Chapter 268: The Curtain Falls

Just as the little Emperor was preparing to manipulate the Underworld King Dragon to make a desperate struggle and knock Lingyun down, a sudden change occurred; five huge golden-red light balls suddenly appeared in the sky. The light balls fell from the sky, surrounding it completely.

The moment the light balls appeared, the surrounding air became scorching hot, and one could faintly see blazing flames spitting out from the light balls.

"Five Suns Scorching the Plains! Strike!"

Luo Yexi stood on a high platform, holding the Nine Suns Heavenly Sword high in her hand, and majestic power continuously surged out from the long sword's blade. Luo Yexi's face was somewhat pale; having just broken through, driving such a powerful move as Five Suns Scorching the Plains was a considerable drain on her.

The five golden-red light balls spat out powerful Nine Yang True Fire, and with the momentum of thunder, they heavily bombarded the Underworld King Dragon. In an instant, a huge pillar of fire shot into the sky, covering the entire Underworld King Dragon.

The Underworld King Dragon let out a shrill roar, charging left and right within the pillar of fire, but the pillar of fire seemed to possess immense power, making it impossible for the Underworld King Dragon to break out. As for the attacks launched by the Underworld King Dragon, they were reduced to ashes the moment they appeared under the terrifying temperature of the fire pillar. It was not until the fire pillar became thin that the Underworld King Dragon desperately charged out of it. The Underworld King Dragon looked extremely miserable as it rushed out; not only were all the eyes on its body burned away by the fire pillar, but even its extremely sturdy armor showed signs of melting.

However, before the Underworld King Dragon could catch its breath, another wave of attacks landed on its head. Esdeath pushed the power of the Demon's Extract to the limit, opening her right hand and aiming it at the direction of the Underworld King Dragon.

"Eternal Ice Realm!"

At this moment, Akame saw a scene that left her extremely astonished: behind Esdeath, a phantom of a man appeared. The man made the same movements as Esdeath, and instantly, terrifyingly extreme cold erupted from Esdeath's body, surging toward the Underworld King Dragon. Although she was far away and could not see clearly, Akame could be certain that the phantom of the man appearing behind Esdeath was undoubtedly Lingyun.

The cold air surged toward the Underworld King Dragon, and the powerful heat brought by the Five Suns Scorching the Plains was instantly swept away. Before the Underworld King Dragon could move its body, the cold air had already impacted it. A burst of white mist instantly enveloped the Underworld King Dragon's body. After the white mist dissipated, the Underworld King Dragon had turned into a lifelike ice sculpture.

"Is this... is it finished off?" one of the Teigu Users asked.

"Not that easy!" Najenda looked at the golden dragon shuttling through the sky and shook her head. "Otherwise, Lingyun wouldn't still be gathering power until now!"

No sooner had Najenda finished speaking than countless cracks appeared on the thick ice sealing the Underworld King Dragon, and the cracks instantly covered the entire ice sculpture. With a violent roar, the ice sculpture suddenly exploded, and the Underworld King Dragon rushed out from within.

"You damn guys, you are all going to die!" The little Emperor inside the Underworld King Dragon let out an angry roar. He looked extremely disheveled now; it was clear that the "ice and fire" treatment just now had caused him a lot of suffering.

"The one who is damned is you, not us!" Busujima Saeko's figure appeared in mid-air, the blood-red light on the Shura Blade in her hand flickering. "Shura Chaotic Blade!"

With a deep shout, Busujima Saeko swung the Samurai Sword in her hand, and instantly, countless blade auras attacked the direction of the Underworld King Dragon like a rainstorm.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Under the continuous bombardment of the blade auras, the sturdy armor on the Underworld King Dragon actually developed countless cracks, and then shattered into pieces. After experiencing the "ice and fire" attack caused by the full strength of both Luo Yexi and Esdeath, the armor on the Underworld King Dragon was already on the verge of collapse. Now, Busujima Saeko's full-strength strike became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Seeing that the armor on the Underworld King Dragon had actually collapsed, the little Emperor panicked. One must know that the Supreme Teigu's proudest feature was its invincible defense; now that this layer of defense had been torn apart, he could not help but panic.

Of course, it was not just the little Emperor who was panicked, but also the Underworld King Dragon. From the fact that its armor had shattered, it had already sensed an ominous premonition; if things continued like this, it would definitely die in this place!

Both of them had fear in their hearts, so running away was a certainty. The Underworld King Dragon flapped its wings violently and flew toward the sky. However, Lingyun had been laying plans here for several years, so how could he let it escape easily? After knowing that this world was the Akame ga Kill World, Lingyun had already determined that the largest source of Underworld Power in this world was most likely hidden in the Imperial Capital of this country, so when he arrived at the Imperial Capital, he had already begun to set up a sealing array. As for the things he asked Najenda to collect, they were only used for Space Transmission.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" A cold glint flashed in Lingyun's eyes; his slender dragon body circled in the sky, releasing all the power of the space-sealing array.

Countless purple chains emerged from the Void, layering over one another toward the Underworld King Dragon, and soon locked the space it was moving through. Even though the Underworld King Dragon struggled desperately, using the Supreme Cannon and Supreme Fist alternately, every time it shattered a batch of chains, more would surround it. After entangling in the sky for a while, the Underworld King Dragon was finally firmly bound by the numerous chains.

At this time, Lingyun had accumulated his power to the peak, and the Dragon Scales on his body were trembling constantly, ready to pour out terrifying power at any moment. With a long dragon roar, the clouds in the sky collapsed rapidly. The power of the dark clouds gathered together to form a Water Dragon and a Thunder Dragon, and the power of the fire clouds also gathered together to form a Fire Dragon and a Wind Dragon.

Four divine dragons of different colors and forms surrounded Lingyun, and a strange sight of five dragons dancing together suddenly appeared in the sky. But hidden behind this spectacle was Infinite murderous intent. With a long roar, the five giant dragons rushed toward the Underworld King Dragon simultaneously. The Underworld King Dragon was terrified when it saw this situation; gray-white light surged violently from its body, constantly eroding the chains, and countless cracks instantly appeared on the space chains binding it. But it was too late; by the time it broke free from the chains, the giant dragons had already reached its front.

The Water Dragon was the first to crash into the Underworld King Dragon, and the powerful water force continuously seeped into the Underworld King Dragon's body, causing its body to expand significantly, and even the remaining armor on it was stretched with many gaps. The following Wind Dragon instantly exploded into countless Wind Blades, cutting fiercely into the Underworld King Dragon's armor, completely destroying its last defense.

The Thunder Dragon and the Fire Dragon entangled together, turning into the most powerful thunder-fire, tightly binding the Underworld King Dragon, and the powerful force completely burned it to ashes. The last to arrive was the golden dragon that Lingyun had transformed into; the golden dragon carried powerful force, completely crushing the remaining Underworld Power in the Underworld King Dragon's ashes into nothingness. With a long dragon roar, Lingyun rushed out from the sky full of thunder and fire. It could be faintly seen that in the golden dragon's mouth, it was still carrying a human figure.

The golden dragon landed on the ground, and after a flash of golden light, it transformed back into Lingyun. In his hand, he was carrying a person, who was none other than the little Emperor who had already fainted. Lingyun's face was somewhat pale; using all four forms of the Four Symbols Dragon Sword Art at once in his True Dragon form was still a great drain on him.

"Master!" Seeing Lingyun fall from the sky, Luo Yexi quickly came to Lingyun's side.

Lingyun coughed lightly and wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, I'm fine. This little injury can't affect me!"

"This person is... His Majesty the Emperor?" Najenda looked at the person Lingyun was carrying and couldn't help but be stunned. Originally, she thought that under Lingyun's terrifying attack, the little Emperor in the Supreme Throne should have been reduced to ashes. Unexpectedly, he appeared in Lingyun's hand now; presumably, there was some protection mechanism in the Supreme Throne.

"Everything should come to an end!" Lingyun tossed the little Emperor in his hand to Najenda.

Najenda caught the person Lingyun tossed over, her expression somewhat complex: "Yes, the Supreme Teigu has been destroyed, and Leone has also gone to catch the Minister. The members of the Revolutionary Army have sacrificed enough; it is indeed time for this war to come to an end!"
