As Marcus scrolled through the forums, he found that the blurry images of the Divine Beast Phoenix had already set players everywhere buzzing with excitement. The same thought seemed to be spreading across the game almost overnight: work harder, fight harder, and maybe one day a Phoenix could be theirs. Owning a Divine Beast had suddenly become one of the biggest goals players could imagine.
Meanwhile, Marcus was steadily closing the distance between himself and the two princesses riding the Immortal Phoenix.
Blackie was a Divine Beast as well, and unlike many powerful beasts, he was a mount built for speed. With Marcus's absurdly high Agility boosting his performance even further, the Nightmare Dragon Steed could move through the sky at a frightening pace.
