Chapter 577 Rebirth from the Ashes: The True Form of the Demonic Phoenix!
A high-density fireball containing terrifying energy gradually rose into the air, and as it gained altitude, its heat increased and its size grew larger.
From a distance, it looks just like a miniature sun rising from the continent!
"This magic power—" Erza's pupils contracted, and she stared at the giant fireball with a pale face.
Feeling the destructive aura emanating from it, she couldn't help but feel horrified: if it were to fall, not only would the Principality of Veronica be destroyed, but the land within a radius of several thousand kilometers would probably be completely destroyed!
Even she was in such a frightened state, let alone Nazuna Lucy and the others, who could only tremble under that oppressive feeling.
The demonic phoenix absorbed not only their magic power, but also Chess and Bahamut who were watching from behind, and even the Fairy Tail members who were fighting the demon on the Nether Beast were not spared!
Therefore, it is not surprising that the resulting Nirvana Fireball possesses such power.
"If we let it continue like this, things might not turn out well," Bahamut said gravely.
It was confident it could survive the destructive energy of the fireball, and it was estimated that Chase also had this ability, otherwise it wouldn't have stood there obediently letting the phoenix absorb it.
but----
It's hard to say about other people, or even those human kingdoms and towns that are closer to this place!
Chase slowly pulled the card out of thin air, a hopeful smile appearing on his lips: "It's a simple matter. Just let this great gift digest itself."
After facing Maldo, he felt increasingly that there were fewer and fewer opponents who could help him get powerful cards, and missing one would mean missing another opportunity to become stronger.
Therefore, the phoenix before us, or rather, the phoenix after its rebirth, is not to be missed.
With two god cards as a safety net, there's absolutely no need to worry about messing things up.
More importantly, the phoenix only absorbed a portion of the magic power of the mages present.
The resulting destructive fireball might be difficult for Erza and her companions to withstand, but in his view, it wasn't to the point where they were helpless!
hum!hum!hum!
With a powerful, thunderous heartbeat, the heart magic was activated, and a continuous stream of magic power gushed out like a fountain, instantly filling the void left by the absorbed magic power.
Chase has returned to his peak form!
At the same time, the demonic phoenix let out a sharp cry. The huge fireball that reached the top of the clouds paused for a moment, and then fell from the sky at an extremely fast speed, with its target being the entire continent centered on the phoenix!
"Come on, let me reveal your true colors!"
Chase seized the opportunity, channeling all his magic into the card at his fingertip before flinging it out.
A large card array unfolded amidst radiant light, unleashing a torrent of holy energy that coalesced around the demonic phoenix into three massive lightsabers imbued with intense sealing power, engulfing the giant fireball.
Then the next second—
Boom!!
The giant fireball slammed into the phoenix like a meteorite, creating a deafening explosion!
A crimson wave of fire, seemingly intent on burning everything in the world to ashes, roared out and crashed into the light barrier formed by the Holy Light Protective Sword.
The collision of extreme energy caused the earth to tremble violently, and holy fragments mixed with firelight scattered everywhere, filling the entire world!
The terrifying commotion lasted for almost a minute before it subsided.
When the lightsaber dissipated, a gentle breeze dispersed the thick black smoke that had filled the area, revealing a crimson glow to the eye.
On the ground, which had been melted into magma by the high temperature, the original huge round monster had disappeared. In its place was a humanoid monster that was only a little over two meters tall, covered with fiery red feathers, and had flame wings on its back!
The demon's eyes were slightly closed, and its breathing was steady; there was no unexpected, terrifying pressure.
And this is precisely what reflects its extraordinary nature.
"Huh? How come you turned into a human? Does that mean I can't roast you and eat you anymore?" Happy said, somewhat disappointed.
"Hehe, although you can't eat the meat, its flames look delicious!" Natsu stared at the flames wrapped around the humanoid phoenix, his mouth watering.
"You two are really something!"
Lucy simply couldn't stand these two idiots who only cared about eating.
Even if she was slow to react, she could vaguely sense just how dangerous the humanoid monster in front of her was.
Without knowing the information about the phoenix's rebirth, from her perspective, the monster simply "ate" the magic orbs, including Chase and Bahamut!
"Watch out, it's coming!"
Erza's exclamation abruptly pulled Lucy back from her吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to criticize or complain) state.
As soon as he finished speaking, the humanoid phoenix opposite him seemed to awaken from a dream, slowly opening its eyes, which were engraved with ancient totems.
Crash!
A powerful shockwave erupted instantly, easily overturning the earth like bubbles and creating sonic booms wherever it passed!
Despite Erza's warning, Natsu and the others mustered all their magical energy to prepare for defense, but the impact was too terrifying, and they were blown away on the spot after only a few seconds!
Chase, who was waiting in the back, reacted quickly and turned into a blur as he sped out, with Exodia's sealed left and right hands appearing behind him.
He reached out his right arm and caught Erza steadily, pulling her into his embrace. His left arm grabbed Lucy and hoisted her onto his shoulder, while Wendy and Juvia were precisely intercepted by Exodia's flying hands.
Then, with a clean and swift retreat, he landed steadily.
Boom!
At the same time that Chase, who was carrying four girls, landed, there were two muffled thuds coming from behind.
Natsu and Gray pulled their heads out of the ground.
The two buddies, completely disregarding their disheveled and disheveled appearance, turned to Chase and shouted in unison, "You bastard Chase! You did that on purpose, didn't you?!" x2
"Hahaha, well, you're all too far away from me." Chase laughed as he put Erza and the other three down.
"Hey, stop arguing, you shameless gambler!"
In the distance, Happy, who had also missed the catch, looked around and said with relief, "Thank goodness I'm not hurt!"
"You dead cat, can you get off me before you say things like that?!"
Well, Xia Lulu was rather tragically pinned down by it.
After kicking the dead cat away, the white cat looked at Chase with deep resentment in its eyes.
Unaware that he had been unwittingly resented, Chase took a step forward to face the humanoid phoenix, and the long-dormant passion within him began to boil.
The phoenix, having absorbed his and Bahamut's magic and undergone a rebirth, is definitely a formidable opponent worthy of our full effort!
Seemingly sensing danger emanating from the human before him, a hint of surprise appeared on the cold and aloof face of the humanoid phoenix.
"Human, you are very strong," a hoarse voice came from its mouth.
"So it can talk?"
Chess paused for a moment, then laughed, "Your old rival, the Demon King, said the same thing, but now, the grass on his grave is probably two meters tall."
While this is true, the Demon King at that time was forced to be beaten from his demon egg state to be born prematurely, making him a premature baby in a sense. His power was naturally incomparable to that of the Phoenix, who had completed the entire Nirvana process.
"Demon King, you killed him?!" The humanoid phoenix's pupils contracted.
The long-buried memories resurfaced. As sworn enemies who could not overcome each other, it was well aware of the power of the Demon King, a native species, and yet this human was able to kill him.
To verify the truth of Chase's words, it unleashed the power of the phoenix, swinging its arm to unleash a magma wave that stretched for a kilometer.
The magma waves instantly blocked out the sunlight, casting a shadow that blotted out the sky, and the high temperature released from it distorted and deformed the space itself!
"An attack of this magnitude with just a flick of the wrist? That's way too exaggerated!" Lucy was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Chase.
"A test, huh? Interesting."
As the heatwave hit, Chase calmly held up the card between his fingers.
Defensive arrays lit up one after another, blocking the way in front of everyone, like an indestructible wall that completely isolated the lava waves!
sizzle.
The waves of fire crashed down, lava splattered everywhere, and landed on the surrounding earth with a terrifying scorching sound, raising plumes of white smoke as rocks and soil were instantly vaporized.
Meanwhile, the area where Chess and his group, including Nazgre behind them, were located remained intact!
"As a return favor, I'll greet you with this trick."
Chase grasped a jewel-encrusted magic wand from the void, spun it twice, aimed it at the humanoid phoenix, and unleashed the signature spell of the Chaos Dark Magician.
"Destruction Spell - Ultimate Death Curse!"
A jet-black energy blast, crackling with chaotic electric arcs, shot from the tip of the staff, hurtling along the melting earth and carrying with it a large amount of lava.
Seeing this, the humanoid phoenix advanced instead of retreating, clenching its sharp claws and punching forward with all its might.
Since the other party said it was a greeting, it couldn't avoid it!
Boom!
The Phoenix Fire and the Destruction Energy Blast collided head-on, stalemated for a few seconds, and then vanished without a trace as the humanoid phoenix took two steps back.
"Good personality, it seems we'll get along very well."
Chase laughed, not at all surprised that the humanoid phoenix could withstand the final death curse.
If you can't even do this much, then all your efforts will have been in vain!
With this thought in mind, Chess no longer hesitated, putting away his staff and activating several magic cards in succession.
Unicorn Horn, Book of Arcane Arts, Pot of Greed —
It's only when he's in a serious state that he activates the full card buff!
"Xiao Ba, you take everyone away from here first, I'll take care of this guy."
99
Upon hearing this, Bahamut nodded slightly and raised his hand to release a dark purple aura that enveloped Natsu and the others.
To be honest, after seeing the destructive power displayed by the humanoid phoenix, it actually wanted to fight it to its heart's content and make up for the regret of not being able to fight it four hundred years ago.
However, since its elder brother had spoken, it had no choice but to comply.
"Hey! You bastard Chess, let me out right now! Don't even think about taking over the fight with that guy all to yourself!!" Natsu slapped the dark purple aura with considerable displeasure.
"As expected of you, you still have the desire to fight at a time like this—" Lucy exclaimed, wanting only to leave as quickly as possible.
Although Natsu's Fire Dragon Slayer Magic can counter Phoenix Flame, the difference in power between the two is simply too great.
The humanoid phoenix shattered Chesgo's magic with a single punch!
Erza was also aware of how troublesome the humanoid phoenix was, but she would definitely choose to unconditionally trust her man's decision.
Therefore, the Fairy Queen's attention was entirely focused on something else: "Chess, wait, wait until the battle is over, I...I...I have something I want to show you!"
"Things?" Chase asked hesitantly.
"It's a wedding dress! Erza has been talking about it ever since we started." The innocent and adorable Wendy blurted out, looking quite relaxed.
"Warm-Warm-Warm-Warm!!" Erza exclaimed in surprise.
If she hadn't been protected by Bahamut's energy aura, she would have definitely rushed over and covered Wendy's mouth!
"I see, then I'll have to look forward to it." Chase smiled, finally understanding the reason for Erza's strange behavior.
Erza's face instantly turned bright red.
Lucy, who had almost suffered a loss not long ago, wanted to say, "Is it really okay for you guys to set such a flag?" But then she thought about it again and put her mind at ease: "What kind of flag can withstand Chess's punches?"
In the end, Bahamut naturally disagreed with Natsu's recklessness and left with the noisy boy and the others.
Once they had retreated to a safe distance, Chase summoned the full set of Exodia components to arm himself.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
The sealing chains swayed, and the bronze fists collided, creating a powerful gust of wind.
"You must be the strongest among humans, right?"
The humanoid phoenix stared intently at him, its eyes igniting with a savage ferocity unique to demons. "Once you stand in my way, the defeated world will once again be bathed in the flames of destruction!"
"Kill me or destroy the world? Go ahead and try if you can!"
Without much verbal exchange, the moment the words fell, Chase, fully armed, and the humanoid phoenix bursting with flames simultaneously darted out, leaving a fleeting afterimage in their wake.
next second.
Boom!!
The earth collapsed, the shockwaves spread, and the fists of both sides collided solidly!
After a brief stalemate, Chase roared and took the initiative. An ancient totem lit up on Exodia's right arm, and with a punch, he forcefully sent the humanoid phoenix flying backward.
This was just the beginning. He took a heavy step forward, raised his hands, palms facing each other, and dark golden energy continuously accumulated and compressed in the hollow center, quickly condensing into a dazzling ball of light: "Demon God—Flame Cannon!"
The demonic energy beam violently tore through space and shot out at an extremely high speed.
In the blink of an eye, it caught up with the humanoid phoenix that was flying backwards, and exploded into an extremely exaggerated mushroom cloud at the distant landing point!
Whoosh!
Before the explosion had completely subsided, a vast expanse of crimson flames rose up from the area.
A beam of flame, comparable to the Demon God's Flame Cannon, pierced through the mushroom cloud and shot straight toward Chase, instantly destroying the area where he was located!
Two long, deep trenches appeared on the ground, which was covered in fire and water. At the end of the trenches, Chase slowly lowered his arms, which had been crossed in front of him.
White smoke rose from the surface of Exodia's sealed hands. Despite feeling the long-lost pain in his arms, Chase remained unmoved, and the fighting spirit in his eyes surged even more fiercely.
"It's even hotter than Natsu's fire. If it were that idiot, he should say something this time—"
Crimson light intertwined and swirled on the Exodia armor, gradually coalescing into the majestic phantom of the Sky Dragon Osiris.
The aura unique to the gods then emanated.
Chase took a step forward, and the phantom of the Sky Dragon moved with it, opening its huge mouth and roaring at the humanoid phoenix opposite it.
"I'm fired up!"
Indeed, only evenly matched battles are truly exciting!
