Alex looked toward the incoming bird and immediately used a Heaven's Impact on it. The bird died before it could come anywhere close to the ground.
Shumi was halfway to attacking when she froze, realizing she wasn't needed. She turned around slowly, a little confused. "What did you do?"
"Spiritual attack," Alex said simply. "Those birds are weak to it and can hardly survive. Were you not aware?"
Shumi shook her head while still holding a look of awe. "I've never had to fight them. I mostly sneaked through with my Yin Veil," she explained.
"If you can use a spiritual attack, that might be easier than actually attacking them," Alex said. "Anyway, we should start moving. Whisker is going further away now."
Shumi nodded and followed Alex, who went after Whisker, making sure no other bird managed to sneak attack him while they were distracted. Whisker had yet to find anything, and Alex doubted he would. Still, he had to let him search just in case.
