Chapter 111: Legendary Beasts Successor (2)
Translator: HH Editor: HH
Yeon-woo quickly cupped his hand and lifted Chirpy out . And the defense mechanism that had been in place quietly disappeared .
Chirpy looked critical . His breathing was faint and his chest was heaving .
Yeon-woo placed Chirpy out and poured his magic power out to him .
At the same time, he activated his heat skill and warmed Chirpy .
He thought heat might help Chirpy because he was of fire property .
Fortunately, as time passed, Chirpy started breathing more normally .
Yeon-woo set his skill up so Chirpy would be able to continuously receive warmth and looked around .
‘How big of a fight happened? And where’s the Phoenix?’
It was clear someone had attacked .
But when thought about logically, it wasn’t just one or two things that were off .
Clearly, the fight was over . It wouldn’t be this quiet if it wasn’t .
Also, there needed to be more evidence of a fight, but this much wasn’t enough .
He couldn’t even know if the attackers had been successful or not .
The Phoenix boasted a big size . It was impossible to completely get rid of her once she was killed . But there weren’t even signs of her being dragged away .
There were only questions left behind .
Yeon-woo thought that he would only get the whole story when Chirpy woke up .
And once 10 minutes had passed, thankfully, Chirpy woke up, fluttering his eyelashes .
“Chirpy . ”
Chirp… .
As soon as Chirpy saw Yeon-woo he let out a tired sound and tears dripped down from his eye .
He couldn’t communicate with Yeon-woo because he was still young, but he seemed like he had a lot to say .
Yeon-woo quietly stroked his head . As if saying it was all okay now . To not worry anymore .
Chirpy trembled . And with the strengthened connection, the incident from a few hours ago flashed by his eyes like a panorama .
“Are you the Phoenix? You’re as big as expected . Extremely . ”
Yeon-woo raised his head towards the source of the voice . But strangely, he couldn’t move his neck .
He could only see things through a small hole .
Yeon-woo realized what he was seeing .
‘This is Chirpy’s view . ’
It seemed to be the situation when Chirpy was hidden by the defense mechanism from earlier .
Chirpy tried as hard as he could to get out, but something strong blocked him .
The force that was blocking him had the Phoenix’s aura . The Phoenix had tightly put it in place so Chirpy couldn’t get out .
So he wouldn’t get hurt and get caught by the attackers .
[I have never allowed the entry of humans . Also, I have never invaded the humans’ territory either . ]
“Is that important?”
[It is . Since that is the standard that splits good and evil will . At the very least, I don’t have any evil will towards humans . ]
“Then I’m sorry . We definitely brought evil will with us . We need your Neidan . ”
[… . . What an arrogant human . Do you know how it ends for fools like you?]
“I don’t . But I know this well . ”
Someone stepped forward while scoffing . In the darkness, the Phoenix’s eyes could be seen, filled with annoyance .
“That the ending will be different this time . ”
And a large sword was pulled out . The space to see outside was too small to see the face of the attacker, but Yeon-woo recognized the pattern on the blade .
There was only one person who used that in the entire Tower .
‘The Saber God!’
Cheonghwado was an ‘island’ of people who dedicated their lives to martial arts .
They only work on getting stronger, and they trained their martial arts to the extreme .
So in Cheonghwado, people who used artifacts or magic tended to be looked down upon . It was important to be acknowledged just for your strength, and your strength alone .
Because importance was placed on individual training, their personalities were self-centered .
But on the other hand, they were also focused on being a collective group, because there was a clear hierarchy between them .
The Saber God was the closest to being a ‘martialist’ out of all of them .
He was strict in self-maintenance, and he lived a restricted life without enjoying women or alcohol .
His everything was centered on his sword .
And even we had to be careful when he pulled out his nine swords all at once .
Cheonghwado had the most members as an organization .
But of the Eight Clans, they had the least clan members, and they fell behind in power .
But there was one reason why Cheonghwado was judged so highly .
A small elite . And the 5 Martial Gods .
The Martial Gods were extremely strong . Each of them were at the top of the high rankers .
‘One of those guys came here… . ’
Yeon-woo was brought back to reality .

That was the end of Chirpy’s memory . Because he had fainted from the shock of what happened next .
But Yeon-woo could tell what had occurred here .
The sudden appearance of the Saber God .
And .
‘The Phoenix, dead . ’
He was sure .
The Phoenix was dead . Chirpy could feel that, and he cried until he didn’t have any tears left to cry . The death of his mom was too much for him, who had only been born one month ago .
Yeon-woo tightly held Chirpy until he calmed down .
Chirpy cried until his shirt was completely soaked .
‘The Phoenix realized her fate from the beginning . So she thought I might come to save Chirpy, so she protected him . ’
Yeon-woo grinded his teeth .
‘Is the reason why Cheonghwado sought after the Phoenix because of her Neidan?’
He couldn’t think of any other reason why Cheonghwado would try to catch such a difficult Legendary Beast .
And it wasn’t like Cheonghwado and the Phoenix had any relationship .
Yeon-woo grinded his teeth again . Right now, he was on Cheonghwado’s side as he was with the One-horned tribe . But Chirpy had become Cheonghwado’s enemy .
Chirpy had no one to lean on except for him .
That’s what the Phoenix had thought as well, and she left Chirpy to him .
He couldn’t take Chirpy to Cheongheado .
Of course, leaving him behind wasn’t even an option .
Yeon-woo didn’t even consider that thought .
While he was staying at the nest for over one month, Phoenix and Chirpy had grown to be his family .
Even if Chirpy hadn’t asked for it, he was going to avenge the Phoenix .
‘But right now it’s difficult to switch sides . ’
For him, both sides were going to be ones he destroyed anyway, but he couldn’t just switch now .
Red Dragon was probably aware of him by now . Also, he had killed Shanon . It would be weird if no one tried to kill him for doing that .
‘Let’s think about it after going back . ’
First, he was going to return to his room and organize his thoughts . He needed to find out about Cheonghwado’s plans after going back .
‘If the Phoenix died, there’s a chance the other Legendary Beasts will be sought after too . I should find out about that as well . ’
And this place wouldn’t be good for Chirpy’s mental health either .
He was also going to try to find out why the Phoenix’s body wasn’t there either .

And so he stood up with Chirpy in his arms .
But suddenly, a flame appeared in the middle of the air in front of him .
It was a flame of various colors . It was the Flame of Life . And it wasn’t the Flame of Life that his egg had received . It was the original . The spark .
[…Thankfully, you’ve found my child . It’s a relief . Really . ]
“Phoenix?”
The familiar voice widened his eyes .
Was she alive somewhere? But the Phoenix didn’t respond to him . This was just a will .
[The one called Saber God . He was very strong . I tried to save the youngest, at the very least……It’s a relief that you didn’t forget about Chirpy . This might be the fate of you and Chirpy, it could be a blessing . ]
The Phoenix continued in a grateful tone .
[Also . Don’t be too angry that I died . I don’t know if you remember, but I’m one who dies and comes back alive with the flame . I’ve disappeared for now, but I’ll be born again . There’s no need for you to avenge me . ]
No .
Even with the words of the Phoenix, Yeon-woo knew that wasn’t it . The Phoenix would definitely be reborn . However, no one knew how long it would take . Also, even if she was reborn… . she would be leading another life, separate from this one .
No one knew what kind of thoughts and standards the new Phoenix would have . It would be a completely different existence to Chirpy . Death was death . And that was it
But the reason for Phoenix’s words were simple . To console Yeon-woo, so he wouldn’t do anything foolish . Also, Chirpy needed someone to lean on .
[So don’t be too angry, and take care of my child until I return . If it takes some time…just take care of him until he can survive on his own . I’m asking you for a favor . ]
The Phoenix worried about her children until her very last breath .
[Of course, I won’t just ask you to take care of him…]
And at that moment, the flame suddenly soared up . And it split into pieces and wrapped Yeon-woo .
[… . It’s very weak, but it’ll help you and the youngest going forward . ]
The flames started to blend into his skin .
[The Phoenix has chosen you as her heir . According to her will, the ‘Flame of Life (Original)’ is being given to you . ]
[The former contract with the Legendary Beast has strengthened . ]
[It is reacting with ‘Heaven Wing Mana Control . ’ The skill ‘Flame Infusion’ is reacting to the Flame of Life . ]
[Magic Circuit is preparing to accept the Flame of Life . ]
[Your body has opened . ]
[The succession process is being started . ]
Yeon-woo felt like all the cells in his body were opening up . He didn’t try to fight against it . He knew this was the last present the Phoenix was giving him .
The flames were absorbed through his open pores to his Magic Circuit, Cores, and his bones .
He couldn’t explain the feeling in words . At first, it was warm, like being hugged by his mom .

But then, an intense pain followed . Because of the pain, his muscles burned .
But Yeon-woo didn’t let out a sound .
He knew from studying Inner Cultivation that if he opened his mouth, energy would leave his body . Yeon-woo wasn’t planning on wasting anything the Phoenix had given him .
And even when he became dizzy, he held on .
[The proficiency of ‘Heaven Wing Mana Control’ is increasing . 27, 28, 29… . . 33%… . . ]
[The proficiency of ‘Flame Infusion’ is dramatically increasing . 57, 58… . . 71, 72…91%]
The flames dug into all the circuits he hadn’t found before . It burned away all the obstacles and paved its own path . The occasional explosions occurring in his body shook his body .
[The remaining center circuits 3 and 5 are opening . ]
[The remaining large circuits… . . ]
Status messages popped up continuously .
One would’ve thought this breaking up of the circuits would destroy his body, but because holy power was also included in it, his body healed faster than ever .
*Crash*
And at that moment, Yeon-woo felt something different than the expected pain . It was joy .
Joy from his ‘tier’ increasing .
[All magic circuits have been opened . ]
[The succession process had been finished . ]
[The title ‘Phoenix’s Successor’ has been earned . ]
[Strength has increased by 5 . ]
[Dexterity has increased by 5]
[Affinity with fire property has increased by 30 . You have gained a part of the qualification of fire property . ]
Congratulations! The proficiency of the skill ‘Flame Infusion’ has reached 100%, and a superior skill ‘Heat Wave’ has been unlocked .
[Your title is being applied to ‘Heat Wave’, and it is being replaced with another skill . The qualification of fire property is being applied and the skill is being evolved to a superior skill . ]
[The skill ‘Holy Fire (Numbering 050)’ has been created . ]
