The Skeletal Vulture was a gigantic carrion bird with a skull for its head. Despite the head being a skull, burning red eyes blazed within the sockets. Decaying feathers as black as night spread from its wings and its rotting body, allowing it to resemble a zombie. However, thre was nothing rotting about its sharp talons, which were wickedly curved and poised to tear through any kind of magical defense or metallic armor alike.
Even from this distance, just seeing the fearsome carrion bird sent chills down my spine, a cold that was as deep as the grave itself. With a flap of its massive wings, it soared above Wang Chui Niu, who stood arrogantly in the center of the stage, waiting for his opponents.
Glancing at the holographic screen, I saw that we had defeated a total of 40 students so far. Still less than half of the intended target. To prevent that number from shrinking a group of seven mages had strode forward to challenge Wang Chui Niu and his Skeletal Vulture.
