Chapter 608: 608
A harsh battle was unfolding in the sky over the territory that was once occupied by the lake inhabited by octopuses .
The ground under the lake had crumbled when the winged beasts woke up from their slumber and resurfaced, but the creatures that inhabited it had survived the fall .
That area had become something similar to a large fishing area for the remaining winged beasts though .
The octopuses of the lake were trapped in a deep canyon and couldn't escape the attacks of the more than a hundred creatures that assaulted them .
Even the rank 5 specimen couldn't do much about the situation since there were two rank 5 winged beasts that were attempting to hunt it .
Most of the strongest winged creatures had died in the battle between the rank 6 existences, but some of them still flew in the sky over the piece of Immortal Lands .
Rank 5 creatures couldn't be bothered to go after rank 4 beasts when there were beings on their level that they could hunt, their hunger simply led them toward the prey that would provide the most fulfilling meal .
However, the winged beasts had lost their ability to cooperate when their leaders died .
The remaining rank 5 specimens didn't have the power to suppress the awakened instincts of the many rank 4 beasts under them, and couldn't organize them in battle formations .
Heaven and Earth were fair, the winged beasts had the incredible ability to fuse their attacks, but that was balanced by a physical strength that was below the average of the other magical creatures .
The weakness of that species was exposed entirely now that their cooperation was gone, but they could still fly, something that gave them a good advantage over the fauna of the new continent .
The two rank 5 winged creatures fought the rank 5 octopus together, but their teamwork was lacking, and their bodies weren't a match for their opponent .
On the other hand, the octopus was huge, and its tentacles weren't able to hit the nimble, humanoid figures that were sieging it .
The winged beasts used their claws to inflict deep wounds every time they dodged a tentacle, they were trying to exhaust the creature hiding in the water under them before fishing it out of its lair .
The intelligence of that species could be clearly seen in that situation .
Generally speaking, magical beasts would just run away when they saw that their opponent overpowered them .
Yet, those winged creatures could see a path toward victory and were even resorting to a natural form of cooperation to succeed .
Thick blue drops of blood fell into the lake every time the sharp claws of the attackers pierced the tentacles of the ruler of that area .
The color of the lake began to change as the rank 5 octopus, and the other weaker specimens of its pack kept on getting injured, the murky water was slowly turning dark-blue .
The battle in that area was so intense that none of the beasts there noticed that black flames had begun to appear at some point .
The black flames would form whenever a corpse, body part, or drop of blood fell toward the lake, and they would vanish as soon as those materials pierced their surface .
Of course, those materials would disappear together with the black flames .
