Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

The flames surged, completely enveloping the Green Fire Phoenix, forming a solid Flame Shield once again, blocking all incoming attacks outside.

Iyas’s Holy Light had the blessing of [those blessed by the Holy Light], with strength far exceeding the norm, but due to the significant enhancement of the Green Fire Phoenix’s power, she couldn’t restrain it for long.

Soon after, the Green Fire Phoenix flapped its wings and broke free from the constraints, detonating the Flame Shield. Numerous pillars of fire scattered like crimson meteors around.

Luo Luosi deployed her shell, as she did to protect Yang Yu on the submarine, once again expanding her shell several times, forming a solid barrier in front of Lotcar to shield against the surging flames.

Bai Jin was chanting a powerful Water attribute magic attack when waves of flame pillars, carrying bursts of heat, swept over. Bai Jin had to temporarily stop the casting and raise a Defensive Barrier to defend.

Yang Yu, running along the wall, was also assaulted by waves of flames. The thick flame pillars crashed into the wall and burst open, ejecting countless small flame pillars, threatening to turn the surroundings into a sea of fire.

Like dancing in a trance amid the sea of fire, a red gleam flashed in Yang Yu’s eyes, his speed suddenly increased, deftly avoiding the countless flame pillars that exploded beside him.

Looking up at the Green Fire Phoenix, Yang Yu witnessed an incomprehensible scene as the blood volume of the Green Fire Phoenix, less than half, rapidly decreased like flowing water, suddenly dropping to zero.

Voluntarily exhausting life, could it be planning to...

As soon as Yang Yu had this thought, the Green Fire Phoenix let out a long, melodious cry, gathering its six wings together. Its entire body transformed into a dazzling magic power, which directly condensed into a car-sized dark green Phoenix Egg in the air.

Faced with this sudden change, Iyas and the others glanced at each other in bewilderment.

Yang Yu opened the panel, and the attributes of the Phoenix Egg appeared before his eyes:

[Phoenix Egg

Attributes: HP: ????, MP: ????

Strength ????, Defense ????, Intelligence ????, Special Defense ????, Speed ????, Endurance ????

Special: [Sacrificial Rebirth], when the life value is below 50% but above 20%, this status can be entered. This skill burns all the user’s potential, thus entering the Transcendent Form. The object reborn through [Sacrificial Rebirth] will lose all means of rebirth and will lose 0.5% of its maximum life value per second until it falls back to its pre-sacrifice blood volume.]

The Green Fire Phoenix has another form, Yang Yu frowned, becoming increasingly certain that this Green Fire Phoenix was custom-tailored for them, and it was striving to demonstrate its strength.

”Luo Luosi. Shell come!”

The surging flames had just ended when Luo Luosi heard Yang Yu call her name.

Even without Yang Yu explaining, Luo Luosi could guess the mischief Yang Yu intended.

The giant shell abruptly shrank, and Luo Luosi sat casually on Lotcar, commanding the shell to fly toward Yang Yu, aiding him to approach the dark green egg.

Seeing Yang Yu in action, Iyas drew the bowstring again, releasing glowing arrows that shot through Yang.

Unfortunately, the Phoenix Egg was exceptionally sturdy, and several glowing arrows barely scratched the eggshell.

Iyas attempted to disperse the glowing arrows into mist, infiltrating the eggshell to attack the Green Fire Phoenix within, but her attack remained largely ineffective as all the mist-like Holy Light was ejected by the Phoenix Egg.

Riding Luo Luosi’s shell, Yang Yu jumped onto the giant egg, using [Climbing] to cling to it, pulling out a large hammer to smash against the Phoenix Egg.

Bai Jin, also preserving the chant of a large Water Magic spell, used the sharp Frost Ice Arrow, smashing it onto the giant Phoenix Egg.

Luo Luosi and He Meng used skills that could strike the Phoenix Egg, trying to help Yang Yu weaken it as much as possible before the Green Fire Phoenix broke out of its shell.

Despite their teamwork, facing the Phoenix Egg whose attributes were all question marks, it was ultimately a futile effort.

After much effort, Yang Yu and the others only managed to chip away about 15% of the Phoenix Egg’s blood volume.

At that moment, a prenatal movement was heard from inside the eggshell.

Ancient letters circled the eggshell, forming a blazing flame.

In an instant, a massive force swept around, causing Yang Yu’s [Climbing] to fail again, and he was forcefully pushed toward the smooth wall by this [Flame Wave].

Activating the active effect of the [Incredible Braking Boots], seamlessly coordinating with [Climbing], Yang Yu clung to the wall like Spiderman.

A crack appeared on the Phoenix Egg, with scorching air gushing out, instantly raising the room’s temperature by several degrees.

A drop of sweat slid down Yang Yu’s forehead to his chin.

With a ”crack,” the eggshell shattered completely, bathing the space where Yang Yu and the others stood in dazzling green and red light.

The Green Fire Phoenix emerged from the shell, no longer retaining the appearance of a phoenix but transforming into a mass of roaring flames, its six wings reverting to a single pair.

With a melodious call, accompanied by a powerful wind pressure sweeping in, Yang Yu nearly couldn’t breathe.

The space where Yang Yu and the others were turned into a furnace, the surrounding air gradually becoming scorching, burning every inch of their skin.

Seeing the Green Fire Phoenix appear, Bai Jin completed the chant of the previously unfinished large Water attribute magic. Three currents intertwined to form a massive water tornado, shooting toward the Green Fire Phoenix.

The Green Fire Phoenix flapped its wings without dodging, directly crashing into Bai Jin’s water pillar. The water streams passed through the Green Fire Phoenix’s body, transforming into rising steam, the steam converted into magic power, which the Green Fire Phoenix utilized, making its flames burn more fiercely.

From Luo Luosi and the others’ perspective, the Green Fire Phoenix was shrouded in white mist, but instead of dampening its flames, the mist fueled them, making the fires on the Green Fire Phoenix burn fiercer.

The fiercer the Green Fire Phoenix’s flames, the faster it burned through Bai Jin’s water column. With more mist, the phoenix’s flames grew more intense... Such a vicious cycle quickened the Green Fire Phoenix’s advance towards Bai Jin.

Strangely, below the conflict between Bai Jin and the Green Fire Phoenix, where Luo Luosi and the others were located, a gentle rain began to fall.

Seeing the Green Fire Phoenix approaching, Bai Jin decisively interrupted the Water attribute magic.

In an instant, the Green Fire Phoenix’s speed surged, and it appeared in front of Bai Jin in the blink of an eye, the heat wave pressing Bai Jin almost suffocatingly.

In a critical moment, Bai Jin activated the [Acceleration Circuit], instantly increasing speed to avoid the core of the Green Fire Phoenix’s charge, but the intense flames still engulfed Bai Jin.

By activating the cloak’s active effect, a shield rose from Bai Jin, blocking the intense flames. She used Dancing in the Air to dive into the unburned white mist, momentarily escaping from danger.
