"Foolish being," the Flame Father sneered.
"Trying to use a being born of flame to heal yourself? Just how much do you look down on me?"
"Urgh!" Chen Mo coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The Flame Father had reversed the healing process of the phoenix core, turning it against Chen Mo and causing even more internal harm.
Chen Mo groaned in agony, his hand reaching shakily for his sword.
The phoenix core was now doing more damage than good, tearing at his body from within.
To deal with the situation, he decided to simply get rid of the core completely.
"That will be a foolish move," Seth appeared suddenly in front of him, placing a hand on Chen Mo's shoulder to stop him.
"The moment you do that, you will destroy your foundation and cause even more harm to yourself."
"Hey! Do not interfere with my prey!" the Flame Father roared, clearly annoyed by Seth's interference.
"Shut up for a minute," Seth muttered dismissively.
