Chapter 274
Dark flames rained down from the sky and engulfed the Imperial City of the Pamar Empire in chaos, the explosions they caused reducing the buildings to ruins, the shockwaves tearing apart those unfortunate enough to be inside. The dark flames’ vast trails swiftly extended in every direction, devouring the citizens screaming and scrambling away from the destruction.
With the spreading fire and the relentless descent of dark flames from the boundless sky thwarting their hope of escape and survival, the people of the Imperial City died afraid and horrified. Their souls turned into vengeful souls, and Baal absorbed them all.
Hovering above the Imperial City, Baal unleashed more waves of dark flames. In the span of half an hour, he had destroyed a quarter of the city and killed hundreds of thousands of people.
Having received news that Baal was quickly making his way to the Imperial Palace from the east, the Imperial Palace convened all their available forces and had them all stand by on high alert. Unfortunately, the Empire’s proud knights were currently scattered throughout the continent, hunting demons, leaving them with only the Magic Corps.
Led by Coelho Umberut, an Eighth Circle Archmage, the Empire’s Magic Corps was known as the strongest offensive unit in all of Avalon. However, even they would find it difficult to fight a Dragon, let alone the Great Demon God Baal, who was even more powerful than Dragons. Considering they would never be able to stop him, the best they could do was hold him off until Mu-Gun and the Dragons reached the Imperial Palace.
Meanwhile, the core nobles, including Emperor Pamar IV, pondered whether to leave now or see this battle through and share their fate with the Empire. The majority of the nobles argued that they should escape while they still had the chance, but Pamar thought differently. His pride as the emperor refused to let him flee and abandon the Imperial Palace. Hence, despite knowing they were no match against Baal, he chose to stay and fight.
Left with no other choice but to bite the bullet and stand their ground as well, the other nobles desperately prayed for Mu-Gun and the Dragons to arrive in time.
Upon receiving word about Baal’s location and movements, Mu-Gun and the Dragons made their way to the Imperial City as fast as they could. Since it wasn’t too far from the Centrion Mountain Range, it did not take long for them to reach their destination.
Their expressions stiffened when they arrived. The Imperial City had been completely devastated.
- The Demon God seems to have recovered more power than we thought.
Antalion sounded quite stiff. Blaze was no different.
-The problem is that the Demon God is still quickly recovering his strength even at this moment.
Looking around, Thermeon realized they were running out of time.
-We have to defeat the Demon God before he can absorb more vengeful souls and recover all his strength.
“If that happens, it will be difficult to defeat him. We have to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.”
- Don’t worry too much. No matter how powerful the Demon God is, for as long as you, God’s representative, and we, the Dragons, fight with our lives on the line, we should have a chance to kill him.
“I’m not worried. After all, I have you Dragons with me. Now, then. It’s time we take him down.”
As Mu-Gun fought the Demonic Dragon, the six Dragons with him bombarded Baal with their Breaths. In turn, after figuring out where the attacks were coming from, Baal conjured dark flames and divided them into six, each one swirling until it had created a circle. The attacks soon collided with the Dark Flame Whirlpools, causing yet more explosions.
Much to the Dragons’ surprise, the Dark Flame Whirlpools engulfed their Breaths, then swirled furiously, quickly extinguishing them. To make things worse, dozens of Demonic Dragons flocked out of the Dark Flame Whirlpools and charged toward the Dragons.
The Dragons quickly cast Dragon Tongue Magic, destroying the incoming monsters. A few managed to avoid the attacks and narrow the distance enough to pounce on them, but they simply used their Breath magic to take out the stragglers.
Baal tried to use this opportunity to drive the Dragons into a corner, but Mu-Gun pounced on him before he could, sending dozens of Frost Lightning Swords at him. The swords pierced into Baal, restraining his defenses like a net.
Baal tried to dodge the rest, but the swords had immobilized him. Hence, he twisted in midair instead, discharging tornado-like dark flames and blasting all the swords away using them. He then sent all of them after Mu-Gun, the space in their path distorting.
Mu-Gun set the Frost Lightning Swords aside and unleashed dozens of Thunderous Wind Swords. Powerful wind energy stabbed into the Dark Flame Tornado, causing it to crack, distort, and, eventually explode.
The Demon God was deeply impressed by Mu-Gun’s ability to freely imbue the Spirit Kings’ power in the Infinite Thunder Swords.
“You have the powers of both Spirit God Vahara and Sky God Yupir? Fascinating,” Baal said.
“Yet you still effortlessly defended against our offensive. I expected nothing less from you,” Mu-Gun replied.
The Demon God was an enemy, but that didn’t mean he had to turn a blind eye to how powerful Baal was.
“Would you like to join my side? Considering how strong you are, I wouldn’t mind appointing you as my second-in-command.”
“I refuse. I do not like working under anyone.”
“I see. That’s a pity. You leave me no choice but to eliminate you,” The Demon God said indifferently.
“There is no need to pity me. You’ll be the one who will soon be eradicated, not me.”
“Kahaha! Do you really believe you’re capable of such a feat?” Baal asked, sounding quite baffled. “It will never happen, but you are free to daydream,”
Mu-Gun shrugged. “Just you wait. I’ll prove you wrong.”
He sent a Blazing Thunder Sword at the Demon God. Matching his attack, the Dragons also cast Breath and Dragon Tongue Magic.
Mu-Gun and the Dragons’ battle against the Demon God had finally begun in earnest.
