“Why you!!”

[ Congratulations! You have acquired [ Gust ]! ]

“I don’t want to fight you for a long time wasting my time – that’s tiresome.” Allen smiled badly. He had still not fully recovered from his injuries and although he was confident he can still win against King Manaul but, it would certainly be a hard-pressed fight.

That would be tiring!

Allen then continued with a “Besides,” in a playful tone.

“… Too bad for you, you are not that important that the author will give you two or more chapters to be starred with. So die obediently!”

[ Congratulations! You have acquired [ Crown King of the Sky ]! ]

“Aaaahhhhh!!” King Manaul screamed as he desperately tried to break away from Allen’s binding. However, the moment Allen pulled out his hand, King Manaul’s body jerked and spat out a huge amount of blood.

[ Robbing Failed! ]

“Demon Smithing!” Allen grabbed King Manaul’s eagle head and suddenly, King Manaul let out a horrible scream that echoed through the entire place.

He tried to struggle desperately, however, no matter what he does, he felt as if his soul was being twisted and cut into pieces.

Allen’s narrowed. King Manaul’s struggling is canceling [ Demon Smithing ] and thus, Allen used, even more, magic power than he had imagined.

He was fighting even harder than Allen had expected.

Allen tightened the shadow bindings even stronger. He raised his hand and pointed his finger, drawing a symbol at King Manaul’s back.

A circle with an inverted star inside of it.

King Manaul suddenly felt his body felt weak as if his energy was being consumed at a rapid pace. His face flashed horror.

Is this really the end?! He thought.

From the beginning, he couldn’t fight back. He couldn’t even showcase his power.

Never did he have expected that he would be sneaked attacked and even more so… brutally.

With one sweep, his core was immediately robbed. How is that possible!?

Even now, if he used too much power, the magic power he was using to stay alive after being robbed by his core would, he would die instantly.

He had certainly been too complacent! Although he had known that his opponent would be a Monster monarch but he had never expected to be killed all of a sudden.

So unfortunate!! King Manaul felt his body getting weaker and weaker until he couldn’t muster any energy anymore.

His vision turned blank.

[ Congratulations! You have successfully smithed the King of Birds; Mid-Rook ranked Magical Beast: King Manaul! You have acquired, 9.12% Experience Points! ]

[ Congratulations! You have acquired, Legendary grade Manaul’s Wings! ]

[ Manaul’s Wings ( Legend ) – An artifact that will give the user an ability to fly.

Innate Skills: [ Wind Storm ] [ Feather Shot ] [ Blade Storm ] [ Cyclone ] ]

King Manaul’s body had successfully been transformed into a pair of eagle wings with metallic luster. As long as one placed this on their back, they would surely be able to use it.

“Good work~” As Allen was thinking of how to dispose of this wings since he didn’t really need it, Alkrasha, followed by Jayla came over.

Alkrasha was smiling at him. She would never think that what Allen did was cowardly.

This is what they call tactics~

Didn’t they say it already; All is fair in Love and War!

“I actually thought that we would still need to fight for a long time,”

Allen smirked. He then turned his gaze towards the battle happening in front of him. “I’m the type of person who the moment he saw a skip button, would immediately press it~” He playfully smiled while puffing his chest proudly.

A Birdman managed to break past the others and went diving towards Allen but before it could even close a few meters, a lightning from out of nowhere struck him. The Birdman gradually fall to the ground, smoking.

It has wings instead of arms and its appearance was deformed into something between bird and human.

Alan.

Monsters from the Tinguian folklore and myth.

They have wings for arms, which they use to fly, and skin as tough as carabao hide, and their fingers point backward from their wrists while their toes are at the back of their feet.

Allen thought. Most of the birdmen Sara and the others are fighting were actually Alan.

Allen shrugs and turned around, “Ladies first~”

Alkrasha and Jayla rolled their eyes and started walking towards the only building – a huge castle at the top of the largest tree in the flying island.

“Aileen, Sara, Mireya, Mayla, we’re going ahead!” Allen yelled softly.

“Okay, we’ll follow shortly!” Aileen stopped her and waved at Allen. Mireya and the others too showed their confirmation.

… …

… …

Allen gave Jayla the [ Manaul’s Wings ] and they flew towards the castle.

The moment they entered they were immediately attacked by dozens of monsters, most were the Bird people. However, they were easily dealt with.

The ones who invaded the Bird castle were not just ordinary people. With just a swing of a hand, all of the guards and monsters were immediately blown away.

The interior was actually a normal castle with a long corridor leading to the King’s Hall. However, the difference is that, long and big tree vines and roots run through the walls and floor and the ceiling was extremely high –over twenty meters tall or probably even more.

In the air, several huge cages similar to birdcages were hanging and inside it, there were many people as well as different kind of monsters.

The moment they saw Allen’s group they started screaming for help.

Thus, together with Jayla and Alkrasha, Allen started breaking the cages and freeing the people inside.

Some humans who saw Allen and Jayla immediately felt relieved while there was also those from the monster race that immediately backed away, afraid and scared.

Allen ignored the humans who were rejoicing and thanking him – though, they seem to be avoiding Alkrasha and some were even shooting hostility and fear.

Thus, Allen completely ignored them.

No matter who you are, those who treat her lover in a bad way –with reason or not, all of you might as well leave because Allen would never care about them!

There were some people asking and talking but aside from Jayla who was answering respectfully from time to time, Allen treats them as if they didn’t exist.

Together with Alkrasha, Allen walked towards the monster group.

“Don’t look at me as if I’m going to eat you,” Allen teased as soon as he was showered with expressions such as doubts, suspicions, and gratitude. “I might be a carnivore but I prefer women~”
