Ashen Dragon

"Ash Dragon Swarm! Surround this demon!"

"Roar—"

Under the command of the Empire officer, hundreds of bipedal wyverns roared fiercely, flapping their wings and attacking Barlow Flame Demon from different directions.

"Die! You dare to insult my master!"

White Dragon Tiniya also mingled among the dragons. She spread her frost-white wings in the sky, flying towards with bared fangs and claws.

"Foolish reptiles..."

However, Leo only growled softly, disdainfully watching the encircling dragons as he slowly opened his ghastly maw, which emitted white smoke and flames.

Suddenly, twisted whispers, desperate shrieks, and furious roars erupted from it.

These discordant sounds echoed in the sky, making every creature listening shudder—this was the murmur of the Abyss, the whisper of blasphemy!

Blasphemy!

Instantly, the hundreds of bipedal wyverns looked up, shook their heads, and unleashed painful wails.

They flapped their wings in chaos, trying to maintain flight, but under the influence of this terrible sound, many bipedal wyverns lost consciousness and fell directly from the sky.

"Damn, what is this?"

Tiniya flew unsteadily high in the air, her expression extremely pained, her teeth almost crushed.

Eventually, she also plummeted beside, her massive dragonic body crashing into the hillside nearby, causing soil and rocks to scatter.

"Charge! Dragon's Roar Charge!"

Several Red Scale Conquerors circled in the sky, passing through the hurricane and diving at Barlow Flame Demon.

"Red Scale Conquerors?"

"More of these annoying flies..."

However, the enormous demon merely glanced up slightly, then raised the crackling Storm Giant Sword in his hand and swung it casually.

"Boom!"

Columns of lightning, as thick as wrists, descended from the sky, instantly engulfing the Wyvern Knights in dazzling thunder.

The next moment, bodies charred black, emitting blue smoke, fell from the sky, the wyverns and knights fused as one, their original forms indiscernible.

"Monster Immobilization Spell!"

"Purifying Arrow!"

"Crown of Stars!"

Dozens of Imperial spellcasters simultaneously raised their magic wands, releasing various spells targeted at the demon.

Bright and dazzling lights filled the sky—magic spheres, rays, Holy Flame, chains, and over a hundred other spells flew towards Barlow Flame Demon.

Meanwhile, as the spell beacon marked Barlow Flame Demon's position, the Empire's rear artillery corps had already targeted the beacon and began bombarding.

"Whoosh—"

Accompanied by the shrieking sound of artillery tearing through the air, powerful armor-piercing shells, high-explosive bombs, thermo-baric bombs rained down like droplets.

Their trajectories intersected in the sky, forming concentrated firepower at one spot.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Instantly, flames from the explosions soared into the sky, intertwining with the colorful radiance of the spells, creating a splendid glow.

A massive mushroom cloud rose, scorching winds swept across the land, and terrifying aftershocks made the ground tremble as billowing smoke enveloped the sky.

The Empire's soldiers, officers, and spellcasters looked up anxiously, watching the roiling gray smoke in the sky.

"It... should be dead now."

"Is it over?"

"Yes, it must be so! There's no way any creature could survive such an explosion!"

"Cassius above... such a monster should not exist in this world."

The Imperial kin still felt the lingering fear, many feeling weak at the knees.

After all, the oppressive force that Barlow Flame Demon had exuded was too strong. The Empire's prized war machines seemed so feeble in front of this horrifying demon.

In just minutes, Barlow Flame Demon had caused tens of thousands of casualties, destroyed several steam tanks, and killed numerous terrain Dragon Beasts.

Lonely as Snow looked up at the smoke that blocked the sun, murmuring to himself, "Something's not right, according to the smoke-without-damage rule..."

Sure enough, a low sneer first came from the sky, then the sound grew louder and turned into wild laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Weak spells, ridiculous toys, is this all you have?"

Suddenly, the smoke surged, and a massive dark silhouette emerged, finally revealing its true form—crimson skin, muscular demonic body, towering horns, it was Barlow Flame Demon!

At this moment, his body was enveloped in a black membrane, turbulent with the utmost chaotic Abyssal Power, easily annihilating all spells and explosions.

Leo continued to laugh wildly, flapping his enormous wings and stirring up scorching winds as he flew up high, looking down at the host of Imperial kin with eyes intoxicated by power.

"Do you see?

"This is the might of the Abyss! And you—are not fit to be my enemies!"

"Death—"

Barlow Flame Demon bellowed, flapping his wings and swinging the Storm Giant Sword wildly in the sky.

"Boom!"

The sound of thunder echoed across the wasteland as a thunderstorm danced in the clouds, instantly engulfing the hundreds of bipedal wyverns in the sky.

"Destruction—"

He roared again, swinging the Flame Whip on the ground, creating deep, ferocious cracks.

Streams of Abyssal Fire ran rampant on the land, turning thousands of Imperial soldiers and Starfallens into ashes.

Barlow Flame Demon continued to fly forward with successive explosions and blazing lights, ruthlessly destroying everything in its path.

He suddenly raised his weapon in hand, the Flame Whip wound around the Storm Giant Sword, gathering strength in the sky.
