Chapter 250 Heroine's Natural Enemy at Phoenix World
The air crackled with the sound of magic and flame as the Phoenix King and Queen lunged at Lilith Nocturna. The Dark Fairy Queen watched their charge with a bored expression, her skeletal wings spreading out behind her like a web of malevolence. Their massive forms blazed with golden fire, the sheer intensity of their combined auras creating a blinding light that filled the sky.
"Futile," Lilith murmured, raising a hand lazily.
As the two fiery titans reached her, a wave of dark energy surged forth from her outstretched palm. It struck the Phoenix King and Queen with the force of a collapsing star, hurling them back through the air. They collided with the ground, their bodies gouging deep furrows in the earth as they tumbled across the burning landscape.
"Is this truly the best you can do?" Lilith taunted, her voice dripping with mockery. "I expected more from the so-called rulers of the Phoenix World."
With a flick of her wrist, she conjured a storm of black flames that spiraled around her like a vortex of despair. The flames twisted and coiled, forming the shape of monstrous serpents that hissed and snapped at the struggling Phoenix King and Queen.
"Nightmare's Bloom," Lilith whispered, her eyes gleaming with sadistic delight.
The dark serpents shot forward, their forms shifting and warping as they tore through the air. They slammed into the Phoenix King and Queen, the black flames merging with their golden fire and twisting it into a sickly, darkened hue. The Phoenixes screeched in agony, their bodies writhing as the corrupting flames seared through their very essence.
But the Phoenix King's eyes burned with unyielding resolve. With a roar that shook the heavens, he flared his wings wide, releasing a torrent of pure, golden fire. The holy flames surged outwards, disintegrating the black serpents and pushing back the darkness that threatened to consume them.
"Queen, now!" the Phoenix King bellowed.
The Phoenix Queen responded instantly, her form igniting with an even brighter light. She soared upwards, her wings cutting through the sky like blades of pure radiance. With a graceful turn, she unleashed a barrage of flaming spears, each one infused with her own life force.
Lilith tilted her head, an amused smile tugging at her lips. She didn't bother to move as the flaming spears hurtled towards her.
"Tempest of Oblivion," she whispered softly.
A swirling barrier of dark energy erupted around her, deflecting the fiery projectiles with ease. The spears shattered against the barrier, their flames snuffed out in an instant.
"Is that all?" Lilith asked, her voice filled with mock disdain. "Surely you must realize how pathetic this is."
The Phoenix Queen's eyes narrowed, and she exchanged a brief glance with the King. With a nod of silent agreement, the two Phoenixes flared their wings wide, their flames intertwining as their bodies began to glow with an intense, golden light.
"Oh?" Lilith's eyes widened slightly, curiosity flickering in her gaze. "What's this?"
The Phoenix King and Queen's forms seemed to blur and shift as their flames merged together. Their bodies began to dissolve into pure energy, their individual auras combining into a single, overwhelming presence. The ground trembled, and the air hummed with power as the two Phoenixes fused into one enormous, blazing entity.
Lilith's smile faded, replaced by a look of genuine intrigue. "Ah, a fusion… interesting."
The newly formed creature towered over Lilith, its body a swirling mass of golden fire and radiant light. Its wings stretched out like a pair of burning suns, each feather shimmering with divine energy. Its eyes, twin orbs of molten gold, glared down at Lilith with a hatred that burned hotter than the fiercest inferno.
"Your arrogance ends here, Dark Fairy Queen!" the fusion roared, its voice a deafening symphony of countless Phoenixes speaking as one. "You will pay for the lives you've taken!"
Before Lilith could react, the colossal Phoenix let out a shrill cry, unleashing a torrent of flame so intense that it scorched the very heavens. The firestorm engulfed Lilith, consuming her in an explosion of light and heat. The ground beneath them melted into molten rock, and the sky turned crimson as the Phoenix's divine flames swept across the battlefield.
For a moment, it seemed as though Lilith had been completely obliterated. But then, from within the heart of the inferno, a voice rang out—soft, mocking, and completely unscathed.
"Impressive… but not enough."
The flames parted, revealing Lilith's form hovering amidst the chaos. Her body was wreathed in a shimmering barrier of dark energy, the Phoenix's flames licking harmlessly against its surface. She was completely unharmed, a look of almost childish delight on her face.
"Such power! Such magnificence!" she exclaimed, her eyes alight with excitement. "I haven't felt this alive in centuries!"
The fusion Phoenix let out a furious screech, its massive wings beating furiously as it launched itself at Lilith. The ground shook with the force of its charge, and the very air seemed to warp under the intensity of its flames.
Lilith's laughter echoed through the sky as she met the Phoenix's onslaught head-on. She moved with impossible speed, her slender form darting and weaving through the Phoenix's attacks with a grace that bordered on the surreal. She unleashed wave after wave of dark energy, each one exploding against the Phoenix's radiant body with devastating force.
But the Phoenix refused to back down. It retaliated with a relentless barrage of flames and claws, each strike shaking the very foundations of the world. Lilith dodged and countered, her movements a blur of shadow and light as she danced around the colossal beast. Yet, no matter how hard she struck, the fusion Phoenix's flames burned brighter and hotter, pushing her back inch by inch.
Then, with a roar that seemed to shake the heavens themselves, the fusion Phoenix unleashed its full power. Its body blazed with a blinding light, and it reared back, gathering all of its energy into a single, devastating attack.
"Eternal Judgment!" it roared, its voice reverberating through the air like the tolling of a celestial bell.
A massive beam of pure, golden fire erupted from its mouth, surging towards Lilith with the force of a thousand suns. Lilith's eyes widened, and for the first time, a look of genuine surprise crossed her face.
The beam struck her squarely in the chest, and the world seemed to shatter under the impact. Lilith's body was thrown back like a ragdoll, the sheer force of the attack carving a deep trench through the ground as it blasted her across the battlefield. When the dust finally settled, Lilith's form lay crumpled and broken, a gaping hole torn through her stomach.
For a long moment, there was silence. The fusion Phoenix hovered above, its massive wings beating slowly as it watched Lilith's motionless body.

But then, a soft, eerie laughter filled the air.
Lilith's body twitched, and then, impossibly, she began to rise. The hole in her stomach closed before their eyes, her body regenerating at a speed that defied reason. She straightened, her lips curled into a wide, almost deranged smile.
"Amazing," she breathed, her voice trembling with exhilaration. "You… you actually hurt me! Hahaha…!"
The fusion Phoenix's eyes narrowed, its body tensing in preparation for another attack. But before it could move, Lilith's form began to change. She grew larger, her wings expanding as her body swelled with dark energy. Shadows writhed around her, her aura swelling to monstrous proportions.
"Now it's my turn," she whispered, her voice a low, dangerous murmur.
With a roar, Lilith charged forward, her massive form crashing into the fusion Phoenix like a tidal wave of darkness. The two titans clashed in a storm of flame and shadow, their blows sending shockwaves rippling through the sky. The fusion Phoenix fought valiantly, its flames blazing hotter and hotter as it struggled to hold back Lilith's onslaught.
But Lilith was relentless. She conjured blades of darkness, each one slashing through the Phoenix's flames with terrifying precision. She moved like a demon, her laughter echoing through the battlefield as she battered the Phoenix again and again.
"Dark Nova!" she cried, unleashing a torrent of dark energy that exploded against the Phoenix's body, sending it reeling back.
The Phoenix screeched in pain, its flames flickering and sputtering as it struggled to stay aloft. But Lilith didn't give it a chance to recover. With a triumphant cry, she summoned a massive sword of pure, condensed magic—a blade of shimmering darkness that crackled with malevolent energy.
"Let's end this," she whispered.
With a single, fluid motion, she swung the blade down. The sword cut through the fusion Phoenix's body like a hot knife through butter, slicing it cleanly in half. The Phoenix let out one final, anguished cry as its body disintegrated into a shower of golden sparks, its flames fading into nothingness.
Lilith hovered above the battlefield, her dark sword still glowing faintly in her hand. She looked down at the spot where the Phoenix King and Queen had fallen, a satisfied smile playing across her lips.
"Beautiful," she murmured softly, her voice filled with genuine admiration. "What a wonderful display of power."
With a flick of her wrist, the sword vanished, and she turned away.
Nyx got Holy Phoenix so she decided to leave this place, and Lilith also leave with them.
