Chapter 9 The Beast Named Divanchi

Sato utilized one of the trees as a walking stone before leaping to the sky with his hand held out while he flipped over the Phoenix.

"DEVOUR!"

He screamed out, a dark-like thick mist poured right out of his hand and went sucking in the Phoenix Mana.

After flipping over to the other side of the Phoenix, Sato went landing on his legs while huffing from the rush of excitement, 'This should be enough to copy its powers right?' He inquired of.

<<Negative… opponent is a rank SS+ monster, a lot more mana is needed for a successful copy>>

'Damn it…'

Sato went to his knees and was getting ready to throw himself toward the Phoenix again, "Well, second times the charm." He muttered before grinning.

With a whoosh of breeze, Sato unexpectedly found the Phoenix stationed in front of him, the Phoenix was so immediate that the trees in the area went flying from their roots after the sonic boom.

"Holy".

The Phoenix then gave Sato a slap to the side with its wings which sent Sato tumbling onto the ground, and before he could retain balance the bird was already beside him.

It spat out a huge fireball that crushed the ground and Sato together in one hit. Wild demolition was caused and the ground went splitting in two.

Sato managed to evade the blast but just scarcely, the fire still caught up to him, hence the reason why he was spreaded on the floor.

<Mana restoration>

Sato darted to the sky as he started feeling tiny senses of ache in his body, 'That should have killed me, that was no ordinary attack, it still hurts even with my pain resistance'.

Sato unhurriedly stood up from the ground, snorting with every movement he made before he was able to stand on both his feet.

He struggled to keep his balance while his eyes were fixed on the Phoenix, it was giving out loud screams while fire encircled its whole body.

"What is this guy thinking? Fighting with a deity is nothing but suicide." Isla spoke as she took a round turn around the trees to try and ambush the Phoenix from behind.

The rest of the elves were still face-shocked from the way they oversaw Sato battle a Divine beast, something a mere human couldn't hope to do.

The Phoenix scattered its wings before charging at full speed toward Sato again, but even with that Sato didn't advance from his spot.

Isla and the elves were wondering why he just stood there, they assumed he had a move he hadn't shown yet but after catching a glimpse of how powerful the Phoenix was charging at him they began to second their belief because no one could survive an attack like that head-on.

Before the Phoenix could get close to Sato, he gripped his fist as he delivered a raging scream.

"Damn bird! Don't fuck with me!" With his left leg pinched from the ground, He punched the bird in the face which sent it scrambling and breaking the trees it collapsed on.

While Sato fell to the ground after losing his balance, "D-did I get it?" He murmured to himself.

<<Afrimmmarive, that was a direct hit>>

Sato smiled, "Souka… I don't think I can fight any… more" He uttered as he scanned his burnt-up arm and sigh.

"He-he just punched a Divine being in the face!" Orland uttered in astonishment.

Sato gradually stood up from the ground and took in a deep breath, "I can't give up now, the fuck kind of mc would I be!".

Boom!

He launched his body to the front before charging toward the Phoenix at maximum speed, ignoring everything else around him.

"Not yet, run run run!" He yelled as he approached the Phoenix, gasping with every step he took.

When he got closer, the Phoenix also stood up from the ground and sent a a thrill of flames Sato's way.

Sato rasped but he didn't weaver, taking a quick stop with his leg still gliding against the ground he cried out, "Devour!".

His dark mist initiated to take over the flames but that didn't last for long, the Phoenix flames were starting to surround his own mist.

Both forces smashed against each other, causing everything around them to blow away from the huge force they were creating.

The flames grew so big that some began whooshing past Sato while he worked to maintain his skill.

"Not yet!" He yelled, without hesitating, Sato dropped his hand and ran straight into the flames while screaming at the top of his lungs, "Not yet!".

Splitting the flames in two with his body, Sato positioned his hand on the Phoenix's head before yelling again, "Devour!".

His dark mist coated the whole of the Phoenix causing the flames it was shooting out to snuff out.

The Phoenix struggled to get free from Sato's clutches but he didn't let go, he held its head while releasing all his mist over its body.

<<Notice…Magic energy reducing rapidly>>

Sato was sagging but he didn't let go, he hung on until the Phoenix fell stomach flat to the ground before he also fell to one knee.

Isla was amazed at the sight, Sato was overpowering a divine beast, but she could also tell he was also being affected.

"Just…die already." Sato mumbled as he fought with the instinct to keep his eyes open.

"Wait wait! Okay I get it, I won't attack the elves again, I'll do whatever you want so please… just let go already".

Sato heard a female voice come out from the Phoenix's mouth, he let go of the Phoenix whose flames only covered its back now.

"Eh? Did It just concede?" Sato thought out loud.

A bright red light shone on the Phoenix bird and it immediately altered into a girl.

She had red hair and a red beautiful dress that labeled her stateliness at first sight.

"Who are you calling it, I'm a she I'll have you know, and my name is Divanchi." The girl voiced out while sweeping her hair to the side.

Sato stood there and didn't utter a word, all he did was gape at the girl before giving an awkward grimace.

"I.. risked my life… for this…" He stuttered with his eyes still fixed on Divanchi.

Divanchi pouted at him before tilting her head to look at the other elves who were just as shocked at Sato.

"Hey, you! I'm sparing your lives, so be grateful, degenerates!" She shouted while pointing at them.

"H-hai" They all responded at once.

"And as for you…"

Sato suddenly fell unconscious with his head sleeping on Divanchi's boobs. She gave out a tiny squeak before yelling.

"G-Get off me, you filthy vermin…. Ahhhh, get off!"

. . . . . . . . .

Benihime walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body, she headed toward her bed and sat down.

Her room had been divided with a long cloth, keeping one half of the room for visitors and the other half for Benihime's use.

Benihime removed the towel around her body and began drying her hair with it. The texture of the towel was drying her hair fast due to the magic embedded in it.

"Excuse me…"

A female voice came from the other side of the room, Benihime stood up from the bed with the towel in her hands.

"Do you need something Akari?" Benihime uttered before opening the clothes that divided the room.

She wrapped the towel around her body and sat down on the black chair that was close to the window.

"It's about the prisoner we just released, do you think that was the right call?" Akari asked with the hand fan covering her lips.

"Are you worried? or have you perhaps taken a liking to the boy?" Benihime asked before crossing her legs and smiling, revealing her legs to Akari.

Akari looked away, feeling flustered from the sight, "Well… it's just I've never seen a reason like this before, what if he ends up becoming a threat to use one day".

"If that were to happen, then we'll take them out like we do any of our foes,".

Benihime stood up from the chair and reached the other side of the room to pick up her clothes that were laying on the bed.

She pulled them close to her before tossing her towel to the side and putting on her underwear.

"What he does shouldn't be our problem, our people come first… every other thing is not our concern." Benihime uttered with a sweep of her hair as she put on her dress.

"I understand Lady Hime, but… I would be lying if I said, I felt a strong connection with him". Akari said while looking at the ceiling.

There was a sudden knock on the door and it was just the right timing since Benihime was done dressing.

"Yes, come in," Benihime voiced out.

Isla walked into the office panting as she dropped her sword to the ground and walked over to Benihime.

"Lady Hime! We have to take him under us!" Isla yelled.

"What are you talking about?" Akari asked.

"The non-existent prisoner… we need him if we are going to change this war!" Isla yelled with confidence written all over her face.
