"To dare descend into the center of the dragon pack—what overbearing audacity!"
Seville, the Purple Dragon King, slightly changed expression; such terrifying momentum was indeed worthy of the being who defeated the King of Red Dragons, Osta.
Its ominous magic power made even his heart pound with fear.
The King of Red Dragons, Osta, stared fixedly at that black demonic dragon: "Acnologia!"
There was no need for further words at this moment. He released his magic power, carrying a terrifying red storm as he lunged at Acnologia.
Magic was ineffective; to kill this monster, one could only rely on close-quarters combat.
Acnologia knew how much time it would take to kill a Dragon King, so he didn't bother entangling with him. Instead, he lunged directly at the ordinary dragons nearby, disemboweling an Evil Dragon with a single claw.
The dragon beside him tried to retreat, but in the next instant, Acnologia grabbed its head and hurled it violently toward the King of Red Dragons, Osta, before continuing his slaughter of the ordinary dragons.
The King of Red Dragons, Osta, caught the incoming dragon with both hands and tossed it aside. Seeing that Acnologia had killed seven dragons in just a few moments, he flew into a rage: "Don't let him pick us off one by one! Everyone, attack together!"
Under the dragon pressure of the King of Red Dragons, Osta, the surrounding dragons finally snapped out of the shock of the brutal slaughter and charged forward one by one, roaring.
Some grabbed Acnologia's waist, others his legs, and the remaining dragons swarmed over him, pinning him down firmly.
However, before they could celebrate, a roar erupted from below. Terrifying magic power surged upward as a purple pillar of light pierced through the dark clouds in the sky, scattering the numerous dragons in all directions.
Acnologia broke free and soared into the sky. He opened his mouth to gather magic power, making the entire sky seem to tremble.
"Black Dragons Roar!"
With a roar, the gathered magic power erupted from his mouth like a condensation of darkness, filled with tyranny and destruction.
Seeing this, the numerous Evil Dragons knew the terror of that roar. They all began to gather magic power, releasing roars of their own to meet it, as did the three Dragon Kings.
In that instant, over a hundred magic roars collided in mid-air. For a moment, the world lost its color, and all sound vanished.
Immediately after, the clouds erupted with blinding light and a deafening explosion. The heavens and earth shook as if space-time itself were being torn apart. A storm of destruction instantly turned the entire forest into a vast expanse of scorched earth, with cracks extending for hundreds of miles as a terrifying mushroom cloud rose into the air.
Some Evil Dragons near the aftermath of the explosion couldn't even struggle before being reduced to ashes, while the three Dragon Kings were also sent flying thousands of meters by the shockwave.
Acnologia was blown even higher by the impact of the explosion until he was nearly invisible. However, he wasn't seriously injured; since magic was ineffective against him, most of the impact had been dissipated as he was knocked back through the air.
He calmed his turbulent blood and looked down at the dragons scattered below. His killing intent rose once more as he flapped his wings and dove down to harvest the Evil Dragons that were too injured to move.
"I will definitely kill you!"
The Wind Dragon King struggled to his feet and let out a roar toward the sky. Carrying a world-destroying gale, he lunged forward, his wings swinging to send thousands of wind blades slicing through the air.
Acnologia pierced an Evil Dragon's neck with his claws and looked back at the Wind Dragon King, sneering, "Did the Red Dragon King not tell you that magic is ineffective against me?"
He charged forward brutally, his terrifying dragon body shattering all the wind blades. He slammed into the Wind Dragon King without a moment's pause, grabbed the other's head, and executed a shoulder throw, slamming him violently into the ground.
"I know a bit of grappling myself!"
Acnologia laughed maniacally and gathered magic power in his mouth. A point-blank roar instantly shattered the terrified Wind Dragon King's head, before continuing to pierce thousands of meters deep into the earth!
"Damn it!"
The King of Red Dragons, Osta, hadn't expected that in a momentary lapse of attention, the Wind Dragon King would be killed. Why didn't that useless fool attack together with the others!
Just as he was about to charge at Acnologia, he suddenly felt the ground beneath him surge, causing him to stagger unsteadily. Immediately after, thousands of spells bombarded his body in an instant, forcing him back several steps.
"Human Mages!"
The King of Red Dragons, Osta's eyes flashed with crimson killing intent. To think mere humans dared to provoke him! He opened his mouth to gather red magic power, preparing to wipe out the crowd in the distance in one blow.
However, in the next moment, Acnologia appeared above his head and stomped his head into the ground. The roar he had just gathered exploded in his own mouth, blowing away half of his jaw.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
The King of Red Dragons, Osta, scrambled up and let out a roar of agony. Becoming increasingly violent, the magic power throughout his body boiled and burned like scorching flames, causing the very void to distort.
"Calm down, Osta!"
Seville, the Purple Dragon King, hurriedly cast high-speed regeneration magic to heal Osta's wounds. At the same time, he unleashed a roar at Acnologia, blasting him back several hundred meters.
"All together! Devour him!"
Several Evil Dragons became even more ferocious, opening their massive, fanged maws to bite at various parts of Acnologia's body. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.
"Begone!"
Feeling the pain, Acnologia let out a sky-shaking roar. He pierced the head of the dragon biting his leg with one claw and hurled it away, knocking over another dragon.
Seeing Acnologia in a precarious position, the other Evil Dragons seemed to see a glimmer of hope to kill him. One after another, they lunged forward fearlessly to tear at him. Even though Acnologia pierced their bodies and heads one after another, he still could not escape the danger.
"Damn it!"
Acnologia knew he couldn't let this continue. He quickly transformed into his human form to escape the dragons' maws and then soared into the sky.
"Separation Enchantment!"
He exerted his magic to its fullest, transferring all his injuries onto a white Evil Dragon.
"Ultimate Augmentation: Crown of God!"
After casting the Ultimate Augmentation on himself, he immediately transformed into his Black Dragon form. In this state, all his abilities were boosted to twice their usual levels!
Physique, perception, strength, speed, cognition, magic damage... everything surged exponentially!
However, the Black Dragon form possessed the ability of magic negation, which even he could not suppress. The Ultimate Augmentation state would be completely erased within a single second.
He was essentially exploiting a transformation time lag!
"One second is enough!"
Acnologia's magic power surged like a tidal wave, overwhelming the heavens and the earth as if it were about to swallow the entire world.
In just an instant, the Evil Dragons that had intended to pounce were suppressed by this terrifying magic power, pinned to the ground and unable to move.
Acnologia appeared before the King of Red Dragons, Osta, in an instant. Under Osta's terrified gaze, he pierced his abdomen with a claw and ripped out all his internal organs.
Then, as if crossing through space, he arrived before Seville, the Purple Dragon King, in a flash, shattering his head with a single punch as blood sprayed across the sky.
