Chapter 175: Dark Phoenix



Givens listened quietly to Mira's narration, and on the other side of the room, Adella and Prince Zoenmi were listening carefully to the tragic story.

"I thought Professor Jaime would help me get into the Royal Call Academy, but as a result, I was pushed to a point of no return......"

Mira's account begins on her first day in the royal capital, when she was a student from the north and knocked on Professor Jaime's door with a letter of recommendation from her teacher. She missed the entrance exam, but she still wanted to get one, even if it was an audit.

Professor Jaime, upon learning that she was alone and unaffiliated, acceded to Mira's request, but asked her to be his assistant for a while and assist him in completing a series of experiments. In return, of course, Professor Jaime promised to teach Mira some spellcasting methods that could only be learned in the Academy.

In order to gain more power, and out of trust in the professor, Mira agreed. But after completing the series of experiments, Mira found that the professor had stopped talking about admission.

Mira questioned the professor, only to receive an even more terrifying answer. The professor had modified her body in forbidden ways, and it was impossible for her to go to school again, or even for anyone else to notice the changes in her body, because then the King's Sword or the Magistrate would surely destroy her.

"You're already strong, and you can be even stronger, what more could you want?" replied Professor Jaime.

Mira gave in, and then she was out of control. Her body was constantly being remodeled and getting stronger, but so was the pain that came with it. Her dependence on teaching medication has also become increasingly severe. Eventually, she collapsed and became a soulless walking corpse in the lab, at the mercy of the professor.

But that all changed one day, when the professor gave Mira a shapeshifting monster to study a strange summoned creature, and concluded a blood pact. Of course, the purpose of all this is just to study how to replicate the transformation ability of the summoned beast on the elves.

Mira was tied up in a slaughterhouse-like laboratory along with her new summoned beast. With her eyes closed, she allowed the professor's surgical tools to penetrate her body and transplant the new glands into it. But at this moment, a voice suddenly flashed in her mind.

"Do you hurt?, Mira. Please bear with me a little longer, I will definitely kill this demon and set you free!"

She snapped open her eyes, and found her bronze-skinned summoned beast looking at herself across the space of the two operating tables, a look of concern and pity in her eyes.

Mira's soul came back to life at that moment, and she began to hold on, waiting for a chance to be free. And the summoned beast named Hel has become the only person she can communicate with openly.

But that didn't last long, and after mastering the art of transforming the body to obtain Transfiguration, the Professor was ready to take the summoned beast back into his own possession, and Professor Jaime was ready to abandon Mira and destroy her. Her body had been modified so badly that there was no value in continuing the experiment.

At that critical moment, Mira's summoned beast finally made good on his promise, and he cleverly created an opportunity for Mira to escape.

The professor tries to get Mira back, but he doesn't expect Mira to be seriously injured after the transformation rage. In the end, the professor's body lost control and then embarked on a fateful demise.

After listening to Mira's statement, Djoenmi whispered a detail that she was most interested in.

"Mira, do you know that Professor Jaime has been assisted in his research?"

Hearing this, Mira nodded.

"There are two mysterious elves who have been helping, but the professor keeps calling them demonic ....... ”

"Okay, I got it. That's all for today, you hurry up and rest. It's safe here, and my people will watch over you. ”

Djounmi wanted to continue, but when she saw Mira's brow furrowing slightly, she changed her attention. The pain in the child's body has not yet been alleviated, and she is in dire need of recuperation.

Still weak, Mira nodded gratefully and lay down again. Seeing this, Givens and Adelia exited the room with the so-called "two-faced man".

After exiting Mira's room, neither Gilvin nor Adelia spoke, and they were deep in thought. While Adelia is shocked by Mira's tragic fate, Gilvin ponders a doubt in the story, why doesn't she summon him if Mira can summon him?

Just as the two of them were thinking, they were awakened by Zhuo Enmi's words.

"Children of the Silver Moon, it seems that the purpose of the demons is far from being as simple as it seems, and the Summoning Academy is not as safe as we thought. ”

Djoenmi would never believe that those demons would help Professor Jaime with good intentions, and those demons must have some ulterior motives after reaching into the Royal Summoning Academy. This has been happening for a long time, and it may have had nothing to do with Adelia at first. But if the demon knew that the Son of the Silver Moon had studied at the Royal Summoning Academy, it would have been different.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Enmi recounted, "Son of the Silver Moon, in order to ensure your safety, I have to teach you one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Adella, confused.

"About your summoned beast. Please come with me, it's more convenient to talk in the backyard. With that, Zoenmi walked to the backyard. Givens and Adella looked at each other suspiciously, then followed.

The backyard of this building, which has been abandoned for a long time, only some ruins and broken wood, does not look like a good place to study. So Adelia asked, "Excuse me, is there anything wrong with my summoned beast?"

Djoenmi turned around and asked, "Your summoned beast is a spirit, right?"

"Yes. ”

"But it's not as powerful as a real spirit summoning beast. ”

"Because he's not a summoned beast above the eighth order......" Adelia looked at Jiwen before replying, because this answer seemed to damage Jiwen's self-esteem a bit. But Djonnmi doesn't seem to accept this explanation at all.

"You're wrong, those spirit summoned beasts don't have spirit bodies because they are high-level, but because they have spirit bodies, they can be promoted to the eighth rank or above! Your summoned beasts can't exert the power of spirit bodies at all now. ”

"Can spirits still be used?" this time it was Jiwen who rushed to ask, he was very interested in the mention of this mysterious Silver Moon Guard, because it meant that he still had a huge room for improvement.

"Of course you can!"

As soon as Dronmi answered, he whispered a summoning incantation. A moment later, a phoenix formed by black flames appeared in the courtyard, its black body constantly surging and burning, but the dead branches around its body did not seem to be attacked by the flames, and were still unharmed.

Of course, the most peculiar thing about this phoenix is its body, it is between the broken walls, but it does not seem to be separated by the walls.

This phoenix is also a spirit body!

Given's eyes were on this strange summoned beast, because it was the first spirit creature he had encountered since he came to this world, besides himself.
