This woman...
Su Xuan’s gaze lingered on the woman for a mont longer.
Sothing stirred within him. He tried to pull up her information panel, but was surprised to find that, just like with Edith, it was full of question marks!
"Su Xuan, you’re here!"
Roxia quickly rose to her feet and spoke to the young woman beside her. "Princess Vivian, I have so business to attend to, so I must step away for a mont. Please wait here. I will return to speak with you once I’ve taken care of things."
"Before you go, won’t you introduce to your friends here in Sunset City?" Princess Vivian asked, her voice soft and pleasant, carrying a hint of curiosity and inquiry.
"Of course!"
Roxia imdiately made the introductions. "This is Mr. Su Xuan. He’s an outstanding Guild President."
"A Guild President? What a remarkable talent. It’s a pleasure to et you, Mr. Su Xuan." Princess Vivian gave a charming smile, her gaze falling upon Su Xuan. Her eyes were as bright and clear as autumn pools, and her golden pupils shimred with a faint light, as if they could see right into a person’s soul.
"Hello, Your Highness," Su Xuan said with a polite smile.
The Princess’s smile gave him an inexplicable feeling of warmth; it was completely devoid of the high-and-mighty Pride common among mbers of the Royal Family.
"And these other two are Adventurers from the Su Xuan Guild..."
"A pleasure to et you."
"Your Highness, hello. It’s an honor to et you," Ivsha replied respectfully.
Rosaline, on the other hand, perford a standard Knight’s salute, expressing her respect and reverence for the Princess.
"Since Roxia has important matters to discuss with you, I won’t get in your way." Princess Vivian stood up and made her own way out.
As she was leaving, she glanced back at Su Xuan and Ivsha, the corners of her mouth turning up in a aningful smile.
That smile left Su Xuan deeply puzzled. ’Does she know ?’ he wondered.
’And those golden eyes... a Witch?’
After bidding farewell to Princess Vivian, Roxia led Su Xuan and the others underground, deep beneath Sunset City, once again arriving at the area where the Fla Cocoon was located.
The Fla Cocoon still stood there, radiating waves of scorching Fla.
"I hope everything goes smoothly this ti."
Roxia opened a glass box she had brought with her. Inside rested a blue crystal-colored shard that emitted a biting chill.
"Are you sure this thing can destroy the Fla Cocoon directly?" Su Xuan asked Roxia curiously.
The information for the Frost Fragnt appeared in his vision.
[Frost Fragnt (Elite): A fragnt that emits a powerful chill, as if it could freeze anything.]
’An item with a freezing effect? Still, if it can freeze the Fla Cocoon solid, that’s certainly a viable solution.’
"Yes! The Icefield Snow Maiden was not only a Witch, but she also possessed the Ice and Snow Protection. She once used her Magic Power to permanently freeze an entire nation, one no smaller than the Star Kingdom. A Frost Fragnt manifested from her residual Magic Power can definitely destroy the Fla Cocoon," Roxia explained with confidence.
"I see."
Su Xuan fell into thought. ’A Witch with the Ice and Snow Protection? This world seems to have many different Laws. A brief encounter like this is nowhere near enough to fully understand it.’
"Then let’s begin."
At Roxia’s command, two of the accompanying Knights imdiately took out Magic Scrolls wreathed in a chilling aura. The mont they opened the Scrolls, a Magic Barrier of frigid air enveloped the group.
In addition, several other Knights drew longswords that radiated a cold aura, appearing ready for battle.
During these preparations, the distant Fla Cocoon seed to sense the Magic Power from the Frost Fragnt and imdiately went berserk!
Instantly, a sky full of Flas ignited above the ashes. Countless fla-like silhouettes coalesced within the sea of fire, casting hostile gazes upon them.
"Fla Spirits?"
Su Xuan frowned slightly. He hadn’t expected the Fla Cocoon to be able to create Fla Spirits out of thin air.
Furthermore, each of these Fla Spirits was at Level 10. No wonder Roxia had brought several Knights with her; this must have been the reason.
"Mr. Su Xuan, I must ask you to guard . I will reward you generously once this is done," Roxia said solemnly to Su Xuan before taking action.
"Okay."
Su Xuan nodded. His entire purpose in coming here was to destroy the Fla Cocoon; there was no reason to refuse.
After receiving Su Xuan’s reply, Roxia’s confidence seed to grow. She imdiately strode forward, advancing toward the Fla Cocoon under the protection of the Magic Barrier.
As soon as they stepped into the sea of fire, countless Fla Spirits surged toward them like a tide.
The accompanying Knights imdiately launched a counterattack, repelling the Fla Spirits one by one with swords that glead with a cold light. Su Xuan also had Rosaline and Ivsha join the fight to prevent any accidents.
Through their combined efforts, the Fla Spirits were gradually eliminated, turning into wisps of smoke that dissipated into the sea of fire. Not daring to relax in the slightest, the group continued to press forward, rushing toward the Fla Cocoon’s location.
"This is pretty easy," one Knight remarked casually.
"Much less trouble than when we suppressed the Fla Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly last ti," another Knight chid in.
"Hahaha! Of course it’s easier! After all, we’re not fighting the Fla Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly now, but the Fla Cocoon it turned into after it died!"
As ti went on, the group drew closer and closer to the Fla Cocoon. Their pace quickened, and the joy in their hearts grew stronger.
Compared to the battle to suppress the Fla Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly more than ten years ago, today’s situation was far easier.
But Su Xuan’s expression was tense, his eyes fixed intently on the Fla Cocoon.
He had noticed that, starting a minute ago, the color of the Flas around the Fla Cocoon had begun to change.
The color of the Flas shifted from red, gradually turning to orange, then yellow... and finally erupting into a purplish-red hue!
’This can’t be a simple hatching. It looks more like an evolution!’
"Sothing feels wrong. We have to speed up!"
Roxia had also noticed sothing unusual and imdiately ordered everyone to increase their pace.
"Aren’t you worrying too much, Roxia?"
"We’ve been through the real subjugation of a Fla Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly. That was way more dangerous than this."
"Relax, the Frost Fragnt can definitely handle it."
"Follow Roxia’s command. She’s the head of the family now."
The Knights picked up their pace, charging forward with all their might.
However, when they were only about fifty ters from the Fla Cocoon, suddenly—!
A blast of heat washed over them!
Imdiately after, terrifying Flas crashed against the Magic Barrier like ocean waves.
"Dammit! What the hell is happening?"
"The temperature of the Flas has increased! The Ice Scroll can’t hold on much longer!"
"Why? The Ice Scroll could withstand the Flas produced by the Fla Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly when it was alive, but it can’t handle the Flas after its death? What kind of joke is this?!"
"This is bad! We need to retreat now, or we’ll all die here!"
At this mont, the faces of the many Knights were pale with fright!
They had never anticipated that the Fla Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly’s Flas would suddenly intensify to such a terrifying degree. In the previous battle, such scorching heat had never appeared!
At the sa ti, Su Xuan finally understood the source of it all.
In his vision, the information panel for the Fla Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly was flashing rapidly.
[Fla Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly (Epic) is evolving into Magic Fla Silver Phoenix Butterfly (Legendary)...]
