Chapter 1041: 1041. Sharp Feathers

ʼLesser Roc

These flying type wind elemental monsters are descended from an ancient monster known as a roc. The roc was known to have an extremely powerful wind elemental affinity. As descendants of the roc, these lesser roc are known for their high wind affinity and sharp feathers. They like to hide their nests on mountain sides or cliff faces.

They are known to migrate long distances in search of food and do not shy away from attacking anything, even if they will lose. They are extremely proud and event attack dragons.ʼ

Midnight jumped and snapped one of the smaller lesser rocs from the air. She was annoyed by their screeching and attempts to swoop down at them. ”Watch out for their feathers!” Walker pulled Alice back and Su covered her just as another swooped down and scratched against her shields. If the shields had not been made so well, Walker was sure that they would be majorly damaged.

Gil and Remey fell in behind Walker and Su as they started t push down the path. ”I saw a space up ahead where someone has camped before. That is where we can deal with these.” Gil wanted to stop the annoying screeching from the rocs but also felt that he would be able to use the roc feathers as a perfect arrow material.

”Onyx had left the safety of his tattoo form and wrapped himself around Alicesʼ shoulders. He was acting as an additional shield for her neck and back in case the rocs got past the shields. He knew that Su and Walker would never allow that to happen but he couldnʼt do much else while they were on the narrow path following the river.

”This is the spot. Walker, I need you to keep me covered while I take them out.” The battle would rely on Gil the most. He was the only one other than Walker that could take out flying enemies from the ground. Su was busy shielding the others and Walker had to be the moving shield to protect Gil as he fired arrow after arrow.

”I will distract them. I have a countering fist I want to use. I figured it out fighting those ocean pests.” Remey had been in battle against the kraken spawn with their barbed tentacles. In the flurry of battle, she had struck out and hit one tentacle with her fist. This had been the moment she realized she could use her offense for defense and turn it against her opponent.

The next roc that swooped down was not the luckiest in the world. Remey had equipped her knuckled, specifically, the earth affinity knuckles. She slammed them to the ground and a few pieces of earth stuck to her hands. Her elemental fist skill was interesting when was used with earth elemental mana. The defense of her fists specifically became higher.

The roc that collided with them felt its wing shatter and was crushed by Remeyʼs next hit.

The roc that attempted to avenge its fallen comrade was blocked the same way. But this time the party watched as it flew back with high force. This was the counter fist skill in action. If Remey used it with another affinity knuckle or without one at all then she would have received cuts on her hands.

Yet, with the earth affinity knuckles equipped she had the perfect defense to resist the sharp roc feathers.

”Remey, get back. They are using magic!” Walker called her back just in time. The rocs were showing off their wind elemental affinity and manipulated the wind in to sharp blades that shot out with their feathers. Three of them lodged in to the ground where Remey had been standing just moments ago.

”And that was what I needed them to do.” Gil released a wither spike arrow and knocked one of the lesser rocs out of the air. It was dead before it even hit the ground.

”The earth fortress is coming up. Gil and Walker stay outside.” Su pulled Remey near and grasped the dwelling earth shield. She had quickly swapped shields and raised the earth fortress. Alice was going to start to sing but she was silenced by the muddy earth that raised around them. ”Next time you can help. But these are too fast for you and it was an ambush.”

”Gil, letʼs scare the rest off.” Walker and Gil nodded that they were both ready. Gil had the help of Zephyr within the bow to channel the wind elemental mana. Adding Walkerʼs manipulation of the wind, the pair had a powerful wind elemental arrow that was exceeding the strength of any wind attacks the lesser rocs could master. ”Now!”

The pair released the wind elemental arrow in a large gust of wind. The lesser rocs were blown away and some even fell out of the sky stunned. Gil and Walker didnʼt allow their sudden mana use to slow them. They attacked quickly to get the lesser roc that had been stunned. The few that were left flew off in fraught.

”Alright, taking the long route back was a lot less easy and fun than I expected.” Walker could see some of the feathers that had been lodged in the ground standing upright. He knew that the party was close to some serious wounds.

Su could sense that the rocs had flown away. There was also the sudden silence since the rocs were not screeching anymore. Midnight had also begun to snap up the defeated lesser rocs and drag them toward the rest of the party. There was part of her looking forward to the feast she would have after Gil and Walker had harvested all of the feathers.

But there was also part of her screaming that she should be able to take to the skies and fly against the lesser rocs. The moment she dropped the last lesser roc on the pile she started training her wings.
