Looking up at the giant dragon hanging high in the sky, staring intently at its disdainful Golden Vertical Pupils, Koman felt an uncontrollable surge of anger rising in his heart.

"How dare you ignore me!"

"I am Koman, son of Kasa Everfrost, the last heir of the Everfrost Tribe, the avenger from the Abyss, and the giant who will soon bury you!"

The Fallen Giant, his eyes blazing with fury, roared to the heavens.

More and more cracks appeared on his enormous, twisted body, from which a dark yellow light emanated from the Abyss.

"Abyss's Wrath!"

With a roar that shook the heavens, Koman hurled his black spear, sending the endless Abyss torrents rushing upstream toward the Red Dragon suspended high in the sky.

The turbulent current contained surging chaotic energy, the wails of countless Wronged Souls, and struggling limbs could be vaguely seen amidst the swirling black mist.

Keosius gave a cold laugh.

"So they are remnants of the Frost Giant."

"It seems we weren't clean enough back then; we didn't nip it in the bud."

As he spoke, Keosius had already spread his wings and turned sharply at an unimaginable speed, soaring through the sky.

However, the black spear followed closely behind, drawing a graceful arc in the air before turning a corner and barely keeping up with the Red Dragon's flight.

"Oh, they even have a target acquisition system?"

Slightly surprised, Keosius tightened his wings slightly and quickly increased the distance by a hundred meters.

On the ground, Koman was exerting all his strength, his face contorted in rage, as he continuously supplied the black spear with Abyssal Energy.

The Fallen Giant stared intently at the Red Dragon that pierced the sky, and upon seeing the black afterimage closely following behind, he couldn't help but burst into wild laughter.

"Keosius! You pathetic reptile fleeing in disarray!"

"The Spear of Revenge will keep chasing you until—it pierces your heart!"

The devil's deep voice entered Koman's mind, making him feel even more excited.

"That's it. Come, drink from the milk of the Abyss Mother, and nail your enemies to the ground."

Keosius did not answer, but gradually reduced his speed, allowing the black spear to catch up.

Just as the spear, imbued with Abyssal Energy, was about to strike, Keosius suddenly unleashed a burst of flames, casting a spell with his will.

[Go Through Fire and Water]

The next moment, its enormous body suddenly transformed into a raging sea of fire, forming a continuously burning curtain in the high sky.

The black spear, carrying the power of the Abyss, pierced through but missed. However, its terrifying speed generated a powerful inertia, causing the spear to continue moving forward at high speed, albeit at a gradually decreasing pace.

Just as the spear's speed was about to reverse and become extremely slow, the flames behind it solidified, and the Red Dragon reappeared in the air.

Keosius used force field magic to probe these Abyss currents and found that in all the spaces through which the currents passed, the Weave became chaotic, as if it had fallen into a deep chaos, making it difficult to grasp.

"A very interesting gadget."

"But... the experiment ends here."

Keosius revealed a ferocious smile, and with a slight tap of his claws, a tiny anti-magic ray suddenly appeared.

The moment the unassuming ray touched the black spear, the ancient runes covering the spear dimmed, and the surrounding Abyss torrents vanished.

"Snap!"

With a crisp sound, countless cracks appeared on the spear, which eventually shattered completely into scattered fragments.

"No--"

Koman on the ground let out a wail.

That "Spear of Revenge" was created by him over three years, infusing it with his vengeful emotions and countless Abyssal Energy; it was capable of locking onto the heart of his enemy.

But Keosius merely cast the Eighth Circle Spell of the Disintegration Magic, and the spear, which had cost him countless efforts, was instantly destroyed.

"If this is all you have to rely on, then it's far too boring."

Keosius extended his claws and easily tore through space as if shredding paper, creating a Space Rift with flames burning at its edges.

"Sizzle..."

With a crisp sound, sharp claws appeared behind the Fallen Giant.

The Red Dragon tore through the fragile space, revealing a ferocious four-horned dragon head in the Space Rift, followed by a long and thick neck, and finally a strong torso and broad Dragon Wing.

Keosius supported his body with his strong hind legs, stood upright, spread his wings and cast a huge shadow that almost enveloped the giant.

Koman suddenly turned around and couldn't help but look up.

Compared to the nearly 30-meter-long dragon, even Koman, who was 10 meters tall and had already surpassed the limits of the Frost Giant race, appeared as small as a dwarf.

Keosius grinned, revealing a ferocious smile.

"Got you."

The next moment, the Red Dragon suddenly crushed the massive body down, like a crimson mountain pressing the Fallen Giant to the ground. Veins bulged on its thick, scale-covered arms, and its ferocious, sharp claws pressed the giant firmly to the ground.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the earth cracked like a spider web, and the giant was crushed by the Red Dragon, half of his body caved in, black and red blood splattering out, and unidentified internal organs spitting out of his mouth.

This is the power of the sleeping Red Dragon, which has transcended the boundaries of mortals.

"You're not even as good as your father; you're far inferior."

"At least he can put some real pressure on me, but you—you're just a deformed child forcibly instilled from the Abyss. If your backer is the Frost Giant's wrathful lord Kostchtchie, I might pay you Qidian attention."

Keosius crushed the Fallen Giant with force, repeatedly feeling the flesh tearing and breaking apart in his claws. Then he slightly opened his jaw, and extremely hot energy surged deep in his throat.

"So, farewell—the so-called Avengers."

"No!"

"Revenge, I need more power."

At the same time, the Fallen Giant let out a wail, stretching out his trembling arm toward the sky with his last strength.

"Lord Jezal Slack, I beg you."

Thick blood and pieces of flesh kept gushing from his mouth, yet he never stopped praying.

"This is the last time, and I will ask for payment."

Finally, a cold response came from the void.

The moment Keosius unleashed the blazing white flames, the Fallen Giant became translucent, and a spatial vortex rapidly formed around him. He vanished in a burst of lightning, leaving behind his grotesque image on all the nearby walls.

Immediately afterwards, the pervasive Abyssal Energy converged, and the giant's body reappeared in the distance.

Keosius's breath missed its target, only burning through the earth and leaving a charred crater several feet deep.

"Oh?"

"This is somewhat interesting."

The Red Dragon slowly closed its mouth, which was shrouded in white smoke, and a hint of surprise appeared in its pale golden eyes.
