Angel's Descent: The Wings of Rebellion

In the midst of his meditation, Jano suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils now gleamed like violet stars, and his aura surged far beyond that of twenty years ago. His power had skyrocketed to the second tier of the extraordinary realm, and his Thunderwing profession was now at its peak.

He turned his gaze to the distant west, where the ground trembled and the sound of earth-shaking collisions could be heard. Soon, a towering ancient dragon and a massive titan appeared in his line of sight.

The ancient black dragon was pitch-black from head to tail, its scales gleaming with a metallic sheen, though it was clearly in a weakened state, covered in deep gashes. The titan was a female, towering over one hundred meters, with a crown of woven vines adorning her head. She was beautiful, with fair skin and a graceful figure. If her size were reduced a hundredfold, she would resemble the human beauties Jano had seen in his past life's online images. 

Seeing the unexpected sight of a titan and an ancient dragon fighting, Jano was perplexed but quickly regained his composure. 

"How is it that the Titans and Ancient Dragons are fighting here?" he wondered aloud.

He called for several adult hawkmen and ordered, "Quickly, according to the old customs, lead the tribe to the safety caves." 

"Yes, Chief!" The hawkmen immediately responded.

For the past twenty years, all the hawkmen had followed Jano's orders without question.

Watching them swiftly mobilize, Jano nodded in approval. Still, his gaze remained fixed on the western horizon. After a brief hesitation, he spread his wings and quietly took flight toward the battle.

In the Western Forest, thousands of miles away... 

The female titan, Asuna, raised her spear high, disregarding her grievous wounds, and thrust it with all her strength into the black dragon's scales, causing golden blood to spurt out. 

"Mefith, you killed my brother. Today, we will both lie here together!" she shouted. 

The ancient black dragon, knowing his end was near, let out a long sigh and responded with a mocking grin.

"Fine, Asuna. If I must die, at least I'll be buried alongside a beautiful titan like you," he said.

With that, the dark aura around him erupted violently, engulfing the sky in darkness. A massive, jet-black dragon's claw shot out from the swirling shadow, piercing through Asuna's chest like a sword. 

Asuna, enduring excruciating pain, summoned all her remaining light energy. A spear of brilliant light burst forth, piercing through the black dragon's skull with an unstoppable force. 

The collision of light and darkness exploded in a cataclysmic burst, shattering every tree in Jano's sight and plunging the world into chaos. 

Even though Jano instinctively retreated to a safer distance, the explosion was so powerful that he was disoriented for a moment and fell to the ground. 

When the dust finally settled...

Jano picked himself up, gazing across the devastated land. The forest for miles around had been utterly destroyed, with the mingling auras of darkness and light creating an uninhabitable wasteland. At the center of this desolate land lay the bodies of the titan and the ancient black dragon, lying still as the earth itself. 

"How fascinating," Jano muttered, flying over the remains of the two ancient demigods. Unfazed by the aura of the once mighty beings, he smiled with a gleam of ambition. 

"A dead titan and a dead ancient dragon..."

"The heavens have blessed my tribe. I already know how to make use of your bodies!"

The corpses of demigods could last for millennia, and secretly hiding them would be a priceless treasure for the tribe.

Looking down at the golden blood spilling onto the ground, Jano felt a pang of regret.

"I must get some blue stone to collect this blood... it would be a waste to let it go to waste."
