[Bonus chapter] The Phoenix Army

"What.. is this place?"

"Look at the sky!" 

"The dungeon must be close!"

The feathered warriors of the army of immortal flame stared up in wonder at scenery the likes of which they had never seen. 

A gorgeous sky that was a myriad of colors with a humongous and strange tree towering over a city in the distance. 

The leader of the army was a powerful second stage evolved by the name of Aerin.

Aerin was a woman of average height with a thin frame. Her body was decorated with vibrant red feathers that perfectly matched the long flowing hair coming from her head. 

Her vibrant green eyes were trained on the city ahead, mixed with equal parts suspicion and curiosity. 

Reaching out with her senses, she immediately became alert when she sensed thousands of demonic auras.
