Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 664

Chapter 664: Finally, Nothing Went Wrong
A golden blur shot skyward as Shye hurled Radiant Sentinel toward the unsuspecting Phoenix with immaculate precision.

It only took a moment, and the hulking shielder was already behind the mythical monster, capturing the despairing Wind Dragon’s attention.

This alerted the Phoenix that something was behind it.

Unfortunately for the mythical creature, it realized a moment too late, as a loud, irritating noise suddenly rang out from behind, causing its eyes to blaze red with rage.

It wanted nothing more than to rip the source of the noise to shreds and blast it to mere ashes.

“SUCCESS!!” Radiant Sentinel exclaimed with a triumphant smile as he fell to the ground, immediately activating one of his strongest defensive skills the next moment.

The Wind Dragon didn’t know what was happening.

However, it realized that the Phoenix’s attention seemed to have been seized by the humans, who suddenly came out of nowhere and interrupted their battle.

‘What a blessing!’ the draconic creature thought, immediately escaping with its bloody and battered body as fast as it could.

Unfortunately, it didn’t notice that before it could act, another sneaky human had managed to collect a sample of its blood from behind.

The Wind Dragon was too elated and focused on escaping from the Phoenix to care about anything else.

As it flew further away from the scorched mountain, it vowed never to confront the Phoenix again, even if it happened to encounter the mythical creature in the future and obtain a chance for revenge.

It was traumatized by the encounter.

If not for the sudden intervention of the humans, it would have met its end that day.

Meanwhile, the Phoenix had already reached the falling Radiant Sentinel before he could even make it halfway to the ground, causing every hair on the hulking Shielder’s body to stand on end in sheer terror.

“F*CK!! DRAGON FORT!! GOLDEN BULWARK!! TITANIUM’S EMBRACE!!”

Despite his racing heart, Radiant Sentinel was still able to make sound decisions, using his defensive skills appropriately to defend against the Phoenix’s consecutive attacks.

He didn’t make it to the ranks of titled adventurers for nothing.

As a result, he managed to make a stable landing, the Phoenix right in front of him.

“Tomb of Frozen Ruination!”

The icy voice of another human—a woman— echoed from behind the mythical creature, which was completely focused on the Shielder in front of it, leaving it indifferent to everything else.

This resulted in Frozen End managing to encase the Phoenix in an icy tomb, just like she promised.

“Great job, everyone!” Shye exclaimed as he suddenly descended from the skies like a meteor, the edges of his greatswords glowing an eerie scarlet.

‘NIGHTFALL REAPER!!’

As Shye moved closer to the Phoenix, he felt a significant rise in temperature, his skin beginning to scorch with each centimeter he approached.

However, he steeled himself to endure severe burns the moment they decided to attempt to slay the mythical monster, knowing that without this sacrifice, there was no way they would stand a chance against a creature that toyed with dragons.

Shye intended to make the most of its low vitality as best as he could.

His trusty [Nightfall Reaper] had never failed to take down a creature with a vitality attribute of less than seven hundred.

This time should be no different.

Just moments later, victorious smiles spread across the faces of the four titled adventurers as the severed head of the flaming bird disintegrated into wisps of fire, its body dropping onto the rocky ground with a thud, while Frozen End’s melted ice tomb gradually transformed into smoke.

Shye did it.

However, while they were all thrilled that Shye had managed to decapitate the Phoenix with a single attack, their excitement was tempered by the realization of what would come next: a fiery rebirth.

According to the information they gathered from the WAA, the Phoenix would now transform into a blazing egg of primordial flames.

They needed to destroy that egg before the mythical creature completed its resurrection cycle, or they would have to start all over again, this time without the element of surprise and one fewer trump card.

They were now in the crucial second phase of their hunting strategy.

The problem was, that they didn’t know what to expect.

Would they be able to destroy the egg easily? None of them knew, but they were prepared to endure the most severe burns to do so.

“Piercing Zephyr! Get ready to unleash your strongest and most flame-resistant attack!” Shye exclaimed, prompting the titled archer to retrieve a unique arrow—the only one of its kind in his arsenal—from his spatial bag to use as ammunition for his next strike.

It was a steel arrow covered in a thick layer of bluestone and a thin layer of processed Fire Dragon scale.

Piercing Zephyr had specifically prepared this arrow for this battle, knowing that otherwise, he would have been useless—a fate he certainly wanted to avoid.

He had one shot, and he planned to make it count.

Sure enough, in the next moment, the Phoenix’s corpse transformed into a vermilion-colored egg, radiating intense heat.

Piercing Zephyr’s eyes locked onto the target, and with steady precision, he drew the enormous bowstring back.

The fire-resistant arrow, designed for this very moment, was loaded and ready, his focus sharp as he prepared to strike before the creature could rise again.

*FWOOSH!*

The arrow hurtled fiercely toward the defenseless egg, propelled by a violent divine hurricane and a howling gale.

Moments later, it entered the intense heat zone of the Phoenix Egg, showing no signs of being incinerated.

Seeing that the arrow was holding up well, Shye and the other four breathed sighs of relief.

For the first time in Shye’s career, nothing had gone wrong during a major mission.

Now, they only had to wait for the arrow to embed itself deep into the fragile egg, destroying it with relative ease.

However, they didn’t anticipate that as the arrow approached within a thirty-foot radius of the egg, the heat would suddenly intensify, and the temperature would soar to unbelievable levels.

Even they, standing about one hundred fifty meters away from the Phoenix egg, could not endure the heat and were compelled to retreat further.

The intensity of the heat was staggering as if a small sun were positioned right in front of them.

Naturally, the arrow was suffering more than them, its dragon scale coating slowly disintegrating into ashes.

Luckily, there was still a thick bluestone coating.

At that moment, time seemed to slow to a crawl for Shye and his comrades, their eyes fixed on the arrow’s fate.

Twenty meters… fifteen meters… ten… five…

Finally, just a meter and a half from the Phoenix Egg, the bluestone coating was reduced to cinders. All that remained for Shye and the others to rely on was the steel arrow and the divine hurricane.

“PIERCE THROUGH THE FLAMES, DIVINE WIND!” Piercing Zephyr shouted, causing the divine hurricane to roar and shield the steel arrow until it reached the egg.

CRACK!

A loud cracking sound reverberated as the steel arrow penetrated the egg, disintegrating almost immediately afterward. However…

Despite being severely damaged, the egg…managed to survive.
