One-on-One
"Aww—"
"Conquer the Abyss! For the glory of the Great Red Dragon, slaughter these bastards of the Abyss!"
"For the Empire! Slaughter them all!"
At this moment, the voices of the Abyss Dragon Beast and demons were completely drowned out by the fervent battle cries of the Imperial Legion.
The Wyvern Knight brandished their longswords and thrust out their lances, slaughtering the demon knights who were stunned or even terrified, their purplish-black blood splattering in the air.
Meanwhile, the Wyvern and Flame Wyvern were tearing at the Abyss Dragon Beast that were much larger and more ferocious than themselves, even pouncing on them and tearing at their chests.
"Aww~~"
The Abyss Dragon Beast instinctively let out a painful howl.
But under the terrifying pressure emanating from those hundreds of Keosius bloodlines, even their flight was unsteady, let alone their struggle and resistance.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
One after another, Abyss Dragon Beast fell from the sky, crashing onto the mountainside, shattering rocks, causing the mountain peaks to tremble and sending debris flying.
The corpses of the dragon beasts continued to roll down the mountainside, staining the hillside with purplish-black blood.
The Empire's Wyvern Legion continued its descent, scattering the Abyss Dragon Beast Legion, which then rested at the base of the mountain.
Immediately afterwards, they used the surging airflow to climb rapidly again, reaching a height of several hundred meters in the air.
"Victory!"
Alger stood on the back of the giant eagle, raised the Eternally Burning Greatsword high, and once again released a dazzling flame in the sky, as if adding eyes to the Red Dragon phantom.
He looked down at the wailing Abyss Dragon Beast below, his Golden Vertical Pupils, representing his noble bloodline, filled with an unwavering determination to win.
The Wyvern Knight roared with fervent cheers, their lances forming a forest, and the crimson imperial banners fluttering high in the sky.
"Victory! Victory!"
"Long Live the Empire!"
Wyvern and Flame Wyvern gathered again in the sky, flapping their wings to form crimson clouds.
At this moment, the connection of their bloodlines was fully manifested in them. Their movements were as if they were carved from the same mold, and every flap of their wings produced a resonance.
"Roar--"
These Wyvern and Dragonkin simultaneously opened their gaping maws, and the roars emanating from their throats merged together to form a long and resonant dragon roar.
Below the Imperial Dragon Horde, the Abyss Dragon Beast suffered heavy casualties in the last charge, with nearly 40% already fallen to the ground, while the Demon Cavalry were wiped out, and even their formation had become extremely loose.
These Abyss Dragon Beast raised their heads, and the image of the Red Dragon was reflected in their pure black eyes. Their dragon bodies trembled, and they couldn't help but let out low moans from deep in their throats.
"Gurgle."
As a twisted product of Red Dragon, Wyvern, and demons, the Abyss Dragon Beast, despite being endowed with the power of chaos, are still dragons in essence.
Their bodies flow with ancient dragon blood, and even after thousands of years, they cannot escape the suppression of that bloodline's status.
Almost all the Abyss Dragon Beast were whimpering and trembling, terrified by the impending Embers of the Burned Dragon Legion.
Faced with the menacing Embers of the Burned Dragon Legion, the largest Abyss Dragon Beast was finally driven to a bloodthirsty frenzy. It let out a deafening roar and began its resistance.
"Roar--"
The Abyss Dragon Beast opened its blood-red maw and let out a noisy, chaotic roar, like the wind blowing through a deep ravine, spewing out foul-smelling, sticky saliva from its mouth.
This dragon beast is the leader of the Abyss Dragon Beast Legion, and its demonic bloodline is the most concentrated.
For hundreds of years it has roamed the wilderness of the Abyss, preying on all demons and visitors who trespass on its territory; it has even devoured many of its own weaker kind.
Abyss Dragon Beast only bring fear to other creatures and will never allow themselves to become prey.
Its dark red, scaly skin was covered with poisonous barbs, which covered its massive body, which was over twenty meters long. Its powerful bat wings flapped, and the tattered Wing Membrane made a bellows-like sound.
The Abyss Dragon Beast stretched its neck and roared, challenging the entire dragon horde.
High in the sky Alger sneered, "Ha, you foolish, ignorant beast, I'll make you regret your actions."
Before he could react, an impatient roar erupted from the dragon horde of the Embers of the Burned Empire, filled with fervent fighting spirit.
"Aww—"
Immediately afterwards, a huge figure flew out from the dragon horde and came to the front of the Wyvern and Flame Wyvern.
That was Wyvern, a being with a name bestowed by the emperor himself, whose status was equivalent to that of an Smaug Dragon Blood Marquis!
It spread its wings and opened its thick arms, displaying its magnificent and imposing figure.
Then, Smaug lowered his head, looking down disdainfully at the Abyss Dragon Beast, his golden vertical pupils revealing mockery, and he even beckoned with his claws.
Compared to the Abyss Dragon Beast, his body length is slightly shorter, but it still reaches the twenty-meter level.
Compared to the somewhat emaciated Abyss monster, this Wyvern leader was much stronger; its torso, Limbs, and tail were all bulging with powerful muscles.
Compared to Wyvern, this creature resembled a fully grown Red Dragon, its body emanating a pungent sulfurous odor; it was its legs that revealed its true identity.
Alger immediately shook his head and chuckled, "This guy is still as reckless as ever."
"Commander, what should we do?"
Alger said confidently, "Then let's watch a good show."
It would be impolite to interrupt a duel between dragons, especially since Alger had enough confidence in the Wyvern leader.
"Aww—"
Faced with Smaug's provocation, the Abyss Dragon Beast was enraged. It roared and suddenly flapped its tattered wings, stirring up a fierce, foul wind as it charged toward the Wyvern leader. Smaug also raised its head and let out a long howl, then spread its wings, tightened its tail, and swooped down irresistibly toward its special "prey".
The scorching hurricane mingled with the stench of the hurricane.
When they were only a hundred meters apart, both of them opened their huge mouths almost simultaneously and unleashed their proud breaths.
However, the Abyss Dragon Beast spews out black and red flames carrying chaotic energy.
Smaug, on the other hand, spewed forth scorching dragonfire comparable to that of Adult Red Dragon, carrying the power of the Embers of the Burned Emperor.
"Boom!"
Two powerful energies collided, creating a violent and dazzling explosion in mid-air, with dark red and crimson gunpowder intertwining to form a chaotic fireball.
The next moment, the two Dragonkin turned their heads and used their breath to bombard each other's wings.
Smaug's dragonfire directly scorched and pierced through the Abyss Dragonkin's Wing Membrane, creating a huge gap in it.
The Abyss Dragonkin stretched out its neck and attacked Smaug's Dragon Wing with its black and red Abyss dragonfire.
But this Wyvern was too strong; its athletic ability was unbelievable.
"Aww!"
Smaug's wing and pectoral muscles bulged, with prominent veins on their surface.
He actually used his immense strength to swing one of his Dragon Wing, creating a scorching hurricane, and forcefully twisted his body in mid-air to dodge the attack of the Abyss dragon flames.
At this point, the Abyss Dragon Beast's movements were already somewhat inconvenient. Its massive dragon body swayed in mid-air for a long time before it could barely maintain its balance.
The howling wind whistled through the hole in its right Wing Membrane, making a noisy sound.
But Smaug wasn't about to let such an opportunity slip by. The Wyvern let out an excited roar, then spread its wings and swooped down from the sky once more.
"Roar--"
The Abyss Dragon Beast repeatedly spewed out black and red fireballs, attempting to block the Wyvern's deadly breath through a surprise attack.
But Smaug was fearless. He dodged the Abyss dragon's flames with ease and fluidity, spreading and spinning in the air, and also retaliated by spitting out balls of fire.
In just a few breaths, Smaug had arrived in front of the Abyss Dragon Beast.
"Awooo! Awooo!"
The Wyvern let out an excited roar, extended its thick, sharp claws, and continued to accelerate its dive, its sharp claws getting closer and closer to the Abyss Dragon Beast.
A cunning glint flashed in the dragon's dark eyes.
It first pretended to flee backwards, and then, just as Smaug was about to catch it, it swung its long tail covered with pincers.
"Whoosh—"
The sharp pincers pried open the scales and pierced the Wyvern's body, injecting a powerful venom.
"Aww—"
The Wyvern, in pain, raised its head and howled, but the toxins did not weaken it; instead, they made it even angrier.
The Abyss Dragon Beast's venom originally came from the Wyvern, and both species are resistant to it.
Smaug's eyes were practically spitting fire as it used its sharp claws to grab the Abyss Dragon Beast Abyss Dragon Beast's wings, slamming its body into the mountain peak ahead.
"Boom!"
With Earth-Shattering roar, the two colossal beasts crashed into the mountain peak and became entangled in a brutal and bloody melee.
Despite being slightly smaller, Smaug's body, infused with the blood of Red Dragon, was far stronger than that of the Abyss Dragon Beast.
It pressed down on the Abyss Dragon Beast with overwhelming force, grabbing its body, tearing at its flesh, and using its mouthful of blade-like teeth to bite the Abyss Dragon Beast's neck.
The dark red scales were mercilessly torn apart, revealing large patches of dark flesh and blood, and a hideous wound appeared on the neck of the Abyss Dragon Beast.
"Aww—"
Accompanied by the piercing howl of the Abyss Dragon Beast, Smaug's highly corrosive purplish-black blood splattered all over his body.
The Abyss Dragon Beast struggled incessantly, lashing Smaug's hind legs with its barbed tail and scratching the Wyvern's head with its razor-sharp claws.
It also opened its blood-red maw, preparing to spew out Abyss flames at close range.
But all of this was futile in the face of overwhelming power. Smaug pressed his right claw firmly against the Abyss Dragon Beast Abyss Dragon Beast's neck, preventing it from making a sound, let alone exhaling.
It used its left claw to continuously widen the wound, tearing it to the chest, and then extended its claw into the Abyss Dragon Beast's body, wantonly churning its internal organs.
The Abyss Dragon Beast's body trembled violently and struggled, but it no longer had the strength to resist.
For easier flight, typical Wyvern are relatively slender.
But Smaug is different. This creature, who has received the Dragon Blood Blessing several times, is covered in armor-like muscles and possesses strength that is unmatched by ordinary dragons.
Finally, Smaug grinned and lowered his head, opened his jaw, and bit down on the slender neck, then used all his strength to bite down with all his might.
"Snap!"
The crisp sound of bones shattering rang out.
The Abyss Dragon Beast struggled a few times before turning its head to one side, its wings, which it had tried to raise, limply collapsing to the ground.
Its eyes were dull and lifeless, its body reeked of a foul odor, and saliva and blood dripped from the corners of its mouth. It was completely lifeless.
The Abyss Dragon Beast died just like that.
This apex predator of the Abyss, a dragon that feeds on demons, died a humiliating death on the Prime Material Plane.
Smaug thus stood on the head of the dead Abyss Dragon Beast, rising to his feet on his strong legs and excitedly spreading his wings.
"Aww—"
It stretched its neck, raised its head and roared, emitting an extremely excited howl, as if proclaiming its power to the whole world.
Gazing at the still-warm corpse of their leader, the remaining Abyss Dragon Beast in mid-air were completely thrown into panic, finding themselves leaderless.
You must know that it is the most powerful Abyss Dragon Beast among them, which has devoured countless demons and its own kind. Even if seven or eight ordinary dragon beasts attacked together, they would hardly be able to defeat it.
But now, right before their very eyes, an incredibly Wyvern brutally killed their leader in a duel and then trampled on his head to humiliate him.
This was truly terrifying! Amidst this atmosphere of panic, the Abyss Dragon Beast began to scatter and flee, letting out frantic howls and flapping their wings haphazardly as they flew toward the Abyss Teleportation Gate.
Unfortunately, a horde of dragons lurked high in the sky, showing no mercy to these monsters from the Abyss.
Alger lowered his head, watching the retreating figures, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
"Do they think the empire can come and go as it pleases? Since they ignorantly chose to set foot on the empire's territory, they must pay the price for their choice."
Alger slowly raised his longsword, pointing the tip at the Abyss Dragon Beast, and calmly commanded:
"Slaughter these reptiles from the Abyss to the last drop!"
Among the Embers of the Burned Dragon Legion, whether they were Wyvern, Flame Wyvern, or Red Scale Conqueror, their eyes gleamed—especially the players.
To the players, this wasn't Abyss Dragon Beast at all; it was practically free contribution points and Gold Coin.
It is important to know that when facing an enemy whose back is exposed, these cavalrymen can often play their greatest role and easily crush the fleeing enemy.
And now, even if those enemies are Abyss Dragon Beast, this outcome will not change.
"Charge!"
"For the Empire!"
"Kill all these Abyss Dragon Beast!"
"Aww—"
Accompanied by a resounding dragon roar, hundreds of Wyvern and Flame Wyvern swooped down with unstoppable force, engulfing the Abyss Dragon Beast like a crimson torrent.
Soon, huge and twisted corpses fell from the sky, forming countless filthy blood pits on the wasteland.
The Abyss Dragon Beast Legion, which the demons used as a secret weapon, was completely annihilated.
