Chapter 481 Thunderbird

Thunderbird is a giant, six-winged, eagle-like bird.

This magical creature flies very fast, can create storms, sense danger, and control lightning to a certain extent. However, although it has mastered this powerful supernatural ability, the Thunderbird's huge size gives it super strength, so when hunting, most of them still use primitive physical means, that is, swooping from the air like an eagle, using sharp beaks and claws to attack animals on land.

In view of the fact that this magical creature that lives near the American continent has extremely strong destructive power and is not easy to be tamed, the International Federation of Magic has classified it into the xxxx-level magical creature sequence after some discussion, that is, dangerous/requires specialized knowledge/skilled wizards can only deal with magical creatures.

It is worth mentioning that this handsome and superb bird with outstanding combat ability is the object of worship of many wizards in the United States. The Magical Congress of the United States directly puts this creature on their emblem. The wizard school Ilvermorny in the United States has specially established the Thunderbird Academy. This Thunderbird Academy has many similar characteristics to Gryffindor Academy, such as they both prefer young wizards who like adventure. However, such

a huge fame has also brought disaster to the Thunderbird. Since the last century, magical creature hunters from all over the world have flocked to the American continent to hunt this epic creature to obtain gold galleons and prove their strength. After a hundred years of unremitting efforts, the magical creature Thunderbird is now finally endangered.

This introduction and history of the Thunderbird is recorded in the textbook "Where are the Magical Creatures?" on the protection of magical creatures. The reason why George and Fred were able to recognize this Thunderbird is because they have studied this knowledge in depth. It's

just that this giant beast that George and Fred once loved so much is now flying towards them rapidly with endless winds and lightning, which makes George and Fred very nervous.

George rubbed his wand vigorously to relieve his inner anxiety.

As for Fred, he pulled George to lower the altitude early, because it was easy to be struck by lightning if they continued to stay in the sky during the thunderstorm.

Gradually, the true appearance of the Thunderbird appeared in front of them. It was a handsome creature with a wingspan of more than ten meters, which looked like an eagle but had three pairs of wings. There was a person hanging on its claws. Fred looked closely and found that it was the assassin that Mike was chasing - Clark!

Fred's expression was a little confused. He couldn't understand why Clark was hanging on the claws of the Thunderbird. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to lie on its back?

However, Fred had just begun to have doubts in his heart. The next moment, a dull loud noise came from the sky, and then a thick silver-white lightning suddenly struck from the dark clouds above their heads, twisting and falling on the Thunderbird.

"Bing!~"

A sharp whistle came from the Thunderbird's mouth. It stretched its body in the air with its head raised. The surrounding strong wind blew its feathers wildly, and there was an endless amount of lightning flashing in those feathers!

Fred immediately understood Clark's difficulty. Thunderbirds are creatures that naturally attract lightning strikes. Of course, they are not afraid of lightning, and they even like the feeling of being struck by lightning, because these lightning can help them get rid of parasites on their bodies, but Clark can't isolate lightning, so he can only hang under the Thunderbird.

Looking at the Thunderbird getting closer and closer, George's expression was extremely ugly. He turned his head to look at Fred, but saw that the other party had the same expression at the moment.

Such a strong enemy, I really don't want to fight!

The two read this meaning from each other's eyes at the same time.

But after a moment, the two still gritted their teeth and pointed their wands at the huge Thunderbird in the air!

"Shattered to pieces! Thunder explosion!"

Two reddish beams flew straight towards the Thunderbird flying rapidly in the air. George and Fred's prediction skills were very good. With the Thunderbird's current flying speed, it was almost impossible to dodge these two spells.

But the next moment, the pair of wings at the Thunderbird's tail twisted, and the Thunderbird's originally streamlined posture immediately changed. Under the huge air resistance, the Thunderbird's body twisted strangely and flew past the two nearly parallel spells.

George and Fred's eyes were almost popped out in shock. They really didn't expect the Thunderbird to be so flexible and could adjust its body posture at such a speed.

The Thunderbird in the air had a very humane look of disdain in its eyes. You know, it has the ability to predict danger. It predicted the two spells of George and Fred before they were released. It would be strange if it couldn't dodge them.

If it were in the past, with Thunderbird's character, it would definitely fly down to teach these two bold guys a lesson, but now Thunderbird just wants to leave this ghost place quickly, because its danger perception is frantically alarming, prompting that there is an extremely dangerous thing approaching rapidly not far behind it!

George and Fred quickly recovered from the shock, gritted their teeth and continued to fire spells at Thunderbird in mid-air. Their task is to delay the escape time of Thunderbird and Clark. As long as Mike arrives, it will all be over!

Dense spells shot at Thunderbird like fireworks. These spells are not dense, but they are all carefully calculated predictive attacks, which gives Thunderbird a headache.

The two pairs of wings behind it twisted wildly to adjust its body shape to avoid attacks. Undoubtedly, this will slow down the flying speed of Thunderbird, and unfortunately, the shooting angles of these spells are too tricky. Although Thunderbird has tried its best to dodge, a few spells still hit it.

"Bing!~"

Another sharp cry came from the Thunderbird's mouth. Compared with the slightly pleasant cry just now, the Thunderbird's cry this time was obviously full of strong anger.

George and Fred completely angered it. Although the feathers of the Thunderbird have extremely high magic resistance, it will still hurt when hit by a spell.

The Thunderbird's speed suddenly slowed down, and lightning surged in its feathers. These lightnings were converging towards its largest pair of wings, causing the light on the wings to become brighter and brighter!

Then, the Thunderbird's three pairs of wings flapped violently, and two huge balls of red ball lightning were thrown out from its wings!

The two balls of ball lightning flew at an extremely fast speed. They carried infinite power and a strange sound like a ghost call and fell straight into the forest below the Thunderbird.

The next moment, an explosion mixed with fire and lightning came from the landing point of the ball lightning. Everything around the two balls of lightning burst into flames in the huge current and eventually turned into ashes!

George stared at the area burned by lightning in amazement. He had only seen such power in the fire spell released by Mike before.

But soon George's expression turned into horror.

Because the two balls of lightning did not dissipate after landing, but bounced up like a bouncy ball.

At this time, a strong wind controlled by the thunderbird swept over, and the two balls of lightning were as light as nothing, and were blown towards George and Fred.

"Merlin's beard! Run!"

The two balls of lightning kept attracting each other and spinning, leaving no grass wherever they went. George and Fred were immediately scared to death. They screamed and began to fly low over the forest on their brooms.

However, it was all in vain. The ball lightning was blowing faster and faster under the strong wind. In a blink of an eye, it drew a wide, charred road in the forest and caught up with George and Fred.

George and Fred were now numb all over, and the fiery red hair on their heads stood up, which made their minds blank.

The thunderbird above their heads cried happily, and it couldn't wait to see the two ants being swallowed by lightning.

Clark on its paw was stabbing its calf with his magic wand, and at the same time, he was loudly issuing orders for the Thunderbird to evacuate quickly. Clark had been doing this since the beginning of the battle. Unfortunately, the Thunderbird was an unruly creature. They would only listen to the words of those who could tame them, and Clark was obviously not qualified.

Perhaps it was hurt by the poke, the Thunderbird shook its claws irritably, and the annoying stinging sensation disappeared.

The Thunderbird blinked in satisfaction and prepared to continue to run away.

But before it could speed up again, a terrifying sense of danger suddenly came, and the Thunderbird's muscles tensed up, and the three pairs of wings suddenly flipped from the original streamlined shape to a flat shape. The three pairs of wings that suddenly deformed were like three sets of windshields composed of wings, blocking the oncoming airflow, causing the Thunderbird to slow down and start to climb rapidly upwards.

Clark, who was hanging on the Thunderbird's claws, almost vomited because of the sudden stop and climb. He held the Thunderbird's claws tightly and looked up at the same time.

For a moment, Clark's mouth slowly opened, and he stared at the low dark cloud layer above him, which was suddenly broken into a big hole. A beam of golden sunlight pierced through the dark cloud like a sword along the hole and shone into the forest below.

Clark couldn't help rubbing his eyes. Just now... he seemed to really see a sword... a cross sword.

The next moment, before Clark could react, a streak of sword light with a sharp whistle passed through his nose from top to bottom, and directly pierced into the center of the two ball-shaped lightning balls, killing two birds with one stone!

"Chi!"

The huge sound of electric current resounded throughout the forest. The two ball-shaped lightning balls were actually directly pierced by the sharp sword that fell from the sky. With the long sword piercing into the ground as the center, the surrounding forest with a diameter of 100 meters was completely turned into scorched earth!

George and Fred were also attracted by the huge noise. They instinctively turned back and were immediately ecstatic.

They recognized the long sword that had sunk into the ground, leaving only the hilt exposed in the air. It was Mike's "Holy Sword"!

"Ying!~"

The Thunderbird screamed to the sky. Its cry was like a command. The thick dark clouds suddenly surged, and the gap pierced by the holy sword was blocked again in an instant.

At the same time, thunder roared in the dark clouds, and countless silver-white lightning flashed wildly in between, and finally gathered on the top of the Thunderbird's head and struck down brazenly! At

this moment, the Thunderbird was completely bathed in the lightning. The light brown feathers on its body, which had become somewhat dim due to the release of ball lightning, were now emitting a holy white light. As more and more lightning struck it, the light on its body became more and more blazing, and later it began to faintly turn into golden yellow!

The Thunderbird in the lightning was still screaming, and it looked painful. It was obviously very uncomfortable to absorb so much lightning power in a short time, but now it could only do this, because its innate ability to sense danger told it that the terrifying existence that had been chasing them was about to arrive!

"Crashed!"

The heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time finally fell, and in the rain, the Thunderbird had completely turned into a bird of light shining with golden light. The heat emitted by the lightning on its body was so high that it even directly evaporated all the raindrops within a diameter of two meters around it!

George and Fred were running fast in the forest. Just now, when the Thunderbird was bathing in the lightning, they clearly saw a black spot falling from the Thunderbird. If nothing unexpected happened, it must be Clark, and they must catch him!

At the same time, an orange-red light was slowly emerging from the dark clouds. The moment this light appeared, the Thunderbird's heart was alarmed. It instinctively flapped its wings towards the light, and two golden thunderbolts shot into the dark clouds.

Unfortunately, the Thunderbird discovered it too late.

Suddenly, a fire broke out in the dark clouds, and then, with the orange-red light at the beginning as the center, endless light and heat exploded. George and Fred in the forest only heard a loud noise, and then everything around them lit up. The dense dark clouds above their heads were blown apart! The

heavy rain stopped, the dark clouds dissipated, and Mike's figure gradually emerged.

He was seen riding a flying broom and floating directly above the Thunderbird, surrounded by several basketball-sized black and purple fireballs, which were daunting.

"Holy Sword, fly over."

Mike hooked the magic wand in his hand, and the holy sword located on the scorched earth below rushed straight into the sky and fell straight into Mike's hands.

At this time, the power of lightning on the holy sword had not completely dissipated, and there would be lightning flashes flowing on it from time to time, but Mike didn't care. He had already put on dragon leather gloves on his hands. This excellent alchemical protective gear can completely block the current.

"Hmm!~"

The golden thunderbird roared at Mike. At this moment, all the feathers on its body stood up. Although the expression on its face could not be seen clearly, the piercing scream contained extreme fear!
