Taranis's ambush in the capital of Valcyrian caused the death of nearly 1,500 dragons. Zareth Ondine Valcyrian, the Ancestor of the Ondine Clan, who had been exposed to the Sovereign's killing intent at zero distance, could not survive either.
The remaining four Ancestors, who had still not recovered from the battle against the Almighty Sovereign, also suffered severe injuries.
All the dragons stationed around the borders of the Riftland were called back, and the gates of Valcyrian were sealed shut as the entire dragon race entered closed-door cultivation to recover.
The weakened Ancestors opened an opportunity for the Zephyr Clan to gather all the dragons supporting Taranis and leave Valcyrian.
