Chapter 963: Chapter 0960: Phoenix Body (Third Update, Alliance Hierarch Extra 28/147) Chapter 963: Chapter 0960: Phoenix Body (Third Update, Alliance Hierarch Extra 28/147) “Oh!”
Unexpectedly, Leo firmly refused!
“Let’s talk logic. If it weren’t for you absorbing all the Volcanic Super Magic at the Doomsday Volcano Crater, the Phoenix wouldn’t have possibly failed to receive enough magic power to hatch… Of course, I don’t bla you. Unclaid resources go to whoever seizes them first, and besides, Fla Island is my turf.”
He was rapidly engaging in a ntal exchange and negotiation with Leo.
Talking logic was futile, and in the end, he had to use Red Dragon Water for the trade. As his stocks continued to dwindle, Liszt was left with just over fifty vials of Red Dragon Water.
Leo quickly laid out his final price—fifty vials.
He intended to squeeze Liszt of all his stock in one go.
“Fine!” During this critical mont, Liszt couldn’t afford to haggle. After all, both hands were his own dragons; giving the Red Dragon Water to Leo wasn’t a loss.
Quickly,
he placed his hand on the Phoenix Egg, and Leo’s Dragon Super Magic passed through his hand and flowed into the egg along the Dou Qi ridians. It was like parched earth receiving sweet rain; the Phoenix Egg felt the essence of Dragon Super Magic and began to absorb it frantically. A continuous influx of Dragon Super Magic entered the Phoenix Egg, making the golden light on the egg shine brightly again.
The Phoenix could hatch at any mont.
However, trouble struck suddenly.
Right at that instant, Leo, who was attached to Liszt’s chest, used lightning speed to rally his magic power. He not only withdrew all the leaked Dragon Super Magic but also quickly absorbed all the magic power within the egg into Liszt’s body.
Then, the essence of the Phoenix Egg began to flow towards its attached location—Leo was reneging on the deal, intending to directly devour the Phoenix Egg.
“Stop, Leo!”
Liszt had no ti to express his anger at Leo’s actions. He had overestimated the good nature of the wicked dragon, thinking that appealing to its emotions, reasoning with it, and luring it with benefits would lead to compromise.
He never expected that at such a mont, Leo, driven by desire, would go back on his word.
The Phoenix Egg lost its luster at a visible rate, turning into a dull red stone the size of a soccer ball in the blink of an eye, and all its essence, along with the magic power extracted by Leo, entered Liszt’s body. Even that faint primal consciousness also entered Liszt’s body, quickly linking with his own thoughts.
He could feel that pure, untainted soul, which had yet to form a complete “Phoenix personality,” now faced with the brink of collapse.
Leo’s thoughts were brimming with greed, wanting to consu all that was the Phoenix.
Yet, in that mont, Liszt acted decisively, quickly mobilizing his Dragon Dou Qi, forcibly cutting off Leo’s magic power and quelling its avarice for the Phoenix essence.
He then attempted to reverse the flow of Dou Qi, trying to send the Phoenix essence back into the egg—being unable to incubate it for now didn’t matter; he could always try again when the opportunity arose.
Alas.
With the extraction of the Phoenix essence, the nature of the Phoenix Egg had changed and could no longer receive any magic power. The Phoenix essence, in just the snap of a finger, rged into Liszt’s own body, thoroughly integrating into every limb, every bone, perating to the depths of his cells.
Moreover, the Phoenix’s primal soul was pulled by the power in his mind into his own soul.
His spiritual power, already empowered by the Power of Destiny, swelled even further at this mont, filling his mind with countless pieces of information.
The most tangible manifestation was in his eyes, where flas flickered and danced.
“Inheritance… Phoenix… Have I actually rged with the Phoenix, or has my body beco the vessel for the rebirth of the Phoenix?”
The stream of information was too overwhelming, all imprinted with the natural instincts from the Phoenix Bloodline.
This made Liszt instantly understand what had just happened—the Phoenix, possessing the divine ability of rebirth from flas, had been outmaneuvered by Leo and, at the brink of life’s extinction, driven by instinct, it rged its divine power with Liszt’s body, hoping to be reborn through him.
What would happen after the rebirth was unknown.
Would Liszt acquire everything the Phoenix had, or would the Phoenix replace Liszt, or perhaps coexist within the sa body?
However, none of this happened. The Power of Destiny intervened, the power of the Smoke Dragon that clung to Liszt’s body directly pulled the original Phoenix soul to nurture Liszt’s own soul. Thus, the Phoenix’s rebirth power went dormant and sank deep into Liszt’s body.
“What a pity, the world has lost the Phoenix…”
He sighed.
But the next mont, his eyes flared with a dazzling light, “But now, I am the Phoenix!” Imdiately after, flas rose from his body.
The next second.
Liszt’s hands as if rapidly lting into flas, out of the flas erged a pair of wings adorned with golden-yellow feathers. He beat his wings fiercely and leaped with his legs, elevating swiftly into the air, circling the spherical cavern in flight, the flas on his body becoming more intense, completely rging him with the fire.
The flas did not extinguish, but what they enveloped was no longer a human, but a golden-red Phoenix bathed in flas.
A magnificent, slender body, golden and red feathers gleaming like gemstones, overall similar to a Fla Dragon Bird, yet flas accompanied every part of the body at all tis.
At its tail were not seven, but nine tail feathers made of flas.
Gold and red cast reflections off each other, flas and feathers rged into one, at this mont, the Phoenix that Liszt had transford into was the fla, and the fla was the Phoenix.
“A marvelous sensation, a magical experience. Leo’s miscalculated sche, although failing to hatch a Phoenix, gave a power similar to Druid Shapeshifting!”
The essence of the Phoenix had rged into every limb and cell, much like the genetic codex of the Child of the Sun; it was likely a shift magic built at the genetic level. And his soul had conveniently devoured the Phoenix’s original soul, effortlessly wielding this power born of the Phoenix.
“Oh-ho!”
Leo, still attached to Liszt, now in the form of the Phoenix, lusted after the Phoenix’s power but could no longer seize it.
A thought crossed his mind.
Liszt retracted the power of the Phoenix, reverting to his human form. A Dou Qi Armant redressed him in clothes, to avoid any indecent exposure—even in a place devoid of people, one mustn’t carelessly reveal oneself.
He swiftly placed the now dim and lightless Phoenix Egg and the extinguished Tinderpile into his Space Ring.
Looking at the Phoenix Bloodstone on the cavern walls, he fell into contemplation.
Before long, Serpent Script ford from smoke fluttered before his eyes: “Mission failed, you have devoured the Phoenix.”
This was his second ti failing a Smoke Mission, the first being the failed evolution of the Tulip Spirit Bug, and now the failed hatching of the Phoenix.
Regrettable indeed, but he had also gained a blessing in disguise, the ability to transform into a Phoenix.
“After returning, I must hasten the restrictions on Leo, completing the Mind Branding as soon as possible to avoid such situations in the future.” He couldn’t hold a grudge against Leo; an Evil Dragon was its nature, everything stemd from its instincts—he could only bla himself for insufficient preparation, for not having complete control over Leo.
At that mont.
A new Smoke Mission was issued.
“Mission: The demise of extraordinary phenona often heralds the transition of eras, and even destiny is subject to ceaseless change. You must learn to make the right choices amongst various changes, to grasp the laws governing the workings of the world, and ensure the legacy of the Phoenix endures. Reward: Hundred Birds Toward The Phoenix.”
