' Salty '
That was the word that came to Max's mind as he tasted the blood of the phoenix for the first time ever.
His decision to drink Phoenix blood was on a whim because he could not conjure any other moves, however, the effects it had on his body were something he had never anticipated.
The Nirvana Phoenix was a magical creature whose blood was one of the most critical components of several life-extending alchemical potions.
It was rumoured that the fresher the blood was the more potent its effects would be, however, nobody had ever thought that drinking it straight out of the phoenix's body was even possible because of the protective flames on the phoenix's body.
Max was most likely the first individual in the history of the universe who was uniquely equipped with both the fangs needed to suck blood and an unnatural fire resistance that prevented him from burning to a crisp in front of the phoenix.
