Chapter 1174: Let You Die in an Artistic Way

A dark red blood moon hung high in the sky, dyeing the land in an eerie hue.

Five figures clad in silver robes, completely concealing themselves, stealthily approached the habitat of the Shining Flying Owl flock like specters.

They made no sound, as if melting into the moonlight and darkness.

Greedy and fierce cold glints flickered in the eyes of both them and their Beast.

The Shining Flying Owl flock nested among the lush, thick Sycamore-like trees.

The moonlight cast upon them, their golden feathers glimmering faintly.

“Quick battle, quick decision.”

“Yes.”

The silver-robed figures communicated silently, and under the command of their leader, the Beast of the five individuals initiated a surprise attack on the few Shining Flying Owl on night watch.

A Poison Bell Seed took root, and highly toxic spores drifted away with the night wind.

The energy fluctuation immediately alerted the Shining Flying Owl.

“Shining!”

The Shining Flying Owl on watch let out a sharp cry.

Almost all Shining Flying Owl woke up at this moment, fluttering their wings and taking flight.

The light and shadow of skills intertwined under the blood moon.

They were like clusters of light and shadow, circling and counterattacking in the air.

Some Flying Owl confronted the Beast, while others used their sharp talons to strike at the silver-robed figures.

Others protected the young Golden Feather Finch.

For a time, shouts of battle and cries intermingled, creating utter chaos.

“Lycanroc, use Stone Edge to seal the gap in the northeast corner!”

A voice-modulated electronic sound came from beneath the silver-robed leader’s metal mask.

The Beast Tamers behind him shot three explosive arrows.

The man with a purple barcode tattooed on his forehead spun the bone flute in his hand.

“Black Helga, cover with Dark Pulse!”

Two Lycanroc stomped their front paws on the icy ground, and jagged rock pillars erupted from the earth, forcing three Shining Flying Owl attempting to break through back into the encirclement.

Dark red energy rings condensed into a sphere between the wolves’ teeth, but were instantly cut into fragments by a sudden wind wall at the moment of launch.

The strongest among this Shining Flying Owl flock, a King-level Golden Shining Owl, hovered in the center of the flock, its irises swirling with galaxy-like light patterns, releasing skills to protect its flock.

“Stupid beast.”

The silver-robed leader raised his staff, inlaid with a Dark Stone, and a strange light fell upon the Darkrai at his feet.

That Darkrai, which was clearly only Shi-level, flashed with white light and actually underwent an exclusive evolution!

The silver-robed figure coldly ordered: “Black Hole Devour.”

Darkrai suddenly transformed into a fluid shadow.

A purplish-black vortex formed above the owl flock, and the downy feathers of the weak Golden Feather Finch began to fall uncontrollably.

“Gold!”

The little finches let out piercing cries.

“Shining!”

An elder Shining Flying Owl suddenly swooped down, its tail feathers bursting into myriad light thorns, like a comet streaking across the night sky.

Golden Feather Whirlwind!

“Boom—”

Golden Feather Swords raged like a storm, creating spiderweb-like cracks on the surface of the black hole created by Darkrai.

“Ying Shi Plan must not be obstructed!”

The leader’s staff trembled again, and several beams of light scattered, falling upon their Beast.

Just like that Darkrai from before, all the Beast infused with dark light underwent exclusive evolution.

Corviknight’s steel wings stirred up an electromagnetic storm, Scizor’s Bullet Punch shattered the ice, and Bewear, hugging a Hammer Arm, charged into the densest area of the owl flock.

The Golden Shining Owl, already covered in blood, suddenly let out a clear, long cry, and all adult Flying Owl received the command.

Even the heavily injured Flying Owl used their last ounce of strength to fly up, their tail feathers all lit up, detaching one by one from their bodies, and intertwining in mid-air to form a circular light wheel.

Someone among the silver-robed figures exclaimed:

“Damn! This flock of Golden Feather Finch can actually use a group combo skill? This is... Wind Meteor?!”

“Quick, defend!”

The bloody moonlight collapsed into a white hole within the light wheel, and countless crystal-like quills poured down from an alternate dimension.

“Protect Shield!”

The Dusknoir beside the silver-robed figure hastily deployed a Protect Shield, but it, along with the shield, vaporized the moment it came into contact with the light feathers.

“Use defensive items!”

Realizing that Dusknoir couldn't block the Wind Meteor, the silver-robed leader gritted his teeth and ordered the others to use the items in their hands.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The ground shook, and leaves rustled and fell.

“Black...”

“Dark!”

“...”

Although the Beast of the five silver-robed figures had their strength boosted by one major level through exclusive evolution due to the effect of the staff item.

But a combo skill used by dozens of Flying Owl together was no joke; even though those Beast resisted with all their might, several of them were still injured.

Including those five silver-robed Beast Tamers!

“Good, good, good! A mere Golden Feather Finch clan, you’ve truly impressed me!”

The silver-robed leader gripped the staff in his hand, making it creak!

The face beneath the mask must have been incredibly unsightly.

“Group combo skill? Interesting!”

He sneered coldly, his tone gloomy: “Too bad you can only use this kind of group combo skill once in a short period, right?”

“Although it’s a waste to use a Divine Staff bestowed by the Master on trash like you extraordinary beings!”

“But who made you make me so unhappy!”

“I want you to die with artistic flair!”

He sneered, “Dark Star Annihilation—!”

The staff exploded with a roar.

The next moment, those fragments transformed into beams of light and shot towards Darkrai and the other Beast.

Their bodies instantly became abnormally massive, muscles bulging like coiled dragons, and bones making cracking sounds as if they would burst through their skin.

Their originally smooth bodies were now covered in grotesque purple veins, which writhed wildly like twisted snakes across their forms, as if possessing a life of their own.

Whether it was their claws, teeth, feathers, or tails, astonishing changes occurred.

Their claws were incredibly sharp, glinting with cold light, as if they could easily tear through steel.

Their tails were thick and powerful, like steel whips, capable of easily shattering steel plates.

...

What was even more unsettling were their eyes; they weren't a hideous crimson, but a chilling, pitch-black void, without the slightest change in light or shadow.

Yet, boundless madness and evil could be seen within them.

It was as if their sanity had completely vanished!

At this moment, they had clearly completely deviated from the normal forms of their original species, as if contaminated by a mysterious force, becoming terrifying and horrifying existences.

Darkrai’s body, which had swollen to the size of a mountain, was covered in dark cocoons of varying shades, and thousands of crimson compound eyes opened on the surface of the cocoons.

“Sacrifice yourselves for the Eternal Night!”

The leader raised his right hand, a sinister, evil smile curving the corner of his mouth beneath the metal mask.

His chuunibyou-esque words spilled out freely.

The Flying Owl flock facing annihilation didn't understand, but for some inexplicable reason, they just felt like they were sick.

If Mingxi knew what they were feeling at that moment, she would definitely tell them:

“You’ve contracted a condition where you feel embarrassed for others, short for vicarious embarrassment.”
