At the sound of the voice, Yian instinctively looked up.
A massive phoenix soared across the sky, its crimson wings blotting out the sunlight. Perched upon its back was a breathtakingly beautiful young woman.
Behind her flew an entire formation of phoenixes, golden dragons, and black eagles.
A large group of land-dwelling beastmen raced across the ground below, keeping pace with the aerial force overhead.
The eagle warriors had been brought by Lanhong and his companions.
Yian's eyes widened in disbelief.
Nina. She had actually come back.
A complicated emotion stirred within him as he stared at her.
Had she truly returned to save that foolish brat?
Had she never intended to abandon Setan at all?
Until now, Yian had assumed Setan's constant defense of her was nothing more than blind devotion. He had believed the young man was desperately trying to protect a female who wasn't worth the sacrifice.
Only now did he realize he had been wrong.
