Chapter 204: The Bird and The Dragon II
The Skyking let out a high-pitched cry that made Jason’s ears ring from how loud it was, and Jason felt his lips splitting into a grin as he took in the magnificent creature. It would definitely be a good addition to his Legion. The falcon turned to Jason for a second and tilted its head in hostility, but Jason just pointed towards Ragnar calmly to tell the falcon to focus. I’m not the one you’re here for. The skyking let out a hostile cry at Jason before it turned back toward Ragnar, and it was immediately blindsided by a tail swipe!
SLAM!
Ragnar’s tail slapped the falcon across the face, and the falcon released another cry as it crashed to the ground. Ragnar roared as it prepared to slash the falcon across its body, but the falcon quickly sent mana towards its feathers and all of them hardened until they were thousands of times tougher than steel!
Clang!
Ragnar’s claw struck the falcon’s skin and sparks flew through the air! The falcon spread its wings and beat them roughly to help it rise back to its feet, and Ragnar moved calmly around the falcon while watching it to see what it would do! The falcon shot its wings toward Ragnar and twenty large Iron-Blade feathers flew out like arrows to try and skewer Ragnar, but Ragnar simply put his wing in the path of the blades and another metallic sound echoed through the air as they were easily deflected!
Ragnar pulled his wing back and saw that the falcon was trying to prepare another blade attack! He reared his head back and sucked in a massive gust of air, and the falcon could only watch in pure shock as Ragnar shot out a blast of fire toward it! The falcon immediately put both of its wings in front of it and sent all its mana towards the wings to make them even stronger than before! The wings formed a tough metallic shield to protect the falcon as Ragnar’s flames washed over it!
BOOM!
Ragnar kept his flames up for a few seconds until he finally pulled back to see how much damage he had caused, and Jason hummed from behind them as the smoke cleared to show that the falcon had suffered some major injuries. The falcon’s wings that had once been lustrous and clean were now blackened and bloody. There were serious burns all along its body from the heat of Ragnar’s flames, and the falcon itself seemed to realize just how much damage Ragnar was able to do with that one attack!
Jason looked into the falcon’s eyes and felt a smile appear on his face when he saw the first shadow of fear appear there! The falcon was slowly realizing that it was seriously outclassed! The falcon spread its wings out and flapped them to rise into the air! The power difference between them was too much, and it knew it couldn’t face Ragnar head-on, so it needed to regroup and figure out another plan of attack! The skyking was going to fly to a safe area, but Ragnar was not going to let that happen!
Ragnar roared as he took off after the falcon! The falcon was faster than Ragnar in the air, but the wounds it had suffered prevented it from being able to gain its top speed quickly enough, so it was easy for Ragnar to grab it by the foot and drag it down in one intense heave!
BOOM!
The falcon slammed into the ground and Ragnar landed on top of it! Ragnar placed its foot on the falcon’s body dominantly and when the falcon tried to raise its head, Ragnar slammed his other foot on the falcon’s head and pushed it back down! The falcon released a cry as it began thinking of how to get away from Ragnar, but Ragnar didn’t give it any chance to come up with a n plan as he drew in another gust of wind and unleashed fire upon it.
ROARRR!!
The flames burned with an intense ferocity that could be felt for hundreds of meters in every direction! Jason even had to put a hand up to his face to block out the heat waves that were washing over him! It was freaking hot! The flames burned for almost ten seconds before Jason finally heard the notification sound in his system.

Once Jason got the notification, Ragnar stepped away from the dead body of the falcon and released a loud roar that sent ripples traveling through the air! Jason stood while dusting his trousers off and Ragnar immediately turned to him and ran over excitedly! Jason put his hands out and planted his feet as he easily caught the charging dragon! His feet dug into the ground and slid back for a few meters before he stopped and laughed as Ragnar nozzled him with his nose.
"Great job, boy."
Ragnar released a huff of hot air right into Jason’s face and if not for his high durability, Jason knew that it would have been enough to scorch the hell out of him. But since Jason was so strong, he just laughed at the increased heat before rubbing Ragnar under his chin as a reward for his hard work! Jason looked up at Ragnar’s tab and he gained a small smile.

Ragnar’s hierarchy rank had progressed significantly from the fight, and at this rate, Jason knew that it would only take another two or three high-level monsters to make Ragnar become a Rook Rank III! Ragnar was going to be very important in the fight against the Lich later, so for now Jason was going to put a lot of effort into making sure he grows as quickly as possible.
Jason finally turned away from Ragnar and allowed his vision to travel toward Raya and Riyala’s fight.

Raya and the rest of the adamantine ants were still going strong against all the hunters who were returning to the nest. Jason watched as the adamantine ants split up each of the hunters and began to attack them individually. Raya and the other two Rook Rank I adamantine ants were the main attacking force of the team, so the lower-ranked ants would draw the falcons toward one of the rooks and then they would allow the rooks to kill them before they took the corpse over to a platform to pile them together! They had already taken out more than fifty hunters like this and Jason knew that it wouldn’t be long before they also killed the rest.
Jason looked over at Riyala and watched her actions for a few seconds. Riyala was not used to being in the middle of a battle, and it showed from how nervous she was. She was trying her best to keep any attacking falcons away from Raya by shooting fire towards them and pushing them back, but her attacks were unsure and hesitant, almost like she was scared of hitting one of the Legion members in her attack.
’She’s too caring. Maybe she isn’t meant for the frontline. She would be more comfortable as a medic.’
