Ashen Dragon-Chapter 615 - 56 Revenge

Cassius forcefully trampled on the back of the Abyssal Giant Dragon, his sharp claws suddenly piercing through the scales, leaving behind gaping bloody holes.

"Roar——"

The Abyssal Giant Dragon once again raged, struggling incessantly, swinging the remains of its back limbs, crashing into nearby hills.

But Cassius seized the opportunity once more, leaping forward as the Abyssal Giant Dragon turned. He latched onto an unhealed wound on its neck, ripping flesh and skin away.

"Shriek——"

A vast mist of blood exploded from the side of the Abyssal Giant Dragon’s neck, chunks of flesh torn away, eliciting agonized screeches from the beast.

Blood rained down profusely from the sky as Cassius bathed in the spatter, indulging in the carnage with a savage smile on his draconic face, becoming even more fearsome.

Soon, the Abyssal Giant Dragon’s neck and head were mangled beyond recognition, with scales lifted and pieces of flesh ripped mercilessly.

Had it been a regular giant dragon, it might have breathed its last by now.

But Gelrazax was a progeny of the Abyss, the possessed Abyssal Lord feared and called "God Scourge" by the Heavenly Legion.

Even with the repression of "Imperial Region: Seal Exclusion," he clung to life with stubborn vitality.

Beneath Cassius, the Abyssal Giant Dragon struggled more fiercely.

Finally, Gelrazax flung the Red Dragon brutally off his back, uttering frantic murmurs and whispers from his rotting throat.

"If only I could devour you...

If only I could eat you, I would be able..."

However, Cassius transformed into a scarlet afterimage, charging to the side of the Abyssal Giant Dragon, his sharp claws sweeping across the massive arm.

"Swipe——"

Blood sprayed again, followed by a crisp sound. Gelrazax’s colossally thick left arm revealed ghastly white bones, then thunderously snapped.

"Cas, Cassius..."

"I wish to kill..."

The body of the Abyssal Giant Dragon heavily sank as it limped, unsteadily turning towards Cassius, exhaling a foul-smelling, wild wind, endeavoring to strike back feebly.

But the Red Dragon’s scarlet silhouette once again swept beneath him, tearing away large chunks of scale-covered flesh—this time from the left hind leg.

"Boom——"

The remaining limbs of the Abyssal Giant Dragon finally succumbed to the immense weight, bending under the horror as the mountainous dragon body collapsed with labored breathing.

"Exhale, exhale..."

Within Cassius’s Imperial Region, Gelrazax, who possessed the power of the Abyss and the body of the Ancestral Dragon, was as helpless as a beast for slaughter.

"Arrgh..."

But the Abyssal Giant Dragon still tried to rear its head, reaching toward the Red Dragon.

With obsidian and crimson eyes, Gelrazax’s expression was ferocious and maniacal, ignoring his nearly severed head and the waterfall of blood from his wounds, writhing madly, even facing upward towards the sky.

His will was all that remained—

—It was the instinct to devour the Red Dragon’s body containing the Heart of Karex and become the Dragon of the Apocalypse.

"Bang!"

Cassius mercilessly stomped the gaping maw’s head into the ground and kicked up billows of dust, and the neck’s connection simply snapped apart, leaving only tattered flesh and throat to remain connected.

The Red Dragon slowly lifted its claw, and an invisible strength descended, pinning the head of the Abyssal Giant Dragon firmly.

Yet Gelrazax’s profound eyes still glared at the Red Dragon, pupils shimmering with endless greed and hatred.

Cassius continued forward, chuckling lightly, his pale golden pupils expressing amused curiosity, "Tsk tsk, look at you now, Gelrazax.

The former Abyssal Lord, now merely looking like livestock about to be butchered."

"Exhale, exhale..."

Gelrazax gasped heavily, and at this final moment, it seemed he finally regained his false "sanity".

He bared his incomplete, bony mouth like a Dragon Lich, emitting a chilling sneer.

"Ha ha... Cassius, do you really think you have achieved the ultimate victory?

It’s useless, Red Dragon, you have already been targeted by the great Will of the Abyss. I might have failed, but the fate of world destruction is destined.

And you, you will never escape. One day, your heart will be devoured, your wings will be broken, and your head will be cut off..."

Gelrazax’s voice was hoarse, his expression twisted as he cast the most venomous, hateful curse at the Red Dragon in front of him.

"Gelrazax..."

But Cassius simply walked calmly up to the Abyssal Giant Dragon’s chest, extending his sharp claw, and then suddenly swung it down.

"Slash—"

The sound of flesh being torn sounded, and the low curse abruptly stopped.

Polluted blood gushed out like a flood, the already injured flesh was cut open, revealing the blood-drenched internal organs.

"Oh?"

Cassius looked somewhat surprised.

It turned out that what appeared before his eyes was not a beating heart, but—a huge Winged Demon, more accurately, a Barlow Flame Demon.

The demon, suspended in the center of the chest, was connected by numerous blood vessels and membranes, constantly pumping blood that shimmered with a deep light and contained Chaotic Power throughout the dragon’s body.

This demon had merged with the remnants of Karex, their flesh intertwined, emitting a black and red Chaos Flame, already indistinguishable from each other.

This was Gelrazax’s true demonic form.

"A demon heart, like Asadron’s, I didn’t expect him to actually put it into practice."

Cassius couldn’t help but marvel.

Suddenly, the demon merged into Karex’s body opened its eyes violently, its eyes burning with blazing flames of revenge, and it laughed wildly.

"Cassius, a creature targeted by the Will of the Abyss will never be free. I’ll be waiting for you in the Abyss!

When the time comes, I will make you understand—"

However, Cassius had no patience to listen to its words. The Red Dragon simply opened its massive jaws wide, and a blinding light of fire burst from its throat.

"Boom!"

A thick Pillar of Fire blasted out, that Breath carrying the Law Power of the Imperial Region, directly turned the demon that had become a heart into ashes.

A piercing scream arose, an invisible elongated demonic shadow soared into the sky, emitting a soul-piercing screech: "Hahaha! I’ll be waiting for you in the Abyss!"

Abyssal demons, as long as they die outside the Abyss, their will shall be reborn in the Blood Pools.

Therefore, even the Gods find it difficult to thoroughly kill a demon; sealing them in the star realm was already the best choice.

However, with a thought from Cassius, the power of the Imperial Region locked the surrounding space, preventing material, spirit, or soul from escaping.

The soul screech of Gelrazax abruptly ceased.

"How is it possible?

The great Will of the Abyss was supposed to send me back to the Blood Pools for rebirth..."

The Red Dragon flapped its wings, soared into the air, tilted its head, and feigned confusion as it asked, "Haven’t you heard a saying from within the Imperial Region?"

Cassius stretched out his giant claw, easily grabbed the soul, and then flames of hot Dragonflame burst from the palm of his hand.

"No—"

"Cassius, let me go—"

Piercing wails rang out, the ghostly shadow struggled, screamed, and even begged in the fiercely burning flames.

"Red Dragon’s revenge, eradicates the roots."

Cassius’s expression was indifferent, the reflection of flames and the struggling dark shadow mirrored in his pale golden pupils, as he slightly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a ferocious smile.
