Chapter 664 Finally, Nothing Went Wrong
A golden blur shot skyward as Shye hurled Radiant Sentinel toward the unsuspecting Phoenix with immaculate precision.
It only took a moment, and the hulking shielder was already behind the mythical monster, capturing the despairing Wind Dragon's attention.
This alerted the Phoenix that something was behind it.
Unfortunately for the mythical creature, it realized a moment too late, as a loud, irritating noise suddenly rang out from behind, causing its eyes to blaze red with rage.
It wanted nothing more than to rip the source of the noise to shreds and blast it to mere ashes.
"SUCCESS!!" Radiant Sentinel exclaimed with a triumphant smile as he fell to the ground, immediately activating one of his strongest defensive skills the next moment.
The Wind Dragon didn't know what was happening.
However, it realized that the Phoenix's attention seemed to have been seized by the humans, who suddenly came out of nowhere and interrupted their battle.
'What a blessing!' the draconic creature thought, immediately escaping with its bloody and battered body as fast as it could.
Unfortunately, it didn't notice that before it could act, another sneaky human had managed to collect a sample of its blood from behind.
The Wind Dragon was too elated and focused on escaping from the Phoenix to care about anything else.
As it flew further away from the scorched mountain, it vowed never to confront the Phoenix again, even if it happened to encounter the mythical creature in the future and obtain a chance for revenge.
It was traumatized by the encounter.
If not for the sudden intervention of the humans, it would have met its end that day.
Meanwhile, the Phoenix had already reached the falling Radiant Sentinel before he could even make it halfway to the ground, causing every hair on the hulking Shielder's body to stand on end in sheer terror.
"F*CK!! DRAGON FORT!! GOLDEN BULWARK!! TITANIUM'S EMBRACE!!"
Despite his racing heart, Radiant Sentinel was still able to make sound decisions, using his defensive skills appropriately to defend against the Phoenix's consecutive attacks.
He didn't make it to the ranks of titled adventurers for nothing. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire
As a result, he managed to make a stable landing, the Phoenix right in front of him.
"Tomb of Frozen Ruination!"
Sure enough, in the next moment, the Phoenix's corpse transformed into a vermilion-colored egg, radiating intense heat.
Piercing Zephyr's eyes locked onto the target, and with steady precision, he drew the enormous bowstring back.
The fire-resistant arrow, designed for this very moment, was loaded and ready, his focus sharp as he prepared to strike before the creature could rise again.
*FWOOSH!*
The arrow hurtled fiercely toward the defenseless egg, propelled by a violent divine hurricane and a howling gale.
Moments later, it entered the intense heat zone of the Phoenix Egg, showing no signs of being incinerated.
Seeing that the arrow was holding up well, Shye and the other four breathed sighs of relief.
For the first time in Shye's career, nothing had gone wrong during a major mission.
Now, they only had to wait for the arrow to embed itself deep into the fragile egg, destroying it with relative ease.
However, they didn't anticipate that as the arrow approached within a thirty-foot radius of the egg, the heat would suddenly intensify, and the temperature would soar to unbelievable levels.
Even they, standing about one hundred fifty meters away from the Phoenix egg, could not endure the heat and were compelled to retreat further.
The intensity of the heat was staggering as if a small sun were positioned right in front of them.
Naturally, the arrow was suffering more than them, its dragon scale coating slowly disintegrating into ashes.
Luckily, there was still a thick bluestone coating.
At that moment, time seemed to slow to a crawl for Shye and his comrades, their eyes fixed on the arrow's fate.
Twenty meters... fifteen meters... ten... five...
Finally, just a meter and a half from the Phoenix Egg, the bluestone coating was reduced to cinders. All that remained for Shye and the others to rely on was the steel arrow and the divine hurricane.
"PIERCE THROUGH THE FLAMES, DIVINE WIND!" Piercing Zephyr shouted, causing the divine hurricane to roar and shield the steel arrow until it reached the egg.
CRACK!
A loud cracking sound reverberated as the steel arrow penetrated the egg, disintegrating almost immediately afterward. However...
Despite being severely damaged, the egg...managed to survive.
