Chapter 63: Lord Phoenix Spirit (1/2)

”Lexi, I need your help here please.” Seth asked for her help, but she had closed her external senses while focusing on absorbing the spiritual energy. She wasn't able to help him right now.

Even if she were to appear and try to help Lilian somehow, it would be a useless attempt. Lilian's situation was critical, out of Seth's reach. If he were connected with her through Soul Link, he could at least help her hold on for a bit more, but it was impossible right now.

Seth felt the first prince turbulent aura behind them and a feeling of hatred and anger took control of him. Those emotions have never been so strong inside of him before.

The first prince felt that his aura was really strong, but at the same time, totally out of control. He took a lot of time to adjust his entire body in order to attack again. His murderous intent was as strong as before.

He was about to charge again to finish his enemy, when suddenly he felt his entire body turn cold. However, for some reason, his blood was boiling. He looked towards Seth and saw that there was a sinister aura around him, making him unconsciously take a step backwards.

Seth couldn't even feel his power coming back and stronger than it was before, since all that mattered to him right now, was to rip his opponent apart.

The Seed of Tyranny resonated with his corrupted emotions, giving him more power. There was something making his blood restless, something closely related to the third seal of the seed. That seal was weakened after the slaughter of those beasts and was already able to provide him a bit of energy now, even though it was still sealed.

Seth did not move to meet his enemy, he wanted to end his life quickly, so he used his Darkness Cage. However, what was once a dark attribute skill, was now totally different and distorted.

Dark red spikes appeared everywhere around the prince, instead of pitch-black ones. The energy circling around them resembled a bloodthirsty beast feeling thirsty for its favorite drink.

Instead of piercing the first prince, the spikes started to spin before being launched towards him. The speed presented by the spikes was nothing compared to the speed it has shown before. They shot through the air, not giving a single chance for him to react. When the Wu Martial First Prince noticed, he was already pierced by those dreadful drills.

They drilled the prince's body from all sides, sealing him inside a coffin of bloody spikes, however his blood didn't spurt everywhere, because it was sucked, making the spikes turn into deep red crystals.

The wild energy around the Wu Martial Kingdom First Prince, was thoroughly destroyed by that attack. He couldn't even scream before his gruesome death.

Seth was still feeling that it was not enough, his mind was starting to get corrupted by those bad feelings, but when he saw Lilian on the floor, he somehow came back to his senses. If he wanted to save her, he would need to act fast.

However, before he could even start to think of a way to save Lilian, he heard the sound of a huge door opening on the distance. He looked at the place the sound came from and saw that the giant exquisite phoenix gate was open. There was a mystic feeling coming from inside, trying to invite him to come closer.

Seth had a feeling that whatever was inside, if it was related to the phoenix beast, then it could be helpful to Lilian. The phoenix was known for being a Divine Beast with a supreme fire attribute, but it had a mythical ability to heal as well. There were even some fabled stories about its ability to rebirth.

Seth took Lilian with a princess carry first, injecting his Mana inside her body, controlling most part of her injuries and stopping them from further deteriorating. He could feel his connections with his Mana now, since the Seed of Tyranny recharged some of his energy.

This labyrinth would stay opened for six more days and the people inside would only be able to leave it through normal ways, after that time has passed. Since he was stuck with Lilian at this place, he decided to try his luck and see if he could find something that could heal her, inside that chamber.

He carried her with care, while passing through the gate, entering in a big imperial corridor. Seth proceeded with caution, but it was unnecessary, because there was no threat for them inside that chamber.

After crossing the corridor, he arrived in a spacious hall, that was littered with treasures. There were so many relics and treasures, that it could supply the need of an entire sect. But what caught Seth's attention, was an altar fully decorated with phoenix patterns. It was located right in the middle of the hall.

Seth was planning to approach the altar, but as he was getting closer an immeasurably strong pressure descended towards him.

Chirp!

A phoenix of fire appeared atop the altar, showing the world its might and prowess. At the same time, many torches were lighted around the hall, making the environment really bright.

Seth could not move a single muscle. All he could do was wait and pray that it wouldn't be an enemy.
