At a manor on the outskirts of the Ancient Royal City, the ground was covered by a dark-purple fungal mat. Not only the flowers, grass, and trees, but even the buildings had been decomposed. Vein-like protrusions spread across the mat, faintly forming a gigantic summoning array.
Su Xiao stood at the center of the fungal mat. He crouched with one hand pressed against it, activating the ultimate effect of the Warlord title.
"Strongest Flame Dragon—Barbatos (Active): Summons the Demon Flame Dragon, Barbatos. If there are no Zerg units of the same race in the world where the Demon Flame Dragon, Barbatos, is located, it will enter a berserk state and receive the enhancements of the entire Demon Zerg race. The more Zerg units the Demon Zerg possess, the greater the enhancement Barbatos receives while in the berserk state...
Tip: This ability has a cooldown of 30 natural days. Tip: After summoning the Demon Flame Dragon, Barbatos, Barbatos can remain for a maximum of 1–5 hours (depending on the summoner's soul strength). It will then be teleported back to the Eternal Light World, and its berserk state will be removed.
The Zerg Void Gate in the Witch Realm had disappeared. Once Barbatos arrived in this world, it would immediately enter its berserk state. But that still was not what Su Xiao wanted. He intended to carry out a temporary enhancement that combined favorable timing and terrain—and could absolutely never be replicated afterward.
A loud boom came from beneath Su Xiao's feet. The earth cracked apart, and magma spread out from underground, boiling and splashing in all directions.
"Roar!"
The head and part of the upper body of the Demon Flame Dragon, Barbatos, burst from the magma. Scalding lava streamed down its lower jaw and folded dragon wings.
