Chapter 17: The Devil's Raven in the Miarko District
The thugs hadn't noticed the crow's existence yet, and they felt something strange when the crow spread its wings and cast a huge black shadow. The crow suddenly emerged from the darkness and scratched at the face of a thug. The thug let out a scream, and the crow's sharp paw prints were deeply engraved on his face, and blood flowed.
After a single blow, the crow quickly disappeared into the darkness and flapped its wings into the air.
The other thugs looked at the sky in horror, the crow no longer hidden, it swirled in the air, let out bursts of cries, and then, directly landed on the street lamp, no longer flying, twisting its neck, dark red eyes staring at the crowd below.
A thug scolded and pulled out a gun: "Damn, brutes dare to hurt people, Miarko is really a goddamn place, this bird can't have eaten dead people." ”
As he spoke, he shot at the crow not far away.
Luke's soul strength combined with the crow's excellent eyesight, he easily spotted the thug's move, and he didn't dodge without dodging, and directly blurred to let the bullet pass through his body.
The thug froze for a moment, thinking that he had missed the shot, and took aim carefully for a few seconds to see that the crow was still in place, and fired the bullet again.
Luke controls the Raven Void and easily dodges the thugs' gunfire.
The thug rubbed his eyes and looked at the others. The other thugs also looked dumbfounded.
The crow clung to the lamppost and stared at the thugs who had shot, spreading its slender beak and making a hoarse cry that filled the alley with an eerie aura.
Suddenly, the crow pounced on one of the thugs and pecked him in the eye, causing the thug to let out a scream and fall to the ground.
The other thugs were so frightened by the raven's ferocious attacks that they began to shoot in all directions into the sky, but the ravens were always able to dodge them easily. The figure of the crow flutters in the dark, sometimes appearing in reality, sometimes disappearing suddenly, leaving the thugs at a loss.
Fiana saw the opportunity and quickly fled the alley with her friends, running in a panic until she ran out of the Miarco district. They paused to catch their breath and looked back to see that the alley was out of sight, but there was still a smell of blood and terror in the air.
The two waited on the side of the road for a while, stopped a passing taxi, got into the car and returned to the school.
In the alley, the crow attack continues.
From time to time, it emits a piercing screeching sound that makes people tremble. Some of the thugs tried to escape, but the crows pursued faster and pounced on their heads or arms, causing them to scream for injury.
They huddled on the ground, wailing and pleading. However, Luke ignores them and continues to control the crows from attacking the gangsters who are trying to escape, and does not stop until they return to their original positions.
Slowly, the gangsters seemed to understand something, as long as they stayed where they were and didn't try to escape, they wouldn't be attacked, and they gradually quieted down, standing in place, standing with their heads down, occasionally quietly looking up in fear, and they could see the crow's blood-red eyes staring at them.
Luke gave the crows the command to watch over them and prevent them from leaving, and fell asleep in the car.
The thugs could only stand trembling and listen to the screams of the crows.
After the night, Luke did not sleep comfortably in the car, and when it was a little brighter, he shifted his perspective to the crows, who had not slept all night, they were afraid to sleep, they were afraid to close their eyes, and if they moved slightly, the crows would immediately pounce on them, without giving them any respite.
Seeing that the sky was already dark, Luke felt that the charge of the skill [Fear Crow] Fear Emotion had reached about 60%, so he recalled the crow, leaving the little thugs who had stood in fear all night to collapse in place.
Having mastered the fear code, Luke did the same, making several sorties, and it only took a week to collect almost all the fears, and an urban legend of a devil's crow from hell began to circulate among the gangs of the Miarko district.
Legend has it that crows from hell will wander the night sky in the Miarco district at midnight, randomly picking people who are still outdoors and biting and sucking their souls.
After another busy night, in the early hours of Saturday morning, Luke returned home like an old farmer who had just harvested a good harvest, with a smile and a flood of fear.
The fear required for the first upgrade of the [Dread Crow] skill was satisfied, and he returned to his bedroom and stood by the window. In the slightly whitening sky, a thin, muscular figure shot down and flew towards Luke. As he approached the window, his black figure flickered and faded, and as naturally as a fish through the water, it crossed the glass and stood on top of Luke's half-outstretched forearm.
For the first upgrade option of [Dreaded Raven], Luke has already decided in his heart. If you level up, the result is obvious, with two reliable animal helpers. The quality of the upgrade is somewhat unknown, and it is not known how much enhancement an upgrade can bring.
But he has been upgraded more than once, so this time he still wants to see how much change the choice enhancement will bring to the crow, so as to determine the focus of the subsequent selection.
Luke focused his spirit on the [Dreaded Crow] leaf in the seedling of his ability, and poured out the fear he had gathered so far on the crow standing quietly on his arm through the psionic link.
With the rapid influx of powerful energy, the crow showed obvious discomfort, it stretched its wings to the limit, its sharp beak opened widely, as if it was letting out a silent roar, its feathers stood up one by one, and the dark breath rose one by one. Its body began to shift between blurring and solidifying, and as it continued to transform, it seemed to gradually expand and become stronger and more vigorous.
After a few minutes, the changes gradually slowed down, and the Dreaded Raven involuntarily blurred and solidified for the last time, and then the body was completely finalized, and a new [Dreaded Crow] appeared in front of Luke.
It is almost indistinguishable from the characteristics of a crow, but in appearance, it looks more like a horned eagle, it is about 80 centimeters long, and under Luke's command, it has extended its wings to the limit, and the wingspan has reached more than 2 meters.
Its body was no longer as thin as a normal crow, but was covered with strong and well-developed muscles, and the feathers covering its body were the same pitch black, but much brighter than before, with an oily sheen, a strong beak and a pair of curved claws to show its ferocious attack.
Luke looked at the crow standing motionless on his arm with satisfaction, and stroked it with his right hand along the lines of the feather, feeling the wild and deep power in it, and said to it, "Henceforth, Halpier." Nighthawk Halpier. ”
