Only when Alex began fusing spells into the arrows he shot did Ikeris start to evade them. It was now looking at the 'pillows' that were aimed at it in a new light. Although they were not yet life-threatening. Ikeris could feel the obvious difference in the arrow's speed and sharpness. It believed that if it was hit by two or more of those arrows, it would be seriously injured.
Whistling sounds continued to resound as Alex kept pulling his bowstring while Ikeris did its best to dodge as much as it could, as for those it was unable to dodge, it could only repel them with its steel wings while covering its weak spots at the same time.
Even as a magic beast, ikeris acknowledged that Alex's archery skill was already at the profund mastery level; so since the arrows turned more dangerous, the bird was forced to evade and defend but this didn't stop its relentless assault on Alex's space fortress, which still had not shown any sign of collapsing, it didn't even have a crack yet.
