As the spirit glass cell opened, the Black Scavenger Bird cawed. It was jet black, even its beak and claws, but was slightly smaller than the Carrier Beetle he had fought, so perhaps wasn't quite as intimidating. However, Lenny knew it was unwise to underestimate a spirit beast of any type. After all, he was now without a spirit weapon and did not come close to matching combat prowess of the Group Warfare teams he had observed only the day before.
As the beast left its perch, it dove towards Lenny with its sharp claws stretched outwards. Lenny had assumed the beast would use some sort of wind attack, perhaps like an elemental user, but instead, it seemed to be using its essence to propel itself forward for extra speed, something he had not accounted for.
