As my pulse of energy to read the large bird's status and do a full body scan of it with my all-seeing eye comes back, the massive creature shifts its gaze toward me.
I try to scan the armor standing on its back, but nothing comes back, before I attempt to push my senses further the hawk's trajectory shifts right toward me and I hear a static-filled voice enter my head while the hawk stares me down and speeds up.
"I just killed you. Pesky bug, I knew it wouldn't be that simple if the Dark One Ordered us to finish this job personally. You cannot live, I will be the cause of your demise."
Before the static message stops, I already sense over 20 blades of invisible wind flying my way in all directions creating a sphere of sharp mana blades closing in on me.
I can see how my body double got trapped in such an attack. Every blade of wind here is denser and stronger than the soul energy armor of the Ranked Up Colossal's final form.
Pure mana alone would be useless trying to stop an attack like this...
However, after my own recent rank up and increase in Qi capacity and efficiency, these slow-moving blades of wind are both visible and easily blockable from my line of sight.
I chuckle to myself and pull out my Wind Tyrant's Dagger Set from my item storage, separating the crimson blades imbued with wind magic into two parts and saturating them with Qi to the point where they begin to leak white hot energy with every fine movement I make.
"These kinds of attacks aren't even worth drawing my real sword... Bring it on..."
With a smile on my face, I begin gracefully dancing through the barrage of attacks, but use my Legendary Dagger Mastery along with Dual Wielding to watch two threads of intent guide my movements.
As the wind prison closes in, my blades break every slash at their weak points one by one, dancing through the sky toward the approaching hawk without slowing down my speed at all.
In less than a second, all 24 of its attacks disperse into nothing more than energy in the air, and there's a sparkling display of white Qi dissolving soul energy as it drips from my blades.
The Enormous Hawk's eyes sharpen, and I see the number 6 glow on its wing far brighter than before.
Then, the telepathy channel we were just linked to buzzes with static and cuts out as the bird speaks to the suit of armor on its back, but their words are a mystery to me.
The armor nods once, and jumps off the creature's back, floating in the air right where it jumped staying back while the monstrous bird dives toward me.
Another invisible sphere of wind magic attacks me from all around, but I perform the same graceful dance to dodge and disperse all of its incoming strikes.
The moment I do, the bird sends off another attack and it ends just the same.
The closer I get, the more wind blades it throws, but I just increase the speed of my dance in the sky, not even breaking a sweat.
Its eyes are larger than my entire head, and they burn bright orange while they track my every movement. At the speed that its pupils dart across the battlefield to track me, I'd assume it could throw far superior attacks than the ones it's using now.
Once I get within 50 meters of the monster, its intentions finally become clear while the static noise flows into my ear.
"Your precision with the blade is admirable, but I'm afraid no one's eyes are as precise as mine. I know all of your movements, and this is really the end. Any last words?"
