Somewhere at the peak of a mountain range.
Large snow covered the mountaintop, where one could look far from the heights and see nothing but white all around.
An eagle-shaped demon beast glided over, splitting the sea of clouds with its wings.
"Roar!"
The demon beast raised its head to roar, proclaiming this sky as its own.
It spotted a burning figure swiftly ascending, wrapped in mist arisen from the snow meeting heat.
Prey!
The eagle-shaped demon beast folded its wings and dove, regardless of whether the other was prey or enemy.
The distance closed rapidly; it charged like a long spear, filled with a murderous intent.
However, just as it got close, several golden skeletal arms stretched out from the cloak behind the figure, forming a bizarre, giant golden sword that vertically slashed downward, cleaving the demon beast in two.
