Chapter 424: [ You’re looking for death, Godkin!! ]

Allen coldly looked at the monster in front of him. No matter how beautiful it looked or how rare of a beast it was, it had to pay price for looking down on him—and most of all, for injuring his woman.

That was the greatest taboo in his heart!

Allen raised his head and looked upward. Due to the collapse just now, he can now see a small hole towards the surface. Although it was a bit small, with its size, Allen, and the others can easily pass through it.

The five of them held their ground while waiting for the Fire Bird to make its move first. They were afraid that if they were to attack then, the Fire Bird would hide in the lava which will then made it hard for them to kill it.

As they stood where they were, they observed the monster.

“It is really unexpected that a mythical beast such as this would be in this kind of place. Besides, I felt as if this monster’s power was out of normal. This thing is basically a little different than an ordinary Mystical Beast.” Lama’s surprised voice suddenly sounded next to Allen’s. From the looks of it, the shock that this Firebird gave her was quite big.

Allen nodded his head in shock within his heart. He didn’t know what kind of mythical beast it was now since he hadn’t seen the likes of it before. However, the aura it released was certainly much stronger than the Phoenix he had seen in the previous life…!!

Even still, Allen has some suspicion regarding it and most likely he wasn’t wrong.

Against that Phoenix in his previous life, Allen with his former power was able to contend against it even though he lost miserably. But in this life, he was confident that if they would encounter again in this life, he would be able to defeat it without a problem.

But against this guy in front of him right now, Allen felt a bit depressed.

It was certainly a troublesome monster, this Firebird that is…!

“Master, what do we do now? This thing is actually so terrifying. We… do we capture it” Dakna anxiously asked Allen.

“Directly capture it? If I were at my peak, we could give it a try. Now… I’m not sure.” Allen smiled bitterly.

He was still a bit constrained right now due to the Curse of the Death Mask, thus, he wouldn’t be able to muster all of his power.

Of course, even with this handicap, Allen was certain he could defeat the Fire Bird or at least, make a draw with it. However, that was on the precondition that he must exhaust all his power as well as his life to do so.

Fight with no care for his life…

Using all his trump cards, he was confident he can defeat it—but what then…?

“… Looks like we really can’t reach understanding, you bastard bird brain,” Allen looked down on the Firebird. His enchanting eyes indifferently swept over the monster.

He clenched his hand and a black eerie sword flashed and appeared.

A fierce glow appeared in his eyes.

And at this time, the Fire Bird had already lost its patience, and roaring, it caused a blast of red-hot magma beside it to curl up. And as if heavenly maiden dispersing flowers, they fiercely shot towards the sky.

That ultra-high temperature seemed to be burning the air itself.

Thickly dotted with no gap, they completely blocked all the route of retreat of Allen’s group.

Allen smirked. His body moved. It rushed toward the Fire Bird in a ghost-like manner.

Circulating his magic power, he suddenly revealed bright golden blue radiance.

“Whirlwind!!” Allen let out a muffled shout which reverberated in this wide cave. And he slashed in the air with extremely fast speed—then, sparkling and translucent small tornados formed in an instant, and crackling with lightning sparks and furious wind. It was akin to a wrath of a Thunder God!

After that, along with the pointing of Allen’s sword tip, they whistled towards the blast of magma. And those blasts of red-hot magma were unexpectedly stopped the magma pillar and slowly devouring them while small wind blades whizzing all around.

Bang!! And as sudden as a flash of lightning, they advanced towards Fire Bird like roaring wild beasts—with several bang sounds, the Fire Bird was hit and directly smashed into the magma.

Cryyaaaaahhh.......!!

The Fire Bird was enraged and a flamethrower with a circumference as big as a five basketball instantly flew from its mouth. Allen raised his sword again when Dakna and Xinghong stood in front of it and let out their own flamethrower. Even Lan also joined in with its beautiful blue colored flames.

CRYAAAAAHHHH!!!

Contempt and disgust appeared on its pair of translucent gem-like eyes as the Fire Bird’s aura once again exploded and while attacking, it spreads its humongous wings and started rushing towards Allen’s direction. It wanted to kill Allen as soon as possible!

It started to fly out…!!

“Come! I’ll make you regret it antagonizing me!!”

Allen’s arms spread open.

A black thundercloud abruptly gathered above them.

“You bastard beast! Who do you think I am!? I’m the Emperor of Beast; Allen Bando!! How dare you look down on me!!” Allen scowled in a low cold voice.

“Punish the Damn Beast!! Mamaragan!!!”

Allen lifted his head to stare at the sky filled with black thunderclouds. His ferocious eyes gleamed with crazed colors. Within the thunderclouds, the golden and bluish-white lightning seemed to creep around like a massive dragon as it released an indescribable power.

Boom!

Immediately after, the dark clouds let out a deep rumbling sound, which echoed throughout the entire Cavern. Allen gritted his teeth and his entire body trembled.

CRYAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Feeling the strange yet wild fluctuation of energy and the dark thunderclouds above, a shock flashed across the Firebird’s eyes. A clear cry rang out once again. The Fire Bid’s enormous wings stretched out from within the flames and magma, then suddenly deep crimson flames surged out all over the place. It turned into numerous flame pillars and fiercely charged at Allen.

The Fire Bird actually dared to take the initiative to launch an attack at Allen while it was being kept still by Dakna and the others.

Boom!

The black thundercloud quietly surged and a lightning-started winding and swirling. Allen stared coldly at the flame pillars charging over at him. No anxiety and fear appeared in his still indifferent expression.

Then, a lightning-filled with destructive power immediately rushed down.

Bang Bang Bang!

The lightning and flames collided fiercely. The entire world seemed to have exploded at that moment, as countless ringing sounds that can burst one’s eardrums rang out one after another. Then, the loud rumbling sound made the earth tremble violently and cracks spread out from the cavern walls, slowly causing the entire temple of fire to collapse.

“Dakna, take Lama and fly out into the surface first! Fighting in this place would be detrimental to us…”

Allen muttered as he kept his gaze on the struggling Firebird. He waved his hands like a skillful conductor of an orchestra and the more his hands move, the stronger the lightning struck down the ground and the Firebird.

Dakna immediately nodded her head and grabbed Lama from Allen’s hands. With Xinghong and Lan, they flew out and break through the surface, where the heat of the sun that seemed to have been affected by the Temple of Fire’s effects.

Within the magma cavern, the flames, magma, and lightning were wreaking havoc crazily.

It was evident that Allen’s lightning is an extremely terrifying thing. The lightning descended down as if it was attempting to destroy everything in the world and shattered countless flame and magma pillars.

Cryaaaaahhhh!!! The Firebird let out a painful cry as it was bombarded by the massive thunderstorm above Allen. The flames on the body of the Firebird's body temporarily appeared somewhat dim for a short period after it received the ruthless bombardment of the thunderstorm.

It was when it fell back into the terrifying sea of boiling magma and blazing flames before the fierce flames once again rose from the large body of the Firebird. It seemed to be slowly celebrating its wounds and lost vitality!

The wild, violent energy within the Firebird appeared to have once again recovered greatly following the rise of the flame. This human… The Firebird slowly lifted its enormous head, and it fiercely glared at Allen who was suspended in the air while being covered by Lightning sparks like a real Thunder God.

I KILL YOU!!!!

Golden flames roiled around in the Firebird’s eyes.

The flames in its eyes were swirling in doubt as if it was cursing him. Seeing its pupils shrinking, Allen surmised that something was about to happen.

Cryaaaaaaaahhh!! Then just as Allen was about to withdraw, the Firebird cried out toward the sky, its voice akin to a mournful cry of a desolate Banshee. That sharp sonic wave appeared substance-like as it swiftly spread out. Finally, it shook the surrounding magma and fire pillars, carrying waves of swiftly shaking ripples, like a stone thrown on a still lake.

Due to the energy enveloping the area was far too large, Allen was also wrapped into it. It was fortunate that Allen was alert and intelligent.

Boom!!

He swiftly crossed his arms in front of his chest and jumped backward, towards the small opening to the surface. However, even covering his body with his aura, the heat and power of the Firebird’s flames still caused his arms to burn a bit, causing him endless pain.

“Tsk—!!”

Being directly hit by the shockwave, Allen’s body flew backward, passing through the small opening on time, he was thrown outside and landed heavily on the hot sands. His throat instantly had a sweet taste and he could not help but spit out fresh blood. It was as if the bones in his body were collapsing.

“Master!!”

“Allen!!” Seeing Allen came out, Dakna, Lama and the others frantically rushed towards him.

“Damn that bastard….” Allen wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth and let out a wry smile.

That power was just too strong and his logia body was useless against it. He felt as if he was a tofu in a wok full of boiling oil. Even his Dragon body was proven ineffective… Probably, because it wasn’t merely physical but pure flames that were burning his body—flames coming from its original body…!!

—It seems like not just pure flames, he felt something from those flames it emitted.

Emotions…pain…life…

Allen hobbled as he stood up. But just as he was about to call out to Dakna and the others, his face instantly changed as he lifted his head.

“Not good!”

There, a massive firebird was looking down on him.

At this moment, the flame on the fire bird’s body began to rise more intensely. Even the surrounding air had become distorted to the point where the gazes that were looking at the Firebird could only see a vaguely enormous body.

“Arrogant…!!”

Seeing this, Allen snorted as his aura burst out. His silver hair swayed in the air and his coat fluttered.

“Human… you have the guts to attack a mythical beast like me! It seems like the Godkins had apparently become egoistic just because I had kept my silence for long.” A deep voice rang out, spreading through the air like a ripple in the sky.

Allen smirked. “Hmph! What? You can’t finally endure acting like a mute and talk…? Or, did you finally realize I am not just a mere nobody…?”

Suddenly, the golden flame in the Fire Bird’s eyes glowed brightly. It was like two golden suns as it glared at Allen in hate and frustration. The flames around its body burned even brighter as if it was on fire and a fiery golden colored hazy crown appeared on its head.

“A mere nobody…? Does it have any differences? All of you are ants beneath me! Even High Gods bow to me! A mere Deity confronts me…? You’re looking for death, Godkin!”

Allen’s eyes narrowed. “Looking for death…? Hmph! We still yet to see who is really looking for death…!!”

The Fire Bird had finally shown its true self. Although Allen had gotten proof of his suspicions, he was a bit discouraged to see this. It seems like it was really Bennu and not just any Bennu. Judging from its aura and power… this bastard seemed to be even stronger…!!

“YOU’RE COURTING DEATH—GODKIN!!!!”

Was it cultivating itself within that Magma…?
