Standing outside the tomb of the sacred wood, Rhodes looked around and saw that there was a forest of giant trees, the branched branches were dotted with bright flames, groups of firebirds could be seen on the branches, and there were flying around. , an elf made of flames.
Different from the fire elves born in the blazing fire of sin in hell, the little elves born here in the pure fire have gorgeous wings like butterflies, and their bodies are like human beings that have been shrunk several times. Seeing their flawless faces is comparable to the real elves living in Eri in Rhodes' memory.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Rhodes felt something for a while. In the past, everything about the phoenix was completely destroyed by the heroes who thirsted for the blood of the phoenix. The dense forest of sacred trees that once inhabited the phoenix eventually turned into a barren mound full of dead branches and lifeless. However, the current time is not like this. With the traces of the hero being completely erased by Eve, the phoenix in this time has not been harmed by the hero. They are still living in this dense forest, enjoying the worship of all fire elemental creatures , is the most honorable divine bird.
And this also means that it seems a bit inappropriate to call this place the Shenmu Remains Tomb. Rhodes wants to regain the authority of the Fire Elemental Sovereign in the sacred wood forest where the phoenix lives, and I am afraid that there will be many obstacles in vain.
As if aware of the unusual aura on Rhodes, the Firebirds, who were playing leisurely in the forest, locked their sharp eyes on Rhodes, sizing up this outsider who does not belong to the Fire Elemental Plane at all.
As the leader of legendary creatures, the phoenix itself has extremely powerful power, and can be reborn from the flames countless times. Not only that, if the phoenix burns the blood of the whole body and gives up the soul as a price, it can use this power of rebirth from the ashes of the fire. , acting on other organisms.
As a phoenix that has not yet completed its transformation, the firebird has inherited the same power as the phoenix, but it has only inherited a part. To obtain the ability to be reborn from the ashes, the firebird needs to complete a complete transformation in the raging fire. Firebirds are also not easy to provoke, even if they are legendary creatures, they dare not easily provoke any Firebird in the Fire Elemental Plane.
Rhodes seems to know the habits of the firebird very well. In the past, he went to the place where the phoenix fell to find the trace of the phoenix, but finally got the news that the phoenix disappeared.
Speaking of which, the hero who made the phoenix extinct in the past also has a lot to do with Rhodes. It was the original owner of the ghost king's cloak, the vampire hero Degar. From the tomb guards at the place where the Phoenix fell, Rhodes learned the story of Degar. The reason why he almost wiped out the Phoenix was to resurrect his dead lover with the power of the Phoenix.
If Rhodes remembers correctly, in the story told by the gravekeeper, the culprit who killed Degar's lover was the demon king in charge of flames in the depths of hell, an evil existence named Flam Infrit Sultan , and she is now in Rhodes' hands.
Under the judgment of the holy angel, even Fromm was unable to resist the power of fate, and in the end, only the flame fell silent, leaving only an elemental core that no longer glowed. But the elemental core that belonged to her was collected by Rhodes and brought to the Fire Elemental Plane.
With the complete disappearance of the soul, Flem's elemental core has gradually lost its temperature. Even the fiery elemental plane of fire cannot rekindle this elemental core that has lost power, but no matter what, she is still in charge The elemental monarch who has ruled for countless years, even if there is only one elemental core left, still has a connection with the authority of the fire department. As long as he follows the guidance of the elemental core, Rhodes can find the whereabouts of the authority of the fire element.
Thinking of the power of rebirth in the Phoenix bloodline, Rhodes couldn't help but look at the elemental core that had cooled down in his hand. If there was a way to reawaken Fromm, Rhodes wouldn't mind trying it. . Rhodes only knew a little about the true power of the Phoenix's bloodline, and even Phoenix couldn't use the ability of rebirth from the ashes.
In the old days, the hero Degar chose to set foot in the sacred wood forest where the phoenix lived in order to call back his dead lover. Although Rhodes did not do it for this reason, he secretly made a similar choice as Degar.
The former owner of the ghost king's cloak, the ancient hero Degar with scarlet eyes, has tasted the bitter fruit of his own power. His scarlet eyes not only cursed the phoenix, but also made the divine birds in the flames sink into vicious vampires. , Even the lover who had been reborn after suffering was completely cursed by his unintentional glance and became a member of the undead creatures.
Degal, full of remorse, gave up the scarlet eyes that belonged to the hero, and completely cut off his own heroic specialty. And in another time, the Scarlet Eye belonging to Rhodes was the power inherited from Degar. Now that things have happened, Rhodes can only hope that he will not repeat the mistakes of that hero.
Rhodes clearly knows that everything in the current time is just a link in the illusion. Whether it is Andorra or Fromm, they are not like this in the original time and space, but the moment they really see the silence of the flames, Rod De still couldn't bear it in his heart, no matter how much he maintained his usual rationality, there would still be a little touch in his heart.
Although Rhodes didn't come here specifically to revive Fromm, if the opportunity is right in front of him, Rhodes doesn't mind giving it a try.
Just as Rhodes was thinking, the gray-white elemental core in his hand felt a little touched at this moment, and a force guided Rhodes to the center of the godwood jungle, where there were things that Rhodes was thinking about. The authority of the fire element attributed here.
The existence of controlling the authority of the fire element will become the real fire element monarch. Facing the Holy Tribunal Angel who surpasses all living beings, Rhodes is simply powerless to fight. In order to ensure the smooth casting of the Doomsday Blade, Rhodes must hold the power of the power of the fire element in his hands before he can find a chance of victory.
The Holy Tribunal Angel did not come in pursuit. This discovery not only failed to make Rhodes breathe a sigh of relief, but made his heart more tense. Andorra is not good at subtle space magic, and she who stays in hell is likely to Ignore herself for the time being and go to Doomsday Volcano instead. If she destroys the casting of Doomsday Blade, Rhodes will completely lose hope of defeating her.
For this reason, Rhodes must take the authority of the fire elemental monarch into his hands as soon as possible. Rhodes thought that there would be no obstacles near the Shenmu Tomb, but the current situation disappointed him. There were no traces left by the heroes, and the most powerful fire creatures in the world were active in this dense forest. Known as the phoenix, it may not be easy for the Phoenix to obtain the authority of the fire elemental monarch.
"The dense forest ahead is the territory of the phoenix, please don't get any closer."
Just as Rhodes was thinking, an elf fluttered his wings and flew in front of Rhodes, asking him.
The elf's body was not as big as Rhode's palm. She was wearing a golden-red slim armor, holding a fiery spear with her tiny arms, and her words were not polite at all. If not, I'm afraid I will be attacked by her immediately.
Looking at the pompous elf in front of him, Rhodes couldn't help laughing. As a fragile elf born on the elemental plane, the elf's rank can only wander back to the first or second order, saying that it is the weakest in the entire fire elemental plane Creatures are similar, I'm afraid that any elemental creature can far exceed the rank of elves, but such elves dare to stand in front of Rhodes and prevent him from going deep into the godswood forest.
"I know." Rhodes replied slowly, "But what belongs to me was lost in the dense forest, and I have to get it back."
Hearing Rhode's words with such certainty, the elf couldn't help frowning slightly: "But you don't belong here at all, the aura on your body is completely different from the fire elemental plane, and it comes from other planes at all. How did your things end up here?"
Seeing the elf seriously thinking about the content of his words, Rhodes couldn't help shaking his head, not wanting to explain anything, and was about to go to the Shenmu jungle to find out, but was stopped by the elf.
"Stop! If you go one step further, I will use the Phoenix Divine Fire to leave you with an unforgettable memory."
In front of Rhodes, the elf stood up the long spear quenched by the intense fire in his hand, and a golden red sparkling flame erupted from the tip of the spear. That was the phoenix divine fire that the elf spoke of. With the igniting of the phoenix fire, the elf's power rose sharply, becoming an existence that even high-level creatures could not underestimate.
Even Rhodes was attracted by the quenching spear in the elf's hand, and couldn't help saying, "Then you might as well try it."
"You..." The elf was so angry at Rhodes' words, she had already reminded Rhodes kindly, but Rhodes didn't expect her words to be taken to heart at all, just to let him experience the power of the elves, let him He knew that elves born from the fire of the phoenix were not so easy to mess with.
Bright flames erupted from the front of the elf's spear, and the fiery phoenix divine fire spewed out from the tip of the spear, like the breath of an angry dragon, burning the enemy with raging fire. Under the burning of the pure flame, only A piece of fly ash.
The Phoenix Divine Fire didn't last too long, after a burst of flames erupted for a short time, it quietly disappeared again. Even if Rhodes didn't listen to the advice, the kind elf couldn't bear to hurt others. After the phoenix fire appeared briefly, she took it back into the spear again. She didn't intend to leave it to Rhodes as she said. A lesson that will never be forgotten, just wants to punish Rhodes and let Rhodes retreat.
The flames dissipated, and Rhode's figure reappeared. To the elf's surprise, Rhode's expression was as usual, and there was not even a trace of scorched by the flames on his body. If nothing.
Although the Phoenix Divine Fire was extremely violent, it was not enough to bypass Rhodes' immunity to flames and directly cause damage to him. Even the fire elemental monarch who had liberated all his power, without the effect of the ball of destruction, would never have thought of hurting him with flames. Rhodes hadn't paid attention to the mere phoenix fire.
"Have you had enough trouble? Then get out of the way."
While the elf was in a daze, Rhodes raised his middle finger, then held it with his thumb, and flicked hard at the elf's palm-sized body. Hearing an ouch, the elf flew upside down and landed on the ground. In which bushes.
Seeing the little elf disappearing in front of him, Rhodes shook his head. In his perception, a chaotic flame storm erupted in the center of the Shenmu jungle, and even the nearby firebirds were shocked by the sudden burst of flames. The storm drew attention, and he had no time to pay attention to the situation on his side.
The appearance of the flame storm is presumably directly related to the power of the fire element returning to this place. The frenzied flame storm has caused endless turbulence that tears apart the space, and the nearby space has become extremely unstable. If you forcibly cast space magic If not, I'm afraid they will be expelled from the Fire Elemental Plane immediately. Under the interference of space turbulence, Rhodes couldn't use space magic to teleport directly to the fire element authority, and could only go there step by step.
Turning around the Firebird, which was attracted by the flame storm above his head, Rhodes quickly walked deep into the center of the sacred tree forest. The aura coming from ahead became stronger and stronger. The dense branches and leaves around the sacred tree could not cover the red flames that smudged the sky. Countless tyrannical flames seemed to be waiting for Rhodes ahead.
With the help of the shrubs under the sacred tree, Rhodes concealed his figure and walked forward without leaking a breath. The plants that grow on the Fire Elemental Plane are so special. Even if sparks fall on the surface of the plants, they never burn. Instead, they absorb the power of the flames to make themselves grow more lushly.
Coming to the end of the road, Rhodes slowed down at this moment, pushed away the obstruction of the vision by the branches and leaves, the scene ahead suddenly became clear, and in the sky not far away, dozens of flaming fires were circling around, like phantoms The noble divine bird is the purest phoenix among fire creatures.
The phoenixes now seem to have lost their former nobility and tranquility, forming a formation in twos and threes, fighting endlessly for something in it.
Rhodes looked intently, and what the phoenixes were scrambling for was a ball of bright golden fire. Even though the fire seemed to be not as big as the elf that Rhodes just met, anyone who saw the ball of fire would be shocked. I am sure in my heart that the fire seed, which is less than the size of a palm, contains the power of starting a prairie fire that can burn everything.
That unique fire is the sovereign authority that has flowed into the fire elemental plane, and the mystery of all the flames in the world is hidden in that small fire, but what Rhodes did not expect is that the sovereign authority in this world, It actually attracted competition from the Phoenixes.
