I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 116

Chapter 116 Chapter 34 The Forging Hammer and Flames (Part 1)
“Ah, it’s nothing, it’s just that the flame on that vampire was erased by someone. I didn’t expect it to be him…”
Verafia slightly paused her steps, shaking her small face in response to the young man’s question.
What Verafia felt just now was naturally that the flame mark she left on the Blood Race Girl was crushed and extinguished by a domain. However, through this, she clearly sensed who the owner of the domain was.
Fernos Morleson, a sword technique disciple of Oran, the commander of the Western Front Army in the former Demon Race War, and his most tenacious warrior, naturally had a not shallow acquaintance with Lothel.
Thinking of this name, a hint of complex emotion flickered in Verafia’s slightly raised pupils.
She really didn’t expect that person could still be alive. If it was him…
“However, if it were him… Hmm, let this young lady think.”
Verafia spoke, her slender white hands supporting her cheeks, and then lowered her small face, turning her eyes, showing a thoughtful appearance.
“Ig, show me your ‘End’!”
Verafia’s raised pupils brightened. Hearing her suddenly excited voice, Ig, although he didn’t understand what the young lady wanted to do, obediently handed the sword to the girl.
The old grey long sword was placed in the girl’s delicate, jade-like, glowing white, tender small hand. She extended her fingertips and lightly touched End. Young Lady’s flawless face was reflected in the wiped bright and spotless blade of End.
A trace of affection flickered in Verafia’s eyes, but it was quickly concealed by a golden hue.
As for this sword that was once her personal sword, after a hundred years, it was already completely broken. Even though Verafia had consumed her origin to maintain it, it was only barely usable.
The girl’s tender fingertips caressed the edge of the sword.
“If I do this, will you still be Tegasol? And as for me…”
Verafia made a soft sound that only she could hear, her lustrous jade-like teeth lightly biting her lips.
“Young Lady?” Ig called out softly beside her.
“En, it’s this one.”
Verafia suddenly raised her head, her expression returning to normal, showing an excited look.
“I can see that you’ve taken good care of Lothel’s sword! Listen carefully, This young lady has noticed, and has a way to help you and this sword!”
“Young Lady, what are you saying?”
“You’ll know later. Ig, you wait a moment, let This young lady go meet this person first… En, you don’t have to, lest you drag us down.”
Ig hurriedly took back the sword that the girl casually threw. Although he didn’t understand what Verafia was thinking, seeing her expression, he finally didn’t say much and nodded obediently.
…
In a short while, Verafia found the location she had sensed earlier. She turned back and winked at the somewhat worried young man, pushing open the closed door of the blacksmith shop with her pure white small hand.
“Creak.”
Light rays pierced into the dim space with the sound of the door opening. Verafia looked around, the dim light of the oil lamp shining on the dilapidated walls. The young lady frowned slightly, feeling extremely uncomfortable with the oppressive atmosphere in the air.
Suddenly, the door slammed shut, and an extremely heavy will, like a deep, dark, vast night, crushed towards her!
“Is this a show of strength? Or are they saying that if I’m too weak, they don’t mind crushing me to death… En, that’s probably it. Anyway, letting me go is also equivalent to leaking information, so it’s better to just kill me silently and then run away.”
Verafia thought in her heart, but there was no fear on her face.
Just as she expected, the opponent did not use moves like spiritual power, dou qi, or domain, which are easy to leave traces. However, in terms of will, as Lothel from the past, she did not fear anyone!
The colors in the space suddenly swayed. In the darkness, burning golden blazes ignited fiercely. Adorned with scorching gold and crimson colors, a noble and gorgeous sun divine bird was born from the flames.
In the blooming sea of flames, the divine bird of flames lightly flapped its wings, dancing with graceful posture. The burning flames were imprinted between the gorgeous feathers in the dark colors. She lightly raised her long and elegant neck and let out a clear cry.
The cry of the flame bird broke the sealed silence of the will battlefield. The scorching gold and crimson colors spread in an instant, and the burning heat repelled the approaching deep darkness. Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded.
“Phoenix?”
“It’s This young lady!”
Verafia shouted towards the dark space with her aura undiminished, “And, you, is this how you treat guests!”
A hoarse cold snort passed through the air. Suddenly, the dark space lit up, and the dim view opened up. A middle-aged man who looked like a poor blacksmith appeared in Verafia’s eyes.
The man’s grayish-brown pupils stared fixedly at the young lady, the forging hammer in his hand moved slightly, but he did not make a move immediately.
Fernos did not believe that the young lady, who could remain unfazed under his Saint Rank’s imposing will and even made him feel a trace of fear with her counterattack, was only at Platinum Rank as she appeared.
Moreover, the beautiful golden-haired young lady in front of him, apart from the phoenix aura she displayed at the beginning, as an old Saint Rank, he couldn’t see through even the slightest bit.
“Who are you?”
After a long silence, Fernos suddenly spoke again in a hoarse voice, questioning the young lady.
“Hey, don’t you already know! This young lady is the cutest and most powerful flame phoenix in the world!”
Verafia was extremely dissatisfied with his attitude. She crossed her slender hands and glared with her pair of beautiful bright golden eyes, making a fierce gesture and shouting loudly.
“Flame Phoenix…”
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, his turbid eyes still fixed on the young lady’s tender and delicate body. Fernos naturally did not believe her words.
“Flame Phoenix, tell me, what are you doing here?”
“Hey, you clearly stole my things, and you’re still asking me what I’m here for!”
Verafia seemed to have no regard for his suddenly sharp gaze, puffing out her jade white and lustrous cheeks with great dissatisfaction.
However, she looked around and did not see the Blood Race Girl from before, so she tilted her head to think, and then smiled charmingly.
“However, it seems that vampire has been hidden by you somewhere. Even if I ask you, you definitely won’t hand her over… Forget it, This young lady is magnanimous, so I won’t bother with you. Consider it as coming to make a transaction with you.”
“Transaction?”
Fernos’s low, hoarse voice repeated, his rough fingers rubbing slightly on the forging hammer. His defensive power was already raised, ready to erupt at any time. He scrutinized the mysterious golden-haired young lady in front of him.
