Ember Dragon

"Stop! Fool born from the abyss!"

Bayer flapped his wings and hovered in the sky, roaring fiercely at the Blackwater Lord in the distance. The twelve angel heads on his waist also screamed.

With his appearance, the pressure unique to Avernus poured out, sweeping across the sky and the earth.

Even the dark clouds formed by the black water were burned by the flames, and the dark rainstorms stopped falling, replaced by the hellfire covering the sky. On the ground, the slime monsters and the pioneers of decay also spontaneously combusted, and they turned into ashes with miserable roars.

Two forces containing the deepest malice in the multiverse collided and confronted each other, producing terrible fluctuations.

Although both were evil auras, the one released by the Blackwater Lord was a chaotic and disordered abyssal black light, like countless entangled poisonous snakes, while the one released by Bayer was a distinct blood light, which was evil but full of order.

Chaos and order, this is the difference between the Tanar'ri and the Baatezu, and it is also the fundamental reason for their eternal bloody battle.

"Long live Lord Bayer!"

"Praise the Lord of Avernus!"

"Powerful and wise Duke, your strength is unmatched. Those worms from the abyss are only worthy of crawling at your feet!"

"Oh! My supreme lord, your wisdom is enough to amaze the most shrewd mind flayer, and your power can make the most arrogant dragon tremble!
Please allow your humblest servant to kiss the shadow you cast - it is our lifelong honor as a devil! "

Seeing the Lord of Hell coming, the devils stopped fleeing, cheered, and used extremely flattering and almost corny words to praise the Lord in the sky.

Then, some people raised their swords and steel forks and shouted, "For Avernus! For the great Bayer! I will fight the devil to death!"

"For Avernus!"

"To the great Bayer! Long live!"

Soon, with the devils' loud shouts, the sound was like a tsunami, resounding through the sky and echoing across the vast battlefield.

For the devil, judging the situation and flattery are their compulsory courses. Those who fail to recognize the situation have long died in the endless conspiracy of hell.

Bayer naturally understood the hypocrisy of his men. These cowardly guys had just been trying to escape for their lives, but now they had become warriors who were "defending Avernus to the death".

But Bayer didn't care about the devils' real thoughts. He just looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and specially wrote down the name of the devil who took the lead in shouting - well, he was quick to react, servile, treacherous and cunning, and a guy worth cultivating.

Bayer then raised the Infernal Sword in his claws, pointed it at the Lord of Blackwater, and said in a powerful voice: "This is Baator Hell, the kingdom of order of the Baatezu devil, not your filthy, stinking abode!

Dirty and stupid bastard - get back to the abyss!" The voice was like a thunderous roar, deafening, giving people the feeling of an irresistible command.

"Are you Bayer?"

The mouth on the Blackwater Lord's tentacles opened and closed, and overlapping sounds were heard, as if coming from the void, which was creepy.

Then, a deeper and hoarse laugh sounded: "Koschechi is right. Zariel is dead, and the one who took her place is indeed a crippled waste, a ridiculous hell-devil, who doesn't even have the complete authority of hell.
It can be seen that Asmodeus is just looking for a scapegoat. "

Bayer is one of the few Hell Lords who relied on himself to climb up from the bottom step by step. The other Hell Lords are either fallen celestial beings or ancient evil creatures that are naturally powerful.

Only Bayer is still in the promotion sequence of Baator Hell, and he is a Baatezu devil with "evil roots and black seeds".

The words of the Blackwater Lord obviously hit the sore spot of the Lord of Avernus - or more accurately, the Acting Lord, and raging anger burst out of his dark eyes.

Bayer flapped his wings, flames burned the earth, and his angry roar resounded through the sky: "Filthy demon, you are seeking death!"

“Hahahaha, don’t worry, Bayer. All of this is meaningless—because Avernus will soon become part of the Abyss! It’s a pity that you can’t witness this great scene!”

The Blackwater Lord stretched out his twisted tentacles and attacked the devil in the sky. His huge body as big as a mountain continued to wriggle, greedily devouring everything that stood in his way.

Hundreds of tentacles whipped over at an extremely fast speed, causing the air to emit a sharp explosion. As the tentacles waved, black water splashed into the sky and fell like raindrops again.

"Pathetic hellish bastard, I will represent the great will of the abyss and devour you!"

Facing the slime-soaked tentacles, Bayer's sharp claws tightly grasped the Purgatory Sword and slashed across swiftly, with the blade bursting out with hellfire that shot up into the sky.

The moment he swung his sword, the whole of Avernus trembled, as if submitting to the power of this lord.

"Shua——"

The space is torn apart!

And those hundreds of tentacles were all cut off!
A scar hundreds of meters long appeared in the sky. The magma in it was like blood, flowing slowly like a waterfall, swallowing up the black water flowing on the earth.

The hellfire climbed up the Blackwater Lord along its hundreds-meter-long tentacles, continuously burning his huge body and causing the evil creature to howl and roar in pain.

"You ignorant, inferior creature! In front of the might of the abyss, everything you have is worthless!"

The Blackwater Lord spewed out surging black water, forming a foul and filthy torrent that rushed across the earth, as if to devour everything of Avernus and turn it into its own nourishment.

"This is Avernus - every day, every minute, every second from now on, it will be my territory!"

The Purgatory Sword in Bayer's hand expanded wildly, turning into a giant sword hundreds of meters long, deeply inserted into the ground.

"boom!"

The earth continued to rumble and tremble. At Bayer's command, the earth's crust slowly cracked, and an unfathomable crack that was more than ten kilometers long and deep appeared on the vast wasteland.

"boom!"

Pillars of magma and fire gushed out from the cracks, rising into the sky and mixing with the filthy black slime.

In an instant, crackling sounds were heard, bursts of thick black smoke rose, and the black water boiled!
"Kill that hell bastard!" The tentacles of the Blackwater Lord danced wildly in the sky.

At its command, tens of thousands of Pioneers of Decay flapped their wings in disorder, like a spreading dark cloud, rushing towards the Hellfire not far away.

Yet Bayer never acts alone.

"Quick, let's go help Master Baier! We can't let him fight alone for us!"

"Defend Avernus to the death!"

The devils would not miss this good opportunity to compete for military merit. The devil officers raised their steel forks and led their long-preserved and most elite legions to "rescue" and fight with the rotten pioneers.

In the sky, the rotting remains of demons, fragments of armor and weapons, and the bodies of devil warriors kept falling, and foul-smelling mucus fell from the sky, corroding the ground into pits. "Filthy beast, I will let you witness the wrath of Avernus!" Bayer howled to the sky, and the evil energy of hell rushed to his body from all directions, forming a bloody vortex.

Surrounded by the raging hellfire, Bayer's body expanded rapidly, the flames solidified into his blood, the lava gathered into his flesh, and the steel turned into his armor.
At this moment, the devil was like a tall and unmatched lava giant, his body was rock brown, flowing with magma, surrounded by flames and ashes, which was daunting.

A hellish demon hundreds of meters high appeared in the sky, its powerful bat wings blocking out the sun, and just a slight flap could trigger a sulfur storm from hell.

At this moment, Bayer added 70% of Avernus' authority to his own body. In a sense, he was the incarnation of Avernus.

——Only a part of it was stolen by the greedy red dragon.

"Praise Beyer!"

"Long live Lord Bayer!"

"Great lord, great power!"

The Baatezu demons cheered in unison, praising and flattering him endlessly, and among them there was some genuine admiration for his power.

"boom--"

Bayer pulled the giant sword of Purgatory out of the ground, flapped his wings, and flew towards the Blackwater Lord not far away with a monstrous aura: "Get out of my territory! Otherwise, you will die here!"

"Inferior creature! Even with the assistance of Avernus's will, you are vulnerable!" The Blackwater Lord roared and stretched out tentacles covered with black mucus.

The huge body slowly opened, revealing a mouth with a diameter of nearly 50 meters and filled with hundreds of fangs, and it spewed foul-smelling black water that covered the sky towards Bayer. The black water contained teeth as sharp as daggers.

However, before the black water could hit Bayer, it was burned up by the hellfire surrounding Bayer's body, and the fangs were also bounced away by the evil aura.

Bayer gripped the hilt of the Infernal Sword with both hands, raised it high, and stabbed it at the huge and twisted body of the Blackwater Lord.

"Thorn-"

The sharp tip of the sword first pierced through the black water mucus on the body surface, then tore open the thick skin covered with pustules, and finally penetrated deeply into the blood of the Black Water Lord, which was made of an unknown substance.

But Bayer did not show any joy at having seriously injured the enemy. Instead, he frowned and said solemnly: "This is..."

After the Infernal Sword pierced into the body of the Blackwater Lord, it was like stabbing into a man-eating chaotic black hole. Countless tiny mouths grew on his flesh and blood, frantically gnawing at his hellish power.

The Blackwater Lord let out a noisy and piercing laugh: "Hahahaha! You lowly creature, you'll never be able to kill me!"

Damn monster!

The abyss always gave birth to these strange and unreasonable things. Bayer, who had experienced thousands of years of bloody battles, was already accustomed to this.

Although this monster is immortal, fortunately it does not have the ability to harm Bayer. The rotten black water can only hurt ordinary devils and has no effect on the Duke of Hell like Bayer.

"Wow!"

Without any hesitation, Bayer quickly drew out the Infernal Sword, moved quickly behind the Blackwater Lord, and thrust the sword into the ground again.

"boom--"

Another huge, unfathomable crack appeared.

The Blackwater Lord once again stretched out his endless tentacles, trying to wrap around its wings and restrict the devil's ability to move.

But Bayer drew out the Infernal Sword and slashed it diagonally in mid-air. With the blood-red blade light cutting through the sky, several huge tentacles fell to the ground, still twisting, with charred cross-sections.

The Blackwater Lord roared angrily, and more tentacles surged from all directions, but Bayer surrounded the "Black Mountain" and swung the Infernal Sword in his hand continuously, like a bloody storm.

The area where they fought was shrouded in thick black smoke, a mixture of the stench of decay and the smell of burning. Black water constantly condensed into dark clouds, fell to the ground, and corroded the earth into potholes.

The two extremely evil forces collided with each other, creating a terrifying storm comparable to a natural disaster. The demons and devils caught in the battlefield were almost all ruthlessly torn apart, turning into bloody fragments, causing a small-scale blood rain to fall from the sky.

The Blackwater Lord laughed harshly, "Bail, it's useless. Stop struggling. I am immortal! When Avernus' power is gone, you will become my food!"

Bayer remained silent, and still slashed down with his sword, cutting off several tentacles and creating a deep crack on the surface of the earth.

Cassius in the distance narrowed his eyes, staring at the dark shadow in the mist, feeling the fluctuations caused by the collision of the laws, stroking his chin, and said softly: "Haha, this is interesting.

Bayer probably can't kill this disgusting evil creature that looks like a large intestine, so - do you want to exile it?"

Soon, accompanied by the roar of the earth, deep cracks surrounded the Blackwater Lord, like an isolated island, imprisoning this evil creature from the abyss.

"Roar--"

As if he had seen through Bayer's thoughts, the Blackwater Lord frantically squirmed his huge body, trying to break out of the encirclement of the magma.

But how could Bayer give it this opportunity?

The Hell Demon flapped his wings and soared into the sky accompanied by a sulfur storm. He arrived right above the Blackwater Lord and raised the Infernal Sword high in the air.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning emitting blood-red light tore through the sky and struck down from the air. Immediately afterwards, indescribable terrifying power surged in from all directions.

Above the earth, magma flowed and actually formed an inverted pentagram magic circle that symbolized hell. The diameter of this magic circle was over a thousand meters, directly enveloping the Blackwater Lord.

"Ishiniks——"

A ferocious smile appeared on Bayer's face. He flapped his broad bat wings, slowly swung down the Infernal Sword, and issued the final verdict: "In the name of the Lord of Avernus, I exile you!"

The Blackwater Lord roared in panic: "Damn inferior creature! No, you can't--"

"boom!"

However, the inverted pentagram released a huge red light, and the surrounding space gradually twisted and folded. The huge body of the Black Water Lord became increasingly blurred and illusory, as if it was excluded from this world.

All its struggles and counterattacks seem to be in a parallel and non-intersecting time and space, and cannot have any impact on this world. (End of this chapter)
