The majestic bird of the world made its way towards them, but just as it was about to reach it stopped midair and floated a small distance away from them.
The bird mostly ignored Poe and Lucia, as it focused all of its killing intent towards the smiling Ivy.
The world slowly came to a standstill, as Ivy and the bird started at each other, both brimming with fighting spirit.
It seemed like hours passed from them starring at each other, but in reality only a moment had passed. Not able to stand still and wait anymore, the majestic bird of the world flapped its wings sending two sharp blades formed by wind magic towards Ivy.
Ivy did not just stand still and receive the attack head on. Gathering fire beneath her feet, Ivy detonated it launching herself into the air towards the bird while also dodging the attack.
Poe and Lucia on the other hand was not doing that well. First, some wind blades almost kill them of and then the ground explodes just besides them, if it was not for them moving away from Ivy earlier things could have gone bad for both of them…
Having survived the initial attack of the majestic bird of the world and for some reason also Ivy. Poe and Lucia made their way to safety, by hiding behind a nearby sky pillar.
Flying towards the bird, Ivy formed a fist before enveloping it completely in fire, as Ivy reached in front of the giant bird; her fire fist had grown to be at least 5 times bigger than her normal fist, as she slammed it towards the bird in front of her.
The majestic bird of the world did not play around either as it formed a giant shield made water in front of itself.
As the fire fist and water shield met each other, both of them started to grow weaker. The fire fist started to grow smaller, while the water shield evaporated into the air.
Just as the fire fist was about to disappear a lance made of fire made its way towards the bird piercing through the water shield hitting the bird's right wing.
Seeing that the surprise attack worked, Ivy was excited as what was left of her fire fist also landed on the head of the bird.
Sadly, just as Ivy thought it would be an easy victory, she noticed that the bird did not seem hurt and at a closer look, an earthen light seemed to envelop the entire bird.
"What is that, it can use water, wind and e… earth magic? So that is what that yellow light around it is! Nevertheless, to be able to defend itself from my fire lance… It is indeed strong!"
Having realized how the bird managed to defend itself, Ivy did not get discouraged. No, she got even more excited realizing that the majestic bird of the world was indeed as strong as she thought it would be. After all, it would be too boring if it lost after only one clash.
Making some distance from the bird, Ivy landed on the ground and stared up at the giant bird floating above her.
"Damn bird! I'd like to see if you can survive this!"
Saying so, fire started gather by Ivy's side slowly forming a gigantic flame lance way bigger than the flame lance from before.
The bird on the other side did not sit by and do nothing, as it combined wind, water and earth magic together forming a layer of three-colored light that coated both of its wings.
Having finished the preparations, the majestic bird of the world used its most powerful attack as it dived towards Ivy.
"Caaaaaw!"
Letting out a majestic sound the bird arrived in front of Ivy.
Ivy had also barely managed to finish her spell, as she let go of the flame lance by her side making it fly towards the bird that arrived in front of her.
The wings coated in the three-colored light and the giant flame lance soon crashed against each other in a giant explosion of light.
Both sides pushed against each other, neither giving way to the other side, but Ivy had prepared a special gift just for the little bird in front of her.
The bird that could feel the giant flame lance weakening in front of it and got excited pushing even harder to finish of the annoying human in front of it, but just as it thought it was about to win something happened.
Behind the giant bird, 20 fire arrows slowly materialized and flew towards the undefended back of the bird.
Fire arrows were a quite basic fire magic and were not really that strong, but even the majestic bird of the world could not afford to get by 20 without defending itself.
Seeing that it could not move to defend its back with the giant flame lance pushing from the front, it slowly realized that it had fallen for the tiny humans trap!
Ivy created the giant flame lance, just so the bird would think Ivy went all out and of course, force the bird to respond with an all-out attack, but that was also, why the attack was dangerous. The bird ended up winning the exchange between the three-colored light and the giant flame lance, because Ivy had not gone all out!
If it continued for even a little longer, Ivy would be in danger of dying, but that did not happen as the fire arrows arrived and struck the back of the bird.
"CAAAW!!!!"
Letting out an angry and unwilling screech the bird lost control of the three-colored light coating its wings. This proved to be a great opportunity Ivy would not miss, as she directed her remaining power into the flame lance enchanting its power just enough for her to pierce through the birds defenses, killing it!
[You have killed a titan class monster and have been awarded with the titan slayer title]
[For killing a level 17 titan class monster, you gained 25.000 EXP]
"HAHAHA, I WON DAMNED BIRD!! HAHA"
Switching back to Poe and Lucia's side. Poe was scared to an enormous degree when he saw the fight between Ivy and the majestic bird of the world, but seeing Ivy winning, Poe started to think it was reasonable for him to fear her and Lucia did not have much of a reaction. Maybe she knew of Ivy's strength?
[A member of your group killed a level 17 titan without your help, you gained 2500 EXP]
To think he even got 2500 EXP for not helping… Thinking this, Poe decided to look at Ivy's status.
[Ivy, human fire lord, lvl 18]
[Titles: Fire lord; Grand Pervert; Titan Slayer; ???]
Ah, she got a new title and reached level 18, she even went from a normal pervert to a grand pervert… Well, it is Ivy after all…
Thinking this, Poe sighed to himself before moving towards the exhausted Ivy together with Lucia.
