Capítulo 360: 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.
"Mistress, Spica, please calm yourself." "Yes, Mistress Spica. Besides, I'm sure Master Hayat has a reason for his actions." "We understand your anger, but now isn't the time to point fingers and blame, Mistress Spica." Stated the many lower-class Phoenixes as they tried to serve as mediators, attempting to calm Spica lest things escalated, though it didn't seem to be working.
"Shut up! Hayat's only reason is simply because he needed to vent his anger onto someone after being humiliated by Prince Elif in front of everyone!" Remarked Spica furiously as she pushed the phoenixes and approached Hayat, fearlessly standing before him, only for his body to suddenly erupt in violent blue flames that cascaded around him.
"ENOUGH!" Yelled Hayat angrily as he violently backhanded Spica, slamming her body into a nearby wall while blood leaked from her mouth.
"You're too worried about your stupid and foolish walking cock, that you fail to realize the kind of predicament he had just put us in! He openly kissed Empress Maria's projection and then mocked Prince Elif afterward!" Remarked Hayat wrathfully as he approached Spica, who slowly stood up while wiping her mouth.
"We've already tested the Elven Empire's patience and kindness once! I will not have the Phoenix Clan walk on a thread line of destruction all because of Comet's sheer stupidity!" Added Hayat as he stood before Spica while his fire spiralled into a blue flaming pillar that stretched into the sky.
"There is no risk without reward! Besides, we could've talked things out with Prince Elif; after all, isn't he known for being understanding and merciful!?" Exclaimed Spica with a frown as she ignored her injuries and narrowed her eyes, staring through the spiraling flames and gazing into Hayat's eyes.
"Did that look like someone who was understanding and merciful!? Did you see the strength at which he attacked Comet!? He didn't care about the consequences of killing him! He simply wanted him dead! Does that sound like someone who can be reasoned with!?" Asked Hayat as he allowed his anger to flow freely, his fury apparent with every word that escaped his mouth, causing every phoenix to remain silent.
"Listen, Spica. This is of no discussion; going back on my words now would only be me further humiliating the Elven Empire. Just because they're kind doesn't mean for a second that they're weak; if that were true, would they have reigned as the longest-standing Immortal Hegemony?" Added Hayat sternly as he coldly looked at Spica, who wished to refute, yet she couldn't, causing him to scoff while turning around.
"I suggest you shut up and look pretty; you're the whole reason we're in this mess, to begin with, and if you keep talking, I'll banish you as well. Your only noteworthy value was that your beauty kept Comet, yet with him having sworn an oath to his dao heart, you're far less important." Stated Hayat coldly as he retracted his flames while ignoring Spica, who simply bit her lip in frustration before reluctantly sitting down in silence.

"Her Highness narrowly secured a victory over the wisp, your Highness; she is now facing her twenty-first opponent, who happens to be a Fire Demon." Said Illumia softly as she recounted every detail while slightly bowing to Elif, who faintly nodded with closed eyes.
Illumia recounted everything in detail for the entire fight, allowing me to imagine it within my mind, though she was smart enough not to mention any injuries Elaine was sustaining. However, after a few minutes, I heard Illumia and Maxim sigh, and following that, Elaine appeared lying on the ground beneath the spire, covered in injuries while exhaustion threatened to put her into a deep slumber.
Although exhausted, injured, and severely weakened, Elaine was still able to stand up and float towards us, though while doing so, she noticed the weird atmosphere of the coliseum along with our destroyed booth when she arrived.
"Um, did I perhaps miss something, Maxim?" Asked Elaine with a slight frown as she tossed a pill into her mouth while glancing at Elif, instantly recognizing the anger within him despite the smile he gave her.
"Yes, your Highness. Though, I think it would be best if I were to inform you at a different time." Replied Maxim with a nod as he slightly bowed to Elaine, who didn't refute his words and approached Elif, who outstretched his hand.
"Are you alright, Brother?" Asked Elaine curiously as she grabbed Elif's hand, pulling her into his embrace while she sat on his lap.
"Well… Now that you're here with me, I feel much better." Replied Elif softly with a faint smile as he embraced Elaine while she faintly nodded before keeping quiet.
While I kept Elaine company while she healed, or more like, she kept me company as I was the one in need of her presence, though once the effects of the pill started to wear off, I figured I might as well quickly get this whole ordeal over with, I was no longer in the mood to enjoy myself; I simply wished to return home, bathe, and then cultivate.
"I'll be entering the spire now; I suggest everyone else do the same." Said Elif as he kissed Elaine's cheek before setting her on the throne while briefly glancing at Sarah, Marley, Idonea, and Ember, who all nodded.
"Alright, Brother." Said Elaine, with a faint smile as she waved at Elif, who smiled back before floating towards the Spire while three women and a girl followed behind, causing her face to twitch slightly.
