Chapter 150: A Flaming Battle (Part 2)
Our battle with the phoenix kept going, and after he had bombarded the entirety of the crater with his flaming projectiles, Vespera appeared once again in the air to knock him back down.
His flames covered his body as soon as he reached the ground, transforming back to his human form as the fire surrounded the area around him.
Nevertheless, I launched myself at him while using water magic to cover my body, which wasn’t enough to fully protect me from his firewall. Still, I managed to reach him with my fist charged with water and lightning magic and struck him in the gut.
The phoenix was pushed back and coughed a little blood as he grasped his stomach.
My companions and I were full of burnt marks, but we didn’t have time to pull out healing potions since the phoenix wasn’t allowing us with his flaming attacks.
Suddenly, the phoenix’s golden eyes started shining, and the ground shook as fire torrents began to shoot out from the floor.
In the blink of an eye, the phoenix had appeared right in front of me with a kick imbued with strong fire magic that hit me in the face and sent me flying back into a small mound of starstone.
Vespera and Yoru tried to counter at that moment, but the phoenix used his fire to push them back as he got closer to the area where I landed.
I could feel blood dripping from my head as I pushed the rocks and debris off of me, but before I could get out of the rubble, the phoenix grabbed me by the poncho and raised my body.
"How...?" he vaguely asked while still holding me by the collar.
"How do you expect to beat Zagor like this!?" he asked with desperation in his voice.
