After preparing for almost a year since then, Green Feather barely rested, filled with rage and frustration over what had happened to his family by the hands of the Monkey Emperor, he motivated himself every day to train harder and grow stronger for the day he would clash against him at long last…
His entire life has been filled with the lingering memories of such agonizing memories, and he had been barely able to sleep at night due to that. However, because of his blessing giving him a great amount of power and even stamina, he was capable of living without even needing to sleep that much.
He hunted down any monster he could find, soaring through the Grand Forest, incessantly… Slowly, he gained EXP to level up several times, officially evolving into the new Gale Bird Emperor from a Gale Bird King. After that, he felt like it was more than enough. On his mind the Monkey was weak as he was very old, and his own father had weakened him as well, he was confident that after evolving he would finally be able to slay him.
And he wasn't going to give him a good death, but one filled with agony, he was going to trample over him and all his clan and make them all go through the same things they went through, without any doubt! He flew with his army, a hundred Gale Birds he had raised to grow stronger and replace the old soldiers, and he flew one night towards the Monkey Clan nest.
He flew down and immediately attacked without any regards for the monkeys in there, a storm of winds was unleashed, slicing, crushing, and killing dozens of monkeys that were guarding the place, all of them were soldiers that were protecting the territory, trampled by his enormous wind magic, they were nothing.
"…Don't kill the civilians, but kill all the soldiers, capture everybody else!" Roared Green Feather, as his Gale Birds flew down, fighting against the monkeys as a war quickly broke out between the two in a whim. The monkeys used their dexterous hands and humanoid bodies to fight, firing arrows, rocks, and javelins towards the bird, and striking down several of them, but the birds used their speed, sharp beaks, airborne fighting techniques, and powerful wind magic to slice, crush, and kill many monkeys as well.
As the massacre unfolded, Green Feather flew into the depth of the clan territory, entering a large cave where twelve monkeys wearing armor stopped his path, they unleashed powerful attacks using different weapons, they were quite formidable… However, Green Feather easily trampled over them mercilessly, splattering them over the floor and decorating the entrance of the cave where the Monkey Emperor lived the same way he did to his own.
"Monkey Emperor!!!" Roared Green Feather, shrouding himself on his own winds as he flew inside the cave, finding the old monkey right there, dumbfounded to see him as he was still processing the battle that was happening outside, his old age had made him slower and weaker.
"Green Feather! You… How could you do such a thing?!" Roared the Monkey Emperor, truly furious! However, Green Feather only grew more angered and furious!
"You ask me how I could do such a thing when you massacred my clan's soldiers and my entire family back then?! You… fucking hypocrite!!!" Roared Green Feather. "This is just what you had coming for you, this was just what you should had predicted, you damn bastard! I'll massacre you, and torture you… until you cannot take it anymore and you implore me to kill you!!!"
Green Feather roared monstrously as he reached the Monkey Emperor, his winds clashed against the Emperor as his feathers were suddenly reinforced by his [Steel Feathers] Skill, becoming as sharp as blades, slashing through the Mountain Monkey Emperor's skin and even shattering his magic barriers!
CLASH! SLASH! BOOM!
"Uuoogh…! G-Green Feather… You've become so strong…!" Muttered the Mountain Monkey Emperor in disbelief, as he looked at the furious and enormous bird with fear clear on his eyes.
"All of this was so I could one day kill you! I've been practicing and leveling up for so long… Killing as many monsters and HUMANS as I could!" Laughed Green Feather. "Just for this day to come…!"
"S-So you've even killed humans…" Muttered the Mountain Monkey Emperor. "You're already someone irremediable… I… I am sorry, this is all my fault…"
"Eh?!"
However, before Green Feather could even take down the Mountain Monkey Emperor, the Mountain Monkey Emperor suddenly began to mutter words of honesty and guilt… He wasn't feeling angered at him, he was feeling… guilty? The Mountain Monkey Emperor was frustrated and filled with sorrow. He felt as if he had done a sin that couldn't be forgiven, he also wanted to die like Green Feather for some reason.
"Why…? Why did you do this?!" Roared Green Feather.
"…I cannot tell you, not yet, Green Feather!" Said the Mountain Monkey Emperor.
"THEN DIE!" Roared Green Feather, roaring madly as his claws unleashed countless attacks against the Mountain Monkey Emperor, crushing him into the ground and slashing his chest, his arms were almost broken and his face filled with wounds, even one of his eyes was slashed, making the old Mountain Monkey Emperor lose the vision of that eye.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"DIEEEE! DIEEE! DIEEEE!!!" Roared Green Feather madly, he had lost himself on his own anger, his own wrath, his own sorrow… He became a wild monster, no different from all the beast he killed and ate.
"THEY'LL NEVER COME BACK…! YOU TOOK THEM AWAY FROM MEEEEE!" Cried Green Feather, as tears started to come out of his eyes as he massacred the Mountain Monkey Emperor…
However, the Mountain Monkey Emperor was holding back this entire time, but quickly realized that… he could not die yet.
Not yet…
The Mountain Monkey Emperor suddenly unleashed his aura of magic, surprising Green Feather and taking him out of his insanity for a moment, as Green Feather suddenly felt his strong hand grasping one of his wings!
"I am sorry, Green Feather…!"
CRACK!
