Chapter 199: Raw Disaster
Jason looked towards Raya to see just how much damage the attack had done, and Jason saw that there were large scratches along Raya’s body that would have been bleeding if she were a regular monster.
’They’re somewhere around the same power level as a Disaster Rank Red Gate Boss, but they were able to cause this much damage to a beast that’s stronger than an Eldritch Rank Orange Gate Boss? That’s like a B Rank making an A rank bleed with a single punch. They might be weaker than Raya, but they’re much smarter. Using their body to attack like that is freaking genius.’
Jason was undeniably impressed by the way the Falcons were fighting! The falcons knew that they weren’t strong enough to stand up to Raya, so they were using another method to even the odds! This was the first time Jason would think that a monster was actually smart! But even though the falcons were extremely resourceful, that didn’t mean that they would be able to cause trouble for Raya every time. They managed to catch Raya off guard the first time because she had never seen their attack before, but now that she knew what they were about to do, she was able to quickly charge in for her own attack!
Raya dashed to the side as the falcons began their new ascent, and she slammed her body into one of the falcons as it passed her! The falcon released a loud cry in anger as it tried to use its bladed wing to cut Raya, but Raya’s skin was so tough the blade only caused sparks to fly as they scratched along her adamantine armor!
Raya used her mandibles to grab the falcon’s wings and the falcon tried to get away by flapping its other wing roughly! The other falcons carried out another aerial attack as they flew down to attack Raya, but their attack was ignored this time since Raya knew they couldn’t hurt her! Raya held on tight to the falcon she had caught and she swung her head from side to side a few times before finally snapping her mandibles close and tearing the falcon’s wing apart! The falcon let out another cry in pain as blood flew across the air, but Raya didn’t allow it to rest as she grabbed it again and left a cut along its body that was large and deep enough to kill it!
The falcon’s cries died out, and Jason grinned as he heard Raya screech in victory!

Jason immediately sent a message to Raya and told her to fall back! He’d gotten the information he needed from the falcon, so they didn’t need to keep handling them one by one! Jason then put his hand out toward the falcon that had just been killed and called out:
"Resurrect!"
A pulse of mana surged through the region as Jason’s mana grabbed hold of the falcon’s soul, and all the other falcons stopped their attacks and watched in shock as their comrade’s soul was dragged out from its body! The resurrected falcon let out a loud cry that shook the sky, and a new notification popped up in Jason’s system tab!

Jason raised a brow at the new skill. Ranged weapons? Jason hadn’t seen the falcons use their blades for a ranged attack yet, so he was wondering why the system would tell him that he could use his own blade for a ranged attack. The only explanation for the skill would be that the falcons hadn’t shown all their abilities yet!
The falcons that had been attacking Raya to try and free their comrade were shocked when they saw Jason resurrecting it and they decided that this wasn’t a fight they wanted to be a part of! It didn’t matter how powerful or smart a creature was; seeing your enemy resurrect one of your allies from the dead was enough to put fear into the heart of anyone! The falcons all turned and began to try flying away! Raya let out a screech as she chased after them, and one of the falcons turned around sharply and flapped its wings harshly towards Raya!
Shink!
Three bladed feathers flew out from the falcon’s wings like arrows, and Raya had to quickly move out of the way to avoid being struck by the projectiles! Jason hummed when he saw this and gained a small grin as he realized that this was the skill the system had been talking about! So not only were the falcons good at melee battles, but they were also skilled at long-distance attacks! These had to be some of the best aerial fighters Jason had ever seen!
’Move out of the way, Raya!’
Jason sent a mental command to Raya and Raya quickly began to fly off to the side to give Jason room! Jason put his hand on Ragnar’s neck and ordered him to take out all the falcons! Ragnar roared into the air as he flapped his wings and blasted after the falcons! Ragnar was far faster than both Raya and the falcons, so he was able to catch up to them before long, and once he was close enough, he reared his head back and let loose a blast of raw disaster!
ROARRR!
The falcons looked back in shock as they felt the intense heat gaining on them and they weren’t able to even move out of the way before they were engulfed in the flames! Ragnar’s attack was far greater than what the iron-bladed falcons could withstand, so Jason wasn’t surprised when he saw their blackened and scorched bodies falling out from the flames at the same time that a notification popped up in his system!

Jason quickly called on more of his subordinates and four Pawn Rank II Adamantine Ants flew out from his alternate Dimension and went to catch the falcons before they would fall too far! Jason put his mana out towards them and gave the command:
"Resurrect."
All four falcons pulsed with Jason’s mana before their souls were dragged out from their bodies and they released loud cries into the air as they spread their wings and began to fly around Jason excitedly.

The Adamantine Ants carried the bodies of the dead falcons towards one of the pillars that were floating in the sky and they put them down before they began ransacking the bodies to retrieve the crystals! Jason left them to work on that as he ordered Ragnar to take him to another pillar so that he could go through the memories of the falcons. Ragnar went to land on a platform at the side and all four falcons landed around Ragnar excitedly! Jason was still surprised by just how large they were. Even though Ragnar towered over them by a significant margin, they were still tall enough to make most of the other Pawn Rank IIs look small!
