‡※‡Legendary Phoenix!※‡

‡One Month Later‡

It was early in the morning, sunlight had entered Cyrus' window on his bedroom, this warm light slowly crawled towards the bed before crawling at Cyrus fair jade-like skin, he was sitting on lotus position and was already cultivating.

He was already up and a matter of fact, he did not sleep that well last night, he had many things in his mind most of them were his plans on his future on what he would do.

He thought of problems that he would come across especially reminding the fact that the heavens were monitoring him, although they would do nothing at him yet, however they will still be wary of his actions and development.

He keeps reminding of it when Indra had told him last month ago.

Because of that, he had thought of many things, possibilities, and outcomes and after thinking about everything, he had already noticed that it was already past midnight.

He cannot sleep very well so he started cultivating, well it had advantages, one is to gather nature essence to improve his cultivation although by now it was extremely slow as if he was sucking an empty juice can with a straw but now it still better than do nothing and secondly, cultivating can be considered sleeping, after all, it relaxes the body severing his ties on consciousness to the physical world.

Moreover, it has been a month since he got half-crippled and that whole month he did not slack off a bit.

He trained and cultivated every day making himself similar to Clair when she was here back then, every day, she was training so hard to the point where she doesn't have any time to spend with her family, and right now, he was the same, he didn't have time to slack off, especially when he is weaker now.

If he had trained hard like his sister back then, then his powers could catch up to her because considering the fact that he too, was talented like his sister however his comprehension was much better and he has his wisdom from his previous life.

However, there was nothing to regret when it already happened... If I regretted it and being a coward who is afraid of getting hurt and afraid of stepping out of the world, then I do not deserve to be a martial artist!

I had to move forward and strive hard!

However, when he was training he had noticed a problem, his one-fourth of his strength that he can only use had a drawback, and that is he could not use 100% of his one-fourth of his strength in a long run!

He can only use all of his 100% of strength for one and half hours before plummeting down slowly cutting his strength at only 50%!

It means that half of his strength; he could only release 12,150,000 Kg at Paladin Rank! It is lower than average strength of normal cultivator at Paladin Rank which they have 12,800,000 Kg!

(For information look at Auxilary Chapter)

In addition, not only that, weapons could actually harm him. Weapons here in this world are really strong and deadly!

Because the metals they use here is something extraordinary if it were to be compared to a diamond, which is the strongest material known in his previous life, but if it were to compare to a common metal here, it would be like comparing a chalk to a rock.

Cyrus had learned this after studying smiting with his father, with this, his knowledge about ores is practically the same as a miner here in this world.

James also had asked Cyrus to make an outline of his sword that can be used as his custom sword before leaving here in the village.

Cyrus after hearing this, he was actually excited as he gave James an outline of a katana sword with extremely detailed information in it, which shocked James and what startled him even further was that is that the sword design that his son gave was unique looking in the world even him, his father eyes were shining after he saw this detailed outline that his son gave to him.

Because he has not seen such design for a sword but he had guessed that, it was designed for cutting and stabbing it is practically beautiful to look at if it were finally finished.

If he made the sword, it would be the first sword that had a foreign design in this world of Fantasya.

James also had decided that he would make this sword special than the one Clair had, because of Cyrus weakened strength, and also the fact that his strength was lower than the average strength of a major clan young masters and royal princes and princesses, this made them worried because they knew that Cyrus biggest thing that he can make an enemy is the one who has status.

For the sake of his safety, James would make it more special and time-consuming to make.

...

Without knowing, it was already noon.

Cyrus stood up from his bed and went outside of his room; he then went downstairs and saw that no one is around the house.

Maybe they went out to go to the city again...

Cyrus thought, he then walked towards the kitchen and he only saw a food on the table and besides it, there was a paper note.

He went there and read it silently, "I will be going to the city with your father to buy some stuff, and be sure to eat okay? -Mom... I knew it!" Cyrus sighed, before putting the note down and finally ate his brunch.

...

After eating, he went out and went outside of the village once again while walking outside the village Cyrus had thought, "Mother will get angry if I get caught here outside the village without her permission..."

Thinking her mother getting angry at him once again, he hesitated a bit but he shakes his head before continuing walking forward, "Oh well, I'll explain later if they went home earlier than me." Cyrus muttered silently.

He walked straight into the forest it was located only on the foot of the mountains.

In this forest, nothing should be a powerful beast or monster that demi-humans could encounter. This forest was hunting ground for normal humans, this is also, where hunters get their meats in the village, because of this, and almost seventy percent of the villagers are hunters.

While Cyrus was silently and lightly walking under the trees and on its shade, seeing the scenery up on his front, where dried orange leaves on the ground and trees with sunlight that passes through the canopy of the trees were simply magnificent, he had the urge to get a paper and draw this scenery but sadly, he doesn't have any materials to do so.

*Creak, crack*

Suddenly, he heard something that made him stop walking in the forest, the sound only came nearby it was as if sticks were being stepped on.

Multiple snapping sounds... I am 80% sure that it isn't a human... Cyrus analyzed the sound as he looked towards where the sound came from.

He walked closer towards that sound silently, he then peeks silently on the side of the rocks and saw that there was a pack of beast eating a pray wildly, Cyrus had thought that it was pretty normal, but then he suddenly sensed something abnormal happening around here!

Because what he had sensed, was a trace of a weak anima essence!

He focused his vision on the prey because he felt that the anima came from there.

When one of the beasts suddenly moved out of Cyrus' sight to move into another position, Cyrus was extremely shocked by what he had seen!

He had never thought that he would encounter a demi-beast in this normal forest! This type of beast was like demi-humans, they have anima circulating on their body, and they even had elemental abilities! Nevertheless, that would be too rare to encounter.

In addition, demi-beast is a lot stronger than normal demi-human by fifty percent of physical strength!

Beast with elemental abilities is rare to find except poison, which is very abundant on the continent of Celestia.

All beast has also a ranking system, they have eight levels, but demi-beast at eight level could only be heard on the legends and it had never appeared millions or billions of years ago!

This prey was a demi-beast was being slowly devoured by a normal beast (Normal animal) and it was already dying slowly, from the looks of it, the beast was a type of a bird that has a scarlet feather, and a long golden scarlet feathered tail.

Wait a minute...

Observing it more, Cyrus eventually was shocked as he was choked suddenly!

Because this beast only existed only in ancient times and should not be existing now, well according to the books.

However, it was right in front of him! It has a divine aura and graceful appearance, if people stare at it, they would think that they had seen a God before their eyes!

This demi-beast is divine Phoenix!
