A week later Debauchery returned with a small fist-sized bird, it was locked under so many locks and spells that Yunan almost thought it was the most dangerous thing in the world. The bird looked sad and indignant while Debauchery looked haggard as if they went through a war, the whole lot of them were on odds and that brought a smile to Yunan and the rest.The first thing happened was the girls taking away the caged bird and running away with it from the clutches of Debauchery, taking Sapphira with them as the translator between species, meanwhile, Debauchery went to take a relaxing few hours.
Yunan decided not to interfere with the story and headed to the 46th floor, where he would fight his way through groups of vultures that had the cunning and the aerial advantage, as well as having their cries debuff Yunan and buff each other, the debuffs stacked while the buffs did not. Facing this kind of opponent Yunan had to strategize and plan for each fight alone, he also had to take in the various debuffs and buff himself accordingly, thankfully he has just gained the stacking buff ability and for now, he could stack 10 buffs at the same time.
To fight these vultures Yunan created earth golems and made them shoot projectiles at the vulture to add in a factor of variables to help reduce the pressure from the aerial fight, as for Yunan himself he decided to go with teleportation and then paralysis, grounding the big birds for easier takedown or let the golems deal with them if he was not predisposed to deal with the fallen ones before they could shake the paralysis.
Yunan chose to go for a paralysis spell instead of poison because vulture has naturally strong immune systems since they survive as carrion animals and feed only on dead bodies, some are rotten and poisonous, or even ridden with sickness. If that high immunity was transferred to the monster vulture and it got strengthened then the use of biological warfare was the wrong choice to take in this fight.
Meanwhile back in the portable home, the little bird was pouring out its indignations towards Debauchery party to the girls through Sapphira, the girls had tears filling their eyes and understanding written on their faces, they too promised the bird to help it take revenge on Debauchery. So after it promised to behave when it was with the girls and only attack when told to, the girls let the little bird out of its cage and it uttered a very beautiful "finally free" cry.
As for Debauchery they did not know their newest nemesis has escaped its bounds and now had allies to back it up too, they just took their time relaxing in the baths. The relaxing moment only lasted until dinner time when Yunan returned home. Since Yunan has been killing birds all day long, he was rather conditioned to preparing his mana on the sight of feathers and ramping up his killing intent, which offended the little bird who was sitting on Sapphira"s head.
Their first meeting went wrong because Sapphira, as the chosen one, brought the little bird into the baths to convince Yunan to help it and the girls to play a good prank on Debauchery, and since Yunan bared his fangs immediately at the sight of feathers, the little proud bird was immediately infuriated and refused to cooperate. Until Yunan told it "you better behave in my home, otherwise I will have you in a cage so small you will forget how to flap your wings".
Lets just say Yunan had to buff himself at 1000% a few times to make his aura threatening enough, naturally the effective strength he could draw out can not surpa.s.s his Const.i.tution even of his numbers said otherwise, the trick with the aura was enough to frighten the little bird simply because birds are more susceptible to believe the strength of the aura, rather than believe in the power of the strike, bolder creatures would resist a bit more until they take a punch equivalent to the aura.
After some negotiation, the bird finally agreed to take Yunan as it"s master for the time being, but only until he dealt with Debauchery and then it must be returned to its floor. During dinner time Yunan introduced his new pet successfully to Debauchery, and while they were lamenting his good luck, for the first time, he activated his own luck and made it so that Debauchery would face a string of unfortunate events, he lost enough luck to return from G.o.dly luck to very good luck in that moment.
Debauchery trouble only started after dinner, with Fae breaking her nose after a rather gentle b.u.mp when Dustan was trying to get past her and find the aquarium, the first thought that hit everyone"s minds was "that was not right", but Fae had a completely different thought " you broke my beautiful nose you @#$_&$#@@@$__&_$##@__&" the string of profanity that escaped the succulent lips would have made adults cringe and shiver in disgust.
Fae didn"t stop there, she proceeded to have a full power fist fight with Dustan who somehow managed to spit out a mouthful of blood and broken teeth into Balin"s new groomed beard. In his disbelieving retreat, Balin grabbed onto Lucian"s tail causing him to sink his claws into Leader while pushing her away from the way of the retreating Balin, that in turn led to Bai who was coming out into the garden to receive a face full of lykan posterior.
By now, Leader was calmly dressing minor wounds, Balin and Fae were ganging up on Dustan, all three of them b.l.o.o.d.y and bruised while Lucian and Bai were engaged in a wrestling match and were rolling around the garden, the bird looked proud of Yunan for a moment before flying out from his shoulder and started throwing some solid fruits at the fighting gang.
Leader was about to jump on Lucian and give him a piece of her mind or fist or both but stopped suddenly when she got an apple to the back of the head, she stood still for a few seconds her mind gears visibly working on overdrive, before she commanded "HALT" with a tone that gave Yunan a shudder. Thankfully he was the only one aware of how he would prank Debauchery and therefore the others could not lie about it, on the other hand, he needs to be very careful and make considerate answers, he after all already had the intention to hide information from Leader if she questioned him.
