Ashen Dragon-Chapter 222 - 147: The End of the Battle

Chapter 222 -147: The End of the Battle

“Look, what’s that?”

“Holy crap!”

The members of the Royal Guild, who were hurrying on their way, all looked up. In the pitch-black night sky, red stars flickered.

The Polar Night Demon Tower, their destination, was shaking violently. The top of the tower burst open and transformed into a broad platform.

The familiar Red Dragon flapped its wings, ascending into the sky to confront the enormously twisted monster that occupied most of the tower top.

“Roar———”

...

A gigantic roar echoed from the top of the tower, resounding through the sky.

It made the mountains tremble and the ground quake. The birds and beasts, startled from their sleep, fled in panic, leaving the onlookers on the ground feeling lost and bewildered.

“Is this a CGI cutscene in the storyline?”

“Is the official event showing us a boss fight?”

“Holy shit, this is massive.”

“So after all our preparations, are we still going to enter the dungeon?”

“Everyone, let’s just stop here and watch. We might have arrived too late. This… this battle is definitely beyond our capabilities.”

The leader of the Royal Guild, Tyrant, looked up at the roaring Red Dragon and the monstrous creature that waved countless limbs on the ground, muttering to himself.

…

Cassius hovered high in the sky, spreading his wings as the Eye of the Storm King on his chest emitted a blinding light.

Eighth Tier Spell——

Weather Control

As he slowly flapped his wings, rolling clouds surged like tides, gradually shrouding the night sky and barely concealing the Regicide Star Phantom in the sky.

But a faint red glow still seeped through the clouds.

Cassius knew his spell would not last long. Once that phantom solidified, even a thousand layers of clouds couldn’t block the higher-dimensional light of the Regicide Star Phantom.

He had to kill Vagnard immediately!

Fortunately, the being before him had already lost its sanity, reduced to a monster driven purely by instinct.

“Boom!”

Endless lightning brewed within, and several bolts, as thick as bowls, struck down from the clouds, piercing the night like glaring spears to fiercely hit the twisted monster, blackening its body and severing several protruding claws.

The monster wailed in agony, stretching its neck to bite frenziedly towards the sky and continuously spew out Frost Breath.

But these attacks were effortlessly dodged by the Red Dragon.

He moved like a red shadow, weaving through the clouds amidst the lightning.

Cassius focused intently, channeling all his energy to his lungs through his internal blood vessels, preparing to unleash a fatal Breath. A faint glow emanated from the scales on his chest, hinting at the flames within.

However, just as he concentrated on his Breath, a sudden attack came.

“Roar——”

A White Dragon’s head abruptly jutted out from the clouds, snapping at Cassius. Its vertical pupils were filled with frenzy — It was Tiniya!

This White Dragon was clearly uncontrollably trapped in Dragon Fan, in a berserk state where friend and foe couldn’t be discerned, driven solely by the purest desire for destruction.

“Damn it!”

In his energy-gathering state, Cassius couldn’t dodge and had to brace against the attack.

Cassius hadn’t anticipated Tiniya’s frenzy. A regular bite wouldn’t have fazed him.

But once wounded, even Cassius couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t lose his sanity and become a berserk monster.

He instinctively activated Gilded Scales, making his entire body’s scales as hard as mithril in an instant.

“Master, I’m here to help you!”

It was Ramp, who had been maintaining invisibility since the beginning. As he was not fully a dragon, the Regicide Star had less effect on him.

At this moment, he raised his Magic Wand, aiming at the Red Dragon.

White Dragon’s initial bite hit the hardened gilded scales, causing its mouth to recoil from the invisible Shield.

“Roar!”

Several sharp teeth flew out with blood, scattering through the air.

Cassius finally gathered all his energy, with flames flickering in his chest.

At this critical moment, he could no longer care about the safety of his new retainer, he summoned several bolts of lightning, striking the mindless White Dragon and knocking it out of the sky.

“Boom!”

“Roar——”

The White Dragon fell to the ground, belly-up with trembling limbs, charred until it resembled a Black Dragon, but still breathing, though temporarily immobile.

The monster, meanwhile, moved its dozens of menacing limbs towards the Red Dragon, all five heads roaring in unison.

The Red Dragon utilized the magician’s metamagic ability, casting a Sixth Tier Spell instantaneously.

He concentrated all his vitality, selecting a specific scale on his chest as his Reverse Scale, making it glow softly.

Undying Reverse Scale

He aimed to use this ability to ensure his invulnerability and deliver the final blow to the monster.

Cassius spread his wings and dived from the sky like an arrow.

Under the effect of Weak Dragon, his body turned into a red blur again.

The monster’s claws and Breath attacked repeatedly, with thick red mist spreading around.

But with the Aerial Maneuver Technique, the Red Dragon weaved, turned, and stopped abruptly amidst the storm-like assaults, moving like a ghostly charm through the attacks.

Finally, Cassius slightly opened his jaws, with a blinding glow gathering deep in his throat.

“Boom——”

In an instant, a blazing white pillar of fire shot through several attacking limbs of the monster.

He arrived at the monster’s chest — where Vagnard’s main body was located.

As if sensing the Red Dragon’s arrival, Vagnard’s frantic eyes showed a hint of a smile, his right eye emitting a strange red beam.

This was his final resort, an Eighth Tier triggered spell he left for himself before falling into Dragon Fan.

Calamity Ray

This ray, infused with a fragment of the Regicide Star’s energy, could completely destroy a dragon’s brain.

However, Cassius foresaw this attack with the Foresight ability of the Heaven’s Calamity Dragon Eye, without hesitation he let his Reverse Scale intercept it.

As the red beam made contact, the scale quickly shattered, and the film of vitality light enshrouded him, rendering the Red Dragon almost invincible.

“Boom——”

Cassius charged through the beam, fully extending his jaws and unleashing his Breath with all his might.

This Breath released all of Cassius’s energy, along with the elemental ores he had taken from the Ashen Kingdom’s treasury, nearly constituting the most devastating Breath of his life.

Due to the extreme temperature, the flame had turned nearly pure white.

The blazing white pillar of fire instantly engulfed Vagnard’s human head, piercing through the monster’s massive body.

Ultimately, the Breath created a massive, charred hole through its chest, penetrating front to back.

“Roar——”

The monster thrashed violently but to no avail.

With its core lifeless, the stitched-together heads, limbs, and wings all drooped powerlessly, and the monstrous, twisted body collapsed with a quake-like tremor.

With the sound of metal breaking, the Polar Night Demon Tower slowly crumbled, turning into ruins.

Cassius looked down from the sky, finally descending onto the monster’s corpse, standing on the monstrous dragon head and roaring skyward.

“Roar——”

The clouds dispersed, revealing the night sky once more.

The Regicide Star Phantom in the night sky lost its magical guidance, gradually becoming illusory and eventually dissipating.

All creatures affected by the spell and thrown into Dragon Fan slowly regained their sanity, their eyes gradually clearing.
