In a world divided into three regions, every child is born with a destined Beastborne—a mystical beast that merges with them at the age of nine. The strength of one’s Beastborne defines their future, granting unique abilities and transformations that shape their destiny.

Kairo Tenma, a young warrior gifted with the Phoenix Beastborne, embarks on his journey to unlock his true potential. Alongside his closest friend, Raizen, he trains to rise through the ranks of the strongest warriors. But fate takes a cruel turn when Raizen betrays him, revealing a shocking past that changes everything.

With revenge burning in his heart and a new ranking system reshaping the world, Kairo must grow stronger, uncover the truth behind his father’s legacy, and face formidable enemies—both human and Beastborne alike.

Epic battles, rivalries, and sacrifices await as Kairo and Raizen walk separate paths, destined to clash once more.

Will Kairo’s Phoenix rise from the ashes, or will Raizen’s thirst for vengeance consume the world?

Chapter 19 – Diverging Paths! A Mission of Fate!

Raizen's Triumph – The Dark Power Awakens!

The massive beast he had just fought lay motionless before him.

His breathing was heavy, but his grin was wide.

Lord Varun observed from above, arms crossed.

Raizen flexed his fingers, feeling the surge of power.

His Thunder Wolf form had evolved.

"I feel… stronger," he muttered.

"There is something I need you to retrieve."

"The Crimson Vein Fruit. It's located in a hidden village deep in the Shadewood Forest."

"This fruit grants enhanced recovery and power amplification."

Lord Varun gestured toward a figure in the shadows.

A tall, masked warrior stepped forward.

"This is your partner for this mission—Izan."

The masked warrior's voice was cold.

Kairo's Reunion – Bonds of Brotherhood!

In the deep training grounds, Kairo trained relentlessly.

His wings of fire flickered on and off.

"Still not enough…" he muttered.

Then—a familiar voice called out.

Two figures stood at the entrance of the training grounds.

Juno had sharp blue eyes and short brown hair.

Renjiro was taller, with a confident smirk and fiery red hair.

"We heard you were pushing yourself too hard."

"So we're here to make sure you don't burn out."

And with that, the three of them clashed, testing their strength.

The Emergency Mission – A Village Under Attack!

Hours later, a sudden alarm rang through the training grounds.

"Urgent mission! The Vermillion Village is under attack!"

"Unknown forces. We need immediate reinforcements!"

Juno exchanged a glance with Renjiro.

"This is serious," Renjiro muttered.

As they ran, Juno glanced at Kairo.

"This might be a good time to reveal our ranks."

"I achieved A-Rank. My White Serpent's abilities allow me to control water, create mist, and even paralyze opponents with my venom."

"I'm also A-Rank. My Shadow Panther gives me incredible speed, stealth, and shadow manipulation."

"My Phoenix grants me immense firepower, flight, and rebirth abilities."

"No wonder they made you the leader of this squad."

"Well then, let's see if that S-Rank power holds up in real battle."

As they rushed toward Vermillion Village, flames flickered in Kairo's eyes.
