"Red Dragon! You are so brave!
Are you threatening us? Threatening three true gods?"
There was a thunderclap, and a terrifying pressure surged around Tyr's incarnation. The veins on the one arm holding the steel-gray warhammer bulged.
Faced with this seemingly angry incarnation of the god, Cassius fearlessly moved his huge dragon claws and took another step forward, using the power of the empire to resist the pressure.
The red dragon raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and whispered to the incarnation of Tyr in the sky: "Your Majesty Tyr, this is not a threat.
This is just a friendly reminder.”
"boom!"
The wind was howling, the clouds were surging, and the two auras collided with each other, forming powerful shock waves like waves in the air.
Ilmater narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his head, his expression still compassionate, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Bahamut flapped his wings slowly in the clouds, looking down at the red dragon perched on the top of the mountain. The weathered dragon's face showed no sadness or joy, as if it was thinking silently.
After a long while, the Platinum Dragon God slowly said, "Casius, take care of yourself."
"Ow—"
Bahamut raised his head, and a long, distant roar resounded through the sky.
The scales of the giant platinum dragon were all gleaming with a pale green light, and its slender, winding body gradually faded away and finally merged into the sky.
"Farewell, His Majesty Bahamut!"
"Praise the Platinum Dragon God."
"Praise the Lord of the North Wind."
The gold dragons, silver dragons, and brass dragons in the distance bowed their heads respectfully and saluted in the direction where Bahamut left.
"Jelrazax is dead, the mortal world needs rest, and it is time to end this war."
Ilmater slowly stood up and let out a hoarse, crying voice from his worn-out throat.
"The sky collapsed, the earth crumbled, mortals wept, and endless suffering descended upon the world.
Transfer all the scars and pain to me."
He sang a sad song and limped on the scarred land. Finally, accompanied by the soft warm wind, the scarred figure disappeared.
"Praise the God of Weeping."
“The Lord on the Cross”
The deep chants of metallic dragons and celestial beings echoed through the ruins of the mountains.
Even the most loyal followers of the empire could not bear to say bad words to this weeping god who endured suffering for mortals, and could only watch him leave quietly.
And above the sky, in the rolling clouds, the incarnation of Tyr, holding a steel-gray warhammer and wearing light armor, was flickering all over, and his figure gradually became blurred.
The incarnation of Tyr looked in the direction of Cassius, white light emerged from his empty eye sockets, and he snorted coldly.
"I hope you are as strong as you boast, and not a slave to power."
"boom!"
A loud roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and the light of the stars spread across the sky. Countless thunders descended together, and a dazzling white light enveloped all living things.
Tyr's incarnation finally gradually dissipated, leaving only the remaining powerful pressure.
"Your Majesty, please take care."
Cassius quietly looked up at the still rolling clouds, and finally revealed a relieved smile.
Successful.
Everything went according to his plan several years ago.
The invasion from the abyss was stopped by the Empire, Jelrazax was killed by him personally, and the complete body of Karix also fell into his control.
"Roar--"
Cassius stood on the top of Dragon Blood Mountain, raised his head, stretched his neck, and let out a long roar, announcing to the world the Red Dragon's supreme rule over the Anzeta Wasteland.
"Gods"
"Cassius above"
"Long live the Burning Empire, long live His Majesty Cassius!"
Hundreds of thousands of people present raised their heads at the same time. Whether they were angels, metal dragons, or descendants of red dragons, they all looked into the distance. Countless eyes converged on the top of the mountain.
I saw a red dragon hovering in the sky, its light golden eyes piercing with majesty and power.
The sunlight shone on the huge dragon body that was forty meters long and winding like a mountain range, casting a faint halo on it and making the red scales on its body sparkle.
The wind was howling, the clouds were surging, and the Dragon Blood Mountain beneath the red dragon, which looked like a ferocious dragon, seemed to be worshiping it.
For some reason, people seemed to feel some special power from it - divinity.
Cassius, on the other hand, looked down at the creatures below him calmly and flapped his wings slowly.
He felt those gazes that were either fanatical, pious, or fearful, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The long-lost panel appeared in front of him, displaying information that he had not had time to look at before.
[You killed an Abyss Lord and obtained the legendary achievement [Demon Slayer]]
After the battle between Cassius and Jelrazax, Anstica, which was once covered with snow-capped mountains, has become a devastated ruin.
There were collapsed mountains, flowing snow and water everywhere, and hot lava bubbling out of the cracks in the broken strata.
Only the new Dragon Blood Mountain stood tall between heaven and earth, as if it had existed there for tens of thousands of years, showing Cassius's achievements and power.
After the departure of the "Three Saints of Justice", despite some conflicts and frictions, the Empire still paid a certain amount of gold coins as a reward for the reinforcements that came from afar.
The celestial beings watched their gods leave, and feeling the unfriendly gazes of the Empire's followers, they began to teleport in groups to leave the main material plane.
The metal dragons also created portals and took the Jinnar with Cassius's head printed on it to leave Anzeta and return to their respective habitats.
These beings from all over the multiverse witnessed the duel between Cassius and Jelrazax with their own eyes, and will surely spread the news of this earth-shaking battle that will go down in history.
A pit lord was killed - this was definitely news that shocked the multiverse.
It is foreseeable that Cassius' name will become more and more famous throughout the multiverse.
And countless gazes from Mount Heaven, Joseph Garden, Hell, the Abyss, and even the depths of the Star Realm will converge on this desolate land of Anzeta.
Dragon Blood Mountain.
"Master, the ancient silver dragon of the Melward clan wants to come to see you, as well as the blue dragon of Faria and the envoy of the Thracian Kingdom..."
"Let them all wait by the side. Don't disturb me within ten days." Cassius lay on the mountain formed by the head of Calix, spewing out white smoke with the smell of sulfur, and let out an impatient growl.
"Yes, Master."
The ogre magician nodded repeatedly, then waved his staff and disappeared in a hurry.
Cassius sighed, "Tsk, tsk, what trouble! After this battle, all forces can't wait to come forward."
After saying that, he lowered his head and carefully looked through the documents presented by Trump.
"In this war, the Empire is led by His Majesty Cassius."
In this war against the invasion of the abyss, the Burning Empire achieved a tragic yet glorious victory.
Although the Empire had already set up defenses and carried out intensive fire bombardment on the demons, in the subsequent positional battles, these powerful demons still caused considerable impact on the Empire's front.
Twenty-one southern cities were destroyed by the demonic attack, tens of thousands of civilians were affected by the demonic disaster and lost their lives, and a total of 140,000 imperial soldiers and their families died on the southern battlefield.
The number of players who died in the war was countless. It can be said that the invasion of the abyss caused the empire a loss of tens of millions of gold nars.
In fact, Cassius could have flown directly to Anstica, which was invaded first, and suppressed it with his absolute strength, killing all the demons alone, and then dealing with Jerrazax, thus avoiding all losses.
But he didn't do that.
On the one hand, the protracted war with demons can hone the empire's army, practice and complete various tactics within the army, and bring a baptism of blood and fire to the Burning Empire.
On the other hand, in Cassius's eyes, demons are not just monsters that bring chaos and death, but also valuable experience!
According to Trump's statistics, during this war that lasted for several months, the Empire killed a total of more than 30 million demons, a large part of which was attributed to the Starfall.
And in Cassius's camp panel, after experiencing this Abyss Invasion War, the average level of the three million players belonging to the Burning Empire camp increased by five levels!
You should know that among these three million players, most of them are newcomers who joined the game just to follow the trend of the [Clash of Kings] version, and they were basically hovering around level one or two before the war.
This war brought them a huge amount of experience, and some newcomers even reached level seven by slaughtering demons.
The veteran players who have followed Burning Embers since the internal beta test have even broken through the tenth level and become true transcendents.
After this battle, the empire's intermediate strength was greatly supplemented, and there were five-digit middle and high-level professionals in the Burning Embers Legion.
Compared with these tangible improvements, the losses in the southern part of the empire seem insignificant.
What's more, the large-scale use of weapons in the war also made the military industry within the empire more prosperous and powerful, and the originally stagnant economy was also injected with strong vitality.
"Becoming stronger the more we fight" is not just empty talk but a real fact for the Burning Empire, a huge war machine.
Of course, for Cassius, the biggest gain is the improvement of his individual strength and the precious ancestral dragon corpse under him.
"We have been planning for several years, just for this moment"
The red dragon narrowed his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and the ferocious dragon face was filled with the joy of harvest. The panel appeared in front of him.
Achievement: Demon Slayer
“It is said that only demons can kill demons, and even the gods can only seal these crazy beings.
To completely kill a demon lord, you must be more fierce and brutal than him, which is almost impossible to achieve - The Battle of Blackthorn, as described in the Dark Book of Ammu"
Gain passive properties:
【Demon Killer】
Constitution +1, Charisma +1
With an extremely firm desire for order, you killed a demon lord with your own hands and received some kind of response from the world.
You gain additional features [Resist Chaos Body] [Breath of Order]
[Resist Chaos Body]: From now on, you will be resistant to all forces from the abyss and will be difficult to be seduced by the will of the abyss.
[Breath of Order]: After consuming a huge amount of energy, your breath will gain a miraculous power to restore order.
On the panel, the black and gold trophy released a faint light and gradually merged into the huge body of the red dragon.
Cassius closed his eyes and allowed the invisible force to transform his body.
With the rise and fall of his breathing, the muscles in his body became tighter and the hot heart in his chest beat more actively. The Red Dragon's physique was greatly improved.
Then, a howling wind surged around him, countless elemental particles were dancing, and Cassius's charm reached a new level.
"Wow."
Puffs of steam gushed out from the gaps between the scales, the nostrils, and between the teeth.
"Ow—"
The red dragon couldn't help but let out a low groan. He spread his wings, stretched his limbs, and felt extremely refreshed.
Cassius has become extremely familiar with this feeling of improving basic attributes, and he even enjoys the process.
However, what he was more concerned about were the additional features of [Demon Slayer], namely the two abilities against chaos.
Suddenly, Cassius stared at the information displayed on the panel and muttered to himself:
"This is... entropy reduction."
He uttered a word that had become somewhat unfamiliar.
What Jelrazax said to Cassius was actually not wrong.
Even in Erezegei's world, the tendency of things to move toward chaos and disorder is the rule of all things, which people in previous lives usually called "entropy increase."
In this strange world with a bottomless abyss and demons, this trend is manifested as the abyss demons invading and destroying the world.
However, the power that Cassius obtained can reduce the chaos in the system and completely eliminate the demons that are extensions of the will of the abyss.
"Om-"
In an instant, Cassius felt that the world was silent, the world seemed to be calling him softly, and everything became without secrets in his eyes.
He could see the magma surging underground, the passage in space connecting to the outer planes, and the elemental plane parallel to the material world.
The Seventh Heaven, Joseph's Garden, the Mechanical Realm, the Chaos Sea, the Outer Realm. These planes appeared in front of Cassius like forked branches of a tree.
Finally, in the mechanical interior that looked like a teardrop-shaped clock, tens of thousands of endless voids were filled with huge gears that meshed with each other and slowly turned, making a crisp sound and casting a faint light.
"Click."
Kaixiu suddenly felt a wonderful feeling, and special silver spots of light appeared in his body, bringing him new strength.
He was eager to try, and he urged the new strength in his body, causing silver rays to flash in his light golden pupils. Then he opened his mouth and spewed blazing dragon flames toward the ground.
"boom--"
【Returning Breath】
A silver pillar of fire spurted out, and immediately, the magic net surrounding the pillar of fire began to operate in a very regular and meticulous manner, and everything returned to absolute order.
This is the power that can destroy chaos, and it is also the sharp blade of the demon slayer! (End of this chapter)
