Chapter 95: The Black Dragon Bleeding Across the Sky
When the Abyssal Lord stood, his height exceeded thirty meters, like a moving active volcano. His body was different from ordinary demons; it constantly transformed and flowed between thick armor and the lava flowing inside, and his overall outline resembled an incomparably majestic humanoid giant.
On his head, three pairs of twisted, crown-like giant demon horns pierced the sky, with eternal hellfire burning on them. There was no "face" in the traditional sense; the front of the head was a dark crystal as smooth as a mirror. When he occasionally "gazed" at a target, the mirror surface would ripple, revealing the faces of countless souls moaning in pain.
Four arms extended from his shoulders and back; these limbs, far exceeding those of ordinary demons, symbolized the destruction that could be executed simultaneously. At the ends of the pair of most robust arms were giant claws capable of crushing hills, and the lava dripping from the fingertips burned wounds on the ground that would never heal.
The other pair of relatively "slender" but more eerie arms danced slowly in the air, with black lightning and spatial cracks lingering at the fingertips; he was clearly skilled in manipulating energy and tearing laws.
Behind him was a pair of incomparably huge energy wings woven from shadow and flame. These giant wings did not flap, but naturally distorted the surrounding light and space, allowing him to hover in the air.
From the waist down, his body gradually merged into a churning vortex composed of painful souls and liquid fire; this vortex was both his lower body and a small domain that constantly devoured everything around it. Overlord of the Flame Prison, Malgash.
In his main hand, he tightly gripped a giant sword forged from the concept of solidified death and plane wreckage. The sword body was pitch black, as if it could absorb all light; just looking at it once was enough to freeze the soul. Around him, a ring of abyssal erosion constantly radiated, silently stripping away the vitality and hope of all living beings within range.
"Black Dragon!" The Abyssal Lord's voice was like the cracking of the earth's core, making the air tremble, "Report your name! There are not many existences who dare to face me directly; you... have aroused my interest."
Hellfire churned around him, and his pressure was like substance, "Remember the one who will end you, Overlord of the Flame Prison, Malgash! Then, take this name to see your Tiamat; this will be a... heavy gift I give her."
"Sakavi Kelsis Domina." The Black Dragon on the city wall spat out his full name calmly, every syllable carrying ancient power, quietly dissipating the oncoming pressure.
"Uninvited guest of the Abyss, your aura is not enough to shake me. But I am indeed curious, between you and me... just how big is that rumored gap."
"Hahahaha——!!!" Malgash's wild laughter caused the surrounding space to tremble, and the ground beneath his feet cracked because of it. "Were you raised by a Red Dragon? Or was your brain soaked in lava? Such reckless recklessness is exactly the same as those red-skinned lizards who only know how to breathe fire! Ridiculous, too ridiculous!"
Any language is pale and powerless in the face of an absolute gap in strength. Sakavi did not respond anymore; instead, there was a heart-stopping dead silence. He was like a fully drawn bowstring, accumulating the power of destruction. The next second, his body turned into a black lightning bolt, initiating a challenge with the most direct action!
Sakavi's figure suddenly blurred in place, and the next moment he appeared in front of Malgash's chest, his pitch-black dragon claws entwined with extreme negative energy, directly digging into the core where lava surged; this was the purest "Touch of Death," capable of instantly annihilating vitality.
However, the dark crystal-like armor on Malgash's chest flashed with a ghostly light, actually absorbing and transforming this death energy, and then, with him as the center, a circle of desecrated abyssal nova erupted. Sakavi was fiercely shaken away, his dragon scales stained with writhing, corrosive darkness that seemed alive.
"Too slow!" Malgash roared, all four arms out. Two giant claws suddenly tore through space, blocking Sakavi's retreat, while the other two hands condensed destructive black lightning, weaving it into a net of death.
Sakavi's dragon wings flapped, unleashing his true trump card, "Soul Extraction." He frantically extracted the soul fragments of hundreds of thousands of living beings who had just died on the battlefield and had not yet dissipated, compressing and condensing them in front of his dragon snout, forming an unstable, pale soul-explosion bomb emitting shrill moans.
This attack, which gathered massive death energy, made even Malgash feel threatened. He had to temporarily give up his pursuit of Sakavi, brandishing his arms to summon the hellfire storm surrounding his body. Just at its most intense moment, Sakavi shot out that pale soul-explosion bomb.
It drew a strange arc, bypassing the hellfire storm in front, and struck Malgash's back directly, at the connection between the energy wings and the torso.
"Boom——!"
The violent soul explosion erupted silently, but it made Malgash emit a roar mixed with pain and rage. One of his energy wings was blown to flicker uncertainly, and his massive body staggered.
Sakavi turned into a meteor burning with black flames, using his body as a spear, stabbing directly at the core of Malgash's chest exposed by the injury!
"Puff——!"
A strike that condensed all of Sakavi's power finally pierced that indestructible obsidian armor and sank deep into Malgash's chest. However, the Abyssal Lord's strength far exceeded imagination.
Malgash, suffering this heavy injury, not only did not retreat, but instead emitted a ferocious wild laugh. From the wound he was stabbed, countless tentacles composed of lava and darkness suddenly extended, tightly entangling Sakavi's stabbed forelimb and body.
"Caught you, bug!"
The other three arms, carrying the power to destroy everything, fiercely bombarded Sakavi's fixed body from different angles.
"Crack!" A clear sound of bone breaking rang out.
Sakavi's dragon wings were forcibly torn, and the scales and bones of his chest and abdomen shattered and dented under the heavy blows. Destructive energy containing Abyssal laws rushed into his body, frantically destroying his vitality.
He spat out a sky full of dragon blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. The scorching blood was like a tragic rain of blood, falling from the sky, dyeing the scorched earth below dark red.
However, the next second, black flames ignited from Sakavi's body, burning the dragon blood and broken internal organs to ashes, and also repairing the Black Dragon's tattered body.
"Interesting! I'll play with you properly today." Malgash seemed not to care about the scene in front of him, letting Sakavi repair himself.
The healed Sakavi did not rush to get close; he knew his opponent's strength was unfathomable. He circled at high altitude, and between the opening and closing of his dragon snout, he spat out a dark breath as deep as night. This breath was extreme negative energy and annihilation power; wherever it passed, even light was swallowed, rushing directly toward the Abyssal Lord.
Malgash laughed wildly, not dodging or avoiding, one of his four arms raised, and the palm erupted with surging desecrated hellfire; that was destructive energy blessed by the Abyssal will.
Darkness and flame collided violently in the air; there was no loud noise, only the frantic annihilation of energy and the violent distortion of space, forming a short-lived black-red vortex that constantly tore everything around it, and after a moment, it completely dissipated in the night sky.
Sakavi's dragon wings flapped, leaving trails of afterimages in the air, his speed fast to the extreme. He flew at high speed around Malgash's massive body, constantly projecting necromantic energy spears from various tricky angles. His tactics were very clear: use speed advantage to engage in Mobile Corps Commander consumption.
The battle lasted for a full hour, and the sky had become a canvas for their confrontation, filled with distorted traces left after energy collisions. Sakavi's necromantic spears pierced Malgash's defense several times, eroding his black armor, leaving deep traces as if decayed by time, and the flowing lava also became dim.
But Malgash's attacks were also incomparably heavy. A precise prediction, the lava giant sword grazed Sakavi's spine, tearing off large patches of his dragon scales, leaving scorched wounds. "Is this all your tricks, Black Dragon?" Malgash's voice carried a trace of impatience.
Sakavi saw his dragon wings vibrate, and a gray "Aging Field" permeated his body; wherever it reached, space seemed to lose its vitality, and even the hellfire burning around Malgash dimmed by a point.
Immediately following, his dragon claws gripped the void, and an invisible "Life Extraction" ray targeting the origin of life and soul crossed space, attempting to directly drain the Abyssal Lord's vitality. Malgash emitted a cold snort with a hint of surprise, but his massive body dodged with unusual agility, and the ray grazed the armor on his body surface, actually leaving a tiny crack like dry land on it.
"Interesting tricks!" He roared, one arm swung out, and desecrated abyssal energy surged like a tide, aiming directly at the Black Dragon. However, this level of attack was difficult to hit a flying dragon.
Sakavi, who dodged the attack, did not stop; he used his speed advantage to draw strange trajectories in the air, opening his mouth to emit a "Soul Howl." This was an impact acting directly on the soul level, and the shrieking illusion rushed directly toward Malgash's consciousness. The Abyssal Lord's dark crystal-like face rippled, and his movements appeared extremely brief stagnation.
Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Sakavi condensed pale "Grasp of Death" with both claws and pulled fiercely in mid-air. Malgash suddenly felt an invisible giant force inside his body, as if trying to forcibly strip his soul from his shell. He slammed his two arms together, Abyssal magic flames exploded, forcibly burning off the invisible soul chain.
"My turn!" Malgash spread all four arms, "Abyssal Shackles" activated instantly, and countless tentacles composed of dark energy extended from the void, entangling toward Sakavi's dragon wings and limbs.
Sakavi's death energy boiled around his body, rotating and cutting like the sharpest blade, severing a large number of tentacles, but he was still entangled by a few on his hind limbs. He did not hesitate, his dragon tail wrapped in the power of extinction swept across like a steel whip, forcibly breaking them, but his speed was frustrated again.
Malgash seized the opportunity, the two giant arms of the main attack continuously swung "Fist of Destruction," each punch carrying the power to crush mountains and annihilate souls. Sakavi evaded with exquisite spatial flickering. Once he failed to dodge, the fist wind grazed his ribs, dragon scales shattered, and a strand of Abyssal energy containing corrosion and chaos attempted to invade, which was forcibly expelled and neutralized by his purer death power.
This fierce battle lasted for several hours, and the sky was split by two completely different energies. Sakavi was covered in traces of burns and corrosion, one dragon horn was broken, and his aura was also clearly chaotic.
Malgash was also not having a good time; his black armor was covered with pits and cracks eroded by death energy, and his movements were no longer as violent and smooth as at the beginning.
Finally, in a head-on collision, Sakavi gathered all his necromantic power to launch a "Finger of the End," a gray ray condensed to the extreme, as if capable of ending everything, collided head-on with the ultimate destruction unleashed by Malgash with the power of all four arms.
The death ray pierced one of Malgash's arms and melted a huge scorched hole in his chest; the Abyssal Lord emitted a painful roar. However, Malgash's destructive energy torrent also completely crushed Sakavi's defense, bombarding his massive dragon body.
The sound of dragon bones shattering was chilling. Sakavi's massive body stagnated in the air for an instant, and then, hot dragon blood sprayed out like a waterfall from countless wounds, dyeing the sky dark red. He lost all strength, like a falling star, falling heavily toward the direction of Agrik.
Just the moment before Sakavi's shattered dragon body was about to hit the ground, a silver stream of light precisely grazed below, dragon claws grabbed the Black Dragon's corpse just right, and quickly climbed and accelerated, flying back to Agrik. ===== CHAPTER 96 =====
