But they did not get the chance to strike. Suddenly, a sharp forceful wind pushed at them and caused them to steer off balance. They crashed into each other trying to regain their stability and tumbled to the ground. What was that? The Firebirds looked around in confusion, wondering where the wind came from. Was there a Roc nearby? Their sights finally landed on Sulnu after a few dazed glances. Was this skeletal monstrosity the cause?
"Who are you?" One of the Firebirds screeched angrily at Sulnu.
"Die!" Sulnu roared as she jumped towards the Firebirds and landed heavily in the center of the group.
The ground shook fiercely as cracks formed beneath Sulnu's feet. The Firebirds collapsed as their legs gave way. This! This was the Wyverns' special skill - Earth Pound! How did this monster learn such a move? But, before the Firebirds could think anymore, Sulnu lunged forward with her mouth open wide and she bit into one of the Firebirds. Even though, the Firebird in question had its body enshrouded with flames, the fire did not harm Sulnu. Sulnu clamped her mouth, refusing to let go of the Firebird and before the other Firebirds could do anything, she took to the skies. The other Firebirds flew after her screaming for her to let go of their cousin. Suddenly, a black streak flew past them. They veered their bodies and avoided the black streak. What was that? Before they could react, two Firebirds screamed in pain and plummeted down to the ground. What happened? The rest of the Firebirds looked at their fallen brethren and found that they were on fire...not with their own fire...but with a black fire. The black fire enveloped the two Firebirds, consuming their fire and continued to burn the two bodies to dust.
"Who did this?!" One of the seven remaining Firebirds roared as they scanned their surroundings.
"I think I know who did this!" Another Firebird exclaimed, "You remember that Firebird from back then? The black one."

"You mean...him?! Isn't he de-!"
Before the Firebird could finish, blood spewed out of its mouth as a claw pierced through its body. The other Firebirds gasped with shock as they saw Blackie perched on top of the Firebird, a menacing killing intent flooded the area. The other Firebirds shuddered as they froze in their spots, their bodies refused to move. Blackie surveyed the six Firebirds and with a glint in his eyes, Blackie disappeared in a black blur. Six whooshes...and six heads rolled to the ground. With a flare, all six bodies erupted in black flames, burning the bodies quickly and completely. All this occurred in a matter of minutes.
The different ways these twelve Firebirds died did not escape the notice of the remaining 93 Firebirds. Quickly, the leader of the Firebirds nodded towards the group and immediately, 50 of them turned and rushed towards us. Immediately, I sent Sulnu a command. I told her to use her skill - Death Wave. Sulnu understood and took a few steps forward to meet the charge. With a loud roar, a deathly aura emitted from her body and swept over the fifty Firebirds. Although the skill was new and did not have enough killing strength, the withering power did slow down and even cripple some of the enemies. Nevertheless, all fifty Firebirds collapsed to the ground, Death Essence lingering on their bodies.
Without giving them time to recover, I sped forward and soared to the skies. Using an advanced form of Essence Manipulation, I pulled the fifty Firebirds together by pulling their essence together. Then, I raised my hand and called forth my Flames of Wrath. With a menacing smirk, I threw the fireball into the pile of Firebirds. Screams of pain and death erupted as the Firebirds tried to put out the undying Flames of Wrath. But, the Flames of Wrath could never be put out until the substances they are burning had been reduced to nothingness. I watched as the Flames of Wrath made quick work with the Firebirds, leaving behind nothing...not even ash.
