The Vulture plunged down with deadly speed, its long, razor-sharp claws raking into Kai's shoulders as it hauled him into the sky, away from the prisoners. It was ready for its meal, But Kai Had another Idea saying, "I got you now, bitch," with a wide grin.

Without hesitation, Kai downed one of his flasks of crimson tears, Fueled by its effects, his body healed as he gripped the claws in his shoulders and pushed upward. He freed himself, and instead of falling, Kai latched onto the Vulture's claws and climbed his way up its body, The creature could feel its prey escaping from its grasp; it snapped its beak in an effort to catch him, but Kai was already a second step ahead. He struck back with a powerful punch directly to the Vulture's face.

The impact was staggering as The Vulture veered wildly, fighting to recover himself in the sky under the force of the blow. Kai did not relent, however, and continued his ascent even as he reached the back of the Vulture, his arms closed tight over the thing's neck as he sneered, "You ain't as strong as a wild beast, are you? Just a big, dumb bird that'll do anything I say from now on"

With that, he called upon his Estoc, plunging it around in the upper back of the Vulture would be. It cried in a sound filled with anguish and fear, and with that, Kai leaned in closer to it, whispering, "Kratos mode BABY!" shouted Kai, as the Vulture saw that it had no option and started reeling to the call of Kai. Twisting the Estoc right made the Vulture turn right, and twisting left to turned it to the left

"How does it feel being my personal Caelid Crow, you useless shit!" 

While Kai was trying to force the Vulture into co-operation, some of the guards below noticed him. "Hey, look! The prisoner's on top of the Vulture! Shoot him down!" one of them shouted.

Before they could make a move, Kai stood tall above them and pronounced, "Magic GlintBlade." Above Kai a small sword was created above him sending it towards the Guard piercing his guts! Then spammed another one and another one eventually killing the three guards.

"Now, move, move before more of them come!" said Kai, driving the Vulture down. Slowly, he gained full control as the bird finally submitted to his will

Knowing there was nothing but to follow, the Vulture had gotten underway as per Kai's guidance, descending towards the hole that would lead them to level 4. Upon entrance it became insanely hot. Grimacing in disgust, Kai was able to feel his skin searing, even though he had already prepared for the heat by crafting a Talisman from the new crafting system! "God damn it, I'm using the FlameDrake Talisman and I'm still feeling this much heat? How hot is this place?"

Vulture's wings started to catch on fire from the heat itself, and in a panic, the beast resisted once more. But Kai didn't put up with it. Forcefully he twisted Estoc and pushed the bird downward "Don't care if you turn into a roasted chicken, you're going down, stupid bird!"

When they were situated close enough to the ground, the Vulture finally caved into the heat and passed out in the middle of the flight. By now, it was too late for Kai to find out that since they no longer had the Vulture's wings, they were in free-fall. Luckily, they were near the ground. The Vulture crashed face-first, and Kai just used the body to soften his landing. He groaned as he straightened himself up, wincing. "God damn it, a rubber body sure made luffy's life easier, now i get it, this shit hurts!."

He finished another flask healing the damage he just got, before turning his attention to the screaming bird. Cold as ice, he drove Estoc into its skull, murmuring, "That's for all the people you've killed."

Kai pulled out his sword, seeing a notifications flash across his eyes

[You have gained 300 runes]

[You have gained 300 runes]

[You have gained 300 runes]

[You have gained 600 runes]

[You have gained Soul of a Minor Beast]

"Kai mused interestedly, 'Huh. Soul of a Minor Beast? I might actually be able to craft something with this. Kinda like what I did with the Basilisk's Feather"

It was then that he recalled making use of the Basilisk's Feather and the remaining 400 runes from last time to forge thfe FlameDrake Talisman, which granted him 15% fire resistance. He believed this to be the only thing allowing him to survive in such a fiery hellhole. "I doubt I could survive this place for long," he muttered. "I don't think I can last five minutes."

Kai opened his crafting menu, browsing through the list to something he needed. His eyes fell on something: a consumable that required a Minor Beast soul and 1,000 Runes. "God damn it, that's a lot of Runes, but exactly what I need."

He wasted no time crafting the consumable and he then brought it out from his inventory and thought "I got Six of them, that's good" he then immediately ate it, as he thought "God damn it, it's fucking disgusting, I suppose i should've expected this from something called Fireproof Pickled Liver"

The Flame Drake Talisman provided 15% resistance, while the Fireproof Pickled Liver added another 25% for about 10 minutes. "40% flame resistance, the firedrake gave me 2% extra, more resistance than in game as for the liver it gave me way more time as well" Kai muttered 

"Hot damn, it's still so hot! Which means I have around Two hours to leave this hellhole or I'm literally Cooked!" 

 

 

...

Sukoshiba Was in his office focused on his regular paper work when someone knocked at his door, quite aggressively and in a Hurry, hearing that, he spoke "You may enter"

As he said that,The two guards walked in, he recognized them immediately to be the two guards from the surveillance team, immediately then saluted him saying "Good Afternoon! Vice Chief Guard Sir! Sorry to interrupt but we have some important news to tell you"

Realizing what they meant, Sukoshiba joked "Any news about our resident Bedroom Bandit?" to which one of the guards nodded as he said "Yes sir….He was spotted in Level three and well…"

"Yes we already know that he's in level three, is that all you had to report?" asked Sukoshiba, angered at the guard's hesitation, the guard looked at his fellow guard and then back to Sukoshiba and said "Sir….He was in Level three, but he managed to go down to level four….He also Killed Three guards and a Pet Vulture in the process, it's presumed he's in level four, since the surveillance footage shows he went down the hole" 

As he listened to the report, Sukoshiba thought to himself 'This is getting out of hand, three dead guards isn't something I can cover up….I have to call in a favor….but I still don't understand this prisoner? Is he on a suicidal mission? Or does he not understand the layout of Impel Down? Does he perhaps think that by going down he could escape through the water? Even if he was a fisherman, we have ways to sense prisoners in the water already' he sighed as his train of thoughts was getting out of hand, he looked at the surveillance guards and said "Go back to your posts, I'll handle this now, My orders remain the same, do not inform anyone other than me about this" 

The two guards hesitated a bit, knowing that Magellan's punishments isn't something easy to handle, but so was Hanyabal's Punishment "Yes Sir!" they complied.

"Well… Well.. Well, Look who's here, Hanyabal's guard dog isn't it? How have you been Sukoshiba?" Looking at the imp that couldn't even reach his knees speak down to him, Sukoshiba was very annoyed, but he couldn't really show it, considering that the very same white suited imp was a higher rank guard than him, Chief Guard Saldeath

"Good to see you as well Chief Guard Saldeath Sir!" Said Sukoshiba as he saluted him whilst thinking 'I hate buttering up to him, but he's my chance of promotion, so I'll have to endure it for now'

"Well? Spit it out, I doubt you're here cause you missed me" said Saldeath sarcastically, as he awaited for Sukoshiba to speak "I'm here on orders by Vice Warden Hanyabal, he's requesting you to send a very small squad of Blugori's to handle a prisoner in level four, the prisoner in question was assigned to level two however, he managed to drop all the way down to level four, evading the guards and surveillance in process, he has killed a wild beast, and Three guards already" 

Saldeath narrowed his eyes at Sukoshiba's words as he spoke "A level two prisoner killed a Wild beast and three guards, yet you want me to send a very 'small squad'…..and let me guess? Chief Warden Magellan has no idea, Heh, this is quite interesting, fine, I'll do it, but let Hanyabal know, that this favor will cost him…"
