I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Chapter 30 The Abyss of the Dead (1)
Ainzel ran quickly, but worried that Verafia, the ferocious phoenix, would eat her pet pigeon, so she had to return obediently.
As time entered deep night, Flarn, beside Verafia, was also taken back to the tent by the sleepy Ophi and fell asleep in her embrace. Verafia casually picked up a small stone and moved it to the side to sit down, propping her face with her little hands, her beautiful big golden eyes falling on the End that the elf girl was constantly forging.
Ig looked at the girl’s slender figure, hesitated for a moment, and then walked forward, draping a long coat over her thin, fair shoulders. “Young Lady, it’s so late, aren’t you going to rest?”
“I’m not sleepy!”
Verafia blinked her big eyes and said, “Besides, I don’t trust this idiot elf to handle your sword alone. It cost this young lady a lot of effort to repair it back then.”
Verafia really doubted whether Ainzel, an elf whose actual age was only fourteen or fifteen in human society, truly had the ability. If she accidentally broke the End, Verafia would be so angry she would die.
However, although Verafia was constantly worried, Ainzel still focused her attention, and her forging skills also slightly surprised Verafia.
However, although it was just a repair, it required considerable energy. All night long, until the morning sun rose, the wood elf finally managed to repair the End with great difficulty.
“This Sword…”
Verafia took the sword from Ainzel’s hand and tried to activate her magic power. On the End, in addition to displaying bright and radiant flame markings, there was also a faint, deep, and cold will.
Indeed, it was the substance she had encountered many times in the past few days, seemingly the “Abyss”… the color that represented deathly stillness and decay. But Verafia couldn’t determine what impact it would have on the End and Ig.
Verafia gently stroked the smooth blade of the End with her fingertips, and her slightly furrowed thin eyebrows relaxed. The girl gently shook her head, raised her scorching gold eyes, and handed the End to Ig beside her.
“Young Lady, how is it?” Ig asked with a hint of worry, hugging it.
“How would I know? This is your sword, you can try it yourself!”
Verafia glared angrily at the boy beside her and said. Ig was unfairly scolded, but he still obediently shut his mouth and took the End.
Verafia actually understood why she had been unable to let go before. Although she repeatedly said that “End” did not belong to her, deep down, she still regarded it as the former Tegasol.
However, at this moment, since she couldn’t judge it, Verafia decided to let go a bit more.
“However, I just took a look at this sword, and it does contain the will of the ‘Abyss’… Although this young lady doesn’t know what will happen, you guys should be careful!”
Verafia raised her scorching gold eyes and looked at Ig, who was channeling Dou Qi into the long sword and preparing to try, warning him.
Ig hurriedly nodded, expressing his gratitude for his Young Lady’s rare concern.
Suddenly, Verafia felt her sleeve being pulled by a small force. The girl looked back and saw the pitiful big eyes of the wood elf.
“Um, Verafia, can I have my Huhu back now?”
“That pigeon… Hmm, fine, this young lady is not someone who doesn’t keep her word. Here, catch!”
Verafia had intended to welch and use this to trap the seemingly talented elf blacksmith. However, looking at the girl’s eyes, Verafia thought of something and finally nodded, dispelling the magic cage that had trapped the Fire Pigeon.
“Huhu!” The Fire Pigeon quickly flapped its wings.
The elf girl quickly caught the Fire Pigeon. Her long white ears drooped, and her big eyes were filled with tears. She held the Fire Pigeon tightly against her chest: “Wuwu, Huhu, you must be good from now on and not leave me…”
The reason the Fire Pigeon was caught by Verafia was that it had suddenly flown away from Ainzel the previous evening.
“Huhu huh!”
On the elf girl’s soft chest, the Fire Pigeon seemed to feel quite comfortable, chirping and flapping its wings.
“Wow, Verafia, you actually returned the pigeon? I thought she would have eaten it directly.”
From a distance, Ophi looked enviously at the Fire Pigeon held in the wood elf girl’s arms.
She had wanted to pet the Fire Pigeon for a long time, but at first, she was afraid of being burned. Later, the Fire Pigeon’s flames were sealed by Verafia, but the Ice Dragon Girl was too shy to ask.
The Ice Dragon Girl didn’t notice Verafia’s suddenly angry gaze and curiously walked up to Ainzel. “Elf, where are you going? Why don’t you travel with us!”
Ainzel was startled, her long ears immediately perked up, and even the Fire Pigeon in her arms chirped in panic.
Although it had only been one night, Ainzel had a deep shadow cast by Verafia and Flarn. If the Fire Pigeon hadn’t been in her hand at the time, she would have run away long ago.
The wood elf girl was just about to shake her head when she suddenly stumbled. Her small deerskin boots on the ground lost their balance. Verafia, who had just made an angry expression towards Ophi, was startled and quickly released magic to stabilize herself. A hint of solemnity appeared in her golden eyes.
“Young Lady, is this… an earthquake?”
Ig placed his palm on the ground, trying to stand up. He felt the entire ground trembling, as if a deep ravine was about to be torn open.
“…”
Verafia just shook her head slightly, her expression on her cheeks turning cold. She could clearly sense the almost boiling elemental particles in the entire elemental ocean, as well as the magic fluctuations carrying a bloody aura.
Mixed in were nauseating decay, deathly stillness,
“Perhaps… someone’s domain is about to open again,” Verafia turned her scorching gold eyes and said softly.
“What does your Young Lady mean—”
Before Ig could understand the girl’s words, suddenly, in his perception, he was enveloped by blackness that surged rapidly, and his entire consciousness, and even his body, suddenly plunged downwards!
—
Ig didn’t know how long the fall lasted. He felt something hard hit his back, and the intense pain made him involuntarily let out a sound through his teeth.
From such a high distance, Ig estimated it to be at least a thousand meters, but he wasn’t smashed into pieces, just felt pain.
“This is…”
Ig grabbed the ground, and in his hand was soil that was gray and white, like ashes. The boy tried to stand up and looked around. The surroundings were all a gray hazy color.
