*BOOM!!*
The black ball of energy struck the ground where Lian Chen had stood, creating an explosion that echoed through the forest. The impact obliterated everything within its radius, reducing the trees and rocks to mere splinters and rubble.
A gaping hole was left in the ground, its edges scorched and smoking. Dust and debris filled the air, creating a thick, impenetrable cloud that shrouded the aftermath of the Midnight Phoenix's attack.
As the dust and debris began to settle, the Midnight Phoenix hovered above the destruction, its eyes scanning the scene for any signs of its opponent. To its shock and bewilderment, there was no trace of Lian Chen. Not even his corpse remained amidst the wreckage.
"KIEEE?!" The Midnight Phoenix screeched, its cry a mix of confusion and frustration.
"Behind you, you stupid chicken!" A voice rang out from behind the beast.
