Limits.

After a good rest and breakfast, I went back to the usual meeting place with Avians . After a while, a few Avians left the swarm and landed in front of me . The Avian I always spoke with, came to the front and asked "Are you ready?" . I said "Yes, but there will be some changes in the plan . I will go with you to the entrances and cause chaos . The Corpse Dogs are in hiding now, but as long as I"m there, they will have to send reinforcements" .

The Avians said "Alright, we will bring you to the cliff, you can then talk with the King of Avians about the details" . I nodded my head and one of the Avians grabbed me, then we flew towards the Vulture Cliffs . I was excited at the prospect of looking at the world from bird"s eye view again . Although I saw the same things as before, I could at least marvel at the sights in front of me .

Shortly after, we landed on top of the cliff and the King of Avians joined me . She asked "What is the plan?" . I explained "We are going to cause chaos near some entrances, but I will be there as well . I will act as decoy and lure them to the exit . You can take care of them later, while I get the Yellow Dust from the Entrance No . 2" . She nodded her head and asked "Which entrances should we cover?" .

I said "3 of the Entrances further away from the Entrance No . 2 . I need the Entrance No . 2 to be as empty as possible . When I have the Yellow Dust, the real fun will begin" . She nodded her head and said "Alright, then we will cover Entrances No . 1, 4 and 6" . She signaled with her hand and all Avians came down . When they landed, she said "We will attack Entrances No . 1, 4 and 6" . Then she pointed at one Avian and said "Carry him down the cliff to the Entrance No . 1" . She then said to the rest of the Avians "I will a.s.sign the groups . Each group will be responsible for specific entrance . On my sign, you will attack" . All the Avians gathered, replied "Yes" in unison .

The Avian responsible for transporting me to the Entrance No . 1, flew over and grabbed me . I would arrive there first but it wouldn"t be a problem . "This King of Avians is not stupid . I will lure them out first and then they will arrive, dealing a lot of damage . I can then move to the next location and so on" I thought . We arrived at the destination, the Avian dropped me off next to the entrance and rushed back, into the skies . "Time to slaughter!" I thought and rushed in .

The Corpse Dogs were present at the Entrance No . 1, but the numbers were abysmal . "At most 10 of them and normal ones at that" I thought and disposed of them very quickly . I then went inside . "Empty . . . We will see about that soon enough!" I thought and ran into the tunnel . I didn"t do it stealthy this time, I used a torch to see better .

Not even 5 minutes later, I could hear something in the depths of the tunnel . "Finally, they are coming" I thought and took out the Yellow Dust from my bag, I took out about a kilogram of that stuff and made a pile of it, in the tunnel . The Corpse Dogs arrived . I backed away a bit and when the time was right, I threw the torch in my hand onto the pile of Yellow Dust . Without looking back, I ran as fast as I could, towards the exit .

"BOOOOM!"

A loud explosion echoed behind me, while the blast of air pushed me forwards with incredible speed . "s.h.i.t!" was the only word that came to my mind at that time . I flew through the tunnel and shot out of it at great speed . I flew through the air, around 20 metres away from the ground . I stabilised myself in the air, while falling down . "This is going to hurt…" I thought and bent my body a bit to buffer the fall .

"Boom!"

"Argh… . My legs hurt like h.e.l.l! Fortunately, they are not broken!" I said to myself and fell to the ground . The impact was quite severe, I couldn"t stand up whatsoever due to pain . Although I was glad, that I didn"t break my legs . "This was dangerous, I shouldn"t repeat that again . I didn"t think that, only this much Yellow Dust, would create such an explosion . I was. .h.i.t only by the aftermath of that blast… I wonder what happened to those Corpse Dogs" I thought .

I took out some medicine from my bag and drank it . I also smeared it on both my legs . The entrance spewed out a lot of dust from what I saw, then the Avians arrived . They also noticed me and some landed next to me . One of them asked "What happened?" .

I said "Ugh… I didn"t expect for there to be such an explosion . The Corpse Dogs inside must be blasted to smithereens now . I think that more reinforcements should be arriving, as long as the tunnel didn"t collapse" . The Avian asked "Do you need help?" I said "Not now . I already applied medicine, so I should get better soon . We will wait and see . If the reinforcements come, Take me to the Entrance No . 2 . Otherwise, I will got to Entrance No . 4" .

The Avian nodded his head and flew off to relay the news . I then saw the King of Avians arriving . She landed next to me and asked "Wasn"t this a bit too reckless?" . I responded "Yes, a bit . There are positives too, now I know the strength of that Yellow Dust . One kilogram of that stuff, could cause such an explosion . There are couple of tonnes inside the Entrance No . 2" .

She became visibly shocked by that revelation and asked, with a hint of fear in her voice "Are you planning on using all of that?" . I said "No, this would blow up the whole region . I need to collect at least 50 kilograms of that stuff and place it around entrances . I will then blow them up from a safe location" . She seemed to calm down and said "Alright, as long as you don"t blow up the whole region, do what you have to" . She then looked into the distance and flew up, while saying "The reinforcements arrived . Judging by the number, there are at least 1000 of them . I need to get my Avians to this location" . I nodded my head and said "Go" .

The Avian, I related news to earlier, came by and asked "Are we going to Entrance No . 2?" . I nodded my head and said "Yes, just drop me off somewhere remote, I will get inside by myself" . The Avian nodded and grabbed me, then flew off .

We soon arrived next to the Entrance No . 2, and it was quite empty . I said "Wait somewhere near, I might need a ride back" . The Avian nodded and said "I will be in the skies . When I see you coming out, I will pick you up" . He then flew off and circled around, near the Entrance No . 2 .

"My legs are much better now . Fortunately, I had some Healing Essence at hand . Otherwise, the basic Vital Liquid would not be enough, to heal up my legs that fast . I approached the entrance with the bow in hand and started shooting . "I guess I"m in luck . All the Corpse Dogs guarding that entrance, are just the normal ones" I thought . I immediately entered the tunnel and made my way to the Yellow Dust deposit area .

I managed to get there no problem and the Yellow Dust was still there . Thanks to the diversion and that explosion earlier, all the eyes and ears were focused on the Entrance No . 1 . I took out a spare bag that I had . "I hope this will do" I thought and used the bag like a dust pan . I scooped, then scooped and scooped some more, until I got around 150 kilograms of that stuff . "This should be enough . I"m not going to blow up the Entrance No . 2, this might lead to an even bigger explosion… I don"t know how much that Avian can carry… . I will take more and hide it . When the war is over, Avians may want that stuff for themselves . I might not be able to get more later, better be safe than sorry" I thought .. . . . After a good rest and breakfast, I went back to the usual meeting place with Avians . After a while, a few Avians left the swarm and landed in front of me .
