Chapter 784: Chapter 132 Broken Eternal Night_2
Suddenly, the thunder accumulated in the night sky poured down, and a terrifying lightning bolt with a diameter of several meters carrying the majestic might of heaven struck towards the Red Dragon. The lightning rent the night sky, like a wound in the dark night curtain, and calling it divine punishment from the heavens would not be an overstatement.
“Boom!”
The thunder arrived belatedly, shaking heaven and earth with its astounding momentum, causing many of the Allied Soldiers on the ground to faint on the spot.
“Roar—-”
But Cassius was fearless, once again lifting his head high to let out a long howl, his will distorted reality, as a ferocious Dragon’s Maw and swirling Spell vortexes appeared above him, blocking the path of the lightning.
[Dragon’s Magic Reaving]
“Sizzle—-”
The thunder exploded, and the terrifying lightning was actually reaved by Cassius’s spell. The body of the Red Dragon was covered in lightning and electric arcs, the Eye of the Storm King flashing incessantly.
He repeated the operation just now, swallowing the lightning from heaven on the spot!
“The Lightning Element, a power similar to Divine Power of Order, also mixed with a part of the essence of Heavenly Mountain…”
Cassius licked his lips, feeling the pulsating lightning in his mouth, tasting it carefully.
This lightning was unprecedentedly powerful, far surpassing the horror within the Eye of the Storm King. Without the nullification and absorption by his spells, even Cassius couldn’t guarantee he’d remain unharmed if he took the strike head-on.
Surprised but still indifferent, Balachiel spoke, “Greedy Red Dragon, since you enjoy devouring spells, then come taste– the fury of heaven!”
He fully mobilized the authority of Heavenly Mountain, wielding the longsword bursting with electric light, commanding the entire sky enshrouded by the eternal night.
At this moment, the Monarch of Silver Heaven finally unveiled His boundless power!
The originally pitch-black night was illuminated by the brilliance of the thunder, now like daybreak, as countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking towards the direction of the Red Dragon incessantly, as if the entire world was roaring in anger.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Such an abundance of lightning, even Cassius could not devour them all.
Seeing this, the Red Dragon did not hesitate to flap its wings, transforming into a scarlet afterimage with terrifying speed granted by Agile as a Dragon, the Acceleration Spell, and the Aerial Maneuver Technique, weaving through the constantly bombarding lightning like a ghostly figure.
“Lord Balachiel, kill him!” Walter couldn’t help but clench his longsword and shout excitedly.
Even though he couldn’t participate in this offensive, just the sight of that detestable giant dragon being besieged was enough to satisfy him.
“Truly worthy of being the Master of Lucia!” Titus also exclaimed with genuine admiration.
Meanwhile, Cassius, borrowing Titus’s perspective, was secretly observing Balachiel’s actions, looking for weaknesses.
Balachiel raised his silver longsword high, with blinding lightning surrounding him, His voice resonant and unyielding: “Greedy Red Dragon, tremble under the wrath of Heaven, and you shall meet the end that befits an invader–Death!”
“Boom!”
The thunder continued to roar, the Heavenly Lightning was relentless and seemingly endless, forcing the Red Dragon to constantly dodge, without a moment’s rest.
But during this process, Cassius finally found the opponent’s weakness.
Balachiel was manipulating the authority of Heaven to create thunder. As long as the domain of Silver Heaven Lucia remains intact, the opponent would have a continuous supply of energy–just like the Ashen Empire’s Emperor within the Imperial Region.
To change this situation, Cassius had to completely break the Silver Heaven, stripping Balachiel of his home field advantage.
Thinking this, Cassius spread his wings, the [Wind of Bahamut] atop his head shining brightly, releasing a silver-white light that formed a hemispherical screen of light.
The Divine Power of Order temporarily held back the onslaught of the thunder, also providing the Red Dragon with a rare opportunity to catch his breath.
Cassius, feeling the abundant thunder energy within him, looked down on Balachiel with a ferocious smile: “These lightning bolts are quite nice… So, I will return them all to you!”
The Red Dragon suddenly flapped its wings, kicking up an incomparably fierce storm mixed with endless thunder.
However, this was not the end. Cassius opened his mouth and exhaled a black and red Breath of Chaos, mingling the dragonflame imbued with the essence of chaos into the storm.
Lightning and flame clashed incessantly, dancing wildly within that terrifying storm, forming a power capable of destroying everything.
At this moment, this was no longer merely a [Storm of Vengeance], but a [Destruction Storm] meticulously developed by Cassius, its might already breaking through the shackles of the Ninth Tier!
Balachiel raised his head, a trace of surprise emerging in his originally placid eyes, followed by an uncontrollable rage.
“Red Dragon, it seems I’ve still underestimated you–you dare to touch the source of chaos! Do you not understand its essence?!”
Facing that destructive storm mixed with thunder and flame, even Balachiel had to handle it with care, fortunately in the domain of Silver Heaven, He possessed an almost infinite strength.
Balachiel spread his feathered wings, blowing once more on that bright silver horn, the clear sound of the horn pouring forth along with star-like silver-white radiance.
[Order Barrier]
Those silver glows wrapped around them, gradually forming into regular polygonal walls, constructing an indestructible, order-breathing Silver Fortress in the air.
This fortress was a projection of Balachiel’s residence on Heavenly Altar Mountain, sufficient to withstand any force of chaos.
“Shhh–”
The sound of wind whistling, lightning flashing, thunder rolling, and flames scattering. Beneath the terror of the storm, all things are annihilated, the only thing remaining undisturbed is the Order Barrier, its silver-white radiance continuously neutralizing the external assaults.
At that moment, Balachiel’s expression changed dramatically, realizing that something was amiss.
He put down the horn, and urgently said, “This is bad, his target isn’t us, but my Heavenly Domain!”
However, at this moment, it was too late to turn things around. Seeing his purpose revealed, Cassius became even more unrestrained.
“Remember–”
No one can stop the march of the Empire, nor can they obstruct my path!”
Alongside the arrogant roars of the Red Dragon, the scale of the Destruction Storm amassed and expanded, rapidly sweeping the skies while the magical reactions within the storm intensified.
The abilities of the casting professions, True Dragon Sorcerer and Elemental Master, the power of Karex’s bloodline, at this moment, were fully unleashed.
The howling wind ruthlessly swept up the dimly glowing flowers and grasses in the domain of Silver Heaven.
The dark red Chaos Dragon Flame swallowed all the stars and Bright Moon in the sky, causing the angels fluttering in the mid-air to perish in screams, and the visions of distant sanctuaries and fortresses to be utterly extinguished.
And the terrifying thunder fell in unison, fracturing the thick ground composed of Order Source Power, the majestic and magnificent Holy Mountain, and tearing the eternal night sky into shreds.
Everything was being destroyed, everything was collapsing, the entire world created by Balachiel was wailing heartbreakingly, even affecting the true Heavenly Mountain in the Outer Planes.
The soldiers on the ground looked up again, the night sky that once covered the heavens had shattered! The miraculously descended Silver Heaven, had collapsed!
In the gaze of countless onlookers from below, that enormous Red Dragon was violently thrashing its giant claws, brutally tearing the celestial veil apart, allowing sunlight to once again shine down.
“No one can stop me!”
Cassius roared ferociously: “If Hell stands before me, then I will shatter Hell and sink it into The Abyss; if Heavenly Mountain hinders me, I will topple the Holy Mountain and cause Heaven to fall to the earth!”
Dark clouds shrouded the faces of Balachiel, Walter, and Titus, their expressions dimmed.
The Imperial Soldiers worshipped with utmost reverence, overwhelmed by the might of the Ashen Emperor, with even many of the Allied Soldiers kneeling.
–For the image of the Red Dragon tearing the night veil and bringing back the light, was much like how they envisioned the incarnation of Amanata.
And Grandmaster Zalan with his head raised towards that spectacle thought with despair: “Gods… who are we really up against?”
