Chapter 3 Phoenix And Spirit Ship

  • Kiran gawked. His heart pounded as he looked up at the night sky above that mystical Whispering Forest.
  • "Is that real?" he whispered incredulously.
  • Clearly in the sky there, is the appearance of two creatures that can fly.
  • The ability to fly, or ride creatures that can is something very luxurious in the Ayax Continent. It's a luxury that people like Kiran wouldn't be able to afford. He did know. If in this world there are a handful of humans and legendary creatures who can make such a high flight. The story of the Phoenix Clan's Sage fight against Emperor Hersen.
  • Kiran was a child who was very fond of hearing stories and fairy tales. He often left their settlement and headed to a stall where adults drank called Tavern.
  • At the Tavern there, Kiran always awaits the opportunity for Mr. Niraj Singh, to begin his legendary stories. Mr. Niraj Singh is a storyteller who sells legendary tales at the Tavern.
  • With his dark brown face and grey hair commensurate with his piercing eyes, Mr. Niraj Singh can be known as a non-native of the Qingchang empire. The storyteller came from the empire of Zolia, The region to the west of the Ayax Continent.
  • Lord Niraj Singh was trapped in the Qingchang Empire, when Emperor Hersen, Emperor Oberon The Enchanter started creating a magic veil that restricted the 5 empires on the Ayax continent.
  • Already trapped in the Qingchang Empire and unable to return to Zolia, Mr. Niraj Singh decided to become an itinerant storyteller while seeing an opportunity to return to the Zolia Empire where he came from. For many years there was no way to go to Zolia, so Mr. Niraj Singh decided to settle in Begonia City while being a storyteller who often repeated the story of Sage's fight against the Warlock Emperor.
  • Although it looks weak, there are rumors that the storyteller is a master of charm. It is said that he came from the Devahari Tribe in Zolia, one of the tribes that are famous for being very skilled with his magical and spiritual abilities. This Devahari tribe lives in gloomy mountains that are difficult for ordinary people to encounter.
  • It is his passion and admiration for the storyteller that makes Kiran aspire to become a charming master later.
  • In the sky of the forbidden forest...
  • The two luminous figures glare closer and closer, now flying past Kiran's head, chasing each other at incredible speed.
  • It didn't take long for Kiran to realize that the two lights chasing each other, it was the figure of a large Phoenix bird being chased by a Spirit Ship.
  • Kiran was terrified!
  • It was abstinent for a commoner in the Qingchang Empire to witness firsthand the practices of magic, let alone combat as he had seen. Rule number one of the many rules set by Emperor Hersen was when commoners witnessed activities or acts of magic they had to close their eyes. If violated and found out then a prison sentence will be received.
  • But the fear in Kiran's heart evaporated quickly like the dew dissipated by the heat that the chasing spirit ship repeatedly shot from the mouth of the chased Phoenix.
  • His fear was replaced by euphoria, the excitement of watching a magic fight in the sky there. A sense of awe grew in her heart, Kiran's heart was eager to become an Enchantment master.
  • When the spirit ship maneuvered so that it was a little closer to the ground, Kiran gawked.
  • "This is a Spirit Ship full of Pyromancer Enchantment Masters – firebenders, and waterbender Hydromancers? Soon. I'm really lucky. This is the most incredible incident I have ever seen" Kiran lost his vigilance. Slowly he left the trunk of the pine tree, now standing in a small field so that he was free to look up at the sky unobstructed by pine leaves.
  • His face beamed, his eyes flashing, Kiran kept all the details of the fight in his mind.
  • "Even my three friends, those brats, must have never witnessed the existence of a Pyromancer and a Hydromancer. What's more, I witnessed firsthand, those charm masters are riding spirit ships that can fly!" Kiran was ecstatic. He thought that his friends would die of jealousy when he heard his story. The annoyance and anger of being left behind until lost in the depths of the forest whispered, now making Kiran grateful.
  • Wush.
  • The sky turned red. The fire was about 100 meters long with a diameter of more than a quarter of the length of the fire.
  • The huge winged phoenix breathed fire. Kiran was amazed.
  • The phoenix moves gracefully when it bends or flicks its wings. Its body is twenty-five meters long, almost as long as the opponent's spirit ship. He looks like a giant eagle but his feathers look beautiful like peacock feathers. Its beautiful feathers, a combination of dark blue and sky blue, sometimes also look white and orange when the fire burns off behind the beautiful feathers.
  • Whenever the Phoenix moved, both from the head like the fiery crown, as well as from the tips of its wings and tail, it always left a trail of blazing flames. The nails between the two pairs of claws on the legs look sturdy and sharp like a sword.
  • Kiran watched the fight with a heart that was beating faster and faster like a gong being beaten in a row. When the Phoenix breathed huge flames, the goal was to burn the huge sails on the chasing ship. The enchantment experts on the spirit ship shouted breaking the desert.
  • "Water! Water Curse...
  • the Hydromancers must act immediately, or we will die" the voice sounded panicked.
  • "Ah!"
  • Kiran couldn't help making a sound. His mouth let out a small scream, following the tense bandwagon as the spirit ship attacked with the Phoenix burst of fire, suddenly sprayed a fountain, much like a waterfall shower in a tropical forest - seen radiating continuously, endlessly.
  • Still with his mouth open he saw on the deck of the ship, five Hydromancers waving their hands forming seals in the air, it was over and over again. Large water such as a waterfall shower was created from the movement of seals made by the five experts.
  • All the Hydromancers summoned water from the void, then extinguished a gust of hot flames from the Phoenix. The state of battle is even more exciting. The ten charm masters were undaunted even though their opponents were legendary creatures. And Kiran was even more excited to watch the free demonstration.
  • It seems like the target of the ten enchantment masters - Pyromancer and Hydromancer - is to conquer the Phoenix.
  • Kiran suddenly turned compassionate. Inexplicably, he sympathized with the huge creature that looked troublesome. It seemed like the Phoenix didn't look in Peak stamina. Even according to Kiran, all fire shots from the Phoenix were done carelessly and inaccurately.
  • Kiran thought. Although this is an old story that is not told, Kiran remembers the fairy tale that is often brought by the storyteller at the Tavern named Brimm the Liquidator Begonia City.
  • One of the most frequently repeated tales of Mr. Niraj Singh at that time was the story of a fierce battle in the sky between a Phoenix Clan Sage against Emperor Hersen's Warlock. Phoenix is a legendary creature that was used as the spiritual power of the Sage at that time.
  • Unfortunately, in the story told by Mr. Niraj Singh, the Sage with the Phoenix named Flame - his spiritual being - is lost in the fairy tale told by Mr. Niraj Singh.
  • For some reason, Kiran's heart is sad every time she hears the story of the Sage fighting the Warlock Emperor. Since the first day, Kiran heard the story of the two high-level magicians' fight, he has always imagined the Sage and Flame - Sage's spiritual creature Phoenix.
  • Now watching the battle of the Phoenix in the sky - hunted by ten Enchantment Experts, Kiran's heart inexplicably felt sad. He remembered the unfortunate fate of Sage's spiritual creature Flame.
  • Meanwhile, the fight in the sky looks increasingly intense. The Phoenix was even more angry seeing that his burst of fire could be broken by the five Hydromancer experts.
  • The Phoenix squealed, his voice loud and terrifying.
  • This time the Phoenix was no longer breathing fire at those ten fire benders and water benders. It seems that he changed his strategy.
  • The Phoenix swerved in the air, its body flying ninety degrees straight toward the sky. Kiran stares fascinated at the trail of fire and reddish mist, sometimes orange or blue - that's the mark left over from Phoenix's shadow. He flew straight toward the sky, getting smaller and smaller.
  • A loud voice from inside the Spirit Ship sounded giving instructions.
  • "Don't let him off the hook.
  • Where is the wind controller - Aeromancer? Block him!" his voice boomed. Kiran's heart thumped even faster at the sound.
  • "There are still other wizards? An Aeromancer? Who exactly is Phoenix? Why did so many wizards specifically come to attack him?"
  • Now Kiran began to frighten. This is not a simple thing. Almost half of the nicknames of those charm-controlling sorcerers are on the spirit ship there.
  • "Should I hide? It's a serious matter if I get caught off guard watching this forbidden battle!"
  • Kiran was upset.
  • When it came out again three other charm masters, who were the wind-benders - Aeromancers. At that moment Kiran's fear faded already. The appearance of the windbenders who looked authoritative made him reluctant to hide.
  • Kiran again voiced restrained. Although not flying like the Phoenix, the Aeromancer witch was seen floating them floating within two spears from the deck of the spirit ship.
  • "Impossible!" Kiran couldn't believe it.
  • But Kiran did not have time to analyze it longer. He saw them waving their hands, then a typhoon was created. Kiran stared at the incident with a huffed look.
  • "Cheating!
  • Now thirteen people have fought and attacked the Phoenix alone!
  • You shameless wizards!" Kiran cursed. He forgot that the incident in front of his eyes was not a magic show. It was a life-and-death battle.
  • This time he looked up at the sky with his chest-beating wildly. The phoenix swooped sharply while the spirit ship was seen drifting across the sky at high speed, making gestures to collide with each other.
  • "I can't imagine what will happen!" Kiran's face was filled with horror. Subconsciously his hands closed his eyes, but his fingers left a small gap for him to peek.
  • It is certain that if the two huge objects collide, an explosive explosion will occur. The spirit ship with its cargo of dozens of barrels of fuel, while the Phoenix with a trail of blazing fire, came out of every flapping wing and every trace of its tail flick saw sparks, burning in orange sometimes blue.
  • Wush!
  • The huge fire sprayed by the Phoenix while diving sharply, ready to scorch the spirit ship and everything in it.
  • "Dead!" cursed Kiran from the periphery of the field. He felt as if the Phoenix was his friend.
  • Of course, the inhabitants of the spirit ship did not want to die silly. They act quickly. The Five Hydromancer Enchantment Masters waved goodbye. The water dew spread when the ship flew at high speed and formed a water shield in front of the ship's platform, so they escaped the fierce fire.
  • Kraak!
  • Unexpectedly, the Phoenix twisted agilely, then he made a cornering motion, and with two claws looking like spearheads, glowing darkly like those ten Black Steel swords, he tore open the body of the Spirit Ship.
  • The 10 claws went deep and tore the body apart, making the Spirit Ship lose its balance. The flight was instantly swayed and then circled in the air.
  • As if dissatisfied with his re-enactment the punish maneuvered in the air, knowing he had been close to the sail of the spirit ship which was 98 feet long.
  • "Danger! The ship is in danger!" The voice of instruction sounded.
  • "All the occupants of the ship, get ready for the impact on the mainland!" A nervous voice came from inside the spirit ship. At that time, the spirit ship could no longer maintain its balance. He's not just swayed. But now the ship is diving fast with the platform pointing towards the ground. In the count of 10 possible collisions will occur.
  • Kiran dared to swear. He saw the look of a smile; it was visible on that Phoenix's face.
  • "Can that Phoenix speaks? Why does he understand the frantic words of the spirit ship?"
  • But the smile on the Phoenix's face quickly faded. Suddenly a man stood at the stern of the falling ship. He spoke in a language that was difficult to understand, his mouth squashed and his hands waving at the Phoenix.
  • Kiran stared in disbelief as the man threw an object the size of a child's fist, gleaming like metal. The next shocking incident happened. That little thing suddenly turned exploded and turned into a giant Sword.
  • Kiran was speechless. His tongue couldn't speak anymore. The small metal thrown by the man instantly turned into a sword and pierced the Phoenix's chest.
  • "Dead!"
  • Kiran was still hearing the curses from the man on board the spirit ship when the sword in her hand poked and lodged in the chest, following the sound of the spirit ship's violent impact hitting the ground, falling across the magic illusion wall. Tongues of firefly into space, and the smoke is in the shape of a small mushroom, seen crossing the magic wall.
  • "The ship exploded!" Kiran panicked. Yes, witnessed an important event that he should not have witnessed.
  • During her shock, the Phoenix's body fell, drifting closer and closer to the place where Kiran was watching.
  • "Danger! That phoenix is about to crash into this Whispering Forest! That fire?"
  • Kiran ran to the safest place according to her, to avoid the full impact of the flames of the Phoenix who might have died.
  • CONTINUED.
