Ashen Dragon-Chapter 1203 - 352: Deep Red Embers

At last, the ancient Red Dragon fully emerged from the lava pool, the magma flowing like filthy and dirty blood, cascading off the mountain-like body.

His scales were like hot metal just taken from the forge, shining with the luster of liquid flame, creating heat waves that twisted the view.

The shadow cast by his enormous body instantly devoured large swathes of burning territory.

In the next moment, the ancient Red Dragon raised his head high, his maw suddenly opened, revealing an unbearably bright incandescence compressed to the extreme!

"Roar——"

The blinding flame pierced the sky, a thunderous roar erupted!

The sound waves compressed the lava in the pool instantly, then surged into massive waves dozens of meters high, shaking loose rocks from the lava wall, melting into red droplets mid-air before they hit the ground.

The whole space trembled, groaned, and wailed under this Dragon’s Roar!

The echoes of the roar still violently shook in the scorching air, as the giant Dragon slowly lowered his head.

Those dark golden eyes, now clearer, swept over the flowing river of lava in the cavern and jagged black rock pillars, embers seemed to settle deep within the pupils.

Red Dragon stared at the sky, and surprisingly lowered its head slowly, the massive chest slightly rising and falling, each beat like a heavy pulse from the depths of the earth.

The massive maw slightly parted, between the sharp teeth leaked a deep, rumbling throat sound like thunder rolling through the earth’s core. That sound carried an ancient and indifferent penetrating force, clearly resonating amid the lava’s boiling clamor:

"Following Your will, His Majesty Tiamat, it seems... we can only initiate the final plan."

"Rest assured, it won’t be long before the traitor’s body will be at Your disposal, and the Fianso Continent——and even the entire Material Plane, will welcome Your arrival." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The light of the magma flickered in his eyes, in those dark golden pupils, the will of destruction was continuously spreading, increasingly occupying his mind.

"Roar——"

Once more, the ancient Red Dragon raised its head, howling towards the sky.

The earth quaked violently with it, shivering, roaring, the long-dormant volcanoes suddenly awoke.

The sky turned blood red, magma surged like a boiling sea from the cracked crust, streaming down to fragment the earth; it was like the blood vessels of the earth, winding through the mountains, consuming all in its fiery path.

Volcanic ash covered the sky and obscured the sun, frantically spreading at unimaginable speed, like the arrival of the apocalypse, countless ashes floated in the air, shrouding everything around in a veil of gray.

And outside the Pacaya Volcano, people gazed at the volcanic ash shrouding the sky, the pouring lava, panicking, uttering noisy cries: "Oh Gods——the apocalypse! The Day of the End has arrived!"

"Could this be the punishment of the Sun God?"

"Amanata above!"

"The lava is coming, we must go!"

Yet among the crowd, there stood a man wrapped all over in bandages, gazing silently in despair at the gray sky.

Someone frantically patted his shoulder, reminding: "Raymond, why are you still standing here? Want to be burned to ash by the lava?"

"Go?" The man called "Raymond" let out a bitter laugh, removed the bandages wrapped around him, revealing shocking burn marks on his skin: "Give up, we can’t escape."

He looked up, gazing at the dark sky, seeing that enormous and sinister figure through the veil of ash, his voice trembling as he murmured: "It really is him... Deep Red Embers, Kazuul."

"Ka, Kazuul?"

Upon hearing this name, the crowd was suddenly thunderstruck, faces filled with expressions of despair and fear, as if hearing the most terrifying story in the world.

"Deep Red Embers" Kazuul, he was one of the "Three Dragon Gods" of the Dragon Worship Church, an esteemed Retainer of the Five-Colored Dragon Queen, the most powerful and brutal existence among them.

Years ago, during that brutal "Three Emperor Warfare", the weakest Kingdom of Seleucis retreated step by step under the fierce attack of the Kingdom of Cassandra, losing hundreds of kilometers of vast territory, its army ruthlessly destroyed by the Titan Divine Descendant.

It was in this moment of extreme despair that Kazuul appeared, leading many Seleucis soldiers to fight valiantly, turning the tide, this general, relying on his powerful strength, remained undefeated, capturing cities, and in just a few days, repelled the Cassandra army from the North.

From then on, Kazuul’s fame soared within Seleucis, he was personally appointed as Marshal by King Philip Aragon, and the people of Seleucis respectfully called him "Chosen One" "Descended from the Heavens" "Marshal Favored by the Divine" "Victory Angel".

Yet after the glorious victory, Kazuul did not humbly restrain himself, instead accepting the title of "Descended from the Heavens", establishing a sect to worship himself [Chosen God Church], loudly proclaiming he would be the savior of the world, the next Divine, attracting many worshipping followers.

And this sect was the predecessor of the [Dragon Worship Church].

For some reason, despite such blatantly overreaching behavior, King Philip not only did not stop it, but instead vigorously supported it from behind Kazuul, allowing this emerging sect to flourish.

Until the "Ash Day" arrived, everything changed.

Under the blazing sunlight, hundreds of thousands of [Chosen God Church] followers gathered in the outskirts of Sunset City, erecting tall altars, singing their passionate hymns in unison, fervently cheering "Chosen One" Kazuul’s name.
