Elven Legacy (Part 2)

Chapter 360: Comet Now Alone

As Hayat's words resounded throughout the entire coliseum, entering everyone's ears, the first to react was Comet, as he stooped, attacking me and looked at him in disbelief while Spica glared at him just moments later; however, I didn't care as that would be his problem to deal with, after all, I merely asked a question.

"Hmm, I see." Said Elif lightly with a faint nod as he gazed at the Phoenix Clan in pure indifference before glancing at Comet.

"Hayat, h-how could you!? I-I thought we were brothers! W-We even shared a drink together!" Exclaimed Comet in disbelief as he stared at Hayat, who simply gnashed his teeth while shaking his head.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about; I've shared drinks with many men, yet I've never claimed one to be my Brother." Replied Hayat coldly as he lifted his head and glared at Comet, who continued to try and appeal to him.

"B-But, I-I'm married to Spica, your cousin! I-I'm an in-law! We're basically family." Stated Comet as he stepped forward, glancing at Spica before shifting his focus to Hayat, who simply scoffed in anger.

"The only reason you're married to Spica is because you've already taken her purity; otherwise, she would've been married off to someone for more fitting of her. And you dare to call us family? No family of mine would be so utterly stupid and reckless." Remarked Hayat sternly as he stared at Comet while spitting on the ground, causing his eyes to widen slightly before he raised his fist.

"Fine! Since you wish to be that way, Hayat... Henceforth, I, Comet, will no longer claim Phoenix Clan as my own! I swear upon my dao heart!" Declared Comet loudly in slight anger as he raised his fist into the air, causing the sky to release a thunderous rumble at his words.

"Tsk, I'll make sure you'll regret today!" Added Comet furiously as he coldly stared at the Phoenix Clan before walking away, his figure vanishing within the coliseum.

Watching Comet leave after having broken any and all ties with the Phoenix Clan, I retracted my immortal Wil before turning around and heading to my destroyed booth; there was no need for me to stay, not when I could hardly even do anything to begin with.

Sitting down on my throne, I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the back, taking a few moments to regain a semblance of composure while I pushed the burning rage I felt to the depths of my being, saving it for when it was truly time to take Comet's life.

After a few moments, I opened my eyes and stared at the spire before, using my divine sense to watch Elaine, who was fighting against a Wisp, as surprising as it sounded; though, since I had been busy focusing on Comet, I've lost track of what number enemy she was fighting.

"What floor has Elaine made it to?" Asked Elif calmly, his voice carrying the softness it always held, though the apparent strain was all his servants needed to know he was far from composed.

"She is currently on the twentieth floor, your Highness." Said Marley softly and respectfully, her lust nowhere to be seen as she channeled her professionalism.

Nodding at Marley's words, I spoke no more and shifted all of my focus toward Elaine, hoping that by watching her, I'd manage to collect myself, yet her opponent was quite strong, with the two being nearly on equal ground, though Elaine had just the slightest advantage. However, given my mental and emotional state right now, watching my dearest sister constantly receive injury and wounds upon her heavenly body only did the opposite of what I hoped and further angered me.

"Tell me the outcome of the fight." Said Elif in slight anger as he closed his eyes and retracted his divine sense, entering complete silence while not a soul made a noise.

"Hayat! How could you do that!? You know how much the Ancestors love Comet!" Yelled Spica in fury as she stomped her foot onto the ground while glaring at Hayat, who was silently sitting down, not even looking in her direction.
