Her body was decorated with vibrant red feathers that perfectly matched the long flowing hair coming from her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her vibrant green eyes were trained on the city ahead, mixed with equal parts suspicion and curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching out with her senses, she immediately became alert when she sensed thousands of demonic auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Damn it! I thought we would have made it here first even if we didn't fly but it looks like we weren't fast enough after all!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious to her that the demons had arrived first, killed everyone in the city and now were in the process of obtaining the legendary item if they hadn't already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was another problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first observation, she could sense over two thousand first stage evolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their army only had ten!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things certainly looked dire, however a speciality of the phoenix race was that they needn't fear death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General, are we moving forward?\" A nearby soldier suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aerin prepared to answer when her eyes suddenly widened. \"Heh, seems like they're coming to us instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"RRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The war cry of thousands of demons together was enough to put the army on high alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enemy approaching! Get ready!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors under Aerin's command immediately drew their weapons and watched in horror as a swarm of demons took to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, their nightmare was only just beginning as the gates to the city soon opened and another massive army walked out led by four women and... a little girl?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't let them get above us!\" Aerin ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phoenix army obeyed and they immediately took to the skies, meeting the army of demon's in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were slightly taken aback by the appearance of these ravenous looking demons that they'd never seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bekka was not fond of exchanging pleasantries so she gave the demon's under her command a simple order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wipe them out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those behind her rushed forward and Bekka's body began to show some strange yet familiar changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tattoos on her face glowed brightly before her skin became darker, her muscles broader and her black sclera returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uwah?\" Mira who was directly next to her was very confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm curious too but stay focused, Mira.\" Lisa said as she called for her trident and unfurled her wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mira nodded and did the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was only allowed to participate in this battle on the condition that she obey every single one of her mothers' commands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the moment, the group were watching the first collision between their army and the enemy's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The results were... pathetically one sided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic army were annihilating the phoenixes left and right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wings were being ripped off, heads were flying and blood was falling from the sky like rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been no more than a few moments since the battle had started, yet almost 80% of the phoenix army had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rabisu generals along with Malenia had racked up a rather impressive kill count themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each attack the four of them were taking out at least twenty of the winged invaders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mira pouted and her wings had begun to droop a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, she wasn't going to get to do anything cool!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Patience, daughter...\" Bekka said calmly, a humorous light in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fun has yet to begin~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mira didn't know what her mother was talking about but she still found her to be incredibly cool at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, her curiosity was about to be sated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FWUSHHHHH!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night sky suddenly lit up all over with columns of fire exploding from the bodies of the deceased phoenixes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mira watched in equal parts fascination and excitement as giant red birds alight in flames filled the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Growl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked towards Lailah who had an embarrassed expression as she clutched her growling stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-They look like giant chickens a-and I was feeling a bit...\" Her voice gradually trailed off as she stared at the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone merely smirked before the battle literally began to heat up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A speciality of the phoenix race is their ability to arise from death in their true form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their stats take a major boost, and their flames become capable of turning an enemy a stage above them into ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle that had been so one sided before, was already becoming increasingly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the sex demons were faring a bit better, some of the rabisu were showcasing their weakness to strong flame as they were mercilessly cooked alive before falling to the ground dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bekka grinned madly, showing off her sharp white fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not been able to take her eyes off of Aerin who was clearly the most powerful and was harder to bing down than the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only through the combined efforts of Absalom and Hakon that she was beheaded in the first battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now she was a giant and gorgeous phoenix of around forty meters tall and her flames seemed to cook the very air around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope you girls are ready.\" Bekka said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lailah and Valerie, provide long range support.\" She ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women nodded and wasted no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie ran forward wearing bright bronze armor with a simple black breastplate, she looked like a war goddess descended upon land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought she would feel nervous for her first battle, but instead she was determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike some of the other members of her family who had a true lust for battle, Valerie had only the desire to protect her family and the happiness they shared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How dare these chickens try to steal my husband's gift!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie's weapon of choice was a giant war hammer, much like the one Bekka used to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spinning it around with ease and precision, Valerie then gripped it with both hands and brought it over her head before slamming it down into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"HA!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie shattered the earth around her, sending chunks of earth into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie's eyes suddenly glowed completely orange and all of the fragments she'd flung up began to float in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evolution had brought a drastic improvement in her control over the earth element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would never have been able to execute this move before but with her new precision and a bit of inspiration from her husband, she was now more than confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly the shards of earth began to rotate like miniature drills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They compacted, becoming thinner and longer while also forming a sharp spearhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie draped her hammer over her shoulders and snapped her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Down you go~'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spears of earth launched into the sky like living missiles, fast enough to break the sound barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phoenixes in the sky could barely register what happened before a giant hole was formed into their chests, wings and heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least thirty fell out of the sky, their flames sputtering out signaling they would never soar again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A phoenix can only utilize it's rebirth ability once every seven days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they die again within that timeframe they will never get up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie watched the overgrown birds fall to the ground with a satisfied smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Damn I'm good!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SCREEEEEEEE!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multiple birds wailed at the loss of their comrades and dive-bombed the one responsible, intending to roast her alive to avenge their fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie was suddenly swelling with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a blacksmith, born and raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would she be afraid of a little fire?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Valerie had already gotten started, Lailah felt as though she shouldn't lag behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mark on her forehead suddenly began to glow as she called for her 'adorable' son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apophis~ Let's show our family what we learned, hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----------------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huge
