Chapter 8 The Phoenix Tongue



Sato whooshed past the leaves and trees as he began heading toward the red point on the map.

The elves were following behind him but his speed was unmatched, they couldn\'t catch up to him.

\'I really ought to come up with a name for you!\' Sato uttered while charging toward the location of the shrine.

<<Notice... Name has already been given?>>

Sato not paying attention, began racking his head for a name he could call the system as he ran past tress.

"How about.... oh I know, Helix!".

Sato muttered before ceasing his advance, \'That\'s what I\'ll call you... Helix, pretty cool aye!\' He smiled, admiring his greatness.

<<Name confirmed…. Helix>>

"Great, now what am I looking at?" Sato asked.

He was standing in front of a small altar that was in the middle of two large boulder, it had strings of paper tied around it, each having magic energy dancing over it.

"Looks like a Shrine." Sato uttered while slowly moving closer to the Shrine.

<<Notice, this is the confinement of the Phoenix, the seal appears to be getting weaker by the minute, running away for a fight pattern is advised>>

Sato suddenly heard Orland and some elves racing behind him with their weapons with them.

"What the hell do you think you\'re doing?" Orland yelled, panting as he pointed his dagger at Shiro.

"This is the deity protecting your village, isn\'t it?" Sato asked before turning to look at Orland.

"Yeah, what\'s it to you?" Orland grinned as he slowly moved toward Shiro.

Sato changed his focus back to the shrine, \'Helix! Is it possible to communicate with the Phoenix while it\'s still trapped in the rock?\' He asked.

<<Negative, the seal on the shrine cancels all means of magic, communicating with it is impossible vai a magical means>>

\'I see…\'

Sato sighed, he turned his back on the shrine and walked away with disbelief, "Can\'t believe I wasted all that time, I should I\'ve confirmed first." He muttered.

Orland was standing in Sato\'s path with his dagger still aimed out, he laughed before frowning his face.

"What? Finally realize there\'s no way to calm our ruler? Well no that it matters, I wasn\'t going to let you leave anyway." Orland uttered.

All the elves standing behind him, aimed their arrows at Sato, "You might be strong, but even you can dodge an attack coming from all directions." Said Orland .

Sato didn\'t say a single word, his eyes were fixated on the floor, it was bad enough that he found himself in a new world but now he has to be a sacrifice to some village\'s god.

"Screw this!" Sato yelled, he changed his focus back to the shrine and charged toward it leaving the elves speechless.

Upon getting to the shrine, Sato leaped to the sky before deploying his scythe, "Might as well see what the fuck you\'re afraid of!".

He went falling to the ground with his scythe covered in dark energy as it sliced the shrine in two, causing the two boulder to fall on themselves.

Sato stood up and turned to look at the shocked expression that were plastered on the elves faces, almost like they had just seen a ghost.

One of the elves suddenly yelled as he panicked, "We\'re done for! He…he broke the seal!".

Orland fell to his knees with his eyes fixated on the destroyed shrine, "No… way…" He muttered.

Sato sighed, "Relax you, weirdos, there\'s nothing-".

Before Sato could finish his statement, there was a sudden sound that resonated throughout the forest, it sounded like multiple bells were clinking against each other.

The loud sound of the bell began to affect the ears of those that could hear it, causing their ears to bleed and for their head to swell from the delusion.

Everyone within range of the shrine bell sound fell to the ground as they desperately tried to block the sounds by covering their ears.

Sato screamed, while using his hand to cover his ear from the noise, his body was still badly burnt from the previous fire and the sound was making the pain surface back.

<<Notice, The skill Sound manipulation... obtained>>

The sound suddenly reduced inside Sato\'s head leaving only the screams of the elves for him to hear.

He stood up from the ground, panting heavily before using his hand to clean the blood in his ear.

"Thanks Helix." He uttered. Upon getting to his feet a loud screech of a bird was heard which came with a full force of fire that blew Sato away.

He went flying and crashing into one of the trees with his back before landing on the ground.

He groaned in pain shortly after he stood up from the ground before dusting his body from the painless fall.

"What the hell is that?" Sato questioned, positioned a few feets away from him was a giant bird that was flaming all over its body.

The hellish bell sound stopped after the Phoenix gave out another scream, which made the irritation all the elves were feeling stop.

They began to stand up from the ground as they mummered about what they all thought happened.

One of the elves spotted the Phoenix and fear instantly took over, "Oh Lord Rava save us, it\'s the god bird!" The elf yelled, alerting everyone about the Phoenix.

As soon as the rest of the elves saw the bird they all took to their heels and ran, while some just stood there fear struck from the sight.

Isla ran into the scene and even she was frightened by the sight of the gigantic Phoenix.

She moved back slowly watching as the Phoenix landed on the ground with a blaze of fire following it around.

"It\'s… it\'s a real Phoenix." She stuttered, looking to her right she saw Sato standing opposite the bird with his damaged body.

"What the hell is he thinking?" She tried to run to his side but the heat the Phoenix was giving out was too much.

Sato kept a close eye on the Phoenix, making sure he didn\'t make any sudden moves to make the Phoenix attack him.

\'Helix! I should be able to communicate with it now right?\' Shiro asked.

<<Affirmative>>

Sato took a deep breath while he thought of what to say, "Yo Birdy!" Sato yelled.

The bird moved its head closer to Sato before giving out another loud shriek.

°°° "You speak the language of a rare species! What are you?" °°°

Sato was shocked when he figured out that he understood what the bird was saying, he didn\'t even know that a smile made its way to his lips.

"It\'s working." Sato muttered, "Okay… the people of the village are worried about…"

The Phoenix suddenly interrupted, "The people of this village have defied me yet again, I have lost my patience… I\'m not a mare bird… I am Divanchi.. the supreme ruler of the east, and I will burn everything to the ground, starting from the one who woke me from my slumber!" The Phoenix yelled.

It whooshed to the sky leaving aches of its flames burning on the ground and trees.

"This isn\'t good… wasn\'t I the one they woke up from...?"

Looking up, Sato could see the Phoenix charging toward him from the sky down.

Its wings spread wide with its flames and its body was shooting down like a falling rocket.

After realizing the Phoenix was after him, Sato took to his feet and began running, "Shit, shit, I have no choice but to fight back… damn it!... pretty exciting." He smiled.
