A few minutes later, I managed to finish cultivating until I reached my bottleneck. I didn't get any breakthrough since it was hasty cultivation, however, I'm almost there. As I ntioned, I reached the bottleneck, which hopefully gave enough power to fight whatever it is that's flying in the skies.
Natalia finally reached the scene where Zenith and I were staying, watching the skies as the two mysterious dragon-like figures soared through the skies just behind the clouds. Occasional screeching could be heard coming from them, which made us feel a bit uneasy. In any case, it's better if they just stayed their distance. But I think that would be asking for too much since I could feel them getting nearer and nearer the longer we waited.
And then it appeared, one of the most powerful Mythical Beasts in the Middle Plane, the one and only Quetzalcoatl!
The three of us, no, the entire Sky Kingdom gazed in awe as the Quetzalcoatl passed a few feet above the Sky Kingdom, gracing us with its presence. Just like how I imagined it to be, the Quetzalcoatl has a span of a hundred or more ters and it looked more like a snake than a dragon. It had two huge wings on its back, just a few feet behind its bird-like head with feathers. Elegant is an understatent when describing a magnificent beast like him.
I could've sworn it snorted after making eye contact with . I'm not really sure but sohow, the Quetzalcoatl seed to have a connection with even though we've never actually t before.
After one single roar, the Quetzalcoatl unleashed bolts of lightning from its body, dissolving the darkened clouds that surrounded the entire Sky Kingdom. Cheers of joy erupted from everyone in the Sky Kingdom as the clouds parted, making way for the formidable Mythical Beast that is the Quetzalcoatl.
Our joy was short-lived, however, as we saw the two gigantic figures just behind the clouds.
The two gigantic figures were twice as big as the Quetzalcoatl and their figures almost resembled it as well... however, their body composition was drastically different. While the Quetzalcoatl had the most magnificent of a pelt, the figures behind the clouds were made out of rotten human bodies, and its sll must've been awful if soone were to go near it. I could see disgusting greenish liquid oozing out of its body as the human skin of its hide sagged and flapped due to how rotten it was. I would've thought that the atpile is the most disgusting and vile being to ever exist but after seeing these two gigantic figures who seed ot be using so sort of skill to keep them afloat, I changed my mind. They're way more hideous than the strangest of atpile Rabid Humans themselves.
"What in the Middle Plane is that thing?!" I exclaid.
Even Zenith had no idea what it was. Well, I'd just call them Flying atpile Rabid Humans or sothing. Calling them a copycat of the Quetzalcoatl is nothing short of disrespectful since the Quetzalcoatl is beautiful.
In any case, these Flying atpiles were the first ones to charge at the Quetzalcoatl. They opened their mouths, revealing a greenish liquid and a tongue that's made out from a sloppy mixture of the color of human tongue and liver. It was awful.
For a mont, the Quetzalcoatl hesitated to fight, probably because the Flying atpiles was so ugly that he didn't want any of them touching his magnificent coat. I sort of understand though. Even though I have a little bit of rabid human in , it took most of my courage to engage in combat with the atpiles, what more if it were the Flying atpiles?
"Screech!" The Quetzalcoatl said as a ball of lightning ford on its mouth. A split second later, it fired it off, hitting one of the Flying atpiles squarely on its mouth, which sent bolts of lightning flying to different directions. The explosion was so bright that I had to close my eyes for a few seconds and even then, I was more or less partially blind for a second or so.
However, to our surprise and dismay, the Flying atpiles were unaffected of the powerful attack, they just brushed it off as if it was nothing. In fact, they only seed slightly annoyed at the attack. With another disgusting screech coming out from their mouth, they charged at the Quetzalcoatl at terrifying speeds, trying to bite so of its flesh off.
Sensing the danger, the Quetzalcoatl tried to evacuate the area, but the Flying atpiles were suspiciously faster than him. In the end, the two of the Flying atpiles managed to catch up to the escaping Mythical Beast and bit him by the tail. The other Flying atpile started chewing off at the body of the Quetzalcoatl, slowly eating him alive as he howled in pain and frustration. He couldn't shake them off... and for so reason, they were easily overpowering the Quetzalcoatl.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
If it weren't for my previous knowledge about the Quetzalcoatl, I would've assud that he's just a weak Spirit Beast or sothing. But then again, the atpiles could already overpower a Settlent that housed a few Heavenly Plain Realm Cultivators... what more with the Flying atpiles?
Thinking about that, the worst-case scenario entered my mind as I imagined the Sky Kingdom falling to ruins as the Flying atpiles invade it. From what I can see, only the Quetzalcoatl is standing between the Sky Kingdom and the destructive Flying atpiles.
There was nothing to be said. I have to help the Quetzalcoatl no matter what!
I ran towards the open field where I was performing sophisticated artistry using my Fire Elent. From there, I looked up and stared at the Quetzalcoatl. I don't know how I'd help him but I did see a Skill that would help talk to it. It was a skill called 'Beast Language' and it would help talk to the Quetzalcoatl.
Then what I feared most started unfolding in front of the Quetzalcoatl, it has been infected by the Virus!
