The Urban Dao Child.

Hearing the threat coming from the giant creature, Amirah almost knelt on the ground. She could not wrap her brain around what was going on and then came the consecutive threats. Yang Dao extended his hand as he floated in front of Amirah. 

The latter instinctively took it. She was aware that this ain\'t bird was listening only to Yang Dao. She pushed herself in his embrace and said, "Please do not leave me here." 

She was genuinely scared that the boy will leave her here. Yang Dao did not comment and holding her waist he moved and landed on the back of the golden crow. He said, "Amber, let us go. Also, destroy this place." 

The crow gave out a loud caw and fluttered her wings. The next moment, the three people flew up. The speed was much faster than a supersonic plane, and to justify this a loud boom was heard behind them. 

Amirah tightened her grip around the boy\'s chest. Yang Dao was not paying attention to her but to the ethereal shield formed around them. He asked, "Amber, is this a skill of yours?" 

Amber was happy when she heard him being curious about her, she was smart enough to understand what Yang Dao was asking about and replied in his mind, "My lord, this is just basic spirit energy manipulation. You can also master it when you ascend to the higher realm." 

Yang Dao nodded and decided to ask her the details of spirit energy later. As they flew up, this spirit shield repelled the water and made the flight almost frictionless. Within a few seconds, they were already in the sky. The bitter cold did not affect them. Amirah had her eyes closed the whole time. She did not know what was going on around her. 

Yang Dao said, "You, let go of me." his voice was calm and indifferent. It shook off the girl clinging to him. 

Amirah took a step back and found that they were out of the land below. Yang Dao asked, "Where do you want to go?" 

The girl said, "I have nowhere to go. My family and friends are all dead. You can drop me down to the nearest human settlement and I will manage the rest myself." 

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Good. You can follow me back to my place." Amirah was surprised and nodded. 

The boy had a use for her. He said to Amber, "Move towards the east, raise the flying height, or destination is an island." 

The crow did not reply with her words but her quick actions. She immediately climbed the sky with her wings, and they were soon above the clouds. Yang Dao took out his smartphone. This thing has been shoved inside his socks, to avoid being damaged. Although the gadget was waterproof, it also applied to a certain depth under the water. 

However, it was not a problem for him to mend it now. He channeled the earth source energy through the phone to dry it. Yes, the earth absorbs water, the same applies here. After making ten circulations he changed the source energy of the earth to that of fire and made one circulation at a minimal energy input. 

He closed his eyes and mumbled, "Please work fine." as he switched on the phone by holding onto a certain place on the screen. 

After a few seconds the phone did not switch on and Yang Dao let go of all hope. He said, "Amber, fly at your fastest speed. I do not wish for the satellites above to pick us up." 

That said, he did not even wait for confirmation and asked Amirah to lie down on the back of the giant bird. Earlier he had noticed how the spiritual shield was working around them. He did not know much about the spirit energy mechanism but he was aware that birds flew against the wind, thus this was his effort to lower the burden on Amber. 

Amber sensed his movements and said, "Lord, thank you." She was indeed flying against the wind and it was because of her spirit energy manipulation that she was able to achieve the speed of sound. As Yang Dao and Amirah lay down, the spirit energy shield also contracted and it became sleeker. 

Amber fluttered her wings and the speed increased by five times that of the sound. Yang Dao also helped her by manipulating the air current around them to provide her with some extra push. The speed was so fast that within half an hour they crossed half the world. Amber said, "Lord, we have arrived." 

Yang Dao said, "Can you sense the strongest concentration of fire source energy?" 

Amber nodded and talking his hint it flew towards the fire source. 

... 

At this moment, Feng Yun was sitting in her office at the ruby towers, suddenly she sensed something and a smile appeared on her face. RALF said, "Master is above the surface and he seems to be riding a golden bird. Shall I proceed to erase these things from the network, Madam?" 

Feng Yun nodded and said, "Yes, RALF, erase them. I will go and meet him." 

The program replied, "Very well, madam." and began the task to delete every satellite image, secret code transmission, and video feed to ensure that Yang Dao is not picked up by anyone. The system was not yet invincible, it was not as strong as the guy in the New Dawn organization. However, it was versatile. 

While the new dawn AI would only take part in modifying the human bodies it had no other uses but it was equipped with an almost uncrackable firewall algorithm. RALF on the other hand was a versatile bot and still growing at a stable pace. Feng Yun had gone to the terrace to meet Yang Dao.

Just when she came out of the elevator, she spotted a bird flying towards her. Although the bird was still very far away she could see it with her special eyes. She said, "Everyone, go downstairs." 

There were a few staff members present on the terrace to look after the helicopters, when they heard the command, they all completed it without any hesitation or doubt. Feng Yun was the empress they dared not defy even in their dreams. 

After the staff went down, the golden crow landed on the floor.. Yang Dao and Amirah slid don and the crow turned smaller, then it bowed to Feng Yun but this time, Amber did not extend her wings, and said, "Amber has seen her highness, the flame queen."
