Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 57: Binding The Soul

In the spirit world.

When Alu fights Varog, Charlie and Elly, who are meditating, stop their meditation. They opened their eyes and watched what was happening outside.

When they saw Alu's cruelty towards Varog, they just watched without saying a word.

But when saw Alu swallowed Varog's soul essence, Elly could no longer remain silent.

"Disgusting. He even eats his fellow man. No wonder his Phoenix is black. I doubt he's really a Phoenix." Elly said with disgust.

When she is not in front of Alu, Elly becomes cynical about Alu again. It is not known what happened to her.

His sister's words made Charlie look thoughtful. He looked at Alu with a doubtful expression.

But in the end he just shook his head.

"No matter what he does, he is still our current ally. We will be with him for a long time. As for what he does, it has nothing to do with us." He stopped and looked at Elly.

"Besides, Elly, since he's a descendant of the Phoenix clan, you have a destiny with him."

"Hmph" Charlie's last words made Elly snort with a disgruntled expression.

Their conversation Alu of course heard it. After all, everything in the spirit world is under his control. As long as they are in his spirit world, Alu can always watch their actions.

Alu saw their disgust for his actions.

But Alu doesn't care.

Actually Alu is not the one who makes soul purification the main way.

He just didn't refuse it.

And he only did it when the opportunity arose in front of him. But he wouldn't take the initiative to gather soul essence like other demonic cultivators did. Unless he really needed it, of course.

Besides, ever since he awakened the Phoenix soul, Alu no longer completely considered himself a pure human. He also thinks of himself as a Phoenix.

If he looked at it from the perspective of his Phoenix, humans were just another race.

Just like humans, Phoenix can eat any creature as long as it's not their fellow race.

...

Reva suddenly bowed towards Alu.

However, what was more surprising was; when she was just about to bow, she suddenly directed her hand to catch Roux's hand.

After that, she then pulled Roux's hand down. She said to Roux in a stern tone. "How dare you still stand, quickly bow to His Highness."

"..." Roux

Roux didn't even have time to react and had his head hit the ground already.

But even though he was completely shocked, he didn't dare make a move after being forced to bow down by Reva.

Apart from not having the courage to refuse Reva's orders, he was currently also filled with fear towards Alu.

"Your Highness, I am ready to serve you forever. Please accept me as your slave." Reva then spoke to Alu. Her expression was filled with pleas.

Even though she could currently be considered a follower of Alu, she did so because of the king's orders. Between her and Alu there is no master and follower relationship.

And at this time, she decided to become a complete follower of Alu. Apart from her changed mentality, she also felt the boundless future from Alu. She felt she could reach the peak as long as she followed Alu.

Maybe the path Alu took was not the path she had hoped for. But she doesn't care. For her, the most important thing is not the path, but who goes through the path.

As long as she could reach the peak, she didn't care even if everyone hated her.

What Reva said shocked Roux once again. But this time he didn't think much, after Reva finished speaking, he also said the same thing.

What Alu had done to Varog was simply too cruel for Roux.

Roux was afraid it might happen to him too.

Even though he never offended Alu, wasn't Varog the same.

Since he has a relationship with Reva at the moment, Roux is afraid that he will become the next target. Hence, Roux thought that only by becoming a complete follower of Alu, only then could he be sure that Alu had not done anything bad to him.

Alu didn't look surprised when he saw Roux and Reva kneeling and begging to become his slaves. Alu just stared at them with cold eyes. And he seemed to be considering whether he should accept them or not.

To be honest, Alu does want followers who are completely loyal.

Although he has an aloof attitude, Alu is not a closed-minded person.

Alu knew that to do great things, he couldn't do it alone. There were too many places where he would need someone else's help.

In the Kingdom of Phoenix, Alu can ask the people of the Kingdom, but in the outside world, he doesn't have anyone to command.

"Mm, I guess it would be fine if I let them. After all, they won't be able to bother me either..." Alu then nodded after a moment of contemplation.

"And well, I also have something that can tie them down completely. They won't be able to betray me. Their souls will be completely mine."

Many people worry that their followers will betray them, but Alu has something to prevent that.

When Reva saw Alu nod, she immediately smiled happily.

Even though Alu hasn't spoken, Reva believes Alu has agreed to her request.

Whooss...

However, when Reva was thinking like that, Alu who was standing in front of her suddenly released flames towards her and Roux.

Reva was shocked when she saw the flames. The flames did not emit heat, but when she saw the flames, Reva suddenly felt an extreme danger as if the flames could kill her in an instant. Her eyes filled with panic when she saw the flames.

But, despite feeling the extreme danger, Reva chose not to move. Reva is pretty smart. She knew that if Alu wanted to kill her, she wouldn't have a chance to live on. She still believed Alu wouldn't do that. So, she could only hold back her fear.

As the flames started to touch her body, the sense of danger that Reva felt also became even more extreme. She felt as if her future had been cut off ever since her body came into contact with the flames.

However, what surprised her was; she actually felt no pain when her body came into contact with the flames. Instead she only felt a little warm. Reva wonders what makes her feel the danger.

But Reva quickly discovered that something was wrong. She discovered that the flames were actually starting to penetrate her skin and enter her body. The moment that happened, the danger she felt became even more extreme.

"Shut up, and don't fight... You will die if you fight."

As Roux and Reva became even more panicked, they suddenly heard Alu's voice. They then raised their heads to look at Alu, and they found Alu's expression to be very serious now.

The flames that Alu released naturally were the Phoenix Flames Burning Soul technique. The main use of this technique, as the name suggests, is to burn one's soul.

But apart from burning one's soul, the Phoenix Flames Burning Soul could actually also be used for other things. One of them is binding one's soul.

Phoenix Flames Burning Soul were basically Soul Flames, they were flames that could be used to come into contact with souls. Destroying souls is just the simplest way to use that fire.

But to bind one's soul, it takes a more complicated method.

Alu's expression became naturally serious because he needed concentration. If he moved carelessly, the flame could burn Roux and Reva's souls.

After hearing Alu's order, Roux and Reva quickly calmed themselves down. They don't know what happened, but they still know that they are on the brink of death. At the moment they could only watch the flames entering their bodies.

And when they saw the flame inside their bodies, they became even more shocked. They discovered that the flames were actually moving towards their soul essence.

What made them even more afraid was; those flames were actually starting to blaze towards their soul essence.

If it weren't for Alu's cold gaze, they would've jumped up and escaped.

Luckily they were able to keep quiet. And fortunately, their soul essences also didn't burn when enveloped in the flames.

However, even though their soul essence seemed fine, they still couldn't calm down. It's because they found something even more terrifying. They saw the flames of Alu that enveloped their soul essence actually starting to merge with that soul essence.

While they were taken aback, Alu showed a smile as it happened.

"Stay there and be a part of them." Alu then said.

Using Phoenix Flames Burning Soul in that manner was actually also Alu's first time. Alu had known that for a long time. But knowing just isn't as easy as implying it.

In reality, Alu had practiced countless times, and this was the first time he had succeeded.

While he was still training, not a few lives were lost due to his failure.

Even now Alu can barely finish it.

What allowed Alu to do so at this time was because his control over his strength had increased quite drastically since he had reached the Life and Death stage in the three cultivation fields.

What Alu does in essence is combine his own fire with someone's soul and make the fire completely a part of that person's soul. As the person grows stronger, his fire becomes stronger too.

But one thing remains the same, the fire will continue to be under his control.
