Chapter 77: 77. Not actually a seventh class
The bird suddenly saw a black spear past the side of its face and stuck in the ground in front of it.
A sudden black image flashed beside its face and a human charged forward.
Dexter grabbed onto the body of the spear and he swung horizontally, making a circular turn, his leg hit the creature on its face and it wa ony sent a few centimeters away.
Dexter removed his spear from the ground and looked at the creature fiercely.
"Brother Dexter." Lily mumbled behind him as she looked at the creature which stared at Dexter with rage and hatred.
Lily was about to attack the creature and she summoned solid flat discs of poison and as she was about to go and attack the bird, Dexter's voice reached her ears.
"Stop. That's not a normal creature." Dexter said and Lily calmed down.
"What should I do?" Lily asked as she saw the bird looking at them as it pondering on what to do as of this moment.
"I'll defeat it." Dexter said with a fierce gaze.
'Damn that Marco. He knew that the creature wasn't normal.' Dexter gritted his teeth and he jumped forward towards the creature with his spear in place and the creature began to exude a golden light.
A faint, golden, transparent light suddenly wrapped the bird and it shot towards Dexter at light speed, leaving a trail of goldwn light as it flew.
'What?! It got faster!' Dexter suddenly created a large shadow spike in front of him a loud bang resounded before he dismisses it.
The bird was there while shaking its head which it hit on the spike and he swiped his spear at the body.
Unfortunately, Dexter was too slow and it suddenly zoomed and appeared fifty metres away from him.
The bird glowed brightly in a gold colour and it flew upwards, leaving a brighter trail of gold and Dexter readied himself for what was to come.
The golden light came his way.
Poison shards and spikes began lounging towards the golden light which was coming down but it was no use.
"Save your Stamina and spirit energy, you'll have to Carry me out of here if things get out of hand!" Dexter shouted and Lily nodded.
Dexter ducked as he felt a chilling breeze and the sharp wing of the eagle passed over his head and a gust of wind shocked him as the bird flew past.
'Damn it. Come down already.' Dexter thought while gritting his teeth and wondering why a bird would only fly in circles, talk more of an eagle.
Dexter looked below it to see the mountain formed with the debris of the broken building and that's when Dexter finally do it for yourselves.
"Of course, it's being protective of its children." Dexter thought with a smile as he zoomed towards the mountain of rocks.
Dexter had his target in sight now. The giant nest which contained children.
As soon as the eagle sighted him it dived down at sound speed while shrieking loudly and Dexter knew that this was probably what he needed to do to make the bird mad.
Dexter ran towards the nest at the top of the mountain of bricks and the bird too lunged towards him.
The sun was not down completely and Dexter jumped towards the bird, using his [force release] skill to boost his speed in air.
The beak of the bird gleamed as it came towards him.
At this rate, they were going to collide. Dexter wasn't sure whether his body was tough enough to withstand the sharpness of the beak.
The wind howled in Dexter's ears and as soon as he got close enough to the eagle which was about to collide with him, he clapped his hands together.
*BOOM!*
A Shockwave rippled through the air, knocking back the bird and putting it out of balance.
A golden flame formed on Dexter's palm and he took advantage of the bird trying to regain balance and he shot the flames towards it.
The golden flames roared as it went towards the bird and the bird, upon seeing the flames, wrapped itself in its wings to defend it.
*BLAZE!!*
The fire consumed the bird fully and Dexter fell down from the sky freely, and he turned and landed on his feet.
"Brother! Are you okay?" Lily asked as she came towards him.
"Yeah. I am." Dexter stood up straight.
[Spirit energy: 60/330]
[Stamina: 172/181]
Dexter closed his eyes as he listened closely. Hearing the breathing of the creature behind a pile of bricks that he almost killed he readied himself as he looked towards the sun.
It was already down!
*BOOM!!!*
The bricks were destroyed as a golden light flew towards them at nearly sound speed, blowing away dust and zombies as it past.
'Since the sun is already down.' Dexter thought, summoning his sixth class shadow spear in his hand.
He hit the bottom of the spear into the ground, causing a clanking sound to echo.
The shadow of the buildings nearby morphed and thick ropes made out of these shadows lunged towards the golden light before wrapping it.
The eagle stopped the moment it reached in front of Dexter, almost removing his head.
"L--Lily."
Hearing her name she looked towards Dexter with a curious expression.
"Your bracelet." Dexter mumbled and Lily immediately removed it and handed it with him.
According to what Lily told him about this bracelet, each of these four blue crystals on it store spirit energy.
Dexter wore the bracelet and instantly, he felt something in him spark, something that wasn't there before but was always there, he couldn't explain it.
He put his hand back on the spear and he looked at the eagle which had less feathers on its body and it wiggled in the shadow binds as it tried to escape.
'I didn't have enough spirit energy to continually use the sun flame. Let's use this one.' Dexter thought as he channeled the strongest form of fhe attack he wanted to use.
'Shadow... spike.'
A large spike suddenly bursted out from the ground at light speed. The bird moved upwards with it as it screeched but more vines from other buildings came and held it from moving.
The eagle was strong, Dexter hardened the spike and as he was about to give up, the eagle stopped screeching as the spike pieced through its body.
Dexter fell in his butt as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.
He didn't feel exhausted physically, but he felt like sleeping for some reason. His spirit was tired.
The shadows dispersed and Lily hugged Dexter from behind.
Dexter smiled as he saw the golden lines of the tiran which had mesmerizing words this time.
[You have slayed a level 20 seventh order intern - Golden eagle. You have recieved 26,214,400 spirit points and 3905 Heaven's tower points.]
[Power level difference bonus 2000 Heaven's tower points.]
[You have gained a skill.] – [Do you wish to summon?] - [Yes] | [No]
[You have levelled up to level 19. You have gained 3 free stat points to distribute freely.]
'This is nice.' Dexter sighed as he smiled.
'This is really nice.' He began nodding his head.
Dexter furrowed his brows as his eyes went to the part where it was written; seventh class intern.
'Seventh class intern?' He thought in confusion.
'Normally an intern is like, in training for a particular job... so does this mean that...' Dexter swallowed.
'...that this golden eagle was not actually a seventh class.'
Dexter shuddered at the thought.
For the eagle to still be in training to be a seventh class, he wouldn't be able to gauge the power of a real seventh class creature.
'The only advantage I have is boosted stats and this sixth class spear.' Dexter looked at the spear one more time before dismissing it into his spirit.
'Hm? I got a skill.' Dexter thought as he summoned the skill he got and a golden orb which emitted a faint light appeared above his palm.
[Might aura: When using the skill, the user's agility and strength is doubled.
A skill meant for humanoid creatures. In the hands of monsters, only boosts their strength and agility by 50%.]
[Do you wish to learn?]
[Yes] | [No]
Dexter was shocked to see the skill descriptions.
'An Unranked skill! Double strength and agility!' Dexter's eyes widened.
He remembered what the fairy in Heaven's tower spoke of about Unranked skills. They were the only abilities that could accompany a person up to the first class.
Dexter quickly clicked on the [Yes] to learn and he grinned.
Lily who was beside him was looked up to the nest and wondered what could be up there.
"What?" Dexter mumbled and Lily looked at him.
[You don't have enough mind points to learn this skill. Required mind points; 200]
'Apparently I don't even have enough mind points. Which level would I have to be to have that much stat points?' Dexter folded his arms in amazement.
He remembered the fairy also saying that he needed more mind points to learn better and more skills.
He looked up at the nest which was up above the hill and he gave Lily the skill orb.
"Hold on. I'll be back in a bit." He leapt up towards the tall hill of broken buildings and he summoned his long, black spear.
He reached above the mountain to see three golden eggs which were almost 90 centimeters tall.
Without hesitation he plunged his spear into the first egg within reach.
