As expected, the deafening crash was the sound of the lifeless body of the giant eagle hitting the ground. Without missing a beat, Alex swiftly teleported to the ground, having completed the task of taking it down.
It only took forty seconds for him to take down the eagle, much less than the minute he asked. And he did it in one quick and precise motion.
Taka, Kalina, and the prince stood frozen in awe, their eyes locked on the lifeless body of tier 4 giant eagle that lay before them. The creature was imbued with the power of the wind elemental, making it a formidable opponent even for skilled warriors.
To take down such a beast in mid-air within seconds was an incredible feat that left them speechless. They exchanged bewildered glances, struggling to process what they had just witnessed.
Their curiosity piqued, they turned to Alex, hoping he would shed some light on the remarkable feat he had just accomplished. However, Alex remained indifferent to their inquisitive gazes, appearing unfazed by the feat he had just accomplished.
'Good! The corpse be used as fertiliser.' He thought while storing the corpse of tier 4 giant eagle.

A couple of seconds ago.
Just after teleporting away from the ground, Alex reappeared 1000 meters above the eagle. It took him three teleportations to reach there. At this distance, he could see the giant eagle flying below him.
After that, he took out a stone weighing ten metric tons and hugged it. The heaviest object that he could store inside the farm warehouse.
He had originally planned to use it to craft a more refined version of his stone oven, but fate had different plans. He had to use it for something much more important at the current moment.
Looking down at the giant eagle, he screamed to catch its attention while falling with the stone.
"LITTLE BIRDIE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT GRAVITY IS?"
Thus began his free fall towards the ground.
The giant eagle who noticed Alex's presence above it quickly turned towards him. Using its wind elemental power, it quickly changed its direction and flew straight towards Alex. It detested Alex who challenged its air supremacy.
So, it wanted to immediately end the life of this pathetic human who appeared in the sky.
But Alex didn't care about any of that. He was excited to see the eagle flying towards him.
Just as it reached 400 meters in front of him, Alex suddenly teleported with the stone. He disappeared and reappeared right on the giant eagle's forehead.
The eagle wanted to dodge him by quickly turning its head. But it was of no avail.
"THUCK…" The stone weighing 10000kg crashed right on the head of beast.
The fragile neck of the giant eagle broke instantaneously as it made contact with the stone. After all, even for a tier 4 beast, a 10000kg stone moving at terminal velocity was nothing to scoff at.
And the fact that the giant eagle was a flying beast with weak bones only exacerbated its vulnerability in this situation. Its demise was sealed as the stone obliterated its neck, leaving it lifeless and motionless in the air. Alex let out a victorious smile after killing the giant eagle.
"Bird brain, Let me name you the Unlucky Newton." After giggling like a fool mid-air, Alex entered the farm.
While teleporting conserves kinetic energy, entering the farm seems to cancel out the kinetic energy of his body. This was the trick he used to destroy that bird.
By utilising the force and momentum of the fast-moving stone, he killed the giant eagle as quickly as he can. And he teleported into the farm to cancel the momentum of his body.
Doing so, he made it seem like it's easy to kill a tier 4 beast. But it was not the case in reality.
Even for him, teleporting a 10000kg stone 400 metres away seemed to have drained half his energy reserves. He wouldn't be able to execute the same attack repeatedly. It would be better if he can rest for a bit before continuing his battle.
So, as soon as he reached the ground, he stored the corpse of the giant eagle in his inventory to make some fertiliser and went towards his allies.

"Why are you giving me that look? It's making me feel shy." Alex said while showing a bashful appearance.
Swiping his arm through the air, Alex took out a chair and sat next to the group of people. After that, he began to eat meat rich in mysterious energy to recover.
"You three, don't stand there looking. Go and kill the rest of that monstrous beasts. Sir Taka, you go after the rhino, Kalina put out the fire salamander. And you, the prince who I don't know. Go and kill that monkey. I will act as the babysitter until Laya wakes up. Let's go!" He had to recover his energy fast, so he tried to send others into battle while he recovers.
"He hasn't changed one bit. This evil guy." Hearing Alex order them around, Taka commented. But what he said made sense. So, everybody was ready to follow through with it.
Kalina and Taka quickly entered the battlefield and began fighting the giant beasts. The low-tiered warriors of The thousand-headed serpent tribe were happy to see this. They joined in to help them.
The prince who saw this also went to do his part.
"Slap…Slap… Are you awake?" While eating the food, Alex lightly slapped Laya to wake her up.
'I learned that people in this world like this method of waking people up.'
"Wha!" Laya woke up and held her cheeks. She looked around for a second and let out a relieved sigh.
"No, you are not dead yet," Alex said while directing her attention to him.
"You, why are you here?"
"I came here with your sister."
"My sister? Meena is here?"
"No, the haughty one. The one who likes fighting. The older scatterbrained one. I can be more concise and call her 'The Problem'."
"You don't need to be that precise. I understand who you are talking about. So, why did you come here with my sister?"
"You seemed to be mistaken about something. She tagged along when I came here. Not the other way around."
"Huh!" Laya was astonished to hear that. Her sister who was under house arrest allied with Meru to come here. Why? This confused Laya quite a bit.
"So, where is she?" She asked while groaning in pain.
"Putting out some fire. Don't move around. You are not fully healed. Besides that, can you explain to me why these black-robed men are attacking the city?" Alex asked Laya to understand the general situation.
The day was about end, the stars peeked from the darkening sky while the thunderstorm moved closer.
"BOOOOM..." The flickering light of the lightning illuminated Laya's face as she tried to recall the events that had led up to this moment. Her expression changed momentarily when she realised who the real culprit was.
"It's the first elder, he was making hidden contact with black-robed men. We came here to negotiate with Sir Taka and Prince Ethan to alleviate the metal shortage. But he went his separate way after reaching the city."
"Unfortunately, I was caught when I looked into his movements. That's when this mess began." Laya said with tearful eyes.
