Her system was upgraded once again.
It had a name too. Alpha's Evolution System
It could also gave the informations that Raliz wanted to know about the Silver Dagger.
" Relic Item: Vampire Silver Dagger.
Attributes: Deals great damage to Legendary and below.
Magic Defense Penetration.
Physical Defense Penetration.
Special Ability: [Ability Leech]. Could extract the ability of the host and become the users ability.
Condition: Must be a Vampire or must have Dark Powers.
Consequence: More prone to Bloodthirst."
When Raliz saw this information she frowned. She could use it but it has the worst consequence.
She wouldn't risk herself. She just put it in her storage and just use it in case of an emergency or her last resort.
She couldn't use it anytime anyway. She needs to activate her Dark Form first so that she could use it properly.
Raliz didn't got too sad about it. On the bright side, she got so many rewards. Mostly, Crystals which contain Spirit Energies and can be use to exchange many powerful Items.
Raliz closed her eyes and get some sleep.
...
Noon. Sun was set overhead.
Raliz and her team were warmly celebrated their departure by the Kingdom's people.
An hour later, they arrived at the Bridge of Fire and Ice.
The Cliff was still dark like abyss and the bridge looked like an ordinary stone bridge with huge statues on each sides.
They walked across it easily. Nothing happened. Raliz was wondered why. She looked at Serpent who was floating beside her. Serpent just shrugged its shoulders.
Aldrin speak up.
" There's a story about this bridge." Everyone turned their heads to Aldrin.
" They say that this Bridge was connected to Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. Spirits are dragged here for the trial. Those Statues over there are the Guardians of this bridge. They gave the trial to the souls." As he told them the story, he turned to looked at Raliz.
" Tell me. What happened when you were looked like dead? Did your spirit went here?" He asked.
Raliz with still and calm expression, she answered, " No."
" I was just like slumbering or sleeping like that."
Aldrin just nodded. Then, they resumed their pace.
Few minutes more and they'll reach the Artillery Kingdom. They walked at slow pace, enjoying the view of the wheat and rice field. Different kinds of creatures happen to wander around the place.
As they walked, Black Knight, Harry and Aldrin talked silently.
" You'd given it, hadn't you?" Black Knight asked.
" Yes." Aldrin casually answered.
" Does she know?" Harry now silently asked.
" No." Aldrin calmly answered.
Harry and Black Knight looked at each other, they're a little bit worried.
Aldrin was the reason why Raliz came back from the dead. It was because he used the Knight's precious ability. Knight's Loyalty.
Knight's Loyalty is the most precious ability for Knights. They could only use it once. Knight use it to choose their Queen or King in their life. It's the same when you propose to the girl or boy that you will forever love.
As for the Knight's Loyalty, if used they will serve and protect that person and always be on their side because there will be consequences.
Knights' lives will depend on their King or Queen. If the King or Queen dies, they will too. If the King or Queen is far away, their power reduces. But if the Knight will die, it's soul would turn into a magic wisp and become an extra will for their King or Queen.
Aldrin didn't plan to tell her though because of an unknown reason.
" So, where's Thunder Phoenix?" Vanessa asked Raliz.
" Oh! It's in my Gem, it said that it want to sleep in a quite place, so I hid it there." Raliz said.
Raliz had kept Thunder Phoenix in her Space Storage because she don't want it to attract any trouble.
Sure enough, powerful people would like to have Thunder Phoenix and Raliz's power might not be enough to prevent that from happening.
Raliz brought out Thunder Phoenix.
" Hi Master!" Thunder Phoenix greeted happily. It looked to Serpent who was at Vanessa's hands.
Serpent didn't even looked.
" Master, I'm hungry. Can you feed me?"
Raliz was confused.
" What do you want to eat?" Raliz asked. She didn't know what would Thunder Phoenix like to eat.
" Lightning!" Thunder Phoenix said happily.
Raliz nodded and Lightning came out from her palm. Lightning Strike!
Thunder Phoenix opened her beak and the Lightning was sucked in. Thunder Phoenix looked unsatisfied and asked some more. Raliz gave it more but still Thunder Phoenix was not full.
Suddenly, a person with a hood came down on a tree.
The person looks like a guy.
" So... You're the person who gained the Thunder Phoenix's trust? Laughable." He coldly snorted.
Raliz raised him an eyebrow.
" Who the hell are you?" Raliz threw back.
The guy didn't answer instead her team answered her question.
" Raliz... That's Lightning Robin. The powerful Elite here in Artillery Kingdom." Witchita said while watching at Lightning Robin.
Lightning Robin looked at Vanessa. He looks surprised.
" Princess Vanessa. I'm glad to see you." He greeted Vanessa politely.
Raliz just stared at Lightning Robin.
" Glad to see you too." Vanessa said.
Lightning Robin turned back his gaze at the Thunder Phoenix.
" Looks like you're having a hard time feeding the creature. Oh right! You're weak after all." Lightning Robin's body crackled with yellow lightning.
Thunder Phoenix excitedly turned around. It was attracted. Thunder Phoenix didn't looked hostile with Lightning Robin though. It happily flew to him.
Thunder Phoenix enjoyed the lightning on Lightning Robin's body.
Raliz was so infuriated about what's happening. " Thunder Phoenix? You're such a bad bird! Come back here this instance!"
Raliz was so jealous. Thunder Phoenix didn't listen and stayed for awhile.
Raliz cringed.
After a minute, it burped like it was full. It flew towards Raliz and sleep at her shoulder.
" This... Bird!" Raliz was still angry.
But Lightning Robin's word was true though. Raliz's still weak. She needs to learn a much stronger lightning move to satisfy the Thunder Phoenix's needs.
" You're here to deliver something, right?" Lightning Robin asked Vanessa as he walked closer.
Lightning Robin passed Raliz like she was invisible. He looked at Aldrin.
" You must be the leader. You're strong." Lightning Robin confidently guessed. Aldrin squinted his eyes to see if Lightning Robin was joking but he wasn't.
Aldrin shook his head.
" You're mistaken. I'm not even from this team." Aldrin pointed out Raliz who was ready to punch someone any second.
" That's the leader over there."
Lightning Robin looked at Raliz in confusion but that expression turned into a strange one.
" Her?! She's your leader! You must be joking, right?! She's so weak! Her Level is at Warrior at least!" He laughed hardly humiliating Raliz.
Her teammates expressions started to looked cold.
Vanessa was about to say something but Raliz's hand waved and it made her stop.
Raliz smiled.
" You're so arrogant Mr. Robin. Don't judge the book by its cover. I might be stronger than you think." Raliz remained calm and proud on the outside but in the inside, she wanted to kicked Lightning Robin's butt.
" Really?" Lightning Robin is tall. He leaned his face down to Raliz to level his with hers. "Well, show me then."
Raliz couldn't hold it any longer and her palm struck onto Lightning Robin's face.
He was shocked. He didn't even saw that coming. He was slapped!
Vanessa's eyes widened. " She slapped Lightning Robin?! Did Lightning Robin intended to be slapped?" Confusion filled Vanessa.
The slapped was so strong that Lightning Robin flew away at a distance. He hit himself at a tree. His hood fell over showing a beautiful face with a red mark that has the shape of a hand on his left cheek. And a long hair dropped to his shoulder.
Everyone was surprised by what they discovered. Lightning Robin was a girl!
Lightning Robin caressed her face. In a girly tone, she said, " Wow! I didn't saw that coming!"
" I'm so sorry for misjudging you. I wish you could forgive me. But what you did made my beautiful face looked bad, so forgive me of what I will do to you." A dire expression appeared on her face.
She cast a spell and the sky darkened. Black Clouds were swirling up to sky. Then, thunder rumbled.
Thunder Phoenix opened its eyes.
Lightning fell down targeted Raliz. It was so fast that it didn't even gave Raliz time to move.
Raliz's team stepped back, surprised.
The Lightning dispersed and the Dark Clouds went away, showing the sunny, clear sky again.
They looked at Raliz but what they saw made them twitched and shiver. Thunder Phoenix's mouth was wide opened and it sucked the Lightning that came down.
Raliz didn't even felt she was touched by Lightning.
Lightning Robin's eyes were opened wide. She was baffled.
Then, she threw a punch at Raliz. She was so fast that she made after images on her fist. Raliz couldn't dodged it and she received multiple attacks. She thought there would be one punch.
She was sent back and stumbled to the ground.
Raliz wiped the blood off her face. She looked at Lightning Robin and a smile crossed to her face. Raliz was amazed by her extreme speed. It was impossible for her to dodge.
Raliz estimated that Lightning Robin's level is somewhere at Master.
How could she tell? It's because Lightning Robin's strength. Lightning Robin exert more force in that punch showing her overall strength but it couldn't even dealt a fatal blow to Raliz.
Raliz didn't want to let this pass through. She stood and without hesitation she attacked.
Thunder Phoenix floated in the air watching the two fight. Thunder Phoenix is not actually a baby. Like Serpent, it has the knowledge and attitude of a powerful being. It was all an act.
Thunder Phoenix examined the people while fighting.
