The Cerulean bird moved, its wings carving through the air with frightening speed. Erik barely had ti to reinforce his barriers before the creature's attack hit him-not with its full strength, but with enough force to make him understand the difference in power.
A wall of compressed air slamd into Erik.
The attack was like a freight train made of pure air—a roaring, howling mass of compressed air that created a thunderous sound as it tore through the sky, akin to a bomb exploding.
The noise was so loud that it hurt Erik and shook his whole body, and he could feel it rumbling through his bones despite wearing armor.
Even with the Absolute Castle brain crystal power at full strength, the impact sent him tumbling backward through the sky.
The force was so strong it felt like it was crushing him from all sides. He couldn't even breathe for a mont as the pressure squeezed his chest. He spun wildly through the air like a leaf in a storm, unable to tell which way was up or down.
His armor cracked but held together, drawing heavily on his mana reserves to repair itself. "SHIT!"
Erik's entire body trembled.
"It's even worse than I assud!"
Erik knew the Cerulean bird was strong, but not THIS strong. Absolute Castle resulted from rging many brain crystal powers, including two powers from barrier masters. In theory, it made little sense that with its mana output so powered up, the armor couldn't resist even this simple attack.
Yet that was exactly what had just happened, and that only had an explanation. The Cerulean Bird had massive amounts of mana.
Fear gripped Erik as this thought hit him. He felt small and helpless, like a child facing a giant. Back then, it had already been terrifying. Now, if the beast was really stronger, Erik realized with dread that it could kill him effortlessly if it wanted to.
Yet Erik felt the mana surrounding the creature and knew the Cerulean Bird was holding back, using a fraction of its strength. His blood ran cold.
Erik had to know how strong the beast really was. One of his parallel brains, the Hydra's heads, willed the system to show him the status. He wouldn't have been able to do that if it hadn't been for them. In fact, all the brains were wired against the creature. Two to defend himself, one to attack and bait, and one to study the beast and the battlefield below.
-[Analysis]—
Race: Caelestis Bellator
Physical Description: A giant blue bird-like thaid, so huge that a human is only as big as one of its claws. Its wings are so powerful as to create winds strong enough to damage buildings simply by using them to stay in the sky. It has so much mana that simply being the creature causes strange effects in the surrounding air. Despite its massive size, the creature moves with incredible precision and control. Its intelligent eyes and behavior suggest it's high compared to other thaids.
Brain Crystal Power:
Wind titan (X-X): The thaid has complete control over wind. (Error. Unable to compute the rank. Too many neural links to be classified.)

Erik shivered. He observed the beast's attributes, then went to the rank. There was nothing there. The only thing the system had been able to understand was that the creature was X- ranked on the Ferebitz and Jorm scale, but as for the Idor scale, the one that told humans how many neural links soone or sothing had, the system had been unable to classify it.
[Sorry! It has too many neural links! There is no scale that can rank it!]
But the attributes it had made it clear they were a lot.
[270!]
Erik finally caught himself in mid-air and regained control. The Cerulean bird's beating wings were creating air currents so strong that he even had trouble staying close to it. Not that it mattered, because the creature followed him whenever he unwillingly went.
[Trying to fight this thing head-on would be super risky! This bird's got way more neural links than anything we've ever seen in our records. Even with all your cool powers, it's like bringing a water gun to a tank battle!]
[Use Phantom Veil with Will of the Hydra to trick and confuse it. One head should be tasked to control the illusions and make them the best you can, while the others help you hide and
maybe do sneak attacks!]
[Create plant barriers between you using Verdant Architect. Big as the bird is, it'll have trouble moving through vegetation, and you can use it to hide! Just keep in mind its wind powers could blow the plants away.]
