American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 484 Phoenix Form

"This is impossible!"

Leviathan watched helplessly as Roy was reborn from the ashes, his snake eyes practically bursting out of their sockets.

It would have been fine if this thing hadn't made a sound, but as soon as it did, it caught Roy's attention, who was feeling the power of the phoenix.

The blazing phoenix fire was coiling around Roy's body, like a battle robe, and it looked perfectly natural.

Roy turned to look at Leviathan, his eyes turning dangerous.

"Isn't this Lord Jealousy? He's gotten so sluggish in just a few minutes?"

As he spoke, Roy walked step by step toward Leviathan, his aura increasing rapidly with each step.

When Roy took that first step, his power surpassed the level of a demon lord and truly entered the level of the Seven Demon Kings, which he had never been able to reach before, even though he was the weakest of the Seven Demon Kings, at the level of the King of Greed.

Mammon: I've become a powerful unit?

When Roy took the second step, his power had reached the level of the three upper demon kings, only slightly inferior to Leviathan.

So when Roy took his third step, his power completely surpassed Leviathan's, making Leviathan feel as if it were looking directly at the sun.

That boundless, star-like vitality made the King of Jealousy unable to look directly at it.

"This, this is impossible!"

Leviathan said it was impossible for the second time; its mind was in complete turmoil.

In the tens of thousands of years, Leviathan has never seen anyone who could leap directly from a demon lord to a level stronger than the three upper demon kings.

Roy took a moment to look at his attributes and found that all of them were marked with the word "MAX," which probably meant that his attributes had reached the limit of this world.

So what is the maximum size of Hell?
"Leviathan, it's time to settle the score!"

Leviathan began to retreat, and the King of Envy, a very practical snake, was ready to say something nice when he sensed things were going badly.

“Mr. Black, I think it’s all a misunderstanding! I was already prepared to accept your terms, but I can’t control Venom! Perhaps we can make peace!”

Roy stopped in his tracks, a look of interest on his face.

"Make peace? What's in it for me?"

"Of course there are many benefits! I've collected many treasures over the years, and you can choose whatever you like!"

Leviathan blinked, his expression no longer displaying the domineering and arrogant look he had before, which made Roy unable to help but smile.

"Not bad terms! How about this, if you can withstand this punch, our feud will be over, how about it?"

"Okay!"

Leviathan subconsciously agreed, but then sensed something was wrong, because Roy was clenching his fists and gathering power.

How can we describe this power? Saying it shatters mountains and rivers or cracks the earth would be somewhat unrealistic.

To put it simply, Roy was like holding a nuclear bomb in his hand. The moment he threw the punch, Leviathan felt the threat of death. Leviathan immediately shrunk into a juvenile snake form and managed to dodge the punch.

Boom!

The blazing phoenix fire easily pierced through the pyramid walls, the explosive force reaching the sky and illuminating the entire heavens.

For a moment, all the creatures of the ancient sea thought it was dawn, but when they looked up, they found that it was not the sun rising, but a phoenix in full bloom.

Roy shook his head and sighed softly.

"As everyone can see, it's the King of Jealousy who's disrespecting me, not that I'm refusing his conditions."

Leviathan quickly shrunk back to its original size and then began to curse.

"You bastard! You have no intention of making peace with me!"

Roy shrugged expressionlessly.

"Oh dear, it seems you've found out. So what can you do about it?"

Leviathan was stunned for a moment, then a huge sense of humiliation welled up inside it, a humiliation that was more painful than taking a punch.

Roy is doing the same thing Leviathan has done before. The King of Jealousy always manipulates others, but this time it is being manipulated.

"Roy Black, you're asking for it! Do you think I'm really afraid of you?"

Leviathan was furious and had no intention of reconciling with Roy anymore; he only wanted to devour Roy whole.

Roy smiled.

"Then let's fight! There's no point in saying more!"

"Go out and fight!"

Leviathan immediately flew out of the wall that Roy had just punched through; after all, this was its palace, and it wouldn't look good if it was damaged.

Roy shared the same thought, after all, Elresa was still unconscious in the corner, and if a fight broke out inside the pyramid, the little succubus might be in danger.

Before leaving, Roy also created a protective shield for Elareza using phoenix flames to prevent her from being harmed by the baby snakes inside the pyramid.

"Lord Black, could you please take me with you?"

Just as Roy was about to fly away, he suddenly heard the sound of a magnificent scepter.

"You? Why is that?"

"I just don't want to miss this epic battle!"

Roy thought for a moment, then raised his hand and the magnificent scepter flew into his hand.

"Let's go then!"

Unexpectedly, the magnificent scepter took on a completely different form once it fell into Roy's hands.

Somewhat similar to the way hellfire renders weapons and equipment, the ornate scepter has turned deep red, and a phoenix spreading its wings has appeared on the top of the scepter.

"Wow! Lord Black, your energy is actually compatible with mine!"

The magnificent scepter's attitude has completely changed; it now speaks to Roy in almost the same tone it used to speak to Alma.

Roy didn't actually know much about the Phoenix Force, since his Phoenix Force had only just awakened. He only knew that in Phoenix form, all his attributes were at MAX, and his internal energy and energy projection ability were also at MAX.

"Let's go!"

Red wings made of phoenix flames appeared on Roy's back, and he flew out through the newly broken opening.

At this moment, Leviathan had already set up its battle formation.

But in the pitch-black sky, a giant snake was coiled up, and Roy couldn't even see its full shape.

This is the complete form of the King of Jealousy. Its body can reach thousands of kilometers in length, and its head is like a mountain. Roy looks so small in front of it.

"Roy Black, this is the true power of the King of Envy!"

Leviathan's voice was louder than thunder, scaring the ancient sea creatures on land into fleeing.

"Idiot! You think being loud makes you powerful?"

"What did you say?"

Roy was speaking in a normal voice, but Leviathan couldn't hear him. The size difference between them was too great; it was like a blue whale talking to an ant. How could Leviathan possibly understand?

Roy took a deep breath and roared at the top of his lungs.

"I'm telling you, you're a fucking idiot!"

This time Leviathan finally heard it, but it would have been better if he hadn't heard it at all.

"how dare you!"

The enraged Leviathan took a deep breath, inhaling the green miasma that permeated the ancient sea, and then exhaling it.

The deep green breath, mixed with Leviathan venom, swept towards Roy like a typhoon.

It truly could be described as a stench of blood and gore; Roy could smell a disgusting, fishy odor from a great distance.

"You're so arrogant!"

Roy gripped the magnificent staff tightly, and the power of the phoenix within him surged forth, instantly illuminating the sky with phoenix flames, like a dazzling sun.

"Then let me help you get rid of your bad breath!"

A colossal fiery phoenix appeared in the sky, its size exactly matching that of a fully-formed Leviathan.

The two forces began to collide in the sky, and for a moment the night of the ancient sea was as bright as day.

Fire rained down from the sky, and any creatures from the ancient sea that were touched by the fire rain were instantly burned to ashes.

However, the two forces remained deadlocked, with Leviathan's bloody storm gaining a slight advantage.

Roy's mastery of the Phoenix form is not yet perfect, so he cannot unleash the true power of the Phoenix.

"Not enough! Not enough! I can do even better!"

Roy relentlessly pushed his body's potential to its limits, yet he always felt that his Phoenix Force was still lacking something.

what is it?

At that moment, the magnificent scepter spoke.

“Lord Black, I can sense that your power is a combination of life and spirit, but you have only released the life aspect so far; you haven’t released the spirit aspect yet!”

Roy suddenly realized that the magnificent scepter hadn't been brought up in vain; it did have a purpose.

"Mr. Wand, how can we maximize the release of spiritual power?"

"Emotion! Lord Blake, you need an extreme emotion!"

Emotions?
Roy recalled the first ability he gained when he first came to this world, a power driven by fear: demonic possession.

It can be said that this world seems to be driven by various emotions, including the original sin authority of the seven demon kings of hell, which is actually seven different emotions.

So, what kind of emotions do you need to deal with Leviathan?
Roy closed his eyes and began to recall the power of faith given to him by the ordinary people around him when he faced the primal fears in his dreams during the Halloween event.

Suddenly, white light spots began to emerge from Roy's body.

At first, these white dots were very few, but as Roy got better, the white dots began to increase.

Then, the Phoenix Flame began to shrink, which made Leviathan think that Roy couldn't hold on, and he immediately became overjoyed and began to increase his output.

Actually, it wasn't that Roy couldn't hold on; Roy was shrinking the Phoenix Flame just to unleash it more powerfully, much like a person clenching their open hand into a fist.

The next second, ten wings of light suddenly sprouted from Roy's back, and it seemed that two more wings were about to grow out.

"This is impossible!"

Leviathan's eyes widened as it witnessed Roy's growth once again. Roy had actually upgraded from a ten-winged angel to a twelve-winged angel right before its eyes.

They simply don't respect the King of Jealousy at all!
This is actually a bit less impressive compared to Roy's previous rebirth from the ashes, which was a great leap from Demon Lord to the Upper Three Pillar Demon Kings.

However, the combination of a twelve-winged angel and the power of the phoenix is ​​different.

That's right, Roy successfully combined the power of the Phoenix with the holy light of the angels, transforming his original dual attributes of life and spirit into a triple attribute of life, spirit, and holy light.

"Leviathan, look into my eyes!"

Roy's roar echoed throughout the ancient sea, and the next second he transformed into the real sun, just like the golden crow in the mythology of Dongda University.

To put it simply, Roy's use of the Phoenix Force did raise the temperature of the flames, but it wasn't enough to subdue Leviathan.

However, now that holy light has been added to the Phoenix Flame, everything is completely different. The flames released by Roy are hotter and have a natural advantage against Leviathan.

"Do not--"

Leviathan let out a shrill scream, which should have been heard by all the creatures of the ancient sea. However, these creatures probably didn't have time to worry about their ancestor, because Roy's attack was an area-of-effect (AOE) attack.

The first to react was the continent beneath the battlefield. With the plants on the continent facing the sun so closely, what could possibly happen?
It ignites in one second, turns into a raging fire in two seconds, and is burned to ashes in three seconds.

The worst off were the hellish monks, who were pure dark creatures and evil spirits, so they were burned to death by the positive energy of the sunlight.

This time, there was no chance of resurrection; Roy's Phoenix Sunfire burned their souls to ashes.

Not only that, the oceans surrounding the continent also began to evaporate rapidly, and the sky was filled with a large amount of water vapor, making the sky hazy and distorted, so that people could not see what was happening at all.

Only Elareza, protected by the Phoenix Fire shield, was unharmed.

He didn't know how much time had passed—perhaps a minute, or perhaps a day—but when Roy had completely released the power within him, the sun finally set.

What we see is that this ancient sea has become an ancient desert. The boundless green ocean has completely disappeared, and only large areas of cracked seabed can be seen.

The continent where Leviathan's palace is located has been transformed into a giant piece of glass, a result of the chemical reaction of the most abundant silica in the earth under high temperatures.

The land and sea have already become like this, not to mention the creatures that lived here; they probably haven't even left a trace.

"Where is Leviathan?"

Roy looked up at the sky, where the Leviathan-like mountain was no longer visible.

"Lord Black, I just saw that guy shrink down, open a spatial portal, and escape!"

The magnificent scepter rang with a hint of glee; after all, Leviathan had threatened it before, and it certainly wanted to see Leviathan suffer a setback.

Leviathan was decisive; he abandoned his hometown and fled.

"Hmph! You run pretty fast!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a torrential rain began to fall from the sky. This was water vapor produced by the seawater that Roy had evaporated earlier, which gathered in the sky and turned into rain after the temperature dropped.

The rain that transforms from such a vast green ocean is naturally terrifying, falling as dramatically as a waterfall.

"Let's go find Elareza first."

The entire continent was burned into glass, and the pyramids were naturally not spared.

Fortunately, Elareza was unharmed and even turned over, seemingly fast asleep.

Indeed, the little succubus is quite sleepy. Tonight, she was woken up by Roy in the middle of her sleep, so she fell asleep right where she had fallen.

The author is truly envious of this quality of sleep!
Wake up! The sun's already high in the sky!
