My Angelic System

Chapter 165 A New Bound

?

A lot of voices started to echo through the place while Kye continued looking in awe. And suddenly, 6 rather small Phoenixes in terms of size launched at him. However, there wasn't any ill intention in their moves, so Kye let them be while he was still observing the surroundings.

"Thank you, sir. We would have died without you."

"I'm forever grateful, sir!"

"*Cries*"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"How can I repay you, sir?"

"*Cries*"

Kye was taken aback by the sudden transformation of the small Phoenixes into human forms. They clung to him with a mix of relief and gratitude, their voices a cacophony of emotions. Four boys and two girls surrounded him, overwhelming him with their expressions of thanks.

Tears flowed freely from some of their eyes, and Kye found himself in a heartwarming but slightly chaotic situation. He tried to maintain his balance as their enthusiastic hugs threatened to push him to the ground.

"There's no need to thank me like this, really." Kye managed to say with a warm smile, his own eyes glistening with a mixture of emotions. "I couldn't leave you in danger when you guys are my friend's people. We're all in this together." A beautiful smile appeared on his face, mesmerizing everyone for a moment.

The six Phoenixes gradually composed themselves, wiping away their tears and trying to regain their composure. They exchanged glances, their gratitude evident in their eyes.

One of the boys spoke up, his voice filled with sincerity. "Sir, you've shown us incredible kindness. We are in your debt. If there's ever anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask."

Kye's heart swelled with warmth as he looked at each of them with a smile, their earnest expressions touching him deeply. "Thank you all, but there's no need for you to repay me. Your friendship is more than enough."

Rae, who had been observing the touching scene, chimed in. "Kye is a true friend of our king. He's journeyed far to ensure your safety. It's a testament to the bond that's forming between our people."

'Well in the end the system helped me make my decision, but well, they don't need to know that, do they?' Kye thought to himself, a smile still plastered on his face. "Don't worry guys. I just did what needed to be done."

While they were discussing happily, the other Phoenixes slowly started joining them. They were reluctant at first as it had been a long time since they had seen a 'human', but after seeing Kye's kindness, they slowly opened up to him.

While they were discussing happily, the other Phoenixes slowly started joining them. They were reluctant at first as it had been a long time since they had seen a 'human', but after seeing Kye's kindness, they slowly opened up to him.

Kye found himself surrounded by a growing group of Phoenixes, all eager to express their gratitude and curiosity. They asked him about his world, his journey, and his connection with their king, Ras.

As Kye shared stories of his adventures and the friendship he had forged with Ras, the Phoenixes listened with rapt attention. It seemed that the bond between him and Ras had become a source of hope and inspiration for their people, and they were eager to learn more about the world beyond their fiery sanctuary.

Rae, who had been observing the interactions, felt a sense of pride in her chest. She had brought Kye here, and now he was forging connections with her kin, strengthening the ties between their two worlds.

As the day continued, Kye and the Phoenixes talked and laughed together. Kye learned about their culture, their history, and their way of life. He was fascinated by their close connection to the elements and their deep respect for the natural world.

As the sun began to set, casting a warm, reddish glow across the volcanic landscape, Kye couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging. It was as if he had found another family, another group of friends who welcomed him with open arms.

Rae approached him, her fiery plumage shimmering in the fading light. "Kye, it's getting late. We should find a place for you to rest. You must be tired from your journey."

Kye nodded, realizing that the day had indeed been long and eventful. "Thank you, Rae. I appreciate everything you've done for me."

Rae smiled warmly. "It's my pleasure, Kye. You're not just a friend of Ras; you're a friend of our people now. Come, I'll show you where you can rest."

As Ras hadn't returned from his tasks the next day, Kye decided to ask a few Phoenix for their help.

It wasn't to search for his friends as he doubted that they would have the answer. He even doubted Ras would have an answer. But he needed help with something else.

Indeed by awakening Ras' friend seal, he was able to control fire. But the problem was that he didn't have any prior knowledge about fire nor how it was supposed to be used. It was a little like his cosmic ability. There was no record of it, so he was completely lost.

And he couldn't stay here without doing anything either. He knew that many threats were waiting for him, and he would only be a fool if he didn't try to get stronger with every opportunities he had.

The younger Phoenixes eagerly agreed to assist, but the elders still showed some reluctance.

Kye gathered with the group of young Phoenixes, who were full of curiosity and enthusiasm. Their fiery plumage shimmered in the daylight, giving them an otherworldly and radiant appearance.

One of the young Phoenixes, a girl with vibrant red feathers, stepped forward. "Kye, we're eager to help you learn the ways of fire. It's a fundamental element for our kind, and we can share our knowledge with you."

Kye appreciated their willingness to assist him. "Thank you all. I'm grateful for your help. I want to understand fire, to control it, and to use it responsibly."
