Chapter 794: Chapter 145: The End of Dragon Breath_2

The resplendent light of heaven burst forth, those powers embodying the essence of order coalesced, forming silver polygons of rules, eventually constructing a fortress shimmering with light.

The fortress stood a hundred meters tall, extravagantly decorated, its walls filled with divine murals and the luster of stars.

[Immortal Fortress]

It was the projection of Balachiel’s abode, a product of the purest forces of heavenly order, capable of easily withstanding the assault of the Abyssal Lord.

In the Abyssal invasion thousands of years ago, it was riding this glorious fortress that Balachiel crushed the frenzied demons, banishing those chaotic evil beings back to The Abyss.

And now, it has been released by Balachiel, to defend against Cassius’s [Breath of Chaos].

“Boom!”

With a thunderous bang from the sky and the air bursting apart, the dark crimson pillar of fire finally struck the Immortal Fortress.

Evil and good, chaos and order, two forces of completely opposite nature collided, grinding against each other, compressing and instantly creating a terrifying explosion that covered half of the sky.

The dark crimson flames interwove with light, the chaotic energy released from them even swept across the land, mercilessly destroying magical equipment, causing mages to wail endlessly.

Cassius continued to proudly breathe out flames, but at the same time, he also flapped his wings, stirring up scorching winds, and rose into the air, closing in on the radiant fortress in the high skies.

The chaos surge in his chest grew more intense, and the dark crimson pillar of fire from his mouth thicker. The chaos flames almost enveloped the sky, forming a vast vortex of fire.

“Awoo—-”

That thunderous roar sent shivers down people’s spines, striking fear deep into their souls.

Cassius’s eyes shone fiercely, filled with the desire for slaughter and destruction, the surface of his scales faintly glowing with bloodlight, evidently triggered by a [Bloodscaled Fury].

At that moment, the Emperor of the Ashen Empire was overwhelming, as if Karex himself had descended to incinerate all things in this world and forge a new era for giant dragons.

Seeing such formidable might, the people of the Ashen Empire shouted with fanatic faces, cheering and waving their weapons as if they had already foreseen the impending victory.

After all, that is the Emperor of the Ashen Empire. During the Empire’s rise over the past decade, he has never been defeated, already becoming a symbol of victory.

“Long live His Majesty Cassius!”

“Invincible in battle!”

“This is our supreme monarch! This is the Emperor of the Ashen Empire!”

Within the same ranks of the Ashen Empire’s army, a silver-haired girl also looked up at the sky, her delicate hands clenched in front of her chest, her face full of worry.

“Cassius, I hope you… won’t be bewitched by that power again.”

Now the Red Dragon involuntarily reminded her of the world-shocking “Battle of the Twin Dragons.”

During that battle, to overcome her grandfather Osedro, Cassius had also used this special Chaos Spit, but lost control midway. Olivia had almost risked her life to awaken him.

And now, Cassius stood at the pinnacle of the Material Plane, struggling against the Lord of Heaven, but Olivia did not even have the qualification to approach the battlefield; she would be swallowed by the powerful aftermath if she got too close.

Thinking this, Olivia could only close her eyes, bring her hands together, and silently pray.

She prayed that Cassius would emerge victorious without losing his sanity, that this land and its people would end their suffering, and that the Ashen Empire would establish a new order as Cassius had spoken…

“Boom–”

The collision in the high sky continued unabated, the Chaos Flame growing ever more fierce, yet unable to penetrate the barrier of radiance.

The most extreme Order, the purest Chaos, grew and waned in turn, continuously clashing, sparks and flecks of light erupting in the sky, even the remnants were enough to kill a mature giant dragon.

Above Balachiel’s head, the “Sword of Damocles” suspended in the sky became increasingly vast and solid, the runes on its blade lighting up as if it was about to deliver its judgment and execute the Red Dragon.

Behind Balachiel, the Light Wheel shone brighter as it fluttered its six enormous feathers, looking down upon the approaching Red Dragon with a majestic rebuke: “Cassius, cease your futile struggle, and prepare to accept judgment!

The Red Dragon is indeed a slave to power, and someone like you who has devoted themselves to the chaos of the Abyss–should be completely eradicated!”

“Boom–”

However, the response was an even more intense Breath, an even more turbulent torrent of Chaos Flame.

Cassius flapped his Dragon Wings, continuing to rise until he was only a few hundred meters from the Immortal Fortress: “You think I’ve become a slave to the Abyss? Utterly ludicrous! I am the master of power!”

“Every arrogant being seduced by the Abyss believes they are the master! Yet in the end, all become pitiful puppets, and you are no exception!” Balachiel scoffed, continuing to unleash the power of Heaven, reinforcing his defenses.

The collision between Chaos and Order grew increasingly astonishing, the dark red flames filled the sky, continuously eroding and washing over the Immortal Fortress.

Balachiel fixed his gaze on the Red Dragon, his eyes filled with resolute intent to kill: “It’s useless! Just as darkness cannot suppress light, Chaos can never overcome Order!”

“Is that so?”

At that moment, Cassius beat his wings and revealed a mocking smile: “In that case–what if I also possess the power of Order?”

“What?”

Balachiel furrowed his brows, not understanding for a moment, even suspecting that the Red Dragon had gone mad under the Will of the Abyss.

Order and Chaos, two forces of completely different nature, how can they coexist in the same entity?

However, a star-like light suddenly emerged from the Dragon Crystal on Cassius’s chest, intermingling and clashing with the Chaos Flame within, his gaze becoming clear again, and the surface of his scales began to emit a faint light.

Immediately after, the Red Dragon opened its mouth, a glint flickering in its pupils, and a silvery white flame surged from deep within its throat.

[Order Returning Breath]

The outer layer symbolized the chaotic disorder of the Chaos Flame, while the inner layer symbolized the absolute order of the silvery white flame. The two merged together to form a unique Breath imbued with complex laws.

“Boom–”

The nature of the Immortal Fortress was similar to an Eighth Tier Spell [Order Shield], capable of withstanding all attacks with the essence of chaos, but unable to prevent those with similar nature from entering.

In an instant, before Balachiel could react, the silvery white inner flame pierced the fortress walls, followed closely by the dark red outer flame, also pouring into the fortress.

Balachiel’s expression changed suddenly, shouting in shock and fury: “Impossible! How do you possess such power!”
