The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods-Chapter 265: Battle In the Skies

While everyone was shocked by the sudden boost in Karsha’s points, Karsha was speeding through the sky, looking down at the vast, limitless forest below.

His massacre of the tree monsters had been brutal, but it was necessary. He needed not only the points but also the cores. Li Fei had already formed her wood spirit, and she needed much energy to grow it.

Just sucking the life force of ordinary trees and monsters wasn’t enough. She needed a lot of wood energy.

So even though what Karsha did might be considered genocide, the trees had attacked him first. Killing them was an act of self-defense.

The landscape below him blurred as he moved at incredible speed, his thoughts focused on the next steps.

However, just when he was making plans on where to land next, a red light flashed ahead of him making him dive sideways barely evading a piercing feather attack.

"What was that" Karsha shouted breaking into a cold sweat.

He turned toward the direction the attack came from and for a split second, his soul went to Yama realm and back.

"That’s one large motherfucker" A large, mythical bird-like monster adorned with vibrant blue feathers that shimmer with an ethereal glow appeared on the horizon, its wings extending several km wide.

The feathers on its wings and tail emit a faint luminescence. Its head is adorned with a crown of sharp, spiky feathers, giving it a regal yet menacing appearance.

The creature’s piercing orange eyes exude intelligence and a fierce intensity. Its talons are long, sharp, and black, making them capable of tearing through anything, even metals.

"I am out of my league here," Karsha muttered as he stared at the terrifying info of the monster he was meant to fight. The Azure Tempest Hawk’s stats were intimidating, especially its agility.

He knew he couldn’t outrun it with just his current abilities. He hadn’t yet qualified to learn the flying movement technique, so he had to rely on his agility and the enhanced flying capability of his Bone Wings.

Without a proper flying technique, he would just be offering himself to the monster.

"Looks like the skies are also not safe," Karsha thought as he unsheathed his swords, channeling fire essence into them. The monster hovered in the air, glaring at Karsha with a menacing gaze.

"Come at me, stupid," Karsha taunted, charging his wings with his lightning element and using the little control he had over his wind element.

He needed every advantage he could muster. But aside from that, he wants to see how he will fare in flying combat.

The Azure Tempest Hawk screeched, its cry echoing through the sky as it swooped down toward Karsha with incredible speed. Karsha braced himself, his mind focused and body ready.

As the hawk closed in, he dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding its razor-sharp talons.

With a swift motion, Karsha slashed his swords, releasing arcs of fire towards the hawk. The flames licked at the creature’s feathers, but it barely seemed to notice.

He used the Fire beam attack at ten percent capacity, but it barely scratched the surface of the monster’s wing.

It banked sharply, turning around for another pass. Seeing his attack ineffective, Karsha knew he had to be smarter, using his agility and elements to outmaneuver the beast. He can’t match it in agility and strength, so his huge brain and combat experience are the key.

He channeled more lightning into his wings, boosting his speed, and launched himself upwards, trying to gain the higher ground. The hawk followed, relentless in its pursuit. Karsha spun in mid-air, sending a burst of wind to disrupt its flight path.

The Rapid fire attacks rain down on the monster making it falter for a moment, giving Karsha a precious second to attack. He unleashed two powerful fire beam attacks aiming for the hawk’s wings.

The flames scorched its feathers, and the hawk screeched in pain. Seizing the opportunity, Karsha dove towards the ground, hoping to draw the creature closer.

The hawk followed, its anger evident in its fierce cries. As it closed the distance, Karsha abruptly halted and spun around, channeling a powerful surge of lightning through his wings and swords. With a mighty slash, he released a crackling wave of energy that struck the hawk head-on.

The lightning wave slammed into the Azure Tempest Hawk, sending sparks flying. The creature let out a deafening screech, but it didn’t go down.

Instead, it grew more enraged, its eyes burning with fury. Karsha knew he had to intensify his attacks. His intelligence is far superior to the monster, so all he is doing is leading it on.

With a swift motion, he switched to his ice element, his swords glowing with a frosty blue light. He dashed towards the hawk, slashing at its wings with icy strikes.

The hawk has fire affinity, so ice is the best counter. Each hit left trails of frost, slowing the hawk’s movements and making it harder for the creature to maneuver.

The hawk retaliated, its beak snapping and talons swiping at Karsha. He dodged nimbly, using his agility to stay out of reach. He combined his ice and fire elements, his left heaven-grade sword glowing blue and the Enigma sword glowing crimson red.

With a powerful leap, he brought both swords down in a cross-slash, releasing a burst of steam as the contrasting elements clashed against the hawk’s body.

The explosion of steam momentarily blinded the hawk, giving Karsha a chance to gain some distance. He took to the skies again, this time charging his swords with both fire and lightning. The blades crackled with energy, arcs of electricity dancing around the flames.

The hawk let out a screeching sound and its body shook. At once, it swung its wings in a wide arc sending streaks of fire toward Karsha.

Karsha’s eyes immediately flicked making lightning dance on them. His body started to fade in and out of existence as he maneuvered his way in the sky dodging the fire feather attacks.

"Ouch," Karsha shouted as a fire feather struck his shoulder drawing blood.

"This monster needs to die" Karsha’s eyes turned red as he focused on his right sword. More and more Fire essence poured into them making it glow brighter.

"Eat This" He dove up taking a few damages. Diving down, he slashed his sword sending a 50-meter-wide fire arc slicing through the air.

The hawk tried to evade but an unknown force made its movement slow down a bit. The razor-sharp fire arc struck its left feather inflicting a huge damage on it.

"Let’s finish this," Karsha muttered, eyes focused on the hawk. He charges his sword again making one crackle with lightning, the other fire.

He swooped down with incredible speed, slashing at the hawk with both swords. The combined elements created a devastating attack, the flames burning and the lightning shocking the hawk simultaneously. The creature roared in agony, its movements becoming more frantic and desperate.

Karsha didn’t let up. He continued his assault, alternating between ice, fire, and lightning. Each strike was precise, targeting the hawk’s weak points and wearing it down. The sky was filled with flashes of light and bursts of fire, a chaotic dance of elements.

"You want to run, leave your life behind." Karsha who is bleeding all over raged.

The hawk, now severely weakened, tried to escape. But Karsha was relentless. He charged his swords with one final, massive surge of energy, channeling a large chuck of fire essence into his soul weapon, ready for a devastating attack.

With a mighty swing, he released a powerful fire arc cutting the air with devastating speed and might.

The arc hit the hawk with full force, engulfing it in a blinding explosion of elemental fury. The creature let out one last, ear-piercing screech before it was overwhelmed by the attack.

Its body stopped moving midair and began to fall, crashing into the forest below with a thunderous impact. The collision shattered trees and scorched the ground, creating a massive crater where the hawk had landed.

Karsha landed nearby, his breath coming in ragged gasps. He glanced down at his right arm, which was dripping with blood.

Cracks had appeared on his skin, and it looked like his arm was about to give out. "That was dangerous," he muttered, wincing as he inspected his hand, which had nearly turned into a bloody pulp.

He had used about 50% of his fire essence for the final attack, pushing his powers to their limit. While his sword had managed to withstand the stress, his hand had not been so fortunate. The excessive energy discharge had nearly caused his arm to rupture.

His enhanced healing abilities immediately kicked in. His hands started to heal but he wouldn’t be able to use it for the next hour.

He quickly stored the body and core of the monster, "Hando will like this monster" He didn’t drain its blood. The system has already extracted the bloodline for his class and its blood essence which has begun tempering his body.

"Time to leave before an unknown monster shows up" Karsha still feeling the gaze on him took to the skies once more and started heading even deeper into the unending forest. Enjoy exclusive content from novelbuddy

After flying for a while, a mountain appeared on the horizon. He quickly dived toward it landing on it with a lightning thud.

His breath was ragged. His hands are still healing so he needed a place to heal. Immediately he landed on the mountain, he sensed some powerful Aura heading his way.

He quickly dash forward heading toward a cave he spots when flying down. A few seconds later, he entered the cave and sealed it with his earth element.
