Chapter 262: Balor Flame Demon's Burning Explosion
“Hahahaha! Red Dragon, I can feel it. The abyss is watching me. My revenge is about to succeed!”

“Ascend, sublime!”

The fallen giant laughed wildly, although he looked quite miserable at the moment.

His whole body was shaking, and dazzling yellow light burst out from his eyes and ears. The cracks in his skin were getting bigger and bigger, and faint light from the abyss could be seen through them, spreading out rolling black mist.

A chaotic and spectacular force destroys its body and reshapes it.

Finally, surrounded by black fog, the giant tore off his original skin and flesh, took out his complicated internal organs, and completely abandoned his original identity as a frost giant. He turned himself into nutrients to nourish the abyss, and then used the most chaotic abyss energy to construct a new body - a demon.

That is pure evil.

The giant, or demon, had wings of flesh spread out from his back and horns growing from his head.

His body was bright red, like exposed flesh.

He waved his arms lightly, and with his right hand he drew out a giant whip burning with chaotic flames from the void, and with his left hand he took out a crackling storm sword from the chaos.

"Casius, I will kill you."

The devil grinned and spoke word by word.

His face showed endless hatred and rage.

Just like the famous "Ship of Theseus" paradox, after all his body parts were replaced with abyss matter, the former Comman may have completely disappeared, and his current existence is just a new demon that retains Comman's memories.

【Newborn Balrog - Coman】

Challenge Rating: 18 (20000xp)
Cassius stared at the reborn demon in front of him.

"Balor Flame Demon?"

The Balrog is the most powerful demon in the Abyss except for those strange lords. As the representative of ancient and terrifying evil, they lead the demon army and are the pinnacle that every demon soldier aspires to reach.

The energy in the body of the Balrog in front of him was extremely unstable, like a bomb that could explode at any time. It was most likely a temporary form created by sacrificing lives - it was not as powerful as the real Balrog in the abyss.

But even so, the existence behind Coman that can give the fallen giant temporary power of the Balrog is by no means simple.

Maybe even a demon lord.

This also made Cassius a little alert. He did not take this newborn Balrog seriously, but the demon lord who controlled everything behind the scenes, the "Demon of Vengeance", was a mysterious and extremely dangerous existence to him.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Red Dragon, are you scared?"

The Balrog roared and swung out his flaming whip, trying to wrap it around the red dragon's neck.

Under normal circumstances, once the flaming whip hits the enemy, he can use his powerful physical strength to pull the opponent towards his flaming body and attack at will.

Unfortunately, the enemy he faced was not an ordinary person.

Cassius grasped the flaming whip easily, with a strange look on his face.

"Has the turbulent currents of the abyss damaged your brain?
"You actually dared to compete with a red dragon in fire and power?"

The Balrog clenched the whip tightly and tried to pull it out, but no matter how hard he tried, the flaming whip did not move at all.

The other end was firmly grasped by the red dragon's huge claws.

The blazing flames that were extremely dangerous to mortals were nothing to Cassius, not even as dangerous as the aftermath of his sleep.

"What a ridiculous method."

Instead, it was Cassius who suddenly exerted force.

The Balrog was caught off guard, and under the terrible force, he was dragged in front of the red dragon.

"Casius, you are seeking death!"

The Balrog roared, and the storm sword in his left hand was wrapped in lightning, and he slashed straight at the red dragon's neck.

However, the surface of the red dragon was pulsating with denser arcs of electricity, and the lightning from the storm sword was directly absorbed by his [Body of Storm Echoes], which allowed him to summon even more powerful thunder.

Suddenly, thunderbolt struck from the clear sky.

"boom!"

The Balrog was struck so hard that his entire body was shaking and charred.

Cassius clenched the flaming whip in his hand, suddenly threw the Balrog into the air, and then slammed it hard to the ground.

"boom!"

"Is this what you call revenge?"

The corner of Cassius' mouth twitched slightly. The Balrog in front of him controlled fire and thunder, which was very similar to his ability, but each one was much weaker than him - it was like a natural sandbag specially made for him. While he was talking, Cassius' hands did not stop moving.

The red dragon's muscles were tense, and he smashed the Balrog to the ground again and again, even creating several human-shaped pits on the ground.

"enough!"

The Balrog finally untied the whip that was wrapped around his hands and broke free from the predicament of being beaten endlessly.

He struggled to get up from the ground, with uncontrollable anger in his eyes.

This is a complete humiliation!
His enemy, the red dragon, was simply treating him as a plaything!

As the top demon in the abyss, Balor has more abilities than just these.

Coman subconsciously wanted to utter blasphemous words, but when he thought that the red dragon in front of him was most likely a chaotic evil being, he stopped with gritted teeth. He didn't want to be easily controlled by the other party again.

"I will grant you the madness of the abyss!"

Then, a frenzied abyssal light was released from the eyes of the Balrog, and he used his innate spell-like abilities.

[Soul-stealing]

This spell contains the frenzied spirit of the abyss. If you are hit by it, your perception will be halved, and there is a high probability that you will fall into complete madness. This spell is only cast by the Balor when facing a powerful enemy that is difficult to defeat.

However, before he could release his spell-like ability, a glimmer of illusion appeared in Cassius' eyes.

[Tiamat's Horrifying Vision]

Suddenly, a terrifying dragon with five colors and five heads appeared in front of the Balrog, letting out an earth-shaking roar, and flames, frost, acid, and lightning poured out of its five heads.

"No, that's impossible."

"You can't summon a true god!"

The Balrog gritted his teeth. Even though he had seen through the illusion, those horrible spews had already materialized in his mind, causing all kinds of scars to appear on his huge and twisted body.

When the illusion fades away——

Cassius has appeared in front of the Balrog.

The dragon crystal on his chest flashed with dazzling light, white smoke spewed out of his vents, and a column of blazing white high-temperature fire came out of his mouth.

However, this was not the end. The red dragon's jaw opened even wider, and two rows of brilliant flame tails emerged from its neck and tail. The dragon crystal on its chest was filled with the light of flames, and the blazing white column of fire went further, and its outer flame actually had a slight blue tint.

That's an extremely effective flame breath!

"boom!"

Within a few breaths, the pillar of fire pierced through the chest of the Balrog and evaporated his beating evil heart.

Although he was also extremely resistant to fire, the red dragon's extremely effective breath was far beyond his tolerance.

Balrog looked at the red dragon unwillingly, his eyes full of hatred.

"no no"

"It shouldn't be like this."

His body shook violently and he raised his arms slightly, trying to use the last of his strength to entangle the enemy. However, his life was like a candle in the wind and his body was almost exhausted.

Cassius simply took a few steps back nimbly and directly cast the dragon spell [Egg of Shelter], creating a dragon egg-shaped extra-dimensional space, and then disappeared into the main material plane in the flickering light of the spell.

"Do not--"

"My revenge has not yet stopped, come back to me!"

The Balrog let out a heart-wrenching roar, his eyes filled with despair.

His mouth, nose, and eyes all emitted extremely dazzling flashes of light, which continued to flicker until eventually it spread all over his body. His huge, ferocious body looked like a time bomb.

The next moment, the death of the Balrog caused an extremely terrifying explosion.

"boom!"

Along with a deafening roar, the terrifying high temperature annihilated everything around. Be it demons, rocks, trees or anything else, they were all turned to ashes in this catastrophic explosion. Half of the hillside was razed to the ground, and the fire of the abyss burned fiercely on the white ground.

The powerful air current spread for miles, and its force caused the mountains of Anstika to shake and tremble.

This is the [Burning Explosion], the most spectacular phenomenon caused by the death of the Balor, and the most grand fireworks set off by a great demon with his life.

However, this grand fireworks display lacked the most important audience. The target of revenge was very foresighted and went to another dimension that was difficult to reach early on.
