Chapter 663 Why Settle For One When You Can Have Two?
Shye knew the Phoenix could resurrect itself.
However, he didn't know how and what its rebirth would look like, which was rather dangerous, considering they only had one shot at this.
Still, they had to try and slay it. If today wasn't their day, so be it, at least they would know what to expect next time.
Even the WAA probably doesn't expect them to complete the mission, anyway, as there had been no cases of even heroes from the Yon Augenn Region completing such a high-difficulty mission.
Of course, Shye had other ideas, or rather, he suddenly couldn't mess up due to the notification right in front of him.
[Your next mandatory quest has been posted in the mandatory quests section!]
'This damned old man expects me to slay a damn Phoenix on my first try?!' Shye inwardly cursed.
He hadn't checked the mandatory quest yet, but he already had a good idea of what it would be—and sure enough, he was right.

'What the... why are the quest rewards to failure ratio getting more ridiculous? Only plus twenty to all attributes for slaying a freaking Phoenix?! A Phoenix!! But if I fail, I lose eighty points from each attribute?' he silently grumbled.
The old man had once told him that the system had its limitations and hinted that he would never want to know how the system actually obtained the points it rewarded him with. Naturally, this had piqued his curiosity, especially now that the ratios were becoming increasingly absurd.
'Maybe the old fart is running into a reward shortage?' he mused.
It was a classic case of newborn calves not fearing tigers.
Unfortunately, one had to pay for one's mistakes, and in this case, the fee was the Wind Dragon's life.
A few more moments passed. It seemed as though the Wind Dragon was about to collapse any moment now.
However, it was then that Shye suddenly had an idea.
Wasn't this the best chance for them to attack the Phoenix? Moreover, they could...
A crafty smile emerged from the corners of Shye's mouth. He wanted both creatures!
Young or not, a dragon was still a dragon, and its body was still probably tens if not hundreds of thousands of gold coins in value.
Knowing he had to act quickly, Shye shifted his attention to his comrades.
"Midnight Fang, let's start the operation."
Naturally, the veteran quickly grasped Shye's plan, but only to the extent that they should strike while the Phoenix was distracted, underestimating Shye's appetite.
Nodding at his party leader, Midnight Fang immediately cast his [Unique]-tier cloaking skill, [Dead Man Walking Lv.5], to hide Radiant Sentinel's aura, presence, and even his intent.

Shye even tried using his mana pulse to detect Radiant Sentinel. However, to his surprise, he couldn't.
It was as though Radiant Sentinel turned into the very essence of nothingness.
Of course, he was pleased. The better the cloaking skill, the better their chances of succeeding.
Once [Dead Man Walking] activated, Shye and Radiant Sentinel stealthily moved away from their position, separating from the group to circle behind the distracted Phoenix.
Once in position, Shye lifted the massive Shielder as if it were lightweight, watching the Phoenix's movements with narrowed eyes and intense focus.
The mythical creature moved at incredible speed, becoming a fiery blur as it constantly repositioned itself to attack the Wind Dragon from multiple angles while dodging its counterattacks.
However, despite the insane difficulty of doing so, Shye could still barely follow its movements.
'A bit more to the right...yes...aaaandd...NOW!!'
