Chapter 462 A Phoenix

Lucius and Fein followed Sofia to see her beast companion, Aoi. And just as they arrived, they saw Sofia hugging a purple feathered big bird with beautiful golden ruby pupils.

Fein observed the changes in Aoi's appearance for a while. He noticed that like Voli, Aoi not only changed in appearance but also temperament. He could feel a certain pressure from her that brought pressure to his being. It's not the strength difference, but more on the life level that stems from the depths of the bloodline.

Aoi turned from the previous blue bird into a purple one with golden outlines on her body.

'Is it because of the mythical bloodline?'

What Fein noticed was the fact that Aoi's aura was slightly weaker than Voli's. 'Let's see what change her evolution had given here.'

Just like that, Fein made a mental command to his system to display Aoi's previous status or interface. In this way, he would be able to properly gauge the changes and accurately determine the changes that the evolution had given her.

As he saw the stats, Fein quickly used his probe to Aoi, who was being hugged by Sofia. A smile suddenly came upon his face for a moment before he shifted his attention to the result of his probe.

...

...

As he scanned Aoi's new status, Fein quickly noticed its huge difference from the previous one. Like Voli, Aoi evolved to the cellular level to become a new creature. Like a caterpillar that shed its cocoon and evolved into a butterfly.

First, Aoi's race became of higher existence that was worthy of her status as a newly evolved Mythical Beast! From the eagle, she turned into a phoenix! What is a phoenix? Phoenixes are considered mythical animals comparable to the dragons in the myth! What does Phoenix represent? The phoenix bird symbolizes immortality, resurrection, and life after death, and in ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology, it is associated with the sun god!

They are immortal, as even if dying with natural death, or anything of the sort, they would rise from their ashes and live anew! It's a reincarnation cycle where they will fall and they will rise. Phoenix is a noble creature that also exudes noble and grace! A beautiful magical creature!

What made Fein interested was the fact that instead of the usual fire or sun phoenix, Aoi wields snow and ice power.

Purple Icy Queen Phoenix... Fein knew that each word had meaning. As for why there's a queen, he didn't know. Maybe Aoi is the new queen of a race called Purple Icy Phoenixes out there?

Second, just like Voli, Aoi was promoted to S rank. Now, she's officially an S-rank creature! Not only that, her three basic stats jumped to S rank. With this drastic increase in strength. Fein doesn't have to worry much about their safety on the journey to the East. At the very least, when they finally fight the witches, Aoi could even take care of the small fries.

Lastly, Aoi's abilities completely changed. From the previous ice-snow-related abilities, now it was compressed in one ability called 'Ice and Snow Manipulation' just like Voli's.

'Let's see what these abilities could do,' Fein smiled.

It had already become his hobby to read the description of abilities that pique his interest. Furthermore, Aoi's abilities aren't those simple ones, but abilities that are Legendary Grade and above! Reading what the strange abilities could do gave him a sense of excitement.

With that, Fein read the abilities one by one while Sofia and Aoi were busy with their reunion. Lucius, on the other hand, was conversing with the two people that delivered Aoi safely.

[Ice and Snow Manipulation (Active)- The ability to control ice and snow at the will of the user. The effectiveness of the ability depends on the user's creativity and imagination.]

[Golden Ice Phoenix Transformation (Active)- Transforms the user into a Golden Ice Phoenix. A transformation form exclusive to the Purple Icy Queen Phoenix. After transformation, the user's Ice and Snow powers would possess the characteristics of a golden flame. Hotness and coldness, when combined, can exert destructive effects.]

[Ice of Divine Domain- An ability that transformed the environment around the user into his own characteristic. Inside the domain, the user's ice ability and degu energy recovery speed would be boosted by 20x!]

[Reincarnation Snow (Passive)-Every ten years, the user would get a life stone. Life-stone would provide the user with the power of rebirth! If the user dies, the living stone can bring her back to life. Life stones can only be used by the phoenix race.]

[Frost Bind (Active] The chain of frost, Ice, turns into a chain that slows down the flow of degu energy to the target that it binds. Completely engulfed by the bliss of chill, the target's defense would decrease by two percent every second while chained.]

[Devil's Frost (Active)- The devil's frost is by far one of the coldest ice and snow power used by the lich king. It has the capability to seal the powers of creatures it had frozen and prevent them from moving. The Ice can't be broken inside, but can only be done outside. One would need a certain degree of temperature to melt the ice made from the Devil's Frost.]

[Frost Giant Summon (Active)- An ability to summon a Frost Giant. A creature borne from Ice and Snow that possessed incredible strength and could naturally wield ice powers.]

It took Fein a few minutes before he recovered from the information of the abilities that he had just read. The abilities were just as awesome as Voli's, and most of them were self-explanatory.
