Mythology Rebooted-Chapter 582 - 247 Phoenix_3

"Odelia, no need to explain, explaining is just a cover-up, and a cover-up is the fact."

Wayne waved his hand, "Remember our pact? If we both get knocked out, we’ll return to Lundan and marry."

"In your dreams! I would be crazy to marry you!"

Odelia could no longer restrain herself, and with a wave of her hand, she shot a green light straight at Wayne’s chest.

She couldn’t stand it, and Veronica, even less so. She took a step forward, dispelling the Parasitic Spores with a gust of her fists, moving swiftly as lightning. She scooped up Odelia around the waist and rushed into Villa No. 3 behind them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The house was being torn apart.

Wayne peeked out, hoping that Veronica would go easy, as they were all sisters sharing the same bed in the future. There was no need for things to escalate to a point where no one could save face.

Regina shifted to block Wayne’s view, meticulously introducing herself, "Regina Miller, candidate for Holy Maiden from the Prussian section."

She was dressed in black, with a white shirt underneath, wearing black boots, and her slacks were slim and straight. Her attire was efficient, without a hint of frivolity.

"So it’s the candidate from the Prussian section. I’m Wayne, and it’s an honor to be your adversary." Wayne smoothly switched to the Prussian language. He originally didn’t know this foreign language, but somehow he had picked it up unconsciously.

It was hard to say where he learned it—it might have been from Windsor’s MI6, or perhaps Frank’s intelligence agency.

The familiar language made Regina feel somewhat favorable towards him, and she then warned, "Just a friendly reminder, you and your teammate are marked for elimination due to your outstanding performance. Today, you’ll be taken out."

"Should you really say that out loud when so many people are listening?" Wayne sighed. This girl didn’t seem too bright.

"Don’t worry, no one is paying attention here right now..."

Regina smiled slightly, "Do you understand what I’m trying to tell you now?"

Wayne frowned, then relaxed his face, "Thanks for the tip. As a token of my gratitude, I’ll make sure you lose with dignity."

"You seem like a decent guy, aside from being stubborn. No wonder you managed to get Odelia to be your girlfriend..."

Regina raised her fists, ready to strike, "We’re on the moon here, both Faith Magic and Elemental Magic are weakened, so I’m sorry, I can’t provide you with a showcase of strength for your exit ceremony."

"That’s enough, no need to go on, or I’ll start guessing who’s targeting me."

Wayne shook his head, "You seem decent too. If you don’t become the Holy Maiden, come find me in Lundan, and I’ll offer you a passionate romance."

Since no one was paying attention, he didn’t need to pretend to be a gentleman any longer.

"Hmph!"

Regina snorted coldly, and the ground beneath her feet exploded with white sand. Her Essence of Life was far beyond that of an ordinary candidate, and it was almost in the blink of an eye that her gloved fist reached Wayne’s face.

Slap!

Wayne caught it firmly, his fingers tightened and twisted Regina’s fist to the side, "Not bad, you almost hit me. Put some more effort in, your future boyfriend will appreciate the challenge."

A flash of surprise crossed Regina’s eyes, but she didn’t overthink it. She surrounded herself with a faint red glow, high-temperature flames swirling around her fist as she increased her strength by a notch.

The effect was mediocre, and she still couldn’t free her fist from Wayne’s grip. After huffing and puffing, she failed to pull it back.

Sweating bullets yet, sis?

Regina stared blankly at her fist. The Fire Element was fading, the flame dying out wherever it touched or got near Wayne. He had cut off her control of the Fire Element entirely.

It was indescribable. She had never encountered such a situation before, as if her very bloodline had betrayed her.

Desperately fleeing as if afraid to be the last to do so.

No, instead of betrayal, it felt more like suppression.

"Wayne, your bloodline..."

"Just an ordinary person, with a slightly stronger Elemental Affinity."

Wayne explained thoughtfully, and as he spoke, his gaze passed over Regina and landed on Villa No. 3, which had been reduced to ruins. freēnovelkiss.com

Odelia and Veronica were engaged in close combat, not using magic, but purely physical brawling. Although she was being suppressed and at a disadvantage, Odelia still managed an equal exchange with Veronica, making it a tie.

Wayne had a keen eye and spotted the same kind of flames on Odelia’s body.

"Look here, pay a bit more attention," Regina reminded Wayne very politely, just before throwing a punch.

The effect was still mediocre, as Wayne firmly caught both fists, his struggle to twist free reminiscent of a couple playfully fighting in the street.

Realizing she couldn’t compete with Wayne in terms of strength, a spark of determination flashed in Regina’s eyes, and as Wayne stood with his guard down, she went for a headbutt.

Wayne loosened his grip and with a move akin to an embrace, caught the charging Regina in his arms.

Regina’s expression changed as she erupted in intense flames around her, heat soaring like a fiery torch. The high temperature melted the surrounding white sand, creating a molten red pit.

At the edge, a mosaic of colorful crystals gradually hardened.

High above, the Ruby that was unreachable for Wayne responded to Regina, a red column of light with a diameter of five meters descended, transforming into a blazing red Phoenix behind Regina.

The Phoenix wrapped its wings around Wayne just as tightly as he held Regina.

Waves of surging heat rolled up, leaving Regina without a temper to speak of.

She continued to unleash the power of her bloodline, reaching its peak, calling for a response from the Phoenix, but Wayne remained unmoved, not a single hair singed.

Between the two of us, who really has the bloodline of the Phoenix?

Regina was convinced; she had been told her competitor was strong and needed to be eliminated early, but she had not been informed that the competitor possessed the same bloodline as her.

Moreover, his bloodline was purer than hers, utterly overwhelming her Essence of Life.

Wayne cradled the beauty, uttering perfunctory sweet nothings, his arms tightening around her, making Regina’s complexion turn unsightly.

She was very tough, not pleading even as she trembled in pain, not even uttering a moan of agony.

Boom!!

On the pale ground, two pillars of fire shot up into the sky, converging mid-air to form a Phoenix with a hundred-meter wingspan.

The Phoenix was completely red, its head held high, the golden flames that burned fiercely on its body shaping a crown. Its beak was sharp, its claws curved, flashing with the luster of a metallic blade.

With a deafening cry, it spread its wings, stirring up streams of scorching air. Golden feathers aligned in rows, the air twisted around its elegantly spiraling body, and from afar, it resembled a small sun slowly ascending.

Beautiful, yet dangerous!

...

At the same time, two figures hid outside the barrier, silently observing without uttering a word.

"They are the Pope’s people, the Pope doesn’t want Wayne to continue to stand out, he’s preparing to send him away, hence that letter, and..."

"The one who left the portal in the Prophet Hall isn’t the Pope."

"Maybe, but who it is now is no longer important. Kill him and pin the blame on the Pope."

"I understand, it’s all his fault, he shouldn’t have appeared!"
