Chapter 953
The baby phoenix was trapped inside a brazier located at the center of the Altar of Resurrection. A barrier made up of some kind of spiritual energy surrounded the brazier, making it impossible for the fledgling to escape.
“Coo... Coo...”
The baby phoenix let out pitiful chirps while lying weakly inside. Patches of its feathers were missing, which was clear evidence that it suffered extreme abuse at the hands of the angels.
“I’ll get you out of here,” Siegfried said, raising his +16 Vanquisher’s Grasp, ready to smash the brazier apart.
Just then...
‘Wait a second... wouldn’t this be a waste?’ Siegfried hesitated when a sudden idea crept into his mind. The angels had exploited the baby phoenix’s ability to achieve their infinite resurrection strategy, and it was truly a broken ability.
What if he took that ability for himself instead?
‘I won’t lose anyone!’
It wouldn't be just himself; even his NPC comrades, who would be gone forever once dead, could be resurrected. Even if someone as precious as Brunhilde or Verdandi were to die, he could resurrect them as long as he had the baby phoenix.
‘Maybe... I should keep it for myself?’
It was indeed a tempting dilemma.
Once he had obtained the power to resurrect his allies en masse, even the mighty Marchioni Empire wouldn't be a threat anymore.
