky.

There were not hundreds of them, but thousands. They were small flying creatures that had the same features as a Ravenwing.

The beast then growled, signaling all its lackeys to wreak havoc and wipe out everything. Alexander just stood on his grounds, as a grin formed across his face.

With this, he knows that if his blade absorbs this small creature's blood, his strength will soar exponentially.

"You have made a wrong move" Alexander said with a laugh.
