Chapter 140 Ascension Ceremony (VII)

"Roar--"

Fine flashes of magical power flickered on the Dragon Vein Warlock's body, and his body expanded rapidly.

White smoke suddenly filled the air around them, and the smell of sulfur and saltpeter even overwhelmed the strong smell of blood, making people feel as if they were in the crater of a volcano. As the smoke dissipated, an eighteen-meter-long red dragon suddenly appeared in this underground world.

Duke Brad stopped chasing the white shark and looked at the red dragon, his scarlet eyes filled with anger.

"It's really you."

"Damn crawlers"

"Why, why do you keep obstructing me again and again!"

For the first time, the Vampire Duke put aside his pride and took it seriously. He had to know that the enemy in front of him was a real dragon!

In the main material plane, no one dares to take a giant dragon lightly, let alone a red dragon known as the darling of Tiamat and the leader of the five-colored evil dragons.

Cassius said nothing, but just breathed out a breath of fire.

"boom!"

Blazing flames flew towards the vampire.

Duke Brad was like a nimble bat, dodging and moving in the air.

Under his control, Alger rushed towards the red dragon. His eyes were lifeless and he roared as he swung the Everburning Greatsword at his current master.

"Domination of humans?"

Cassius recognized the spell immediately.

"Roar--"

The red dragon roared in a low voice, and invisible majesty emanated from its huge body. The suppression of its bloodline made Alger's body and even his soul tremble.

【Leader's Aura】

In an instant, Alger's eyes regained clarity.

Cassius ignored Alger who was still somewhat at a loss, and flapped his wings, letting out a terrifying dragon roar, and rushed forward with unstoppable momentum.

"Damn reptile."

Looking at the approaching red dragon, Duke Brad gritted his teeth, the rage in his scarlet eyes uncontrollable.

"I will let you understand what death is!"

For hundreds of years, no one had been able to stop him like this. And he had been preparing for this ascension for two centuries.

Duke Brad raised his arms with all his strength, and the darkness seemed to let out wails. Countless dark shadow tentacles suddenly rose from the ground, and the sky was filled with scarlet blood mist. Thousands of bats gathered like rolling dark clouds, surging up one after another, and another sea of ​​blood surged over.

The power that the vampire had accumulated for a hundred years erupted completely, turning almost everything within his sight into a sea of ​​blood and hell.

At this moment, he is the king here!

However, the scales of the red dragon suddenly turned into a dazzling golden red, and energy fragments floated around the dragon's body, like thousands of tiny satellites. And around his dragon's body, there was also flickering lightning, which kept making hissing sounds.

Just as the red dragon broke into the tide of blood mist, shadows, and bats, a dazzling light burst out and dispelled the incoming darkness.

Bats fell from the sky in large numbers and were turned into charcoal by the leaping lightning. Shadows were easily dispelled by energy fragments, and the blood mist was evaporated before it even got close.

"I never meant to hinder you."

"It's just that you're in my way, old bat."

The red dragon spewed out a sea of ​​flames, burning everything in its way, and the flames rushed towards the vampire.

"Even dragons must eventually meet their end!"

"And I am the eternal monarch!"

Duke Brad's pale face became more hideous, and his personality became more distorted after absorbing the power of original sin. "You should worship him!"

The surging sea of ​​blood was like a huge blood-red curtain, blocking the vampire in front of him and resisting the oncoming flames. The raging sea of ​​blood was overwhelming and surging towards the red dragon.

"A trick that can only scare mortals."

"Who gave you the confidence to attack a dragon with such a cheap method?"

Cassius rushed forward without hesitation, into the sea of ​​blood.

He opened his jaw slightly, and the powerful basal blood vessels transported the fire energy from all over his body to his lungs. Those hot fire elements accumulated in his lungs and throat, making his chest glow faintly like lava, and the gaps between his scales reflected the faint light of fire.

The smell of sulfur and saltpeter became stronger, and his huge dragon body was like an active volcano about to erupt.

[Extremely effective flame breath]

"boom!"

A pillar of incandescent fire spurted out from the red dragon's mouth, instantly piercing through the sea of ​​blood in front of it.

With a sizzling sound, wherever the flames reached, the sticky blood had already evaporated before it even got close. For a moment, the flames burned everything, and the air was filled with blood mist.

Cassius tilted his head slightly, controlling the column of fire to attack the vampire.

For the first time, a trace of panic flashed across Duke Brad's scarlet eyes.

Once hit head-on by such a terrifying flame, even if the vampire has an immortal nature and cannot be easily killed, it would probably be difficult to recover easily.

But Duke Brad still smiled grimly and yelled wildly: "It's useless, reptile."

"I am everywhere, I am immortal!"

Suddenly, the vampire turned into blood mist and merged himself into the sea of ​​blood, making it impossible for Cassius to attack his real body.

"Annoying guy."

"Since you are so good at running away, don't blame me for killing your whole family."

Cassius thought to himself.

Without hesitation, he turned around and began to attack the naked vampire spawn who were tied to the stone pillars and had no ability to fight back.

In an instant, the vampire derivative that was tied to the stone pillar and unable to move was engulfed by the incandescent flames. When the flames left, only the rocks melted by the high temperature remained, emitting thick steam and flowing out red magma.

Even the chains wrapped around the vampire melted into glowing red molten iron, flowing slowly.

Facts have once again proved that the "immortality" of vampire offspring is not as powerful as they boast, but has clear limits.

The Duke's second son, the symbol of rage, Etri Rackman, was completely destroyed.

He was a powerful berserker who should have provided "power" for Duke Brad's ascension, but at this moment he didn't even have time to wail, and didn't even have the chance to struggle, before he turned to ashes in the extreme flames.

"Do not--"

"My child..."

Duke Brad gathered into a human shape in the air, uttered a deep wail, and almost lost his mind.

After years of self-hypnosis, Duke Brad truly "loved" these children from the bottom of his heart. This kind of love meant that only by completely absorbing these derivatives into himself could their lives be completely fulfilled without any regrets.

The demise of Etri.

It also means that his ascension has failed.

Seeing the red dragon turning its head again, it was about to destroy the symbol of arrogance, his most beloved daughter, Alexia, with fire.

Duke Brad could no longer bear it. His scarlet eyes were filled with raging rage. He controlled endless blood mist and attacked the red dragon from the sky.

"Reptile, I want you dead!"

　I'll take a leave and make up for it tomorrow. I hit my head last night and I'm still a little dizzy now.
