'From the look of his face, he doesn't seem like bluffing,' Ajax's words made the older birdman think for a moment before he gazed at his elemental spirits.

"Okay then, I will kill your elemental spirits first and then continue to torture you slowly until you beg of death with your own mouth," with that, the older birdman chanted something while forming some symbols with his hands. 

But before he could complete his chanting, all the elemental spirits vanished into thin air which caused the older birdman to stop his chanting and to make hand signs.

After saying that, he resumed his chanting and started forming various hand symbols.
