The divine phoenix behind the Priestess suddenly released a terrified cry that echoed throughout the sacred hall. Its enormous flaming body trembled violently in the air as though it had encountered a natural enemy far beyond its understanding. The brilliant divine flames surrounding the phoenix flickered chaotically, losing the arrogant majesty they possessed only moments earlier.
At the same time, the Priestess felt a wave of cold fear explode through her heart. Her breathing became unstable, and even her soul felt as if it were sinking into an endless abyss. The reason for that fear was painfully clear to her.
Her phoenix martial spirit was afraid.
A primal terror had seized the divine creature itself.
