Chapter 757 -0754: Double Kill (Fifth Update, Alliance Hierarch Extra 2/56)

The Phoenix Egg commanded much of Liszt’s attention, but the massive tree that housed the Phoenix’s nest still warranted careful observation from him.

“This is a Cordyceps!” he discerned with ease.

However, the Elf of the Cordyceps was nowhere to be found. Liszt circled around the tree but didn’t find any Elves corresponding to the Cordyceps’ attribute.

“Where has this Elf gone? It shouldn’t have been eaten, since the Cordyceps hasn’t lost any mana… Could it be that the Elf was scared off by the Sub-dragon Phoenix and is too afraid to return, straying away from home?” This possibility still existed.

Therefore, he didn’t go far. After making a round, he returned to the Fire Attribute Cordyceps Tree and lay in wait, “Ach, have you figured out what breed this tree is?”

“I haven’t found any similar species recorded in the books, brother,” Ach replied as he plucked a few leaves and shook his head.

...

Liszt also picked a few leaves to examine.

The leaves were pentagram-shaped, somewhat similar to maple leaves in outline, but their edges were very rounded, quite different from those of maple trees. The whole tree was about thirty meters tall, with a straight trunk and rounded branches, and the bark was smooth, giving it a very unique shape. Liszt had never seen a tree of this style before.

“It’s not a maple. Could it be a parasol tree? No, that’s not right either, parasol trees don’t look like this.”

Phoenix, or rather, the immortal bird, is associated with legends that this Magical Beast likes to settle in parasol trees and that upon death, it would turn to ashes and then be reborn. Regrettably, legends are just legends, and the three bird eggs were good proof that even a Super Dragonkin Magical Beast is just a Magical Beast.

Even a Fire Dragon had to struggle, and with Liszt’s assistance, only then could it be reborn, how could a Sub-dragon possibly resurrect so effortlessly and be immortal.

Moreover, from the Envoy Group of the Steel Ridge Kingdom, the fact that they brought a Phoenix Feather meant that the Sub-dragon Phoenix was not considered rare; the Eagle Kingdom has them, so certainly, the Steel Ridge Kingdom does too.

Unable to ascertain the details, he left Ach to continue researching the tree while he himself watched the surroundings, waiting for the arrival of the Sub-dragon Phoenix, and concocting tactics — Dragon Knights were mighty, but he couldn’t guarantee how fast the Sub-dragon Phoenix would be; if it was too speedy, it would be hard to catch.

He waited until dark.

Liszt was in no rush, for birds must always return to their nests to incubate their eggs.

Indeed, as night fell and the forest of Flame Mountain quietened, with only a few calls from unknown animals sounding out, Liszt’s Eye of Magic suddenly discerned a mass of fiery red mana moving swiftly in the distance.

The mana outlined the shape of a large bird perfectly.

“Ach, be careful, the Phoenix is coming back!” Liszt drew out his Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword and rapidly entered a battle state, adjusting his presence to stay concealed.

Ach also promptly hid and was ready to connect with the Magic Web and cast magic at any moment, “Brother, my Water Ring Rupture is prepared.”

“Wait for my command.”

The tactic was simple. Ach would cast Water Ring Rupture to restrain the Phoenix, then Liszt would swoop in to break both of the Phoenix’s wings. What followed would be dodging the Phoenix’s magic and capturing it; if it resisted too strongly, they would call on Leo to suppress it.

In short, it was just a Magical Beast bird, no need for an elaborate setup.

The Phoenix was already flying back quickly, but as it neared the tree, it suddenly turned and circled around the tree in Liszt’s vision, emitting a clear and high-pitched call. It kept circling, never landing towards the nest, clearly having spotted the intruders.

“Still, our presence was exposed, and it has been detected by the Phoenix,” Liszt felt a bit regretful, but he didn’t slow his actions and shouted, “Ach, do it now!”

Boom!

The magic was cast instantly, and a huge water ring appeared out of nowhere, ensnaring the circling Phoenix.

“Screech!”

The Phoenix screamed and struggled.

Liszt attacked rapidly, shooting into the air like lightning, his Eye of Magic firmly locking onto the Phoenix’s position. He swung the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword fiercely at the Phoenix’s struggling wings.

Boom!

As expected, Liszt’s explosive attack broke the Phoenix’s wing. Its body tilted and could no longer maintain stability, plummeting downwards. With a loud crash, it hit the ground. Upon landing, it opened its mouth to release magic, a ring of intense Fire Attribute Mana spreading out, instantly shattering the Water Ring Rupture.

But it didn’t get a chance to catch its breath after breaking free; Liszt’s attack was already raining down like a violent storm.

Resembling the size of an elephant, the Sub-dragon Phoenix was directly pinned down by Liszt, and then battered the other intact wing with the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword, successfully breaking the bones.

In just a moment of confrontation, both wings of the Sub-dragon Phoenix were destroyed.

It emitted a wretched “screech,” and then its body emanated a new circle of Fire Attribute Mana, similar to the Fire System Advanced Magic – Fire Resistance Ring, but clearly more powerful. Liszt, fostering his Dragon Dou Qi, met it with Fire Attribute Dou Qi, offsetting the impact force of the magic.

Ach’s second spell arrived in time, once again restraining the Phoenix.

Seizing this window, Liszt quickly took out the manacles forged from Mountain Copper. He first clamped one foot of the Phoenix, then the other, pulling the spring of the manacle chain, and the Mountain Copper Manacles quickly tightened, securely locking the slim legs of the Phoenix. Another pair was successfully locked around the neck of the Phoenix, one end securing its beak.

After they were fastened, the Phoenix could no longer release any magic, its whole body’s mana flaring up only to burn as flame.

Its magic was also at a High Magic level, but what Liszt feared the least was Fire Attribute Dou Qi. Enduring the flames, he forcibly joined the two pairs of manacles together. Thus, the Phoenix was completely bound and could not move. Although he had to exert some effort, the whole process didn’t take long, as the strength of the Phoenix wasn’t too formidable.

It was only slightly more difficult than capturing Marquis Nuta, mainly due to its physical advantage, with an accurate combat strength roughly at the level of a Domain Knight.

“That was quite easy… Leo, you don’t have to keep calling out; you’ll get to eat Phoenix meat sooner or later!” Liszt clapped his hands and took the opportunity to soothe Leo, who was ardently clamoring to come out and eat.

How could he possibly allow Leo to consume the Sub-dragon Phoenix before studying it?

But just then, Leo suddenly alerted him that another Phoenix was rapidly approaching. Liszt instinctively leapt up from where he was. And as soon as he jumped away, a larger Phoenix swooped down, its wings sending out countless flaming blades that left scorched marks on the ground where Liszt had just been standing.

“Another one, perfect timing! One roasted, one boiled!”

Liszt already knew the power of the Phoenix, so he didn’t panic. After signaling Ach to release spells for distraction, a few successive rapid movements and attacks were all it took to break this Phoenix’s wings and throw it to the ground as well. Then he continued to use the manacles on the newly arrived Phoenix, in the same manner as before.

When the Steel Ridge Kingdom Envoy Group arrived and learned that the gift included Mountain Copper, he immediately instructed Iron Knight Alvin Eagle Sword to forge several Mountain Copper Manacles.

Prepared for capturing Phoenixes.

Mountain Copper is an indestructible Magic Metal, widely used in making locks, capable of securing Knights but more commonly used to lock Magical Beasts. Once a Magical Beast is locked, it is very difficult to break free without external assistance.

“Oh hoo!”

Seeing the fight was over, Leo was eager to call out again, impatient to come out and eat meat.

“Wait a little longer; we haven’t even started grilling yet. I don’t want to see you continue to eat raw meat. If you want to eat, eat cooked food, understood?”

“Oh hoo!”

Leo didn’t understand!
