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.
