Chapter 443: Soukai Mountain’s Holy God, Phoenix!
Chapter 443: Soukai Mountain’s Holy God, Phoenix!
As expected, there was also a slight surprise. Haruno frowned. "Ren, the game prompted whether to use points to improve abilities."
"Improve now?" During a game, points could usually only be used in the mall. This was a special situation.
Ren asked all the non-Chat Group players. Only Sirin, Nao, and Utaha had this option. He could understand. In the first layer, no one else could gain points.
"It’s somewhat like a stage-clearing game," Yumiko frowned.
"Perhaps each layer has such a choice. This layer already has Level 6 monsters," Ren said to the three. "Sirin, improve your ability. Utaha and Nao, you can also choose to obtain one."
"Mm!" The three followed suit. Sirin’s ice power improved to Level 6. Nao obtained Space Manipulation, and Utaha obtained Thunder Power. Mai and Erina could only watch enviously.
After confirming the situation, Ren suggested, "Try to leave the Level 6 monsters to players like Yumiko."
Then he took out the villa and placed it in mid-air. "If any of you get tired, you can rest here." After handling the arrangements, he immediately chose to undertake the Demon King Challenge.
[Ding! Welcome to the Blazing Arena! Challenger Ren is about to challenge the Blazing King!]
"Caw!" A sharp cry! A crimson volcano erupted, and a magnificent figure soared from the crater. It was a giant bird completely surrounded by flames, resembling a Phoenix.
[Blazing King: Level 7]
Similar to before, Ren didn’t even give it a chance to speak. Gluttony activated! An abyssal maw in the void directly swallowed it.
[Ding! Congratulations! You have completed the second layer’s Demon King Challenge, earning 25 million doomsday points!]
[Returning to the second layer in 30 seconds!]
Changes indeed occurred. The fiery red of the Blazing Land converged, forming a figure with alternating crimson and orange-red hues. She had a woman’s body, exquisite beauty, and was covered in crimson feathers like clothing.
A gentle smile graced her lips. "Thank you for freeing my soul. What I can give you..."
"Don’t rush. I still have questions," Ren interrupted. He raised his hand, pulled her soul over, and solidified it.
The thirty seconds ended. He returned to the Blazing Land, and the woman’s soul appeared with him. "Follow me." Ren walked into the villa.
"..." The woman didn’t understand what had happened. It seemed her soul had been revived and was now controlled by the person in front of her. She could only silently follow.
Passing by Mai and the others, Ren greeted them briefly before taking the woman into a room. The group exchanged glances. What are they doing in there?
"Your name."
"Phoenix."
Nothing happened. Ren was just asking questions. "Phoenix, I’ll call you that. Are you, like the Light Lion, a Saint God of Soukai Mountain?"
"Yes. I am the Saint God of the second layer," she answered truthfully.
"So, how did you end up here?"
"..." After a moment, she parted her lips. "I don’t know exactly. I only know that on that day, Soukai Mountain’s rainbow dimmed, and a giant hand reached out from the sky. When I realized its target was me, I fought back, but it had no effect. After that, I was captured and brought here, transformed into the Blazing King, and lost consciousness."
"Oh? So the Light Lion was also modified?" This surprised him.
Phoenix shook her head. "I don’t know about the other Saint Gods."
Ren felt it should be more or less the same. This Creation God Mountain was likely modeled after Soukai Mountain. Why did the Doomsday Game go to such lengths to capture them? This was a question that couldn’t be clarified for now.
