*Screech!*

The firebirds spewed out terrific flames that melted the pillars. Reve glanced away and realized that Amethyst had disappeared, "That damn god!"

Now, he finally understood what he was playing at but it was too late. Amethyst fed to them to their deaths!

Reve used his appraisal skills on the flock of birds.

[Young Firebird (Lv.60)]

[Young Firebird (Lv.66)]

[Young Firebird (Lv.70)]

[Young Firebird (Lv.61)]

[Young Firebird (Lv.51)]

...

There were hundreds of firebirds and the strongest of them were at Lv.70. Thankfully, they were still young. If they had developed, there wouldn't be any chance of them surviving. That did not mean that there was a chance right now!

"Ahhh!" screamed one of the candidates as he tried to fight back.

He got burnt by one of the firebirds when he tried to fight it. At this time, all the pillars had melted and the place became a hellhole with the firebirds raining arrows of fires on them.

'Think. Think. What is the grand scheme here?' analyzed Reve.

His enchant spell was activated which enabled him to barely possess enough speed and endurance to keep evading the wild attacks from the firebirds.

He wasn't like the others. He didn't possess an unimaginable array of offensive attacks. Circe had told him that he was more suited to a controlling battle style. Even his excellent mana control was proof of that.

To the naked human eyes, only blurs could be seen in the palace. It seemed like everyone was maintaining their fastest speed.

A large firebird dived at Reve. It was too fast for Reve to dodge even with his enchantment.

His body burned fiercely but another Reve appeared distances away from the other Reve that got burnt. He swiftly sent a mana blast at the firebird. The bird counter-attacked with a fireball.

The two attacks clashed and the fireball came out easily on top. Reve hurried and unleash an array of mana blast at the fireball that was coming closer. It was only after this was the fireball stopped.

He quickly activated his [Force Barrier] when he sensed that the firebird was already close to him.

*Boom!*

The bird burned through the barrier and punctured pinched Reve with its beak. Reve bled out abundantly.

The pain was becoming too much for him to bear. Thankfully, his outstanding regenerative traits kicked in and his wounds closed up.

Without thinking too much, Reve transformed to his [Prime Mode]. He realized that he needed it to deal with the firebird.

'Firebirds. Descendant of phoenixes. Their flames can burn through anything even mana and Ki, gaining the name, Pure Flames. Worst of all, their body is always covered in such flames. Damn!'

Despite his [Appraisal] not giving him any information about the firebirds. He had read about this legendary creature during one of his classes with Circe.

'Ok, maybe I have a chance!'

Since normal magic spells weren't going to work, Reve decided to change his tactics. He thought back to the meal he ate. It was cooked from the flesh of a firebird.

Thinking of this, something lit in his head.

He opened his mouth and took in the chill air. Then, he swallowed in a large amount of ice elemental mana.

A few moments later, he roared out like a dragon, wasting all his mana on the firebird.

*Roar!*

The bird responded with its own fiery version of the roar. It suddenly became a clash of fire and ice. Normally, Reve would be on the losing end easily but when he put all his mana in the attack, the scale evened.

Slowly, the flames on the firebird's body waned out as it became more concentrated on its fireblast. Reve's eyes twinkled as he speculated on this.

While his ice roar was still active, he dragged his heavy left hand and cast [Nature]. A plant whip rose from the frozen ground and pierced the heart of the firebird easily.

It was only until then did Reve finally close his mouth. He rushed to the corpse of the firebird and consumed it greatly without caring for the splashes on blood on his white fur.

This was his plan. He was to confront the bird with all his power and find a way to sneak an attack when all its defenses were down.

Firebirds don't have strong bodies. The only thing special about their body was their resilience to their pure flames.

Reve smiled as he sucked out the flesh out of one of its rib bones. He finally felt his energy recovering. Very soon, he would be back to his full strength.

Reve thought, 'Amethyst wouldn't want us to take a brutish approach. I should conserve my energy while killing as many as I can. I should also abstain from revealing my cards, just in case. Hmmmm…..let's see, these bones.'

He used telekinesis to play around with the bones. The bones were immune to pure flame. This meant something good.

Reeve smirked, "Truly, the origin of a cure is always the same origin of the poison. This is interesting."

Around him, many bones circulated. Reve smiled and closed his eyes, a mental image of his surrounding was sent back to him.

Like that, he moved. Each time he appeared, he would send one of the bones at a firebird, targeting their hearts.

Sometimes, the birds would dodge but when he unleashed a barrage of all the bones, no bird was spared.

Afterward, he would consume the corpse of the firebirds, leaving only the bones. He was adding them to his collection.

Finally, he had seen hope in this perilous situation!
