"Hyeong, don't tell me actually you wish to eat me!"
Hyunki laughed as Minjoon poke his sword lightly to his arm.
"Noooo help me!"
Myungwoo is laughing too. At least, he isn't alone. At least, his friends are okay. At least... he still can protect them and make sure everything will be finished fast.Â
Sungmi is avoiding the attack that almost killed her. She is alone for now so she should make sure she is staying safe until the next shift's people come. She thought she would be okay, but fighting a phoenix alone isn't as easy as she thought. In front of her, a giant reddish bird is flying in the middle of the hall. What makes it look reddish is actually fire on its entire body, so if you don't know this is a mythical creature named phoenix, you will think it's a giant bird that got burnt. Sungmi is standing up again while holding her morning star tightly in her hand. Sungmi isn't a princess for nothing, she alone ever wins a fight against dragon and phoenix just by herself. But there is something about her and the situation that isn't the same anymore. How many times had I killed it, thought Sungmi, usually the most time it can resurrect is 9 times... I think I have killed it at least 4 times already. At the time like this, Sungmi is feeling grateful she is fighting this phoenix alone since it isn't an easy opponent even for level 10 guardians or warriors. She needs to quickly eliminate the phoenix.
"More attacks with iron will help," said Sungmi, "come here you big bird."
Sungmi is jumping higher towards the phoenix who attacks forward bravely too. Sungmi managed to land her spiky morning star to its crest before she quickly rolled away. One touch from the phoenix is enough to make her lose 30% of her current health. In front of her eyes, her energy is still 270/300 and her health is still in 300/300. One more time, thought Sungmi. Sungmi is jumping one more time, she knows the phoenix will attack after her too, she dodge to avoid its beak before attacking its neck. The phoenix is screaming loudly before instantly turning into a pile of ash.
"A little bit more," thought Sungmi.
But her focus quickly lost as she saw her energy level lost to 240. Can I keep this energy until the phoenix dies? And what will await me after this hall? Have we found any way out? Sungmi is shaking her head in worry as her energy is replenished so slowly as she is getting ready to fight the resurrected phoenix. Usually my energy will replenish 1 point every minute but why doesn't it replenish even 1 point after 5 minutes? And the fact that my energy is lost a lot even though I don't use any ability... As she is busily thinking, the ash gathers by itself and quickly forms the same phoenix who Sungmi is against. It looks so healthy again as it is just resurrected.Â
"I hate this but I have no choice but to fight until the end of my energy," said Sungmi.
"Do you really don't know what makes your energy replenish slowly, Princess?"
