Phoenix Queen Ignara's pupils snapped tight.
Even she clearly hadn't expected him to suppress her Eternal Flame that easily.
But she didn't back off.
The next second—
The power inside her surged again.
Rumble—!
An ocean of Eternal Flame erupted from her body.
This time, what appeared in the sky wasn't a phantom phoenix.
It was something bigger. Stranger. A towering, ominous outline made of fire.
That silhouette was pure Eternal Flame—utterly clean, not a trace of impurity.
The instant it formed, the surrounding space began collapsing in wide swaths. The heat was so insane it scorched parts of the void itself into hollowed-out cavities.
Behind Phoenix Queen Ignara, the sky completely transformed into a world of flame.
When the golden man saw it, his expression finally shifted.
He obviously hadn't expected her to release Eternal Flame this pure.
He raised his palm at once.
Massive amounts of energy rushed into his hand.
Boom!
The heavens shook.
