"Sh*t!" Deep in the territory of the Blue Rage Monkeys, the battle against the main group and the Azure Berserk Monkeys is raging on.
Flare was fighting against a much larger Azure Berserk Monkey; its body is thicker than the rest; it is a mutant supernatural creature. What shocked everyone was that their opponent, who was supposed to be just a beast fighting only through their instincts, exhibits shocking mannerism in battle.
"Where is Bob!? We need as much help as we can!" Roars one of Cleo's aunts. What she had shouted resonated with everyone in her group.
Their plan is already destroyed; they did not expect that the number of Azure Berserk monkeys would be clearly greater than the reports given to them.
"Hold on! We can no longer retreat with those things hovering above us! We need to lead the battle into the forest so that we can have a chance to escape!" Orders Flare.
Flying above them were creatures that looked like birds, but at the same time, they had tails that had eyes, and their mouths were in their stomachs, as their heads seemed to only be decorations.
"To think that those wretched things would be here!" Roars one of the fighters of the main group. What makes them feel despair is that the Azure Berserk Monkey and the flying creatures seem to be working together.
ROAR! A loud dragon roar can be heard as everyone, including the genetic creatures, sees a flying yellow dragon with clouds around it. Flashes of lightning can be seen in the cute, fluffy clouds.
"What is that!? A reinforcement for the genetic creatures!?" said one of the fighters, who could sense an oppressive aura coming from the dragon.
"No! Look at it's head; it is that silent deaf guy that is under little Cleo! It is on our side!" Flare did not fall in despair seeing another opponent but assessed their situation calmly, which is why she is the first person to see Leon.
Meanwhile, Cleo was stunned; he did not expect to see such a situation. The main group is surrounded by both Azure Berserk Monkeys and Blue Rage Monkeys; additionally, some sort of strange creature can be seen flying above them, watching them intensely.
"Those things seem to be only at peak Advanced Grade; I think I can handle them." Since the Azure Berserk Monkeys are too strong for him and the Blue Rage Monkeys are only watching from the sidelines, he decided to target the strange flying beasts.
"No! Don't!" Screams Flare as she sees the yellow dragon flying towards the strange beasts; unfortunately, her shout came too late as the strange beasts opened their mouths and started emitting weird sounds.
'Oh no! ' Inwardly screams the fighters of the main group. The sound attacks of the strange creatures are considered one of the best sound-based attacks in the first realm. The reason for this is that it can affect even those at the supernatural grade.
"Die!" roars the dragon as he uses its tail to slap the nearest bird. Leon immediately leaps towards the creature and stabs it multiple times.
"What!" Even Flare was shocked; she did not expect that the yellow dragon would not be affected by the infamous shriek of the Fallen Owl.
The Fallen Owl is actually not a member of the owl family; in fact, they do not have any hint of a relationship between them other than their name, but it is still well known because of their powerful attacks capable of injuring even those that are much stronger than them.
What they do not know is that Cleo is immune to such a level of soul attack as he has the system to protect him from soul- and mind-based attacks.
The Fallen Owls become enraged after seeing one of their comrades die from Leon's hands, and all of them flap their wings hard.
They created a black wind blade that flies at incredible speed; they are too fast for Cleo to dodge; he can only grit his teeth and control the clouds to meet the attack; they had been gathering thunder energy all of this time; unfortunately, he had to use the accumulated energy that the clouds had absorbed from the remnants of the heavenly punishment to heal himself and his wounded foundation.
"What!?" He was shocked when he saw the wind blades easily passing through the clouds and hitting him. The clouds might look fluffy and cute, but they are extremely thick, and they are also covered with thunder energy. They should have been able to block at least some of the power of the wind blades.
He grunted as his scales broke and his muscles were ripped by the wind blades. Each additional hit caused him to be pushed back. Leon was unable to help as he had to make sure to kill the first fallen owl, causing him to fall from an incredible height.
"What kind of attack power do they have?" Cleo marvels as he is now covered in wounds; his expression becomes serious. He is still not an expert with his current form, but he still knows that he had to dodge the next barrage of attacks.
The Fallen Owls did not stop their attack and started to gather dark energy and wind force around them. Knowing that he had to stop them, Cleo opened his mouth and let out a loud roar.
"Idiot! Sound-based attacks are useless against them!" Roars Ganger as he fends off another from his opponent.
"F*ck you! I do not know! Besides! I am fighting against them all on my own just to give you guys a chance to escape! I am just an advanced genetic warrior! What did you expect!?" Cleo was pissed off as the injuries in his body only grow in number, his blood raining down from the sky.
"That voice! Little Cleo, is that you!?" Flare hurriedly asks.
"More running, least talking! I am unable to fight against these creatures for long!" He complains as he grows weaker with each wind blade.
"Everyone! Mission has failed! Don't hold back anymore! Use your transformation, Soul Blessings! I will guard the Azure Berserk Monkey King!" Flare shouts as she transforms into a large bird. The rest of the main group also transformed into their favourite Soul Blessings.
