Jared took a deep breath to calm himself before asking Feenix, “You summoned these demon beasts to bring me here?” Nodding without hesitation, Feenix answered, “Yes. I made Blazing Tiger bring you here.”
“What do you want?” Jared grew anxious. He could barely handle the demon beasts, let alone Feenix. There was no way he could stand against both the demon beasts and Feenix.
“To kill you, of course!” With that, a murderous aura radiated from T body. Immediately after that, a flaming phoenix appeared behind her. Jared was at a loss for what to do when the horrifying aura enveloped him.
Why would she bring me to a place like this if she wanted to kill me? I never would’ve survived if the demon beasts attacked. There’s no need for her to make a move in the first place. Despite knowing that he was no match for Feenix, Jared would never surrender without putting up a fight.
Realizing Feenix was going to kill him, Jared gripped Dragonslayer Sword tightly. The Power of Dragons erupted, followed by a thunderous roar from the golden dragon circling behind him.
As the golden dragon faced off Feenix, al frightening aura engulfed the entire Demon Beast Mountain. There was not a single hint of fear in Feenix’s eyes as she stared at the golden dragon behind Jared. Rather, there was a look of excitement in them.
Shortly after, the murderous aura around her dissipated, and she ran toward him excitedly. Confused, Jared stared at her in a daze. “It’s true! You’re the son of a dragon! I’m so happy to have finally met you!”
Feenix ran over and hugged Jared tightly, ignoring the fact that she was a female. Her reaction left Jared at an utter loss for what to do. Hence, he retracted his aura and simply stood there in confusion, letting Feenix hug him.
Feenix’s warmth and youthful fragrance made his heart race, and his primitive instinct was slowly making his mind go blank. His breathing grew heavy, for he had the urge to carry Feenix into the room to vent his desires.
Regardless, Jared knew he could not do that. He began reciting the calming incantation, causing a pure and clear sensation to wash over him and dismiss his desires from earlier.
“Please behave yourself, miss. There should be a respectable distance between men and women,” said Jared calmly while pushing Feenix away. Feenix gazed at her own body and blushed. “I’m so sorry. I was too excited.”
At that, she turned to the demon beasts and waved her hand. “You’re dismissed.” Surprisingly, the demon beasts turned and left after registering her orders. Jared was stunned by what he saw. Never did he expect the demon beasts to understand human language.
“Let’s talk inside,” suggested Feenix politely. Jared nodded in agreement before entering the room. The moment they entered the room, Jared asked, “What are you exactly? You should still have an identity even though you’re a phoenix- transformed-human.”
Saying nothing, she poured him a cup of coffee and took a seat. Only then did she answer, “My true form is indeed a phoenix, but I don’t belong here.”
“You’re not? Then where are you from?” asked Jared. “I’m a phoenix from the Ethereal Realm. My master tore through space and time and dumped me here just because I ate a sacred fruit,” said Feenix sadly.
However, Jared was extremely excited to hear the words “Ethereal Realm.” After all, he had. been wanting to learn more about Ethereal Realm. He never imagined he would bump into Feenix, who came from that realm. This is great! I can learn more about the Ethereal Realm from her then!
