"Hmm~ Where am I?"

A groggy Alan got up from the scorching ground, struck his aching head with his hand, and sat reclining. When I opened my hazy eyes, I had a brief memory loss in my mind.

The sea of fire in front of him, coupled with the traces of the battle, reminded him of what had just happened. Not long ago, he and Anne were battling a flaming phoenix to the death.

Not far from her body, Anne, who was worried about her heart, lay quietly on the ground. The ups and downs of his body let him know that Anne was still alive, and a nervous heart relaxed.

On a fiery red island nearly a kilometer away from Allen, a fiery phoenix slumped silently. The scars of the battle on his body were dripping with blood, and his tired eyes opened and closed, as if he was sleepwalking. I kept reading: Circle XX...

Alan stood up tremblingly, walked over to Anne and squatted down, hugged Anne in front of her chest, shook her body slowly, and called softly, "Sister Anne!

"Huh?" a soft 'um' came from Anne's nostrils, and a pair of curly eyelashes kept beating as she struggled to open her eyelids. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar face: "Brother Allen-woo~" said, wrapping his arms around Allen's neck and sobbing quietly.

"Don't cry, don't cry, we're not fine!" Alan whispered as he comforted the lovely person in his arms as he overflowed magical energy from his body to check and recuperate for Anne.

When Eren examined with magic inside, he blushed and was surprised. He found that Anne's body contained an incomparably huge amount of magical energy, and the muscles and bones that had just been damaged in the battle had been miraculously repaired during her coma. It's incredible!!Even Alan himself needs to use external magical energy to replenish his vitality.

Never mind.

Alan shook his head, no longer trying to figure out why. He touched Anne's face and said, "Little fool, don't cry!

'Poof-' Anne laughed at Alan's words, and her sad mood instantly recovered. Eyes full of admiration stared at Alan's face carefully, not wanting to break the comfort of this moment.

'Smack-'

"I can't get up yet, my arm hurts. Alan slapped Anne's ass and said in an affectionate tone.

Anne was so frightened by Allen's sudden movements that her face turned red and white, and she cried loudly: "Wow-Brother Allen, he bullied me~"

"I said, can you two stop there and ignore my noble existence. ”

A voice rang out from the fiery red cavern, and Alan and Anne quickly got up from the ground and took out their weapons of battle with both hands. Only then did it be discovered that the source of the sound was the flame phoenix after the injury.

"Tut-tut-don't be nervous, I've been injured like this by you, is it possible to pose a threat to you?" The Flame Phoenix flapped its injured wings, and said with its eyelids downcast: "I am from a higher plane, the noble Flame Phoenix Heller, a divine beast sent by the Supreme God to guard the low-level interface, in order to prevent chaos in this world. ”

Higher planes?

The Most High God??

Hearing two new words, Alan and Anne drew a series of question marks in their minds at the same time. Remembering their time in the Flame Adventures, Father Tobias kept saying: Forgiveness of the Gods, Salvation of the Gods, Gods...

I don't know what the connection is...

Or is there a god in this world?

"Haha, I'm stupid by my noble status! Heller, the Flame Phoenix, proudly raised his head and stared at the cave wall on stilts, meaning that he looked down on the humans in front of him.

"Hmph! What is the right to be proud in front of us. Anne snorted coldly, and pulled the flame phoenix Heller, who was still indulging in a noble aura, back to reality, and slowly lowered her proud head.

Alan didn't say anything, and came to the side of the flame phoenix Heller with Annie's delicate body, and asked in a calm tone: "Senior, I don't know if you can tell us, what are the higher planes and supreme gods you are talking about?"

"Hmph!" Flame Phoenix Heller proudly spewed out a breath of hot air from his nostrils, and said in a high tone, "You lowly human races are not worthy to know the affairs of the Supreme God. ”

Seeing the arrogant look of the Flame Phoenix, Eren no longer expected it to reveal any information. From the side, he asked, "Then I wonder if you can tell us why you can speak?"

This is also what Alan is very curious about. According to what he read in the 'Secret History of the Continent', the demonic beasts are divided into nine levels: first-grade earth beasts, second-grade heavenly beasts, third-grade spirit beasts, fourth-grade demonic beasts, fifth-grade immortal beasts, beast spirits, beast kings, beast venerables, and divine beasts. The Flame Phoenix Heller in front of him should belong to the highest-level divine beast, but he had never found anything in the books that the demonic beast could speak.

"Hahahaha..."When Eren asked this question, Heller the Flame Phoenix raised his head again and laughed, then looked down at Alan and Anne and said, "Humble humans, don't even know this. ”

It turned out that in the entire history of the development of the Phantom Spirit Realm, the number of appearances of divine beasts was very small. Except for the god-man war that took place on the Divine Netherworld Continent 10,000 years ago, there has never been a divine beast in the Phantom Realm.

The level of the Warcraft is constantly breaking through with the years and the acceptance of magic. When a demonic beast reaches the fifth rank of immortal beast, it can babble like a baby. From the Beast Venerable to the Divine Beast, it is not only as simple as the level breakthrough of the physical body, but also the presence of powerful energy.

"Circle a XX! My dignified and noble Flame Phoenix was defeated by the little Terran today, what a shame!" After explaining the matter of the Warcraft, Heller of the Flame Phoenix burst out again, and said unwillingly: "But why? It stands to reason that it shouldn't..."

Heller, the Flame Phoenix, stared at Alan and Anne suspiciously, and asked embarrassedly, "Y-What did you just use? Why is it so powerful? And you, human, why did you just look like a demon?"

"Me?" Allen's mouth was propped up into an 'O' shape, and his eyes looked at Heller the Flame Phoenix in confusion, and even Anne beside him nodded in agreement. There was no way to deny it, so I shook my head and said: "I don't know, I felt like I was being electrocuted all over my body, and then I didn't know what I was doing." ”

After hearing Allen's words, both Anne and Heller the Flame Phoenix lowered their heads.

"Okay, okay, no matter what, we beat you, didn't we?" Alan used his words to divert the thoughts of the two of them, and put the matter in his heart.

Flame Phoenix Heller lowered his head in frustration and said in a calm tone, "Then what do you want?"

Seeing the normally high flame phoenix descending, Alan felt that his goal had been achieved. Tell the point about what he wants: "We want to get out of this island. ”

"Hehe, I'm guessing that's what you're trying to do. Flame Phoenix Heller sighed and said, "Hey, I'm losing track of how many years have passed. There are countless people who have been here, and in the human world, they are still at the level of Dharma Saints. I did everything I could to get them to submit to me and stay and talk to me. As a result, they would rather die than give in, just because they wanted to leave the desert island. However, no one has ever left here..."

"Forget it, I'm not going to stir up trouble with you here. It's a magic portal, and when you get out of it, you can go back to the human world. Heller, the Flame Phoenix, flapped his wings, turned his head, and pointed to the magic portal behind him.

"Thank you, senior!" Alan bowed to Heller, the flaming phoenix, and took Annie's hand as he walked towards the magic portal.

As their bodies were about to reach the magic portal, Anne suddenly shook off Alan's hand and stopped.

"Sister Anne, what's wrong with you?" said Allen, pausing and looking back at Anne, who had her head down.

"Brother Allen, I don't know how to do it, I can't bear to leave Senior Heller here alone. I want to be with it. Anne's kind heart was revealed, and her eyes were full of love.

Suddenly, Anne turned around and trotted to the side of Heller, the flame phoenix, and said, "Grandpa Heller, I want to take you out, I don't know if you are willing?"

When Anne uttered such a bold idea, both Alan and Heller, the Flame Phoenix, were taken aback. I can't believe that she can make such a request, for the always arrogant Fire Phoenix...

Heller the Flame Phoenix hesitated for a moment, and tension filled the air. Alan came to Anne's side, always on guard.

"Hahahaha... I have lived for tens of thousands of years, and I have never seen such a kind doll as you, but even if I disobey the order of the Supreme God today, I must fulfill this sincere sincerity. ”

'Hum-'

There was a buzzing sound in the air, and I saw that the very tall flame phoenix condensed the surrounding fire magic energy, and its body gradually shrunk, shrunk, shrunk, and shrunk again, and finally shrunk to the state of a red* mi.

The little fire phoenix leaped into Anne's arms and rubbed her arms with its supple feathers. Suddenly, with sharp teeth, he bit Anne's thumb.

'Ahh

Anne screamed, and Allen, thinking something had happened, hurried up to check. Anne raised her hand to stop Alan's defenses, and the same thing happened again.

I saw the blood flowing from the bitten thumb suspended in mid-air, and a red line of magical energy extended from Anne's forehead. At the same time, a red line of magical energy also extended from the beast head of the Flame Phoenix Heller, and gathered together in the red blood droplets.

The Flame Phoenix's body gradually became smaller, and it was eventually attracted to the red blood droplets. There was a 'whoosh' and it sank into Anne's head. Alan knew that this was the ritual of making a soul contract.

"Master Anne!"

A voice rang in Anne's head, closing her eyes to check. The little fire phoenix sat in the depths of her mind and looked at Anne with a smile on her face.

Anne opened her eyes, looked at Alan with a smile on her face, and said sweetly, "Let's go!"

"Hmm. Seeing Anne's satisfied look, Alan was also very satisfied. Holding Anne's hand, the two walked into the magic portal together.

The end of this magical journey...

Leave this mysterious place...
