?2023 Feathers

Its feathers didn't seem as metallic or glistening, but this was only because its body seemed to shift from solid to a fiery flicker on a whim. It was almost impossible to tell whether this was truly a living creature... or a sea of flames...

It had a beautiful body of blue, its oppressive cold counterbalancing the Golden Crow. Its long, slender neck stretched into the skies, making it the most reserved of the beasts.

This creature was none other than the long since thought to be existent Phoenix!

"Why are you looking at me? You annoying mut. See if I don't lop one of your heads off." The cyclops growled.

"Do you think a Clan like the Centaurs can just disappear on a whim? Obviously one of you made a move."

"Who care about a damned centaur clan? What do they have that my Cyclops Race could possibly need? If you're going to speak, use one of your more intelligent heads before I leave you with no choice but to!"

"Stop bickering." The Medusa stopped them coldly. "None of us are foolish enough to destroy perfectly good canon fodder when the second phase is so quickly approaching. Obviously, this was the work of someone else."

"Could it be those fake angels?" The Minotaur pondered.

"It's just speculation. I have no way of knowing for sure. Plus, it isn't as though the elves are to be feared any longer. Since the dwarves are here, their ending couldn't have been very good either."

"Underestimating the elves is foolish." A voice as cold as an endless winter froze the words of everyone who spoke. Many of them couldn't help but shiver as they looked toward the majestic Ice Phoenix.

This race hardly ever talked... In fact, though they sent a representative to every meeting... They always sent someone who was hardly worthy of being an elder of their Clan... Yet, even then, the atmosphere was so stifling.

"The elves have many secrets, especially in combination with the Celestial Deer Sect. Amethyst is only one reason our race has fallen to this state, the other is them!" The Ice Phoenix spoke emotionlessly, but it was obvious that the Undead female's words had enraged him.

"For this problem, it's best if they're wiped out as soon as possible. I expect there to be no dwarves remaining in this prison by the end of the month."

With a single flap of his wings, the Ice Phoenix vanished from its mountain peak and the horizon.

...

Dyon blankly stared out into space. It had already been several days, but he had yet to move from this pile of corpses.

The smell in the air was unlike one might think. The body of cultivators, especially body cultivators, didn't rot so easily. Instead, the metallic smell of blood was what hung in the air, constantly grating on one's olfactory senses as though to eradicate all other scents.

At that moment, the sound of a person sucking in a cold breath broke the quiet atmosphere. Dyon didn't need to look up to know that the green-haired elder had arrived.

Lord Clerebold looked at the scene with a trembling heart. Those four corpses at the top of the mountain of dead Dyon sat on... Those were four men and women he would lower his head respectfully to. They could take his life with a single finger, yet Dyon was sitting on their dead bodies as though they weren't worth much of anything.

'This is bad... I expected him to cause some trouble, maybe kill off their younger generation completely and ruin their future, but I never thought he would be able to kill of their Higher Existences as well. The only one who doesn't seem to be here is their Overlord... Those Clans won't let this go...'
