Ember Dragon

"Boom!"

Thunder roared suddenly, lightning flashed and roared in the sky, and countless dazzling lightning flashes crisscrossed in the clouds.

The sky darkened again, and the power of heaven spanned a hundred miles. The starry night of the silver heaven once again enveloped the earth, including the red dragon.

In the Erezegei world, music and language are not just vibrations in the air, but a unique force.

The bards believed that the multiverse was "spoken" out, that the words of the gods gave shape to the multiverse itself, and that the original "Word of Creation" still echoes throughout the universe today.

Music is a manipulation of this echo, an attempt to weave it into the necessary spells and power. As the controller of the Silver Heaven, Barachiel also masters this part of the "Holy Words of Creation".

"Woo——"

The silver horn sounded, and a slow and melodious hymn began. The sacred melody became more passionate and rhythmic, and a high-pitched female voice like an opera aria appeared in it.

"To achieve justice, even if the sky falls and the earth breaks—"

"In the name of justice and fairness, all living beings are respected. Those who do good will receive eternal life, and those who do evil will be sent to hell."

Along with the grand hymn, Barachiel raised the silver sword in his hand high. A dull sound rang out, and the surrounding power of heaven immediately gathered in his direction.

Finally, that force condensed into a solid entity in the sky, forming a giant sword that pierced the sky and was thousands of meters long, which contained the power of the law of order of heaven.

【Final Judgment】

Since Mount Heaven is a symbol of order and justice, Barachiel, as the ruler of Silver Heaven, can also use this authority to judge the existence of the material world.

The more chaotic and evil the chosen target is, the greater the damage it will suffer. If the one being judged is an abyss demon, it is even possible that his [essence] will be erased.

In Barachiel's eyes, the Burning Emperor, as a red dragon who possessed the power of Chaos Fire and committed acts of aggression, was definitely a typical "chaotic evil" person.

He held up his sword high, the six huge wings behind him waved slowly, and a majestic voice that echoed between heaven and earth came out of his mouth: "Cassius, you cruelly launched an invasion and attempted to enslave mankind. You have violated the bottom line of the world!
In the name of Mount Heaven, in the name of the Silver Heaven, I, Barachiel, Lord of Lucia, will grant you the final judgment! "

Barachiel looked solemn and swung the sword in his hand.

"Om-"

The giant sword of heaven in the sky also slowly descended, causing the surrounding space to vibrate continuously and cracks to appear.

Cassius looked up at the sky without fear and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha! Well done! This is the power that the Lord of Silver Heaven should have!
However, in this world - no one can judge me, not even the so-called will of heaven!"

“Roar——” The red dragon raised its head and let out an earth-shaking roar. He supported his body with his strong forelimbs, stood up, spread the dragon wings behind him, and emitted a strong pressure that spread for thousands of meters.

At this moment, Cassius no longer restrained his dragon power, and the pressure unique to the ancestral dragon was released instantly!

"God."

"Good, such a strong sense of oppression!"

"What kind of monster is this that makes me feel weak all over and have difficulty breathing?"

Suddenly, countless soldiers fell to their knees, trembling all over, fainting on the spot, and some were even frightened to death.
This is humanity's most primitive fear of powerful creatures, which comes from the era tens of thousands of years ago when giant dragons ruled the earth and treated humans as slaves.

Although Cassius has long since escaped the influence of the Abyss and returned to the lawful camp, the [Final Judgment] released by Barachiel with all his strength will still pose a fatal threat to him.

The giant sword of heaven in the sky is surrounded by glowing mysterious spells. It will probably take some time to condense before it can be fully released.

And this is Cassius's perfect opportunity.

Looking up at Barachiel in the sky, the red dragon sneered: "Do you think I will wait for you to release your ultimate move like the villain in the story?"

Before he finished speaking, Cassius opened his bloody mouth, and all the blood vessels in his body flashed with fire, protruding from his body and revealing a root-like shape on the surface of his body.

The pure blood of the ancestral dragon carried extremely terrifying energy, flowing from all parts of his body to his dragon crystal, and dark red flames emerged from the pores on his neck and tail.

"Om-"

In an instant, rich chaotic power surged in the dragon crystal, and the sparks flew around in the chest, stirring up the surrounding magic net into ripples, as if it had experienced a violent storm.

The dark red chaotic storm spread out from the red dragon, covering everything within a diameter of several hundred meters and burning it to ashes.

The remaining grass, trees, soldiers, sand and rocks were all swept into the air by the strong wind, burned, and eventually turned into ashes in the dark red storm.

"boom!"

The next moment, accompanied by a deafening explosion, the earth suddenly sank and the sky was torn apart by a dark red pillar of fire, as if it was torn into scars and bleeding.

That is [Breath of Chaos]

Barachiel's face darkened, and anger reappeared in his dark purple eyes. He suppressed his anger and whispered, "It turns out that he is a villain who colluded with the Abyss!

But - do you think you can escape the final judgment like this?"

Along with the sacred music, the silver horn wrapped with chains suddenly grew larger and blocked Barachiel's way.

Brilliant heavenly light was released from it, and the forces that symbolized the essence of order condensed together and transformed into regular silver polygons, eventually building a glittering fortress.

The fortress was hundreds of meters high and beautifully decorated, with even the walls covered with sacred murals and the light of the stars.

【Immortal Bastion】

It was a projection of Barachiel's residence, and was a product condensed from the purest power of heaven's order, enough to easily resist the impact of the Lord of the Abyss.

During the abyss invasion thousands of years ago, Barachiel drove this magnificent fortress to crush those crazy demons and drive these chaotic evil beings back to the abyss.

And now, it has been released by Barachiel to resist Cassius's [Breath of Chaos].

"boom!"

With the roar of the sky and the explosion of the air, the dark red pillar of fire finally hit the Immortal Fortress.

Evil and justice, chaos and order, two forces of completely opposite nature collided, rubbed, and squeezed each other, instantly creating a terrifying explosion that covered half of the sky. Dark red flames and light intertwined, and the chaotic energy aftermath they released even swept across the earth, ruthlessly destroying each piece of magic equipment, causing the mages to wail constantly.

Cassius continued to raise his head and exhale, but at the same time, he flapped his wings, stirred up a scorching gale, and soared into the air, constantly approaching the glorious fortress high in the sky.

The chaos surge in his chest became more and more violent, and the dark red pillar of fire in his mouth became thicker and thicker. The chaotic flames almost occupied the sky, forming a huge vortex of fire.

"Ow—"

The thunderous roar made people tremble and feel the fear that went deep into their souls.

There was a murderous light in Cassius's pale golden pupils, which were also filled with the desire for killing and destruction. A faint blood light appeared on the surface of his scales, which was obviously the passive triggering of the special function of [Blood Scale Berserker].

At this moment, the Burning Emperor was full of momentum, just like Karix coming to the world, determined to burn everything in the world to ashes and create a new century belonging to dragons.

Seeing such a powerful force, the people of the Burning Empire shouted and cheered fanatically, waving their weapons, as if they had already seen the upcoming victory.

After all, that was the Burning Emperor. In the more than ten years of the empire's rise, he had never been defeated and had become a symbol of victory.

"Long live His Majesty Cassius!"

"Invincible!"

"This is our supreme Majesty! This is the Emperor of the Burning Empire!"

Also in the army formation of the Burning Empire, the silver-haired girl was also looking up at the sky, her slender hands clenched in front of her chest, with a look of worry on her face.

"Casius, I hope you won't be bewitched by that power again."

The current Red Dragon made her involuntarily think of the "Battle of Two Dragons" that shocked the world.

At that time, in order to defeat her grandfather Osedro, Cassius also used this special Chaos Breath, but lost control halfway, and Olivia almost risked her life to wake him up.

And now, Cassius has stood at the top of the material world, fighting with the Lord of Heaven, but Olivia is not even qualified to approach the battlefield. If she gets close, she will be swallowed up by the powerful aftermath.

Thinking of this, Olivia could only close her eyes, clasp her hands together, and pray silently.

She prayed that Cassius could win without losing his mind, that this land and its people could end this suffering, and that the Burning Empire could establish a new order as Cassius said.
"boom--"

The collision in the sky continued, and the chaos fire became more and more fierce, but it was still unable to break through the barrier of glory.

The most extreme order and the purest chaos grew and ebbed, constantly colliding, sparks and light particles bursting in the sky, even that little aftermath was enough to kill a full-grown dragon.

Above Barachiel's head, the "Sword of Damocles" hanging high in the sky became larger and more solid, and the runes on the sword lit up, as if it was about to bring down its judgment and execute the red dragon.

The halo behind Barachiel became increasingly dazzling. He flapped his six huge wings, looked down at the approaching red dragon, and shouted in a majestic voice, "Cassius, stop struggling fearlessly and get ready to be judged!

The red dragon is indeed a slave to power, and people like you who have plunged into the chaos of the abyss should be completely eliminated!"

"boom--"

However, what responded to Him was an even more violent breath and an even more turbulent chaos fire.

Cassius flapped his dragon wings and continued to climb until he was only a few hundred meters away from the Immortal Fortress. "Do you think you have become a slave of the abyss? How ridiculous! I am the master of power!"

"Any arrogant person who has been bewitched by the abyss thinks that he is the master! However, they all end up becoming pathetic puppets, and you are no exception!" Barachiel sneered and continued to release the power of heaven to strengthen his defenses.

The collision between chaos and order became more and more shocking. The dark red flames spread across the sky, constantly eroding and washing away the Immortal Fortress.

Barachiel stared at the red dragon, his eyes filled with resolute killing intent: "It's useless! Just as darkness cannot suppress light, chaos can never defeat order!"

"is it?"

However, at this moment, Cassius flapped his wings and suddenly showed a playful smile: "In this case, then - what if I also have the power of order?"

"what?"

Barachiel frowned slightly and didn't react for a moment, even thinking that the red dragon had been driven mad by the will of the abyss.

How can order and chaos, two forces of completely different natures, coexist in the same entity?

However, a star-like light suddenly emerged from the dragon crystal on Cassius' chest, intersecting and colliding with the chaotic fire within it. His eyes became clear again, and the surface of his scales also emitted a faint glow.

Then, the red dragon opened its mouth, a faint light flickered in its pupils, and silver-white flames gushed out from the depths of its throat.

【Returning Breath】

The outer layer is the chaotic fire that symbolizes disorder, and the inner layer is the silver-white flame that symbolizes absolute order. The two blend together to form a strange breath that contains complex laws.

"boom--"

The nature of the Immortal Fortress is similar to the eighth-ring spell [Shield of Order], which can resist all attacks with a chaotic nature, but cannot prevent beings with the same nature from entering.

In an instant, before Barachiel could react, the silver-white inner flame pierced through the wall of the fortress, and the dark red outer flame followed closely and poured into the fortress.

Barachiel's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted in shock and anger: "This is impossible! How can you have such power! "

Barachiel quickly held the sword horizontally and blocked it in front of him. His flawless silver face became a little ferocious: "Justice and evil, order and chaos are opposites. They are the eternal and irrefutable truths in the universe. Even gods cannot break them!"

Cassius laughed wildly: "I said that even Mount Heaven has no right to judge me, you pedantic fellow. I am the real builder and maintainer of order!"

Countless shining magic circles, light curtains, and shields blocked Barachiel's way, but they could not stop the terrifying breath that had two natures at the same time.

"boom--"

The dark red fire of chaos will eliminate and disintegrate everything, while the silvery white fire of order will organize and reconstruct the disintegrated particles into new matter, turning it into Cassius' own power.

At this moment, this breath could no longer be simply called [Breath of Chaos] or [Breath of Order]. Cassius named it [Breath of Plunder].

As the name implies, it disintegrates the old matter and transforms it into new matter in Cassius' body, breaks the old order, and establishes a new order controlled by Cassius - this is the true meaning of [Breath of Plunder]! (End of this chapter)
