339 A Single Peak And The Flying Monsters

“Cool,” I stored it away, took a few pieces of meat and drank from the liquor. Then I looked at the gate.

The dust was cleared and the mural appeared in front of my eyes. Like before, it showed a new change than before.

This time the part which I was portrayed took a wider space than before. It still described me fighting among my summoned warriors.

It felt a little weird. Was I watching while fighting here or what?

But the greatest change was in that sphere. Before it showed two eyes, and now it showed a mouth opened and tilted in mockery as if it was mocking me.

I didn’t like this. This picture gave me a creepy feeling to be honest. Coupled with the eyes of that star, I felt like I was getting looked down by that thing.

Did it feel superior or much stronger than me? I couldn’t tell, but I became sure of one thing… That star or whatever it represented might be the big boss of this dungeon.

And I was getting looked down on by this boss. I didn’t like that.

Anyway, I ignored this weird thing as I didn’t intend to walk to the end of this dungeon test. The next map would be my last, hopefully it wouldn’t be much harder than here.

I grabbed my light weighted glaive and started banging over the gate doors until they were wide open.

“Time for the last map,” I said while stepping through the darkness inside the opened gate.

The world changed and this time the scene I saw was different.

“Flying monsters?!! Damn!” I looked up at the sky filled with dense blue clouds. The light coming before from the clear sky was hidden back under this thick carpet of blue clouds.

Yet the world wasn’t that dim, instead it was enough to see for miles around.

I was standing on top of a single peak, a mountain stretching downwards and in all directions like a behemoth. As I was at high altitude, I was closer to the clouds, enough to see thin lightning arcs appearing in silence and disappearing like they were wicked serpents.

Under this thick layer of clouds, I saw many monsters extending and flapping their three wings, one on each side and one that was at the end of a long tail.

It looked like the tail fin of a big whale. These monsters were broad in size, with bodies spanning for over ten metres. I even saw some reaching to staggering thirty metres in width.

As for their skin, it was covered with bubbles of transparent membrane, with pale blue fluid inside.

They looked weird, especially when they tried to change their direction. Their two wings over the sides of their bodies helped in accelerating and decelerating.

But the tail wing worked to rise up, fall down, turn left and right with ease. Yet it still felt weird.

*Roar!*

They roared the moment I appeared, but not like the thundering dragon roars. They were sort of singing, extending their roars to form a sort of melody that extended for half a minute.

Well… This place was really strange. I looked down below, trying to see the bottom of this mountain. Using my hawk eye skill, all I could see was a thin layer of faint blue clouds appearing at different distances until the body of the mountain vanished under their blue colour.

So I was trapped up here, with no way down. I looked around. The place seemed to have only this mountain peak, and nothing else.

It was a desolate place in my eyes, not as good as the green places I visited before.

“What should I do now?” I looked at the large number of these flying creatures with puzzlement. I knew I had to kill all of them, but how could I do that?

Plus the previous maps made me walk through different zones before I finally reached the gate. But here… There was only this mountain and nothing more.

At this moment, I thought about my ballistae and machine gun weapon. If I could use these, I’d easily be able to hunt down those winged monsters.

But when I searched my inflated inventory, I found that the machine gun weapons inside were considered special items and were all locked. Not to mention my chariot wasn’t available for me to use.

I stood on the peak, not knowing what I should do. The monsters already noticed me once I appeared here, but they seemed to not bother with me.

They kept flying and even playing with each other. I even saw two monsters seemingly in love and were dancing together while their bodies touched each other in midair.

This place… I wasn’t prepared to crush it.

But I didn’t give up easily. I took out my heavy glaive and waited for a group of monsters to fly closer to me. It took roughly half an hour for a group of twenty monsters to fly a closer distance from me.

“Shocking Glaive!” I instantly used this chance and released a mighty shocking wave from my glaive that enveloped these monsters. For a second there I thought I got them, at least wounding these monsters.

But the next second these monsters showed me their superiority. They flew so damn fast, getting outside the range of my skill in much ease.

The monsters didn’t get much damage! Only a few bubbles burst open, and nothing more.

I held my glaive tightly, prepared to summon my shield.

*Roar!*

“Here they come!”

Just as I brought out my shield, these monsters ignored me and kept flying away.

Damn! Weren’t that enough to attract their aggro?

I looked in surprise at this flying away group, then looked at other monsters. It was like what I did didn’t even annoy any monster or attract their attention.

What? Was I invisible in their eyes or what? How would I be able to fight these monsters then?
