My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 1018

Chapter 1018: Chapter 1016 Mutated Animals Acquired 7

Now that Kisha could see its status window, she felt even more shocked.

The mutated Golden Eagle was actually stronger than Zeus in several aspects, and the set of skills it possessed made it far more terrifying than the three mutated animals she had encountered earlier.

Although Kisha’s own stats were still significantly higher than the mutated golden eagle’s, the creature’s skill made it a dangerous all-rounder, far trickier to deal with than brute fighters like the mutated rhinoceros, mutated wolf, or mutated porcupine.

First, its ’Armor Skin’ skill had already reached Level 2.

That meant most ordinary attacks would barely affect it. Looking at the eagle’s golden body, its feathers gleaming like sharpened metal, Kisha doubted that weak attacks could even scratch its hide.

Then there was the ’Whirlwind’ skill, already at Level 1.

The name alone made its purpose obvious. With wings this massive, a single flap could generate terrifying air currents, and this skill falls under the area-of-effect category. If it truly unleashed the skill, it could likely create multiple whirlwinds capable of tearing through everything within their range. Compared to the wind generated by a helicopter’s propeller, the force of its wings would be far stronger.

Its third skill, ’Battle Cry’, was even more troublesome.

Unlike the others, it belonged to the debuff category, capable of weakening its enemies. According to the status window, it could reduce an opponent’s stats by as much as twenty percent.

And finally—

’Wing Blade.’

The name alone said enough. With wings as long and sharp as blades, a single sweep could slice through anything unfortunate enough to stand in its path.

The creature wasn’t just intimidating in appearance.

Its abilities were equally terrifying.

At the moment, the mutated Golden Eagle hovered roughly a hundred meters away in the air. But in truth, that distance meant almost nothing to a creature that could cross the sky in seconds.

Each slow, powerful flap of its wings generated violent gusts of wind that rippled across the grassland.

Ethan was already struggling to keep his footing, nearly being blown away by the pressure of the wind alone.

Meanwhile, high above them, the mutated Golden Eagle watched them both carefully, its sharp eyes locked onto Kisha and Ethan like a predator studying its prey.

Kisha felt her skin crawl under the creature’s gaze.

The feeling of being watched so intensely was dreadful, almost suffocating.

It had been a long time since she had felt truly intimidated by an enemy. Over time, as her strength had grown, so had her confidence. She had reached a point where she no longer feared most opponents.

In fact, she had recently proven it herself, facing and dominating an entire zombie wave in battle.

But standing before this mutated Golden Eagle was different.

Even though her overall stats were higher than the creature’s, its overwhelming aura and terrifying skill set made it far more intimidating than most enemies she had faced.

Perhaps she was fortunate.

This Golden Eagle had not yet reached Level 4, let alone Level 5.

At its current Level 3, she still had a chance to defend herself while protecting Ethan.

But if it were even a level higher...

Kisha knew she might have no choice but to retreat into her territory space and escape.

And yet, instead of discouraging her, the thought only strengthened her resolve.

She wanted to capture this mutated Golden Eagle.

Not for herself.

But for Duke.

Just by observing the creature, Kisha could already tell that its fierce demeanor and commanding aura suited Duke perfectly. And more importantly, Duke still didn’t have a battle pet of his own.

Although he possessed an elemental awakened ability, it wasn’t a wind-type power.

If she could give him this mutated Golden Eagle, Duke’s combat strength would rise tremendously. With a partner like this, he could easily become a powerhouse capable of rivaling an entire zombie wave or even a base by himself.

Especially since most of the Duke’s abilities were area-of-effect skills, and one of them even carried a powerful debuff effect.

With a companion like that fighting beside him...

Her husband would be far less likely to perish in future battles.

And just thinking about that possibility brought Kisha a small sense of comfort.

But before any of that could happen...

She first had to subdue the mutated Golden Eagle.

After steadying her nerves, Kisha quickly pushed Ethan back. "Stay behind Zeus," she said firmly.

Zeus immediately stepped forward, positioning its body between Ethan and the battlefield, ready to protect him while Kisha confronted the mutated Golden Eagle.

But before Kisha could even take a step forward—

A familiar buzzing sound echoed beside her.

Bell, who had remained silent the entire time, hovered in the air next to her.

"Master... let Bell handle this," Bell said, its tiny voice calm but determined. "I want to compare my strength with this mutated animal."

Its beady eyes locked directly onto the enormous mutated Golden Eagle.

Besides, Bell had been staying inside her territory space for quite some time, mostly managing the hive and producing Scarlet Honey for Kisha and her warriors. While that work was important, it meant Bell rarely had the opportunity to fight.
