< Chapter 33 - Phoenix #4 >
widely-
Uther, who had landed almost like a feather thanks to the gorgeous golden whirlwind, let Cordelia down, and the red wind landed with a thud.
“Be careful, if you cross that line, an attack will begin immediately.”
Cordelia spoke softly and immediately lit up her magic light to drive away the darkness.
“Indeed, this is the food of the high elves. It seems that the nameless spirit warrior was indeed a high elf.”
Uther and Cordelia looked away as they listened to the rough avalanche’s words.
Inside the straight seal, a rock egg with a phoenix seal was visible.
“Are you ready?”
“I’m ready.”
“What about the red wind?”
“I’m ready too.”
“Okay, then let’s go.”
“Shouldn’t I ask?”
The series of voices ended in a harsh avalanche.
Uther just looked straight ahead, but the kind Cordelia opened her mouth for the rough avalanche.
“Are you ready, Mr. Rough Snow Avalanche?”
“It was done.”
“Okay, then let’s go.”
When Cordelia patted Uther on the back, Uther nodded.
I pictured the original dungeon in my head.
‘A series of ignorant traps.’
Perhaps because it was the seal of the Phoenix, a series of relentless flame attacks continued.
But if you knew where, what kind of attack, and how it would come, you could have responded sufficiently.
“Large formation complete. Let’s go!”
thud!
Uder took the lead, kicking the ground.
A barrage of flames poured down from above his head for a moment, but Uder did not hesitate and raised his right hand high. He created a shield with Count Chase’s ring to block the flames, and passed through the flame zone in less than a second.
“Cold chill!”
And Cordelia ran right behind her. Cordelia had her cold attribute set to full effect, so even a simple flame couldn’t do any damage. She pushed away the flames that had already lost some of their momentum after Uther passed by with cold magic, so she was able to pass through with ease.
“Wow!”
The rough avalanche just ran, and so did the red wind. Since the red wind was originally set to full fire attribute, it was strong against fire in a different sense than Cordelia.
“Keep going!”
“Let’s go!”
This time Cordelia took the lead.
He used his telekinesis, which had cold properties on both sides, to block the flames from reaching him in advance, and Uder stepped forward and deployed a shield to block the flames that had suddenly come flying in.
“Wow!”
The rough avalanche just kept running this time, and the red wind wasn’t much different.
Five times like that.
Finally, after breaking through the trap zone, Uther and Cordelia exchanged a glance and then took action.
“Sword of Calamite!”
It was a version of the Calamite spear that he always used, changed into a sword.
Cordelia, holding the pitch-black flame sword, cut through the magic circle drawn on the floor and destroyed the seal itself.
Quagaga-!
Sparks flew from the ground, magical energy gushed out in all directions, and the Red Wind swallowed its breath. It swung the blessed bludgeon it was holding in its hand and struck the rock egg.
Quagga River-!
Lightning struck.
The rock egg shattered with a thunderous sound, and at that moment a huge roar shook the entire sealed area.
“Kiaaaaaaa-!”
It was the roar of the phoenix, reminiscent of the rising sun that illuminates the morning.
My eyes were filled with flames, and yellow filled my vision.
The heat felt like it would melt my whole body.
“Wow!”
At that very moment, a rough avalanche suddenly jumped up. Yuder snatched the rough avalanche and pushed it into the location he had calculated in advance.
Quagaga-!
A tidal wave of flames – or rather, a blizzard of flames just beginning to form – collided with a violent avalanche.
A wild god, albeit weakened.
It was also a wild avalanche god, a rough avalanche that ruled over a rocky mountain.
The flames were blocked by the strong power of cold, and the flames of death that arose as the Phoenix awoke were canceled out and extinguished.
“Kwaa!”
Yuder, who had quickly recovered from the rough avalanche that was screaming but not screaming, raised his head. The awakened Phoenix had made a big splash and was flying out.
“Hurry up!”
“coalescence!”
Uther, who ran towards Dododo and hugged Cordelia, ran after the Phoenix, and the Red Wind followed after him, carrying the rough Avalanche that was tossing and turning.
And right after that.
“Kiaa!”
The phoenix screamed as it tried to fly out of the seal.
It was because of the cold magic circle spread by the shamans of the Great Storm Tribe waiting outside the seal.
“okay!”
In the original, the Phoenix had to fight the Red Wind with its own strength, but that was not the case anymore.
And that’s what you can do.
An easy and quick strategy that you couldn’t try in the original!
“Cha-ha-ha!”
Yuder, who had kicked the wall, flew up in one breath and escaped through the hole. He rolled on the floor once while still holding Cordelia, and then quickly got up.
“Koooo!”
The Phoenix roared and charged towards Frostwind, the arch-shaman of the Great Storm Tribe.
It was as expected and as planned.
“Cordelia!”
“okay!”
Kwagagagagaga-!
The frost wind and the sorcerers’ spells stopped the Phoenix.
The Phoenix, which was about to attack the frost wind like a hawk catching its prey, was momentarily tied to the ground, and Cordelia took advantage of the gap.
“frieze!”
A simple cold binding spell.
But what was important was that the user was Cordelia.
‘Double casting! There’s an echo of the spell!’
One order became four in an instant.
There, Cordelia added the power she had gained by reaching level 60.
“Freeze! Freeze! Freeze!”
High-speed window.
A unique skill exclusive to wizards that allows them to use magic in rapid succession.
Because it was a relatively simple magic called Freeze, he was able to use it four times in a row despite his low proficiency in high-speed casting.
And all of this with double casting and echo of the spell –
“Kkaaa!”
The Phoenix screamed in pain, and something amazing happened. The Phoenix’s entire body began to freeze.
“Freeze 16 consecutive hits!”
Uther screamed, and Cordelia started bleeding from her nose.
It was because I used magic too quickly.
But Cordelia did not give in and swallowed the potion. Uther ran forward and struck the magic circles he had drawn all night long.
“Fix magic! Reduce magic resistance!”
Increases the duration of magic already cast and reduces the enemy’s magic resistance.
It was the fire spirit Phoenix, whose entire body was made of flames. In order to maintain its frozen state, it had to work quite hard on its own.
“Okay! Let’s go for a combo!”
Cordelia wiped the blood flowing from her nose while wiping her lips, shouted in a proud tone and casted Freeze 16 times again. It froze the already frozen Phoenix even more.
“Kkaaa!”
Even during this time, the Phoenix continued to scream.
No, I could do it.
This is because Uther and Cordelia adjusted their magic so that only the Phoenix’s head would not freeze.
If so, why is that?
Why was the head left behind?
“Red Wind!”
“Head! Head! Head! Head!”
Cordelia shouted at the Red Wind, who had belatedly emerged from the hole along with the rough avalanche. And the Red Wind responded to her shout.
I swung the blessed blunt weapon, shouting at my head just as I had learned yesterday.
“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!”
As a fire spirit without a physical body, the Phoenix was immune to most physical attacks, but the Red Wind’s attacks were an exception.
The blunt weapon, blessed by the three wild gods of the Wild Gods—the Wild Avalanche, the Fine Snow Wind, and the Great Tempest—struck the very spirit of the Phoenix.
“Head! Head! Head! Head!”
The red wind was beating the head of the phoenix madly, as it was frozen and unable to move.
The Phoenix screamed and tried to break the ice, but it was impossible. Uther and Cordelia would not allow it.
“Freeze 16 consecutive hits!”
“Fix magic! Reduce magic resistance!”
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Just when it seemed like the ice was starting to break, the cold air came rushing in again.
Because of the lowered magical power, the Red Wind’s attacks hit harder.
“Ugh! Ugh!”
“Head!”
The red wind did not stop. It continued to attack continuously while sweating profusely, and Yuder calculated in his head the stamina of the Phoenix, the attack power of the red wind, and the total number of attacks that would have to be launched.
“Just 50 more!”
“Eek?!”
It was the Phoenix that swallowed its screams at Uther’s shout.
50 more to come.
50 years old or more.
“Kkyaak!”
Cordelia looked back at the rough avalanche as the Phoenix screamed loudly.
When I looked at him with a look of hope for interpretation, he understood me perfectly and said.
“They say they’d rather kill me with a single sword.”
“indeed.”
But it was impossible.
Red Wind didn’t have that ability yet.
I just work hard and hit them one by one to get to 50.
“Tsk tsk tsk, how did I get caught by these?”
The rough snowball, which was clicking its tongue, paid silent tribute to the still-living phoenix.
And in the meantime, Uther looked back at Cordelia and asked.
“Can you do it one more time?”
“I’ll try!”
In fact, Cordelia was dizzy, but she spoke cheerfully on purpose and chanted Freeze again.
At first glance it seemed like a relaxed situation, but in fact it was anything but.
The Phoenix was barely holding on thanks to the magic circle that the shamans of the Great Storm Tribe had put together with all their might, so if they let their guard down even for a moment, the thing would break the ice and escape.
“Red Wind! Hurry up!”
As Cordelia said, this was the last time she could cast Freeze consecutively.
At Yuder’s urging, Red Wind once again let out a roar and swung his blunt weapon.
“Head!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The red wind that had been riding on the back of the phoenix and unleashing a triple attack flinched for a moment before flying away.
It was because I felt the ‘taste’ the moment I launched the final attack.
“Okay! I’ve reached my 50s!”
Uther shouted, supporting the staggering Cordelia, and Cordelia could see.
Tsuhwaaaa-!
The ice that sealed the Phoenix melted.
And the flame of the Phoenix also died down.
But it only lasted a moment.
A small flame rose again in the air. The flame started out yellow, then turned blue, then red, and then bloomed into a large flame, forming a new bird of flame.
“Ahhhh!”
It was a clear and refreshing voice.
Just like in the original, the evil phoenix died and a new, pure and clear baby phoenix was born.
“Wow······.”
The Red Wind swung its blunt weapon and exclaimed in admiration, as did the shamans of the Great Storm Tribe.
But instead, Uther and Cordelia swallowed dryly in a nervous state.
In some ways, this moment was more important than taking down the Phoenix.
‘Become the master of the red wind!’
As Uder shouted inwardly, the phoenix rose from the air and looked around at everyone on the ground.
“Oh, our eyes met.”
The moment Cordelia said that, the baby phoenix suddenly trembled and flew towards the red wind. It looked as if it was running away.
“Well, that’s better than nothing, it’s an excellent choice.”
Cordelia narrowed her eyes at the explanation of the rough avalanche, but soon smiled brightly. It was because of the phoenix sitting on the shoulder of the red wind.
“It seems to be working properly.”
The newly born phoenix acknowledged the Red Wind as its master.
Red Wind cautiously reached out to the Phoenix, and the Phoenix, still small as it was newly born – a little bigger than a pigeon – responded by climbing onto Red Wind’s hand.
That’s what it means.
“Will you join me?”
When Red Wind asked in the language of the wild lands, Phoenix nodded, and rubbed his head against Red Wind’s cheek as if forming a contract.
“Hehehe. It’s the Phoenix! The Phoenix!”
Red Wind smiled brightly and looked at Uther and Cordelia, and the two sighed with relieved faces, then smiled as if they had made a promise.
“I did something.”
“I did it. I made some money.”
“Huh? Income?”
What does it mean? The Phoenix has become the Red Wind.
When Cordelia tilted her head, Uther smiled and took out what he had taken with him when he escaped from the seal.
Golden feathers with a hint of red.
An object imbued with the power of powerful flames as well as the power of regeneration.
“The Feather of the Phoenix.”
That too, of an immortal bird that is over a thousand years old.
“Wow.”
As Cordelia exclaimed in childlike admiration, Uther smiled and took out a feather and placed it in her hair.
He said with a refreshing smile.
“Do you like it?”
“Yeah! I like it!”
Cordelia answered right away and laughed like the red wind, then straightened her posture again and said.
“Okay, there are 6 days left. When we get back, we’ll start special training right away.”
It wasn’t a feat to just get the phoenix.
From now on, the Red Wind had to imprint on his mind and body how to handle the Phoenix and how to fight the Sun Song for the remaining time.
Uder nodded and said.
“Yeah, you practice from time to time too.”
“Ugh······.”
practice.
Cordelia’s face was a mess, and Uther, with a pleased smile on his face, thanked Gale and Adelia.
