Ember Dragon

"Shh-"

Cassius flapped his wings and soared into the air in an instant. Endless flames gushed out of his throat. The fire of chaos, the flame of order, the origin of the fire element, and the divine power of the gods intertwined again.
They collided, entangled, and reacted with each other, eventually creating extremely terrifying fluctuations of laws. It seemed as if miniature universes were constantly being born and destroyed in their breath.

In order to kill this incarnation of powerful divine power, Cassius has tried his best.

His basal blood vessels were lit up by the intense flames, and the light even penetrated outside the body, coating the red dragon's body with a hazy, blurred golden light.

"Damn crawlers"

Geumsh could also feel the terrifying power of that breath. He vaguely felt that the power of chaos and order combined could actually devour divine power!

The orc swung his battle axe, trying to split the space so that he could dodge.

But Dumathoin was also staring at Gruumsh closely, and almost in an instant, this silent conservative made up his mind - he must not let Gruumsh leave here!

A brilliant light ignited in Dumathoin's eyes, and he smashed the ground with his molten hammer. An incomparably bright and dazzling divine light burst out from the hammer head.

"boom!"

In an instant, the earth shook, dust flew, and countless huge cracks appeared on the ground.

Huge rock pillars pierced the ground and rose into the sky, like a gigantic hand, imprisoning the incarnation of Gruumsh inside.

Each rock pillar emanated an ochre-colored divine light, containing tremendous power of the earth. It easily blocked the space and prevented Geumus from leaving temporarily.

"You are overestimating yourself, Dumathoin! Do you think you can stop me?" Gruumsh's face was ferocious, he roared, and then swung his battle axe horizontally.

The battle axe carrying blood-red divine light cut the stone pillars in half in an instant, causing the stone pillars to collapse one by one.

After all, it was a being of powerful divine power. Even if Dumathod tried his best, he could not trap it completely and could only delay it for a moment.

But this moment was enough for Cassius to gather all his strength and release a powerful breath towards Gruumsh.

Gruumsh looked up and saw that the red dragon's silhouette had been submerged in the dazzling flames like the sun. The heat wave instantly swallowed up the surrounding space, and countless pillars of fire fell from the sky, like a divine punishment coming to the world!

"boom!"

Gruumsh's face was ferocious, and blood light burst out from his huge single eye, confronting the red dragon's flames.

For a moment, the sky was shrouded in Gruumsh's divine power, and blood-red light spread everywhere, making it difficult for even Cassius to break through.

The flames and blood-colored divine power that contained multiple laws such as order, chaos, fire, and the sun collided and offset each other, creating a terrifying turbulence of laws at the junction of the two sides.

At this moment, the orcs and the red dragon were like two huge celestial bodies, emitting their own light and heat, fighting for dominance over this world.

But Gruumsh was a god of great power after all, and his status was too high. Even though Cassius had tried his best, he was still suppressed by him and was about to collapse.

But the next moment, Dumathoin roared angrily, raised his molten hammer high, and smashed it towards Gruumsh with all his strength.

In an instant, the broken rocks on the ground flew into the air, and a heavy hammer hundreds of meters long, made of divine light and rock, appeared in the sky and smashed down heavily towards the Orc God.

"boom!"

The two forces collided again, and the powerful shock wave instantly spread thousands of meters away, causing countless sand, stones and dust to fly into the sky, and once again set off a storm that swept the earth.

With the full force of Cassius and Dumathod, tiny cracks finally appeared on the thin film of blood-colored divine light, and then it completely collapsed and disintegrated, turning into countless light spots.

All of Cassius's breath hit Gruumsh, and the orc's strong and sturdy body was instantly submerged in the torrent of flames. Dumathoin also smashed the blurry figure in the flames with his heavy hammer.
The sea of ​​fire was raging, the flames were burning fiercely, thick smoke was billowing, the extremely high temperature was almost melting the surface, and magma was flowing on the ground.

The flames from the red dragon's mouth still poured down like a waterfall. He shuttled through the sea of ​​fire, waving his claws and sweeping his giant tail. A casual blow could cause a small hill to suddenly collapse.

The impact of Dumathoin's hammer sometimes caused mountains to rise from the ground, and sometimes caused the rock layers to suddenly crack. The earth shook violently, emitting a dull wailing, and countless huge cracks appeared on it.

Under the violent offensive of Cassius and Dumathoin, everything around them was destroyed indiscriminately. This was no longer just a natural disaster, but a world-destroying disaster!
Finally, Cassius landed on the ground panting, the flames surrounding his body went out, and the dragon crystal gradually dimmed - he had consumed too much energy, and even with the strong physique of an ancestral dragon, he could not recover immediately.

Dumathoin also cautiously stepped aside, holding a heavy shield and a huge hammer, staring at the thick smoke, always on guard against orcs attacking from it.

The thick smoke gradually dissipated, and on the devastated land, the God of Orcs still stood tall.

But at this moment, His body was covered with wounds, burns, and marks of blunt force trauma. His plate armor was tattered and looked somewhat disheveled.

"You...are all going to die!"

Gruumsh's face was ferocious and he let out a low roar. Under the explosion of divine power, his body swelled again, his wounds healed quickly, and his body emanated a blood-red light that enveloped the sky.

This is the embodiment of powerful divine power! Even the devastating attack just now could not destroy Him, it would only make Him go berserk and become even more powerful.

"boom--"

Under the strong storm of divine power, Cassius and Dumathod both had dense wounds on their bodies.

Both the scales and the rocks were torn apart easily, and the bloody divine light was still constantly eroding their flesh and blood, spreading towards the depths.

"As expected of the orc god. Even if it's just an incarnation, I can't defeat him."

Looking at Gruumsh at the center of the storm, Cassius licked the hot blood at the corner of his mouth and sighed in his heart.

Even if he joined forces with Dumathoin's incarnation and tried every possible means, they could not kill it completely.

Fortunately, the all-out war between the Dwarven and Orcish pantheons is still going on, and Gruumsh still has to keep an eye on the situation in the outer planes.

As the war intensifies, even if it is only a wisp of divine power or a thought that descends upon this incarnation, it will be taken away by Gruumsh's true body.

"You lowly reptile, I will chop off your head, I will take your--" Gruumsh's angry words came to an abrupt halt, and an uncontrollable rage suddenly flashed in his one eye.

Dwarves again!

Taking advantage of his distraction, the dwarf gods took the opportunity to counterattack, and even the vanguard of the dwarves had approached the Eternal Battlefield!
If they are allowed to invade their kingdom, the consequences will be disastrous! We must mobilize all our forces to stop them!

Thinking of this, Gruumsh looked at Cassius with hatred with his one eye, his eyes were extremely gloomy and resentful, and he wanted to tear out his tendons and skin him.
He roared: "Casius, you are lucky! Remember - when I come to this world again, your death will come!"

Then, above the huge orc's head, a blood-red divine light shot up into the sky. Gruumsh's incarnation was about to break through the boundary between the material plane and the outer plane and return to his kingdom of God. Cassius first breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up at the blood-red divine light in the sky, and his pale golden pupils suddenly showed an unconcealable greed.

You should know that the five major duties of Gruumsh are: orcs, strife, survival, strength, and territory.

It includes many areas of divine power such as chaos, evil, hatred, orcs, strength, war, etc. Except for the unique priesthood of the orc racial god, they are highly compatible with Cassius.

Suddenly, a bold idea emerged in his mind - since he had already offended Geumsh to death, he might as well fight to the death and take advantage of this rare opportunity to devour Geumsh's incarnation of divine power!
Thinking of this, Cassius no longer hesitated, flapped his wings with all his strength, soared into the air under Dumathod's somewhat astonished gaze, and chased towards the sky.

Ten thousand meters in the sky, the speed of the blood-colored divine light was getting faster and faster, and the face of orcs appeared in it.

In order to successfully return to the outer planes, the incarnation of Gruumsh has discarded all material things, leaving only the purest spiritual body and divine power.

However, just as the space was fluctuating and the world's membrane was about to be penetrated, a red dragon, dragging brilliant flames, streaked across the sky like a meteor and appeared behind the incarnation of Gruumsh.

"Casius! You're looking for death!"

A variety of emotions appeared on Gruumsh's translucent face, including fear, anger, and panic. He wanted to use his divine power to condense a weapon to repel the chasing red dragon.

But now He has turned into a mixture of pure spirit and divine power, and His ability to influence the material plane is far less powerful than when He descended upon Solo.

Cassius smiled grimly, his golden eyes flashing: "Gruumsh, the next time you come to this world, it won't just be one of your clones that will be killed.

Remember - I will make your body completely destroyed! Let the inferior race of orcs cease to exist!"

"boom--"

In an instant, dark red and silver-white flames gushed out of his mouth. The two flames, which were completely opposite in nature, entangled together, gradually emitting a terrifying attraction like a black hole.

A mottled dragon made of flames, hundreds of meters long, appeared in the sky - it was the embodiment of the Predatory Breath.

"Damn it! How dare you blaspheme a true God like this!"

"Casius, stop now! You will regret this. You can't handle my wrath!"

The remaining incarnation of Gruumsh's divine power roared madly, resisted and struggled constantly, but it was still difficult to escape the gravitational force of the plundering breath, and was eventually completely swallowed up by the "dragon".

The fire of chaos burned the incarnation of Gruumsh's divine power, turning it into chaotic and disordered divine power and destroying the mark of Gruumsh within it.

The Flame of Order made it orderly, causing it to gradually condense into a blood-red ball of light that could be absorbed by Cassius.

However, compared to the incarnation of Gruumsh when it first descended, only one tenth of the divine power remains.

"War, strength, survival. What a wonderful divine power." Cassius held the blood-colored ball of light with his dragon claws, his face full of excitement.

The blood and wounds all over the body seemed so insignificant compared to the satisfaction of gaining power.

Looking at the scene in the sky, Dumathoin stood there in a daze - he really didn't expect that the red dragon would be so bold as to devour Gruumsh's clone.

Dumathoin knew that this daring red dragon would pose no small threat to the dwarves, but at this moment, he also had an older and more powerful enemy, Gruumsh.

The red dragon also noticed the dwarf's gaze. He turned his head, flapped his wings, and looked at Dumathoin from a distance.

From that look, Cassius could actually feel a variety of complex emotions including surprise, hostility, and worry.

Cassius was not surprised by the reaction of this "temporary ally". After all, he had killed his people and captured the city where the ally was giving refuge a few months ago.

It would be strange if Dumathoin lowered his guard and showed friendliness to me just because of this battle.

The corners of Cassius' mouth curled up, revealing a polite smile, and he nodded slightly: "Thank you for your help, Your Highness Dumathoin.

Please convey my sincerest regards to His Majesty Moradin, and may he achieve final victory in this ten-thousand-year-long pantheon war."

The red dragon spoke with special affection, as if the dwarves were his closest allies - and he had never massacred the dwarven people or occupied their fortresses.

"."

His response was still silence.

Finally, Dumathoin looked at him deeply, then supported the ground with his giant hammer, and his body merged into the rock layer, and the heavy breath of divine power completely disappeared in the material plane.

Dumathoin also left the material plane and continued to participate in the war between the gods. Countless dwarves and orcs from the multiverse will fight and struggle in the turbulence of space.

To these true gods, the battles between their avatars are but a game on the fragile material plane.

"Roar--"

A distant roar came from the horizon, drowning out the roars of the orcs and the howling of artillery fire.

In front of the towering walls of the Dragon City, or Avenderdan, the fierce battle actually stopped. Both the orc warriors and the imperial soldiers stopped in tacit understanding.

Although the fighting had stopped, the expressions on these orcs' faces were far more tense and uneasy than when they were fighting the enemy - after all, this was related to the future of their orc clan.

The orcs put down their spears, bone clubs, and stone axes, and the imperial soldiers also put down their rifles and rocket launchers. They all turned their heads and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw an extremely huge red dragon appear in the distant sky, spreading its extremely wide wings, covering the sun's light.

"It's His Majesty Cassius!"

"Long live His Majesty Cassius! Long live the great red dragon!"

Under the shining light, the faces of these imperial soldiers were filled with fanaticism and piety. They waved their weapons and cheered loudly that shook the sky.

The orcs' faces were filled with despair and depression. They dropped their weapons one after another, and some even fell to their knees on the ground.

Solo also woke up from the state of being possessed by the gods. He looked around at the devastated battlefield and then at the red dragon that appeared in the distant sky. He was suddenly struck by lightning.

He fell to his knees and muttered to himself, "It's over, everything is over."

Solo knew very well that from today onwards, the future of the orcs of the Wugo Prairie would be shattered! (End of this chapter)
