Reincarnated Soul

Chapter 9 - Memories: The monsters and the phoenix

After hiring Lucifer as my combat partner, of which I did not tell anyone, but I let him do what he wanted on the island as if it were one more NPC, since without his wings he looked like a normal NPC, so I didn't care at first, but after a while I realized that Lucifer had a rather big obsession with cleanliness, architecture, construction, nature, manners, and reading, since he looked at me badly when I entered the house that I build on the island with muddy shoes, to which I force myself to learn the basic manners according to him, which was the most tedious thing I could do, but I must admit that I became addicted to drinking coffee in a "noble" way , since it looked great what combined with the look and aura of my avatar, which led me to try to learn the "noble" way of drinking coffee

The months passed and thus the guild was issued quickly, since we had several missions to take, but most of the high-risk missions I took with my "team" which were basically my doppelgangers with the ability of the mask to change, which made the team of 8 normal humans quickly become famous, since although 40% of all players had had the human race as chosen at the beginning of the game, they left it, the human race was the most balanced, but it does not mean that they are among the strongest, and on the contrary, they were quite "weak" if only their base statistics and racial skills were taken into account, but if evolutionary potential is taken into account, that is another story, but all this ended with the team of Azell, Hades, Loki, Prometheus, Merlin, Gilgamesh, Enkidu and Orpheus, since all according to what had been seen were of the human race, but make no mistake and think that Enkidu is a woman or chains, do not, since according to the myth he was the only one who could fight alongside Gilgamesh and even defeat him, each one finished a different class in everyone's eyes, from necromancer, to bard

But what caused commotion was its appearance, since although its aspects were not as good as those of the Azell avatar if they were quite good considering that Azell spent a good 5 hours modeling each of them, and the designs of each of the characters attracted too much attention from the players, since it was also known that Azell was the so-called "Flashed Prince", a nickname that until that date could not be removed

But just after 7 months of killing [Draco], came a mission, somewhat special, since apparently a guy who had joined the guild for not more than 3 months, and before joining public a mission to the guild to go exploring with him, but apparently it had not been approved, so I was curious, which resulted in a ranger called "Sion" wanting us to accompany him on a mission to explore some ruins near a volcano in world 6, which I didn't think was bad, since as a guild leader, it was a good idea to inspire some confidence in the new members

But the truth at that time I was also planning to go out to explore, since I had been gathering all kinds of materials in both the small development and buying and exchanging with the players to build my floating kingdom, since I was quite mistreated since the battle with dragons, but I just didn't want to do things the easy way, like buying cheap materials to build it, since it would affect the impression that caused people a lot, since I was one of the strongest people in the game, so because not showing off even more, I mean, even if they tried to invade the floating island, it would be impossible, since there are only a little more than 70 members in the guild of which only 20 have access to climb the island, not to mention that Lucifer takes care of her and is very territorial with regard to visitors

At the beginning, when I went on the trip, I and my 7 doppelgangers talked a lot of time with Sion, but I also felt strange about him, as if he were a snake waiting for something, but I didn't know what he expected, so I didn't I really loved him, but apparently I noticed that he was trying to distance me from him and even tried to convince my doppelgangers to become friends, to buy and sell materials and at some point I also tried to convince them to work with him, but since the doppelgangers are basically me, they also understood my reasons, but even so, in order not to suspect it, they spoke friendly with him, but as for their proposals, they could only give him a slight smile, which apparently took as an affirmation what he was very happy, but I could only frown under my mask

When we reached the base of the volcano, it turned out that there seemed to be a rather small town before and from what I could see, the volcano was activated not long ago maybe a day or two ago, since I could still see traces of farms like this like some fruit trees that were still loaded with fruit and some half-harvested along with some traces of blood, but then, why Sion didn't seem impressed by what we were seeing? It seemed as if he had already expected this, but he didn't understand it , since according to what I had investigated while leaving me "out" of the conversation, it was a town that was not very popular except that it provided some very good fruits, but most of the players didn't care about that, because what the town was quickly forgotten, since it was nothing special, but let's put that aside, suppose you forgot to mention it, but if so, I don't understand what kind of ruins it found to be worth trip

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't find an explanation so I pushed the thought to the depths of my head while I was waiting for what we could find next since many of the best places were not mentioned in the forums and the internet, but Even so, I didn't let my guard down, since although Zion could not cause me any harm, she could still give me some other problems, such as taking the treasure and escaping, since it did not give me confidence, without counting on the person or monster that could have attacked the town, but still I doubt that the person or monster could kill me, but the one that could cause me problems was Zion, but I doubt that I could escape, since both my doppelgangers and I have quite high statistics and we could prevent him from escaping easily, but still I didn't want to rule out the possibilities, so I made Prometheus approach Sion and try to become his "friend", but still so I don't reveal any information, so to have evidence and not stain my reputation I decided to record my entire trip with Sion

After walking and approaching the volcano, we saw something we did not expect and that was the body of two giant phoenix one that was only in bones while the other was still half alive but was being eaten alive by a creature of about 3 meters that seemed having rotten muscles, with bones fighting to get out of his body and a face with sharp teeth, almost flat face of fierce appearance as if it were the face of a wolf, with fresh blood still on his teeth, that thing was a damn change skins, and not of a low level, since it exudes an aura that was only a little less dangerous than [Draco] so he didn't want to trust me, and he wanted to see what was really happening and attack him while he was distracted, to stun him, and thus kill him with some ease

But those were just plans, since he did not expect Sion at this time to dare to shout at the change of skins and throw a few arrows which caused him to direct all his attention to us, leaving the phoenix half dead to attack us, he wanted to claim even kill him on the spot, since I didn't expect this guy to dare to do this, but to me I regret he had moved quite quickly towards what the phoenix's nest looked like, trying to steal one of the several phoenix eggs that had in his nest, but the phoenix that was still half alive saw him and with the little strength he had left interrupted him with one of his wings, trying not to let him enter the nest, to which Sion took out a curved dagger and began to mercilessly attack the phoenix wing, and he changes skins completely ignore him, since in his eyes he was nothing more than a fly

While I and my clones began to fight against the change of name skins [Khril], which was torture on its own, but because I had also strengthened myself and was not as weak as when I killed [Draco] the task was a little easier and I could even defeat [Khril] without using the [ALL FOR ONE] skill in 25 minutes, which only gave me a piece of divine equipment and a title, but thanks to my high statistics I left almost unharmed, but the same could not be said as the phoenix, since he was half dying while Sion attacked him mercilessly to steal one of the eggs that were in his nest, so it really bothered me and I immediately appeared behind him along with my 7 doppelgangers by my side, while he kept attacking the phoenix

When he realized that there were no battle sounds, he slowly turned around just to see Azell along with his 7 members of his team, to which he only gave a big smile trying to convince Azell to kill Phoenix together to share his treasures, but I did not feel comfortable, I felt bad for the phoenix because even in the last moments of his life he still protected his children, so he rejected him without much thought, to which he went crazy and offered many things to my doppelgangers to follow him and kill the phoenix and me, but only to play with my doppelgangers they approached and stood by his side, to which he began to give his speech that I was an idiot for not accepting an opportunity of gold, but only to be killed by a joint attack by my doppelgangers, which shocked the phoenix

I mean I really liked this phoenix, since even with his dead companion, a dagger mutilating one of its wings, a part of his body eaten by a beast and being almost half dead continued to protect his nest because inside were the eggs they would give light to their young, so it did not seem right that a mother (father? I do not know their gender) died being mutilated by two beasts, although technically it is "impossible" to resurrect the partners can not say the same of the NPC, but too much power was needed to do it, which was difficult for me without using [ALL FOR ONE], to restore their bodies and return to life to the other phoenix but just at the moment when he opened his eyes he attacked me immediately to see that he was very close to his nest, but to be honest I do not mind that he attacked me, since although it hurt, I think I understand them I spent with them a couple of hours and I warned them my way (with signs, many hours doing signs and drawings pa ra that they understood me) that it was no longer safe to stay on this volcano to what ... they discussed? I think, but when I wanted to leave, they gave me something that I did not expect, and that was nothing but the egg of a phoenix that I thanked them very much, but I realized that they did not want to separate from the egg, so I tried return it several times just to be threatened? To take it with me

It really hurt me enough to see them act that way, but I still understood them, since apparently they gave me the weakest egg, that when I grew up I might not have many opportunities to survive, but I could still see their pain as they separated from one of their children, but after leaving and returning to the base I spent wondering, why did I do it ?, since according to the situation there was no need to do it, since I could have killed them and keep me with everything, maybe it was for no way think, and the way my parents educated me until they died long ago.
