Another towering peak several thousand meters high rises from the ground, piercing the sky, as if to connect the sky and the earth. The snow on the top of the mountain sparkles with cold silver light in the sun.

And here is the highest peak of the Anstika Mountains - Mount Thierry, which is revered by Scandinavians as the "King of Snow Mountains".

"call--"

The cold wind blew through the valley, making a sharp whistling sound.

In the rolling mountains where snow never melts all year round, the wind is howling and the snow is flying all over the sky, as if to bury the whole world in pure white and coldness.

Suddenly, boiling steam surged out, black and red tongues of flame raged in the air, and tore a hideous space crack at the foot of the mountain.

The snow covering the mountain was melted by the sudden high temperature, first turning into flowing snow water and then into white smoke.

And in the midst of billowing smoke, the huge, bruised body of the Fire Demon emerged from the void - it was Leo Bossk.

"huh, huh"

"Finally, I finally escaped."

At this moment, the Balrog was panting, his tone filled with excitement and nervousness.

He looked towards the north with lingering fear, towards the direction he had escaped from.

"Casius"

Leo couldn't help but utter the name that had long become his nightmare, and a look of fear appeared on that red face again.

But soon, he bit his teeth hard, making a "crunching" sound.

The flesh wings on his back trembled violently, and the veins on his sturdy arms that were clenching the Storm Sword bulged. The expression of the Balor Flame Demon became more ferocious and angry.

"Casius, that damn reptile, killed me eleven times in front of millions of people!
"Eleven times!"

"I will chop off his head, peel off his scales, cut off his wings, tear off his tail—"

The Balrog spread his wings, roared to the sky, and the burning flames of revenge burst out of his eyes.

The devil's anger caused terrible visions in the surroundings. Streams of boiling magma and scorching fire surged in the mountains, and countless water vapors rose up.

"No, no, I just need to wait. The red dragon will come to me on his own.

Until then, I will just have to watch my enemies being dragged into the abyss, haha."

Leoqi's breathing was heavy, and a strange smile that he could hardly suppress appeared on his face. The corners of his mouth were stretched to his ears, and smoke was billowing everywhere.

Suddenly, Balor noticed something strange and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Wait, this is—

He came so quickly?"

A tremendous heat wave swept over, and an invisible pressure covering an area of ​​a thousand miles descended, making Leo feel his heart sink.

The mountains were shaking slightly, as if they were worshipping the existence in the air.

"Thorn-"

The Balrog suddenly raised his head, and saw tongues of fire raging in the sky. Several giant claws pierced through the space, clinging to both sides of the burning crack, and then easily tore the sky apart.

First there is the huge and majestic head, then the thick neck, then the broad dragon wings, strong limbs, and the spine that is as winding and undulating as a mountain range.
"Roar--"

Finally, accompanied by a loud dragon roar, a red dragon over 40 meters long flapped its wings, stirring up a scorching gale, and appeared above the mountains.

Cassius looked down at the mountains with his light golden vertical pupils, and stared down at the Balrog at his feet with an extremely indifferent look in his eyes.

"Leo Bosque, is this the place you chose for your own death?"

Leo looked up at the red dragon in the sky, his demon body trembling violently with extreme fear and excitement.

The Balrog tried his best to suppress his inner fear and said in a hoarse voice, "Hahahaha! That's great, that's great!
Arrogant red dragon, you are here just as I expected! You are so arrogant that you didn't even think that I would defeat you - or even kill you, right?"

Cassius looked at him coldly without saying anything, as if he agreed with this statement.

Leo's tone became more and more angry, and his cloudy eyes were full of hatred: "Cassius, I know that you have never regarded me as an equal opponent since a few years ago.
"But it is this pride that ruined you and led you to a fate that is doomed to death! You fell into the trap!"

The Balrog opened his arms, spread his ugly flesh wings, and roared towards the sky with a fanatical look, as if he had tasted the sweetness of revenge.

Complex, evil magic circles appeared on the chest and back of this demon, emitting a deep, dim light, and the whispers of the abyss surrounded it.

"In the blood and fire, the voice of despair is crying out"

"They cut off their own heads and held them high in the air, tears of blood flowing from their hollow eyes"

"And He brings the fire of vengeance, the poem of the end, and all things are..."

Behind the Balrog, the sky suddenly became dark, dark clouds blocked the sun, and violent hurricanes rose in the mountains.

"So, Cassius, please allow me to introduce you to the demon lord of the 567th floor of the Abyss, the great demon of vengeance—"

"what!"

Before Leo could finish his words, the huge red figure appeared in front of him, and its sharp claws swung down suddenly, piercing his chest cleanly.

In an instant, purple-black blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the hot, beating heart was pinched in the red dragon's claws, while Leo's face still maintained an extremely excited expression.

He exhausted his last strength and said with a smile: "Kay, Cassius, it's useless. I will not die.
I want to witness it all with my own eyes, and watch you die in front of me, this is my revenge."

But this time, the energy of the abyss did not surge towards him and revive him, but ruthlessly abandoned him and gathered towards the sky, forming a terrible vortex.

Leo's face suddenly became distorted, revealing an expression of disbelief and extreme fear: "No, no, how can this be possible?
Cassius sneered, stepped on the dying Balrog with his claws, looked down at him, and taunted him mercilessly: "Leo Bosco, it seems that you have lost your usefulness.

Look, even your master in the abyss has given up on you, his loyal dog."

The Balrog suddenly burst out with power. He struggled, roared, and argued with a red face: "No! Master Jelrazax said that I represent His will. I am immortal."

The heart held in Cassius's claws was beating violently, constantly pumping out dirty purple-black blood, with flickering flames showing through it.

The heart is the core of every Balrog, and it contains endless fire from the abyss, which can keep the body of the Balrog burning forever.

But now, this heart was held in the claws of the red dragon, looking so fragile.

"No, you can't kill me, I am a noble representative"

"boom!!"

Cassius crushed the heart cleanly, and the body of the Balrog turned into scattered ashes in an instant. Normally, when a Balrog dies, its heart will immediately explode in a dazzling flash, devouring everything within a radius of hundreds of meters.

"Boom!"

With a dull sound, Cassius grasped the explosion in his claws and forcibly suppressed the explosion. Dazzling beams of light shone through his fingers.

Leo Bossk, the former Grand Duke of the North and later Commander of the Abyss, died in the claws of a red dragon without causing any ripples.

"Tsk, pathetic northern nobles, they still overestimate their own capabilities.

The nobles of the North always think that the world revolves around them, but in reality, they are just cannon fodder in other people's chess games."

Cassius looked at the ashes and dust flowing out from between his fingers and sighed.

"Next, it's your turn.
Jelrazax."

The red dragon flapped its wings and raised its head solemnly, with tension and anticipation intertwined in its light golden pupils.

The snow-capped mountains in the distance were still towering, but the energy from the abyss gathered into clusters of turbulence, forming a huge vortex with a diameter of several thousand meters, and the dark sky almost covered the mountains.

"Roar--"

Overlapping, noisy and chaotic roars came from the vortex of the abyss, echoing among the mountains, making all things tremble from the soul.

This is the power of the abyss, the origin of the universe, the most chaotic and disordered existence that destroys everything.

Cassius narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression became heavier, and even revealed a hint of suspicion, because he sensed something unusual.

"Is this the pressure from the Ancestral Dragon?"

Yes, that's Long Wei.

Cassius releases this aura all the time, and every drop of hot blood flowing in his blood vessels will produce this kind of pressure.

And now, the pressure felt by the Red Dragon seemed to come from the same source as him, and was even stronger than his own dragon power, and even made him vaguely feel a bit of "blood suppression".

This was something Cassius had never experienced before. You know, with his current status, there were very few dragons that could make him feel this way.

"Could it be——"

Cassius' pupils shrank suddenly, as if he remembered something, and a terrible guess suddenly arose in his mind.

"Roar--"

The mountains shook, the earth trembled, and there was another long howl from the abyss. Anstika Mountains experienced an avalanche, and countless accumulated snow formed a mighty torrent, rushing down the mountain.

This time, the roar penetrated even deeper into the soul, causing the red dragon to snort and exhale a puff of sulfur-smelling smoke.

Under Cassius's nervous gaze, a giant claw covered with dark red scales stretched out from the whirlpool of the abyss and grabbed the snow-capped mountain.

Then, a huge dragon head slowly emerged from it, with huge swept-back horns, sharp fangs in its bloody mouth, and deep and dark eyes - this shape made Cassius more familiar, it was actually the head of a red dragon!

The head alone is nearly twenty meters long, which is larger than the entire body of most dragons!

"Shh-"

Then, wings that covered the sky and the sun appeared in the red dragon's sight. They were as tattered as rags, with howling winds surging in the gaps.

Further back, there is a body that meanders like a mountain range, with skinny flesh tightly supporting the dark red skin scales. The black, red, and olive green scales on the body form a striped pattern.

This terrifying "red dragon" was perched on the snowy mountain, staring at Cassius from afar. Its dark eyes were flashing with a strange green light, and the expression on its face was as creepy as a grinning sneer.

It spread its broken wings that blocked out the sky and the sun, and endless abyss winds swept across the mountains, while powerful dragon power filled the earth.

This dark red dragon is over 150 meters long from head to tail, which has already exceeded the physiological limits of red dragons in the main material world!

Looking back through the ages, only those powerful ancestral dragons created by the Nine-Faced Dragon God that roamed the star realms could reach this size.

Cassius couldn't help but take a breath, which also confirmed his inner guess.

This is the body of Carix!
In the accident ten years ago, he dug out Karix's heart, but left the rest of the body to Jelrazax.

And this vengeful demon probably used the remains of the body as materials to create this huge monster!

The dark red dragon, or Jelrazax, stared at Cassius, opened its bloody mouth, and made a low and hoarse voice: "Long time no see, Cassius, you have become more powerful.
But it doesn’t make any sense to me.”

Cassius sneered, looked fearlessly at the giant dragon perched on the snowy mountain, and said, "As expected of the Lord of the Abyss, Jelrazax, you actually occupy such a body."

Jelrazax grinned and said, "I have to thank you, my dear 'ally', Cassius.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the gods sealed me with Karix's body and threw Karix and I to the edge of the astral plane, allowing our powers to check and balance each other and devour each other, maintaining a state of entanglement that could never be escaped.

It was you, Red Dragon, whose endless greed set me free."

Jelrazax raised his claws, and suddenly countless snow and rubble fell from the top of the mountain. The towering mountain actually tilted to the side under this force and collapsed with a roar.

The dark red dragon let out a long and joyful roar, spewing out hot, wild chaos fire.

"Cassius, did you see that?
I took over the remains of Karix, absorbed all of his remaining strength, and finally created this body, a body that should not have appeared in the Third Age. "

Cassius stared at the huge dragon body that was more than a hundred meters long, with a faint light flickering in his light golden pupils.

Indeed, if it were in the normal course of history, the gods would not allow such a huge dragon to appear on the main material plane.

I think in the plot of the previous life, after the original Cassius was defeated by the player, his body should have been occupied by Jerrazax, and he lay dormant in the astral realm, waiting for the end to come.

Jelrazax lowered his head again and stared at Cassius, as if trying to see through his body and see something hidden behind it.

The huge dark red dragon roared at the red dragon. Under its control, the chaos in the sky surged like a torrent, and the mountains seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss.

"Casius, this was originally your destiny. You could have possessed such power, but unfortunately, you refused to cooperate with me and rejected the call of the abyss.

Then, I can only destroy you completely, absorb the last of Calix's power, and transform myself into a true world-destroying dragon!"

The red dragon flapped its wings suddenly, flew into the air, spitting out blazing dragon flames, and confronted the abyss dragon in mid-air: "Ah! Jelrazax, you talk too much nonsense!
Do you really think that you can defeat me by taking possession of a broken corpse? I will break your so-called fate with my own hands! "

Jelrazax raised his head and roared, and also spread out his wings with a wingspan of hundreds of meters, and once again let out a roar that made all things tremble.

"Roar--"

In the confrontation between these two giants, in the roars that resounded through the heavens and the earth, the mountains of Anstika curled up and trembled like young children.

The mountains wailed, and with a loud rumble, the snow poured down like a torrent, and the terrible avalanches continued. (End of this chapter)
