Gift of the Phoenix

The space battleship ‘Arin’ crossed the gate smoothly.

[Success!]

“I know.”

As expected, the black fog is also not visible.

“thank god.”

It is common sense that even transcendentalists cannot make gates.

To be honest, I was a bit anxious.

Almighty external force was used, but since I was the one who actually built the gate, I couldn’t help but be trustworthy.

But after I succeeded in such a cool way, I gained confidence.

Can you make it easier next time?

[Master, look over there! Why are you there?]

Looking down at Arin’s words, there is no other uproar like this.

Maybe this isn’t Earth?

No, it’s definitely Seoul… … .

“Why are there so many monsters?”

[The gate must have opened!]

“Isn’t that a bit excessive?”

For a moment, I felt a strong sense of discomfort.

Feeling like something bad is going on.

That feeling turned into confidence the moment I saw the firebird.

“I’m going out for a while, so take care of the ship.”

[Where are you going?]

“Talk to you later!”

I threw myself out of the battleship.

Over the phoenix, I see a boy falling rapidly down there.

‘Ramba?’

I’ve grown so much over the past five years, but I recognized it at a glance.

‘What the hell is going on?’

The phoenix suddenly appeared, the messed up Seoul, and the falling Lamba.

First, I needed information.

‘Concentration.’

Time passes slowly.

I had an external force in my eyes in it.

‘see.’

I see some string connected to Lamba. A string that stretches to the end of the sky.

I looked at Ramba.

Appears unconscious.

I understood Ramba’s situation.

The body is here, but the mind will be in some space at the end of that string.

Considering the characteristics of Lamba, there is a high probability that it is a world of phantom beasts.

I reached for the nearest cord and reached out. But the string was not caught. My hand simply passed the string in vain.

‘Should I spend points?’

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to write an external force.

If anything, I have to go in and get Lamba myself.

External power is better than divine power in this case, as was the case when the greedy Martin broke into the Calamity Lord’s sanctuary.

“after… … .”

He took the hand holding the external force by the string.

Unlike a moment ago, my hand didn’t go past the string.

‘It’s solid.’

While holding the string, I expressed ‘Connect’, the power of Lamune, and ‘Surfing’ in succession.

As the authority activated, I began to feel the space beyond the string, and I was immediately startled.

‘What the hell are you with?’

Where there is lamba, there is a transcendental person. He’s a great guy too.

I didn’t feel anything like living, but I couldn’t help but relax.

A transcendent like that would be able to get rid of Lamba with the flick of a finger.

I decided to go where Ramba is.

‘Let’s make a door.’

Once the gate is passed.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s not the world I live in, or it’s the space where high-ranking people live, but it seems to consume too much external force. At least to the point where I had to use half of the external force I had now.

Therefore, I chose the portal.

“Suck!”

external force was injected.

At that moment, the owner of the shrine on the other side of the string also recognized me.

[Who dares to step into my territory without permission!]

A voice full of divinity.

If I hadn’t had an external force, I might have let go of the string instinctively.

It felt so overwhelming.

I carefully but confidently revealed my identity, and the Transcendentalist thought for a moment before allowing me to enter.

[Come in.]

The divine power of the transcendent, unfamiliar to me, began to seep into my external power.

Rather than waiting, it is to create a portal by actively contributing to it.

In this way, the external power consumption can be reduced.

‘A good transcendentalist.’

I quietly watched the work.

After a while, time stopped and the completed portal pulled my body.

I surrendered to the flow without refusing.

My body started surging as fast as when I rode the cosmic water before.

* * *

I see a burning bird of enormous size.

The bird was sitting on a small planet in empty space and looking at me.

‘That’s amazing… … .’

The scale looks enormous.

I didn’t want to go against the nerves of that transcendentalist, so I quietly removed the external force that had been in my eyes.

It was then.

“brother… … .”

Ramba shed tears and hugged me.

“Ramba!”

why are you crying

With a curious mind, I brought my mouth to Lamba’s ear and asked softly.

“Has that bird bothered you?”

“No, Miss Kiathrace is a good person. just i… I only knew that my brother was dead.”

I patted Ramba on the shoulder.

“I’m sorry brother. I’ve been asleep all this time.”

“No, it’s okay because I came back. Are you okay?”

“Of course it is fine. But why are you here?”

“uh… I was on my way home from school when the gate suddenly opened. As I blocked it, the firebird… … .”

After the story of Ramba,

I was relieved.

‘I feel bad.’

If I hadn’t come, what would have happened to our Ramba?

I don’t know if he summoned Kiathrace and got rid of the firebird, but wouldn’t Lamba’s soul burn away after that?

Anyway, be nice and get lost.

I put honey chestnuts on Lamba’s head.

“oh! Why are you hitting me, brother!”

“Don’t do that in the future.”

“What?”

“Don’t bet your soul and act recklessly.”

“Even if I could risk my soul to save someone else?”

“I can’t.”

Ramba pursed her lips.

“Is there a difference between just dying or the soul dying, or dying anyway?”

“different.”

Very different.

“Anyway, I’ll talk about this later when I have time. stay here for a while Let’s start by saying hello.”

“yes!”

I bowed my head towards Kiathrace.

“Thank you for letting me in and waiting for you.”

I was caught doing something close to trespassing, and as soon as I came in, I started talking to Lamba without saying hello, so from the standpoint of a high-ranking god, he deserves to be angry.

But she asked me in a calm tone as if nothing had happened.

[Ramba’s older brother?]

“yes.”

She rolled her big eyes and said in a curious voice.

[I get it now! Are you Martin?]

“… Did you hear about me from Ramba?”

[Did you hear from Odin?]

… He doesn’t look like that, but he’s a strangely quiet man.

The feet are wide too.

[Well, I knew you existed even before I heard from Odin. You should be a bit famous.]

“haha.”

[By the way, aren’t you mortal? I heard that talent is ridiculously mortal.]

How far does my story spread?

“I became a quasi-transcendentalist this time.”

[ah! You said you defeated the existence of the outer door, right? Did that happen then?]

“Yes, but I haven’t completely defeated it.”

[I see. Anyway! You were Ramba’s older brother… To be honest, I was a bit surprised.]

“Is it strange that I am Ramba’s older brother?”

[Honestly, Ramba’s talents aren’t something that mortals should have, but you’re even better. Do you think the bloodline is enormous?]

Ramba and I are not real brothers.

Still, Ramba was blushing in a good mood, so I didn’t deny it.

“Well, that’s right.”

[By the way, there are many customers today.]

“Guest?”

A portal opens in front of us and someone jumps out of it.

‘… cat?’

As soon as the two-legged cat came out of the portal, it lay flat on its face toward Kiathrace.

[It’s an honor to invite you! Meet the Eternal Goddess!]

The appearance and clothes are somehow familiar.

‘ah! That cat then.’

The name… You said it was Pandrick, maybe?

The cat that Ramba summoned and gave to his father as a gift!

Ramba opened her eyes wide and shouted at the cat.

“Pandrick!”

‘Right.’

But even at Ramba’s cry, Pendrick didn’t look back.

I just had to lie still.

After staring at Fendrick for a while, Kiathrace spoke.

[You are the youngest prince of the seventh realm. It has grown a lot.]

[Thanks to the blessing of the goddess, I was able to meet and sign a contract with a good contractor. It’s just to be closed.]

[It was a long time ago, but you still remember it. Did you come because of Lamba?]

[That’s right.]

[Who heard that Ramba was here?]

[I heard from my father.]

[Looks like Chilitan woke up.]

[yes.]

[By the way, I guess you haven’t heard that Martin is here yet?]

Pandrick slightly turned his head. When I waved my hand, he opened his eyes wide in surprise.

king cat is cute

[…] I didn’t know.]

[Martin is here, so Lamba will be fine.]

Kiathrace smiled and continued.

[It feels good that the phantom beast and the contractor can be on good terms like this.]

[Thank you for your kind view, Goddess.]

Kiathrace’s gaze turned to Ramba.

It’s amazing how those big eyes can tell for sure which one of us is looking at.

[I am the god of winged children, but that doesn’t mean I reject wingless children. I rather love you.]

Why are you saying that all of a sudden?

[All of my children who signed a contract with you praised you. He is a good human being.]

“I only got help… … .”

[Whoops. I like you, Lamba. In that sense, I want to give you a present.]

“gift!”

Lamba’s eyes brightened with a flushed face.

‘A gift is always right.’

Chiatrace looked at Lamba and me once and burst into a bright smile.

[haha. No matter how much they are brothers, aren’t they too alike?]

oh! I guess I was making a similar expression to Ramba.

[Take it.]

When Chiatrace let out a breath, a small fireball flew out.

The dizzyingly heavy ball of fire flew lightly like a feather and penetrated Lamba’s chest.

“Oh! hot… I don’t carry it! But what is this?”

[Whoops. Just once, when you want, I’ll come and help you. Of course, I will handle all the causal factors involved.]

“Five… … .”

Ramba pursed her lips in admiration.

But I knew very well that it wouldn’t go beyond just that level of reaction.

‘It’s a great gift.’

It’s only once, but being able to summon a transcendent like that is tantamount to gaining an extra life.

When I saw it with the eyes of an external force, Kiathrace was a transcendental figure that looked as strong as Latun, no, even stronger than him.

If I can summon Kiathrace, even if the opponent is a foreigner, I’ll be able to give Lamba enough time to escape.

‘Good.’

As long as I have the right to summon Chiatrace, I think I can put aside my worries about Lamba.

I bowed my head and thanked her.

“Thank you for the undeserved gift.”

[Whoops. Still, Martin, I’m glad you appreciated my gift.]

At her words, Ramba tilted her head.

For some reason, Kiathrace looked at Lamba with warm eyes and said.

[I want you to be friendly with the children from now on.]

“yes!”

[Whoops, then go back soon. I need to get some sleep.]

First, Fendrick got up from his seat and bowed deeply toward Kiathrace, then turned to Ramba.

[I won’t forget today, Lamba.]

“… Sorry.”

The cat with mischievous eyes looked at me and lowered its head.

[Then see you next time, Martin.]

“Yeah, see you again.”

After seeing Fendrick disappear through the portal, I opened my mouth.

“Let’s go back too.”

“What about the firebird?”

“My brother will take care of it.”

“yes… Sorry.”

“What do you have to be sorry about?”

Kiathrace raised her head.

[Let’s talk about it while we’re together, and I want you to leave.]

“Yep!”

I led Ramba to the portal.

“let’s go.”

“yes!”

As I threw myself into the portal, my body was sucked into the bottom.

I’m glad things went well.

If I did something wrong, Lamba’s soul would have been destroyed… … .

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

‘It’s all because of that damn fire bird.’

So, let’s go back and kill the phoenix.
