“Cawwww!”
I let out a roar of fury.
How dare they pluck these precious head feathers I’d so carefully groomed!
“Shuuaak!”
Swungswung responded to my rage in kind.
His oddly pointed face poked out for a moment.
“…Crow! Your head!”
Black Wolf looked somehow embarrassed too.
“Huh? This is our chance… Ah, no. This is our chance-nyang…!”
The red cloak wore a scheming grin.
I could safely ignore that one.
“Ahaha! So satisfyingly…”
“Wait, Vega! Something’s wrong! The seal must’ve failed!”
They’d definitely sealed my feathers.
But not the ones with special traits—just some random head feathers.
Memories flashed by of me meticulously grooming them every day with Swungswung and Moona’s help.
How hard I’d worked to maintain them.
I’d sworn after that brutal fight with Bertolt that I’d never lose them again.
And these punks thought they could touch my head feathers?
“Grrrrr… yoooouuuu… shaaaallll… regreeeet thiiiissss…”
I knew my voice sounded awful.
Which was why I made it as creepy as possible.
So they could regret it nice and slow.
“What the hell was that?!”
“A sound straight from hell?!”
Dabih and Vega recoiled in horror at my voice.
Ice crystals gathered once more around Dabih and Vega.
Their plan had failed.
They took something precious, sure—but they hadn’t sealed my powers.
Even if the feathers were plucked, they weren’t gone.
If anything, I had more to wield offensively now.
I intercepted them with the plucked feathers.
Tinged with twilight, the feathers had hardened tougher than steel and sharpened beyond most weapons.
Snow White’s power was tricky, no doubt.
Even blocking the red cloak’s full-force strike showed it was no joke—and that was defense. Offensively? Devastating.
That’s why I was dead set on sniping them from range.
Boom!
The ice crystals exploded on impact with my feathers.
“Why didn’t the seal work?!”
“To underestimate His power… Well, He did order us to capture you alive. Guess we have to humor you a bit.”
“Things just got a tad trickier, my love?”
“Don’t worry, Vega. It’ll just take a little longer.”
Shhh…
A gentle rain fell.
It soon morphed into massive ice crystals—slow, but packed with power—as snowflakes filled the sky.
I’d faced brute-force foes, tricky mages.
Thought I’d seen every type.
But these guys? Different breed.
Not strength, speed, or skill.
Their weapon: indiscriminate AoE spam from witch-derived powers.
Dabih and Vega’s style made dodging pointless with endless wide-range barrages.
“Cawww!”
I gave the signal.
“Got it-nyang!”
Not just a caw—Black Wolf and the red cloak got the message.
They’d seen my stance.
Our last plan: me and Black Wolf pin, red cloak strikes.
Didn’t work.
That freaky ice protected them.
Truth be told, if she couldn’t pierce it, neither could I.
Her raw power outstripped mine.
And she’d swung her favorite weapon full-force? Blocked?
Physics wouldn’t cut it.
But that’s what felt off.
Ice is ice, no matter how tough.
Less “super defense” and more “special effect” made sense.
An all-purpose shield.
Plus massive AoE blanketing our zone.
Dabih and Vega moved in perfect offense-defense harmony.
Our strategy flopped.
“Caw!”
Time for a new one.
“Arise! You, you! And you too!”
The red cloak raised the dead.
Normally undead, but Gretel’s influence spawned harmless cookie people.
Her power clashed hard with Snow White’s.
Real undead? Maybe fine. But cookies? Moisture weakness.
Best they could hope: hold shape.
Still, she kept summoning.
“That won’t work on us.”
“Vega, no need to explain so nicely.”
“It’s fine, Dabih. They won’t survive this attack anyway.”
The slow-falling snowflakes began clumping.
Ten flakes to a snowflower.
Ten flowers to a snowball.
Ten snowballs to sharp weapons.
A sky painted with diverse armaments.
Fewer now, but still overwhelming—and condensed power meant one hit was lethal.
Crackle.
Amber feathers gathered light.
Flash!
Tri-colored beams pierced their eyes in an instant.
“Twice won’t work.”
Dabih and Vega’s eyes were fine.
In that split second, they’d donned ice-glass goggles.
Refracting the light to shield their sight.
Surprising, but no issue.
I’d flashed for the combo.
Prolonged flash enlarges shadows.
Black Wolf slipped into one, compressing it tighter and tighter.
To counter those falling ice weapons.
“Hmph, as if…”
Their eyes flicked to her shadow.
They’d fallen for it once—had to look.
And that was the moment.
“Unite! Workers of the world!”
Red cloak’s unity activated.
“Cooookie!”
Sodden cookie people merged into one spot.
From countless small ones to a single massive cookie giant.
Thanks to their moisture, it fused easier.
“Cawww!”
I charged straight in.
Not at Dabih and Vega—at the giant cookie.
“Blow that black thing away! …Away-nyang!”
Mana low? She switched speech mid-cast.
As ordered, her summon grabbed me and hurled me skyward.
“What’s that? Some pathetic combo?”
“Infighting, maybe?”
Looks like a sudden betrayal toss.
Maybe even an attack on me.
But it wasn’t.
“Caw, caw!”
I rocketed higher using the momentum.
“Tricks from above?!”
The sky brimmed with ice weapons.
Dabih and Vega manipulated them to block me, but solid shadows whipped in.
Black Wolf adapts Shadow Bind into a whip lash.
It swatted the incoming weapons; I soared uninterrupted to the heavens.
“…Threw me off for a sec, but what now? Trying to escape solo?”
Sudden skyward launch.
No clue what I was planning.
“Caaaaawww!”
I bellowed loud.
No mere shout—Command Roar power surged.
Command Roar
Physical abilities enhanced instantly.
Crunch.
My body powered up in a flash.
Command Roar’s like a day symbol.
My roots? Night-adjacent.
First time, opposites clashed—I blacked out.
But now? Fine.
Night crow handled it.
“Caaaaawww!”
Another roar.
Crunch!
Cockatrice-style: stack short-term bursts.
“Caaaaawww!”
Size ballooned further.
Now pterodactyl-huge.
This power spike? Massive backlash coming.
But I’d survive.
Night crow said it’s cool—wouldn’t kill me, right?
Dabih and Vega below looked stunned.
Sudden surge? Panic time.
Crack!
Ice wall from the red cloak’s defense rose.
No idea my attack, but block first.
At peak altitude, I tucked my head down.
Center of gravity pitched—headfirst dive.
Falcon-fold wings for max acceleration.
“Shung!”
Swungswung swaps one trait.
「Sturdy Skull」
One from crushing that skeleton.
For my safety.
And max damage.
This speed plus Doom Beak? One-shot potential.
But piercing Snow White’s shield? Dicey.
Didn’t seem pure physics.
Hence Sturdy Skull.
“Shu-oong!”
Swungswung sprayed cockatrice venom.
Not the original plan.
Even with poison immunity, it’d mar my feathers.
But head feathers gone now.
Yeah—no fear of loss.
Snow White’s witch? Twisted Snow White tale.
Her weakness: poison. Specifically, the poisoned apple.
Break the shield? Become the poisoned apple myself.
Vertical drop—acceleration building.
Cockatrice venom coats skull.
“Th-this mad…!”
“You’ll die too!”
Cockatrice-poisoned skull plummets toward them.
My speed.
Sturdy Skull.
And the pull of gravity—universal gravitation!
Crow secret art: Universal Gravitation Headbutt.
SHATTER!
Sturdy poisoned apple from the heavens obliterates Dabih and Vega’s barrier.
