In an instant, those nine blazing red lights deepened their penetration toward the core of the earth.
Heavy chains of fire tightened at the center of the magic formation, as if they were about to pierce through the planet's core.
The blazing flame scythes stretched underground, and the surrounding land seemed to tremble because of it.
The white surface of the ground began to ripple, as if some force was pushing it from below.
In the blink of an eye, the fire scythes suddenly exerted force. The earth trembled, mountains collapsed, and giant rocks split apart.
The pale land stretching for hundreds of miles began to instantly fall apart, as if the ground itself had been lifted open.
The massive fire scythes churned beneath the surface, stabbing deeply into the earth's core.
The land seemed to be completely flipped over and started breaking into pieces.
The surface of the island looked as if it had been fully overturned, chaos turning into a sea of flying dust.
———
At the same time, the mages in Endymion felt the intense power coming from there even from far away.
The first layer of the City of Mages—This was the largest level of the City of Mages, and also the most suitable place for mages to live.
The first layer was very close to the outside world of Endymion, and from here one could even see the floating islands outside.
Many mages were standing on the first layer, looking toward the distance.
In an extremely distant direction from here.
That huge floating sky island suspended in the air suddenly rose with a dazzling and massive light.
Like a shocking giant sphere, it kept expanding, kept flashing, its brightness rising sharply.
Until the magic surging from within the island completely expanded and swallowed the entire floating island.
After the blinding light of the explosion faded and the mass of magic gradually weakened, these mages were finally able to open their eyes again and stare at the distant island.
Everyone witnessed this bleak and shocking scene, and someone could not help but cry out in surprise.
"Th… isn't that the Twilight Sky Domain?"
Normally, mages would not go there to train, mainly because it was full of danger.
But now that place had actually exploded?
This explosion always gave them a very familiar feeling.
It felt like there was someone in the Council whose favorite thing to do was blow things up wherever he went.
No one knew what kind of powerhouse had run to the Twilight Sky Domain and blown it up several times.
———
At this moment, Ryan held his dizzy head, his legs almost going weak.
Feeling the surroundings gradually return to calm, he slowly raised his head and looked forward.
After this shocking magic ended, the scene around them changed once again.
The surrounding world seemed shattered. The white floating rocks looked especially fragile under the pitch black night sky, as small as grains of dust.
The ground had almost been flattened by that enormous magic power, and in the middle of the entire cloud layer there was only one piece of intact land left.
All around, there were only floating rocks that had burst apart.
At the center of that piece of land, a gigantic crater had formed.
On this island floating in the sky, one could even see through the middle of the earth to the clouds floating around below.
As for those magical creatures, they had long disappeared without a trace.
Under that terrifying magic attack that was enough to flip the entire land over, none of them could maintain their forms.
They were all completely destroyed, turning into chaotic and disordered energy drifting through this space.
This energy was not the normal magic used by mages. It was far too chaotic and disordered to be used properly.
The Chaos Dragon King lay on the broken floating rocks, barely gathering countless fragments beneath its body.
At this moment, its entire body was covered in red scars left by magic, and even its size had shrunk a lot.
Its nine dragon heads had been completely blown apart by that spell, leaving only four heads still swaying along with their necks.
As for the remaining heads, they had already turned into chaotic magic under that terrifying attack and scattered around the Chaos Dragon King.
At this moment, Ryan's heart felt like a huge drum being struck, heavy booming sounds exploding one after another.
He had never seen a mage beat the Chaos Dragon King into such a miserable state.
Right now, it had completely fallen into a severely injured state.
But that made sense. Almost no one would come to this Twilight place to fight the Chaos Dragon King.
The Chaos Dragon King had always stayed on this floating island, living peacefully with the City of Mages.
Maybe because it had been restricted since birth, just like the Storm Dragon King of Rhea Canyon, it had become an almost legendary existence.
Very few people had ever seen their true forms.
Likewise, it was as if they were waiting for someone to deliberately challenge them.
They could never leave the place where they existed.
Actually, Ryan was also very puzzled.
Why, after fighting for so long, had there still not been a single scale falling off the Chaos Dragon King's body?
Normally, after being hit like that twice, a normal dragon should have started dropping gold coins already.
Could it be that because the Chaos Dragon King was formed from magic power, it actually had no scales at all?
Thinking of this, Ryan's face turned red with anger.
'That bastard Rachel, this thing does not even have scales, yet he could still add a Chaos Dragon King scale into the blueprint?'
Ryan felt like he had been completely scammed, yet he had no proof.
But now, whether it had scales or not no longer seemed important.
Because at this moment, the Chaos Dragon King was already extremely weak.
At this rate, if there was one more round.
This Dragon King would probably be beaten to death by Viktor.
Sure enough, he had still underestimated Viktor's strength.
Who fights for such a short time and then releases two war magic spells in a row?
But the Chaos Dragon King naturally would not give up resisting.
Even severely injured, it still let out a massive roar, its pupils swelling as rage rose from its heart straight to its brain.
Its enormous body began to shrink violently.
The largest head in the center of the Chaos Dragon King opened its huge mouth and swallowed all the already dead magical creatures.
And it was not over. Its remaining heads and its heavy body actually began to dissolve.
As if devouring itself, it absorbed all that chaotic energy into its belly.
Dark clouds and lightning slowly covered it, forming a dark sphere of light that gradually surrounded it completely.
Boom! The sphere of light shattered instantly, and thick and terrifying shockwaves spread out from the center in all directions.
"Th… this power!?"
Ryan was stunned. The Chaos Dragon King before his eyes seemed to have undergone a huge change compared to before.
Its body became slender, with only one sharp head slightly revealed from the darkness.
Several massive claws were arranged along both sides of its body, and its sharp fangs and claws also shone with black light.
Its flesh wings lifted its body into the air. At this moment, it was suspended within a hazy chaos.
One giant claw grabbed the drifting chaos and suddenly tore it apart, the dark clouds gradually dispersing.
Two enormous dragon eyes stared fixedly at Viktor, filled with extreme anger.
And its level had also changed.
[Lv60]
Unlike the Storm Dragon King's infinite revival.
The Chaos Dragon King's trait was.
Level up evolution.
By devouring chaotic energy, it forcefully raised itself.
After the magical creatures on the Twilight Sky Domain died, the chaotic magic that flowed out could not be used by anyone.
Only the Chaos Dragon King could devour it, as if it were bait prepared naturally for it.
Because it itself was the embodiment of chaotic energy.
Ryan quickly grabbed the recording cube floating beside him, aimed it at the giant dragon in front of him, and scanned it.
Then he looked at the information transmitted back from the cube in disbelief.
"Six… six… sixth tier!!!"
This thing had already grown to the sixth tier.
Ryan stared blankly at the information displayed on the device.
If he was not running now, then when would he run.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Amid the heavy echoes, the Chaos Dragon King swallowed everything around it into its enormous mouth.
The white floating rocks and surging energy quickly gathered between its jaws, gradually condensing into a terrifying form of energy.
A gigantic energy cannon slowly took shape inside the Chaos Dragon King's mouth.
The surrounding space became chaotic and disordered under this dreadful devouring.
It kept bending and tearing apart. Strands of nothingness seeped out, and the clear air quickly disappeared.
In the twisted air floated a unique smell that mixed everything in the world together, making one shiver.
Ryan was already in a panic, constantly pulling things out of his overalls, trying to get through this crisis.
However, in his flustered state, he seemed to have forgotten.
The main character of this battle was Viktor.
"As expected, two times are not enough."
As his words fell, Viktor raised one hand.
Under Ryan's dumbfounded gaze, a pitch black scale appeared out of thin air in his left hand.
One side of the scale was tilting toward the side where a dagger was placed.
"Then let's try this."
Magic surged in his palm, climbing along the scale like vines, fully releasing its power.
Pitch black color flowed in the void, spreading outward like ink soaking into paper.
Behind Viktor, countless magic formations suddenly appeared.
Complex patterns reflected against his windbreaker, and at the center of each formation were intricate runes.
He closed his eyes, sensing the flow of this mysterious power. After a brief silence, he opened them again.
"[Pitch black justice pierces through confusion, burning will turns into the scale that judges good and evil]"
Ryan looked confused when Viktor took out that strange black scale.
When he saw Viktor raise the scale again, he was even more shocked.
"Wait, what are you doing!?"
The black scale broke free from Viktor's grasp and flew toward the sky.
The huge scale, tainted like ink, wandered in midair, and the once clear sky seemed to be torn into a patch of chaos.
Immediately after, the Chaos Dragon King's attack arrived.
A violent storm mixed with immense black and white power swept down from the sky, heading straight for Viktor.
But at that moment, the scale floating in midair suddenly shone with astonishing light.
With its own power, it resisted that terrifying magic.
Chaotic magic turned into countless brilliant streams of light, shooting in all directions.
The surrounding broken stones were heavily damaged, and even space itself was torn open with cracks.
At this time, the scale gradually began to tilt toward the tray without the dagger.
As if pressed down by some invisible force. In the end, the other side of the scale was heavily forced downward.
"[The chaotic world is eroded by filth, the blood scornful evil ghost will perish completely in this judgment]"
As soon as the words fell, a gigantic magic formation instantly bloomed from beneath the scale, extending continuously toward the ground.
A figure gradually stood up within the formation.
Behind her, a pair of pitch black wings spread open.
Her entire body was covered in deep black armor, and a half helmet hid her eyes in shadow.
Mysterious patterns flickered on the helmet, as if carrying ancient power.
Beneath her closed eyes, her lips held a firm curve.
Only half of her face was visible, yet it was enough to make people feel that beauty beyond the mortal world.
A chaotic and pitch black aura constantly radiated from her body, and deep black patterns covered the surface of her limbs.
In Ryan's eyes appeared that dark and mysterious existence, like rolling black flames, flickering in and out of sight, stirring imagination.
A heavy aura filled with contempt and obsession toward the mortal world kept invading his mind.
It felt as if his bones were pierced by steel needles, and even his skin seemed to go through alternating burning and dampness.
And the goddess floating in the air held a dagger, her expression calm and unchanged.
In an instant, a pitch black shadow flashed through her hand, and the dagger gradually expanded into a jet black blade.
Her other hand steadily supported the pitch black scale.
"[The goddess of justice who purifies filth will bring destruction and hatred to the insignificant beings]"
Amid Viktor's calm and mysterious chanting.
She, with her helmet covering her face, stared at the giant dragon before her.
As if making the final judgment.
[Divine Scale: Astraea's Divine Judgment]
