The Winged Beast before them, corrupted by the Black Tide, was Sorabis, the mount of Seneos, the ancestor of Feng Jin.
In legend, it bore the title Wings of the Blazing Sun.
In other words, it could breathe fire.
"I'm going to heal it now." Yan Huan bent down and picked up a pebble from the ground.
Half a breath later.
"Healing complete."
Sorabis's Black Tide-corrupted corpse lay shattered into four pieces before Feng Jin.
Like Lunae Piss the Pegasus, its soul turned translucent and quietly stared at its own corpse.
Sorabis: "..."
"Sorabis." Lunae Piss the Pegasus asked:
"You've finally awakened... Are you all right?"
"Not particularly." Sorabis tilted its head toward the human man beside it.
"Is this what you call healing? Killing me, human?"
"Just tell me whether you've regained your senses." Yan Huan spread his hands.
"Besides, how was I supposed to know whether this was some trap you two had set?"
"Seneos's pet from a thousand years ago—who knows who you're serving now."
"That's fair..." Sorabis was somewhat speechless.
"My consciousness had been lost for far too long. At last, the Black Tide's cage has been opened."
It looked at the worried Feng Jin and asked:
"Seneos's descendant—is that you, little girl?"
"Yes, that's me." Feng Jin nodded excitedly.
"Lord Sorabis, my name is Jasynthis. My companions all call me Feng Jin."
Having regained its senses, Sorabis spoke bluntly:
"Jasynthis, you do not carry her aura."
In other words, Feng Jin was not Seneos's descendant.
After thinking for a moment, Feng Jin explained:
"A thousand years have passed. The bloodline of the hero Seneos has likely become exceedingly diluted."
"Yet the Sky Clan's resolve has never been scattered by time. I came here to fulfill her final wish."
Sorabis fell silent for a moment before
