Chapter 455 Reaching The Dungeon's Second Floor, Meeting An Army Of Angry Birds!
Well, actually, yes, this what we needed, I wanted more EXP after all. Those moles delivered a nice amount of it and I even reached Level 15, but for my next evolution, I need to reach Level 80, so it is nothing particularly easy to pull out, I am 65 levels off reaching my next evolution after all! If I ever am planning on defeating those goddamn Vampires and whatever other dangerous threat might emerge in the future, I need to keep evolving and strengthening my allies.
And so, I must channel my innermost gamer and get grinding as much EXP as I can!
"CRAAAH!"
BAAAM!
An enormous, five-meter-tall, flightless bird with colorful feathers and a massive beak reached us in an instant by literally jumping here. Are you a frog or a bird?!
Its enormous legs were built with muscles, and its sharp claws broke through the ground below us, several trees flew away the moment the bird hit the ground, generating a powerful shockwave. The other birds stepped back due to the bird\'s intimidating presence.
"Ohoho, did we got the last boss already?" I wondered, looking at the monster in front of us.
-----
[Rainbow-Crowned Brawler Bird: Lv61] [Rank: B+++] [Status: Furious, Protecting its Territory]
A monstrously enormous Bird, the leader of a flock of Rainbow Brawler Birds. Due to the feathers growing atop of its head in the shape of a crown, it is recognized as the "Rainbow-Crowned", although this specimen is still young, as it lacks the total power of adulthood, which would easily bring this monster to A- Rank.
It is capable of delivering deadly kicks and beak attacks that can shake the earth and destroy anything on its path. Despite its big body and lack of wings, it can move swiftly and incredibly dexterously. It is ruthless and territorial and will fight anything that steps into its territory while its underlings will assist it.
Skills: [Brawling Master] [Kicking Arts] [Blazing Kick] [Fire Breath] [Flare Explosion] [Meteor Smash] [Catastrophic Beak Blow] [Beak Explosion Attack] [Intimidating Aura of the King]

"This guy\'s weaker than the Mole King?" I wondered.
"CRAAAAH!"
BAAAM!
The bird didn\'t even wait for us to analyze it any further, as its enormous claws hit the ground, making everything tremble, suddenly explosions of flames erupted one after the other, as hundreds of colorful birds and other birds joining the flock flew towards us.
"Shit, there\'s no time to talk, we have to fight!" Said Partner.
Partner readied her two spears as she imbued them with her Blood Aura. Her beautiful red eyes shone brightly as they unleashed a ray of curses, this was due to her [Cursed Evil Eyes].
This incredible ability granted Partner the power to lower her foe\'s stats by merely glaring at them through the infliction of Weakening Curses such as the [Curse of the Weak], [Curse of the Slow], [Curse of the Frail], and so on, a very useful Skill she had been leveling up ever since she became Lesser Vampire.
"[Scarlet Moon]!"
TRUUUUMMM…!
Partner started with a banger before all of us, she seemed to really want to have some action, as she conjured her [Scarlet Moon], the evolution of her [Darkness Bullet] Skill which allowed her to conjure an enormous sphere of darkness and blood, combining both of her primary elements and unleashing a devastating explosive attack by firing the scarlet sphere of darkness against her foes!
FLAAAASH!
The sole presence of the sphere of darkness and blood began to drain away the life of the weakest birds charging towards us in an instant, as they blood only intensified [Scarlet Blood]\'s power. The Crowned Bird detected the enormous power of the blow, as it quickly rushed forward, imbuing flames over its entire body and then its beak, which grew three times its original size, turning completely red as if it were boiling!
"DIE!" Partner said ruthlessly.
"CRAAAAAH!" The Rainbow Crowned Brawler Bird cried furiously, as its beak clashed against Partner\'s strongest magic attack!
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!
An enormous explosion ensued, consuming everything within the skies and completely emptying the sky from any clouds, the shockwaves alone killed a few dozen of flying birds nearby that didn\'t manage to run away in time, as everything turned red for a few seconds.
BAAAM!
Suddenly, amidst the smoke, the bird fell from the skies, reaching the ground.
It was… standing?!
"CRAAAHHH… CRAHHAH…" The bird seemed to be gasping for air, but it had survived. Its furious red eyes seemed completely filled with the conviction to fight even more.
"Oh, so it took my magic attack!" Laughed Partner. "Well, I\'ve never been good at fighting with magic anyways!"
"You think so?" Sighed Lucifer.
"You\'ve only enraged the bird more!" Emeraldine reprimanded Partner.
"Geh… I am just doing my best!" Partner cried, as I ended patting her head.
"Don\'t worry, let\'s take on them all together… I\'ve also got an army of my own after all!" I quickly enhanced my Undead troops and summoned my shadows amidst the Dark and Death Domain, enhancing my Undead\'s strength all while bringing them out.
There were still some surviving skeletons and zombies, alongside several other monsters, but the majority of my new troops were dozens if not almost a hundred Moles, some even enhanced with ice and lightning element, giving them a greater power.
"Now go!" I commanded them, as the Undead marched forward, clashing against the Brawling Birds, the Wind Falcons, and the Metallic Feather birds at once.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The sound of their fighting could be heard all around as I smiled, my loyal Frost Ghost emerged behind me, granting me the power of Ice…
"Let\'s see how far you can go little birds…"
