Chapter 124 - Phoenix (2/2)
Regret. That thought has never came across Nightin's mind. He was confident that even if he chose to ditch the black pearl and leave, the Phoenix sword would accept his decision obediently without an argument.
In this world, it is near impossible to find a divine sword which has the underlaying potential to evolve and be compatible with the sword wielder, not to mention a sword which awakens wisdom early on and trusts its master.
Such swords would usually have their own pride and would only choose those talented geniuses that stand out among those demons, those that stand above those at the first tier pyramid.
The other case would be their master being weak and only progressing quickly due to their assistance, yet the masters were just treated as tools usually for them to obtain evolution treasures.
Suddenly, the Phoenix sword began to glow with burning light as it started to take on shape.
The Phoenix sword burst into a mixture of flame energies as they concentrate and gather together to form an entity, something unbelievable flashing before Nightin's eyes.
Phoenix, just what are you up to this time? Nightin asked in his mind.
Body. Limbs. Face. The glow of scorching light gradually took on the shape of a human female with long crimson hair that flowed and overlapped each other perfectly behind her back.
Her skin was porcelain and her light crimson eyes reflected off an enchanting beauty, she was a beauty in all aspects and no man alive would possibly even have the courage to approach her.
As for her clothing, there were only some smooth crimson feathers which were barely covering her important parts, yet Nightin only glanced for a moment before averting his gaze away.
She was just like the proudest drawing of an artist whose skills are unmatched in this world, creating the first artwork in his life that came alive in human form.
”Phoenix?” Nightin muttered out, his voice so soft that she had to learn close to listen.
”Yes, it is me.” Phoenix said, her voice crystal clear with an alluring beauty to it.
If it was under usual circumstances, Nightin would already be blushing right now. But given the current circumstances, his body systems were already failing him, even breaking out a smile right now would deem as an impossible feat.
It was as this time that Phoenix said ”I am sorry, if only I was not around, you would not have risked your life to obtain the black pearl.”
”No, it is my fault, your lackluster flames were caused by me, I lacked the ability to help you grow in the past and even now that I'm stronger, I'm just a seed which has grown into a sprout.” Nightin said on his last breath as memories flooded into his mind just like a violent tidal wave.
