I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 46

Miss Verafia’s sudden voice startled Grisia. Looking at the playful expression on the young girl’s beautiful face, Grisia inexplicably had a bad feeling and hurriedly asked.
“Miss Verafia, you mean… isn’t the current battlefield in our favor?”
“That’s what I said, but these magical beasts are not just this much!”
The moment Verafia’s voice fell, suddenly, the entire night sky once again echoed with the howling cries of countless magical beasts. The five most powerful auras among them were all not beneath the two golden-ranked magical beasts that appeared first!
In the darkness, the reappearance of the ape and treant auras shocked everyone present except Verafia. Especially the additional five golden-ranked magical beasts exuding powerful auras, which made the adventurers’ hearts sink to the bottom.
Five golden-ranked monster lords, in terms of difficulty for adventurers to challenge, were even comparable to platinum-ranked monsters!
Looking at the newly arrived monsters, Verafia’s tender lips curled up slightly.
“How is this possible! In the territory ruled by the Dragon Crystal Flame Burst Tree, there is usually only one leader, and challengers of similar strength are expelled! How can there be three more treants here!”
A pale-faced adventurer swordsman cried out in despair.
Perhaps they could defeat the initial wave of monsters, but with the enemy’s combat power multiplied several times, and their high-end military strength completely crushing them, no one could be sure if they would live to see the next day’s sun!
Under the powerful pressure of the monsters and the howling cries that were several times sharper than before, Ig’s face also turned pale, but he still gripped his sword tightly.
“Young Lady, are all these monsters subordinates of that treant king, and the previous wave was just the vanguard?”
Ig turned his head to ask the girl beside him, who was supporting her little face with a slender hand and watching with interest. Ig was not foolish; combining the information he had previously, he immediately understood the reason.
“Of course!”
Verafia, however, paid no attention to the surrounding monsters’ roars or the intermittent gusts of bloody wind. The girl brushed aside a strand of her golden hair, turned her pretty face towards Ig, and smiled.
“Although I don’t know why the leader escaped injured, its deployment suffered little damage. However, the spiritual connection of these monsters is consistent, and I believe these guys are mostly subordinates of that platinum-ranked little treant.”
“As for now, I guess our intention to hunt them was detected by the treants, so they struck first… Hmm, does this count as us getting hunted?”
Although she said that, the girl’s tone showed no nervousness at all. Verafia even cutely tilted her little head, pretending to be deep in thought.
Ig, long accustomed to the young lady’s temperament, was not surprised at all.
Ig knew that the seemingly delicate girl in front of him was not only a powerful platinum-ranked expert but also a pure-blooded fire phoenix.
In his estimation, even all the monsters present combined would not be enough to be incinerated by the phoenix’s sun flame casually thrown by his young lady.
However, Ig couldn’t help but look up and say to the girl.
“Young Lady, will you help? The Cyclone Wing Adventuring Party definitely cannot defeat these monsters.”
“Hmph, Ig, you don’t need to worry, and I’ve already said it depends on me to save the day! I’m not someone who takes money and doesn’t do their job!”
As Verafia spoke, she waved her slender hand again, and under the dark night sky, vibrant and beautiful crimson flames flowed, instantly forming a staff-like long staff in the girl’s hand.
The girl leveled her staff, raising her splendid golden-flame-like beautiful pupils, and said proudly.
“But it’s just right, otherwise, how would it show that I turned the tide!”

Unlike Verafia, who was relaxed and even had the leisure to joke, the warriors of the Cyclone Wing Adventuring Party were in despair. They were attacked by the arriving monsters without even finding a chance to escape.
Amidst the resounding roars, countless terrifying attacks entered Ronald’s domain, and the wild power almost tore the domain condensed by white light apart.
And the adventurers, who had no chance to escape, faced the stampeding magical beasts, which were several times more numerous and powerful than before.
Even under Ronald’s steadfast talent protection, facing enemies several times their number, the battlefield situation instantly reversed!
And compared to ordinary adventurers, Ronald and Helia, who were surrounded by golden-ranked monsters as the peak combat power, were in an even more precarious situation.
Fierce Dou Qi fluctuations flickered in mid-air, and the cold light of shining metal seemed insignificant amidst the roars of the demonic beasts.
Ronald’s expression showed little panic. He held his sword in one hand, and holy Dou Qi surged out, condensing into a dazzling white and gold on the straight long sword.
The strong sword energy swung by the Paladin cut through strings of surging branches, and burning flames scattered like pieces. Relying on exquisite swordsmanship, he barely maintained an even footing under the combined attack of the monsters.
“Roar!”
Suddenly, with a startled roar, the tall ape struck the swordsman blocking its front with a heavy punch and appeared beside Ronald, who was no longer protected. The powerful Mountain Ape pounded its chest and roared furiously. its heavy blow carried a piercing sound of breaking wind!
With such power, even if Ronald was a golden-ranked Paladin, he would be severely wounded if he took it head-on!
“Lord Ronald!”
Grisia, who had just unleashed a powerful magic, cried out in fear, her rapid heartbeat almost reaching her throat. The half-elf girl, disregarding her own safety, forced herself to overdraw her energy and began chanting with her staff again.
“Winds, heed my call and gather before me! Gale Burst Bomb!”
The wind-elemental spell struck the enemy’s arm instantly, causing the ape to roar in pain. Seizing this opportunity, Ronald successfully sidestepped and blocked the furious punch of the vine-covered mountain ape with his sword.
Seeing Ronald out of danger, Grisia let out a long sigh of relief. The half-elf girl lightly turned her face with trembling eyelashes. Before her, a huge vine stained with blue-crystal flames crushed the whistling wind and whipped towards her.
However, after her full-power attack just now, she no longer had the strength to dodge.
“Fire, condense! Blazing Flame Wall!”
A clear, bell-like girlish voice sounded in the night sky filled with blood and roars. A blazing flame wall was instantly erected, blocking in front of Grisia.
The attack of the Flame Burst Blue Crystal Tree, waving its vines, struck the flame wall heavily, but not even a ripple was splashed. Instead, the flames burning on the wall directly ignited the monster’s vines.
“Well, just this much? It’s not exciting enough.”
Verafia, seeing that even her small spell couldn’t break through the monster, showed a look of disappointment on her little face.
