Solo Assault: X Bird and Bird

They carried some Unmanned Stone and simple luggage.

Kevin roamed freely through the Giant Beast Kingdom.

"Haha! That's awesome!"

No need to be cautious, no need to stroll around, just keep moving madly toward your goal.

At this moment, no creature dared to approach Kevin, nor did any creature dare to hunt.

At least in this area, Kevin now has unrestricted access.

One day of full-speed travel is equivalent to the distance covered in the past few days.

Previously, on his way back from the Unmanned Stone Range, he didn't dare to run recklessly, since he wasn't familiar with that route and there were other people with him.

Now that I'm alone, I don't need to worry too much or be overly vigilant.

Only then can one truly experience the changes in strength and environment.

"Having come all the way from the Unmanned Stone Range, the only threats to me seem to be the monster in the Abyss and the Lord Resentful Eater Snake."

Even a small, immature Resentful Eater Snake like Little Wang could no longer pose a threat to him.

Even the older ones in the Snake Nest are not acceptable.

The Resentful Eater Snake is a creature that progresses through stages.

The difference in ability across each age group is enormous.

After all, they had personally witnessed the growth of a Resentful Eater Snake into adulthood, and the increase in its strength was clearly visible to the naked eye.

Looking back at Kevin's past performance with his current abilities.

The previous one Resentful Eater Snake in its Growth Stage, with its body length nearing its limit.

That's probably just the top of the Knight Rank.

That is, approaching one million units of thought.

However, once it transitions from the Growth Stage to the maturity stage...

He rose directly from the Knight Rank to the Lord Rank.

The millions of thoughts in between seem to disappear as if they didn't exist.

With this in mind, Kevin also crossed the Giant Beast Kingdom and stopped in his tracks.

After a long day of travel, it's time to rest.

Even though his current strength has surpassed the Knight Rank, traveling at night is really unnecessary.

It's not something that's urgent.

Having chosen a nice campsite, Kevin casually set up his campsite.

They didn't light a fire either.

He picked up the prepared dry rations and stuffed them into his mouth.

Actually, for Kevin now, not eating for a long period of time doesn't have any impact at all.

But we are still human beings after all, and eating is not just about obtaining nutrition, but also a relaxing experience.

Moreover, it was described as dry rations.

The people who made it were Men Qi, Xiahara, and Melusina.

Three top chefs.

Even the dry rations tasted incredibly delicious.

This makes eating itself a pleasure.

Kevin suddenly smiled as he looked at the compressed rations in his hand.

Remembering that everyone in the camp had relaxed considerably since his strength surpassed one million, they recalled that after his return.

The most obvious example is that when everyone was training before, it was almost always a rotation system.

Of a team of about twenty people, only two to four will normally undergo extreme training.

Moreover, the personnel involved are strictly regulated.

Only half of the personnel are combat-ready.

To improve one's strength at this stage, one must undergo extreme training, pushing oneself to exhaustion.

It is very dangerous in the Dark Continent.

The camp is not safe here, even though they are in the Snake Nest.

After returning this time, the number of trainees has increased significantly, and the members who are the main combat personnel no longer feel that cautiousness when training.

After all, this is the Dark Continent.

As he was thinking this, a wisp of orange-red flame spread from Kevin's back, around his collarbone.

"What's wrong?"

Kevin frowned and stood up.

This was the first time the Phoenix had appeared on its own, as if trying to remind him of something.

He immediately became alert.

After all, ever since the Phoenix possessed his body, it had become almost inanimate, giving Kevin complete control over the power of fire.

Phoenix appear and offer its assistance in extreme circumstances, when Kevin needs it.

"Above?"

Upon hearing this reminder, Kevin used the giant log as a springboard, dodging left and right, and with a few leaps, he reached the top of the nearby hillside.

This is the highest point in the surrounding area.

Look up at the sky.

At this moment, the night sky was filled with twinkling stars, and the full moon hung in the sky, casting its pure white light.

There's nothing wrong with it.

The flame in his hand Piao Piao like a pointer.

Kevin looked in the direction the flames were pointing.

Squinting.

It incorporates all the visual enhancement capabilities.

In the distance, he seemed to see something?

A tiny spark.

A light like a shooting star.

Very faint, very subtle.

"What is that?"

Silver Scale Armor covered Kevin's body, and layers of transparent barriers were also placed around him.

"You can't be sure what you mean?"

Kevin found it strange.

He thought the Phoenix was something he was certain of, which reminded him of it.

"Coming towards us? Is there a signal?"

What the heck?

The information provided by the Phoenix was also very vague.

He's been possessed for so long, and he still can't even have a normal conversation. What an idiot.

If Little Wang could talk, he would have been a chatterbox by now.

However, for now, all we can confirm is that the flashing light is coming from the sky.

Their presence was directed at them, and it emitted a certain fluctuation of information that was received by the Phoenix.

Isn't it hostility?

If it's a hostile message, then this suggestion seems rather odd.

In any case, remaining vigilant is necessary.

Kevin maintained his current fighting stance, crouching on the mountaintop, his eyes fixed on the distant light.

The light changed from flickering to continuous, and began to approach from afar.

So far away.

From this perspective, the place where the light just appeared must have been extremely far away.

It's at least tens of kilometers away.

This shows that the light emanating from that thing was extremely exaggerated; the shimmering light could be received even from such a great distance.

But this also shows that the thing is extremely fast, and is heading towards them at an incredibly high speed.

Finally, the thing got closer.

A fireball.

The so-called light was an orange-red flame.

Phoenix?

Another Phoenix is coming!

Suddenly, the flames on Kevin's body began to flicker and shrink slightly.

"What? What do you mean 'save her'? Are you scared? Calm down!"

The Phoenix suddenly transmitted a large number of signals, indicating panic.

The problem is that the Phoenix is still unable to express clear and accurate information; it's somewhat rambling.

"Alright, alright, you should stay out of the way."

Kevin gestured for Phoenix to be quiet.

We know absolutely nothing.

But clearly, the Phoenix was Phoenix hostile; something was chasing her.

"Release control, give me all the power."

Having heard Kevin's precise instructions, the Phoenix finally quieted down, then seemed to sink into a deathly stillness, its power completely under Kevin's control.

Countless bolts of lightning surged from Kevin's body, leaping across his Scale Armor.

In an instant, Kevin transformed into a monster covered in Silver Scale Armor and crackling with lightning.

Orange-red flames surged from the Scale Armor, enveloping the body, and spewed out wing-like flames from the wrists, elbows, shoulders, back, and lower back.

It transformed into a monster with a human-like appearance, but completely different from the human form.

Lightning and flames intertwined.

The incoming flames had become extremely clear; it was a Phoenix.

And it's definitely much more powerful than the Phoenix on Kevin's body.

He could even be compared to Kevin now.

They surpassed the Knight Rank, but did not reach the Lord Rank.

This is actually a significant stage in terms of strength, but Kevin hasn't named it yet.

The same information fluctuations as those from the Phoenix on his body were transmitted to him.

"Tell me to run, don't come here to die!"

Wasn't there a sign that there was still hope?

Upon getting closer, they discovered the disparity in strength?

Kevin has confirmed that this is also a Phoenix, so the signal that the Phoenix on his body received earlier was a distress signal from this Phoenix.

In other words, the two Phoenix have a mutual connection, after all, they are of the same kind.

Perhaps this Phoenix was fleeing for its life, and after sensing the presence of Phoenix nearby, it approached them in an attempt to call for help.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the phoenix was far Phoenix, so they gave up and let it escape.

From the signals the other party was sending, Kevin could sense that they were targeting the Phoenix on his body, not Kevin himself.

Clearly, this Phoenix could not definitively determine Kevin's strength.

However, compared to this, Kevin's Phoenix is indeed weak.

Suddenly.

Clear hostility was directed at him.

Lightning erupted, and Kevin leaped into the air.

Flames and lightning intertwined, propelling Kevin skyward and sending him soaring into the air.

Boom!

The deafening roar of thunder.

Amidst the deafening roar, Kevin's fist, crackling with lightning and flame, struck a Jet-Black Crow that seemed to blend into the night sky.

The giant Crow was caught completely off guard when Kevin launched his attack, and with such speed that it was struck directly.

In an instant, many of its feathers were knocked away, and its entire body was slammed down from the sky.

The immense impact caused the Crow to fall directly to the ground.

A loud bang followed, raising a cloud of dust.

The sudden change in circumstances caused the fleeing Phoenix to turn around and fly back.

Surrounding Kevin.

Kevin was now enveloped in fiery wings and looked at his fist.

The fist was no longer enveloped in flames; it was now pure Scale Armor and lightning.

"Am I angry?"

The flames on the fist were gone.

Why?

The problem was that the Phoenix's flames couldn't cover it anymore, as if his fist had turned into some kind of non-flammable substance.

Natural enemy.

In other words, this Crow is a natural enemy of the Phoenix.

Kevin took a deep breath.

The Mental Image appeared behind me.

An illusion of Four-Armed Tripod-Bearer hovered behind Kevin. The moment this thing appeared, the Phoenix that had been circling around him quickly distanced themselves.

They were now at least five or six hundred meters away from Kevin. Although they didn't continue to flee, they didn't dare to get any closer either.

The Mental Image that the eyes are open.

My gaze was fixed on the Grey-Black Crow in the smoke and dust below, as a gust of wind swept by.

The Crow took flight again.

The enormous, jet-black wings almost blended into the night. After flapping a few times, a large amount of black smoke enveloped and spread around at almost jet-like speed.

Kevin immediately stepped back, but still got a little bit on himself.

The grayish-black smoke didn't seem to be some kind of toxin, but after Kevin got a little on it, the flames on his body went out almost at a visible speed.

Really.

It is an existence that is like the natural enemy of the Phoenix.

Having realized this, Kevin immediately withdrew the flames and landed back on the ground.

Large amounts of gray-black smoke and dust rolled in.

As Kevin landed, lightning crackled around him, and his hair stood on end.

Entangled in lightning, it vanished the instant it hit the ground.

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

The Grey-Black Crow in the sky flapped their wings, their entire bodies enveloped in billowing dust, as if they had no physical form.

In an instant, the surrounding environment was almost completely enveloped in smoke and dust, with billowing black smoke resembling a sky full of sand and dust.

Kevin had been creating distance at lightning speed, stopped abruptly, turned around, and with his arms outstretched like wings, swung them forward with a sudden motion.

A violent gale formed a tornado and shot directly forward.

An exaggerated wind swept through, clashing with billowing dust.

Faced with the strong winds, the gray-black smoke was quickly dispersed.

"It doesn't seem very strong."

Although the area affected is extremely large and appears incredibly exaggerated, it is still something that can be blown away.

They widened the distance once again.

The billowing dust kicked up by the Grey-Black Crow was no match for Kevin and couldn't catch up at all.

However, Kevin didn't immediately create too much distance between them.

After stopping again, Kevin turned around and took a deep breath.

The range of this inhalation immediately creates a suction force on the surrounding area.

A large amount of air was forced into the body.

As Kevin stopped again, the gray-black Crow, carrying dust and smoke, swooped in once more.

The distance looks about right.

Kevin opened his mouth.

"Roar!"

The wind and sound created the enormous roar of the sonic bomb.

The transparent troupe soared into the sky.

The pillar-shaped attack instantly dispersed the smoke and dust surrounding the Grey-Black Crow.

The Grey-Black Crow, which appeared to be shrouded in smoke and dust and had no shape, once the smoke and dust dissipated, revealed its Crow -like black body once again.

Boom!

The roar of thunder.

A bolt of lightning shot upwards from the ground and into the sky.

Kevin's figure followed the lightning and appeared beside the Crow in the blink of an eye.

"Get out of here!"

One punch.

Thunderstorms and power intertwine.

The violent impact slammed the Grey-Black Crow into the ground once again.

Lightning struck the earth from the sky again.

Kevin, that's the bolt of lightning.

Thus, the battle between the two sides went back and forth for two hours.

This is the longest battle Kevin has fought since arriving in the Dark Continent.

Previously, the strategy was either to fight quickly and decisively, or to simply flee if the opponent was too strong.

This is the first time I've gone back and forth like this.

If his strength hadn't reached a new level, he would have run away long ago.

As the lightning flashed once more, Kevin created distance.

He caught his breath slightly.

We still can't kill him.

In terms of Nen level, this Grey-Black Crow is stronger than Kevin.

But just like battles between humans, all battles are not evaluated based on the most basic scale.

Rather, it's the means and manner of fighting.
