Mystic Calling：Stone of Glory-Chapter 65: A massacre

Hydra reacted with incredible speed—its multiple heads twisted through the air, spinning in a full 360-degree motion as it collided head-on with the charging Seraphina!

In an instant, a violent gust howled through the battlefield, the ground trembled beneath them—

Even Blackmire Castle itself shook from the impact!

Cracks spread like a spiderweb, splitting across the ground, crawling up the castle walls, reaching out in every direction—

As if the sheer force of their clash was tearing everything apart!

ROAR!

Seizing the moment, Cicero dove down from above—

His claws slashed deep into Hydra’s body!

SPLURT!

Blood sprayed into the air!

"ROOOOAAARRR!!"

Hydra let out a piercing, agonized scream!

One-on-one, Cicero—still in his juvenile stage—might have been at a disadvantage.

But two against one?

Especially when this Hydra was already wounded and weakened?

Even if it were at full strength, Cicero was absolutely confident he could take it on!

After all, this Hydra was just a Legendary Unit—not a Crimson Ultimate Hero!

And without reaching Mythic rank, it had no right to even be compared to a Crimson Ultimate!

BOOM!!!

Suddenly, Hydra’s nine eyes flared blood-red—

Its heads whipped around wildly, launching a frenzied attack at blinding speed!

It moved so fast that afterimages flickered in the air as it struck toward Cicero and Seraphina!

"Wait—this is...!"

"Right! Cleave and Multi-Headed Attack!"

Ethan’s eyes narrowed as he instantly recognized the move!

Back in his past life, in Glory Lords X, Hydra’s innate abilities were Cleave and Multi-Headed Attack—

A devastating area attack with stacking damage!

The more enemies it faced, the more ferocious its attacks became—

And with multiple heads striking at once, Multi-Headed Attack only grew stronger and deadlier!

Clearly, this Hydra was now unleashing both Cleave and Multi-Headed Attack at full force!

SLASH!

But Cicero and Seraphina were faster!

They dodged out of Hydra’s attack range in an instant—

Then, with a powerful beat of their wings, they soared high into the sky!

"ROOOARRR!!"

Cicero turned to Seraphina, letting out a low growl—suggesting they use their Twin Venomous Dragon Breath!

But—

"ROAR!"

Seraphina shook her head.

Then, with a thunderous roar, she activated her innate ability—Rampage of the Green Dragon!

WHUMMM!

A faint, bloodthirsty glint flickered in Seraphina’s eyes—

At the same time, a violent energy surged around her body!

And that energy—

It wasn’t just an aura anymore.

It was tangible—rippling outward like shockwaves, expanding further and further—

Growing stronger, spreading wider—

And it was only just beginning!

BOOOOM!!!

By the time it reached its peak, the energy around Seraphina had erupted into a crimson storm, swirling violently around her!

At the same time, a familiar system notification rang in Ethan’s ears—

"Your Hero Unit, Seraphina, has activated her innate ability: Rampage of the Green Dragon! Entering Berserk Mode! Countdown: 59 seconds."

SWOOSH!

And then—Seraphina moved!

Her massive dragon form dove straight down, plummeting like a falling meteor—

Like Nightfall itself crashing upon the earth—

Her speed was terrifying.

Her presence, overwhelming.

And in the very next instant—

Her attack struck!

Dragon Claw—Tearing Through the Sky!

SPLAT!!!

A massive, bloodstained claw ripped through flesh, sending a spray of crimson into the air!

"ROOOAAARRR!!"

Hydra let out a shrill, agonized scream—

Three of its heads were obliterated on the spot!

At the same time, Cicero seized the opening—

His jaws parted, and from deep within his throat, a surge of Venomous Dragon Breath erupted forth!

It was as fast as lightning—

As fierce as a thunderclap!

And then—

BOOM!

The venomous blast slammed into Hydra’s body!

A deafening explosion followed—

Blood sprayed in all directions, Hydra’s health plummeted, and its flesh began to rot away, sizzling as it dissolved into a grotesque, festering wound!

Its entire body shuddered violently, barely able to stay upright!

ROAR!

Seraphina’s eyes burned scarlet—

She lunged forward once more—

And delivered the final, fatal blow!

BOOM!!!

Blood splattered.

The ground shook.

And at last—

The Tier-13 Legendary Unit—

The strongest guardian of Blackmire Castle—

Hydra... had fallen.

Its life force extinguished.

Ethan stood there, mouth slightly open.

Then, after a long pause, he let out a helpless chuckle and shook his head.

"That reckless girl..."

If his guess was right, Elynn’s original plan had been to sacrifice the Silver Pegasus Knights to stall the Wyverns—

Then, once the Unicorn Cavalry had wiped out the enemy’s ground forces, they would surround and overwhelm Hydra for the final kill.

But no one had expected Seraphina to just—

Activate Rampage of the Green Dragon on the spot!

She willingly traded three days of weakness—

Just to slay Hydra in a single, unstoppable assault!

"A warrior’s pride, huh?"

Ethan gazed at Seraphina, still standing tall, her body drenched in blood.

He fell into thought.

To walk through the fog of uncertainty—

To explore the unknown, alone—

To fight, drenched in blood, amidst thousands of enemies—

To charge forward, fearless, on the path of the strong—

That was the essence of a true warrior.

And as a Green Dragon warrior, Seraphina was no different.

She carried that same spirit—that same unyielding resolve.

A true warrior never wavered.

A true warrior never ran.

Ethan exhaled, shaking his head again—

But this time, a proud, fatherly smile crept onto his face.

And then—

A new change suddenly erupted on the battlefield!

RUMBLE!

A terrifying storm of dark green energy erupted around Seraphina, swirling violently as it expanded outward, engulfing everything in its path. The sheer force of draconic power radiating from it was overwhelming.

At the same time, a system notification rang in Ethan’s ears.

"Congratulations! Player Valkarion’s Green Dragon hero, Seraphina, has reached Level 15, entering adulthood and beginning evolution!"

"Level 15?!"

Ethan’s pupils contracted. His heart pounded with excitement.

RUMBLE!

The dark green storm grew wilder, larger—far surpassing Hydra’s previous form. It expanded to an immense size, stretching thousands of feet across.

ROAR!

From within the storm, Seraphina let out a cry of pain, her voice filled with agony, as if she were enduring unbearable torment.

"Seraphina, hang in there!"

"This power will transform you! You’ve got this! You’re the strongest—I know you can do it!"

Ethan shouted into the raging storm, his voice raw with urgency, hoping his words would reach her, give her strength.

Evolution—it was the ultimate trial, the final crucible that separated the weak from the truly powerful. Only by enduring this ordeal could one break free from their limits, ascend to godhood, and become a true legend in the world of Glory Lords X!

RUMBLE!

The storm intensified, its energy surging wildly. The vortex at its core expanded, growing into a massive whirlpool of raw elemental force.

And at the very center of it all—a colossal, crystalline emerald.

From every direction, elemental energy began converging, flowing like rivers of pure power, all drawn toward the emerald. Within it, Seraphina was undergoing her transformation, absorbing the energy she needed to complete her evolution.

Seconds passed.

Cracks began to spread across the emerald’s surface.

Then—

CRACK!

A massive dragon claw tore through.

A pair of enormous wings, vast enough to blot out the sky, unfurled.

And then, emerging from the shattered remains of the emerald, a colossal, mythical beast—its form towering like a living legend—stepped into the world.

A dragon.

A Crimson Ultimate hero.

The Colossal Green Dragon!

ROAR!

At that moment, Seraphina threw back her massive wings and let out a deafening roar toward the heavens—like an invisible nuclear explosion detonating in the sky!

The shockwave of her dragon’s cry swept across the battlefield, tearing through the clouds for miles. The very sky itself seemed to shatter under the force of her voice.

BOOM!

At the same time, an overwhelming aura erupted from Seraphina’s body—a pressure so immense that even Legendary Units would tremble in fear before it.

"Hiss..."

Ethan’s pupils shrank as he sucked in a sharp breath.

This... this was Seraphina after reaching adulthood?

This was the power of a Crimson Ultimate hero in her prime?!

This was beyond insane!

This kind of strength—this sheer, world-shattering power—was no different from that of a god!

And then—Seraphina moved.

BOOM!

A dazzling emerald light burst from her body, condensing behind her like a tidal wave of raw energy. With a single, fluid motion, she dove downward, her entire form wrapped in that terrifying power as she charged straight for the Tier 11 Wyvern!

At the same time, her massive, razor-sharp claws lashed out toward the nearest Wyvern in her path.

SPLAT!

BOOM!

A sickening explosion of blood filled the air.

The Wyvern’s head—obliterated in an instant.

A Tier 11 Royal Unit—a creature that should have been a force to be reckoned with—was reduced to nothing more than a fragile insect before Seraphina’s might.

It didn’t even stand a chance.

It was one-shot.

Ethan stood frozen.

His mind went blank.

For a moment, the entire battlefield fell into stunned silence.

ROAR!

Seraphina let out another earth-shaking roar and lunged forward again, her sights set on the remaining four Tier 11 Wyverns.

And then—Ethan witnessed something truly terrifying.

A massacre.

A slaughter.

A complete and utter annihilation.

Because in less than thirty seconds—

All four Tier 11 Wyverns were crushed into pulp.

They didn’t even get the chance to fight back.

From start to finish, it was a one-sided execution.

Ethan was stunned.

Elynn was stunned.

Even Cicero—who had always known that he and Seraphina would become powerful after reaching adulthood—was stunned.

But this?

This was beyond anything he had imagined.

Using Tier 11 units as punching bags?!

That was insane.

That was terrifying.

After a brief moment of shock, excitement and anticipation surged in Cicero’s eyes.

He wasn’t a combat hero, but he was still a Green Dragon hero—a Crimson Ultimate. No matter what, his potential couldn’t be that far off.

If Seraphina could become this powerful after reaching adulthood...

Then what about him?

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!

Seraphina let out another furious battle cry and charged forward once more, unleashing absolute devastation upon the remaining forces of Blackmire Castle.

It was over.

"We won."

Elynn exhaled softly, her voice carrying a quiet finality.

Her gaze lingered on Seraphina’s unstoppable figure—her overwhelming presence, her sheer dominance over the battlefield.

And in Elynn’s eyes, there was admiration.

There was envy.

And there was... doubt.

To single-handedly decide the outcome of a battle—to hold the power of life and death in one’s hands—this was the ultimate dream of every hero.

And yet, as she watched Seraphina, Elynn realized something.

That dream...

That glorious final destination...

She might never reach it.

She might not even have the right to glimpse it.
