Chapter 308: A Skill That Means Frenzy
While Godfrey vanished from sight upon activating invisibility, Isolde made her way to the mountain.
At the top of the heavily scorched mountain, she found large boulders placed around the top, taking the form of a nest.
Large blue feathers, bigger than a human, decorated the nest but these beautiful feathers made Isolde’s eyes narrow.
“Blue feathers. Isn’t this the nest of an orange chimeric phoenix?” She muttered to herself. Just then, a bird’s cry made her look up. A massive four-winged blue phoenix was heading for the mountain.
It just dropped a large bull with runes etched into its horns and let out the cry Isolde heard.
The phoenix had spotted her, even from that distance. In the next moment, the phoenix exploded with a sudden surge of speed that only got faster by the second.
Almost instantly, it closed in and spat a blue fireball at the nest. The flames had not even hit her but Isolde could already feel the scorch.
She free-fell backward as the fireball exploded upon contact with the mountain top. After falling for a few dozen meters, Isolde slammed the head of her spear into the mountain.
It carved through the rock but eventually stopped, allowing Isolde, who held the spear with one hand, to somersault twice and land on it with her feet.
With surprising stability, she lifted her head, looking at the phoenix that gazed down from the mountain top.
The phoenix’s eyes gleamed. It was a blue phoenix with flames two times hotter than that of an orange chimeric phoenix. It was the queen of this area, none dared tread into its domain.
Until now…
It spat another fireball at Isolde but the flames didn’t consume her. A violet portal appeared above Isolde’s head, and reappeared before the phoenix, tossing its own fireball back at it.
Doing that to a creature much stronger than her took quite a portion of mana to make it work but it did.
The phoenix screeched as it burst into flames. Every part of its body seemed to be made purely out of blue fire. It was enraged, exactly what Isolde wanted.
“I will make your death painful!” The phoenix spoke, descending to meet Isolde with a feral glint in its eyes.
Seeing it had immunity to its own flames, Isolde pulled out the spear from the mountain with her mind and fell once more. Her hair spread out, floating aloft.
This image reflected in the phoenix’s eyes, then it spat another fireball.
Violet light engulfed Isolde’s body. She vanished, reappearing at the bottom of the mountain, turned and ran.
Flames bathed the mountain in the next moment, roaring wildly and billowing after her as the phoenix soared mid-air. In its current form, everything around it was set ablaze, just like what the Chief Alchemist showed Godfrey.
The phoenix cried out, spitting several fireballs which Isolde either dodged or returned to its face.
’Almost there.’ Isolde said inwardly as she was halfway across the scorched landscape but at this moment, the phoenix opened its wings wide.
A fierce gale, accompanied by blue fire, gushed out in every direction. It swept Isolde off her feet, launching her into the air.
Mid-air, she made ice mist burst out of her armour to counter the flames before crashing once, spinning mid-air to balance herself and planting her spear as she hit the ground the second time.
This time around, she landed properly and slid backwards, her boots and spear creating small trenches.
The phoenix was already upon her. “I’ve got you.” The bird’s eyes gleamed as flames rolled to its beak.
On the other hand, Isolde smiled behind her helm. She was in the perfect range for Godfrey.
Suddenly, the phoenix snapped and spat the largest flame it had ever unleashed. These flames, not blue but violet. It was sudden and instantaneous.
Clearly deliberate. And in Godfrey’s direction.
“Child! I’ve lived long enough to have felt the pain of sneaky pests.” The phoenix snickered while Isolde’s eyes widened.
That flame had a hue of a fire even hotter than the blue flames. It was almost two times hotter than the blue flames and moved faster than anything they’ve encountered.
Fast and unavoidable. That was the blue phoenix’s hidden ace, her hottest flame, none had survived it.
She had seen him, acted like she didn’t because something about him told her that man was a dire threat.
“Frey!!” Isolde screamed, launching her spear at the phoenix but it twisted its neck away, snickering only to spot a silhouette in the dwindling violet flames.
How?!
Godfrey’s golden eyes gleamed through the visor as he drew the great bow to the limit.
“I have to say, you’re epic.”
The Immortal Armour chuckled in return. Sensing the threat, the phoenix tried to create distance but Isolde clenched her fist and her spear, which the phoenix dodged, came back.
Completely covered in frost, it pierced through the phoenix’s wing. In its elemental form, that didn’t do much damage but it disrupted its flight.
With one wing slapped down, the phoenix lost balance and fell.
Right then, the first arrow, made out of ice using the basic summoner skills he learned in Manhattan, packed with immense mana, struck the phoenix.
Ice spread out as it screamed. When the ice was about to dissolve, another arrow came, and another. Countless arrows flew out with Godfrey’s arm moving relentlessly.
His muscles swelled, mana flowed through him, shaping long arrows which were instantly released. He was like a machine… like a humanoid machine gun.
This was Ballistic Havoc, a skill that meant frenzy, pushing one beyond the normal.
To Isolde, it sounded like bombs were detonating unceasingly.
The earth around Godfrey sank, inch by inch with every arrow he fired. Each arrow packed with the intense frost of the snow elf Lysander fused with.
With a loud cry, the phoenix collapsed, completely covered in ice and arrows. “You will die!”
Her voice suddenly rang as her eyes snapped open and she breathed flames into the sky. It pierced the atmosphere and large balls of flames began to fall from the clouds.
A rain of fire and annihilation.
