#224 - Chapter 224: A Face-to-Face Defeat for the King-level BOSS
Whoosh!
The next moment, lava soared into the sky as an enormous and terrifying creature, radiating intense heat, rose from the molten rock. Its overwhelming presence caused the surrounding rocks to crumble.
This terrifying figure was naturally the adult Undying Divine Phoenix.
It sensed that the feather it had left behind had been incinerated, which meant that Ye Han, the one who had saved it, needed help.
"Very well, after resolving this matter, I'll settle accounts with Hephaestus."
The Undying Divine Phoenix transformed into a streak of light, heading towards the Isle of Divine Grace.
...
"Like this, should it be alright?"
Isle of Divine Grace, Second Space.
Jiang Han couldn't help but ponder as he stared at the air before him.
Although the method of use was as such, he had no idea whether it had worked, receiving no feedback whatsoever.
"Forget it, regardless of whether it works or not, I'll just wait."
However, Jiang Han didn't dwell on it too much. The Immortal Giant Dragon hadn't attacked yet, so there wasn't any immediate urgency.
Moreover, with the Undying Divine Phoenix's strength, it shouldn't be too unreliable.
"Xiao Luo, let's go."
After returning Xiao Luo to the pet space, Jiang Han went back to the treehouse that Alesia had prepared for him to rest.
...
The waiting process was more prolonged than expected.
Two days passed in a flash.
During these two days, the entire Elven race packed their luggage, preparing for a mass migration.
As for news of the Undying Divine Phoenix...
It wasn't just that there wasn't a single feather; there wasn't even a single strand of hair.
If he didn't know that this feather genuinely belonged to the Undying Divine Phoenix, he would have suspected it was some counterfeit product.
Quiet as a ghost.
And although Alesia and the other Elves didn't say anything, their eyes inevitably revealed some disappointment.
After all, they had discussed whether the being that could eliminate the grey mist might have some other solution.
But now, it seemed that this possibility had vanished.
...
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the same time.
Isle of Divine Grace, Outer Island.
Compared to the Elves' state of high alert, the atmosphere here was many times more relaxed.
After all, the residents of the outer island didn't know what was happening deep within the island, or what kind of terrifying creatures resided there.
People came and went; it was still a bustling place.
"Damn! Why is it suddenly so hot?"
"Seriously, it's like the sun has fallen underground."
Someone complained. The surrounding temperature seemed to have risen inexplicably, making them, who were already working, feel incredibly irritable.
"Sigh, the weather changes so quickly, it's really... Holy crap! What's that?!"
"Has the sun really fallen down?!"
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, pointing at the sea.
There, the violent weather, which was always filled with lightning and thunder and was incredibly gloomy, had stopped without any warning. Replacing it was a ball of fire as dazzling as the sun.
Everyone knew full well that this wasn't the sun. The Isle of Divine Grace had never had a sun; all the light sources came from its barrier.
"What is this thing?"
In an instant, all eyes converged on the sky, each gaze solemn.
"Holy crap! This looks like a BOSS!"
"It looks like a phoenix!"
As the fireball approached, some people recognized its appearance and couldn't help but shout.
"Even from this far away, it has such a powerful aura. What kind of existence is this?"
On the Sea God, the Divine-level expert responsible for guarding this place had an extremely grave expression, because he clearly felt that the pressure from this creature, which was carrying an incredibly scorching aura, was even stronger than the Deep Sea Demon Whale?
How was this possible?
The Deep Sea Demon Whale was the overlord of the nearby waters. Even in the Boundary Battlefield, it was a top-tier existence.
Only by relying on the Sea God's power and the crew could they barely contend with it.
And now, another such powerful existence had appeared.
Could they still withstand it?
"Prepare! Prepare immediately!"
He immediately issued a warning. In an instant, the crew members, who had been enjoying a leisurely life not long ago, grabbed their weapons and returned to their positions.
"Undying Divine Phoenix..."
The fireball was extremely fast, and it didn't take long to approach the Isle of Divine Grace, allowing everyone to see some information. But even the Divine-level expert could only obtain the Undying Divine Phoenix's name.
"Could it really be a BOSS that exceeds the King level?"
The old man holding the green staff felt his heart sink. If that were the case, then the Sea God, which had existed since ancient times, would probably be defeated here today.
Even how many people on the Isle of Divine Grace could survive was still a question.
Buzz!
But before everyone could react, the sea suddenly stirred up a monstrous wave.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale had unknowingly approached the Isle of Divine Grace. Sensing the presence of something threatening its territory, it took the initiative to attack the intruder.
Boom!
A dark beam of light spewed out from the Deep Sea Demon Whale's mouth. The powerful force was about to tear the air apart.
Clearly, this attack wasn't casual. It had been lurking here for a long time, and this skill was originally intended to blast open the Isle of Divine Grace and find the aura it hated.
But now, this attack was used on the Undying Divine Phoenix.
Forbidden spell!
This was definitely a forbidden spell!
The old man holding the emerald staff's heart trembled violently, and he immediately recognized the magical fluctuations.
If a King-level BOSS's long-charged forbidden spell hit him squarely, he would probably die on the spot.
Whoosh~
But what he didn't expect was that, in the face of such a terrifying offensive, the Undying Divine Phoenix didn't even stop, still flapping its wings forward.
And around it, a barrier of flames suddenly formed, casually blocking the dark beam of light.
"What the?!"
The old man was stunned. It was resolved just like that?
Boom!
And what surprised him even more was that the Undying Divine Phoenix gently flicked its tail, dragging a gorgeous trail in the air, and a tiny ball of fire slowly fell.
Then, it exploded violently the moment it touched the Deep Sea Demon Whale.
The scorching heat wave soared, and the incredibly high temperature rapidly evaporated the seawater.
As for the Deep Sea Demon Whale, which had taken a hit, a huge wound was directly blasted out of its body. After struggling weakly for a few times, it sank to the bottom of the sea, never daring to show its face again.
The moment it was severely injured, it realized a fact.
That the big shot in front of it, who didn't know where it came from, was definitely not someone it could provoke!
The Deep Sea Demon Whale hid at the bottom of the sea, shivering, and its eyes towards the Undying Divine Phoenix were filled with fear and a hint of confusion.
For some reason, it felt that this terrifying existence also had an aura that it hated.
It was very similar to the auras it had sensed before.
But it couldn't say exactly what it was.
