[The growth of your body has been confirmed . Spirit Tier(靈格) has increased and the paused succession process will resume . ]
[Current Progress: 99 . 8%]
Yeon-woo felt the joy gradually disappearing from his body and opened his eyes . And at the moment, the emotion he felt wasn’t a happy feeling like joy or pride .
Emptiness .
It felt like his entire body was his body . He felt unsated .
‘The vessel is bigger . ’
It wasn’t because the magic power had left, or anything like that . His magic power had actually increased, with the magic power the Phoenix left him .
But even with the overall increase, his vessel had grown to a size that made him feel empty inside .
The opening of all the magic circuits . Not only did the circuits he didn’t even try opening, but all the tiny little circuits had opened .
It was because the Phoenix’s fire had made a ruckus breaking all the obstacles in its way to open the circuits . And since holy power had been added to the mix, healing him at the same time .
Magic Circuit became larger and sturdier than before .
The process that would’ve taken him forever was finished in a single moment . Also, Yeon-woo could feel the Holy Fire left in his body . It was right next to his heart . Where the ‘stone’ was .
‘Why did it go there?’
The stone that Leonte had tried to create, but failed . He had ignored it because he couldn’t do anything to it no matter how hard he tried . But why did the Phoenix’s spark go there?
He focused all his will on there, but the stone remained still . Instead, the fire that had been absorbed in the flame came out along the Magic Circuit and arrived at his hand .
A blue fire shot up from Yeon-woo’s hand . It turned into a variety of colors: red, gold, and purple .
The flame that the Phoenix had been maintaining . It was a holy fire that controlled regeneration and resurrection . It was also the origin of the Flame of Life he received .
That was what the Phoenix had left for him . And befitting of its owner, it’s power was amazing .
[Holy Fire]
Numbering 050
Proficiency: 0 . 0%
Description: The flame that defines the Phoenix, who is the symbol of resurrection and regeneration . Some say it is the first fire to ever have existed . It’s a pure fire that many gods desire .
*Purification
It burns demons and curses . It shows a great immunity and resistance to devil property . The strength of this power grows with the proficiency of the skill, and heals a part of the body .
*Blessing of Fire
Holy Fire is known as the first fire to exist . It has authority over all other fire properties and high resistance to them . It can show a control of fire .
Numbering 50!
It was the first numbering skill he had received after Bathory’s Vampiric Sword . Holy Fire was the absolute enemy of any evil related properties, since it was a power that pushed away darkness and purified curses and demons .
‘It would’ve been impossible to use it with the Black Bracelet under normal conditions, but good thing I have that trait . ’
He thought it was a relief that he had the Manfriendly trait . With it, it was definitely possible to use Holy Fire and the Black Bracelet at the same time .
Yeon-woo was able to realize just how powerful his trait was with this new development .
[‘Aegis’ is strongly reacting . ]
[The purification of ‘Vigrid’ is speeding up . ]
He could feel Aegis and Vigrid slightly shaking on his back . It seemed they were glad he received a skill that was compatible with them .
But he didn’t really understand what the control of fire meant . Did it mean he could move fire any way he wanted to?
He knew it wasn’t something that you could receive from a mere skill . And on top of that, it was hard to say exactly what defined fire .
He would need to test a few things to find out what it meant .
Anyway .
Yeon-woo once again thanked the Phoenix in his mind . She had fast forwarded his growth by a few years . Even opening all the magic circuits was a huge development for him .
And Holy Fire was a skill of the Phoenix and the Phoenix alone, so it wasn’t something he could’ve gotten . It was uncomparable to Lizard King Hargan’s Heat Wave .
But actually, this wasn’t just simply an act of kindness from the Phoenix like Yeon-woo thought . Conditions needed to be fulfilled to receive this skill . If he had neglected Chirpy and left him alone despite knowing the situation he was in, the succession process would never have taken place .
Only with concern for Chirpy and pity for the Phoenix was he able to receive this skill . And also, it was the desperate last wish of a mother who wanted their child to be taken care of .
At that moment .
Chirp!
Chirpy quietly opened his eyes .
“How’s your body?’
Chirp… . .
Chirpy nodded his head . He had gotten better from receiving fire from Yeon-woo .
“But you should still rest . This place is messy, so let’s leave first . ”
Chirp chirp!
Suddenly, Chirpy shot up and urgently shook his head . He was still tired, but he seemed to want to say something .
“We have to save the other Legendary Beasts?”
Chirp!
“But you… . . ”
Chirp chirp!
Chirpy jumped up and down in his spot . He somehow tried to change Yeon-woo’s mind .
Yeon-woo muttered to himself . The Saber God was planning on getting rid of the rest of the Legendary Beasts . And honestly, Yeon-woo didn’t really care about what happened to them .
He didn’t really have a way to stop the Saber God anyway, since he was on Cheonghwado’s side .
But Chirpy was telling him not to . He said that the same thing that happened to him shouldn’t happen to the other Legendary Beasts .
He should’ve been tired . But he put the other existences before him .
He was a warm and commendable fellow .
Chirp?
At Chirpy’s continued request, Yeon-woo had no choice but to nod his head .
“Ok . ”
Chirp!
“But there’s a limit to how much I can help . I can’t even catch up to the Saber God’s shadow even if I go now . ”
Despite his recent improvements, Yeon-woo was still lacking, especially when compared to the high ranker Saber God .
That was reality . And no matter how much Yeon-woo wanted to take revenge, he always had a grasp on reality . The moment he became blind for revenge, it would only grow further away from him .
Rather, he had to be more logical and calm about the situation .
Chirpy nodded as if he knew what Yeon-woo was trying to say, along with words that they should escape as soon as the situation became dangerous .
Yeon-woo got up with Chirpy after deciding what to do .
The closest Legendary Beasts’ stage was the Void Dragon in the East .
He was planning on visiting that territory first .
And so he began to move, but a familiar face suddenly appeared in the Phoenix’s territory .
Yeon-woo settled the nervous Chirpy by explaining she was a friend and went towards Edora .
“How did you come here?”
“I saw you rushing here, and I was worried . ”
Edora let out a breath of relief . On the way here, she had lost his trail and took a long time to finally get here .
“But where is… . ?”
“Where I was staying . Seems like Cheonghwado is hunting all of the Legendary Beasts . ”
Edora widened her eyes at hearing Yeon-woo’s story . And she saw Chirpy, who was being held in Yeon-woo’s arms .
The clever girl was able to read Yeon-woo’s thoughts right away . The fact that he was planning on completely breaking away from Cheonghwado .
“I won’t ask you to help . I don’t plan to ask the One-horned tribe to help me either . But I hope you don’t disturb me . ”
“That… . ”
She had been against him participating in this stupid war . But she hadn’t even imagined they would be on different sides . She bit her lower lip . And all kinds of thoughts went through her head .
And when she made her decision, she pulled her sword closer to her chest .
“… . Then I’ll go with you . ”
Yeon-woo shook his head .
“You don’t need to feel guilty . There’s no need to go that far…”
“No . I want to help . Also, personally, I didn’t like how Cheonghwado forced our tribe into this war . ”
“But Seseung-nim won’t like that . ”
“It’s been a while since I stopped listening to my father . And isn’t that something you shouldn’t be saying considering you’ve only been his disciple for a short time?”
“Is that so?”
Yeon-woo lightly smirked and let out a laugh . And he suddenly had a thought . That if it was the Martial King . Rather than being angry by this situation, he would be amused .
‘Of course, he’s not going to go easy on us just because we’re his disciple and daughter . ’
The Martial King was that kind of person .
“I’ll lead the way since I know where to go . ”
“Ok . ”
Once they made their decision, Yeon-woo and Edora left without any hesitation .
To the east, where the Void Dragon would be .
If the Phoenix was an existence that resurrected forever, the Void Dragon was an existence that endlessly tried to hide himself in the darkness .
He doesn’t like showing himself to others, and is always in a deep sleep . And because he doesn’t like to be woken up, he buries those who do in the ‘Void . ’
The Void Dragon was a Legendary Beast, but it was more accurate to say he was a magical creature . He was extremely territorial and had a strong and evil personality . He was also a unique creature that eroded the mystical world by spraying his Void when he was sleeping .
And so the Void Dragon’s test was the hardest out of all the Beasts .
‘Although that’s pretty useless now . ’
Once he entered the Void Dragon’s territory, he saw the same sights he had seen in the Phoenix’s .
The energy of the Void and lightning that should’ve been surrounding the forest was nonexistent .
The same went for the inside . Dead corpses of magical creatures were everywhere .
The subordinates of the Void Dragon . Each of the existences that ate the Void like the Dragon were lying with their throats sliced and hearts pulled out .
‘I can’t feel the Void Dragon watching me . That means… . ’
His suspicions became a reality .
“Orabani . ”
“Yes . ”
Edora’s gaze ended at the black Void Dragon that was on the ground . He was of an immense size and was extremely long in length . Along the black scales, little puffs of the Void were floating like clouds .
But the color of the Void was extremely weak, like it would disappear any second .
Void Dragon . He was exactly like how Yeon-woo had seen in the diary .
It was obvious, but Yeon-woo couldn’t feel any life . He approached the corpse to see the exact condition of the Dragon .
Then .
[Kekekek . ]
A hazy laugh sounded from somewhere .
“What?”
Yeon-woo thought the Saber God was nearby and turned his head to the source of the sound .
And in front of his eyes, a message popped up .
[The soul of the Void Dragon is looking at you . ]
