[City of Avalon]

The moment Asagi made her throw, the Cryophoenix then suddenly felt the looming feeling of death, as it quickly casted multiple layers in front of it, in order to fend the thrown spear. However the spear itself has one specific trait why it is considered as a powerful weapon in the legends and mythology, and the reason for it to be quite famous towards the Irish people in regards to ulster mythology.

As the spear designated as the "spear of mortal pain/death" wielded by both Cu Chulainn and Scáthach in the Irish mythology. Such spear itself has a reputation of never missing its target. Whenever the spear is thrown or used for a direct attack, the spear itself would always direct its aim towards the opponents heart, without even missing a single beat.

So when Asagi threw Gae Bulg towards the Cryophoenix, the spear itself directed it course towards the monster's heart, as it crashed unto its barrier and forced it way through the thick layer of defenses without even losing any momentum. As if the spear has a will of its own, its force only grew stronger, as it tried to aim successfully towards its intended target.

Even the Cryophoenix felt the dread in the situation, as it shriek hard and tried to puts its focus in the barrier, while being attacked by everyone all around her. Relying on the toughness of its body, the Cryophoenix raised its aura once more to blow away any people who cant contend against it, which would give it a leeway to fully focus in its defense and attempt to suppress the force of the spear.

Unfortunately as a spear of legend and myth, the spear never gave in, as it contended against the aura of the Cryophoenix, and greatly enhances its penetrating force.

In that moment as if the whole world suddenly turned silent, everyone then heard the sound of breaking glass, as they all turned towards the the point of collision from the spear and the barrier and saw the spear slowly piercing through the barrier itself.

Naturally this caused the Cryophoenix eyes to panic, as it eyes t6ured into a dot and tried to further enhance its barrier. However no matter what it do, the spear itself just kept on going as its tip finally punctured through the barrier, and currently forcing all of its parts to break through it.

The moment the tip of the spear broke through the barrier, the Cryophoenix was then submerge into a state of further panic, as it quickly opened up its wings in an attempt to fly away to safety. But the moment the Cryophoenix did such a thing, it somehow came to forgot the other variables in its way as Michael, Sandalphon, Ariel, Uriel, and Gabriel released their powers and begun attacking the Cryophoenix over its body.

As Ariel struck its stomach, Uriel then struck its back, followed by Gabriel attacking its limbs, and Sandalphon striking down its head, lastly but not the least Michael cutting down its wings causing the Cryophoenix to fall down back to the ground.

Falling down from grace, the Cryophoenix then looked grimly at the spear aimed towards it, as it saw it barrier finally breaking down from the force of the spear, as it made its way through to it in the air, before striking straight to its body, ignoring all manner of layered defenses on its skin, and successfully piercing through its heart.

The moment its heart was pierced through, the Cryophoenix felt an immense sensation of pain, as it was unable to cry out loud, as the curse of Gae Bulg slowly took its life.

From the direction where its heart was pierced, blue veins spread out its body, as tears of purple blood popped out from all its pores, and the Cryophoenix bleeding through its eyes. This was the curse of death, whoever the spear pierced through, death is guaranteed for the target

Convulsing down on the ground, the Cryophoenix tried to detonate itself as it final hurrah, before Michael suddenly flew from above, and directly cuts off its head with its flame sword. With its head cuts off, the head itself rolled all over the ground, leaving a trail of purple blood from the curse of the spear, and everyone anticipating its next move.

However as if relieving everybody from its burden, everyone saw the life in its eyes slowly fades away, as the Cryophoenix held its last breath, and finally dying in the hands of its enemy.

"Its dead... its dead... were alive.... WERE ALIVE!!!!"

This cheer came from one of the mage on the top of the city wall, as he rejoiced of surviving the attack of a monster who took a lot of life in this battle. Following that mage's cheer, everyone in the city followed suite, as they witnessed the destruction that the monster had done and was now relieved that the danger had come to pass. The whole city itself was rejoicing the passing of this danger.

As the cheer grew louder and louder, Asagi's summoned weapons then slowly dematerialize into mana particles, as their purpose of being summoned had ended the moment the enemy was killed. Having expended a lot of mana into this fight, Asagi fell into the ground due to exhaustion, as Ariel quickly rushes in and supports her on her feet.

This was truly a dangerous situation, in this type of battle, the percentage of death would be an all time high, this can be seen on how many angels had died in the process of this battle. In fact even the archangels lives were endangered from fighting an unknown enemy. But Asagi knew that this battle would lead to further improvement of her archangel through the accumulation of experience.

"Bring me back inside the city"

Hearing Asagi's words, Ariel slowly nodded in accordance to her will, and assisted her back inside the city walls itself.

The moment the Cryophoenix breaths its last, that was the moment where the situation had finally stabilized and peace had once more been regained in the land.

*********
{Deep in the Western Mountain Range}

While the death of the Cryophoenix had rejoiced everyone in the city, there are particular people who were not happy from this development at all. One of such people was the Albino demon, who had currently survived the destruction of the dungeon and had overseen the destruction that he had caused

As for the means on how it survived, that is an untold secret that will be kept till later on.

Upon seeing that the Cryophoenix had been dealt with by the people of the mage city, the once smiling face that the albino demon portrays now turns into a frown, as it begun to scowl and criticizes the monster that he had released. After all based on the legend he had learned regarding the Cryophoenix, the creature itself is literally a walking disaster that had once destroyed a country. Taking such title into account, he had hoped that the monster itself to live up to its legend and cause destruction all over the world, by making this northern continent as it first victim.

With the resurface of the monster, he will then slowly assimilate the presence of demons into the world by further spreading chaos and despair in this half part of the world and announce the upcoming war against this lesser countries when the time is ripe.

However never did he expect that he would be immediately foiled at the very beginning of its grand plan. Even though the Cryophoenix showed such destructiveness, the city of mages on the other hand showed their competence and even dealt with such catastrophe. Never in his wildest dreams that there will someone strong enough to deal with the Cryophoenix in the city. What's more was the surprising factor of people with wings attacking the monster in the air.

This is the first time that the albino demon had seen such species before. A person with wings, based on its memory, such creature can only be harpies or winged people with the bloodline of the beast, but never in his memory he had seen people who have huge white wings attached on their back and doesn't have a trait of a beast anywhere on its body aside from its wings.

At that point , the only thing that the albino demon can conclude was that, such species must be a new type of species that had just sprout up among the people of the lesser country.

"After all the sacrifice i have gone through, is this the only thing that a monster in that scale can do? Argh!!! Useless! Truly Useless! Even a demonic beast can do more damage that such an oversized bird can do!!! This is why this part of the world is called lesser, not only are their overall power is inferior, even their monsters are hella weak.... i even wasted one of my precious life saving skill just to release such creature...."

As the albino demon showed its contempt towards the Cryophoenix failed attempt to destroy the city, a sudden presence appeared behind the albino demon as it quietly observed the rampaging demon itself. Based on what it hear, it looks like the albino demon itself is the perpetrator of the chaos that is happening in the mage's city, due to that the presence that was silently observing the demon, showed is alertness towards it, while staying silent about 4 square behind it.

After the albino demon finished venting out its frustration by heavily destroying its surroundings with its punches and stomps, in then calmed down a bit, which led it to suddenly feel the foreign presence behind him, which was previously obscured by his anger.

Upon sensing the presence of a foreign entity behind it, sweats begun to pour on its face, as the albino demon quickly jumped back, while facing the entity behind him. In that sense, the moment its turned around, all he could see was a black robed hooded man, standing right in front of him, and wielding a scythe that was planted unto the ground. Based on its stance, it doesn't seem like such an entity was going to attack him at all, so with that in mind, the albino demon brave up for a moment as it begun inquiring who this person was.

"Who are you? How did you get behind me?"

In response to that, Azrael then answered.

"Me? there's no need for you to know, and if your wondering how i got to sneak up behind you, all i can say is that your too engrossed in your frustration that you were unable to sense my presence... if i were not a calm person, i would have beheaded you the moment you vent out your frustration and you wouldn't know what killed you and how"

"... You... Is that a threat?"

"No! I'm merely stating a fact that i can kill you whenever i wanted to"

Hearing its words, the albino demon then begun to piece everything together in its mind, as it occasionally glances back and forth towards the city and towards the mysterious entity.

"Your one of them aren't you? your with the guys who foiled my schemes aren't you?"

"Hoh?!? How can you say that?"

"I'm not that stupid, after piecing everything that happened and how you interact with me, i can conclude much that you were with those guys that defended the city... of course i don't know which side you are on yet.... but i can assure you that you must have been order to hunt the perpetrator down"

"Hmm...." replied by Azrael as he only showed his smile under the hood, and somewhat exude a a very dangerous and eerie aura.

Sensing this aura symbolizing death, the albino demon took one step back, as he quickly stated his mind.

"Don't even think about it! I may not know where you currently belong yet, but once i learn about what group you belong, i will assure you that i will kill everyone that is related to you and present them right in front of you"

Hearing that threat, Azrael simply laughed it off, as he also took a one step forward which alerted the albino demon. With Azrael taking the first step, the albino demon quickly showed its claws, as it dashed towards him, in an incredible speed with it razor teeth.

Swinging down its arm, Azrael simply moved to the side in order to dodge its initial strike which happened in a blink of an eye, before it raised its scythe with a kick, in order to block the albino demons follow up claw strike and bite.

After Azrael blocked its bite, a glowing bright red light suddenly gathered at the demon's mouth, as the albino demon shot out a laser like attack from a point blank range, forcing Azrael to ducked down by a hair's breath. After dodging that attack just in time, Azrael quickly held his scythe tightly on his right hand, as he slashed upward, which sliced off the left eye of the albino demon, and gave him an opening to strike it from below, which launched the albino demon backwards.

"Gah!"

Falling down on one knee, the albino demon clutched its stomach, as it growled back towards its attacker, before he started to cast a type of demonic magic, with an intent to launch it towards its enemy. However casting such magic takes quite some time to fully activate such spell, so within that interval, Azrael blinked to the side of the albino demon, which caught the latter off guard, and witness its arm got cut off in just a single swing of its scythe.

Feeling the pain coursing throughout its arm, the albino demon screamed out in pain, as black blood begun to ooze out from its arm. But before its could even scream, Azrael swiftly moved behind him, as he placed the blade of its scythe of the demons neck, which cause the latter to break off his voice, and shiver in fear.

"Your going to kill me? do it! in the end it will be useless... no matter how many times you kill me, i will still resurrect again and again... I'm basically immortal!"

"Immortal? i would like to see whether you are immortal yourself or not" replied by Azrael

"... You don't get it do you? I cant die! and even if you manage to kill me and hinder time and time again, i would just end up demoted and someone will always replace me... plus your effort in killing me is insignificant to our grand scheme... in my group i'm the weakest of all i have no formal name but you can all me Trienta (means number 30)... it means i'm ranked 30th among my peers... the very bottom of the 30 ranking albino demons... in front of them i am dispensable"

"...Is that so? are you telling me that if i kill you, the rest will come flocking in like a moth flying straight to the flame?"

"Exactly! and all you could do is regret your act of killing me"

"I see"

After hearing what the Albino demon had said, Azrael then approached the demon's ear, as he eerily replied

"If they come.... I'll wholeheartedly welcome them"

Realizing that Azrael was not even concerned of the consequence of his actions, the Albino demon begun to panic as it tried to catch up to him and voice its rejection of his execution. But before he could even utter a single words, Azrael pulled the scythe towards him, which caused the blade of the scythe to smoothly cut off the demon's head, which completed its beheading

With its beheading, the demon's soul begun to escape its body, as it plans to resurrect on another place far from danger, but before it could even do such a thing, Azrael quickly snatched its soul in its spirit form which caused the demon's soul to panic, and see the person himself absorb his very essence towards him.

In a silent scream, the albino demon's soul was integrated deep into Azrael as it's soul became a nourishment to further strengthen his whole being.

With the demon's death, Azrael then turned to look back towards the city, as he disintegrate the corpse of the demon, before heading back towards the kingdom in the sky by himself. With it, the incident which caused the rampage of the Cryophoenix had come to an end with the death of it's perpetrator.
