Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 65: A Mountain

Hearing Rena's words, Alu couldn't help but sneer as he answered.

"Miss, even though you are strong, I thought that if there was someone I couldn't kill, you wouldn't be able to do it either."

Alu admits that the law of killing used by Rena is really so strong that it is dangerous even for those who are stronger than Rena.

But unfortunately that only applies to ordinary people with average techniques. That doesn't apply to Alu.

Although the law of fire is quite general, it is also one of the most dangerous of all.

Of course, compared to the laws of killing, space, or time, the laws of fire may still be much weaker.

But that's only for the common law of fire. Alu's law of fire, however, is no ordinary fire law.

Phoenix flames, it is one of the strongest flames.

People even refer to phoenix flames as Nirvana flames.

Only by relying on that fire the Phoenix clan could stand at the peak of countless living things and become legends everywhere.

If you look at the origin, phoenix flames don't just come from the law of fire alone. It is actually supported by several other laws.

When several laws were collected, they could naturally compete with or even surpass stronger laws.

If Rena only relied on one law, Alu was sure he could still suppress her even if they had an equivalent spiritual source.

"Maybe." Rena answered. "But there is always the unexpected... As the saying goes; two fists are better than one fist."

"Well, you're right. But unfortunately I have no plans to kill anyone at this point."

Alu wanted to ignore Rena after that, but Rena once again said something that made Alu dumbfounded.

"Hmph." Rena snorted.

"You underestimated my strength. You don't know what the law of killing is like. From the start, I could feel the killing intent from you when you looked at Krinn and Arlo."

"You can hide it from others, but not from me." Rena said.

Alu immediately changed his expression when he heard Rena's words.

Alu didn't think that Rena's ability was much more terrifying than he thought. She could even feel killing intent from him even though it was still just a plan.

In terms of senses, Rena might surpass him.

"Maybe she can even estimate my strength." Alu said to himself.

When thinking about that, Alu couldn't help feeling annoyed. ALU always hated that someone could see through him.

But this time Alu calmed down even faster.

Alu then looked at Rena with narrowed eyes. "Miss Rena, do you want to be my enemy?"

"Don't think because you have some ability, you can act recklessly in front of me. I said, if I want you to die, you will definitely die." ALU threatened in a cold tone.

Unfortunately, Alu's threat didn't scare Rena. She didn't change her expression, and she just answered Alu in a relaxed tone.

"One Nirvana spiritual weapon, and I can guarantee Krinn and Arlo's death." Rena answered.

She actually offered a price.

And when Alu heard the price of Krinn and Arlo's death, Alu couldn't help but be shocked.

"Are you crazy? What do you think that is Nirvana spiritual weapon?"

Alu might consider Rena's offer if things were out of his control. But hearing the price that Rena mentioned, Alu suddenly felt angry.

What is Nirvana spiritual weapon?

Just like ordinary spiritual weapons that only Life and Death stage experts can have which are basically late stages of the mortal realm, Nirvana spiritual weapons also only belong to late Nirvana, or the king of Nirvana.

It is the peak weapon of the Nirvana stage. If it's a living being, it has the peak power of the Nirvana stage.

For most Nirvana stage experts, they only used weapons that had Nirvana power, the same as the shield that Alu used or the armor that Varog used.

Such weapons are devoid of spirituality, which is why people under the Nirvana stage cannot use them. One needed raw strength to wield such weapons.

To make weapons that have spirituality, the best and strongest materials are needed. These materials must have the same strength as the peak Nirvana stage.

And, of course, even if there were the materials, making Nirvana spiritual weapons also required specialists in that field. Ordinary Nirvana experts cannot do it alone.

The price of such a weapon was extremely expensive. Even a Seventh layer Nirvana would spend all their wealth buying one Nirvana spiritual weapon.

In reality, even the Kingdom of the Phoenix only had one such weapon.

According to what Alu knew, his father got the weapon in a rubble left by a very powerful expert.

With his wealth alone, Zaden did not have the ability to purchase Nirvana spiritual weapons.

Under the king of Nirvana, only those with extraordinary backgrounds could have it.

How could Alu not be angry at being asked for one spiritual weapon Nirvana just for the death of Krinn and Arlo.

"Krinn and Arlo have strong backgrounds. Their values are naturally different. Besides, when I act, there will be no chance of failure." Rena replied.

"Since you know how strong their background is, aren't you afraid to invite disaster?" Alu asked.

"Hmph." Rena suddenly snorted. "True assassins will not be afraid of the target background."

"Oh, I see." Alu said to himself.

Now Alu knows why Rena can comprehend the law of killing when there are so many experienced assassins who can't.

The heart of a true Assassin. It was something most Assassins lacked.

No wonder he couldn't comprehend it either no matter how many times he tried.

He then said to Rena. "But Miss Rena, you should know Nirvana spiritual weapon is not something a little prince like me can have. I don't think any younger generation has it even if we look at the entire a thousand island region."

"I know!" Rena replied. "But you can pay me later. You can get it first. This is the holy path. In history, there will always be people who get the spiritual weapon of Nirvana whenever the holy path is opened."

ALU of course knows that.

"Well, even if I got it, I wouldn't trade it for Krinn and Arlo's life. It's not worth it."

"This is just an offer."

....

Not long after, people started traveling.

Although previously Alu was ignored because of Rena's presence, some people still greeted Alu.

Even some second-tier faction heirs tried to get acquainted with Alu.

The strength that Alu had shown earlier made them think of Alu as an equal partner.

...

The journey was still continuing, and there was still quite a distance before they arrived at the dragon gate.

And of course, they still encountered many wild beasts along the way.

Fortunately, for any Life and Death stage third layer beasts that attacked, they would only carry followers when attacking. Never had two Life and Death stage third layer beasts attack simultaneously.

With Rena taking the final step, they could always kill every beast that got in their way in no time.

...

About half an hour later.

"Look at that." Someone suddenly shouted while pointing forward.

Of course, almost everyone looked forward. So almost everyone saw it.

Far enough ahead of them, they saw a towering mountain floating in the middle of the ocean.

The peak of the mountain was covered with clouds so that they could barely see it.

However, even though they were still quite far away from the mountain, they could feel a mighty aura from the mountain.

And they also heard many roars of wild beasts from the mountain in front of them.

"Wow, the dragon gate mentioned should be on that mountain."

"It might be at the top of the mountain."

"But it looks like there are many wild beasts on that mountain."

People talking.

After seeing the mountain, they immediately sped up their flight. And in just a few minutes, they had arrived in front of the mountain.

But when they arrived in front of the mountain, they didn't see a single person.

"Shit, the others must have entered first."

"It's bad if someone already reaches the dragon gate."

"I don't think so. With so many beast roars, it's probably almost all the paths guarded by the beast group. There's no way anyone will be able to reach the dragon gate in such a short time."

After those last words, people calmed down.

Krinn who took the lead did not come straight in. He seemed to be observing the mountain first.

After a while, Krinn suddenly spoke.

"It seems like there is a barrier on this mountain. Those who enter will not be able to get out again for a while."

"What."

Krinn's words took people by surprise.

"How could it be."

"There are a lot of wild beasts in there. If we can't get out, won't we continue to fight against the beasts."

Some of the weaker people started to panic.

But to those who were confident, they didn't look worried. Some are even happy with it.

"Isn't that great. Since no one can get out, there's no way Jather can escape. With our numbers, we should be fine."

"Besides, I'm sure the dragon gate isn't the only opportunity on this mountain. There must be plenty of other opportunities considering how dangerous the place is."
