How the hell are you a Dragon God with pure Primordial Celestial Dragon blood?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the expression on Zerathor—the Skyfiend Overlord of the Sky Citadel—twisted into a furious, ashen grimace. His eyes burned with murderous rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked absolutely livid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, with a cold snort, he sneered and said icily, \"Hmph! So what if you’re a Dragon God with pure Primordial Celestial Dragon blood? You think that makes you one of those invincible legends from the old days? Don’t flatter yourself. I’ll let you in on a little secret—I’ve already devoured the power of a Dragon God myself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right. I now wield the same power as you. Got it?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And today, I’m going to feast on all of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zerathor’s voice rose into a thunderous roar, his words crashing down like a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura exploded outward—terrifying, overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Idra’s expression turned cold and focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Idra, let’s take him down together!\" Ethan said, his voice just as icy. Over the past weeks, their fusion had reached a near-perfect state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even against a monster like this, he wasn’t backing down. If it came to a fight to the death—so be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Father!\" Idra nodded firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without hesitation, he merged with Ethan in a flash of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their combined power surged like a tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy erupted from their fused form, raw and unstoppable, radiating with overwhelming strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fools rushing to their deaths!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zerathor let out a cold laugh, then raised his arm and gave a sweeping command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attack! Tear them apart! Kill them all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battlefield exploded into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clash erupted instantly into a full-blown war. Zerathor hadn’t come alone—he’d brought the elite of the Sky Citadel, their most powerful warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were strong enough to rival the entire Emerald Castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And worse—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They outnumbered them. By a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least several times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll have to end this fast...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan growled and launched himself forward, charging straight at Zerathor without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah! You’re asking for death!\" Zerathor snarled, his aura flaring as he met Ethan head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The collision unleashed a shockwave that shook the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A violent, black storm of energy erupted from Zerathor’s body, sweeping across the battlefield like a living nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air reeked of sulfur and blood, thick and choking, as if the sky itself was trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the heart of that storm, a monstrous demonic figure began to take shape—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towering like a mountain, with twisted horns and a mouth spewing crimson fire. Dozens of pitch-black tendrils writhed behind it, lashing the air like they were trying to tear the world apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its blood-red eyes snapped open, radiating a suffocating, murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zerathor raised his hand and flung it forward like a puppeteer hurling his creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon’s massive claws swept out, ripping through space itself. The shockwave that followed was like the end of the world—an apocalyptic blast of destruction barreling straight toward Ethan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that exact moment, Ethan’s face showed not a trace of fear. Instead, raw power surged in his hands, condensing into a massive golden dragon that launched straight at the demonic phantom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KRRAAAK-BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant their powers collided, the sky itself seemed to scream. Thunderous shockwaves exploded outward, the deafening roar forcing soldiers on both sides to cover their ears in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sheer force unleashed by both combatants—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was absolutely monstrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were both operating at the peak of Tier 16—SS-class power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ethan, fused with Idra, had gone even further—his strength had skyrocketed to SSS-class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His power was maxed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, after only a few brutal exchanges, the terrifying Skyfiend Overlord of the Sky Citadel—Zerathor—was already losing ground. He was completely on the defensive, getting hammered blow after blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... this can’t be!\" Zerathor’s pupils shrank, his face twisted in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was one of the top-tier powerhouses in the entire Sky Citadel. And yet now—he was losing? That reality hit him like a sledgehammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was happening right in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had no choice but to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His power was being completely suppressed. Worse, the blood-red gem embedded in his chest—his core—was starting to dim, its glow fading rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan noticed it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That gem... it was the source of Zerathor’s power. If he could destroy it, he could cut off the bastard’s strength completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment that thought hit him, his mind locked onto a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive golden greatsword materialized in Ethan’s hand, radiating divine energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No—!\" Zerathor’s breath hitched, panic flashing across his face. He hadn’t expected this. The power Ethan and Idra unleashed together was far beyond anything he’d prepared for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he couldn’t stay here any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began channeling every ounce of energy he had, trying to force Ethan back just long enough to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could even finish gathering his strength—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That colossal golden sword came crashing down from above, slamming into his shoulder and shattering the energy he’d just built up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even have time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan was already in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with a roar, he drove his fist straight into the blood-red gem in Zerathor’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK-CRACK-CRACK—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of shattering crystal echoed like gunfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gem exploded into dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zerathor’s eyes went wide with horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That gem... it was his Primordial Force—his very essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now it was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was finished. He couldn’t summon even a flicker of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AAAHHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! What did you do?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How—how did you know that was my weakness?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan didn’t bother answering. After fighting the Sky Citadel’s forces for this long, he’d figured out their pattern—every one of them had a gem that served as their energy core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And more importantly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was stronger than all of them now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was all that mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power surged from Ethan’s body like a tidal wave, flooding into Zerathor’s broken form, tearing him apart from the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zerathor’s eyes bulged, his mind reeling. He never imagined he’d end up like this. Around him, the Skyfiends and Fiend-Dragons he’d brought from the Sky Citadel were being slaughtered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors of Emerald Castle fought like they had no fear of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those on the brink of dying would unleash every last drop of power in a final, desperate attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of them turned their own bodies into living bombs, charging into enemy ranks and detonating themselves in a blaze of glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of suicidal ferocity—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sent a wave of terror crashing through the Sky Citadel’s army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t dare stay any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially now that their Skyfiend Overlord—Zerathor—had been defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they stuck around...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d only die more horribly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1145,"2026-06-05T15:15:47.573Z",1,"novelbin.me","b20e219f552e5d0850507fcb39b5257debbf75156020a191deeb4e0325542ed6","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-624","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-622",1138,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmystic-calling-stone-of-glory-cover.jpg"]
