After they had lunch and filled their stomachs, they checked the door which they had come from. The door was shut tight, even though they killed the boss. Although John had already expected that.

Their lunch was cooked chicken and potatoes. Yeah, it wasn’t amazing, but it was really good. It was the tastiest potato John had ever eaten in his life.

“Are you guys sure you don’t need any more rest?” John asked as they walked towards the door.

“Yeah, I’m sure.” Said Serena.

“Our provisions won’t last long, we don’t have time to waste so we don’t have any other choice.” Replied Ariel.

‘Yeah, you’re right about that.’ John thought.

“Alright, is everyone ready?” He asked as they reached the door.

“Yeah.” Said Serena.

“Let’s go.” Said Ariel with a resolved look on her face.

“Alright,” John said as they walked through the door.

Again, like any other floor, there are stairs which lead downwards. They slowly walked down the stairs as they were hit by a fresh breeze.

“Wind..?” John muttered.

The further they went down, the stronger it got. Once they finally reached the floor, the amount of wind pressure inside was a lot higher compared to outside. If they didn’t have magic strengthening, they would probably all be blown away.

The floor was just like the 12th one, a giant room. The only difference is that instead of looking like a cave, it looked like the halls of a palace. Sort of like a clean boss room. But they could tell that it wasn’t the boss’ room. Why? Because…

“Those giant birds flying around, you don’t suppose they’re friendly do you?” Asked Serena.

“Haha, I’m not sure. Should we go and ask them?” John asked.

As he said that, the giant birds flying around in the hall noticed them. Shortly after that they let out a shriek which resembled a signal to attack and flew straight at them. There were at least 20 of them, that’s how big the hall was.

The first 10 flew straight at them, and the other 10 just watched. They were giant birds with feathers all over their bodies. They resembled a monster John knew all too well in a game I used to play.

“Argentavis…” John and Serena muttered at the same time.

“They don’t look like they want to talk…” Muttered Ariel as she began gathering air in front of her.

As she did that, she made a surprised expression.

“The air in here… It’s easier to gather, and it’s strong…” She muttered.

“John, have you seen an Argentavis before?” Asked Serena.

‘Why does this world have the same name as the one from the one in my previous world? Coincidence?’ John wondered.

“I’ve heard about one. But it’s my first time seeing one in person.” John muttered to himself.

“Uhh, guys, a little help?” Asked Ariel as she simultaneously fired off 3 ventuses at the birds.

The first 2 ventuses missed, but the third one landed a hit. It managed to cut off the bird’s wings, causing it to fall straight down and crash into the ground. It couldn’t move after that but John wasn’t sure if it was dead or not.

“That’s one down…” John muttered as he cast levite and velox.

“19 to go…” Muttered Serena as they all jumped back.

Thanks to the jump, they ended up avoiding getting hit by 2 beaks. As the birds crashed into the ground head first with their beaks. They got stuck. They used that moment to attack them.

“Ventus…” Muttered Serena as she also began to gather air in front of her.

Ignis won’t work as well as Ventus. When it comes to damage and range, a wind blade is the best bet. John had also taught both of them how to use Fire and Air in case where one element wouldn’t help.

The Ventus Serena cast hit one of the bird’s wings head-on from close range, causing there to be a deep cut on the wing. However, since she still wasn’t as good as controlling wind compared to Ariel. She wasn’t able to fully cut off the wing.

“But that’s good enough.” John muttered as he leapt at the birds and cast glacio on them.

The instant he activated the spell, it spread from his hands and engulfed their entire body in seconds. They tried to struggle, but it was futile.

“That’s three down…” John muttered as he looked over at the 7 above them.

There were another 10 above them, but those were just observing them.

“You guys gonna come down here, or what? Or do you mind letting us through?”

As John asked that another 3 birds charged at him. Serena and Ariel, who had been gathering wind, cast Ventus at the two on the sides and managed to break their control.

However, along with the one in the middle, they kept their momentum and charged at John head first with their beak.

He dodged it by jumping and leaping forwards. The birds crashed straight down. The two who each had one of their wings cut off got up from the ground. They let out a screech as they charged at him, all three.

“Why are you trying so hard to kill us? I get that we’re invading your territory, but don’t you realise it’s pointless?” John said as he dodged their beaks by jumping around.

Serena and Ariel watched as he continued his talk.

“I’ve always wanted to meet an argentavis so this leaves a bad taste in my mouth…” John muttered as he cast glacies.

John created 6 at once and propelled two at each of them. They tried to dodge, but from this range, they were only able to dodge the first one. Without being able to do anything. They were hit by the Second spike.

The ice spread through where they were hit to their wings to eventually their entire body. Eventually, they froze up.

John looked up at the remaining birds in the sky and shouted.

“You guys wanna live, right?! Don’t get in our way!”

After He shouted at them. One of the birds that watched, let out a loud screech.. It appeared to be a signal to fall back as the birds, which were flying above them, went flew back up to where the others who were watching were.
