Uncontrollable exclamations arose.
Reflected in his eyes was that pure and holy radiance; the Cruising Bishop's pupils sharply constricted, and a speculation surfaced in his mind, bringing an unparalleled shock and excitement that made his entire body tremble.
Although he had always been vigilant, he had never caught sight of the Hero...
"—Sergeant, I will stay as well."
The Cruising Bishop's voice was deep and solemn.
The Sergeant quickly regained his composure, glanced at him with some surprise, and then nodded.
Although the Cruising Bishop had only just achieved his Third Ascension and was not the most elite personnel here, his profession had a unique advantage in combating darkness and evil.
"Alright, then let's set off immediately!"
The Sergeant calmed down again. He looked at the team, which had quickly formed up, just about to wave his hand to give the order, when a sharp and malicious cry of the phoenix completely scattered his voice.
The Corrupted Phoenix was enveloped in pitch-black flames, and although its form was hard to discern within those layered black flames, the crimson Phoenix Eyes within flickered with visible hatred and anger, causing ripples in the toxic clouds.
The black fiery flames violently expanded, as if enveloping the Corrupted Phoenix like a vast sun.
The Great Demon, like a meteor streaking across the sky, traced a deep abyss-like trajectory through the air, flying towards the White Snake and the Hero!

D279+54+d91=d279(232)+54+d91(14)=300
Standing atop the head of the White Snake, the Hero felt the surging Magic Power filling her body and slowly opened her eyes.
Emerald green and pinkish purple interwove in her pupils, flickering with a mysterious and enchanting glow.
The pitch-black fireball, like a falling sun, rapidly expanded in her pupils, but it couldn't make her gaze waver at all.
A gentle yet resolute female voice sounded by the Hero's ear.
"—It's time to make your move, junior."
Without hesitation, she spread her arms and took a step forward, stepping into the air.
The raging wind lifted her delicate body, casting her towards the pitch-black sun.

The girl plunged freely through the air, seemingly about to be engulfed by those pitch-black Demon Flames.
The White Snake closely followed her, carrying a tornado-like blizzard towards that destructive sun.
The onrushing hot wind carried the power to scorch the mind, but it was gradually dispersed by the blooming gold-blue light.
The finger claws were dyed in sunlight-like gold, the stigmata on her legs and the magic patterns on her abdomen resonated, causing the resplendent battle skirt to condense amidst the wind and snow, the gorgeous hem fluttering rapidly in the plummeting wind, leaving a trail adorned with starlight behind her.
Then, the Hero, angrily shouting, swung her fist.

[Corrupted Phoenix activates skill: Depraved Wind]
The gold-blue water light and the pitch-black fiery flames entangled together, forming a chaos that seemed capable of swallowing sunlight.
The glow emitted from the Hero's fist, like a long spear, pierced through that black sun, yet the Corrupted Phoenix's body, faintly visible among the black clouds and Demon Flames, turned into thousands of strands of wind and fire in the next instant, unaffected.

The Hero and the Corrupted Phoenix crossed paths, and the girl looked back at her unharmed enemy, her eyes widening in surprise.
In an instant,_the scattered flames of the Corrupted Phoenix gathered around her and the White Snake as a center, abruptly swelling into a pitch-black sun, engulfing the Hero in a sea of fire.
But the moment the flames swept over, the ornaments on the Hero's head fluttered out ethereal snowflakes, and the White Snake's massive body heavily coiled around the Hero, the rising solid ice, like a fortress, blocking the black flames outside.
Yet, specks of black flames still penetrated through, like hounds scenting blood pouncing towards the Hero, but they were blocked by the shimmering battle skirt.
The black flames stubbornly burrowed through the water light, landing on the Hero's pristine skin, and although they immediately fizzled out, they still brought a bone-piercing sting, causing her to cry out in pain.
[Corrupted Phoenix dealt 37 damage to the Hero]

[Due to the protection of Innocent, the Hero's armor remains uneroded]
The Corrupted Phoenix issued a piercing scream that could boil one's brain, ready to increase its firepower to completely suppress the Hero, when a blade light that seemed to come from the Netherworld slashed through the sky, forcing it back.
