Dark Phoenix Prince

Hearing the red-haired youth's words, Krinn nodded at Alu first.

"No problem." He said with a friendly expression. He didn't seem to mind because Alu was late.

He then turned his gaze towards the red haired youth.

"Arlo, this is the Alu that I mentioned earlier. He is the prince of the Great Phoenix Kingdom. It is a new Kingdom in the Holy Light continent." Krinn then said the origin of Alu.

"Previously they were known as the Phoenix clan. They are also very skilled in the power of fire. It is said that they are descendants of Phoenix from heaven." Krinn added with a joking expression.

Of course, he didn't believe the Phoenix clan's nonsense claims. He just wanted to tell about Alu in more detail. It is not known what the intent behind his actions was.

When people heard that Alu was from the Phoenix Kingdom which had only been established in recent years, people immediately whispered.

Now they knew Alu's background, and it was stronger than they thought.

Even though the Phoenix kingdom was only a newly established kingdom, it was still a great kingdom. Even in the Holy Light continent, there aren't many Kingdoms like that.

It's just that, they still don't understand why Krinn treats Alu with such importance.

Among those people, there were also some who were heirs of the Great Kingdom and the third tier factions. But Krinn never treats them the way he treats Alu.

What was even more confused was of course the people from the second tier faction.

If the others had to look up at Alu's identity, they were the opposite.

They now wonder if Alu is equal to them in terms of strength or even stronger.

After Krinn introduced Alu to the hairy young man called Arlo, he then introduced Arlo to Alu.

"This is Arlo. He is the young master of the Demon Fire clan. He is ranked fourteen among the strongest geniuses in the region of a thousand islands. His strength is not inferior to Jather." Krinn said to Alu.

"Hello." Arlo then greeted Alu. He smiled slightly as he said hello.

However, Alu could feel the sharp gaze hidden from him.

Alu also stared at him. But Alu only stared at him for a moment before averting his gaze. However, Arlo still continued to stare at him.

ALU naturally knew what caused Arlo to appear curious about him. In fact, Alu could even feel Arlo's flames lowering their head towards him.

It all stopped only because Alu disguised his aura so that his Phoenix aura disappeared.

"Nice flame." Alu said to himself after he observed Arlo.

"It will be a delicious meal for my flames."

While Arlo is still trying to investigate Alu, Alu has already decided on Arlo's fate.

Even though they weren't hostile, and Arlo didn't do anything to offend him either, Alu didn't think twice when he decided to take what belongs to Arlo.

Alu's cultivation path does not require the so-called right and wrong way.

In Alu's eyes, the one who is wrong is Arlo himself because he has something that can strengthen his strength.

Phoenix flames were created as the strongest flames. But no matter how strong Phoenix flames were, that was not the limit to the power of flames. It can still evolve to a higher level by swallowing other flames.

Vice versa, even ordinary flames can evolve to surpass Phoenix flames if it engulfs many stronger flames.

When Alu felt Arlo's flames, he knew his flames could evolve if he swallowed Arlo's flames.

It was something Alu missed a lot.

In the Phoenix kingdom and even in the entire Holy Light continent, Alu could barely find anything that could help his flames evolve.

Alu thought that if Arlo knew his flames could amplify hiss, he might as well consider snatching away his flames.

"But I can only do it later. Right now I have to focus on what Krinn is going to do with Jather."

Now, Alu doesn't underestimate Krinn anymore. Instead, he began to be wary of the man.

ALU now knows that Krinn is much deeper than he thought. And he could be much stronger too.

Moreover, even though Krinn seemed friendly to him, Alu could sense suspicion from him. Krinn probably already knows the depths. Or is he still guessing.

No matter what, ALU thinks he really needs to hold back for now.

The reason he introduced Arlo to him was probably also because he wanted Arlo to investigate it. After all, as a fellow fire power user, Arlo clearly had more of an advantage in sensing his power.

"I can't believe I'm going to die." Alu said to himself. "There's no way they can get in my way. Even if they are extraordinary, how can they compare to me, the Phoenix."

ALU couldn't believe that he would say such disgusting words. But Alu had to admit that he was starting to feel depressed now.

Now, Alu suddenly realized that his path had been really too smooth all this time.

First is Elizabeth whose strength exceeds his, and now Krinn who he can't read. Compared to them, Varog or Reva really seemed like country children whom he could easily trample over.

"Ehmm." Krinn then clears his throat as he sees Arlo still staring at Alu.

While he cleared his throat, he also observed Alu for a moment.

He then said. "Very well, since everyone's gathered, we can head for the dragon gate now. By now Jather should be there..."

After Krinn spoke, Arlo stopped looking at Alu. But, of course, he still looked at Alu every now and then.

But when Krinn wanted to continue talking, he suddenly slapped his forehead. He seemed to have forgotten something. Of course, what caused him to do that was because he saw Alu staring in a certain direction.

"Oh, I forgot to say. Earlier we saw them being surrounded by many beasts, so I saved them when I found out they were also members of the Phoenix clan."

"... * Alu

Even though the Phoenix clan members seemed fine, Alu naturally didn't believe what Krinn said.

He obviously didn't save them, but caught them. He probably wanted to use them to threaten Alu. But unfortunately he doesn't know that Alu doesn't care about them.

Of course, in front of people, Alu wouldn't overtly say that.

"So, young master Krinn, can you let them go now?" Alu then looked at Krinn. "They come to the holy path only to seek luck."

"Of course, of course." Krinn answered quickly.
