Chapter 89: Fighting Side by Side

The ground shook again, and the Delan Castle Dragon let out a mournful howl, its massive body being flipped onto the earth.

Arc, like a raging bull, instantly lifted a massive boulder and hammered it onto the Delan Dragon; the shattered stones in the valley surged, and countless boulders rolled down, burying Delan Castle.

The huge sound completely interrupted the brothers' encounter.

Hong Du silently stood in front of Tai Ya; they no longer have much time for reminiscing.

Although the Delan Dragon is the most powerful dragon monster, without kiva's aid it is still a step weaker than Arc in a one‑on‑one, but its task is merely to stall for time.

"Tatsulot." Hong Du shouted resolutely.

"Here it comes, here it comes, it's my turn to step out." the Demon Emperor Dragon shouted excitedly.

The fierce Demon Emperor Power surged within, Arc raised his massive bull head, his body briefly halted, clenched his fist, then a flash of light erupted from Arc's right arm, forming a golden iron fist that charged straight at Hong Du falling from the sky.

And Tai Ya could clearly feel that kiva was suppressing Arc.

Two tiny holes appeared on Arc's right arm; although under the power of the legendary beast they kept repairing, this could not change the fact that the defense had been pierced.

Seeing the rushing mountain, Hong Du instinctively swung his fist, a crisp crack echoing from his whole body, and his punch slammed into the small hill.

Arc then raised his right leg, and with great force kicked Hong Du's chest; a blast rang out, sending Hong Du flying several meters, while a burst of fire erupted on his armor.

Hearing the explosion in the air, Arc must have grown resentful of kiva.

Two blood‑red bat wings, like fangs, thrust forward rapidly; the fangs formed from Demon Emperor Power turned into streaks of blood, slicing the air with a sharp whoosh, tearing at Arc's right arm.

At extreme speed, Hong Du's basic kiva transformed, finally cloaking his right arm in a flash of Gold Light.

A pair of blood‑red bat wings instantly appeared on the golden armor flanking his legs.

"Jialu Lu Military Sword." Yabianfu San Shi said.

Arc shuddered, then the concentrated Demon Emperor Power in his right arm burst toward Hong Du, bearing fierce, overwhelming force, striking straight into the blood‑colored chest armor before Hong Du's chest.

Yet Arc did not relax despite the gap; on the contrary, he had put away his playful mindset.

Arc, attacking the Delan Dragon that lay collapsed on the ground, lifted his head toward Hong Du; the mask's compound eyes began to blaze with golden flame.

But the sandbag‑sized body was like a small mountain, its massive shadow immediately enveloped both Hong Du and Tai Ya.

The remaining soul of the legendary beast king faced a kiva that was suppressed far too powerfully.

A wolf howl rose suddenly, and a waning moon rose behind Hong Du—signs of the Werewolf Clan's power.

A dragon head suddenly protruded, its mighty force causing several colossal cracks to spread across the valley's center.

A scarlet cape flickered across Tai Ya's pupils, almost simultaneously.

But now it was drawn to that flash of red, and it dropped the Delan Castle Dragon outright.

"Hmm, brother."

【8】 Tai Ya's strenuous effort only gave Arc superficial wounds; although his power hadn't fully recovered, it's undeniable that Arc fears kiva for a reason.

Tai Ya's strenuous strength only managed to inflict a flesh wound on Arc; although it's because he has strength but hasn't fully recovered, it's undeniable that Arc's fear of Kiva has a reason.

"Bang!" the Delan Dragon, buried beneath the mountain by Arc, roared suddenly.

The sudden barrage merely flung the unprepared Hong Du away; protected by Mo Huang Kiva, he was unharmed.

The pale‑blue energy over Tai Ya's body surged violently, and a black‑and‑white armor exuding elegance and royalty covered his battered form.

In the valley of shattered wreckage, red light flickered.

Two figures swung their weapons together, attacking the towering, horned giant at the center.

Like a volcanic eruption, the Delan Dragon spewed a sphere of light that raced to envelop Mo Huang Kiva.

Before Hong Du arrived, it cared nothing for the battle's outcome; the legendary beasts were merely expendables.

It grabbed a massive stone nearby and hurled it toward Hong Du, like a child tossing a sandbag.

Tai Ya would not be outdone; fighting side‑by‑side with Hong Du, he gripped the Snake Flute Sword in his right hand and launched an attack on Arc.

"Hmm, it's fine." At this moment Hong Du staggered to his feet, his chest armor faintly smoking; Mo Huang Kiva completely deflected Arc's ferocious assault.

Yet despite blocking the kiva attack, Arc's arm was still pierced by two strands of Demon Emperor Power.

A Light Circle appeared before Hong Du; he extended his right hand, as if grasping something out of thin air, and pulled hard.

Only dozens of meters away—just seconds for Hong Du now—the blood‑colored wings clashed head‑on with Arc.

"Du, let's go together."

Tai Ya proved exceptionally formidable, showing that although the two share the same mother, their bloodlines still differ greatly.

"Hong Du!" Seeing his brother blown away, Tai Ya rushed over, dragging his injured body.

Hong Du pulled toward the Mo Huang Dragon's tail; the pattern on it spun rapidly, finally settling on a blue blade.

The scorching lightning‑charged Jialu Lu Military Sword, now ablaze, erupted outward from the center of the three.

In an instant, the mountain shattered, debris filled the air, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and as the rumble rose, a pale‑red glow surged on Hong Du's body; moments later his feet leapt.

The Snake Flute Sword vibrated, a roaring sound echoing, accompanied by the hiss of the Saka serpent.

【Imperial Moon Break】

Their techniques, though identical in shape, appeared from the outside: compared with Tai Ya's robust, ancient style, Hong Du's manifestation was undeniably more delicate and translucent.

The sharp tips of the two bat wings instantly pierced the obstructing parts of Arc's armor, almost in an instant.

Hong Du's body leapt high, and a pale‑red kiva mark appeared in the sky; compared with Tai Ya's jet‑black kiva mark, Hong Du's summoned mark was clearly finer and smaller.

Upon contact, a burst of dazzling sparks and an unusually shrill sound rang out, like electric welding.

Even if he killed the Tooth Blood Vampire that had reverted to human form,

Hong Du's speed was too great; he could not create any distance,

While swinging his arm, he conjured a military sword engraved with a wolf head out of thin air; the sword flashed, its blade cutting countless slashes into the ground.

As the battle continued, the damage to the surrounding environment grew ever larger.

Hong Du and Tai Ya's assaults grew increasingly frantic, and simultaneously their coordination rose instantly, gradually becoming in sync.
