Meanwhile in another corner of the colosseum a massive fight was happening between two superpowers of the continent.

Tamasya conjured a volley of shadow spears and launched them toward the one-handed Alister, her movements were sharp and quick, but Alister, despite his injuries, reacted immediately as his brows furrowed and he raised his hand to conjure a beam of phoenix fire.

The shadow spears dissolved upon contact with the intense heat, and the beam of fire continued forward, striking Tamasya directly, and although she managed to defend herself just enough to avoid severe damage, the impact still flung her back and injured her slightly.

Her brows tightened as she realized that even a difference of a single realm in strength was proving to be a significant disadvantage in this confrontation.

Her frustration boiled as well, she had been trying to find a way to counter this guy for quite some time now. She thought of something and took the chance.

Without wasting time, she raised her hands again, and from the ground beneath her, several humanoid shadow manifestations emerged silently.

The shadow manifestations changed forms and cloned to look like her, shadow moved and gave all of them a similar presence to Tamasya.

Immediately, the shadow clones surrounded Alister in the sky from all directions, creating a situation that appeared increasingly unfavorable for him.

Despite this, Alister remained calm, and before the clones could initiate their attack, he unleashed a massive phoenix flame inferno that spread rapidly across the area, engulfing everything in its path and dissipating all the shadow clones instantly.

He appeared in front of Tamasya and kicked her squarely in the abdomen throwing her off the sky and crashing her on the ground. A thin trail of blood appeared by the side of her lips. She stood up and looked at him threateningly with frustration.

For a brief moment, Alister felt that he had gained the advantage over her, but that moment was exactly what Tamasya had been waiting for.

A long chain etched with divine runes materialized in her hand, its interlocking segments pulsed with both shadow and nether elements, and instead of harming her, the nether element responded to her will as if it recognized her authority.

This control was possible thanks to William, who had shared the nether element’s absolute affinity with her, allowing her to wield it effectively as part of her arsenal.

Without hesitation, she launched the heavy chains toward Alister, catching him off guard, and although he immediately attempted to burn them away with fire, he quickly realized that the chains were indestructible.

Within a second, the chains wrapped tightly around him, restricting his movement completely, and as the nether element made contact with his body, Alister let out a scream of intense pain, as the corrosive nature of the element began to affect him in a way he had never experienced before.

His mind started to grow foggy as the pain intensified, spreading through his entire body and reaching deep into his bones.

He pulled with all his force in an attempt to loosen Tamasya’s grip on the chains but she did not let go even after her hands stunned and shook due to the sheer pull of Alister.

The skin of her hands peeled slowly as her blood dripped along the chain.

Looking no way out of the trap Alister made a decision to switch form and use his full strength.

A sharp screech echoed as a blinding light burst from his body, and in the next instant, Alister transformed into his true phoenix form, his massive wings attempting to spread as he struggled against the chains, but the force of his movements was transmitted directly back to Tamasya through the chains she held.

She gritted her teeth and held her ground, refusing to release her grip, and with her other hand, she pulled the chains even tighter. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Alister, now in his phoenix form, entered a state of frenzy as the pain overwhelmed him, and despite his continuous struggle, Tamasya remained resolute, fully aware that this was the only way she could defeat a primarch.

She screamed in pain as the behemoth force of that phoenix’s struggle was barely contained by her human hands.

Her feet were nearly lifted off the ground due to the force, but shadow wisps quickly formed around her, anchoring her back in place and reinforcing her stability as more of them gathered to support her grip on the chains.

Her appearance began to change as the shadows enveloped her, strengthening her presence and giving her an imposing form that resembled that of a divine entity.

A sharp obsidian crown with seven spikes formed around her head, and serpentine shapes of shadow moved around her body in constant motion.

"Arrrhhhhhh!!!"

With a roar filled with fury and intent, Tamasya continued pulling the chains, dragging the struggling phoenix downward and eventually slamming it onto the ground with immense force.

At this point, Tamasya’s anger had reached its peak, and she poured all of her accumulated frustration into the battle, her movements became more forceful and relentless.

The shadow serpents faded around her body, leaving behind a solid obsidian armor that covered her body making her look like a messenger of death.

Alister in his crashed state felt the danger from her transformation, he tried to escape but a spear of darkness impaled his massive phoenix wings.

With a sharp motion, Tamasya tightened and rattled the chains before leaping toward the fallen phoenix.

Alister attempted to retaliate by releasing flames from his mouth, but Tamasya reacted instantly, jerking the chains in a way that cut off the attack and effectively suffocated him from the neck.

Recognizing that the moment had come, she wrapped the chains tightly around the phoenix’s head as well, suppressing all resistance put forth by the primarch under her as she continued her assault without hesitation.

She came forward and punched Alister’s face repeatedly leaving him battered.

The chains continued to coil, reducing the distance between Tamasya’s hands and Alister’s coiled form until the entire length had wrapped around the massive body.

Tamasya positioned herself firmly, placing one foot on the ground and the other on the restrained phoenix’s lower body, and then she pulled the coiled chain apart in opposite directions with all the strength she had left.

The muscles of her face tightened, her eyes became red and her jaw was clenched.

The pressure on the struggling bird increased steadily.

Eventually the chains slightly began to dig into the flesh of the massive creature, causing visible damage.

"No!!!!!! Victorrrrrrr!!!! Elavlin!!!!! anyone!! help!!!!!!!!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. The nether energy of the chains was eating his sanity and his body as well.

Alister’s screams echoed loudly, but there was no one capable of intervening, as the primarchs were occupied with their own battles and the others lacked the power to interfere.

Initially, the damage appeared as healable injuries, but as the force behind the chains continued to grow, feathers began to break with cracking sounds produced now and then, followed by the sound of bones cracking under the pressure, which only Tamasya could hear clearly while the others heard only his screams.

Her breathing became increasingly heavy as her stamina began to decline, which only added to her frustration, and with one final effort, she shouted in a high-pitched shrill voice, "DIE, VERMIN !!!"

At this moment, she exerted all her remaining strength, and the result was immediately apparent.

With a violent blood-curdling rupture, the phoenix’s body gave way, and its guts, eyeballs and brain matter burst outward while blood, flesh, and bone fragments scattered across the area.

It felt as if she had crushed a soft ripe fruit.

Tamasya’s form was now covered in red blood of Alister, staining her pitch black armor and crown while the remains of the primarch fell apart beneath the pressure.

As the screams ceased, her grip on the chains loosened, and she stood there breathing heavily for a silent moment looking at the remains of Alister, which had been reduced to a massive heap of broken bones and flesh.

She walked toward the remains, her steps were unsteady due to exhaustion, and at one point, her foot caught on a broken rib, causing her to stumble briefly before regaining her balance.

Slowly, she climbed onto the massive heap and seated herself on the partially shattered phoenix skull at the top, her cold gaze was fixed on the battlefield around her, where the ground had been scorched and blood flowed like a river from the remains of the primarch.

She had killed a primarch, the strongest person on the Aris continent.

From within the blood spread around the heap on which she was sitting, shadowy wisps began to rise, gradually taking on humanoid forms, before as they solidified, they all knelt simultaneously with a single thud.

Far away from this scene, William, who had been observing everything, suddenly became aware of a notification appearing within his mind.
