Heading to Hellgondo
After Marco and Alice begrudgingly took out Amira from the garbage can, Alice started talking.
Alice: Let us begin, Amira. Just face towards the egg, and repeat my words.
"...Listen, child of the holy bird who has yet to hatch in this world."
Amira: ...Listen, child of the holy bird who has yet to hatch in this world.
"One whose wings are free to soar over the sky…"
Amira: One whose wings are free to soar over the sky…
As they began to speak, Marco could feel the dark energy begin to fill the room.
"Now wake, Garuda!"
Amira: Now wake, Garuda!
As the two shout that order at the egg, a crack appeared from the egg, shooting forth dazzling light.
Marco covered his eyes with his left arm, while his right one stood on the hilt of Magnus at his right side. As the light fades, a giant monster was in the center of the room.
She had purple short hair, and a purple mane around her neck, covering her shoulders, instead of arms, she had a pair of white wings, like an harpy. And on top of her head there was a giant lavender feather.
At her back, there were 3 more pairs of white wings, her big boobs and abdomen were covered from green cloth-like fur. while from her pelvis and beyond, it was replaced from the body of a giant bird.
She had light gold feathers, and a pair of enormous wings stood at the sides of her bird part, under her, there were a pair of giant bird legs and sharp claws as big as Marco's head, and the last thing, behind her, there were many feather-like tails, which were as big as half of her body.
Marco was surprised from her size, even her human part was as big as a door, while the rest of her should be as big as a small truck.
Marco: *Whistle* This is a nice monster…
Alice: Hmm, it looks like she hatched without any trouble. She sees us as her parents, so she'll do anything we say.
Garuda Girl: Kuee!
She happily flapped her wings at Alice's words, as if she is already attached to her.
Marco: ...Are you sure that she will not kill me on the spot?
Alice: Don't worry about it, she is innocent…
Marco turned around, and found Amira smasming on the ground with her eyes rolled up.
Marco: ...This thing is just too stupid…
Amira: I-I'm fine, it was just a momentary seizure. More importantly… We have to name our child, Marco.
Marco: ...I'd rather shit in this novel than calling her "Our child", you shit.
Amira: My name is Amira, so… How about Arimaocram(AN: Marcoamira in opposite), the fearsome Adurag(AN: Garuda) of Love?
Marco: ...I need beer to deal with you…
Alice: How about Galda, a little variation on Garuda?
Marco: I would have suggested Diane, but whatever…
Alice: Diane… That's a nice name, I'm ok with it.
Marco: Alright, then you will be called Diane, it's alright?
Diane: Kweh! Kweh!
She seemed to be happy with it, so Marco started to think about other things, more important things… And apparently Amira sneaked away, better for him, he didn't want to deal with her anymore…
Marco: Let's go then…
Alice: Yeah… We're finally off to the northern continent.
Diane: Kweh!!
She happily cried out, and then extended her wings.
Alice: Alright, I'm getting on.
Alice gently jumped on top of Diane's back, and Marco followed her, then he fixed his clothes and sheath, before grabbing on Diane's feathers.
Marco: Alright, let's head to Hellgondo.
Diane: …
Marco: …
Diane: …
Alice: Diane, take me to Hellgondo.
Diane: Kue!
She flapped her wings at Alice's words, and started flying.
Marco: Oh, fuck off…
After that, Diane casually broke the ceiling, and flew on the sky, Marco lowered his body on Diane's feathered body to decrease the resistance of the air on his body, he looked around, and his eyes widened from stupor.
Marco: ...Wow…
In front of him there was the entire ocean, and the clear sky over his head, the sun was slowly going down on the horizon, turning the sky a bit orange-colored.
Alice: Nice view, heh?
Marco: You don't have idea…
Some time passed, and it was dusk, Marco could see the other continent from where he currently was. Huge mountains rings the shore, seemingly piercing right into the clouds themselves.
Marco: Well, here I come…
Marco noticed a black dot on the sky, and narrowed his eyes, but he still couldn't see what it was, but he had an idea…
Marco: 'A Wyvern…'
Then a Wyvern Girl appeared, she looked just like a Dragonkin, humanoid form, grey scales on her arms, shoulders, back, tail, and legs, she had a pair of knife ears covered in scales too, a set of two pointed small horns on her head, short orange hair, and a pair of wings attached on her arms.
Wyvern: It can't be… A Hero riding on top of a Garuda Girl?
Marco: Nope, I'm just a traveler.
Wyvern: It isn't that important… I'm an air defense soldier of the Monster Lord! If you want to get to Hellgondo, you'll have to get past me first! You can't defeat me when we're in the air! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!
Marco: Hoho…
Marco's hand came on the hilt of Magnus, and slowly unsheathed it out, after doing that, the Wyvern swung her arms and created a wing blade to Marco, he just covered his sword with Sylph and Salamander's powers, and then swung it at the wind blade.
A beam-like attack came out, the fire continued to spin around itself as if it was a drill and completely covered the Wyvern, overpowering her attack too.
When the attack ended, the Wyvern came out from the flames with many black spots that were releasing smoke and her face was in pain.
Wyvern: Tch…
Marco: 'Time to try the other one… System, activate Angelic Aura.'
*Ding*
*Angelic Aura activated.*
Suddenly, Marco was surrounded from a pure white aura…
*Warning: Due to Host great compatibility with Angelic Aura, he gets the knowledge of the following techniques: Daystar, Ninefold Rakshasa, Flash Kill, Heavenly Demon Revival, Fallen Angel Dance."
Marco: 'Huh… It must be because I was born from Lucifina, who was a Seraph… Even though I don't have anymore Angel Blood in my body… System, what are the consequences of using holy skills?'
*Ding*
*Normally your body would be corrupted and decay, however those skills are weaker because you miss the Angel's Bloodline, System suggests Host to use the Nine Tailed Chakra Gates in combination with the Holy Skills to bring their fullest potential and without side effects.*
Marco: 'Good…'
Then Marco took a certain stance, used Chakra Gate, and waited for the Wyvern, who suddenly decided to fly to Marco to tackle him.
Marco: 'Daystar…'
Suddenly, Marco was in front of the Wyvern, who reached the border of Diane's body and Marco's range, surprising her.
She was unable to stop herself, and Marco used the momentum to strike her three times with his sword, the strikes easily pierced her skin, leaving 3 big cuts where her skin was already burned a bit.
She glowed, and was sealed into the form of a winged lizard.
Marco sighed in relief because it looks like his attacks worked, it seems that if he isn't using at least the Chakra Gate, the holy skills would be at least 50% weaker, not counting the Gate's boost too, he sheathed his sword and said.
Marco: Alright, Diane, let's land.
Diane: …
Marco: Oh fuck you too!
Alice: Diane, let's land.
Diane: Kweh!
Diane begins to head towards the ground as soon as Alice told her to.
