Chapter 264: Opposing Views
"Catch that Cangniao-kin!"
On the broad street, Aoxi maximized her advantage in the air. Her giant wings abruptly spread, rapidly skimming over the sky above the Phoenix Knights while using her wings mixed with gales and blades to violently attack the Phoenix Knights. Although they had the protection of armor and were quite thick-skinned, the blades of the Phoenix Raiment were sharp, leaving behind profound scratches every time they passed by.
Such an offense was naturally extremely dangerous for Aoxi. Every close-range contact with the Phoenix Knights would always increase the risk of injury. But just as they were about to raise the thin swords in their hands to defend, they suddenly found their hands feeling as heavy as a thousand catties, completely unable to counterattack no matter what.
They looked down in astonishment, only to discover that their hands had been tangled with ring after ring of transparent yet extremely tough magic threads at some unknown time, confining their range of movement.
It's that Alajina's man!
"Aoxi!"
Seeing that Fisher had already controlled the Phoenix Knights, Aoxi's eyes focused, preparing to launch a fierce attack. In mid-air, her wings abruptly hugged herself, and she spun rapidly in the air like a drill.
At the same time, the Phoenix Raiment on her body also erupted with dazzling cyan radiance following her movement. The trembling main bodies of the blades manifested an extremely excited sense of preparatory movement, as if itching to act and unable to wait to leave her wings.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
In less than a moment, accompanied by a crisp chirp like a bird song, Aoxi's rotational speed also reached its limit. The hundred or so sharp blades on her body also violently detached under such immense acceleration, rapidly flying towards the Phoenix Knights beneath her."Cling cling cling!"
Blades fell like a torrential rain. Fisher, pulling Weaver, also had to retreat backward, leaving her attack range to avoid being accidentally injured by her offense. Looking at the cyan daggers deeply submerged beneath the stone slabs of the ground, Fisher was somewhat surprised. He wasn't clear whether it was the Cangniao-kin's robust physique or the nature of the relic itself that made that attack so lethally destructive.
Unfortunately, this guy Eimhart hid faster than anyone else once a fight broke out, dispelling Fisher's thought of wanting to ask him.
Under Fisher's auxiliary control, the Phoenix Knights on the ground were like a group of living targets standing in place, taking the full brunt of Aoxi's Phoenix Raiment. As a result, this skill of Aoxi's looked quite dazzling, but hitting others was completely painless. Those Phoenix Raiment blades didn't fully pierce the armor of the Phoenix Knights at all, merely remaining on the surface tier to serve as their decorations.
"What a pity, the Phoenix Raiment hasn't been completely collected yet, and this Cangniao-kin hasn't grown strong enough to completely control this heirloom relic. It looks like she's giving this group of Phoenix Knights physical therapy..."
Eimhart, hiding in Fisher's pocket, smacked his lips upon seeing this scene and commented with considerable pity.
Aoxi in mid-air became quite exhausted after executing this attack. Her face was flushed, her chest continuously heaving up and down, and even her flight movements became slightly unsteady.
"Catch her!"
The Phoenix Knights seized the gap of Aoxi panting and successively raised the thin swords in their hands. Layers of milky-white magic crests lit up above the thrusting swords, forming an illusory sword aura around the sword bodies.
Four-ring magic, [Phoenix Breath].
This four-ring magic was the signature magic used by the Phoenix Knights of the Sardin Matriarchy. It could enchant oneself with a frost effect and also expand the attack range of the sword blade. It had a remarkably special effect against enemies at a long distance, of large size, or wearing heavy armor.
Sensing the cold-infused sword blades assaulting her, Aoxi subconsciously summoned the Phoenix Raiment to return to her body. As blades flew backward towards her from the ground and the Phoenix Knights' armor, their offense was temporarily slowed.
At the same time, Fisher behind them seized this opportunity, violently reached out and grabbed Weaver, yanking it towards his direction, and sprinted madly towards them.
Seeing Fisher charging alone towards that group of iron lumps, Eimhart in his pocket was so frightened he retracted his eye and yelled at Fisher.
"Fisher! You are a magician! Stop shaking me, otherwise even if I'm a book, I will vomit!"
Eimhart was deeply afraid the Phoenix Knights' frost magic would ruin his well-maintained book cover. Originally, he thought whether Fisher was a scholar or a magician, his combat should be relatively elegant. Who knew this guy actually liked to play melee combat? Every time he stayed on Fisher to fight together, it made Eimhart dizzy and lightheaded. This was also why the moment a battle started previously, he would hide as far away as possible. It was just that this time, it was truly too late...
If he had known earlier, he should have gotten down and hidden earlier!
Fisher's expression remained unchanged. The Phoenix Knights beside him clearly also noticed the weak man who didn't know his limits and sprinted towards them alone. Under the helmet of the leading Phoenix Knight, a disdainful smile unavoidably appeared on her face, because to the women of the Sardin Matriarchy, neither domestic nor foreign males could compare to them in physical stamina.
"It's Alajina's man, we..."
Before her words finished, the man wrapped in a cloak before her eyes, which made his appearance somewhat strange, had already violently thrown a punch at them. A strike wrapped in giant force ruthlessly landed on the helmet of the foremost Phoenix Knight, knocking her entire person back, which then pushed the Phoenix Knights behind out of control.
Just like dominoes, the Phoenix Knights gathered by Weaver's control were surprisingly hit with crowd control by this simple strike of Fisher's.
This wasn't over yet. After one punch, Fisher didn't continue attacking. Instead, he raised his palm towards them. In his hand, a ring erupted with dazzling crimson radiance.
The magic materials he bought just now were completely insufficient to engrave high-ring magic, so he only engraved Weaver, Bee's Dance, and a Dragon-Man magic that, although having a low ring count, had an unexpectedly good effect.
Dragon-Man magic, [Fafnir Dragon Flame].
"Boom!"
The next moment, a massive amount of fierce flames resembling a giant dragon's breath erupted from Fisher's palm. Even though it had been optimized many times by Fisher, the moment the magic activated, he still felt that ring become exceptionally scalding.
"Aoxi, dodge, come to me!"
Feeling the searing heat in his hand becoming increasingly obvious, he hurriedly shouted to remind Aoxi, who was still staying in mid-air.
"Boom!"
The next second, a burst of explosive dragon flame sprayed from Fisher's palm, like a dragon head abruptly opening its bloody gaping mouth towards the Phoenix Knights, swallowing the street and the Phoenix Knights in front entirely.
The fierce flames drilled into the opponent's armor along the damaged areas caused by Aoxi's blades just now, thoroughly destroying the defense the Phoenix Knights took pride in. They could only watch helplessly as their bodies were covered by pain.
With such a commotion, Blair's side should have also received the signal by now, right?
Just as Fisher watched the Phoenix Knights blown away by his dragon breath magic, considering whether to use that tiny card to send a reminder to Blair in the distance, a swaying shadow suddenly flew over from above the flames.
He had just looked up when he saw Aoxi, with her wings spread out, rushing towards him with a face full of panic.
"Fisher, be careful!"
She frantically flapped her wings wanting to raise her flight altitude. As a result, unknown whether she had expended too much physical strength when launching the attack just now, it led to her being completely unable to control her own flight trajectory, making her uncontrollably charge towards Fisher.
The next second, Fisher, who had raised his face, instantly felt something soft like a water balloon crash onto his face, accompanied by a rich milky scent that also surged into his nose. His entire person was struck by Aoxi, who was like a large bird, almost being pounced onto the street.
"Woo!"
Reacting rapidly, Fisher reached out a hand to grab her back to stabilize her out-of-control center of gravity. As a result, it was like triggering a physical switch on Aoxi's body, making her violently spread her giant wings. In her back-and-forth flapping, they surprisingly acted like airplane air brakes, dissipating her forward momentum.
"Ha... so... sorry, my wings were ignited by your magic just now, so I instantly lost control..."
"..."
Aoxi's panicked words rang out. She shyly cast a glance at Fisher's hand resting on her back and hurriedly explained to Fisher.
It turned out that two or three feathers at the tips of her giant wings were accidentally scorched by Fisher's magic, so she failed to control her flight trajectory and crashed towards him.
It was just that at this very moment, Fisher couldn't see anything at all, because right now his entire line of sight was completely covered by Aoxi's water balloon-like softness. Besides the continuously surging fragrance and searing heat, he couldn't see anything.
His body stiffened abruptly, not daring to move an inch, deeply afraid that the scent of a female Cangniao-kin brought by breathing the next second would make him completely lose control and do excessive things on the street.
Moreover, completely different from that pair of giant wings, Aoxi's body was truly far too soft, simply worthy of being called the type most liked by Naris gentlemen. Fisher, who loved ladies, was naturally no exception.
And Aoxi was still puzzled why Fisher didn't respond to her words. She blankly looked down and discovered that her bird claws had subconsciously grabbed Fisher's crotch area, resulting in his face being entirely buried before her chest.
Aoxi's little face instantly turned frighteningly red. She opened her mouth but couldn't speak clearly. Having no choice, she hurriedly flapped her wings and leaped down from Fisher's body, panickingly jumping to the street beside him.
"So-so-so-so-so-so-sorry! I... I didn't mean to do this! Sorry!"
As a traditional Cangniao-kin of the Sardin Matriarchy, Aoxi had views completely opposite to the secular world. So after discovering this matter, she surprisingly subconsciously believed that she had acted frivolously towards Fisher and brought shame upon him. Little did she know that to a Naris gentleman, she was the one being taken advantage of just now.
Aoxi lowered her head and apologized consecutively a few times, then subconsciously lowered her head, wanting to bury her head in her cloak. As a result, she discovered her cloak was currently still wrapped around Fisher's face. This made her even more ashamed to the point of feeling extremely ashamed. Secretly casting a glance at Fisher's stiff body, she buried half her face in her wings.
It's truly... too humiliating to see people...
The Steel Knife on the roof in the distance tilted its head. Looking at its foolish owner, it hurriedly opened its mouth to comfort her.
"Idiot... idiot..."
"..."
Seeing her panicked appearance, Fisher said "It's fine" not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Then he silently took out Eimhart hiding in his pants pocket. Under his puzzled gaze, Fisher looked towards the street in the distance that had been swept by the Fafnir Dragon Flame.
Only to see that on the pitch-black street, those Phoenix Knights had completely lost their combat capabilities, lying on the ground either delirious or groaning in pain...
Since the outside has been more or less dealt with, then now we can go inside to help Alajina deal with that remaining Great Knight Commander of the Phoenix Knights.
At this time, the interior of the tavern was not quiet. The consecutive sounds of fists crashing into flesh, furniture, and wine bottles shattering continuously came out. Compared to a duel between sisters, the commotion inside seemed more like a major demolition was taking place.
These two sisters from the Hammond Fiefdom of the Sardin Matriarchy continued the fine tradition of the matriarchy's ladies at this moment, deciding to vent their inner anger using the most primal and direct brawling method. Although the commotion was relatively large, it was unexpectedly devoid of the real danger of using swords and guns. This was also why Fisher and Aoxi both chose to deal with the knights outside first.
Supporting himself on the wall, he walked into the interior of the tavern. Alajina and Heliana seemed to have already fought into the depths of the tavern, leaving only the outer area in a complete mess due to the battle. Within it, the crew members of the Iceberg Queen who had just disembarked were also lying at random angles.
Fisher frowned and went to Pakhz and old Jack. He reached out and felt their necks. Except for Pakhz, whose pulse was somewhat indistinct due to too much fat on her neck, the rest of the crew all had normal pulses.
In other words, Heliana and the Phoenix Knights completely didn't want to kill Alajina's crew, but rather came for the person Alajina?
But clearly these people also participated in Alajina's rebellion to murder her mother, the vassal king. Logically speaking, they should also be settled accounts with by the Phoenix Knights...
Right at this moment, Fisher suddenly remembered the matter just now when those Phoenix Knights had just opened their mouths to read Alajina's crimes, they were interrupted by Heliana using "pansy bullshit" as an excuse.
Fisher raised his head and looked towards the depths of the tavern. There, a pair of blood-connected sisters were still fighting intensely.
