Chapter 35 Ice Phoenix
Chapter 35 Ice Phoenix
Ch.35 Ice Phoenix
The Honourable Brother was currently hiding in a secret location that he had found many years ago, since then, he had always been planning for this very moment.
With mixed excitement and fear, he gathered the 3 materials he needed to complete the procedure and maximize his success. 2 Phoenix Eggs and a 20 year old Magic Icicle.
The 20 year old Magic Icicle is a natural treasure, an Icicle that had managed to survive a year without melting, henceforth obtaining the foundation to cultivate by absorbing Magical Energy and the Ice Essence in the area.
The longer a Magical Icicle has ‘lived’ for, the more essence it has managed to absorb, granting Ice Affinity cultivators and Water Affinity cultivators hoping to gain comprehension massive benefits if they were to obtain it.
Of course, like with all things there were mutative cases here and there. In rare situations, the Magic Icicle absorbed more than just Magical Energy and Ice Essence causing a change in the Icicle, but that’s for another time.
The Magic Icicle in the ‘Honourable’ Brother’s possession was a gift from Chad in his journey up North. The Phoenix had managed to find a few of such things and guessed they would be of benefit to his Wives and Brother when he identified the similarity in essences between the Icicle and Dodo the Guardian of the Forest, someone he had never forgotten.
So he took them back to his brethren, extremely pleased with the subsequent results. He was glad that his few remaining clan members would be able to prosper with him.
As a matter of fact, he focused most of his resources on his Honourable Brother because even though he could have chosen someone else with more talent, he wanted this Brother of his that had been with him for such a long time to be his powerful right-hand man.
But this is the result of his faithful dedication.
A traitorous bird that was currently...
CRACK!
Cracking open the eggs of his Children and swallowing the contents.
When the ‘Honourable’ Brother had swallowed both Eggs, he quickly huddled closer to the Magic Icicle before initiating his breakthrough to Spirit Beast Realm and activating the [Evolutionary Blood Beast Technique] at the same time.
WHUUM!
The evolution had actually forced the equilibrium between the Ice and Fire Essences to undergo a terrifying fusion, causing the 2 opposing elements to fuse and create something new; Frost Flames!
The Honourable Brother didn’t know this but the scythe of death had just skimmed over his head.
Without the fact that the Honourable Brother also obtained the Life Elemental Essence from the Bloodline (whilst also gaining Life Affinity) that nurtured the process, even though the [Evolutionary Blood Beast Technique] worked and he would have managed to live, he would have become an abomination.
Unless he had a technique to fuse the 2 essences, it would cause the evolution to fail, and he would become an abomination. Though it would have belonged to the extremely powerful kind with the Fire and Ice Essence fighting against each other, refining themselves as the Life Essence restored the damage.
Come to think of it, this would have been an EXTREMELY dangerous abomination, but fortunately (for the residents of the World), the ‘opportunity’ was missed.
The previously mentioned compatibility had caused Ice and Fire Essences to be very slightly hesitant to harm each other, since they were tied to the 2 bloodlines at the time. This hesitation gave the Life Element enough time to ‘mediate’ the differences between the 2 and narrowly escape a terrifying result.
Soon, the process was complete. All the Magical Energy in the Honourable Brother’s body had vanished but he had accomplished his goal. He had become a Phoenix, but not only that, he had become something different to his brother, an Ice Phoenix.
If Eridel was watching, he would have been mentally clapping his hands with excitement whilst contemplating throwing a Divine Tribulation at the so-called ‘Honourable’ Brother. He really hated betrayal but it is what it is.
On a side-note, the only reason this Honourable Brother was still 2 metres tall was because he had lost all of his cultivation, becoming a ‘regular’ animal that wasn’t even a Stage 1 Magic Beast, he should be glad he didn’t become smaller instead.
And yet, in spite of all his gains, a greedy and cunning expression etched itself on the Phoenix’s face as the image of 2 dodo-looking-birds entered his mind.
He wasn’t done quite yet.
‘Oh deer brother~ How are you doing now? Are you taking good care of yourself? Oh please be well when I see you again~’
A look of disdain flashed on the Phoenix’s face as he flapped his wings and flew out of the cave with shocking speed.
As he rose into the air, he gave out an ear piercing Phoenix cry, not unlike that of his brother.
‘Haha, I always wanted to do that~’
