''FU** YOU!''With a shout,Cord controlled the balls behind him.All balls flashed with deep blue light,then a terrifying boom echoed out.

*BOOOOOOOOM*

Tens of thunder bolts shot out of the balls,crackling and radiating an aura of destruction.Phoenix turned it's head towards the incoming bolts,but they were too fast for Phoenix to react.Thunder bolts slammed on it's body,storming around it's metal like feathers and sending energy waves.Phoenix let out a cry,losing it's balannce at the same time.The moment Phoenix lost it's balance,Leon leaped and slashed with his scythe,sending mists hurling towards Phoenix.

Gin's shadow appeared and directly catched the tail of Craz,taking him out of the Phoenix's range.Phoenix turned it's body,evading the fattal attack.Even so,Scythe sweeped the surface of Phoenix,cutting some of it's feathers.The moment a small wound appeared,mists gushed in like a flood and the wound's slowly turned green.

Phoenix was turning crazy from the pain of it's insides corroding.It took a huge breath and released all the mists with another cry.Phoenix turned it's icy gaze to Leon,who was retreating in high speeds.It dived with an utmost speed towards him,closing on immediately.But the moment it was going to attack,a huge blow landed to the side of it's head,sending Phoenix flying.Phoenix crashed to the ground and shook the surroundings.

Grim slowly shook his hand,complaining about Phoenix's feathers.They were quite durable,making his fist numb.Even so,Phoenix took quite a damage,evident from the small dent near it's beak.Phoenix was slowly losing it's temperament because of all these sudden attacks,delving into madness.Even so,Grim didn't have any time to observe them as another series of Pillars crushed on him.

But because of his attack on Phoenix,he lost the initiative.A pillar directly crashed to his back,sending him flying towards the air.Then another pillar crashed,sending to the opposite pillar.In several seconds,Grim took tens of hits from the pillars.But there were no wounds on his body.Of course,pillars didn't have any intelligence so they were not aware of it.With another smash,Grim was sent flying but this time,he didn't took the strike of Pillar.

He directly slashed with his sword and cut through the pillar.Before pillar could fall down,he stepped on it's remnant and leapt towards Phoenix,who was sending blizzards towards the Leon and Craz.Cord sent another series of thunderbolts,but Phoenix was prepared this time.With a flap of it's wings,a surge of air rose and several pillars appeared in front of it to block the attacks.

Thunderbolts destroyed the pillars but couldn't reach the Phoenix before dissipating.Phoenix looked at Cord,and opened it's beak.A freezing aura,much more stronger than anything they saw to this time,spread out of Phoenix's mouth.A ice piece was standing in it's mouth,looking like a crystal.Phoenix released a mighty cry and sent it towards Cord.

Crystal was so fast that even Gin couldn't reach in time.Corn didn't look flustered,his face calm.He directly controlled all balls and put them in front of him in a straight line.Each ball sent a thunder bolt to other,all of them accumulating at the first one.Then all balls dissipated,leaving a single blue ball flashing with resplendent light.Aura of destruction was at it's peak while Corn's eyes were burning like a fire.He was trying a new method he always thought of,a thing he never attempted.

''COME!''With a shout,ball of light disappeared.Then a huge sound ruptured Corn's ears and hurting the others.But Corn didn't care,his gaze locked on the incoming crystal.Before anyone could comprehend anything,a blue light appeared and clashed with crystal.

*BOOOM*

A huge explosion appeared and hundreds of thunder scattered from collision's center.Lightnings were colliding with pillars and blizzards,leaving marks that even snow couldn't cover in hours.Every snow around 10 meters of collision melted,leaving only a pitch black ground.Crystal was utterly destroyed,leaving nothing behind.

Maira was astonished at Corn's magic.But even she didn't have any time.Without giving any of them a break,Phoenix flapped it's wings and rushed towards the skies.It's body turned crystal once again,flashing with the same light.Phoenix's target this time was Leon and Craz,near to Maira.

Before Leon could move,Maira stopped him.''Just wait.''After hesitating,Leon nodded and stood in front of both of them,intending to take the first volley.

Phoenix let out a cry,it's body showing signs of cracking.Then with a huge boom,it's body exploded and sent countless ice fragments towards them.As ice fragments were closing in,huge pillars closed on towards them,each glowing with incredible glows.

Leon was anxious,but still stood at his place,not moving an inch.As Ice fragments were just a bit away from them,Maira changed Supression Ground.Now,force was not gravity,But repulsion!All pillars and ice fragments slowed down,like they were in a swamp.Leon's eyes brightened and directly rushed towards the pillars before fragments.

He used all his power and slashed at pillars,sending huge amounts of mist and a streak of light.Ligh cut through the front ones while slowed down the others.Then mist directly arrived in front of them,corroding their inside and outside.Not waiting for them to die,Leon leaped towards the ice fragments and sent another huge slash.

Just like the pillars,It cut through the fragments but numbers were much more lower.Even so,mist was working just like he wanted and all ice fragments were destroyed in no time.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

As he was busy with fragments,Maira also created a small Fire ball at Grand level.It looked very tiny and useless,but even someone with a bit of knowledge would understand the terrifying force inside it.Fire ball was compressed to the point of looking like a star.Without waiting,Maira sent it towards Phoenix.

Phoenix let out a ridiculing cry and tens of pillars appeared out of nowhere,blocking the fire ball.But before Fire Ball was smashed,it exploded!With a huge boom,all pillars in front of it were destroyed,leaving only a few.Phoenix was going to attack again,but before it could do anything a wave of heat smashed on it's face.

Fire ball didn't explode,it was split apart!Tens of small fireballs crashed on to Phoenix.Tens of booms echoed out,accompanied by Phoenix's pained cry.All of Phoenix's feathers were on fire,making it look like a 'Real' Phoenix.This time,Gin and Grim didn't give Phoenix any chance.

7 Gin's appeared under Phoenix like a ghost,scaring Phoenix a little.It couldn't take anymore damage or it's body would fall apart!With an enraged cry,Phoenix started to turn like a whirlwind,sending flames and wild winds towards 7 Gin.All phantoms disappeared,leaving only one coughing up blood.Phoenix was going to let out another cry to Attack Grim,but it was interrupted by a intense pain and burning sensation at it's belly.

HOW!Phoenix thought,looking wildly around it.Then it realized,a mighty Phoenix like it was decieved.At it's belly,another Gin appeared like a ghost,his real body.All this time,he only used 7 phantoms,none of them was his real body!He only showed himself when cutting through pillars for Maira,other than that always hidden himself.So he managed to suprise the Phoenix.

Slashing his daggers,Gin cut through Phoenix's belly.His speed was way too fast,to the point of his daggers becoming blurs.He danced his daggers through all of Phoenix's body,cutting cutting and cutting.His power was not enough to directly reach to the meat,but he had speed!With enough speed,he could completely pierce it's feathers!

And this was what happened.Phoenix's eyes turned bloodshot,sending a chilling aura from it's body.All flames were directly extinguished,leaving nothing but marks.Gin's body started to freeze at a incredible speed,so he didn't have any choice other than retreating.

Phoenix let out a cry,like it was complaining to the heavens and cursing at the owners of this dimension.Bloody wound at Phoenix's body slowly closed,but it's eyes also dimmed a little.Even so,it's eyes were still bloodshot,deep killing intent radiating out of it.

Then,Phoenix's body expanded like crazy.In no time,it became hundred meters long,it's feathers crystal clear and eyes radiating a cold enough to freeze souls.It's eyes dimmed once again,it's mind in despair.It was staking it's life in here.If he were to die,he had to sleep for another century to wake up again,or had to use the spare energy in the pillar to revive.

But even without giving Phoenix a chance,Grim appeared like a death angel above Phoenix.In his hand stood his ordinary sword,made form his Creation Magic.But this time,there was a different thing.Whole blade of Sword was covered by black flames,radiating an aura that froze the 'Ice' Phoenix.

In these 4 months,Grim discovered something important.No matter how much he tried,he couldn't use the power of Dry flame.He tried to control it or strengthen it's powers.He tried to use it for burning his skin or set the bed he slept on flame.But nothing worked,not anything.But,he had a idea.A idea very risky.

He used Dryflame at Creation Magic.He fused it with his ordinary sword,which was the very first sword he created.When he fused the Dryflame with sword,his fate was sealed.If sword was broken,not only he had to create the sword from start,he had to condense Dryflame again.It wouldn't be much hard as he created it once,but he had to wait for months to regain it once more.Worst case,years.

Even so,he still chose to do it.He wanted to make this sword of his something at the level of Spirit weapon,maybe much more stronger!So,this was a neccessary thing.

Raising his sword high in sky,Grim's long hair fluttered.His plain face,his blue eyes flashing like a star,his body looking like forged from divine metal and the smile at his lips.He looked like a descended God,ready to reap souls of anyone who opressed him!

Black flames around his sword slowly started to turn like a whirlpool.With each turn,More fear would invade Phoenix's heart.Even so,it chose to fight with it!He was a mighty being,something as rare as heavens itself!So what if it was fearful!it could fear but it would never step back from a challenge!This was it's spirit,it's Way!

Grim looked deeply at the eyes of Phoenix,understanding it's emotions.A unyielding spirit,a smile as bright as the stars itself,a path only belonging to it and a resolve to surpass anything.This was Phoenix's life,it's emotions.

'Path,a strange thing indeed.'With this thought,Grim acted.Right now,Whole sword was looking like it was covered by a black whirlwind.Black flames were turning at such a speed even his arm was slowly melting,dissolving into meat pieces.''Goodbye!''With a las word,he lowered his sword.

Phoenix let out a cry,showing a respect to this young boy he took as a rival.It's whole feathers brightened and gaze steeled.With a last one cry,Phoenix flew towards the incoming sword,ready to take it head on.With a boom,Phoenix reached a speed that even afterimages were only blurs.

Winds screamed,air sizzled,snow melted and air shattered.With a last resplentend light,everything went dim.Then,a huge sound echoed out.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

*CRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY*

At the one side of the sky,blue lights flashed with glory,like a torch at the end of it's light,a light struggling against all the odds to live and challenging the fate itself!At the other side stood huge black flames,harbiner of doom and destruction.Like a whirlwind,flames swallowed the air itself,leaving marks even time can't heal.

It was a beatiful,yet horrifying sight.After several seconds,both lights died,leaving only a huge body lying down,listless yet a small fire of life left.At it's side stood a young boy,looking down at the huge body.Then Grim shook his head.He intentionally left Phoenix alive,as he knew what kind of a situation it was in.At least,this way Phoenix wouldn't sacrifice something.It only had to wait,time would do everything for it.

As he was thinking this was the end,several cries echoed out,some of them even stronger than Phoenix.All cries shook the dimension,sending fear and despair to the hearts of the people who heard them.8 Blue lights appeared on the horizon,closing in at incredible speeds.

In a instant,they were in front of Grim and listless Phoenix,their eyes filled with Greed and ridicule.All of them directly let their aura go wild,shaking the whole place.Suddenly,several tens of thousands pillars appeared from nowhere,crashing like a lightning to the ground.Pillars belonging to the first Phoenix released auras filled with fear and anger at the same time,turning their bodies towards the owner of this area,Phoenix.

Grim stood at his place,looking at these 8 phoenix,his eyes serious.

Among them,the one with the strongest aura spoke with an ancient voice

''Human,Make way.''
