Chapter 1418 The End of the Archaeopteryx

The excruciating pain emanating from his skull, along with the piercing roar echoing in his ears, caused the Primordial Bird, the Lord of the Sky, to appear slightly dazed.

Out of the corner of its eye, it watched as the Greninja and the Iron Warrior relentlessly approached it... Watching the long blade wreathed in black flames and the pink starry sky dagger draw ever closer to its body, it was powerless to do anything but watch helplessly as it all came to pass.

A sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

"Crack!"

The long blade wreathed in black flames slashed at the throat of the Proto-Bird, the blade sinking into it, and in an instant, blood gushed out like a fountain!

At the same time, the Iron Warrior's pink short blade was getting closer and closer to the pupils of the Sky Treasure Master, the Primordial Bird.

"Pfft!"

With a tearing sound, a sharp short blade pierced the eye of the Sky Treasure Master, the Primordial Bird.

"Roar!"

A mournful roar echoed through the clouds. The azure aerodynamic energy that had been dissipating across the sky went completely out of control at this moment, turning into a raging gale that continued to converge and eventually formed a massive storm vortex.

At the center of the vortex, Archaeopteryx's body trembled uncontrollably. Its eyes were blind, and blood kept flowing from its eye sockets, making it look gruesome and terrifying. What was even more chilling was that its neck seemed to be broken.

Fresh blood gushed out, staining its entire body crimson, making it look exceptionally pitiful.

Xia Yu felt a pang of pity as he watched this scene. The battle had already reached a point where the outcome was clear, and there was absolutely no need to go to extremes.

A wild Archaeopteryx may take more than ten or even several decades to grow from birth to its current state. It would be a great pity if it died just like that.

"You've lost." Xia Yu's calm voice rang out as he looked at the Archaeopteryx before him and advised, "There's no need to continue fighting. Hand over the secret technique: Bitter Seasoning..."

Before Xia Yu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a gust of wind.

However, before the wind blades could get close to Xia Yu, they were interrupted by the Snow Fairy raising her hand.

Archaeopteryx demonstrated its stance through its actions.

It will never admit defeat.

Seeing this, Xia Yu frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled by the behavior and thoughts of the Archaeopteryx.

A progenitor bird with weak traits... who became the master of the sky through sneak attacks, deception, and betrayal, actually has such backbone that it refuses to surrender.

Is the Lord of the Sky really that important?

Just as Xia Yu was pondering, the Archaeopteryx struggled to cling to the mountain peak with its claws, trying its best to stabilize its body. Its body trembled and swayed precariously before slowly raising its head.

Even though it was blind and could not see anything at this moment, with blood flowing continuously from its eyes, it still proudly raised its head, just as confident and composed as when they first met.

Seeing Archaeopteryx's strange behavior, Xia Yu's Pokémon all gathered around.

Mega Latios, Mega Latias, Iron Warrior, Greninja, Darkrai, Deoxys, and Froslass quickly approached the Sky Lord, the Proto-Bird, and surrounded it.

However, without Xia Yu's order, they did not act rashly.

Iron Warrior and Greninja stood behind Mega Latios and Mega Latias, Iron Warrior holding a blood-stained pink dagger.

Greninja was shrouded in black mist, holding a jet-black longsword in one hand and the other in the other, with evil flames flowing and burning on the blade!

Darkrai, Deoxys, and Froslass floated in the air, surrounding the Archon from three different directions and blocking all its escape routes.

Sensing the surrounding atmosphere, the Primordial Bird of the Sky actually revealed a smile on its face, its expression calm and composed, as if it had already prepared to face death!

"Kill me, become the new Lord of the Sky... only then can you take the secret: Bitter Seasoning!" The voice of the Lord of the Sky, the ancestral bird, echoed in Xia Yu's mind.

Immediately afterwards, the storm vortex that enveloped the Primordial Bird of the Sky began to spiral out of control, forming a terrifying hurricane, as if it were preparing for a final, desperate struggle.

Xia Yu frowned as he watched this scene. Although he did not understand the stubbornness and persistence of the Primordial Bird of the Sky, it seemed that killing it was his only option now that things had come to this.

"Let's get started."

Almost the instant Xia Yu finished speaking, the Primordial Bird of the Sky Treasure Master suddenly took off on the wind, soaring straight up in the raging storm!

Instead of attacking Xia Yu's Pokémon, it soared straight into the sky!

This sudden move caught all of Xia Yu's Pokémon off guard.

They all raised their heads and flew into the sky, chasing after the figure of the Primordial Bird, the Lord of the Sky.

However, just as the Primordial Bird of the Sky soared into the heavens, its figure suddenly spun around, bathed in a storm, and plummeted from the sky at high speed.

Its body was enveloped in azure flight-type energy, as if it were coated with a layer of crystal-clear blue shell.

"Roar!"

The roar of the Primordial Bird, the Lord of the Sky, echoed across the sky. It descended from the heavens, riding the storm and carrying a sky full of blue light.

"This is……"

Xia Yu watched this scene, his eyes flickering slightly.

A brave bird launches a fierce attack?!

It looks similar, but it probably isn't. Xia Yu wasn't sure if the move the Sky Treasure Master's Ancestral Bird was using was the Brave Bird's Fierce Attack.

This move is 99% similar to Brave Bird, but in the game, Pokémon like Archaeopteryx cannot learn Brave Bird.

But this is reality, the real world full of miracles, not fixed virtual data; everything is full of unknowns and infinite possibilities.

Just like the "weakness" ingrained in the bones of the Pokémon Archaeopteryx, which has only one characteristic, "weakness," Archaeopteryx has never shown any weakness throughout this battle, even now that it is blind and has had half of its neck severed.

This tough performance is a world apart from the spineless Archaeopteryx that it encountered before.

He only heard comments from other Pokémon about the Sky Lord, Archeagle, being "ruthless, deceitful, and treacherous," but he overlooked the forbearance and price it had to pay to kill the previous Sky Lord, Rockbird.

If Archaeopteryx were just an ordinary Pokémon, even if it were given a thousand chances, it wouldn't be able to kill Shikigami and become the master of the skies.

The reason he was able to defeat Archaeopteryx was entirely due to the combined efforts of a large number of Master-level Pokémon. In a one-on-one situation, even with a sneak attack, it would have been almost impossible to defeat Archaeopteryx.

You could say that Archaeopteryx was ruthless and vicious, but you could never say it was weak.

…………

As the Archaeopteryx swooped down, Xia Yu's calm voice rang out: "Dodge! Don't take it head-on!"

He had already realized that the Primordial Bird of the Sky was at its last gasp, and this was most likely its last move, so there was no need to continue to fight it head-on.

Upon seeing this, all the Pokémon scattered.

And the Sky Treasure Master, the Great Bird, doesn't seem to be targeting Xia Yu's Pokémon.

Under Xia Yu's gaze, the azure body of the Primordial Bird of the Sky Treasure Master drew a graceful arc in the air, like a shooting star, dazzling and bright, leaving a trail of star tail.

It passed by a group of Pokémon, pierced through the clouds, and plummeted towards the ground at high speed.

In the final moments of its life, the Primordial Bird, the Lord of the Sky, did not choose to continue fighting, but instead chose to swoop down towards the earth, ending its own life.
