I became a Digimon, changing the world every month

Chapter 259 Resurrection!

In the royal palace of the Principality of Veronica.

The aged king leaned on the throne. He had a white beard, no hair on his crowned head, cloudy eyes, and looked like he would not live long.

Below the throne were four tied-up members of the Ruby Organization.

There are also Moss, Ekleiya, Mengmeng, and Laxus who came to join in the fun.

Ekreya said to the old king: "After the Phoenix Stones merged, what appeared was not a phoenix, but a monster that would destroy everything, so the two Phoenix Stones must be destroyed."

"I see……"

The old king sighed and said, "It seems that the Phoenix Stone is indeed an ominous object. My foolish son was blinded by the legend and hired these bounty hunters. He actually did such a stupid thing. I apologize to you for his rudeness."

Ekleiya accepted the apology and said, "Can you give me the other half of the Phoenix Stone? I have already entrusted this magician to destroy the Phoenix Stone."

As he said this, he pointed to Mo Si beside him.

Moss raised his hands and greeted everyone around him: "Hello, I am the wizard from Fairy Tail - Angel Moss! Please remember this name."

Laxus rolled his eyes, thinking that it was the duty of a younger brother to announce his name, but it was unclassy to flatter himself.

“……” The ministers looked at each other.

The old king beckoned the prime minister and said, "Go and get that half of the Phoenix Stone."

The prime minister said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the Phoenix Stone is our national treasure. How can we just hand it over to these people of unknown origin?"

The old king hesitated and said, "But..."

The Prime Minister said: "As long as the two pieces of Phoenix Stone do not merge, there will be no problem. Even if they need to be destroyed, only one of them needs to be destroyed."

The old king pondered and said, "What the Prime Minister said makes sense. Ekleiya, please destroy the Phoenix Stone you have. We cannot give you this one."

"...I understand." Ekleiya nodded calmly, then left with Moss, Mengmeng and Laxus.

The old king watched everyone leave, then looked at the four people from the Ruby Organization and ordered, "Take these people to jail."

"Yes!" The guards came over and dragged away the four members of the Ruby Organization.

The old king stood up and took his prime minister to the temple where the Phoenix Stone was enshrined.

Looking at the half piece of Phoenix Stone, he murmured: "Phoenix Stone, after four hundred years, you can finally be reunited."

The prime minister was surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that merging two Phoenix Stones would summon a monster?"

The old king said: "It is true that a monster will be summoned, but that is only the prelude to the resurrection of the phoenix, or the sacrificial process. After this part is over, the phoenix will be truly resurrected."

Four hundred years ago, the old king's ancestor destroyed the Fire Village and not only obtained half of the Phoenix Stone, but also learned more information about the Phoenix Stone by torturing the survivors of the Fire Village.

This information was passed down from generation to generation, and later generations conducted further research on the half piece of Phoenix Stone based on this information. Therefore, the royal family of the Principality of Veronica knew more about the Phoenix than Ekleia.

When the prime minister heard about the sacrifice, he turned pale with fear and said in a trembling voice, "That will destroy the capital, right?"

The old king looked gloomy. He turned back to look at the prime minister and said in a deep voice, "It was me who made this country prosperous and made those untouchables live a rich life. Now I want to take back everything I gave them. Why not?"

The prime minister felt as if he was being stared at by jackals, tigers and leopards, and was so frightened that he was sweating profusely.

The old king asked again: "Do you want to watch me, a wise and powerful man, sleep forever?"

The prime minister was startled and immediately knelt down, prostrating himself on the ground, shouting: "Long live His Majesty."

The old king laughed and said, "You are wrong. What I want is eternal life!"

The Prime Minister echoed, "Your Majesty is the immortal Phoenix Emperor!"

The old king laughed.

The Prime Minister then asked, "But the two wizards next to Ekleiya are no ordinary people. Even the Ruby Organization is no match for them."

The old king said: "Professional matters should be handled by professionals. To get half of the Phoenix Stone, you don't need to defeat the two wizards."

"Ah?" The prime minister was puzzled.

The old king said, "He is the one who is good at stealing with replacement magic."

The prime minister suddenly realized.

……

Bauntari Forest.

This is a vast and ancient forest. Because the environment is rich in magical energy, it nurtures a large number of monsters, such as slimes, winged snakes, ferocious bullbirds, cyclops, etc.

To ordinary people, this place is as terrifying as hell.

But for powerful magicians, this place is not only a beautiful landscape, but also an inexhaustible library of materials.

The strong scales, horns, feathers, etc. on the monsters can be made into armor and clothes. Some monsters also produce magic crystals in their bodies, which can be made into magical tools.

Moss, Akirea, Mengmeng, and Laxus entered the forest early the next morning. After walking for about ten hours, they saw a red wall.

The walls are not made of bricks, but of magic.

Ancient magical words are floating on the surface.

Laxus took a look and said, "This is a barrier formed by word magic. It seems that no one has reinforced it for many years. Now it has become a decoration."

"..."Akleiya raised her hand and touched the barrier, and directly penetrated into the red wall.

Just like Laxus said, this barrier may have once blocked countless monsters, but now it is just a decoration, little more than an illusion.

When everyone passed through the barrier, what came into view was a dilapidated house.

There is not much of the roof left, and most of the walls have collapsed. It is now in ruins and covered with moss. It is unknown how long it has been abandoned.

Moss said, "It looks like a monster has been here."

After all, the barrier had been in disrepair for a long time, and if a monster entered here, it would cause damage. Ekleiya stepped forward and walked into the house.

The rest followed closely behind.

The group found a basement. Because the entrance was blocked by stone slabs, it was not trampled by monsters and the basement was relatively intact.

This was obviously a research room. There was a pile of books on the wall, but unfortunately they had rotted beyond recognition.

At the deepest part there is a table with a crystal ball on it.

Akeliya's eyes fell on the wall behind the crystal ball, because there was a painting hanging there, showing a family of three - parents and daughter.

The parents' heads were blurred, only the daughter's appearance was clear.

That daughter is Ekleiya!
"My childhood self..." Akeliya walked forward and gently stroked herself in the portrait. She felt mixed emotions and even her voice trembled.

"Akleiya." Mengmeng looked worried, but didn't know how to comfort her.

Moss and Laxus didn't know either.

Just then, the crystal ball on the table began to glow.

Mengmeng hurried forward and protected Akeliya behind her.

Laxus took a look and said, "Don't worry, it's just a magical image."

An elderly man appeared in the light of the crystal ball.

"Ekleiya..."

The old man said: "I heard from the survivors of the Fire Village that you survived. That's great... But, I thought about your fate..."

Fate?

The fate of the Phoenix Priestess...

Ekleiya frowned.

The man in the photo continued, "The days I lived with you were the happiest in my life... It's a pity that the Fire Village needs you as a witch, and I also have the mission of breaking the magic of the Phoenix Stone.

"I have already cracked the magic, but I am seriously ill and can no longer wait until the day you give me the Phoenix Stone... I'm sorry, Ekleiya.

"My dear daughter, Ekleiya, I only pray for one thing, that you can be happy..."

As soon as the words fell, the crystal ball shattered.

"father!"

Akeliya pounced on the man in the projection, but couldn't catch anything.

Mengmeng felt Akeliya's sadness and her eyes were filled with tears.

Akeliya did not cry, but left the basement with a sense of loss, followed by Mo Si and Meng Meng.

"What a bunch of sentimental guys..." Laxus stayed in the basement searching for the magic to crack the Phoenix Stone.

Not long after, Laxus walked out of the basement.

"There are signs that the basement has been rummaged through by other people. Someone must have been here before us, and the magic that can break the spell may have been taken away as well."

Laxus suggested: "Let's go to the Magic Council to look for it. They often commission tasks such as searching for ruins, so they have collected many ancient magic and magical instruments."

"The Magic Council..."

Mo Si muttered, then said, "We'll talk about this plan later. Let's try my method first."

With a thought, the sacred ring on her left ankle flew into her palm and turned into a sword.

Vajra Martial God Sword!
Laxus raised his eyebrows and said, "The difficulty of destroying the Phoenix Stone is so high that we have to develop targeted magic to crack it. Do you know what this means?"

"What?" Mo Si tilted his head.

Laxus was speechless for a while, thinking that this angel was just like Natsu, and said, "It means that it is ten or a hundred times more difficult to forcibly destroy the Phoenix Stone than ordinary items!"

Mo Si smiled and said, "That's easy. I just need to exert ten or a hundred times the destructive power."

Laxus rolled his eyes. Could destructive power be increased so easily?

Mos looked at Ekleiya and said, "Let's give it a try. There's nothing to lose anyway."

Ekleiya nodded and took out a necklace hanging around her neck.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Mo Si, Akeliya and Meng Meng were all startled.

Laxus was confused: "What's wrong?"

"The Phoenix Stone is gone!"

There was supposed to be half a Phoenix Stone tied to Ekleiya's necklace, but now it has turned into an ordinary stone of similar shape.

“Replaced.”

This was obviously not an accidental loss, but a premeditated one.

Moss, Ekleia, and Laxus looked at each other, and a name popped up in their minds—the capital of the Principality of Veronica!

They immediately returned to the capital as quickly as possible.

boom! boom! boom!
Before we even got close to the royal capital, we heard loud noises.

When I walked closer, I saw a huge mechanical monster wreaking havoc in the royal capital. It was more than 60 meters tall and had huge wings, but it could not fly. From a distance, it looked like an iron rooster.

Huge fireballs emerged from his body and were shot out, which could shake the earth and cause the sky to crack.
