Ember Dragon

Chapter 730 Koschuchi
The red dragon opened its bloody mouth and raging dragon flame gushed out from the depths of its throat. The flames surged over the sky and covered the entire sky, as if to burn everything.

What’s even more terrifying is that there are wisps of silvery-white inner flames deep in the flames, emitting a certain sacred and majestic aura.

——That is the fire of order, which can make the demons disappear completely from the world. Even the bottomless abyss cannot save them!

Crum's face was filled with horror. He collapsed to the ground in fear, using his hands and feet to retreat continuously, shouting, "Lord Koschechi, Lord, please save me! I am your most loyal follower!"

"It seems that he dare not show up. The so-called Angry Lord, the King of Frost Giants - is nothing more than this!" Cassius grinned grimly, and the dragon's breath swept across the earth, burning hundreds of demons to ashes in an instant.

The tongues of fire were like a snarling beast, attacking Krum not far away.

Krum raised the giant hammer with great effort and poured all the blood power in his body, causing a cold wind to howl and extremely cold light to gush out. Icicles rose from the ground and turned into an indestructible ice barrier.

But in front of Cassius's dragon flame that was powerful enough to burn everything, the ice, frost and snow melted instantly, first turning into white water vapor and then disappearing without a trace.

Just as the flames were about to engulf Klum, an angry roar came from across the space.

"Damn reptile! Who gave you the courage to be my enemy--"

The sound echoed across the wasteland of hell, causing countless living beings to feel fear from the bottom of their souls. Even the usually chaotic demons fell silent.

Along with the biting cold wind and the violent shaking of the earth, several huge icebergs slowly rose up, blocking the dragon flame outside. Mottled frost and snow containing the power of chaos fell from the sky and gradually condensed into a huge phantom.

It was a frost giant with hunched shoulders and blue skin. His body was extremely huge, hundreds of meters tall, and his muscular body was wrapped in leather armor made from the skins of dozens of white dragons.

But unlike a normal frost giant, his hair is not blue like snow, but dirty black and gray. The most frightening thing is his dark eyes, which flash with cruel and violent light, as if he wants to tear everything in front of him to pieces.

His identity is naturally self-evident—the King of Frost Giants, the Lord of Wrath, Kostchechi!

"Reptile, you have chosen the wrong opponent. The great Koschechi will turn Avernus into a paradise of the abyss!"

Looking up at the tall shadow, Cassius narrowed his eyes and his pupils shrank. He felt a familiar feeling.

Immortality is the essence of immortality.

Cassius, who had had a lot of contact with the gods, had already memorized this trait and had a deep memory of it.

Sure enough, just as Bayer said, this Lord of the Abyss possesses divine-like qualities. No, to be more precise, He is a Tanar'ri demigod!

Even the iceberg carries divine powers in the fields of strength, cold, etc., enough to freeze everything and turn an entire human kingdom into a dead place covered in ice and snow.

However, Cassius was no ordinary person, he sneered.

"Is this what you rely on? Even a demigod-level demon is no match for me in Avernus!"

Before he finished his words, the red dragon flapped its wings, stirred up a scorching hurricane, and then soared into the air, confronting the hundreds-meter-tall phantom of the frost giant from a distance.

"die!"

Koschechi raised his hand, and an extremely terrifying cold light surged out from the void and shot towards the red dragon's heart. Sharp ice cones pierced the ground and rose from the ground.

However, Cassius was not afraid at all. He flapped his wings again and flew to a height of thousands of meters. He looked down at the shadow of the demon frost giant. The dragon crystal on his chest was as dazzling as the sun, releasing thousands of feet of light.

At the same time, endless hellfire surrounded his body and condensed into a purgatory sword. This was the manifestation of Avernus' authority!

"The power of Avernus. You are also the lord of hell?" Koschechi frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

But Cassius was not merciless. He roared towards the sky, and a pillar of fire containing tremendous energy pierced through the sky and bombarded him like a divine punishment.

"boom!"

The earth shook, the sound was deafening, and white fog filled the air.

The iceberg summoned by Kostchechi was pierced by the pillar of fire, and a huge hole appeared. Boiling turbid water rushed down from it and gathered into a turbulent river.

The Frost Giant Lord roared, and several beams of extremely cold light shot out from the void, competing with the pillars of fire spewed out by Cassius.

"boom!"

For a moment, extreme cold and extreme heat intersected with each other, and two completely different forces collided with each other, producing terrifying energy fluctuations and forming chaotic storms, causing the weather to change constantly, sometimes clear skies, sometimes violent storms, and sometimes dark clouds.

But soon, Cassius gained the upper hand, and the pillar of fire pushed forward in the direction of the frost giant. After all, Avernus was a hot and dry purgatory, and the cold and frost could not exert their full power, not to mention that the red dragon was blessed by the will of the plane.

Krumm looked at the approaching pillar of fire with a look of disbelief on his face, muttering to himself, "Impossible, this is impossible! Lord Kostchechi is invincible, just a reptile like you."

The demons were trembling in fear at the terrifying energy storm and fled everywhere in the barren wasteland, fearing that they would be swallowed up by the aftermath.

The demons' fear of the Burning Emperor was so deep that it was difficult to eliminate.

Bayer stood on top of the bronze fortress, observing this earth-shaking battle, but when he saw that familiar force, his face turned gloomy.

“That’s clearly my power.”

Bayer gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he could do nothing about it.

There is no doubt that Cassius is very powerful, and he also needs this power to maintain order in Avernus and ensure that the demons do not occupy it.

Although he was filled with resentment, Bayer had to admit that Avernus needed Cassius now, and he also needed this powerful ally.

This is the result he got after weighing the pros and cons.

"Roar--"

Cassius released the power of Avernus in his body and roared, "Koschechi, if you came in your true form, I would still be in awe of you.

But you only sent one incarnation, how dare you act so presumptuously in front of me!"

The next moment, the sound of whistling wind resounded through the sky, and the hundred-meter-long Purgatory Sword fell from the sky, starting from the top of the head, and pierced the Frost Giant Lord cleanly.

Immediately afterwards, raging hellfire poured out from the sword, burning the body of Koschechi's incarnation.

White smoke was coming out of this hundred-meter-tall frost giant's body, and his body was gradually melting. Turbid snow water flowed out of his mouth and nose, and the chaotic power in his body was fighting against the energy of hell.

"Casius, when my true form as the enemy of the Frost Giants arrives, that will be your death!"

"boom--"

After leaving behind a hoarse roar, Koschechi's huge body completely collapsed, countless ice blocks fell and turned into an iceberg with flowing snow and water.

"No, Lord Koschechi is invincible." Krum suddenly stood up, swung his huge hammer, and shouted to the sky.

But unfortunately, under the pillar of fire that pierced the sky, the cries and resistance of the frost giants seemed so small, fragile and insignificant.

"boom!"

With dazzling flames, a huge fireball with a diameter of hundreds of meters appeared on the ground, engulfing everything around it - including the frost giant leader who had been a scourge to the universe for many years. Krum died just like that, and under the attack of the red dragon, nearly a million demons he led also died or fled, and the originally aggressive demon army that was besieged outside the bronze fortress completely collapsed.

What a terrible war machine.
Looking at the devastated land and the deep dead fog that filled the wasteland, all the devil officers present had such feelings in their hearts without exception.

With a body as huge as a hill, scales harder than steel, claws sharper than swords, and a breath that can destroy everything, such a guy, as long as he appears on the battlefield, will be a complete disaster for any enemy.

The devils have felt extremely fortunate countless times.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, this monster is their ally, not their enemy!

Crisp applause echoed in the sky. Bayer flapped his wings and appeared behind the red dragon accompanied by surging hellfire with a hypocritical smile on his face.

"Haha, what a wonderful performance, Your Majesty Cassius, my dear ally, you are worthy of being the most powerful dragon in the material plane today. You can destroy the demon army by yourself."

Cassius turned around, nodded slightly, and returned the polite smile: "Of course, after all, we are all appointed by Asmodeus to rule Avernus, so we must do something."

"you"

Bayer's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Without the complete authority of Avernus, he cannot become a true lord of Hell. This is Bayer's biggest pain point now.

His enemies even made up rumors such as "Bail is not valued by the Lord of the Nine Hells" and "Zariel will be resurrected" because Bayer did not become the true Lord of Avernus.

Cassius continued, "Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise, Lord Bayer."

"What promise?"

"Imperial Concession, you said this yourself not long ago, you are not going to deny it now?"

"Haha, of course, Your Majesty Cassius, your army is qualified to get a place to stay in Avernus." Bayer replied with a sneer in his heart.

It’s just a small piece of territory. Could this greedy red dragon possibly occupy the entire Avernus?
"Very good, then let's set the rental place I choose here."

Cassius circled in the sky for several times, pointed casually at a position of the Hell Legion at the forefront, and said: "This land can be used as a leased territory for the Empire."

"Okay, Avernus will always keep its doors open to the Empire. This is a way of caring for our allies."

"I hope you won't regret it in the future. When that time comes, don't cry too much." Cassius thought silently in his heart with a half-smile on his face.

The red dragon stretched out his claws, and a majestic force of law emanated from his whole body. Beside him, Bayer's expression changed slightly and his pupils shrank.

This greedy red dragon, what is he going to do?
Why did he feel the breath of the laws of the plane? Did Cassius want to seize his authority again, or even - want to become the real Lord of Avernus?

Thinking of this, Bayer's expression became uncertain, a dangerous aura emanated from his body, and a hell sword appeared in his hand.

He could suddenly attack at any time, using his fine tradition of backstabbing to launch a sneak attack on the red dragon.

"boom--"

The earth continued to rumble and tremble, smoke and dust filled the wasteland, and a huge stone tablet slowly rose from the ground, standing majestically on the land of Avernus.

There was a line of words written on the stone tablet.

[Imperial Boundary Monument]

"What on earth is this?" Looking at the mysterious stone tablet, Bayer was extremely confused and felt a little at a loss.

At this moment, accompanied by flickering light, several human figures appeared next to the boundary monument, and humans in strange clothes appeared next to the stone tablet.

"No. 1, I am No. 1!"

"This is where?"

"I don't know. I saw a new teleport point and teleported here immediately. It's a pity that I didn't get the first one."

"Look at this bloody sky. It seems like we are in Baator. Are we in Avernus?"

Soon after, more figures appeared beside the stone tablet. There were only dozens of them at first, then hundreds, thousands, and finally tens of thousands of people, like a mottled torrent.

Even the demons found it unbelievable that a stone tablet without any magical fluctuations could summon thousands of troops.

What is even more puzzling to them is that the number of these "humans" is still increasing rapidly, with no sign of stopping.

This is a cross-dimensional teleportation of tens of thousands of people. Doesn't it require a group of spellcasters at least at the level of a great wizard to cast the spell together? This is too hasty!

No, it's not magic at all!
These people were densely packed in that narrow area. Facing the harsh environment of hell, instead of being afraid, their faces were filled with surprise and curiosity.

"Leave me some space, it's so crowded!"

"My goodness, is this the legendary hidden copy?"

"I've read the guide, this should be Avernus. The official also released a special mission to Avernus before, but unfortunately my level is too low and I don't meet the mission requirements."

"These devil's equipment are pretty cool, the Hell Iron Suit? Let's see if we can steal it."

The players were talking in a loud and noisy manner, even louder than the previous demon army.

Suddenly, someone pointed at Cassius in the distance and shouted, "Look over there, it's Brother Kai!"

"It's the real one! I've only seen it a few times in the empire!"

“This model is so big.”

Suddenly, the crowd became excited. The players were already very familiar with this legendary NPC, the emperor of the Burning Empire, the dragon that fought with gods.

"Great! Emperor Kai has shown up. There must be a main mission that cannot be missed! We have also seized the initiative!"

"Okay, okay, I'm ready to be taken away by Emperor Kai!"

"Emperor Kai goes to war, and not a blade of grass will grow!"

"Your Majesty Cassius's body is becoming more and more attractive. If I could touch it, hehehe."

"Hey, hey, hey, is this the Empire Social Morality Patrol? We have captured another pervert from the Dragon Control Club. Please shoot him immediately and eliminate this evil for the people!"

"What a perversion! This is faith, faith!" The player looked at Cassius infatuatedly with fanatical eyes and subconsciously wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
