The gamers and the townsfolk watched intensely, while Patrick Star recorded the entire event. Cherry convulsed for tens of minutes, his face looking as though he was thoroughly drained.
But the statue of Phoenix didn't have any reaction.
"How can this be… Perhaps, it's not me…"
The dispirited Cherry lowered his head, becoming very doubtful.
"Detective Cherry! Take a look!"
The Station Inspector behind him shouted excitedly and pointed at the statue.
Cherry lifted his head and saw crimson Mana Runes appearing from the bottom of the statue, which stood tens of meters tall. The entire lava cave was quaking violently.
"It's me! Only I can awaken the Phoenix! I might be blood-related to Michelangelo!"
Cherry was joyful and in disbelief. He looked at the residents of Small Distant Town and wanted to share his joy. What if he was able to find the other 72 Devils and make them work for him?
