Ashen Dragon-Chapter 267 - 191 Barlow Flame Demon’s Body Incineration Explosion
Chapter 267: Chapter 191 Barlow Flame Demon’s Body Incineration Explosion
“Hahahaha! Red Dragon, I felt it. The Abyss is watching me. My revenge is about to succeed!”
“Ascend, transcend!”
The Fallen Giant laughed wildly, though his appearance was quite miserable at the moment.
His body trembled, blinding yellow light exploded from his eyes and ears. The cracks in his skin grew larger, revealing the eerie light from the Abyss and spreading out billowing black mist.
A chaotic and magnificent power destroyed his body and then reshaped it.
Finally, shrouded in black mist, the giant tore open his original skin and flesh, removed his complex internal organs, completely abandoned his former identity as a Frost Giant, and transformed himself into nourishment for the Abyss, then reconstructed a new body with the most chaotic Abyssal energy— a demon.
...
It was a pure demon.
The giant, or rather the demon, unfolded meat wings from his back, sprouting horns on his head.
His body surface was a bright red, like exposed flesh.
He gently waved his arm, drawing a giant whip burning with chaotic flames from the void with his right hand, and from the chaos, took a storm longsword crackling with lightning with his left hand.
“Cassius, I will kill you.”
The demon sneered, speaking word by word.
His face showed endless hatred and fury.
Just like the famous “Ship of Theseus” paradox, after replacing all his body parts with Abyssal material, the former Keman might have completely vanished. The current existence was just a newly reborn demon with Keman’s memories.
The [Newborn Barlow Flame Demon – Keman]
Challenge Level: 18 (20000xp)
Cassius watched the newly reborn demon in front of him.
“Barlow Flame Demon?”
The Barlow Flame Demon was one of the most powerful demons in the Abyss, second only to those bizarre lords. They, as ancient and terrifying evil representatives, commanded the demon armies, being the pinnacle that every demon underling aspired to reach.
The energy within the body of the Barlow Flame Demon in front of him was extremely unstable, like a bomb ready to explode at any moment, possibly a temporary form created by sacrificing life— not as strong as a true Barlow Flame Demon in the Abyss.
But even so, for Keman to be granted the temporary power of a Barlow Flame Demon by the existence behind him, it was no simple matter.
It may even have been the act of a Demon Lord.
This also made Cassius more cautious. The newly born Barlow Flame Demon didn’t concern him much, but the Demon Lord manipulating everything behind the scenes, that “Vengeful Demon,” was a mysterious and extremely dangerous existence to him.
“What are you waiting for?”
“Red Dragon, are you afraid?”
The Barlow Flame Demon let out a roar, whipping out the flame whip, trying to wrap it around the neck of the Red Dragon.
Under normal circumstances, once the flame whip hit its target, he could rely on his immense physical strength to pull the opponent toward his fiery body and attack at will.
Unfortunately, he was not facing an ordinary person.
Cassius easily grasped the flame whip, a curious expression on his face.
“Has the Abyssal Turbulence scrambled your brain?
“You actually dared to compete with a Red Dragon— in flames and strength?”
The Barlow Flame Demon gripped the whip tightly, trying to pull it out, but he exerted all his might, and the flame whip did not budge an inch.
The other end remained firmly in the giant claw of the Red Dragon.
The extremely dangerous blazing flame to ordinary people was nothing to Cassius. It wasn’t even as strong as the aftermath of his sleep.
“Ridiculous tactics.”
In contrast, Cassius suddenly exerted force.
The Barlow Flame Demon, caught off guard, was forcibly dragged before the Red Dragon under that terrifying power.
“Cassius, you’re courting death!”
The Barlow Flame Demon roared in fury, swinging his storm longsword encased in lightning towards the neck of the Red Dragon.
However, the Red Dragon’s surface was covered with denser arcs of electricity, the lightning from the storm longsword was directly absorbed by his [Remnant of the Storm] body, instead summoning even stronger thunder.
Suddenly, thunderbolts fell from the clear sky.
“Boom!”
The Barlow Flame Demon trembled, his body scorched.
Cassius tightened his grip on the flame whip, violently throwing the Barlow Flame Demon into the air, then smashing him fiercely to the ground.
“Boom!”
“Is this what you call revenge?”
Cassius’s mouth twitched slightly. The Barlow Flame Demon before him commanded flames and lightning, abilities very similar to his own, but each one was weaker by far— it was like a natural punching bag specifically crafted for him.
Though speaking, Cassius’s actions didn’t stop for a moment.
The Red Dragon’s muscles tensed, repeatedly smashing the Barlow Flame Demon to the ground, even creating several humanoid pits in the earth.
“Enough!”
The Barlow Flame Demon finally unwrapped the whip from his hand, freeing himself from the unending smashing.
He struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes filled with uncontrollable anger.
This was utter humiliation!
His nemesis, that Red Dragon, was treating him like a plaything!
As one of the top demons in the Abyss, the Barlow Flame Demon had more than these abilities.
Keman instinctively wanted to use Blasphemy, but considering the probability that the Red Dragon in front of him was a Chaotic Evil being, he gritted his teeth and refrained. He didn’t want to be easily manipulated by the opponent again.
“I will bestow upon you the madness of the Abyss!”
Thus, in the Barlow Flame Demon’s eyes, the frenzied light of the Abyss burst forth, and he used his innate spell ability.
[Soul Capture Technique]
This spell contained the frenzied spirit of the Abyss. Those hit by it would have their perception halved, and there was a high probability they would fall into complete madness. It was a spell the Barlow Flame Demon used against overwhelmingly strong enemies.

However, before he could release his innate spell ability, a flicker of illusion technique shone in Cassius’s eyes first.
[Tiamat’s Terrifying Illusion]
Instantly, a terrifying five-colored, five-headed giant dragon appeared before the Barlow Flame Demon, with earth-shaking roars and torrents of fire, frost, acid, and lightning pouring from its heads.
“No, this is impossible.”
“You can’t summon a real deity!”
The Barlow Flame Demon gritted his teeth. Although he saw through the illusion, those terrifying breaths had already materialized in his mind, creating various wounds on his twisted, massive body.
When the illusion dissipated—
Cassius already stood in front of the Barlow Flame Demon.
The dragon crystal on his chest shone with a dazzling light, white smoke hissed from his vent holes, and scorching, white-hot fire spat from his mouth.
Yet this wasn’t the end. The Red Dragon’s jaw opened wider, flames sprouting two rows of blazing tails from his neck and tail, and the dragon crystal on his chest filled with the light of the flames, the white-hot pillar of fire extending further, with a faint blue hue at its outermost edge.
It was Extremely Effective Flame Breath!
“Boom!”
In just a few breaths, the pillar of fire pierced through the Barlow Flame Demon’s chest, evaporating his beating wicked heart.
Despite sharing a strong flame resistance, the Red Dragon’s extremely effective breath had far exceeded what he could withstand.
The Barlow Flame Demon gazed at the Red Dragon unwillingly, his eyes filled with hatred.
“No, no…”
“It shouldn’t be this way.”
His body shook violently, raising his arm slightly, trying to use the last of his life force to entangle his enemy, but his life was like a flickering candle, his body nearly spent.
Cassius simply stepped back a few agile steps, then performed the Dragon’s Spell [Egg of Sanctuary], creating a dragon egg-shaped other-dimensional space, disappearing from the Prime Material Plane in a flash of spell radiance.
“No—”
“My revenge isn’t over, come back!”
The Barlow Flame Demon let out a heart-wrenching roar, his eyes filled with despair.
The light from his mouth, nose, and eyes became extremely bright, flashing continuously until his entire body was covered, transforming his massive, hideous form into a ticking time bomb.
The next moment, the death of the Barlow Flame Demon triggered an extremely terrifying explosion.
“Boom!”
With a deafening roar, the scorching heat annihilated everything around, regardless of demons, rocks, trees, or anything else, turning them to ash in this cataclysmic explosion. Half of the hillside was leveled, with Abyssal Fire blazing on the white ground.
The powerful air currents spread for miles, causing the Ancytica Mountains to tremble and quiver.
This was [Body Incineration Explosion], the grandest spectacle caused by the death of a Barlow Flame Demon, the most spectacular fireworks ignited by the life of a Great Demon.
However, the grand fireworks lacked their most crucial audience. The target of revenge had the foresight to retreat early to an other-dimensional space that the explosion couldn’t reach.
