Chapter 615: The Gale Garuda

Killing any monster and Boss in the Mythical Mirage would not yield any loot at all and therefore, after killing the Jebel Pangolin, Qin Ruo stretched his Angelic Wings and took off to the sea right away. He didn’t care to check on the corpse of the massive Overlord Boss at all.

In a blink of an eye, the only human in the Mythical Mirage had vanished. A huge black hawk with a humanoid face, cloaked in swirls of violet lightning, appeared above the ocean.

Tempest Eagles! Level 60 monsters that possessed both wind and electric elements. Their HP broke the 180,000 point mark. Each of these monsters were formidable in both Magic and Physical attacks.

Qin Ruo wasn’t afraid of Magic Attacks at all…

However, these Tempest Eagles’ sharp talons were perilous to him. With their powerful Physical Attacks, his Shield would be shattered with just one hit!

Apart from that, these Tier 6 monsters only yielded 200 points each, and he needed to score more than that—he couldn’t rise up to be on the top of the Leaderboard by killing these goons.

His primary target was the Tempest Eagles’ Boss…

The Gale Garuda! A Tier 6 Megaboss that would yield him 180,000 points. Top that with the 270,000 points he had, and his score would breach over 450,000 points! Instead of settling with the 270,000 points, he would certainly be more satisfied if he could obtain a much higher score.

To save time, Qin Ruo didn’t even bother to fight the hundreds of Tempest Eagles that flocked over. Instead, he quickly activated his Ring of Honor and mimicked one of the Tempest Eagles. By becoming one of them, he was able to get closer to the Gale Garuda faster after locating the Boss’s location.

The next thing he needed to do was lure the Tier 6 Megaboss to the shore…

Even though he could utilize the ocean’s geographical advantage to kill these Tempest Eagles, it would still take up too much of his time.

Besides, this was also the first time Qin Ruo faced off the Gale Garuda. He needed to play safe so as to prevent himself from making any mistakes. To obtain the 180,000 points, such obsessive precaution was a necessity!

***

The Gale Garuda was quite easy to locate.

Stretching its massive wings, its wingspan spread over two dozen meters! This thing was the biggest flying monster amongst the Tempest Eagles, as expected from their alpha! It also had a pair of silver metallic wings, shining bright way like brilliant diamond amongst the eagles. It was hard to miss.

As he saw the Gale Garuda flying amongst the Tempest Eagles, this Tier 6 Megaboss still didn’t detect Qin Ruo yet.

This Ring of Honor’s mimicing ability was quite effective. It was no wonder Qin Ruo was able to enter and leave the Underworld as he pleased using this ring.

***

The Gale Garuda was enjoying its day of flying around over the sea surface. Stretching out its beautiful silver wings, it swept through the drizzly ocean breeze, occasionally swooping down into the ocean to catch a prey for a quick bite.

Suddenly!

A surge of danger alerted its mind.

Focusing its keen eyes at the direction where the danger was sensed, the Gale Garuda then saw… nothing. There was nothing other than its fellow flying eagles. There was nothing, other than an… ordinary looking “Tempest Eagle”… that was flying straight at him.

Raising its beak, the Gale Garuda quickly swallowed the fish that it had caught.

In the next second, it glared at the moronic Tempest Eagle, who didn’t seem to know the rules in the family. Its eyes were fuming with suspicion and doubtfulness.

‘This stupid bird…’

‘Doesn’t it know that peasants aren’t allowed in the same league as the king?’

‘Hold on! Something’s wrong!’

The Gale Garuda squinted as it saw what was wrong with this “Tempest Eagle”.

Its eyes!

For the Tempest Eagle race, all members had a glaring fury in their eyes. They were all prideful creatures that were wild, untamable and violent.

They were the proud sons and daughters of the sea! They were the tornado of the ocean! A lightning that split the skies!

Yet, this “Tempest Eagle” was not like that…

Its eyes looked gentle and kind. There was something else hiding beneath its eyes… something foreign but familiar… a human!

Those were the eyes of a human adventurer!

Shrieeekkk!!

A loud deafening shriek from the eagle was heard, like thunder striking down from the heavens. The Gale Garuda quickly stretched out its wings as the golden feathers on its head stood up.

Glaring its fierce eyes at the invader who dared to disguise as one of its kind, the Gale Garuda swiftly swept over.

“Good, I’ll take you on then.”

Although he was found out much earlier than anticipated, Qin Ruo wasn’t worried as he came prepared.

Spreading his wings, he turned tail, skimmed the surface of the sea and zoomed away at full speed. In between taking out his nemesis and getting discovered early, Qin Ruo was more worried about getting into melee range with the Gale Garuda.

The Tier 6 Megaboss had two elements—wind and electric… so it most definitely knew how to teleport…

Watching its sharp silver claws, ones that could seemingly crush rocks into rubble at will, Qin Ruo was sure that it possessed not only Magic Attacks but also other Gifted Abilities like “Magic Penetration”.

One must be extra vigilant when facing off this kind of monstrosity in the air.

Thus, as countless Tempest Eagles watched on in confusion, the two “Elemental Eagles” had started a high-speed hot-pursuit over the ocean…

The small “Tempest Eagle” was flying as quickly as the wind.

However, the Gale Garuda was pursuing much quicker from behind, as though a massive bolt silver lightning crept and forked it way from behind. In a matter of seconds, the distance between the two of them had shortened from a hundred meters to around fifty meters.

“…”

Qin Ruo felt a string of uneasiness in his heart!

After gulping down Movement Speed Potion and Guardian Potion, his speed had been raised over the charts. The slashing sounds of wind whooshing by his ears made him question whether he was flying at three hundred miles per hour… yet, the Gale Garuda behind him was inching closer seemingly without much effort! This was so unreal…

Damn!

He had totally forgotten that this thing was a monster. He shouldn’t have expected it to act by his human standards!

“Shit!”

“Too bad I can’t use Liquid Form at the moment! Or else, I can escape this!”

Qin Ruo was so disheartened.

If he used his Aquawings, he could simply glide away to flee from the Gale Garuda while maintaining a constant distance. Yet, there were Tempest Eagles everywhere. If he were to remove his disguise, it wouldn’t be just the Gale Garuda that would be chasing him, the other stupid eagles would definitely give chase too!

As he was pondering, the Gale Garuda had flown closer to about forty meters away from him. Qin Ruo could almost hear the sounds of the Boss’s massive flapping wings from behind…

The situation was dire and time was ticking away!

“God damn it!”

Qin Ruo clenched his teeth and decided.

“Oh, f*ck it! I’ll do it!”

***

As the Gale Garuda soared over the ocean almost catching up to him, Qin Ruo suddenly slowed down and turned towards its attack range.

Boooom!!!

A massive icicle, formed by Qin Ruo’s magic, pierced out of the ocean, rocking up huge tidal waves! The Gale Garuda was stunned as it was caught in the attack.

Grabbing this opportunity, Qin Ruo quickly stretched out his wings and zoomed away before Gale Garuda was able to retaliate, pulling away forty meters from the Boss…

Shieeeek!!!

A loud shriek was heard from the eagle again.

The enraged Gale Garuda suddenly disappeared from Qin Ruo’s Elemental Perception!!

“Shit!!”

Qin Ruo didn’t think it would get enraged this easily. It had teleported right after being splashed by the huge tidal wave!

Chiii!!

As the Gale Garuda swept down from behind with a shriek, Qin Ruo’s Shadowfox stunned it with a Shadow Howl.

“Go!!”

After successfully stopping the Gale Garuda’s attack, Qin Ruo flung out over twenty Aqua Arrows from the ocean, freezing up in mid-air. The Gale Garuda had been shot on various parts of its body almost instantly.

The perfect sync in Qin Ruo and Poochie’s attacks struck the Gale Garuda unexpectedly!

Additionally, the Frozen Arrows had also started their freezing effects. Flapping its silver wings vigorously to maintain altitude, the Gale Garuda almost fell to the sea.

“Geez, almost got’em.”

Qin Ruo felt his spirits sink as he saw that the Gale Garuda was able to stabilize itself right before spinning out of control…

If the big bird had dropped into the water, it would have saved him a lot of trouble.

These avian creatures weren’t like the other land-based creatures. Once they had fallen into the ocean, it would be quite difficult for them to escape.

***

After stopping its attacks twice, the two had spread out their distance between them to hundreds of meters. The corpse of the Jebel Pangolin sprawled near the sandy beach nearby while the Amethyst Orc could be seen standing on the beach, standing by as he was ordered to before Qin Ruo left.

Eyeing at the enraged and flustered Gale Garuda pursuing from behind, an interesting idea crept into Qin Ruo’s mind.

***

As they were getting closer and closer to the shore, the Gale Garuda’s anger had also gradually dissipated. Scanning the corpses of pangolins on the beach and that massive lifeless body of Jebel Pangolin, it couldn’t help but to feel the rude awakening of an alarm in its heart.

That Tier 5 Overlord Boss was quite strong… even stronger than it…

Could it be that all this was the work of this one human Aquamancer?

That’s impossible!

A single Level 54 Aquamancer was able to face off against hundreds of Blackscale and Deathscale Pangolins and that gigantic Jebel Pangolin, and win?!

Even if all of its Tempest Eagles had gathered together, they wouldn’t be able to take on the Jebel Pangolin.

Rolling its eyes, the Gale Garuda set its sights on the Orc that was standing on the beach!

However, that Orc was just a Tier 5 Miniboss. The huge eagle sighed in relief after this revelation…

If it needed to take on this Miniboss, it only needed to send a few Tier 6 underlings to take care of it.

Nonetheless, it was impossible for this one human and one monster to defeat that Jebel Pangolin.

It needed to quickly end this battle before the real culprit showed up!

Shieeek!!!!

Letting out a loud shriek, the Gale Garuda darted straight at the Aquamancer that it was pursuing.

Splash!!!!

As the water suddenly splashed out to the sky like a blooming flower, an unknown entity emerged from it! In the next second, a jet-black slash went straight for the Gale Garuda’s golden feather on its head!
