Under the entanglement of endless fire, Rhodes, who had completely absorbed the fire, opened his eyes. Deep in those indifferent eyes, there was a blazing fire that engulfed everything.
Facing the ancient phoenix rushing straight, Rhodes just stretched out his hand, and the flames all over the phoenix lost control. It is no longer the phoenix itself that manipulates the flames around the phoenix, but the will of the fire elemental monarch.
The Phoenix Divine Fire, which was supposed to be the most familiar to the Phoenix, was completely out of control at this time. The flames all over the ancient Phoenix became a cage to imprison the Phoenix. Rhodes just stretched out his hand, and the cage began to shrink inward, as if condensed. The substantial flames kept squeezing inwards, twisting the phoenix's body, and only the crisp sound could be heard continuously. When the ancient phoenix fell from the sky, its body had already been shattered into pieces, and there was no more breath coming out.
Flames rose from the remains of the ancient phoenix. The previous Rhodes was unable to isolate the flames burning on the remains of the phoenix in the elemental plane of fire, but this was an easy task for him now.
With Rhodes snapping his fingers, all the flames on the phoenix remains were extinguished. Even if the sparks in the air fell on the phoenix remains, they never rekindled. Only the bursts of black smoke from the remains proved that there had been flames on it. burned.
That was an order belonging to the elemental monarch. The remains of the ancient phoenix had been completely cursed by the flames, and there was no trace of sparks willing to continue burning on the remains. All the power of fire in the world belongs to the fire elemental monarch.
After merging the power of the fire seed, Rhodes has become a true fire elemental monarch. Unlike in the past, he borrowed the power of the fire element from Flem, and now the power of the monarchy belongs to him alone, breaking the fire element. After the seal of the elemental monarch, that force has become unstoppable.
Rhodes took a deep breath, there was not much mana left in his body, but now he no longer needs mana at all, all fire magic elements in the world, at this moment, obey his orders and can be used by him For the casting of magic, that is the power that belongs to the fire elemental monarch, and it is also the power that belongs to Rhodes now.
The nearby phoenix also felt the unusual flame breath, except for the crackling of the flames, there was not even the slightest bird song in the field. The sovereign flame that gathered endless fire elements was far more blazing than the Phoenix divine fire.
"Human, who are you?"
Just as Rhodes felt the power that belonged to the Fire Elemental Sovereign, one of the phoenixes spoke out and asked Rhodes. Phoenix lowered his wings and deliberately slowed down his movements, signaling that he was not a threat.
"So you can speak human language? I thought you could only tweet." Rhodes just said indifferently. When he took out the ball of destruction not long ago, the phoenix chased him a lot, and now he finally knows how to speak human language "Who am I, you ask? I am the Lord of the Fire Element now, and all fire creatures should obey my orders."
Listening to the undisguised overriding and dominating meaning in Rhodes' words, the nearby phoenixes chirped one after another. As the most noble elemental plane of fire, the divine bird Phoenix, which enjoys the worship of all fire-type creatures, is willing to move towards the phoenix in front of it. Humans give in? They will definitely not agree to Rhodes' request.
Rhodes didn't seem to hear the phoenix's discussion. He turned his eyes and focused on the elf who fell from the sky not long ago.
Under the burning of the phoenix fire, the elf's fragile body was powerless to resist, and it was completely reduced to ashes in the flames. After Rhodes completely fused the power of the fire element, the elf had already lost the slightest breath. As the weakest creature in the elemental plane of fire, the fallen elf does not have the elemental core like the elemental man, and looks like a dim mass of ashes.
Rhodes looked at the fallen elf. He believed that the heroic will suddenly appeared in the elf was not accidental, so he ordered to the Phoenix beside him, "Resurrect her."
The Phoenix who was negotiating with Rhodes showed embarrassment, and did not move for a long time, until Rhodes' gloomy gaze swept over him, and then he opened his mouth to argue: "Lord Fire Element, you may not know, Phoenix can only be done at the cost of the soul. Let other creatures rise from the ashes."
"So? What do you want to express?" Rhodes just asked indifferently. Under the blessing of the authority of the fire department, there was raging fire in the depths of Rhodes' eyes, and even Phoenix would be under his anger Burn out completely.
Phoenix was a little hesitant, but after thinking about the price required to regenerate the elf, he still boldly said: "I mean, this ability of rebirth from ashes cannot be easily used for other creatures. Every year, there are a large number of people from other planes Creatures begged us outside the godwood forest, begging us to resurrect the dead creatures for them, but they were rejected without exception. The phoenix is the most noble fire creature, and it will not sacrifice its own life to resurrect others. Not to mention resurrecting that puny little elf."
Fenghuang's answer also attracted constant applause from other nearby phoenixes, who all agreed with this point of view. The phoenix is the most noble existence in the entire fire elemental plane. They have always been the only ones who enjoy the worship of other creatures, so how can they condescend to revive that little elf that is not worth mentioning at all.
Facing Phoenix's answer, Rhodes just sneered: "You may have made a mistake. I did not ask you, but ordered you to do so. Resurrect her, or you will experience the horror of the fire elemental monarch."
Phoenix, who was still a bit lucky in her heart, did not do what Rhodes asked, but argued to Rhodes: "That is just a little elf, it is not worth Phoenix's life to exchange for it. Could it be that her body, Is there anything Phoenix doesn't have? We can also take human form if necessary."
"I've already given you a chance." Rhodes shook his head slowly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "From her, I saw the will of a hero, but from you, I didn't see that. I didn’t see anything. You call yourself a god bird, and all you have in your heart is greed. When you see the authority of the monarch, you forget everything about yourself. You are not qualified to be compared with heroes.”
As Rhodes' words fell, the surrounding fire elements quickly gathered towards his body, and the nearby phoenixes were surprised to find that the unquenchable phoenix fire that existed on them completely dimmed at this moment.
As a phoenix born from the flames, the gorgeous feathers on the Phoenix's body are made of solidified flames. With the complete extinguishment of the Phoenix's sacred fire, only the bare body of the nearby Phoenix is left, and no more gorgeous feathers. The majesty of the body is like a group of pheasants that have been plucked and scalded with boiling water, and are still steaming.
The same is true for the phoenix that is negotiating with Rhodes. After losing the cover of its gorgeous feathers, even in the elemental plane of fire, this phoenix still feels the coldness of its body. Even so, it is unwilling to compromise with Rhodes: " Even if you can control the flames, you can't force the Phoenix to resurrect others, and if the Phoenix itself doesn't want to, no one can force us to do so."
On the way to resurrect other creatures, the phoenix showed unexpected stubbornness. No matter how threatened Rhodes was, they were unwilling to do what Rhodes asked.
"I know." Rhodes was not surprised by Phoenix's answer. In the past, the owner of the ghost king's cloak had already proved this point to Rhodes. Unless Phoenix can be moved, otherwise all Phoenix will be killed. Nor can they change their minds,
That's what the former hero Degar did. He didn't have any effect on the slaughter of the Phoenix. Instead, his experience moved the last Phoenix, which made the Phoenix revive him. Now it's Rhodes' turn to do this. It was done, but Rhode obviously didn't intend to slowly impress the Phoenix in front of him like Degar did.
With a thought in Rhodes' mind, the fire elements in the surrounding space turned into giant flaming hands under his control, grabbing all the nearby phoenixes that couldn't dodge. No phoenix can escape the seal-breaker in the plane of the fire element Attack of the fire elemental monarch.
As Rhodes held the air, the giant flaming hands in the vicinity also shrank at the same time. When he fully grasped the power of the fire authority, the power of the spell he released far exceeded the level of the legendary mage. The fire magic elements contained in the seemingly simple flame giant's hands are easily more than a hundred times that of any phoenix.
Under the crushing of the giant hand, there were only crisp sounds, and the precious blood of the phoenix dripped to the ground along the bottom of the giant hand. The phoenix inside was completely deformed, and even the bones were completely crushed. crushed.
Under the order of the fire elemental monarch, no spark dared to ignite on the remains of the phoenix. Rebirth from the ashes requires the power of flames, and that power requires the approval of the fire elemental monarch.
In a short moment, except for the Phoenix that was negotiating with Rhodes, the remaining Phoenixes were all completely smashed by the giant flame hands. Looking at the scene in front of him, the only surviving Phoenix had a flash of fear in his eyes, and an unbelievably complicated expression. He couldn't help but screamed sharply, and couldn't even utter a complete sentence for a while. .
"You don't want to resurrect the elf, so how about this?"
The whisper from Rhodes reached Phoenix's ears at this moment, which made its completely sluggish expression slightly better, at least it was no longer that dumbfounded look.
"If you resurrect the elves, I will lend the power of the flames to those phoenixes, and let them be reborn in the flames. If thinking this way makes you more comfortable, you should use your own soul to resurrect all the phoenixes you know, Isn't that what you want?"
Rhode's words immediately brought the only remaining phoenix back to reality. Looking at the wreckages of the phoenixes, there was still a bit of disbelief in its eyes: "You...you took away the Phoenix's divine fire, completely killed it. dead them?"
"I didn't do that." Rhodes spread his hands and said, "You killed them, I have given you a chance, but you are unwilling to accept my proposal, unwilling to exchange your own soul for The rebirth of all the phoenixes, didn't you kill them with your own hands?"
Listening to Rhodes' cold words, Phoenix also realized that he had no choice. In front of the real fire elemental monarch, the sacred and noble Phoenix in the past was really not as good as a pheasant. He could only let the elemental monarch handle it at will. The most core power of the phoenix, which is also the source of the power of rebirth from the ashes, is the phoenix divine fire, which is in the hands of the fire elemental monarch. What else can it do? If it refuses, all Phoenixes will die because of him.
"Okay... I will resurrect that little elf according to your request, but you must guarantee that all the dead phoenixes will be reborn from the ashes." Under Rhodes' threat, Phoenix finally changed his mind.
Rhodes nodded, and seemed quite satisfied with Phoenix's answer. If Phoenix had made such a choice earlier, he would not have to do so: "In the name of the fire elemental monarch, I will do as I promised you. "
After receiving Rhode's answer, Phoenix finally made up his mind, even if he sacrificed his life to resurrect the seemingly insignificant elf, if doing so could bring back all the dead Phoenix, let them be bathed. If the fire is reborn, then it is willing to do the same.
The flame was burning from the only remaining phoenix, which belonged to the power of the phoenix's fire, but compared with before, the phoenix's fire at this moment was particularly fierce. Even the body of the phoenix, under the continuous burning of the phoenix's fire, Next, it also became a little unreal.
The fiery fire shines, until it extends to the ashes not far away. At this moment, the elf, which had been turned into a mass of ashes, suddenly lit up, like a pearl brushing off the dust on the surface, or like a weak person suddenly injected with a booster, under Rhodes' gaze Next, the elf's body regained its vitality and flew lightly. As a price for doing so, the phoenix also weakened rapidly, and finally only a few residual breaths remained.
When the elf completely recovered, the Phoenix's aura was completely wiped out. Rhodes seemed to hear the sound of the broken soul, and there was no trace of the Phoenix's aura that fell to the ground. As it said before, with this A force to revive other creatures requires it to pay the price of its life.
Different from reincarnation and rebirth, the ability of the phoenix is enough to act on almost any creature. It can be said that apart from undead creatures, even elemental creatures can be reborn with the help of the power of the phoenix after they have completely fallen. This is reincarnation. Rebirth can't achieve the effect anyway.
Thinking of this, Rhode's gaze couldn't help but put his eyes on the elemental core in his hand. The elf had been completely resurrected in front of his eyes. Perhaps the elemental core belonging to Flem could also restore life again.
