The Fat God System

Chapter 64: Ride

Hugh could only hang on to the eagle's leg because of his armor. He held on to the creature's leg with a tight grip and used his other hand to reach down his pocket.

He took a handful of wings in his storage and put them in on his mouth. He started to chew on multiple wings as he tried to fuel his armor from being in cooldown.

With the juices flowing in his stomach, he could feel his hands gain power and strength. He knew that he could now hold on to the eagle's leg for a few more seconds.

He used his exceptional grip to climb his way up from the eagle's leg towards its back. The eagle could feel Hugh grabbing its body to try and maneuver to its back, so it tried to throw Hugh off.

The eagle changed its direction quickly, trying to loosen Hugh's grip on its body. Hugh's arm grip proved to be superior to the force that the eagle was exerting, so he was able to keep holding on.

The eagle was annoyed at Hugh, so it continued to fly in a zigzag pattern. Hugh's body flailed around, but he never let go of his grip. If he did, he would plummet to the ground and instantly die.

Hugh was running out of time for his armor, so he hurried climbing up the eagle's back. He would alternate between his armor on his left and right hand to pull himself up on the eagle's back.

He had to be careful in grabbing the eagle's body because the feathers could be quickly plucked out, and he would have nothing to hold on to.

With his life on the line, Hugh's focus was directed on climbing the eagle's back. Even the wind blowing on his face could not take him out of his focus.

His eyebrows were furrowed together as, with one pull forward, he was successfully able to climb the eagle's back.

Once he had mounted the eagle, he put his body parallel to the eagle as he hugged it tightly. His armor was now on cooldown, and he had no more wings to eat. He would have to wait four more seconds before he could use his armor again.

He held on for his life while the eagle soared through the skies. It realized that it could no longer throw Hugh off, so it decided to fly straight towards its destination.

Seeing that the rise had become smooth, Hugh dared to lift his head up. Immediately, the strong winds blew across his face, making him squint for a second.

Once his eyes got adjusted, he opened his eyes fully to see the magnificent view of the sky. He could see the endless horizon beyond his eyes, curving at the edges.

He had never seen this kind of scenery before, and if he weren't on a dangerous animal that was planning to kill him, he would have enjoyed the experience more.

Then, up in the distance, Hugh could see a green object that was standing tall with nothing to its sides. He recognized this object, but he could not believe how massive it was.

The eagle was currently heading towards a giant tree in the middle of the clouds. He could see the leaves on the branches sway on the winds, and the brown bark was like a sturdy building.

This was a majestic tree, and as Hugh could not estimate its bigness. Hugh estimated that they were traveling for an hour, but they were still not near the tree. This kind of perspective told Hugh that the actual tree was more gigantic than he first thought.

After traveling for hours and hours, they were finally close to the gigantic tree. He could not see the minute details inside the tree, and he could faintly see movements inside the tree.

As he squinted his eyes to try and see more of the tree, he saw multiple shadows spurt out from the branches. Upon closer inspection, Hugh could see that they were flying creatures.

The eagle was trying to bring Hugh to its nest. This realization was like a bucket of cold water on his face. He had been traveling with the eagle for hours, so he was starting to feel comfortable.

The shadows inside the tree were eagles that bore the same resemblance with the eagle he was riding. It looked like the eagle wanted him to be eaten by his fellow eagles.

Hugh was mad. He did not try to kill the eagle because if he did, they would both plummet to the ground, and the fall damage would kill him.

Now that the eagle was trying to feed him to other eagles, Hugh wanted to kill the eagle. He would rather take his chances with falling than taking on multiple eagles at the same time.

Hugh activated his armor on his fist and created a claw shape. With his sharp nails, he plunged his hand on the eagle's body, piercing its skin and tearing apart its flesh.

*KYOOOAAAAA*

The eagle howled in pain as it felt Hugh's attack. It could only howl in pain as it could not do anything to Hugh. The eagle flew again in a zigzag in an attempt to throw Hugh off, but he had a firm grip under the eagle's skin.

Hugh could feel the flesh of the eagle in his hands, wet by its blood. With one strong pull, he tore apart a large chunk of the eagle's meat.

*KKKKKYYYYOOOOAAAAAA!!!!!*

The eagle was feeling the pain from its flesh being torn apart. This weakened the creature as it stopped flying in a zigzag and just tried to reach the tree where there were multiple other eagles inside.

Hugh looked at the giant tree in the front and saw that the other eagles heard the howling pain of the eagle he was in.

Their wings flapped, and they took off towards Hugh, so Hugh had no choice but to kill the eagle faster.

The torn flesh that he took was immediately put in his mouth as he tasted it. It was meaty and full of protein, so Hugh was satisfied with the taste.

It was like eating chicken soup. The blood of the eagle soaked the flesh and made it more flavorful in his tastebuds. Hugh wanted more, so he pierced his hand again on the eagle's body.

*KYAAOOOO!!!*

The eagle was starting to weaken, and its wings were beating at a slower rate. Hugh could feel the eagle start to descend as the eagle was slowly dying.

Hugh looked up and saw that they were at a collision course towards the tree, so Hugh decided to bury himself on the eagle's body to lessen the collision force.

Hugh dug deeper into the eagle's body as he kept eating the flesh. He had also come upon the eagle's organs, which he did not hesitate to eat.

He just kept munching on the innards of the eagle as it ultimately died while on the air. As the wings stopped flapping, the eagle's dead body started to descend at a fast rate.

It still had forward momentum, so the descent was not straight down. Hugh braced himself for impact by protecting his head with his armor and assuming a fetal position.

*BOOM*

The dead eagle's body landed on the tree's branch and skidded across the wood. Hugh could feel the eagle's body roll around, but he was not seriously hurt.

The eagle had absorbed most of the damage, so the only thing Hugh got was a bit of dizziness from rolling around. He did not immediately get out of the eagle as he started to finish his meal.

He was craving for more eagle meat as it felt like the eagle meat surpassed premium grade beef. His whole body was soaked in the eagle's blood, but that did not stop him from eating the eagle's innards.

He was like a rat that burrowed itself on a dead body. With the innards gone and completely eaten, Hugh set his sights on the skin of the eagle.

As he opened the eagle's body to the outside, he immediately saw another eagle staring at him. He had forgotten about the other eagles due to his craving for the eagle's meat.

*flap* *flap*

Then, more and more eagles landed beside the other eagle as they all stated at Hugh with sharp eyes. Hugh's whole body was soaked in the eagle's blood, so he looked dirty, but he flashed a disarming smile towards the eagles.

*KYAOOO!!*

The eagle at the front then screeched towards the other eagle, then opened its wings.

*flap*

It flew up in the air and headed straight for Hugh.
