As he stared at the creature his mind was racing. His instincts were screaming to run, but he stood his ground. He couldn't let himself falter again. He wants to become strong, he has to. As he came to resolve himself for his actions and what he must do, the bird screeched and flapped its wings blowing a gust of air nearly throwing him off balance.
'No more time to waste,' Isaiah ran towards the bird as it brought its wing around to slash his body with its steal like feathers. Leaping up into the air Isaiah barely flipped himself over the wing in time as the snow blew off the building from the shock wave caused by the flailing of the creature's wings. As Isaiah landed and rolled forward he jumped up to his feet. As his vision recovered he saw a flash of yellow light followed by his body getting shocked and he was sent flying across the roof. Blood came out of his mouth as he coughed and struggled to get up. Running around the bird as fast as he could he jumped and slammed his fist towards the back of the bird's head. The monster's body stumbled a bit before more electricity strikes around the bird several times only for Isaiah to barley jump back in time.
A loud screech sounded out from it before it slammed its wings down and the edge caught his chest cutting him before he could react. As he fell backward the bird shot up into the air once again circling the building starring at him. getting up with one hand on top of the gash on his chest coated in blood, he watched the monster float around in the air as if it was thinking about something. Suddenly the bird stopped in the air and stared down at him.
'Wait...does it have a-' As he started processing, it cut him off by opening its mouth and streaks of electricity blot around its mouth as a glow in its throat rises up and out. Almost instantly a beam of energy shot out towards the building.
A glint in Isaiah's eyes changed, for a brief moment as if his eyes flickered to an aqua blue. "Now!" a light flashed next to his hand and a long Halberd appeared in his hands and he leaped to the side. As soon as he got a glimpse of the creature's head behind the beam and hurled the Halberd towards the creature's mouth. As it made contact with the monster, the things head snapped back. A blood-curdling screech and the thing plummeted towards the ground.
lightning struck all around and some bolts hit the bird. For a full minute the wings flailed around shock waves sounded out. Finally silence among the snowy blizzard fell only the wind made a sound and Isaiah stood hunched over near the edge of the building starring at the beast.

*Arctic-Tempest-Bird was slain*

'Great...anything else?...'
*You've received a rare chest in your inventory*
'...Yaaay....' Isaiah fell off and into the snow on the ground.
~ Sometime later~
Nicole came out and found Isaiah's body lying in the snow. She picked him up in a panic and brought him inside. after looking at his body she noticed his hoodie had a large gash in it and dried blood coating the area but on the skin there was no sign of damage or cuts. She wasn't sure why this happened but was relieved that he wasn't hurt. When she looked up through the glass front doors, she saw a large pole coming out of the creature's body. Unsure what it was or what to do at the moment. After thinking about it she waited for him to wake up before doing anything.
A few minutes pass before he opened his eyes and saw Nicole sitting next to him. "...where are we"
smiling she replied," We're inside, I found you outside."
"o...I see... Is everyone else ok?"
"uh yeah, a lot of people were worried but no one got hurt."
"That's good," Isaiah sat up and looked at the corpse outside with his weapon lodged in its head. after a slight sigh he got up and went out climbing onto the bird. He approached the head and wrapped his hand around the metal halberd. Tensing his grip he ripped the blade up and out of the creature tearing the flesh free from the halberd and twirled it as the blood came off the upper half of it before it glowed and dissipated back into his inventory. As he stared at the corpse he thought of what to use it before he got an idea.
'can I sell the corpse of this?'
*you can quick dismantle and get the usable items put in your inventory and the rest sold in the shop function*
'do that'
*processing*
*Acting*
A blue light flashed and then the body disappeared and he fell to the ground.
*actions completed.*
After getting up and brushing himself off he went back inside and passed back out on a couch like a bench in the entrance. Nicole stared watching as this whole scenario went down and didn't know how to react anymore. She was too tired for this shiz anymore. Getting up she stretched.
The snow outside started to calm down and the wind grew quieter.
