The phoenix continues to rain flaming arrows while soaring in the sky. Fenrir dodges the flaming arrows and waits for an opportunity to counterattack, but the rain of arrows is so intense that she couldn’t find the chance.
“Wauuuuuuu!”
At that moment, the Fenrir roared.
The aftermath of the roar caused the weak-willed humans in the ice fortress to faint.
“What an intimidating presence! ….As expected of a mythical monster.”
“Uh…… Take a look at the Phoenix!”
The Phoenix, hit by the directional roar, it is now falling headfirst to the ground. In such posture, it slammed into the ground hard.
“Gruaaaaahhhhhh!”
Having the phoenix fall to the ground, Fenrir seized the perfect opportunity to lunge at it with breakneck speed. The Phoenix barely regained consciousness, but there was no longer time to escape into the sky.
With the sharp claws, Fenrir tears the Phoenix’s body to shreds. Sparks flew around, burning the stone roads and buildings.
However, Phoenix is said to be immortal. As soon as the flames covered the wound, it quickly reverted to its original form.
“At this rate, Fenrir will never be able to defeat it…! And even though Fenrir is the one attacking, its body is now starting to burn…!”
Although it seemed like Fenrir is unilaterally dealing damage to her opponent, she was actually being bathed in the Phoenix’s flames. Her beautiful white and silver hair is now charred black.
“Queeeee!!”
The phoenix cried, as if to say that Fenrir’s attack is useless.
“Waauuuuuuun! (Useless? Don’t make laugh. Do you think your flames will work on me?)”
However, Fenrir doesn’t care and continues her attacks on the Phoenix. She bit into the Phoenix throat and ripped it apart with all her might.
The tossed head disappears, and a new head grows in its place.
“It seems like there’s no way to defeat the Phoenix after all.”
“No…… I don’t think so.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Look at it carefully. The Phoenix’s body is now a lot smaller than it was at the beginning.”
“Oh, it’s true!”
At first, the Phoenix was comparable in size to Fenrir, but now it was half that size, if not smaller. In addition, the repair of its wounds is slowing down.
“The flames are getting weaker too……”
“That’s right. With each damage, it’s going to get smaller and smaller.”
Finally, the phoenix had become the size of an ordinary bird, and Fenrir swallowed it whole.
“……Ugh (What a disgusting bird).”
Fenrir’s body began to shrink again. She returned to her original beastman beauty.
Meltera hurriedly ran to her.
“Did you defeat it?”
“Yes. As you can see.”
“The opponent is a phoenix which is a mythical monster, right? I never thought it would be that easy…..”
To Meltera’s surprise, Fenrir shook her head.
“No, it’s not a Phoenix. I wouldn’t be able to defeat a real Phoenix at my level now.”
“What? Wasn’t it a Phoenix?”
“Perhaps they forcibly evolved a similar bird monster to become a pseudo phoenix.”
“I see.…”
Meltera was convinced. If the black magic stone had been used to create it, such result would not be impossible indeed.
“However, it seems that it wasn’t possible to create a true mythical monster huh.”
And then at that moment, Meltera sensed that the magic that had been filling her surroundings for a long time suddenly faded and disappeared.
“It has been resolved. Reus-sama must have done a good job down there.”
There are still monsters roaming around now, but nothing more will born again.
“There’s an ice fortress so the rest of the monsters would be easy to deal with. By the way, I….…”
