Leo looked at his skill, he only took a glance at it when a shadow was suddenly cast above him forcing him to look up with his tired eyes.

"Woah!" Leo shouted shocked by the size of what he saw, compared to all the other ravens he had fought some time ago, this one is on a whole new level.

The ones he fought were about half a meter tall, shorter than the chicken but stronger than them. It almost seemed like the little birds (chickens) choose size over strength while the ravens chooses strength over size.

The Raven he is looking at right now is about a meter and a half tall, with a strong, hard, and robust body. Something about its head is funny to Leo, to the extent that Leo decided to have a closer look at others to satisfy his curiosity.

Leo flew closer, but despite his brave action, he was still worried because of the beast. He knew the beast is here for him. And this thing wanted him dead through and through.

When he took a closer look, what he discovered was even more shocking.

The beast has three heads, all the heads acted as if they were different personalities altogether, it was as if three different people with different characters were wearing a dress at the same time.

Looking at the beast Leo was awed, but his admiration ended abruptly as one of the beast's heheadsurned swiftly to look at Leo.

It looked at Leo for a while before cackling, in both amusement and annoyance. It did not know how Leo was able to kill all of his descendants, but its eyes were telling it that Leo was weak.

its eyes were red but it had not yet activated its Berserk Skill, as red is the normal color of its eyes.

Seeing the glaring eyes, Leo felt that something is wrong before letting himself fall, not until he was close to the ground did he later steady himself so that he would be able to land properly.

Leo knew that if the beast chased him in the air, he would still have enough chance to maneuver dodge, and parry its attack as the air has more space. But on the ground almost everything is limited. His escape routes could be easily blocked making it easy for the bird to be able to kill him.

But despite that, he still chose land over air because he felt more comfortable on the land. He would be at ease and won't get freaked out too easily. The land was what he was made for, his legs are for walking not flying so he felt that even when the odds are all against him, he still have a higher chance of surviving on the land than you in the air, he better use land as he felt he did be more comfortable there.

What he didn't know is that the raven would scoop him down to carry him like prey.

Before he could reach the solid ground, two hard and sharp claws carried him.

The claws gripped his head tightly partially covering his face and eyes. But what disturbed Leo the most was the nauseating smell that assaulted them.

But he knew that his life is a grave danger right now. He didn't scream as that was just a waste of energy.

It was easy for the raven to do that as Leo like other humans are slim and could be called weightless.

The height difference between the two of them Is noticeable, the raven is tall and robust have wide wings. The length or span of its stretched wing when flying is more than two meters! 

Watching this scene from afar would be the same as watching a bald eagle carrying its fish.

Except that this is a black mutated raven, and the 'fish' is Leo.

Leo's heart is threatening to burst open from fear, his heart is currently beating as fast as...whatever.

His body is now full of sweat, he is sweating so hard and profusely that he could almost swear that his sweat could fill a ten-liter bottle.

All he could think of now is to escape, to survive this nightmare. never had his life been endangered to such an extent.

As he was panicking, he suddenly started feeling the raven's cold beak on his left arm. Before he could understand what was happening a chunk of flesh had been ripped off his arm.

"AAAARGH" The painful scream of a young man resounded in the 'beast' empty dungeon.

Blood immediately started pumping out of that place, and that action of the bird forced Leo to start thinking hard immediately, for the first time he decided to meditate without sitting in an acceptable position for meditating. Through mediating, he would be able to think of a solution. 

He was very scared right now. of course even the mightiest of the mighty would be scared if they ever found themselves in the same situation as Leo.

He knew why all this is happening, it is because of the death match, he can't run away from the beast because when he reaches a certain distance which is about sixty to seventy meters away from the beast, it would be that he is violating the rules of the death match and would end up getting killed.

He started regretting sending everything, despite the serious warning from his system and 'instinct' he choose the hard way, what even angering him right now is that even without activating its Berserk skill the raven is already strong enough to kill him. What if it activated its Berserk skill, wouldn't that be like overdoing things? This is what a person can call a 'one-sided' fight, Leo has almost no hope to escape from the brutal claws of this beast.

A rabbit of the land can't challenge a bird of the air, but that's what Leo did and he is currently facing the consequences.

His Blood, mixed with his sweat had given him something equivalent to what you might call a 'baptism'. he had been baptized red by his blood, the pain is too much for him to o endure, this pain is almost on par with the pain he felt during the time he awakened his system.

The pain is currently threatening to drive him crazy, it was making meditation a million times harder for Leo. But he can only think properly if he calmed his mind by meditating.
