When Sui Xiong was laughing proudly, Felix was laughing, too.

However, she was more reserved than the big jellyfish. Her smile was very gentle and elegant, full of the elegance that a lady would have.

The premise was to ignore the giant demon ape which was lying on the ground. She was stepping on its back. Its body was still smoky, and no one knew how badly it was burned.

Not too far away, several big men from Rye Town and Gold-panning Town were looking at that scene, totally stunned. They couldn't believe their eyes.

“How… how could that happen?!” This was said by the people who were unwilling to face reality.

“That is a water monkey! A legendary monster! It defeated nearly 100 invincible strongmen continuously in the arena! How could it be defeated so easily!” This was said by the people who had been confident.

“Stand up! Smart Monkey! Don't you claim to be undefeated?” This was said by the people who knew the strength of that demon beast.

“It's over. We're over. Completely over.” This was said by the people who lost hope.

However, no matter what they were thinking, although they were mourning, roaring, and desperately groaning, in general, everything was meaningless.

That demon beast was their last hope. It was a horrible demon beast that they got with the price of a lot of fortune and some luck. It could destroy a town alone, and it was said that it had defeated a legendary strongman. Now it was unconscious and lying on the ground. It seemed to have lost its fighting capacity completely.

What was lying on the ground with it was their power and status.

“What a great after-dinner activity!” Felix said. She stretched her arms and legs and then took out a few pieces of equipment with magic ice crystals on them from her space pocket. She wore them, and suddenly, heavy white steam lifted from her body. After the steam disappeared, her hair and skin changed from bright flame-red back to a normal color.

Then, she took out an ordinary mage robe and wore it. The beautiful, steady, and wise Felix, the town mayor, the principal of the Isuka School of Magic, reappeared in front of everyone.

However, everyone present at the scene had witnessed her rushing at the speed of a storm. She had fought with the huge monster that could transform moisture into bombs. Finally, Felix's whole body had completely turned into a bright red color as if she had been a firebird circling and roaring in the air. The light bombs had rained down, and the hill-like demon beast had eventually been defeated.

After witnessing that scene, in their hearts, Felix was no longer a human. She was an extraordinary monster.

Such a powerful person… No, it was not suitable to call her a “person.” Such a powerful existence definitely couldn't be defeated by mortals!

In the face of her, mortals were only ants who had demands!

When Felix looked at them with a calm and smiling look, they unconsciously shivered, realizing the desperate gap between them from the bottom of their hearts.

The sky was so remote. Even if they climbed the highest mountain, they couldn't reach it. It was the same with their gap, which couldn't ever be made up.

They were fundamentally different from her.

She was able to follow in the footsteps of the great god. She could appear in a great career that would be passed down or cursed by later generations. She could become a chapter of the legends.

And they were nothing more than a number that might be mentioned in a certain story.

After figuring out that point, the big men of the four towns, who had been high above the ordinary civilians, could no longer maintain the hardness of their knees. They knelt.

When their knees touched the hard ground, it seemed that something was broken in their hearts.

What was broken was their arrogance and power and pride.

From this moment on, they were no longer the rulers of the Four Towns in the Northwest. They were just the ordinary bureaucrats of the Republic of Northwest.

Unless some unexpected accidents happened, they would never get rid of the shock that Felix gave them. They would live in her shadow for the rest of their lives, and they would not be able to own any courage to fight against her until death.

Of course, Felix didn't know what they were thinking. However, with her sharp sense of perception and her past experience, she knew exactly what was happening to those people.

They were defeated by the pressure of the Phoenix.

Felix was a strong person with the blood of the Phoenix, a legendary creature. When she untied her bounds and fought at her strongest, her body would send out a terribly high temperature and powerful pressure waves.

The Phoenix was not a fake legendary demon beast like that Water Ape that needed training to enter the Legendary Realm. A Phoenix was a horrible demon beast located at the top of all demon beasts, close to the gods. An adult Phoenix was powerful enough to fight with some less powerful gods. Of the generally known demon beasts, only certain superior dragons could have such power.

It was said that the God of Fire Element, one of the strongest warriors under the present Sun God, was a Phoenix. And the force of that Phoenix was powerful enough to defeat at least half of the gods in the Pantheon temple.

The blood of such a powerful creature would naturally help her reveal the pressure of the superior. Although the current power of Felix was still very weak for adult Phoenixes, at least it would not be worse than the young Phoenixes. In other words, when she untied her bounds and exerted her blood power to the extreme, she was a Phoenix. She was just a little young and not so strong. However, she had the power that a Phoenix should have and the pressure of the superior creatures.

If she was faced with a relatively powerful creature, for example, the demon beast that she had fought with, she would have to completely release her power, with the danger of overheating, to defeat it. Then, her pressure would not be effective at all. For that beast, if it encountered that kind of pressure in the future again, the pressure would just remind it that it had failed. It would feel ashamed instead of feeling scared.

However, for those ordinary mortals who hadn't reached the level of mid-level adventurers, the pressure of the superior creatures was like red iron—it deeply burned fear and obedience in their souls.

In the past years, Felix had seen such circumstances for more than once.

She used to hate those circumstances because it made her feel that she was a monster. But now she didn't have that feeling anymore. She was not a simple girl who only grew old instead of growing mature. After years of work as the mayor of Pyroxene Town, she matured a lot, and her angle and depth of viewing things were also different.

Now, she was no longer afraid and wary of her own blood. If she failed to enter the Legendary Realm, she would not be desperate as if it was the end of the world. She would try to adjust her soul and try to live as a newborn Phoenix.

In fact, that was not bad. Fanvier also lived a happy life.

However, accepting the identity of a Phoenix didn't mean that she was willing to become a bird directly. Unless she had no choice, she would work hard to maintain her human identity. After all, becoming a Magic Bomber was the direction she chose. If she became a Phoenix, she would lose that direction and become an Ancient Wizard.

If she was willing to choose the direction of an Ancient Wizard, she wouldn't have worked hard to change her direction that year.

She wanted to gallop at full speed in the sky or on the earth! She wanted to shoot light bombs from the sky and exert a mighty force. That was the road she longed for and pursued!

And that wonderful power which came from her blood was very useful at certain times.

For example, just now.

Looking at the guys who were terrorized by her, she smiled with satisfaction.

“I remember that we had a deal before. You should have improved the living standards of the people under your rules in exchange for the profitable technology of Pyroxene Town. However, you failed. No, this is not a question of 'fail' or 'succeed.' You didn't mean to keep your words, right?”

The people who were kneeling on the ground trembled and dared not to answer.

“It seems that you agree with my words. Let me continue. I am an advanced mage. As you have seen, in fact, I am not far from entering the Legendary Realm. Therefore, how dare you play tricks in front of me, such a strong person? Do you really think that your power and status are useful in front of me, powerful enough to force me to suppress my anger?”

Those people who were kneeling on the ground trembled even more.

“So, when I found out that you didn't keep your promise, I was really surprised! Really. In addition to my surprise, I couldn't help but wonder sincerely what 'cards' you had up your sleeves. I am a person who likes to put my ideas into practice, so I made an appointment with you and said that I wanted to talk about it in detail. I chose a remote place on purpose, a place where I wouldn't affect others no matter how I fought. My intuition and my experience told me that there might be a big fight.

“And it turns out that I was right. The reason why you dared to ignore the original deal with me is that you found a helper,” she said. Then she stepped hard on the demon beast which was still smoking. “To be honest, this guy's strength is really good. I don't believe that with your abilities, you could find such a powerful helper. So, as the price for forgiving you, tell me honestly. How did you find this helper!”

The previous big men of the Four Towns in the Northwest were kneeling on the ground, trembling. They were trembling so hard that they couldn't make comprehensible sounds, and then they tried hard to explain how they found that helper.

In fact, it was very simple. Some strong person who didn't want to reveal his identity had found them and had lent that horrible demon beast to them.

That was all they knew. They dared not test the strongman or spy on him. Therefore, they couldn't give Felix more information.

Felix didn't really expect them to be able to tell her any valuable information. After asking them one by one, she asked them to go back and prepare for the merging of the four towns.

She didn't want to scare those people anymore because there was no need for that.

When those people were gone, she took away her foot which was stepping on the demon beast. Then, she stepped away.

“Don't play dead! I know that you didn't do your best,” she said, smiling. “Get up. I think that you must have something to tell me.”
