Chapter 684: FOOLISH CHILDREN

"Welcome… to The Great Escape!" The announcer shouted. 

The man making the announcement looked like a phoenix that had achieved a human form after nirvana. The red hair on the head coupled with the costume makeup on his angular face made him look a bit like a beautiful bird. 

Well, he also had a peacock-like pair of wings on his back.

"Get ready… for a competition that will burn your hearts and chill your bones." He said with outstretched arms. 

The declaration caused the crowd to scream at a beloved familiar face. "Firebird! Firebird! Firebird!"
