Chapter 412: Fire Phoenix
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
They arrived at the scene to find everything in a mess. There were flaming pits on the ground, and the fire seemed inextinguishable. The stones and trees nearby all exploded as if there was a world war.
Himmel Soan saw a single person on a spot where the ground was still intact. It was Rustam!
“Are you alone? Where are the others?” Himmel Soan asked.
Rustam was shocked to see him again. He felt conflicted because he didn’t know if it was a good thing or not. He hesitated before saying, “Sir, why are you here?”
Clunk…
They heard the loud sound made by a phoenix. All three of them looked up at the sky. It was a fire phoenix with flaming red feathers. Its tail took up two-thirds of its entire length. Three bright red feathers stood on its head like a crown.
The phoenix opened its beak to create a ball of fire.
“Run! It’s a sacred beast. I’m sorry to get you in danger!” Rustam said anxiously.
He wanted Himmel Soan to escape as soon as possible, not wishing to see him get injured. The gentleman had saved him once.
“Where are your companions? Are they all dead?” Himmel Soan asked calmly.
The bird didn’t pose any threat to him. He couldn’t care less about it. He only tried to solve his own problem.
“We had a fallout, so we went our separate ways. I don’t know where they are now.” Rustam sighed.
He didn’t want to get the gentleman involved, but it was too late for that. He had no idea why he seemed so calm, but he still answered his question.
“I se—”
“Watch out!” Rustam cut Himmel Soan off. He ran behind him and spread his arms to shield him.
He closed his eyes, ready to die.
There was a flash of light, but he didn’t feel anything.
He slowly opened his eyes. The ground was still covered with debris. It wasn’t a dream, but why didn’t he feel anything?
“I think the bird has been making fun of you.” Himmel Soan examined the wounds on Rustam’s back.
“Sir, thank you for saving me again!” Rustam was thrilled.
He had to be an idiot not to realize what had happened. The gentleman must have saved him from death!
He saw the phoenix spitting out a small ball of fire, so he immediately shielded Himmel Soan with his own body.
The attack was from behind. He thought even his savior couldn’t withstand it.
Himmel Soan had saved him once, so he wanted to return the favor. However, he worried too much because he got saved once more.
“I can tell from the pits on the ground and the wounds on your back that the bird has been playing you.
“It can kill you in an instant, but it gave you all these injuries. It doesn’t want to kill you. Maybe it hasn’t had enough fun yet.”
Himmel Soan activated his spiritual essence to treat the wounds on Rustam’s back, a gift from the phoenix.
There were three bloody scratches. They weren’t shallow cuts, but they weren’t deep enough to kill Rustam.
The bird did it on purpose.
“I saw that, too. It turned me into a circus monkey. The fireballs came slowly and would deliberately miss me. It enjoyed seeing me getting flustered.
“I gave up once and stopped dodging. That was when it left the scratches on my back.” Rustam sighed.
He was only a Virtualization cultivator. There was nothing he could do to a sacred beast. It was like when he went to see the eight emperors. He wouldn’t dare look them in the eye.
Hence, he could only be played like a circus monkey.
If the gentleman hadn’t arrived, the sacred beast would keep treating him like a toy. When the phoenix was bored, or he was exhausted, this nonsense would end.
“Master, I…” Firey looked eagerly at the bird.
She knew she couldn’t defeat the fire phoenix, or she would have charged at it and turned it into her food.
The bird and Firey had the same attribute. Absorbing the fire phoenix would benefit her greatly. The fire phoenix felt the same way.
“Human, let’s make a deal. He can leave with you if you give her to me!” the fire phoenix suddenly started talking.
Himmel Soan wasn’t surprised. Even Firey had taken a human form; a talking fire phoenix was completely normal. Maybe the bird could become a human one day, too.
“Why should I trade with you? Why do I have to choose one? Can’t I have them both?” Himmel Soan smiled.
He would like to communicate in a civilized way. To know the Dusk Soul Forest, the best way was to ask the natives here.
The fire phoenix didn’t get angry. Instead, she found the human being rather amusing.
“I’ve lived for many years. You’re the first human that can keep his composure in front of me. Alright, I’ll let you take them both under one condition.
“Fight with me. If you win, they can leave with you. If not, the three of you will be my toys!”
The fire phoenix sounded relaxed, but she was very cautious. She didn’t think Himmel Soan was an ordinary man, but she couldn’t see anything special about him either.
He had no signs of spiritual essence. He was like a corpse with a beating heart. However, such a man had just parried her attack.
