364 Immortal Bird (2/2)
Actually, she could sense that Roland could have the Phoenix Blood too, but she didn't want him to. She hoped that she could stay by Roland's side and help him.
It was her last chance and her personal wish. She didn't want Roland to leave her behind. It was obvious that Roland's future was nothing but promising even without the Phoenix Blood, but she was not as gifted as him.
Activating the Hero bloodline without giving the good stuff to Roland was the most selfish thing she had ever done.
After drinking the blood, she sensed a heat that felt like magma entering her stomach, before it spread to every part of her body.
It was very hot, but she couldn't be more comfortable. It almost felt like when she secretly drank a lot of wine when she was fourteen… Though she was sick and vomited a lot afterward, she enjoyed herself at that moment with the wine.
Her body trembled. She looked at Roland. For some reason, her eyes became blurry.
Then, she passed out.
From Roland's perspective, Andonara staggered and almost fell. He hurried to help her stabilize herself.
When he laid his hand on her hip, he found that Andonara's body was horrifyingly hot.
Her cheeks were red too… But Andonara did not evince any discomfort. Instead, she was like Snow White, sleeping soundly… or rather, the alluring queen with the mirror.
Roland picked her up and placed her on the stone table at the center of the secret chamber.
When Roland put her down, he found that she was even hotter.
He subconsciously stepped back. Seeing that Andonara was still sleeping deeply, he was reassured.
Then, he stared at Andonara for a while. Seeing that she was not waking up anytime soon, he opened the forum and read the new posts.
But after reading only a few posts, he felt that his forehead was being scorched. He closed the forum, only to see that Andonara was covered in blue flames.
The surface of the stone table had turned from black to red because of the high temperature, and Andonara's clothes had been burnt up.
Inside the blue flames, Andonara's beautiful naked body could be clearly seen.
Roland intended to approach her, but the intense flames forced him to retreat. Also, the temperature in the secret chamber was so high that he had to protect himself with a magic shield.
He stared at Andonara on the stone table. The blue flames had risen by half a meter after only several minutes, and the stone table seemed to be melting.
All the hairs on Andonara had vanished. She turned bald. Then, new hair and eyebrows grew out. Her hair grew longer and denser until it covered her in a golden cocoon.
Blue flames were still crackling from the cocoon. Roland looked at his mana bar, which was almost empty because his magic shield had been protecting him. He had to keep retreating and enlarging the secret chamber with Stone to Mud.
After he was eight meters away, he finally reached a balance between the cost of his magic power and its regeneration.
Roland watched it in silence.
Gradually, the blue flames died, until the golden cocoon cracked and Andonara sat up.
She looked at Roland and smiled.
Her long blond hair reached her heels like golden, translucent silk. Her sapphire eyes and her fair skin reflected a fascinating sheen.
Roland took a long breath. He had never been more amazed by Andonara.
It was almost like when he met the angel for the first time.
