Chapter 423 The war II
Misha's grey eyes narrowed into slits as fiery flames entered her vision. In that moment, a commanding cry echoed through the air, followed by a beautiful pair of wings that appeared in the sky.
The wings were glistening with a mix of golden, red, and blue feathers as they soared towards the battlefield. Bia's eyes narrowed as she surveyed the people below. Just as she said, the phoenix wasn't alone. Countless flying monsters followed her in a mesmerizing formation.
All of them covered the sky like a blanket and cast shadows on the ground, causing many on the ground to raise their heads and stare at the majestic phoenix leading the monsters with bated breaths.
Nine, who was fighting alongside Carcel and Regius against one of the divine rank elves, suddenly stopped in his actions.
He looked up at the phoenix and couldn't help but let out a loud curse, almost startling Carcel, who had just been pushed back towards him in mid-air.
Carcel followed his gaze, and his eyes widened in astonishment.
"Fuck..."
Nine laughed when he heard Carcel cursing so openly. It was a rare sight to see Carcel lose his composure like that.
"Damn, I'm jealous. She brought a whole freaking army with her!"
Bia snickered at the monsters who were fighting alongside the enemies. Her eyes sparkled, and she ordered the flying monsters behind her to attack the people with black petals engraved on their foreheads.
Not just the flying monsters, but the countless monsters following behind the phoenix through the land also jumped into the battlefield. Many were surprised, but the ones who knew Bia shouted toward the phoenix with newfound enthusiasm.
The people with black petals engraved on their foreheads faltered in their stance for the first time when they saw the massive army of monsters joining the opposing side. They subconsciously looked at the divine rank individuals on their side and were once again stunned because all the divine rank individuals were surrounded!
Misha's dark eyes followed the beautiful phoenix, and a vein throbbed on her forehead. She knew it was rare to see a phoenix, let alone one that had attained psuedu-divine rank strength. But this was troublesome because the same phoenix was helping the people she wanted to kill.
Moreover, to make matters worse, she could vividly sense that the phoenix's authority to command the monsters was much stronger than hers.
'Don't tell me it's a bonded beast...? Diora just how the fucking hell can you spout such nonsense that this planet doesn't have anyone above (SSS+)-Rank?!'
The woman zoomed in towards the phoenix to immediately finish it off because if she didn't, she knew it would be bad for her side.
"No matter what, I am stronger! So, you need to die for me, pretty phoenix."
Misha released her divine pressure, and countless burning meteors materialized behind her that shot out towards the phoenix with lightning-fast speed. The people and the monsters who felt her pressure dropped to their knees.
But the woman wearing the white robe didn't care if her pressure was affecting the enemies or allies. She just wanted to end the battle as soon as possible. Because for some reason, a nagging feeling started stabbing at the back of her head the moment she saw the phoenix.
Misha's face crumbled when the phoenix, who should be the main target of her pressure, snickered at her face with a pair of eyes that clearly mocked her, as if she didn't amount to anything.
Bia's wings glistened with a pale golden hue, and the symbols engraved at the edges of her wings started glowing. In the next moment, a transparent barrier enclosed her body and pushed away the pressure that was directed towards her.
-'I gotta admit, these symbols are not just for show haha. Now, I'm gonna have a lot of fun, and unfortunately, this woman's gonna be my first target.'
The phoenix glided down the air smoothly to avoid the burning meteors, and her eyes sparkled as she fixed them on Misha.
-'Let's see how long you can last against the majestic me!'
The air around Misha started trembling as she conjured a snowstorm with sharp wind currents, but she staggered in mid-air when the phoenix didn't even flinch from the coldness. Blissfully unaware that after spending so much time with Kyle, Bia had developed a natural resistance to all types of icy skills.
Misha increased her pressure with a frustated cry, and the people beneath her were almost crushed, but she didn't stop. Bia groaned because she couldn't get near the woman, and due to their fight, many people were dying.
The phoenix's eyes roamed around, searching for a way to get close to the woman. Bia's eyes brightened when a familiar figure materialized behind the crazy woman, who had been throwing so many attacks towards her that it was getting a little difficult to dodge.
Kyle gazed at the phoenix, and before Misha could react, he grabbed her neck tightly. The cold sensation shocked the woman to the core, and with a movement so fast that not even Bia could follow with her eyes, Misha's body turned into a mirage. In the next second, the air behind her cracked into countless fragments.
Misha froze when her nails, which had turned into crystals, touched nothing but empty air.
"Huh?"
She looked around with bewildered eyes and then snapped her gaze towards the phoenix, thinking it was probably the phoenix's trick. But then, countless flickering portals materialized all around her, almost eager to suck her in.
Misha cried out, shocked that the phoenix used array symbols! Moreover, with how fast the portals materialized around her, she was a hundred percent sure that the phoenix's knowledge about it had far surpassed the ordinary level.
"But... but how is it possible!?"
Not even in her wildest dreams did she imagine she would see a beast that could comprehend something she herself had little knowledge about because it was too difficult. The woman laughed and tore the portals before fixing her dark gaze on Bia.
"Now I want to open your skull and cut your body to see just how the hell you reached this level of strength!"
Bia's eyes sparkled with mirth as she watched the woman getting ready to send another attack towards her, unaware that the real culprit once again materialized above her. The woman cried out as a powerful kick landed on her head, sending her tumbling downward with lightning-fast speed. Kyle lowered his leg and gazed at Bia before a portal materialized in front of the phoenix.
"Go, I'm sending her behind you. Fight somewhere else. She's causing too many deaths."
-"Haha, don't worry and leave her to me! She's my prey!"
