As soon as Anya revealed the hawk, all eyes turned toward it with a mixture of fascination and awe.
The flaming hawk was beautiful, graceful yet dangerous. Not only that, but the temperature of the room seemed to rise several degrees, causing big beads of sweat to slide down the faces of those present.
A few even wondered why the cage hadn't been incinerated. It was only after seeing the runic patterns embedded on the cage that they realized it wasn't ordinary. The obsidian bars were reinforced with intricate fire-resistant runes, glowing faintly as they absorbed the intense heat radiating from the hawk. These runes not only contained the creature's fierce flaming aura but also ensured that its power didn't lash out uncontrollably, potentially harming the audience.
Whispers immediately enveloped the hall.
"That aura… an Emperor-Tier elemental beast!" someone exclaimed, their eyes widening in disbelief, though their voice was filled with awe.
