The dragon was the only beast who was unaffected, and not because it was only a soul. It was because dragons and phoenixes were on the same level. It glanced at the Crown Prince, who was looking at the phoenixes, and using its power, it put a barrier around the Crown Prince.
"Huh?" Crown Prince Renaud looked down at his hand, and he could see the ripple of a translucent barrier. He then looked at the dragon and said, "This?"
"That kid is indeed a unique one… To be able to use a power of a phoenix, and one with such a strong aura to boot… He's either a direct descendent of a powerful phoenix, or the demon within him is a phoenix itself… Given the impure color of the phoenixes… Perhaps a demonic phoenix," the dragon said to Renaud solemnly.
The dragon had seen a few phoenixes in its long lifetime, but the last time he saw one was more than hundred thousand years ago, and that was a phoenix from a different dimension.
