Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everything went quiet.
[Venomous Blaspheme Whisper] was activated and it silenced the battlefield rapidly.
The Dragon’s Spirits got reincarnated into Kieran’s side, only their oaths to serve Kieran heard throughout the battlefield.
The Knight, Weapon Master, Drexton, and Herzker were shocked by the scene. No one expected this scene to happen.
The Devil could resummon the things that he killed?
While everyone was looking at each other, their minds recalled the term that had Kieran mentioned.
The Devil’s Army! Something even more fearsome than the Dragon Catastrophe Legion, because it did not require the owner to create from souls, only slaughter!
Gasp!
The crowd gasped hard as this thought came into their minds, followed by fortunate feelings.
“Thank God 2567 is on our side, or else...”
Before Drexton even finished, he shook his head in a bitter smile. Everyone else nodded quietly in acknowledgement, especially Pudder and Cymilaide.
Pudder was simply grateful as a normal human, while Cymilaide felt scared and fortunate at the same time.
Compared to the superheroes or normal humans, as the investigator from the Union Senate, Cymilaide knew a lot of hidden news, including the Devil Overlord.
However, based on his knowledge on the Devil Overlord, although it would have followers or an army under its command, they were all recruited, not slaughtering others to forcefully rope them into its side.
Could it be...
A sudden thought came into Cymilaide’s mind.
“Champion’s Quality!”
Calamity Dragon’s growl showed unconcealable shock. It widened its horrified eyes.
A mortal owning the bloodline to the Devil Overlord was shocking enough but when this particular mortal even owned the Champion’s Quality, it wasn’t just shock anymore, it was... a miracle!
A nearly impossible miracle!
It could not allow Kieran to live! As long as Kieran breathed, he would eventually grow into tremendous trouble!
Calamity Dragon knew from its inheritance memory what kind of monster the special bloodline with Champion’s Quality would give birth to.
The two legendary existence that wiped the Sun and Moon shared the same rank. Although those two had retired into history, the memory that was branded in its mind reminded Calamity Dragon of that fearsome experience, numbing its scalp and causing its body to tremble.
‘Die! He must die! It’s either him or me!’
The thought solidified itself in Calamity Dragon’s mind and grew bigger uncontrollably.
“The Champion is a scary one, but you’ve only acquired the Champion’s Quality! Your future is infinite, but you won’t have one, I won’t let you live another day! Today is the day you die!”
Calamity Dragon roared, Dragon Catastrophe Legion swarming in again. Those reincarnated death souls behind Kieran also charged towards the opposite army at Kieran’s will.
Two armies came in contact and clashed fiercely.
Kaboom!
As though two mountains crashed together, clouds of dust rumbled, the land trembled, fiery blaze splashed, arrows flew and danced in the sky.
The reincarnated Devil Army got the absolute upper hand.
It wasn’t just because of the powerful trio, Barren Champion Nunsel, Shadow Assassin Ero and Windchaser Arrow Tysel, it was also because [Venomous Blaspheme Whisper] granted the reincarnated dead a certain level of enhancement and allowed them to use fire.
Therefore, although the Devil Army fell short in numbers, its strength grinded through the Dragon Catastrophe Legion.
After the armies clashed, both sides fought fiercely to a stalemate for a few seconds before the Dragon Catastrophe Legion started to fall back.
Roar!
A heavy Dragon Whisper echoed in the battlefield.
Calamity Dragon, whose body was still stuck in the void breach, was chanting the inheritance spell that it almost forgot.
To Calamity Dragon, these inheritance spells were only useful when it was born and growing up. Once it entered its prime form, its enormous size provided it absolute strength and control over the Plague Force, enough for it to conquer and destroy.
However, in this particular moment, it chanted the spells that it thought it would never use again in its life.
Wind blew over the battlefield. They seeped into the Dragon’s Spirits, making them quicker in terms of movements and formed a faint Wind Armor around them.
On top of that, a tornado took form in the middle of the two armies and was growing rapidly.
Within a breath’s time, the tornado enveloped both armies.
The tornado instantly turned the battlefield into a giant grinder, blending everything that it sucked into it into smithereens
Fung!
The flaming beheader sword landed on Calamity Dragon’s eyelid again.
Painful cries came from Calamity Dragon.
“As long as you can’t break through my defense, you can’t harm me! How long do you have until your atavism time is up? A minute? Or less? I’ll be looking forward to your death!”
Calamity Dragon shut its eyes tightly, its words uttered through telepathy through the air, not even wanting to open its mouth for it had decided to stall Kieran.
[Transform Devil]’s duration was 4 minutes.
Due to the newly leveled up [Fusion Heart], [Transform Devil]’s duration was replenished, but after that kind of exhaustion, Kieran had less than 2 minutes left, but he wasn’t in a hurry.
Slash after slash landed on Calamity Dragon’s eyelid.
Calamity Dragon would shake its head and swing its claws but they were easily dodged. The fiery wings granted him the ability of flight and utmost nimbleness in the air.
Seconds turned into a minute.
Calamity Dragon clearly felt the burning hot, boiling energy inside Devil Kieran slowly calming down.
“Hahahaha! Your atavism time is up right!? So what if you have the Devil Overlord bloodline? Champion’s Quality? You are still not a pure Devil Over-... Huh!?”
Calamity Dragon laughed delightedly, but halfway through, it stopped abruptly.
It felt the burning hot, boiling bloodline energy boil again to its peak, as though a brewing volcano was erupting.
The energy it felt was at its peak, at its prime!
Calamity Dragon’s perception caused it to growl in disbelief.
“How is this possible? How did you do it? You monster! How did you defy the limits?”
The air shook, its voice echoed throughout the battlefield.
Kieran stayed quiet and swung out the beheader sword once more.
He would never tell his enemy about what he just did. He had a Talent, a Talent that he acquired from his limit break dungeon: The Warden!
[The Warden] granted him weak spots immune, priority in any kind of authentication able to refresh the cooldown of a single skill!
Although [The Warden] didn’t quite stand out during normal times, it was the key that turned the tide of the battle during crucial times, much like now!
Calamity Dragon’s eyelid was charred by the repeated fiery slashes and when [Authentication Advantage] came into play, the fiery sword finally left a cut on the eyelid.
It was just a small cut but it was enough to frighten Calamity Dragon.
“Stop! Let’s... Aaaaargh!”
Calamity Dragon said loudly, but it quickly screamed in pain.
The flaming sword stabbed into Calamity Dragon’s eyeball through the little cut, the tip of the sword damaging the eyeball.
The pain from the eye spread again, but compared to its Plague form, it was much more painful this time. However, the pain wasn’t the biggest concern, since Calamity Dragon once again felt a terrifying aura from Kieran.
It wasn’t the sun, it wasn’t the moon; the sun hasn’t risen, the moon had already set.
The darkness was abysmal, but the light was blinding.
Even though Calamity Dragon shut its eyes, it felt like dawn outside.
The light of dawn didn’t bring hope, it pushed Calamity Dragon into despair!
[Sword Type Enhance, Ruthless Beheader Flaming Sword!]
[Sword Skill Increase, Ruthless Beheader Flaming Sword!]
[Dawn Amplification, all attributes +3, Strength acquires extra +2!]
...
Although the increment of attributes wasn’t insignificant, it was a lot weaker when compared to the increment from Transform Devil. However, [Sword Type Enhance] and [Sword Skill Increase] granted qualitative increase to [Ruthless Beheader Flaming Sword].
[Ruthless Beheader Flaming Sword] was a real sword and a skill at the same time.
When both skills were used together on the sword, [Ruthless Beheader Flaming Sword]’s flame rose from rank IV to rank V, its sharpness rising from rank IV to rank VI!
Karooom!
The swirling flame around the blade rose, transforming into a sky-piercing fire pillar. Calamity Dragon’s eye was roasted instantly, the defensive eyelid, which Kieran had to cut multiple times to breakthrough, as weak as tofu now.
Tssss!
Devil Kieran did not swing his sword down, instead flying inside wielding the sword.
Pak!
The roasted eyeball burst upon impact.
Devil Kieran charged through the blood and flesh with his glaring beheader flaming sword, rapidly closing into Calamity Dragon’s brain.
As with any kind of being with a physical body, its brain was the biggest weak spot.
Whenever the brain got destroyed, the best outcome would be a damaged nerve system and the worse would be death. Calamity Dragon was no exception, in fact it was even more nervous than usual.
“Monster! You monster, get out of my head!” Calamity Dragon roared.
Scorching sensation roasted its head, the excruciating pain of his head being cut apart was never before felt.
Calamity Dragon panicked, it had never faced such dire situations before since its birth.
It controlled its own flesh, blood, and bones, in hopes of forming layers of defenses to block Devil Kieran from reaching its brain. The strengthened muscles were nothing in front of the beheader flaming sword, a single slash slicing away all the flesh. The bones were a little more troublesome, Kieran having to slash with his full might to breakthrough.
Despite the defenses of flesh and bone, Devil Kieran made his way to Calamity Dragon’s brain, little by little.
The Dragon’s Spirits on the ground flew up, disregarding the battle with the Devil Army and flying back into Calamity Dragon’s body, in hopes of stopping Kieran, but... it was an inadequate effort.
None of the Dragon’s Spirits were able to stop Kieran.
Besides that, the Dragon’s Spirits moved the battlefield onto Calamity Dragon’s body, the reincarnated dead would not stop as long as Devil Kieran’s order remained.
Every single one of them gushed into the eye socket and wreaked havoc inside Calamity Dragon.
It was at this time that three figures snuck out from the scale of Calamity Dragon silently.
“As expected of big brother.”
Sloth praised as he looked at the struggling Calamity Dragon stuck in the void breach.
He wasn’t just praising Kieran’s strength, he was also impressed by the pace of the battle and the precision of the settings.
The moment the enormous Calamity Dragon got stuck in the void breach, the end was decided.
If it was decisive enough to run away, it might be able to survive this, but should it hesitate... death would be its end!
Pride kept quiet, looking at Calamity Dragon and then Gluttony, who he and Sloth carried out.
Glutton’s stomach was as round as a ball, burps sounding endlessly, yet his eyes were glued to Calamity Dragon.
“Meat, meat, meat!” he muttered.
“Stop eating meat you stupid knucklehead, you will eat yourself to death! Big brother still needs our help later—this big fella is anxious, it will surely do something desperate!” Sloth face-palmed himself helplessly.
“Oh, oh.”
Gluttony nodded in grievance, unwillingly parting with Calamity Dragon and vanishing together with Pride and Sloth.
Devil Kieran finally made his way to Calamity Dragon’s brain. His sword managed to poke the brain.
Compared to the eyeball, the brain was softer but much bigger.
His blazing flames scorched the brain, producing a roasted brain smell. A slash from his beheader flaming sword only hurt the brain a little, not completely destroying the brain.
“I will KILL YOU! DIE! IF I can’t, I’ll drag you down to hell together!”
Calamity Dragon entered a frenzied state after its brain was damaged, arousing its soul and reversing its core energy.
A frenzy, rampant aura appeared on Calamity Dragon.
The Knight and Weapon Master, who had been watching the scene, were frightened.
“Run! Run back to the shelter! It’s going to self-destruct!” shouted the two senior superheroes.
The crowd quickly retreated, but as they were running away, they felt a shadow covering their head.
Everyone looked up instinctively and what they saw froze their escape.
Holy Shit!
What did they see?
A monster?
A monster over 5 km in size appeared under the night sky, casting a dark shadow over the escaping crowd.
Hundreds of thousands of limbs tore open the void.
An ancient King Beast from another dynasty descended into this world, answering its summon!
