"Lord Flam, all the ritual materials are ready. You can start the ritual at any time if you want."
In the golden palace, in front of the furnace made of magma, a human being covered in gray robes respectfully reported to the giant turned into flames.
"Excellent." The Fire Giant replied with satisfaction, "Judge Grall, ask my servants to bring up the sacrifices for the ceremony. I can't wait, and the ceremony must be carried out now!"
"Okay, my master." The human in front of him replied quickly, without any hesitation in his words.
Soon, at the judge's signal, a group of little monsters with dark red skin and hopping jumps were brought over.
The ones responsible for escorting these little monsters were the fire elves who showed reverence on their faces. With the existence of high-level demons like the Fire Elves, even if these little monsters feel uneasy, they can't think of any resistance.
"Put them into the furnace." The flame giant ordered loudly.
After hearing her words, the nearby fire elves perked up, with a fanatical look in their eyes, like believers who had been inspired by the gods. They took action one after another, using their own power to drive the nearby little monsters into the furnace. .
After realizing the meaning of the flame giant's words and what was about to happen, panic arose from the formation of the little monsters. They tried to escape in all directions, but they were unable to escape the control of the fire elf.
Seeing that all the nearby companions were burned to ashes, the remaining little monsters seemed to accept their fate and no longer offered any resistance. For demons whose blood is everything, becoming a sacrifice in a high-level demon ritual is also the irresistible fate of the little monsters.
As these little monsters were swallowed up by the magma, the fire in the furnace became more and more intense, and the broken souls rose into the sky. There was also a look of longing in the eyes of the flame giant.
"It's time." Seeing that the magma in the entire furnace was boiling, and bubbles were constantly coming out from below. For a moment, the entire lava lake seemed to come alive, and the flame giant also made his decision.
The blazing fire existing outside her body became thinner, and her body turned transparent, revealing something golden and fiery that existed inside her body.
It was an imprisoned phoenix. She was supposed to be the incarnation of fire, but her body was being swallowed up by the flames bit by bit. Following the movements of the flame giant, Phoenix kept swinging his body, trying to escape from the predicament in front of him, but it seemed to be in vain.
"Now, do you still want to escape? It's useless. You will merge with me, and I can use your body to obtain a real body."
Relying on the connection in the flame, Phoenix's body had a certain connection with the flame giant. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape the control of the flame giant and could only watch her body gradually melt away.
The Phoenix's ability to be reborn from the ashes cannot be used at this moment. What the Flame Giant has to do is to fully integrate the Phoenix into his body to achieve a complete transformation.
Seeing that Phoenix still showed no sign of giving up, the flame giant sneered. Under her guidance, the burned souls of the little monsters approached her body and quickly integrated into it.
With the addition of these souls, Phoenix's struggle gradually stopped, his eyes became cloudy, and he could no longer muster any strength.
As the process progressed, the nearby fire elves seemed to feel something. They lowered their heads and looked respectfully at the giant transformed from the flames, muttering something in their mouths.
New burning materials were added to the huge furnace. This time, the material added to the furnace was the flame giant itself.
She would not have been harmed by any flames at first, but at this moment, she was affected by something unknown. Under the burning of the flames, her whole body began to shrink inward, and the body of the phoenix existing in her body also began to melt, and merged with the pure The flames become one.
"Ha ha."
The shrinking flame giant let out a burst of wild laughter. The laughter was intermittent, but there was a strange sense of fulfillment in it, and all nearby creatures were shocked.
The ultimate flame surged from the deepest part of the lava lake, and the blazing light occupied the entire space. At this moment, even the golden palace itself began to show signs of melting.
As a wisp of flame deep in the magma merged into the body of the flame giant, some special changes continued to occur in her body.
The illusory body that was originally transformed into firelight had a physical existence at this moment. The flowing light turned into her skin, and the flames formed her flesh and blood. As her body size continued to shrink, what appeared in the center of the furnace was no longer the flame giant overlooking everything, but a human woman with red hair and red eyes.
"Lord Flem, your humble servant, I send you my sincere blessings. You have finally achieved your long-held wish and have a body of your own..." Noticed the red-haired woman in the furnace, Judge Grall Said with a trembling voice.
At this time, the red-haired woman was raising her hands, feeling the body that belonged to her little by little: "I haven't been this happy for a long time. The last time that made me so happy was when the holy city Standwick fell from the sky. No. I thought after so long, I finally achieved my wish.”
"Thanks to that necromancer, I was able to bring back the noble divine bird Phoenix for you... It's really strange. I and other judges also went to the Land of Fire to search, but we found no trace of the phoenix. That necromancer How did you do it?" Graal said with some confusion.
"Hmph." After hearing Graal mention this matter, Flem, who had just transformed into a human form, his face suddenly darkened, "I hate necromancers the most. My servant, go and release the 'Avengers' to the surface world, so that He went to deal with the necromancer."
"This..." After listening to Flem's words, Grall showed obvious hesitation and confirmed again and again: "Isn't this a bit bad? You agreed to the request of the necromancer."
"I just promised him that no doomsday believers would attack his territory, but the 'Avengers' are not within the scope of doomsday believers." Fromm said in a deep voice, "Also, who gave you the courage? , so that you dare to resist my order?"
"I know I was wrong, Lord Flam... Please allow me to complete the task you assigned." Graal said quickly. He knew very well what would happen to the creatures who disobeyed Flam's orders.
"For the sake of this body, I forgive your offense this time and go and complete your mission. Remember to return the weapons that belong to him to the 'Avengers'." Fromm said slowly.
