With a map, Erinka single-handedly dared to enter a dense forest to get the Fire Bird, Phoenix.
"Ugh... shit, if not for the sake of getting the power of the legendary fire bird where I might have reached this far place." grunted as the forest mosquitoes sucked his blood.
He insisted, eager to reach his destination and after days in the wilderness, Erinka again saw the map which was the only clue, "I finally reached the destination..."
"The Phoenix firebird's nest!!"
The girl arrived at a cave located under the ravine and to get into the cave then she had to pass through the river first.
The river is also the current looks swift because the top of the river there is a waterfall that is quite steep, "Duh, now how should I go there?" Speak with thought.
After a moment of thought, Erinka found a way to get to the cave located at the bottom of the ravine across the river.
He took a rope that was on his back and tied the end of the rope to a large tree and tied the other end to his own waist, "I hope it works." he said by staring at the cave.
Yes, the rope was used so as not to drift carried by the strong river current.
After tying the rope Erinka felt safe to act, she jumped from the top of the ravine and fell into the river, "Bllum. bllum.." she laboriously tried to get to the edge.
And after much effort the girl finally made it to the mouth of the cave, "Hah..."
"I finally made it!!" He said that was happy even though his clothes were soaked.
He then removed the rope that tied his waist and tied it to a stone. The rope will be used again to climb the cliff after later success.
Erinka did not bring anything because it was soaked but she ventured into the cave even though the place was pitch black without light.
He held his index finger up and there was a fire in it, "Khihihi...!! Lucky for me because I'm a fire magic user." Erinka said with a laugh because it can overcome the situation.
The girl slowly walked down the wet and quite slippery cave on the surface of the cave.
Then the rock cave walls become sharp enough that can be used as a handle but if slipping can be very dangerous.
"Hmm... has anyone ever been here before, huh?" He said that he saw the bones of someone's body in the cave.
He did not feel fear or panic despite seeing the bones right in front of him because his goal of obtaining the Phoenix Fire Bird was much stronger than anything.
"Khih...!!" Although alone, but Erinka is smiling considering her goal can be achieved.
The originally wet cave soil now began to dry even the air temperature became slowly hot.
Erinka who was originally soaked in clothes was now dry, she saw a bright shining light and rushed quickly, "Phoenix...!!" Erinka was shocked when she saw a bird made of fire element nesting inside the cave.
"So it's Phoenix, huh?" He murmured inwardly as he saw the fiery red flames of the Phoenix Fire Bird, he also observed with a sneak so as not to disturb the Phoenix.
Erinka fell silent and muttered inwardly, "Now what should I do?" His voice was a little confused as the size of the Phoenix was much larger than he had thought.
Now catching and getting a contract from Phoenix is not as easy as what he imagined because he had to bet his life.
He stumbled to approach the Phoenix, but Erinka, less alert because she was too excited, stumbled upon a stone, "Bruuk...!!" He fell to the ground, "Oh, my nose is bleeding!!"
The slowness that caused the noise made the originally calm Phoenix Fire Bird now glance at him with a sharp look of eyes.
"Eehh...??!!" Erinka is shocked and confused by not knowing what to do.
Everything did not go according to plan so in the end Erinka immediately put on a vigilant attitude of wanting the Phoenix already knew of its existence, "What can be done...!!"
In the dark cave it became bright because the Phoenix was flapping its wings so that the fire spread everywhere, "WUUSS...!!"
The phoenix darted with a claw attack but the alert Erinka was able to dodge, "Cih...!!" He was upset that the clutch of the Phoenix claw was able to break down a stone.
Phoenix looked back at Erinka and flapped his fire wings.
"You think only you have fire." said Erinka with a sharp gaze, she increased both energy and focus and suddenly her right arm let out a blaze, "This is my magic power...!!"
The girl ran towards the Phoenix Fire Bird and directly hit one of its wings, "Jbbuuak...!!" The bird was thrown until it hit the sharp cave wall until it was pierced.
Erinka did not waste the opportunity, she also began to issue a contract scroll to bind the power with the creature.
"Eehh...??!!" Erinka surprised.
The legendary Firebird instantly became ashes whose flame thunders spread out in all directions and made the cave chamber turn blue, "This is bad!!" Murmured Erinka who realized she made a mistake, she immediately rushed to leave the place.
As he ran as fast as he could to leave the cave, "The Phoenix's Fire Bird has a special ability to be reborn from the dead and it is said that after returning from the Phoenix's death it will be much stronger..."
Yes, and sure!! The girl headed to the mouth of the cave and the blue ash began to smash the flames and in an instant changed to form the shape of the Phoenix Fire Bird, "Damn...!!" Erinka said with a glance towards the back.
"WUUS...!!" With a flap of wings the legendary bird flew darting with a blaze that overflowed, "...!!" Erinka was surprised at his speed and prepared to face him again.
"The...!!" However, the Phoenix is very fast and unexpectedly able to cut off Erinka's left arm with his sharp claws.
"ARRGHH...!!!" The girl grimaced in pain by holding her severed left arm, her eyes began to blur and she fell on the ground, "Damn, she's so fast!! I underestimated it too much!!"
"Am I going to die here??" His mind began to stir in fog as the Phoenix Fire Bird had stood straight before him and was ready to make a final attack.
With the flames overflowing, the Phoenix shot back and intended to end it all, "Damn...!!" Erinka muttered in despair but at the last moment a black fire suddenly appeared.
Slowly the black flames extinguished and a man with white hair stood right before Erinka who was almost unconscious, he focused the black flames on his fist and struck the Phoenix, "Jbbuuuak...!!"
Yes, the legendary bird was again removed and saw a man who suddenly appeared smiling grinning.
"Who is he?" Erinka said that her consciousness was slowly disappearing.
