Beneath the Red Dragon

Hiss,

The furious Nine-headed Hydra, Hydra, was enraged by the demon’s words. The nine heads spewed poisonous swamp water and acid, all of which were intensely toxic.

It is said that the blood and flesh of the Hydra contain some of the most potent toxins in the world, capable of easily poisoning any beast.

Unfortunately, no caster in the world ever gets into a fight unprepared, just like a certain old man who enjoys walking in the night like a bat.

These casters, upon learning that the Blood Claw Tribe worshiped a poisonous Hydra as their demon god, chose to summon the Demon Lord, Soul Raider Demon. This type of demon has near immunity to toxins and electricity, making it one of the creatures naturally unafraid of the Hydra’s breath.

”Hahaha, you bold fool,” the Soul Raider Demon Lord, Batos, pounded his massive chest.

At that moment, his body suddenly swelled, transforming into a fourteen-meter-tall giant with knotted muscles and bulging veins. His razor-sharp claws were surrounded by a thick aura as he charged directly at the poisonous breath of the Hydra, Hydra.

The Blazemon, taking advantage of its soul traits, hovered in the sky and at that moment thrust a giant trident down towards Hydra’s nape. Although the physical body of the Blazemon had perished, under this soul servitude, its attack was enough to harm its enemy’s soul.

”Roar,”

The inflated body of the Soul Raider Demon Lord, Batos, crashed into the head spouting the poisonous breath, his massive bone blade chopping off two of Hydra, Hydra’s heads, causing a surge of toxic blood to spurt from the wound and splatter onto the ground.

The intense toxins could even corrode soil, causing it to dry up and curl.

The Blazemon’s trident also harmed Hydra’s soul, making this careless Hydra suffer a major loss at first sight.

But the golden head of the Hydra in the center roared fiercely, with sound waves and shockwaves that could be seen with the naked eye, rolling the earth and rapidly spreading out.

At the broken necks, layers of writhing flesh buds were rapidly growing, as if new heads were about to emerge.

The Soul Raider Demon Batos, who was facing the sound waves head-on, began bleeding from his eyes, nose, and mouth, while the Blazemon behind him was shaken to the point that its soul fluctuated, and its limbs, blocking the sound waves, were immediately pulverized into oblivion.

Numerous warriors around, protected by the magic barrier and magic shield jointly erected by the casters, remained unharmed, but the casters of the Caster Corps were flushed, desperately channeling their magic power to stabilize the shaking magic barriers.

The Soul Raider Demon Lord Batos was bleeding from his orifices but was not severely injured; at that moment, he stomped the ground heavily.

Spell-like Ability: High-level Teleportation Skill.

The figure of the Soul Raider Demon Batos instantly vanished, appearing behind the Hydra, swinging his sharp claws down at the Hydra.

Spell-like Ability: Walking on Air, Acceleration Skill. After slashing down another head, Batos ascended into the air, evading the giant tail swipe of Hydra. In its place, a huge boulder was smashed to pieces, reduced to dust.

Spell-like Ability: High-level Command Skill. A low-tier demon emerged from the abyssal demonic qi under the summons of the Soul Raider Demon Batos. Though only five meters tall, it was also exceptionally robust.

This Soul Raider Demon, upon arrival, charged directly at the Hydra, indifferent to its own life, subject to the summoner’s will under the High-level Command Skill.

”Damn you, you forced my hand,” the Hydra’s initially severed heads had started to swell. At this moment, her golden head’s mouth opened, releasing a white flash.

This white flash, upon appearance, commanded the full attention of the room, radiating an immensely strong and intense aura.

Ding ding ding ding,

The white flash, under a peculiar rhythm, quivered incessantly around the Soul Raider Demon Lord Batos. The sharp tip hesitated for a moment, then effortlessly pierced into the body of the other summoned demon.

It pierced through the heart of this demon, rendering it motionless, leaving only a strand of transparent, glossy white ivory chain outside the body.

”Damn, I wanted you to bind him, not kill that fool,” the Hydra frantically shook her body, her massive form at once coiling around the Soul Raider Demon Batos startled by the ivory chain.

The two gigantic beasts let out simultaneous roars, rolling and wrestling on the ground, collapsing the surrounding hills and crushing the earth inward. For the time being, the Soul Raider Demon Batos could not escape the Hydra’s most powerful restraint.

The claws of the Soul Raider Demon could sever any of the Hydra’s heads except the central golden head and the pale golden body.

His claws could inflict tremendous damage to the Hydra’s pale golden body, but he also had to contend with the constant biting and binding from the Hydra.

But even in such a fierce battle, these two gigantic monsters simultaneously sensed an exceptionally deadly danger.

They both lifted their heads, staring at the sky where flames swirled like a storm.

Perhaps they had never heard the saying passed down in the Land of Golden: beware of the lights in the sky, for the blazing lights may not be the sun, but rather the incarnation of the sun in the mortal world—the King of Golden.

Rumble,

The explosive momentum still rumbled in the distance, but in front of the two monsters, a sun suddenly descended from the twisting air, two giant, radiant dragon claws extending towards the two monsters.

Bang,

The two monsters had not yet come to their senses when their heads and bodies were pressed into the soil by a tremendous force, the sunken pit burying their forms.

As they raised their heads, they saw a tremendous, unique dragon.

And a magic array quietly rising from the Caster Corps.

Although demons will not truly die outside the abyss, even after death, they will reform themselves from the essence at the bottom of the abyss, and rarely can any creature kill a demon totally in other worlds.

But whether from the knowledge left by ancient mages or knowledge exchanged with alien gods, it was clearly explained to Red Dragon how to seal a demon’s true body and essence within the material plane.

Today’s battle was merely a small experiment.

The Soul Raider Demon Batos, feeling like crying but without tears, sensed his power and connection to the abyss. He shouted angrily, ”Damn it, I responded to the summons, worked hard to fulfill your contract, yet you not only failed to keep your promise but also want to completely seal me. You are the real demons, you damned demons!”
