Let him be the clown in the circus

Suddenly, Lumiana noticed something and said, "It seems… we have a guest."

"Guest?" Lathel asked, tilting his head in confusion.

Lumiana didn't respond but simply pointed toward the distant horizon. Lathel followed her gaze and saw a blazing fireball hurtling toward them.

"What the hell?" Lathel was startled, instinctively thinking it was an enemy attack.

However, before he could react, the cry of a phoenix echoed across the sky.

KRIT!!!

A clear yet majestic sound resonated for hundreds of miles as a sea of flames engulfed the entire allied army of the gathered kingdoms below.

The soldiers didn't even have time to scream before they were completely swallowed by the inferno.

A fire phoenix, radiating an intense and blinding brilliance, was soaring straight toward Lathel.

Yet, instead of running, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity and chose to stay still.
