Ember Dragon

Koschechi roared at the top of his lungs, swung his battle axe, and chopped hard at the red dragon's head. A strong wind pressure erupted around him, and a deep and dim light emerged from the axe blade.

Countless huge, twisted demonic shadows appeared in the sky, dragging the red dragon's legs and entwining his body, as if trying to swallow him into a bottomless abyss.

But several huge magic vortexes emerged from Cassius' claws, bursting out with a strong attraction, swallowing up all the power of the abyss. At the same time, a light purple light appeared on his body surface again.

——This is his last ten-ring spell slot as a legendary true dragon warlock.

Eternal freedom!

The red dragon suddenly spread its wings, soared into the sky, and turned into an afterimage dragging flames. It broke through the shackles of the chaotic fog and leaped to a height of ten thousand meters.

He swallowed Matalotok into the other-dimensional space in his stomach without hesitation, and would not let the Frost Giant get it no matter what.

"Shh-"

Koschechi's battle axe hit nothing, splitting the space in front of him and creating a deep rift hundreds of meters long. Tens of thousands of twisted, ugly demons poured out of it, making noisy roars.

He was surrounded by thick black fog and was breathing heavily. He was staring at the red dragon in the sky with anger and hatred in his eyes.

"reptile--"

"boom!"

A flame like a divine punishment fell from the sky, carrying the momentum of destroying everything, and directly pierced through the body of the Tanar'ri Frost Giant.

But soon, the thick fog from the abyss poured into the wound and instantly turned into wriggling flesh and blood, filling the charred hole.

The Tanar'ri Frost Giant was unharmed, but became even more angry, with fire burning in his eyes and his roar making everything tremble.

Koschechi pounced on him again, but Cassius dodged nimbly, and the silver flame of order gushed out from the depths of his throat.

The Tanar'ri Frost Giant was covered in silver-white flames, wailing in agony and frenzy. His flesh and blood were constantly burned, but he was reborn again and again.

"The Essence of Immortality"

Cassius felt the demigod-level abyss pressure, staring at the huge and ferocious body of the Tanar'ri Frost Giant, frowning slightly.

"Matalotok could only suppress that divine power for a moment.
Even if it temporarily loses its divine power, this Tanari Frost Giant still has the essence of a demigod and cannot be killed by ordinary means. We can't delay it any longer." He thought so.

"Since it is in Avernus." The red dragon manipulated the power of Avernus in his body, and drew a burning sword from the void with his sharp claws, and raised it high: "Then use the power of hell to kill him!"

"Om-"

A force containing the laws of hell spans the sky, controlling this plane. Endless hell flames rise from the ground and rush towards the red dragon in the sky.

Cassius sent a voice message to the Deep Hell Demon in the distance: "Byer, I need to borrow your power. Only the complete authority of Hell can kill a demigod-level frost giant!"

Bayer's expression darkened instantly, and anger was hidden in his tone: "This is impossible! I am the Lord of Avernus recognized by Lord Asmodeus!"

Cassius dodged the Frost Giant's angry punch and continued to transmit his voice: "Bail, you have to think clearly! If you don't kill Koschech now, when he regains his sanity and finds his divine power, the whole of Avernus will fall!"

"The Burning Embers Empire's foundation is in the main material plane. Even if the entire Hell is occupied by the Abyss, I will only lose a few enclaves, and I won't be hurt at all."

"But if Koschechi occupies Avernus, you will become a stray dog ​​again! There will be no place for you in the entire multiverse!" Cassius' tone was extremely fierce.

Bayer asked, "Then why don't you let me kill Him with the full power of Hell?"

"You can't beat Him."

Bayer gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't trust you, Cassius. You are more greedy and shameless than us devils."

Cassius smiled and dodged the axe that fell from the sky again: "We can sign a contract. Styx is always the most fair, isn't it?"

"boom!"

The crazy Koschechi chopped the ground with his axe, causing the earth to tremble and emit a dull whine.

After a moment of silence, Bayer looked at the extremely crazy Tanari Frost Giant that destroyed everything, and felt a lingering fear. Finally, he said weakly:

"it is good."

The contract was signed, and the Hellfire Demon threw the Infernal Sword with a look of heartache, allowing Cassius to catch it in mid-air.

The power of the two handles merged with each other, emitting terrifying fluctuations, causing raging hellfire to sweep across the sky, burning everything, and even Koschechi let out a painful howl.

A thousand-meter-long purgatory sword gradually emerged in the sky, emitting a terrifying pressure. It was the embodiment of Avernus' supreme power, what all demons dreamed of.

"Look!"

"That power is like Zariel in the past!"

"Is that the power held by the Lord of Hell? But - how did it appear in the claws of the Burning Emperor?"

"Yes, this should belong to Master Bayer!"

The devils looked at the Infernal Sword in the sky and started talking among themselves. These treacherous and cunning guys seemed to have guessed something, and their eyes turned towards Bayer with amusement.

Perhaps, in Avernus, Bayer is not the only one who can be trusted.

Cassius stretched out his claws, grasped the hilt of the Infernal Sword, and immediately felt a supreme power bestowed on him.

The structure of the plane and the laws of the world flooded into the red dragon's mind, and it seemed as if he was in the realm of gods.

Avernus now seemed like a game to Cassius, and he had the authority of an administrator, could easily change everything, and even had the power to fight against the gods.

This is the Lord of the Plane!
This is the power of the Lord of Hell!
“What a wonderful power.”

At this moment, Cassius finally understood why Bayer was so obsessed with the Iron Throne. Even he could not resist the feeling of being in control of everything.

But now, the most important thing is to kill Koschechi and end this invasion of the abyss.

"Roar--"

The red dragon raised its head and roared, the roar resounding through the sky. The authority of hell slowly merged into the huge dragon body, and endless hellfire rushed towards him.

The scorching hellfire gradually gathered together and condensed into flesh, scales and even bones.

Finally, a giant dragon with a dark red body and shaped like an ancient Hellfire Dragon appeared in the sky. It was nearly 500 meters long, with flowing lava all over its surface and entangled by surging hellfire, like the incarnation of purgatory.

As long as ordinary people look at that majestic and ferocious figure, they will instantly think of all the evil and depravity in the world, murder, betrayal, indulgence, and slaughter. They will sink into it and be unable to extricate themselves.

Their souls will also fall directly into Avernus, becoming inferior petitioners polluted by the hell of Baator, and suffer eternal pain.

"Roar--"

There was another earth-shaking roar, and this time the roar revealed supreme pressure.

For a moment, no matter it was hellhounds, original demons or little devils, almost all creatures in hell had an irresistible urge to worship.

"Lord of the Nine Hells." "What on earth is this?"

"How is it possible? Could it be that the red dragon is the embodiment of Avernus' will?"

"What a majestic figure! What a powerful being!"

Hearing the demons' exclamations, Bayer felt very uncomfortable. He clenched his fists and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "These should all belong to me, belong to me!"

With the unreserved prayers of the Tanari Frost Giants, Kostchechi finally regained a little sanity, and a divine power of frost emanated from his body.

The angry lord raised his head, looked up at the majestic dragon figure in disbelief, and said in a hoarse voice: "No, it's impossible!"

"How could that Pit Hell Fiend allow you to obtain complete authority? How could that old fellow from Nessus allow a five-colored dragon to become the true lord of Hell!"

Koschechi's eyes turned red, and he looked at the red dragon in the sky, his anger growing even greater.

"I see."

The Tanari Frost Giant stood on the scorching hot ground covered with fire, raised the frost battle axe in his hand, pointed it at the sky, and roared angrily: "Damn reptile, you are bluffing!"

"go to hell--"

Koschechi leaped up, swung his battle axe, and released all his icy power.

His whole body exuded an extreme chill, and the surging chaotic black fog jumped tens of thousands of meters high. The battle axe chopped fiercely at the huge red dragon.

Cassius flapped his wings, stirring up a scorching storm, and roared: "Koschechi, in the name of Avernus -"

"Grant you death!"

The bloody mouth that was big enough to swallow a giant alive slowly opened, and dark red hellfire gushed out from the depths of its throat.

Many bizarre and grotesque demonic figures emerged from the hellfire:

Among them are the petitioners howling in pain, the little devils laughing wildly, the lustful demons who bewitched mortals with beautiful words, and the ambitious hell demons who led the hell army to fight.
This is the collection of all the evil, greed, pain, and hatred in Avernus. It is also the embodiment of the order of hell and the extreme order formed by the creatures of hell in the cruel purgatory.

All of this finally came together and appeared deep in the throat of the hell dragon incarnated by Cassius, condensing into an extremely evil and filthy hellfire.

This is the breath that contains the laws of Baator Hell, enough to break through the essence of immortality—

Breath of Hell!

"boom!"

The hellfire covered the sky and the sun, pouring out like a violent wave. The flames danced like devil snakes, ravaging the world and rushing towards the Tanar'ri Frost Giant in the air.

Koschechi in the sky felt the strong fluctuation of the law, and a look of fear finally appeared on his ugly and ferocious face.

This familiar smell.
This is the pure will of Avernus, without any falsehood!

Without any hesitation, the Frost Giant swung his battle axe wildly, trying to cut out a deep rift in the abyss, leaving behind tens of millions of demons and hundreds of Tanar'ri Frost Giants, and escape alone.

But Cassius was well prepared. The dimensional chains formed by hellfire had already blocked Avernus. Not to mention the Lord of the Abyss, not even a fly could escape.

"Do not--"

Koschechi released tremendous divine power. In an instant, the wind was cold, the earth was shaking, and the magma was frozen.

Along with a roar, countless icebergs rose from the ground and turned into a solid ice wall stretching for thousands of meters, blocking his way.

At the same time, the thick fog of the abyss turned into pitch-black armor, covering His body.

Kostchech roared, "Casius! I am the co-lord of the Frost Giants, a true god, and the darling of the abyss!

I have gone through tens of thousands of years, countless hardships and sufferings, to gain the strength I have today. What qualifications do you have to be my enemy? ! "

The cold wind spread wildly, freezing everything within it, and even time and space were solidified at that moment.

But soon, raging hellfire poured out, melting the icebergs, the snow, and the surrounding world began to flow again, occupied by dark red flames, turning into a blazing sea of ​​fire with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters.

Koschechi stood in the sea of ​​fire, his body wrapped in flames, and he let out painful roars.

"No! I am the great king of the frost giants, the Lord of Wrath!"

The chaotic fog on his body's surface fought against the hellfire and soon fell into a disadvantage. The hellfire burned his skin, corroded the demon's heart from the abyss, and even disintegrated Koschechi's immortal essence.

"I am immortal!"

But soon, his roar was drowned out by the crackling sound of the flames.

Cassius increased his strength and released the Breath of Hell with all his strength. A thick pillar of fire with a diameter of one hundred meters burst out from the depth of his throat, instantly submerging the Tanar'li Frost Giant.

In the dark red column of fire, blurry human figures could be vaguely seen, and extremely painful, heart-wrenching wails could be heard.

In the end, in this surging sea of ​​hellfire, only a skeleton was left standing. The skeleton was charred black all over, like an ancient sculpture, still showing the posture of the Frost Giant when he was alive.

It knelt on one knee, stretched its right hand as far as it could towards the red dragon, opened its mouth wide, and its face was ferocious. Endless anger and hatred seemed to be seen in its empty eyes.

The ancient demon lord, the god of the Tanar'ri frost giants, the wrathful lord Kostchech, has perished!

Under the erosion of hellfire, Koschechi's strong body was destroyed, and even His soul was torn into pieces.

As the Eternal Evil, He might be reborn in the filthy blood pool of the Abyss, with hatred becoming even stronger, but He can only become an ordinary demonic frost giant.

The sky of hell returned to its blood-red color, and the majestic dragon that was five hundred meters long spread its wings that covered the sky and overlooked all living beings.

"Koschuch is dead!"

"Lord of the Nine Hells, the angry lord is dead!"

"Emperor Kai is invincible!"

Inside the Hell Legion’s camp, the devils and players were amazed and cheering, but the demons had faces filled with fear and even despair—especially the Tanar’ri Frost Giants.

"Lord Koschechi, He, He is dead!"

"This is impossible!"

"Hurry, let's go back to the Iron Ice Field. That master is immortal. He will definitely be reborn in the abyss!"

In an instant, the demons were in chaos and noise. Tens of millions of demons fled in all directions, running aimlessly in the wilderness of Avernus.

"Ow—"

A loud, long howl came from the sky, reaching the ears of every creature in Avernus - Cassius blew the final horn of counterattack. (End of this chapter)
