9 THRONES

CHAPTER 135: THE QUEEN OF BIRDS

"Booooom!".

Along with Tardi's shout to start the fight, the sound of an explosion instantly sounded.

Tarion and Poris who were in the area next to Vann had already started the fight first, they instantly used their full strength to defeat their respective opponents.

Not only Tarion and Poris, those ranked 5th and 7th also started their fight.

"Since everyone has started, I will not hold back either!", Atrea said.

In front of everyone's eyes, the figure of Atrea turned into 10 birds all rushing towards Vann from various directions.

If others were to go against Atrea, they would definitely choose the golden crow among the 10 birds that appeared because the golden crow was the one who defeated the man in the previous rank 4.

But Vann did not target the golden crow at all as everyone thought, but rather he closed his eyes and sensed the surroundings.

When Vann was closing his eyes and feeling the flow of energy around using the hearing and taste from his skin, the Vermilion Bird hiding in Vann's body was shocked.

"This child, he was actually able to sense energy through his hearing? Is he human? No, even monsters that have special hearing abilities should not be able to sense energy through hearing, who exactly is this child?" the Vermilion Bird said hesitantly.

He was different from other people or spirits in the Wood Sword Academy, he had lived for a long time and saw various strong people.

But among all of them, not many people feel energy through hearing.

There were indeed some capable people, but they were all definitely great figures in the world of cultivators or some people born with special abilities to see energy or listen to it.

Why was the Vermilion Bird so amazed at Vann's unique abilities? If Vann can hear all the energy movements, then almost all the illusions will not trap Vann unless the user is strong enough. However Vann can sense and hear all traces of illusion, which means he should be able to sense through the energy he hears between the fake and the real as well.

Vann closed his eyes and began to feel waves of energy around him.

Although 10 birds have different energy waves, after all, their types are different, but there are 1 bird that attracts his attention because the energy in this bird is too large as human energy.

"There! The 5 Element Sword Technique stage 1, Water Wave!", Vann shouted slashing towards the flow of energy he felt.

When Vann stabbed towards the dove, everyone was shocked, they did not understand why Vann chose a bird that did not attract the slightest attention.

But when the wave of water will hit the dove, the figure of the bird immediately moves back and tries to avoid Vann's sword.

"Dash!".

Even though he tried to dodge, Vann's sword still managed to injure his right wing.

Along with the wounded dove, the figure of 9 other birds disappeared.

The dove kept its distance from Vann before his figure turned into Atrea, there was a wound on Atrea's right hand that looked like a wound from Vann's sword stab just now.

"How do you know that?", asked Atrea in disbelief, even Tarion who was ranked 1st was unable to realize his illusion that quickly.

"You may not believe it, but I happened to feel a different energy in the pigeon so I decided to attack it" said Vann who did not plan to keep anything secret, even though Atrea knew of Vann's ability, he still will not find a way to defeat Vann using the illusion again.

"You can feel it?", Atrea muttered doubtfully "As soon as it seems, you really have an interesting ability! But let's see, are you still able to figure out where I am after this?".

Slowly the figure of Atrea turned into a bird again, but the number this time was not 10 but hundreds of birds.

Hundreds of birds were flying around Vann, they were all Atrea-owned spirits so it would become even more difficult for Vann to find their energy difference since all of them had traces of Atrea energy as his spirit.

"I just developed this ability! At first I planned on using this ability to defeat Tarion, who thought I should use it against you! You may be honored to be defeated using my best abilities!", atrea's voice echoed around but it was very difficult to find where the voice had come from because Atrea's voice just now was like that of all the birds he had summoned.

Vann stared at the hundreds of birds that surrounded him while looking for an opportunity to attack Vann before raising his sword "If I can't find your true self among all the birds, then I just need to kill them all! Sword Technique 5 Element stage 2, Wind Blade!".

Vann slashed forward, hundreds of blades of wind formed around Vann and slashed at the swirling birds around him.

Whenever any birds tried to get close to Vann, they would be dropped by sharp blades of wind.

Seeing the number of birds around starting to decrease, a larger and ferocious golden crow from another spirit flew closer to Vann.

Taking advantage of the gap where Vann was busy facing the siege of the surrounding birds, the golden crow raised its claws and flew towards Vann, trying to stab Vann with its claws.

"But!".

Vann held back the prick of a golden crow's claw, but several other birds in the vicinity managed to slash Vann using their claws.

Although the wound on Vann's body was not very fatal, but there were many scratches that appeared on his body.

Seeing that his circumstances were not so good, Vann changed his attack movements "Switch Technique 5 Element stage 1 Change, Water Dragon Wave!".

The figure of a water dragon formed through Vann's sword, the dragon opened its mouth and a loud roar that made the entire arena tremble "Graaaaa!".

The dragon began to eat the birds around, the golden crow tried to stop the figure of the water dragon, but the water dragon easily hit the golden crow wearing its tail until it was thrown a few meters away.

Just as everyone thought Vann might be able to win, 2 10-meter-high eagles emerged from the sky.

2 eagles flew quickly towards the water dragon which continued to eat the birds around.

1 The eagle catches a water dragon using its claws while the other eagle bites using its beak.

Under the capture of 2 giant eagles, the water dragon tried to fight back to escape.

But the strength of the 2 eagles was not weak in the slightest, they continued to hold back the water dragon until the golden crow stood up again and helped along.

Under the capture of 2 eagles and 1 golden crow, the water dragon continued to be held back until it slowly disappeared.

After the disappearance of the water dragon, 2 eagles and 1 golden crow stared intently towards Vann.
