Ashen Dragon

Zareel, enraged beyond measure, swung the Hell Steel Chains in his hand, producing a sharp clanging sound, "You bunch of useless fools, all of you, go! Stop that Red Dragon!"

"Roar——"

The three Prison Fire Ancient Dragons let out deep, muffled growls. Their souls were controlled by the Hell Steel Chains, making it hard to resist Zareel's command, even if it meant certain death.

Immediately after, hundreds of Purgatory Demon Dragons wrapped in chains roared and surged forward towards Cassius like moths to a flame.

Just then, a clear female voice rang out amidst the chaotic battlefield.

"Cassius, don't worry about those Hellish Evil Dragons, we will block them for you!"

Only to see a slender and gracefully postured Silver Dragon soaring high in the sky, spewing icy Breath that froze — it was Olivia's true form.

Behind her, the space flickered, the Magic Web fluctuated, and dozens of Silver Dragons flapped their wings and surged out from the portal, letting out ferocious roars.

Their broad wings glimmered brightly, their silver scales shining with majesty, making them quite conspicuous on this mottled battlefield.

"Good day, Your Majesty Cassius, we sensed the Material Plane is being invaded by Hell — the Melwood Clan has come to aid."

An enormous female Ancient Silver Dragon holding a Scepter in her claws nodded slightly at Cassius from afar, showing a respectful but neither humble nor arrogant demeanor.

The Silver Dragon wielded the Scepter, a frigid silver star descended from the heavens, striking the Prison Fire Ancient Dragon, causing it to let out a cry of agony.

She was Imelda, one of the "Three Pillars" of the Melwood Clan, primarily responsible for resisting the invasion from the Hell Plane, and had once destroyed the Steel Duke Disparte's conspiracy.

"For the Material Plane!"

"Bahamut above, send these damned devils back to hell!"

Dragon's breath interwove with flames, the Silver Dragons let out resounding roars, flapping their Dragon Wings and stood forth, engaging the incoming Devil Army in fierce battle.

Yet, these Silver Dragons were unaware that the Prison Fire Ancient Dragons inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly delighted — for battling with Melwood Silver Dragons is far preferable than blocking that star of dreadful aura.

Cassius nodded distantly towards the Ancient Silver Dragon, then quickly flapped his Dragon Wings, once again whipping up a scorching storm, turning into a phantom as he rushed towards Zareel.

The Devil Army led by Deep Prison Demon Refiners were exceedingly cunning and perceptive, resorting to shooting arrows and casting spells from afar, rarely daring to stand before the Red Dragon.

But the Red Dragon sneered, casually swung its massive claw, sending out blazing white Pillars of Fire that swept through and instantly incinerated thousands of devils into ashes, turning them to dust.

If more time was available to Cassius, he could completely slaughter the devil army descending upon the Material Plane, but alas, time was pressing — his primary mission was to halt Zareel.

With that thought, Cassius summoned his retainers through the mental bond, then tucked in his wings, diving at full speed towards Zareel in the distance.

Space distorted, flames surged, "Dragon Fire Maiden" Misha suddenly appeared behind Cassius, along with dozens of Dragon Pact Sorcerers clad in crimson gold robes.

"Destroy them, clear the obstacles for our master!"

She unfurled the Dragon Wings behind her, raised her slender hand, and torrents of Dragonflame erupted from her palm, instantly devouring hundreds of devil soldiers.

But soon, a Deep Prison Demon Refiner roared, swinging a Hell Longsword, tearing through space, fiercely cleaving towards Misha's head.

"Swish——"

The Hell Longsword swung down, yet Misha turned her body into a blazing fire elemental, flickered, and appeared hundreds of meters away, re-forming into a human shape.

"Roar——"

Just then, a Dragon's Roar echoed across the sky, a terrifying Dragon's Might descended, even startling the Deep Prison Demon Refiner, leaving him momentarily dazed.

In the distant sky, Alger led hundreds of Red Scale Conquerors diving down like a scarlet torrent, their synchronized Dragon Roars enough to make Ancient Dragons tremble.

"For His Majesty Cassius!"

"Charge!"

Seeing such a great opportunity, Misha pointed from afar, a dark green ray shot from her fingertip, destroying all the magical defenses on the Deep Prison Demon Refiner, dimming the Hell Iron forged armor.

"Sizzle——"

Seizing the momentum of the charge, Alger slashed his sword, the blade light slashing the sky, dark red blood spurted from the neck, and a devil's head with a face of shock fell from the air.

The 27th Legion Commander under Zareel, a recently promoted powerful Deep Prison Demon Refiner, met his end!

"Enforce order with an iron fist, the Dragon Lord above all!"

The wasteland resonated with resounding battle cries, Dragon Favored Paladins clad in heavy armor marched steadily, with the Imperial War Banner fluttering proudly in the air.

A collective will conjured red dragon illusion appeared above them, roaring angrily, ready to tear apart anything that dared to provoked this source of power.

Under the blessing of Group Flight Magic, the Dragon Favored Paladins left the ground, marching steadily into the sky, like an indestructible fortress in the air, their heavy armor glistening under the glow of flames.

At this moment, to aid their mutual master, the empire's three special forces gathered, jointly countering the Devil Army.

In the distance, artillery fire roared, the empire's airships and heavy artillery continually fired upon Zareel's subordinates' Devil Army, with the Melwood Clan's Silver Dragons bolstering as reinforcements.
