《Re:Asura》Chapter 3: The Death Match in the Skies
Advertisement
[Authour's Note: Shit gets real here.....]
As the Three Legged Crow flew over countless mountains and seas, Cyrus was not even crying or struggling to get out of the Crow's grasp. Why? It was because Cyrus's soul had finally adjusted to his new body, and is now able to somewhat control his infant size body to a certain extent. He knew that if he managed to get out of the crow's grasp, he would certainly fall to his death.
After half an hour, the Crow was finally slowing down and was descending towards a small hill that was surrounded by cliffs on each end.
"Where the $#@% am I?" Cyrus wanted to curse out loud, but all that came out of his tiny mouth was "Waahhh!"
Cyrus did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The Three Legged Crow finally landed on a tree branch, before fluttering to its nest. In it, Cyrus could see a mini sized Three Legged Crow that was around 50cm in height! It was several times bigger than the average crow from Cyrus's world.
"Mother$#@%king God, was I reborn just to be bird food?"
"Caww! Caww!" the mini Three Legged Crow excitedly cried out when it saw it's mother. It had already opened it's beak wide toward its mother, seeming to beg its mother for food. The Three Legged Crow picked up Cyrus with its feet, and was about to drop the miserable child into it's child's beak when suddenly there was a loud bang!
"It came from the mountains" Cyrus immediately discerned the direction. Not just Cyrus, even the magical beasts in the vicinity were looking towards the mountains, bracing themselves for a potential threat.
"Varcas, you're too vicious!" Cyrus saw a red-robed man floating in the skies, shouting towards another figure that was too far away from Cyrus for him to see.

"Hmph, the strong devours the weak! If you want to kill me, then come and cut me down if you dare!" another powerful shout reverberated throughout the area. "Earth Colossus!"
The ground started rumbling, as if the earth below was moving towards a certain direction. The soil below the mysterious figure rose up, forming a skyscrape- sized sculpture made out of soil and stones. "Roooarrrrrrrrrrrr"
The red-robed man raised his red longsword and flew towards the mysterious figure at an insane speed, leaving a sonic boom in his wake!
Cyrus was earnestly watching everything, and was wondering if it was actually normal for humans in this world to be able to fly and wield such earth shaking magic.
The red-robed man clashed with the Earth Colossus, causing a huge crater on the Earth Colossus. However, the Earth Colossus was no pushover. Raising its moss covered right arm, it swung towards the red-robed man, causing huge gusts of wind with each movement.
"BANG!"
The red-robed man was thrown backwards and crashed into a nearby mountain, causing huge boulders to tumble down from its peak. In an instant, he had recovered from the shock and flew back into the skies, with an ugly look on his face.
"Varcas! Very well! If I have to die today, then I shall drag you down with me! Blade of Grand Destruction!" The red-robed man raised his palm towards Varcas, huge amounts of wind gathering towards it before igniting into a giant fireball that was half the size of the Earth Colossus. The giant fireball was furiously swirling, seeming to take a huge toll on the red-robed man as beads of sweat poured down his face.
"Fool! You're going to sacrifice your hundreds of years of training just to use a Devil Technique!" Varcas knew that the situation was getting dangerous, as even he would be in a predicament if he was hit with a force of that scale.He knew that using a Devil Technique would consume an enormous amount of life force, taking away years of the user's training and cultivation.

"I didn't expect him to know such a powerful Devil Technique. Better retreat for now" Varcas was about to turn and flee but the red-robed man had already expected that to happen. "Heh, I knew you were going to try to escape, so I set up a Five Pillar Formation beforehand! Not even a 9th level magical beast will be able to escape! You, a mere 8th level Arch Magus will surely die today!"
The fireball then transformed into a red giantsword, flying towards Varcas. In a split second, it had pierced through the Earth Colossus between the red-robed man and Varcas! "Spluurrttt!" blood gushed out of Varca's already limp body. He had died in an instant, not even realizing that the giantsword had already gone through his body.
All the magical beasts in the area held their breaths as Varca's dead body fell down to the ground. They did not dare to make a move, fearing that the red-robed man would take their lives on a whim.
"And may the souls of my clan rest in peace, for I have avenged you all..."
The red-robed man took one last look at his family's murderer, and was about to leave when he noticed something strange. A human baby. "Why is there a human baby in the middle of nowhere? Perhaps it was taken to be food for the magical beasts." The red-robed man flew down towards the Three Legged Crow's nest, and was about the reach out for the baby when the Three Legged Crow suddenly flew forward! It had thought that the red-robed man had wanted to take its child and not its food, hence it's survival instincts took control.
"Swooosh!"In an instant, the red-robed man's longsword had cleaved the Three Legged Crow in half! What's more, it was a higher level magical beast, somewhere around from the 7th or 8th level! When he saw the Three Legged Crow hatchling, he couldn't help but frown in surprise. "It's a Variant Magical Beast... My fortune today is good!" He picked up the Three Legged Crow hatchling who was still crying out for its food and the infant Cyrus who was staring at him with reverent eyes, before soaring back towards the horizon.
