Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 550, Section 548: The Grand Duke's Demise (Bonus Chapter 2)

Loy enjoys doing business and likes to stimulate the rapid expansion of industrial capacity and the development of magical machinery through large trade orders.
This will bring about a large influx of resources, rapid urban development, population concentration, reduced employment rates, railway and transportation development, market prosperity, and many other benefits.

The most direct manifestation of this is that under Loy's rule, the GDP of Flower Territory remained almost unchanged every year.

This brought him a great deal of wealth, which was increasing at an astonishing rate.

However, just because Roy likes making money doesn't mean he's a miser!
Gintil only works when the money is spent.

Therefore, how could he possibly refuse to ask the red dragon Virgil for help just because he was stingy with some Kintil? Conquering the demiplane is a major event that concerns the future of his territory.
The ancient red dragon had actually arrived long ago, but Luo Yi knew clearly that no matter what, she couldn't put herself in a situation where she was doomed.

Therefore, he guarded the Blood Moon Fragment portal from beginning to end and never left.

Loy was unaware that the Grand Duke of Toledo was hiding a legend, and used himself as bait to lure him further away, thus creating an opportunity for the tree shepherd.

But with the ancient red dragon guarding the final pass, he felt more at ease than anyone else.

Because of the portal, the red dragon Virgil did not stay put to guard the place. Instead, he raised his ferocious head and unleashed a terrifying, fan-shaped dragon breath towards the Treant.

The tree shepherd was controlled by Grand Duke Toledo, but its fighting instincts remained, and it spun around in place, waving its hands.

As a result, countless branches grew wildly, intertwined, and erected a huge tree wall out of thin air.

However, the dragon's breath was so domineering, even more intense than magma. Upon contact, the tree wall was shattered and burst into flames.

However, this tree wall has a strange feature: the dragon's breath burns it quickly, but the tree wall grows even faster.

Densely packed, countless tree roots intertwined, growing thicker and larger in an instant, like a real city wall.

But the next second, a loud crash was heard, flames splattered, the tree wall shattered, and the ferocious dragon head broke through, its massive body crushing countless tree roots.

The ancient red dragon Virgil charged straight at them.

After breaking through the tree wall, he slammed his strong legs into the ground, and a visible shockwave rolled across the earth.

The red dragon lunged forward again, crashing directly into the treant. Its massive claws spread wide, pinning the treant to the ground.

The other dragon claw clenched into a fist and slammed down, hammering again and again, shaking the heavens and the earth.

This ancient red dragon always boasts to people that it's about to die of old age, but what is the reality?
He fights other legends, either using dragon breath or hand-to-hand combat. Although he is proficient in dragon language magic, he doesn't like to use it.

However, that tree shepherd is not bad either!

This forest was created by him, and all the ancient trees were under his control; it was his natural home ground.

In hand-to-hand combat, he was completely dominated by the ancient red dragon, but in terms of regeneration, he was practically immortal unless the entire forest was destroyed.

Not to mention, roots sprouted from the ground, dancing wildly in the air, trying to bind the dragon's body.

However, they were all broken free by the red dragon, or burned to ashes by a single breath of dragon fire.

The scene was that the red dragon was chasing after the treant, and although the treant couldn't win in hand-to-hand combat, he always had various ways to restrict his movements.

Their battles, even by legendary standards, were truly extraordinary.

Wherever it passed, trees snapped, the earth trembled, and thunder roared—it was incredibly powerful!

At the location of the portal, ten more magic tanks rolled out and were stationed in all directions.

There were also tactical squads that built defensive fortifications, set up heavy machine guns, and formed defensive positions.

Now, we can only rely on them to protect the key locations.

However, on the ground battlefield, Crimson City has been almost completely cleared out, and the vampires have been nearly wiped out.

Everywhere were ruins and piles of corpses, forming a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

As for those of the dark race, those who didn't die on the battlefield have all gone far away.

They didn't actually flee, mainly because the legends were still fighting, and they didn't dare to run away.

But they didn't have the guts to continue the attack, so they hid among the trees in the forest, waiting to see what would happen next.

As for the Imperial Guard soldiers, they were already busy with their tasks under Deep Blue's precise commands.

Some built fortifications and drove tanks to the edge of the forest, assuming a posture ready to attack at any time.

Some cleaned up the battlefield, giving the remaining Dark Race members a final shot to end their suffering.

Others treated the wounded, providing basic first aid before transporting them to field hospitals in the rear.

There was even a team of priests from the Church of the Sun God, who were specifically responsible for summoning holy light, clearing away the blood plague, and delivering the souls of the dead.

They appeared quite busy, but organized in their work. They would only occasionally look up at the sky, feeling the waves of heart-pounding vibrations, their expressions showing a hint of worry.

But as it turns out, their worries were completely unnecessary.

Above the sky, Luo Yi raised her hand and placed the Angel's Ring on her head.

A vast, sacred aura surged into his body, like flowing into a rushing river, instantly transforming into battle qi.

Taking advantage of the situation, Luo Yi activated two more secret sacred techniques.

This time, he chose [Muscle Overlord] and [Sea God's Protection], both powerful holy skills that can directly enhance his combat strength.

Then, his holy fire and battle aura surged at an unreasonable speed, and with a casual slash of his divine sword, the holy fire and battle aura transformed into a long whip. The whip then became round, its ends connecting to envelop an area of ​​a hundred meters in radius.

Of course, the Grand Duke of Toledo was also caught in the crossfire.

At that moment, Luo Yi smiled and said, "This time, you're really going to die!"

The holy light shone down, casting a pale glow on the face of the Grand Duke of Toledo.

His crimson domain had been compressed to five meters around his body. Even with a massive supply of blood demonic power, it could barely exert any power under the absolute suppression of the Holy Flame.

His body was covered in wounds, his elegant gentleman's clothes were torn to shreds, and his clothes were stained with blood.

He held a butcher's knife in his hand. This sacred weapon of the vampires should have displayed its great power, but it seemed so powerless in the face of the shining artifact.

Even the wails of the dead seem outwardly fierce but inwardly weak.

As an old monster who has lived for countless years, when has he ever been so miserable?

At this moment, Grand Duke Toledo stared at Loy, his resentment and hatred almost palpable.

"You win this round! But our feud isn't over yet!"

"This is absolutely not over!"

The venomous voice was still echoing in the air when Grand Duke Toledo charged forward.

He acted like a madman, no longer defending himself, not caring about his own life, only wanting to injure the enemy.

He not only wielded his butcher's knife to its fullest extent, but also used his claws, teeth, wings, tail, and blood magic...

He used every means at his disposal just to leave a wound on Luo Yi.

This is a desperate struggle, a fight for survival!
If the strength of the two sides is similar, this kind of "life-risking" fighting style is the most terrifying.

The saying "the tough are afraid of the reckless" is not just a casual remark. However, when the difference in strength is too great, risking one's life is futile.

Loy did not dodge, but instead went to meet him head-on, and with a speed and ferocity that surpassed his, she suppressed all of Grand Duke Toledo's attacks.

Inevitably, Luo Yi suffered some injuries; the butcher's knife and claws slashed across his body, leaving several bloody marks.
The Blood Domain is unleashing its power again, attempting to drain Luo Yi's blood dry!

However, in just a moment, under the overwhelming force of life, these wounds healed rapidly, leaving no trace on the skin.

The Grand Duke of Toledo paid a much higher price.

He was nearly dismembered; three of his limbs were cut off, leaving only his left leg; one of his eyes was gouged out; his wings were severed at the root; and his heart was pierced with seven or eight holes.

The only reason he was still alive at this moment was because of the vampire's powerful vitality.

At this moment, he was already fighting desperately, compressing his vast blood demon power until it was about to explode into a single point.

The damage from elemental impact is quite astonishing!
But at this moment, Loy rushed forward, grabbed his neck with her left hand, and holy flames bloomed and spread, completely enveloping Grand Duke Toridor.

Luo Yi's icy voice rang out: "Trying to self-destruct? No way!"

"In my name, divine judgment!"

A beam of holy light descended from the sky, completely enveloping Loy and Grand Duke Torido. Loy was naturally unaffected, but Grand Duke Torido let out a shrill scream.

He didn't utter a sound even when his hands and feet were chopped off, but now he couldn't stop screaming in agony.

Because this is not just physical harm, but also a judgment on the soul.

Let alone the blood-stained Grand Duke Torido, even the vegetarian Grand Duke Karen would probably not be able to withstand this kind of torture.

"Luo Yi, Luo Yi!"

"Remember this: our feud is not over yet! Not over!"

This was the final curse of the Grand Duke of Toledo, and then he turned to ashes under the holy light and flames.

Thus, Grand Duke Alessandro Kec Toredo perished!
However, Luo Yi did not relax at all.

Even 'Blackfire' Farin Zacharias has a way to resurrect himself, let alone this vampire monster who has lived for countless years.

At best, we can only say that we have achieved a partial victory!

With a slight bow of her head, Luo Yi noticed that the Karen couple and the aged vampire, the progenitor of the dark werewolf, were locked in a fierce battle.

The two sides no longer stopped at mere skirmishes, but instead engaged in a bloody battle that was many times more intense than before.

Luo Yi was a little confused, but after looking closely, she laughed.

The severed arm holding a butcher's knife was the center of their struggle.

Clearly, the fact that Roy had just severed Torid's right hand, along with the sacred weapon, the Butcher's Blade, had aroused the greed of the four legends.

The problem is, these are his spoils of war, who would dare to take them?

Just as Roy was about to rush down and teach them a lesson, she heard the roar of the red dragon Virgil.

"Luo Yi, Luo Yi, come help me!"
