Leo smiled, he got a plan and it was simple. Such a thing is something he should have done a long time ago but for some reason, it did not come to his mind.
Even the bird sensed that something is wrong, but it could not, for whatever reason pinpoint, out what exactly was wrong. So it just ignored that feeling and continued with its torture. I loved seeing the look of despair on Leo's face as that gladens his heart.
But as it lowered its head to see that face before taking off some chunk of meat, what it met was a smile.
Seeing that smile, it became furious and started thinking of increasing Leo's pain by a million times. But he did not even have the chance to put this thought into action as he was suddenly thrown off balance by a force he did not know even know where it came from. But that force aimed to tip it off balance.
He knew that Leo has something to do with this, and This succeeded in angering him more.
What Leo did was simply activated the mana jet, forcing Mana out of his legs only. It was that force that threw the bird off balance.
Soon the scenario changed, the bird claw was still holding Leo's head tightly, but rather than it being on the top, it was Leo that is on the top.
Leo used his right hand, to grip the beast tightly, using gravity and the skill mana jet to his advantage, he forced the bird to start falling from up the sky.
Things were hard for him, especially when his left hand is currently useless as if it was still useful he would have used it to punch the hell out of the beast.
The beast was falling head first, the wings, legs then Leo, Leo wanted it to take the brunt and damage of falling from such a height.
He wanted to kill this thing the same way he killed the boss Raven, but this time around he is the one that would force it to fall, then increase the force at which the fell.
The Bird started panicking and trying hard and frantically to balance himself but it was all to no avail.
What made things hard for it is that its head is currently stronger at an unnatural angle, making things look different, which confused it.
But one thing it knew for sure was that it would be grievously injured, if not killed if it let itself fall like that without doing anything.
Leo continued to hold it tight knowing that his life depended on that fall, that if the raven falls successfully he would have a chance of making it alive, but if the raven successfully turns over and balances itself then it would be game over for him.
At this point, he was now thanking God or whosoever created gravity for his help. That he'd be dead right now if there is no gravity.
His left arm was now bones and no flesh, but it was showing ning red, Leo felt that this day is currently the worst in his life, his first experience of a life and death situation is so brutal...he is only at the LVL 7 Dungeon but have experienced something like this, Leo gulped at the thought of encountering a situation that is even more dangerous than his current situation.
Even though he knew that he will encounter even more dangerous things that would put his life in danger, he is still willing to continue this path, if it was any other person. The person would have swore not to enter the dungeon ever again, but Leo is different, all the promises he had made, the revenge that he will still do, and his will to survive and grow stronger were the thing that steeled his heart.
This world is no child's play, and the wish of every mortal is to be able to cultivate. It's a known fact that the lives of mortals are not in their hands, so to be in control of your own life you have to cultivate so that you will be strong enough to protect it when necessary.
For that, in the eyes of mortals, Cultivators were like gods that are in control of everything. So in this kind of world where the strong reign supreme, it's a crime to be weak. As you will have yourself to blame if you ever lose your life.
Leo knew his mother can't cultivate because her dantian is blocked by an unknown person, And even though he was not able to cultivate, now that he had found a path that would help him grow stronger, he will not let go for any reason. At least not until he is strong enough to protect his mother from harm that might befall them.
Leo thoughts about his life while focusing on the fall, he promised himself that he would not stop until this thing is dead.
Soon they reached the ground with a blinding speed as Leo tried his best to use Mana to propel down, the bird.
KWAAAAAAAABOOOM!!!
The sound of a thing tearing through air resounded in the dungeon, which was soon followed by the sound of something nearly similar to an explosion.
A huge crater was formed because of the impact of their collision. The crater was wide. It was even wider than the explosion caused by the boss beast. Dust filled the air making breathing a little bit harder for Leo as he breathed in both air and dust.
The neck and wing of the bird broke because of the force at which it crashed to the ground.
He Saw the HP of the bird go down to more than half a quarter of its original Hp. He saw the shocking skills of the bird and promised himself not to let this bird enter its berserk mode. With that in mind he didn't stop there, he started punching with Mana filled fist now that the bird is still in its weakened state. He punched and punched only to see the Hp of the bird reducing albeit at a snail's pace.
Leo punched at its injured wings making the HP of the beast reduced even faster, He did not dare stop. Even when his body screamed at him that it was devoid of strength.
Leo punched and punched. His face was filled with a determined expression.
Despite his strong front, he was panicking deep inside him.
'DIE!!!, DIE ALREADY!!!' He screamed in his head as he breathed haphazardly.
At Some Point, the red eyes of the bird shone even brighter, signaling its activation of the berserk skill.
Seeing that it had activated its Berserk skill Leo screamed like a lunatic.
"NO!!! I MUST SURVIVE!!!"
