Chapter 2576: Vermillion Bird Against Three-Legged Crow I

Adrian saw the upcoming army that is going towards Vermillion City. He thought that the soldiers of the city will be able to do something about the army, but the Vermillion Bird of the South talked to him in his mind. The Vermillion Bird of the South is still fighting with the Three-Legged Crow, but it was paying attention to the territory.

”Please protect my citizens, my friend. I can deal with the Three-Legged Crow, but I cannot deal with the army coming towards us as well. Should I fall, please save all of them.” The Vermillion Bird of the South stated.

”Just make sure to deal with that shiny bird.” Adrian stated as he did not want to acknowledge the last sentence that the Vermillion Bird of the South said. He then proceeded to summon Sirius, Charon, and Kimat and disappeared from their location.

The Vermillion Bird of the South and the Three-Legged Crow looked at each other and released powerful waves of heat. The flames of the Vermillion Bird of the South are more powerful than the Three-Legged Crow because the former needs to destroy the flames that the latter creates. The Vermillion Bird of the South is more focused on protecting the territory compared to attacking the Three-Legged Crow.

The fight of the two gigantic divine bird beasts is a spectacle, but the citizens of Vermillion City proceeded to the evacuation zone. The shrine maidens came out of the pagoda and made sure to lead the citizens to safety. They even took to arms as there were some people that have started attacking people. The powerful shrine maiden force of the pagoda destroyed any intruder that wanted to harm the citizens.

”Why are you doing this!?” The Vermillion Bird of the South asked the Three-Legged Crow.

”If I devour your essence, I shall be reborn to be the greatest Sun. You are merely a nutritious supplement for my divine self!” The Three-Legged Crow exclaimed.

The Vermillion Bird of the South did not like that the Three-Legged Crow was being unreasonable. The Vermillion Bird of the South knows that it cannot be devoured as all of its divine body will just burn away into ash. The Three-Legged Crow did not listen to the explanations of the Vermillion Bird of the South and still attacked.

Both of them released flaming arrows towards each other with the flap of their wings. Each of the flaming arrows collided together and created a powerful smokescreen that made it difficult to see what is happening in the skies. The smoke suddenly took a swift turn as the Three-Legged Crow used it as a way to charge towards the Vermillion Bird of the South. The sharp talons of the Three-Legged Crow managed to grip onto the Vermillion Bird of the South.

The Three-Legged Crow started to fight against the Vermillion Bird of the South with its beak. Since they cannot harm each other with elemental attacks since they are mostly of the same element, the Three-Legged Crow decided to it the hard way. The Three-Legged Crow poured mana into its beak and proceeded to peck the body of the Vermillion Bird of the South.

When the Three-Legged Crow pecked the body of the Vermillion Bird of the South, flames erupted from the feathers that were damaged. The Three-Legged Crow did not care about the flames as it did little damage to it. The Vermillion Bird of the South felt the damage to its body, and it seems that the Three-Legged Crow can also negate is flaming body.

The body of the Vermillion Bird of the South is almost made of flames which meant that physical attacks should not have any damage to it, but the Three-Legged Crow made it work. The beak of the Three-Legged Crow can be graded as a divine tier weapon as it can actually destroy the elements if it focuses. This is what the Three-Legged Crow will use against the Vermillion Bird of the South that is mostly made of flames, and it is super effective.

”If you wish to fight like this then do not blame me!” The Vermillion Bird of the South shouted as it also prepared its beak and covered it with intense mana.

The pecking fight of the two divine bird beasts has started, and they even maintained low altitude. The fight actually created strong gales that flattened the weak trees as the two of them were only about fifty meters above the ground. The fight of the two divine bird beasts is wreaking havoc on the city itself, but the Vermillion Bird of the South cannot do anything about it. The best that the Vermillion Bird of the South can do is creating a thin barrier around the city to protect the citizens.

”You are focusing on useless things.” The Three-Legged Crow shouted as it called the Vermillion Bird of the South’s efforts of protection as unnecessary.

”I am born from the people, and I shall serve them even in my dying breath.” The Vermillion Bird of the South shouted as its body blazed in golden flames.

The Vermillion Bird of the South’s body suddenly changed not only in color but also in appearance. The Vermillion Bird of the South entered its Pure Divine Flame mode which turns its body into golden flames. It also increases its wings from two to six which made it menacing when unfurled completely. Another thing that is added is the mandala crimson beads that appeared around the Vermillion Bird of the South as if to signify that it has become truly godlike.

”Now you are serious!” The Three-Legged Crow stated as it cannot grip the body of the Vermillion Bird of the South easily when it turned into golden flames.

The golden flames of the Vermillion Bird of the South are basically its peak power where it burns its divine energy to the maximum. Just touching it can expel evil, and it is also incredibly powerful to beings that have evil energy in them. The Vermillion Bird of the South is actually shocked that its golden flames hurt the Three-Legged Crow because they are not classified as evil.

Three-Legged Crows are considered as divine beasts of the sun and are helpful. The fact that the Three-Legged Crow before him is hurt by its divine flames meant that it is considered as evil. The body of the Three-Legged Crow basically rejected the effects of the golden flames of the Vermillion Bird of the South.

”A divine beast that has fallen to depravity! You should be killed!” The Vermillion Bird of the South shouted as it used one of its powerful attacks.

The Vermillion Bird of the South activated the mandala crimson beads and created a powerful golden fire storm that hurled itself towards the Three-Legged Crow. The Three-Legged Crow wanted to dodge but the Vermillion Bird of the South is smart enough to do another spell that created a flaming cage around the former. The Three-Legged Crow could not escape from the golden flame cage and decided to unleash its power as well.

The Vermillion Bird of the South thought that its attack will greatly injure the Three-Legged Crow as the latter was fully enveloped in the golden firestorm. What the Vermillion Bird of the South did not expect is that its golden flames will meet its match as an explosion of black flames happened in the area where the Three-Legged Crow is. When the flames died down, the figure of the Three-Legged Crow could finally be seen, and it also changed.

The Three-Legged Crow could be seen bathe in black flames with its beak lined with teeth. It also gained two more red eyes that made it look terrifying. The most prominent change is the fact that is mandala looked corrupted and evil as it is now a black sun silhouette instead of a yellow one. The Three-Legged Crow finally showed it true nature, and it was indeed evil.

”You! How many taboos did you do!? Divine beasts should hold themselves into a standard. The fact that your mandala is corrupted meant that you fed on the souls of humans, monsters, and divine!” The Vermillion Bird of the South shouted in shock.

”There is only power in this world and only those that are powerful can truly become gods! Using whatever is needed to attain that goal is but a small sacrifice that I am willing to make.” The Three-Legged Crow stated.

”You will never attain true enlightenment with that mindset because it corrodes your soul! Gods with corroded soul go insane and can never control what they do. This self shall rid you of this world for you have tainted it with your corrupted soul.” The Vermillion Bird of the South shouted as it released its golden feathers towards the Three-Legged Crow.

”It is you that shall be devoured by myself and become nourishment to the new king of divine beasts!” The Three-Legged Crow shouted as it created a large sphere made of black flames that expanded as the golden feathers hit it.
