As soon as they appeared on the mountain top, the bird noticed them and opened its eyes.
The giant purple bird stood up and spread its wings.
It let out a loud cry that startled the entire mountain as a thunderous roar echoed from the sky as if responding to her call.
"That's good." Theo smiled while summoning his spirit.
When the bird flapped its wings, a bow appeared on Theo's hand. As he expected, it seemed that he had to fight the bird on equal terms to see who was stronger.
The moment the bird took off, Theo leaped into the air while drawing his bow. Of course, he didn't forget to leave the comments for Mia so that she could respond to them.
*Cry!* The bird started emanating lightning all over its body. As soon as Theo was close enough, it flapped its wings, sending the lightning toward Theo in the form of a few lightning bolts.
Meanwhile, Theo aimed at the bird and released his arrow.

The lightning arrow suddenly split into the same number as the bird's strikes, neutralizing each other's lightning.
"!!!" The bird was surprised because it had never met its match during its stay on this mountain.
Meanwhile, Theo was actually apologizing. "I'm sorry if I ever get annoyed when someone attacks me for no reason. After all, I'm doing the same thing to this bird. I don't want to be a hypocrite, so it's fine to tell me if I ever get annoyed."
The bird didn't know what he was talking about and simply flew toward Theo. The latter summoned another arrow.
This time, the bird's body was releasing a thin translucent barrier that caused its appearance to be blurry as if it were bending the light.
Theo released his arrow toward the bird, but the latter actually flew straight at it.
To his surprise, the lightning actually scattered once it hit the translucent layer of the bird.
Hence, Theo changed his strategy. Right before the bird arrived, Theo shot another arrow. But this time, he summoned a portal in front of the arrow.
"!!!" The bird sensed the fluctuation of energy coming from beneath it. It hurriedly flew to the side to avoid it, but the lightning arrow was a step faster. The lightning sparked around the bird's side and blew the bird to the side.
The bird hurriedly regained its balance, but Theo had teleported above. The bird raised its head and saw Theo aiming straight at its wings.
In that instant, the bird flapped the wings down so that it didn't hit, but it also caused the bird to lose speed and altitude.
When that happened, it would be easy for Theo to change its direction and shoot the bird's body instead.
The lightning arrow turned into a dragon that opened its mouth, trying to crush the bird's body.
The bird spun its body mid-air and blocked the dragon with its wings.
*Roar!* The dragon let out a roar as if it were alive before biting the bird's wings and body, albeit the bird was also releasing its lightning to resist this ability.
While letting out a huge cry, the bird shattered the dragon and turned it back to its lightning form before scattering the residual power in the area.
The bird regained its balance and flew straight to Theo, using a speed that was much faster than before.
Theo tried to avoid it by creating another portal, but he soon noticed a faint fluctuation coming from behind.
When he glanced back, he saw a lightning strike heading toward him. It forced Theo to move to the side if he didn't want to get hit, but the lightning strike ended up hitting his portal, which broke it apart.
At the same time, the bird took this opportunity to fly straight toward Theo and strike him with its beak.
Theo parried it with the bow, but the bird's momentum was so massive that he ended up getting blown away.
The bird hurriedly waved its wings, creating two crescent-shaped lightning strikes toward Theo.
At first, he thought that this would be a fight between lightning, but it was clear that the bird had an overwhelming advantage against him.
After all, his lightning bow was known for summoning instead of firepower. So, Theo had no choice but to add his space element.
But as expected of a golden core stage beast who was close to the higher realm, it was stronger than he imagined, making Theo realize that he had to go all out for this one.
Theo lifted up his fingers, causing the distortion in front of him.
The two crescent-shaped lightning strikes suddenly curved toward each other and exploded. The lightning dispersed in all directions. The lightning shattered the grounds, destroyed the trees, and even cracked the mountain.
"…" Theo was quite surprised by its power. He formed another portal behind him so that he could return to the top of the mountain.
At the very least, the bird's focus had to remain on him so that Mia and Feng Xiaoling didn't encounter any danger.
As soon as he reached the top of the mountain, Theo shot the arrow to the ground.
The lightning instantly dispersed in all directions once it reached the soil. And from this residual power, he formed multiple lightning creatures that he once summoned in the secret realm.
"!!!" The bird raised its eyebrows after seeing the lightning creatures. It became even more shocking when these beasts attacked at the same time.
The bird flapped its wings while releasing the lightning strikes to hit all these creatures with an omni-directional attack.
However, the lightning creatures actually worked together. Half of them sacrificed themselves as a shield, allowing the other half to reach the bird.
The bird wanted to release its lightning, but it was a tad too late.
The lightning creatures surrounded the bird and bit it, trying to take it down. However, the bird simply crashed itself into the ground so that the impact could disperse the lightning.
But this action allowed Theo to get another opportunity to attack the bird.
He aimed carefully. While he intended to defeat the bird, he didn't intend to kill it. After all, everything started with his curiosity about fighting against all kinds of creatures.
That was why he aimed at the bird's wings instead of its head.
The lightning arrow hit the wings and turned into a giant lightning pillar. Normally, it would destroy or create a hole, but to his surprise, the bird's wings suddenly glowed. There wasn't a scratch on it as if the wings had absorbed all his lightning.
The bird stood up once again and spread its wings. The light shone brightly, illuminating the entire sky.
"!!!" Theo bent the space in front of him, but to his surprise, he could feel his entire body being electrocuted. If not for the fact that he had used his illusion to imagine himself being electrocuted hundreds if not thousands of times, he wouldn't be able to endure the pain.
"This bird knows a unique martial art. Interesting. The way it utilizes its lightning is very different from mine." Theo muttered. At the same time, he raised his bow toward the sky and shot his lightning arrow.
A golden light suddenly shone behind the black cloud as a giant bolt fell to the ground as if it were a punishment from the heavens.
*Cry!* The bird seemed to be scared by the lightning as if it were having a trauma facing it. It was heading straight to the lightning as if it were trying to challenge it. At the same time, the bird's cultivation soared.
"This is…" Feng Xiaoling gasped. "9-Star? No. It's still increasing… Don't tell me, the bird's true cultivation is the 10-Star Golden Core Stage. Wait a minute. The bird looked like it was trying to challenge the lightning bolt in fear. I think the bird challenged the tribulation to become a Nascent Soul but lost. Because of it, the bird's cultivation decreased, and it was still in the middle of recuperation."
Theo didn't know what Feng Xiaoling said, but he certainly felt that the bird was becoming even more powerful. It seemed that the bird did something to increase its strength.
Unfortunately, due to his ignorance, he continued sending this lightning bolt toward the bird.@@novelbin@@

While watching her dad, Mia got occupied by the comments and couldn't help but miss this moment as she was staring at the comments. "I've gotten used to taking things literally. I mean, my dad is the God of Tricksters. So, he is often talking in a roundabout way, which makes people misunderstand him.
"That's why… how do I say it? Defense mechanism? Anyway, I developed something like that to not get tricked as much. Even if I get tricked, I will just say that I'm listening to his words, literally." Mia made a wry smile, remembering a few times she got tricked.
"Anyway, I don't know why you want to be called Ash, but good for you. I don't know why but people love magma… I mean, even Dad has a magma dragon as his ally in the original world. But I think you're trying to imply something here, it's just… I don't know about it." Mia scratched the back of her head.
What do you think?
