Entry Editing: Loyal Succubus Nun

[The Flame Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly (Epic) is evolving into the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly (Legendary)!]

Evolution?

A Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly?

Legendary?

A look of surprise crossed Su Xuan’s face. ’Isn’t the Demon Phoenix Butterfly supposed to be reborn after death, not evolve?’

’Evolving from a Flame Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly into a Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly?’

[Warning! The Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly is about to break out of its cocoon!]

[Anger Value +10%, Aggressiveness +10%]

[Taming Probability reduced by 10%]

[Current Taming Probability: 0%]

"Hm?"

’The Taming Probability is gone?’

Su Xuan’s brow furrowed. ’Am I really going to miss out on a Legendary-grade pet?’

’Without even getting a chance to try?’

’Wait.’

’If the Taming Probability dropped to zero because of its Anger Value, then if I lower its Anger Value and Aggressiveness, can I restore the Taming Probability to normal?’

He happened to have some Slime Condensate on him. He could give it a try!

"Damn it! We were so close!" Roxia bit her lip. "Everyone, retreat for now! We can’t withstand these flames!"

As the leader of this operation, Roxia had to be responsible for everyone’s lives. Moreover, she was now an Oath Knight of Sunset City and the current Patriarch of the Yerman Clan. She couldn’t afford to take a risk with no guarantee of success!

But!

Her heart was filled with unwillingness!

When Roxia was young, she admired her aunt, Rosaline, and often had her mother recount the details of her aunt’s every battle. She clearly remembered her mother mentioning the magnificent sight of the White Rose Flower blooming amidst a sea of fire!

Therefore, the power of the White Rose could definitely contend with the Flame Silk Demon Phoenix Butterfly.

It was just that!

With her current strength, it was still unknown whether she could withstand such scorching flames!

’If only I had my aunt’s immense power!’

’I’m sure I could...’

"Give me the Frost Fragment."

Suddenly, Su Xuan extended his hand to Roxia, asking for the Frost Fragment. "You all retreat first. Just leave this to us."

He had the Flame Gemstone, which could reduce flame damage by 80%. Paired with the effect of the Frost Fragment, he might be able to resist the flames erupting from the Flame Cocoon.

Besides, Players could be revived with a Resurrection Coin!

Even if he died unexpectedly, he could revive at the Guild.

In truth, dealing with the Flame Cocoon was simple; he could just have Rosaline rush in with the Frost Fragment. But! He wanted to gamble on that sliver of a chance!

’As long as it’s not zero!’

’It’s worth the risk!’

’What if I get lucky on the first try?’

"You..." Roxia looked at Su Xuan in surprise, her eyes filled with worry and hesitation. She didn’t want him and his companions to take this risk.

"Trust me. Even if you don’t trust me, please trust her," Su Xuan said, pointing a finger at the silent Rosaline behind him.

"..."

Roxia’s gaze flickered at the sight of Su Xuan’s confident expression.

She had rarely seen such a look of confidence. The last time she saw it was on her aunt... back when she was still alive.

"Be careful. If you can’t handle it, you must retreat immediately! I don’t want anything to happen to you!" Roxia placed the Frost Fragment into Su Xuan’s hand, her eyes shimmering with complex emotions.

"Don’t worry, I know my limits... Whoa, that’s cold!" The moment he took the Frost Fragment, the freezing sensation was so intense that Su Xuan almost dropped it.

He hastily tossed the Frost Fragment to Rosaline.

Next, he instructed Ivsha, "You go with Roxia and the others. Wait for me outside."

"Mhm~"

Ivsha nodded. She didn’t hesitate for a moment, a sign of the deep-seated trust she had in Su Xuan.

She firmly believed her master would never do something he wasn’t sure about. All she needed to do was believe in him; that was enough!

After Roxia and her group had all evacuated, only Su Xuan and Rosaline remained in the sea of fire.

Of course, as they left, they had left behind an Ice Magic Scroll to temporarily shield Su Xuan from the encroaching flames.

But this Magic Scroll wouldn’t be enough to let them advance further; it could only serve as a guarantee for their retreat.

"Rosaline, protect me."

"Mhm!"

Su Xuan commanded Rosaline. As the flames intensified, more and more powerful Flame Spirits materialized.

The Flame Spirits, which had originally been level 10, were now directly boosted to level 15.

But they couldn’t inflict any harm on Rosaline, who was immune to Elemental Damage. Protecting Su Xuan was not an issue.

Phew~

Su Xuan took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the Flame Cocoon in the distance. He whispered, "I hope I don’t melt before I reach it!"

With that, he strode toward the Flame Cocoon.

With every step he took, the flames erupting from the Flame Cocoon grew more violent. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

In just a moment, the Ice Magic Scroll burned to ashes, losing its effect.

The moment the ice barrier vanished, the flames, like a toxic gas, instantly engulfed Su Xuan’s body.

Just then, the Flame Gemstone on his chest began to glow brilliantly, starting to absorb the flames surging in from all directions.

Not only that, but while Rosaline was dealing with the Flame Spirits, the water spirit unexpectedly coiled itself around Su Xuan’s body.

The gentle Water Element wrapped around every inch of Su Xuan’s skin like a ribbon, instantly lowering the surrounding temperature to a tolerable level!

"So you’re this powerful?" Su Xuan looked at the water spirit in surprise. He never thought this little guy would put on such a dazzling display at such a critical moment!

It had performed a great service!

HISS~

In response to Su Xuan’s praise, the water spirit flicked out its tongue, as if smiling at him.

"Let’s go!"

Su Xuan took another step, moving closer to the Flame Cocoon.

At this moment, the air around him seemed to boil, but the intense heat had no effect on him. Instead, it became gentle, like the caress of a beautiful mother-in-law.

He moved swiftly in front of the Flame Cocoon, took the Frost Fragment from Rosaline’s hand, gripped it tightly, and smashed it violently against the cocoon.

BOOM!

A deafening crash exploded, as if the very heavens and earth were tearing apart.

A biting cold instantly erupted from the fragment, surging out like a tidal wave. It scattered the surrounding flames in a heartbeat, transforming them into a swirling, icy mist.

Although the Flame Cocoon’s fire still burned fiercely, the powerful effect of the Frost Fragment suppressed most of the flames.

"Phew~ Now I can make my attempt!"

Su Xuan took a deep breath. He had no intention of using the Frost Fragment to destroy the Flame Cocoon.

He was going to make an attempt, to risk it all for that minuscule Taming Probability.

Of course, even if the taming failed, Rosaline could still easily destroy the Flame Cocoon in its current state.

The Icefield Snow Maiden’s Frost Fragment truly lived up to its reputation.

Su Xuan quickly took the Slime Condensate from his pack and smeared it on himself. The feeling of the Slime Condensate on his skin was rather strange; it was like a lubricant, sticky and gooey, and it even had a faint scent of floral water.

"Let’s begin!" After finishing his preparations, he took a step forward and gently placed his hand on the surface of the Flame Cocoon. From his fingertips, a faint trickle of Magic Power flowed out, attempting to establish a connection with the soul of the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly.

However, just as Su Xuan was about to begin his attempt, suddenly—!

A deep, black torrent of Magic Power surged out from within the Flame Cocoon, howling toward him like a furious gale in the dead of night!

"What is this?"

BOOM!

An explosion echoed through the air. The black Magic Power detonated, shaking the surrounding flames until they flickered and trembled.

A piercing shriek ravaged Su Xuan’s ears.

"How dare you try to steal my Magic Pet! You’re courting death!"

’This is bad!’

Su Xuan’s brows knitted together. ’There’s still residual Magic Power from a Witch in the Flame Cocoon?’

Just as he thought he was about to be corrupted by the Witch’s Magic Power, a dazzling red light suddenly flashed on his forehead!

’That’s—!’

To his astonishment, Su Xuan discovered that a phantom image of the Slime King had appeared above his head, rising slowly like the sun!

[The Slime King’s protection has been triggered! Successfully blocked one instance of damage for you! And absorbed it!]

[You have obtained a wisp of Original Magic Power from the Night Witch!]

[Due to the loss of the Night Witch’s Original Magic Power, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly has become ownerless. Taming Probability increased by 10%!]

[The Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly’s Anger Value has decreased. Aggressiveness has decreased. Taming Probability increased by another 10%!]

Oho!?
