The flaming bird wheezed, its wings drooping. "Enough... I yield... for now."
Reign grinned, tapping the staff on his shoulder.
"That's what I thought. And remember, next time, don't mess with someone who can create giant avatars. It never ends well."
Reign paused, his grin fading as a strange feeling washed over him.
He glanced at the massive golden monkey avatar behind him.
'Wait a second... why does this look so familiar?' he muttered, scratching his head.
It was as if he'd just pulled off some iconic move from someone other than Wukong—someone really powerful, but he couldn't quite place it.
'Nah, forget it. Must've seen it in a movie in my past life,' Reign muttered, shaking his head to clear the thought.
He turned his focus back to the flaming bird, now several sizes smaller and barely managing to hold itself together.
