9 THRONES

CHAPTER 84: BLACK CHAIN

As Vann drew his hand closer to the red ball, Vann's entire body suddenly froze.

Vann felt like a sedan gazing at an extremely powerful existence, this gaze gave him the threat that as long as he dared to touch the red ball, he should be prepared to lose his life.

Sensing the threat, Vann did not become afraid unless he smiled. Vann was not a quitter, if Vann's willpower was that weak, he would have long stopped being a cultivator and lived a normal life like what his father had said.

Even Vann's father had already prepared a lot of money for him so as not to be confused anymore about finances in the future, but Vann rejected the options given and decided to become a cultivator. He did not give up and took the easy way of life his father prepared, but Vann stepped forward towards the path of a cultivator who was notoriously difficult and full of death.

Among the cultivators, Vann was very far from the strongest figure. But when it comes to determination, Vann has the confidence that not many people have more determination than him.

Vann moved his hand and touched the black red ball in the middle of the room, an extremely powerful heat energy instantly emerged from the black red ball, which was a red ball, fire soon formed in Vann's hand holding the black red ball as if trying to burn it.

"Aaaaa!", Vann shouted loudly, he endured the pain of the flames burning his hand "Strade Technique 5 Element stage 1, Water Wave!".

Although Vann was not holding the sword, water covered his entire hand and tried to extinguish the fire that almost burned him.

Slowly, the area around Vann began to change along with the flames that burned his hand disappearing.

In front of Vann's eyes, the blood-red fireball had long disappeared and replaced the figure of a giant bird over 20 meters tall.

The entire body of the bird was an extremely powerful red-colored flame, a terrifying aura could be felt on the fire bird.

The problem was that the fire bird was being bound by tens to hundreds of black-colored chains, black chains spread all over its body and made the fire bird just able to quietly lie on the ground.

The fire bird seemed to sense Vann's arrival, so he raised his head full of trouble "Guests? Very rarely, the last time a guest came was a few years ago. Son, why are you here? Does my fire not burn you?".

Vann stared at the fire bird curiously "Who are you?".

The firebird was silent at Vann's question, then he laughed out loud as if he heard something the funniest in the world "I've just met someone like you, like you, most of the people who come here must have had the good goal of either conquering me or taking away my power, they must have known me! Among all the people, you're the only one who didn't know me and came here".

"Birds Vermilion?" said Vann, surprised that he had heard of this name.

Vermilion Birds were sacred level spirits like the Phoenix where they were fire birds that had frightening regeneration abilities. Not only that, it was said they could recover their bodies nonstop unless one destroyed their entire body with a single strike, not giving the slightest chance of attacking.

"What happened to you? Why are you here?", asked Vann puzzled, according to him the Vermilion Bird that was a saint-level spirit should not be in a small place like Talper Province.

"The story is long" said Vermilion Bird recalling the past "I think it's okay to tell you, after all I've been alone here for a long time that I almost died from boredom. I am the Vermilion Bird Spirit, a holy spirit that belongs to a cultivator. But one day, my master reached his age limit and almost died. The matter of my master being worried, if he dies then what happens to his sect? After all most of the people in the sect were not that strong".

"Therefore, my master used a crazy technique that swapped his life. In exchange for him dying sooner, I as a spirit who should die with my master stay alive. More precisely my body is divided into several parts: a armor, a sword, a shield and blood. I am the blood part of the Vermilion Bird, even though the power of the original Vermilion Bird is already divided yet we remain holy spirits, more precisely holy weapon spirits".

Vann nodded, he had heard of a weapon-type spirit. Different from spirits in general such as Kyuro, the weapon spirit has the form of a weapon that can help its master.

Generally there are not many people who only have a weapon spirit, most cultivators who have a weapon spirit must also have another spirit on him.

Vermilion Bird continued his story "But even if I protect the sect, in the end my sect is destroyed by a great power and I along with the holy weapon spirit of the other Vermilion Birds are separated. I don't know what happened, but when I woke up I found out that I was in the hands of a pillar holder".

"He said I should give up on him and become his holy weapon spirit, but I refused. No matter how strong a person was, as long as the weapon spirit that had no master and was still alive refused to follow them then they could do nothing. The angry pillar holder sealed me at the bottom of this crater, hoping I would stay here until I went crazy and gave up boredom".

"Do you know where the other Vermilion Bird's sacred weapon spirit is? Then why did you refuse to follow the main pillar holder who captured you? Isn't he strong enough for you to follow?", asked Vann.

"I don't know of any other existence, whereas the reason I rejected the pillar holder who captured me was my master who used to be a human. Besides, the sect that my master created was destroyed due to the monster attack, how could I who was now following the monster?", said Vermilion Bird shaking his head "Son, thank you for accompanying me here, Vermilion Bird said, but I suggest you leave immediately. This Magma Pillar Holder is a subordinate of the 9 main pillar holders who sealed me, he often came here to check whether I gave up or not. With your strength, you're not his opponent at all".

"Are you really not able to get out of here? If I can help, I will definitely help" Vann said firmly, however the Vermilion Bird in front of him is a power that supports humans.

"As long as you are able to untie the chains on my body, I can be free" said Vermilion Bird "The problem with your strength-Wait son! Are you crazy? Don't touch the black chain on my body!".

But before the Vermilion Bird finished giving its warning, Vann had slashed the black chain that held the body of the Vermilion Bird.
