Brutal Slaughter

The awakened Balor Demon looked down at his unharmed body and said excitedly, "As expected, as expected! I knew that lord wouldn't let me die!"

I am that being's vessel in the Material Plane, His agent! He will not let me die!

Balor raised his head, his face contorted with rage and his eyes filled with venom as he stared at Keosius. He bared his jagged fangs, spewed out scalding smoke, and roared, "Keosius!"

See that? You can't kill me! Hahahaha, behind me is the great Abyss Lord!

Tremble! No matter how powerful you are, you are merely a dragon of the Material Plane, utterly incapable of contending with those who truly control the world!

A vast, chaotic fog surged around Balor like a tide, forming dark, deep vortexes, behind which the Revenge Devil phantom still smiled eerily.

Are you trying to provoke me?

"Is this the task that Devil Lord assigned to you?"

The Red Dragon turned its head and looked at the Balor with a strange gaze. Its pale golden eyes gleamed, as if it were scrutinizing or threatening.

"Jierlazarax."

Keosius uttered the name softly, his burning gaze piercing through the thick, chaotic fog, as if seeing the demon hidden behind the Balor through its eyes.

"Leo Bosk, my old friend, you are still as confident and ignorant as ever."

Keosius's voice grew louder and louder, eventually evolving into a thunderous roar that echoed across the wasteland, causing millions of creatures on the battlefield to tremble in fear.

Do you really think I'm afraid of the Abyss Lord behind you?

The Red Dragon raised its arm, pointing its sharp, ferocious claws at the Balor, and a materialized fire elemental authority appeared in its claws.

Keosius flapped his broad Dragon Wing, and a stream of flames hundreds of meters wide appeared behind him.

[Mastery of Flames]

Instantly, the whole world seemed to boil over, with countless Mars and smoke rising from the ground.

Dozens of fiery meteors streaked across the sky, leaving behind crimson trails like cracks.

Thick pillars of fire rose from the earth, thick black volcanic ash obscured the sky, and scorching clouds churned high in the air. In an instant, the Material Plane seemed to have transformed into a terrifying apocalyptic fire domain, with surging Fire Elemental burning everything in the Abyss that existed on this land.

"No--"

"Lord Leo, save us!"

"It's so hot! It's so hot!"

"Then, how could such a Red Dragon appear in the Prime Material Plane!"

"We are demons, we should descend upon the world with flames, how could we be burned to death by flames!"

The demons and Abyss monsters wailed and screamed, even kneeling and begging for mercy in the direction of the Red Dragon, but they still could not change their fate of being burned to ashes by the flames.

Not only were their twisted demonic bodies burned to ashes, but even their souls were dried up and burned by the flames that contained the essence of destruction.

The empire's retinue looked around in shock at the apocalyptic scene before them, their faces, illuminated by the firelight, filled with fanaticism.

"Long live the Dragon Lord!"

"Long Live the Empire!"

"Keosius, is this the power of His Majesty?!"

However, some Imperial soldiers soon realized that this was a good opportunity to launch a counterattack against the demons and avenge their comrades.

"Kill them!"

"It was these despicable demons who killed the commander to avenge their comrades!"

They raised their weapons high and, guided by the flames, charged once again into the dark mass of demons. But the demons were now powerless to fight back and were even fleeing in disarray.

"Lord Leo, save us!"

"Commander Balor Demon!"

"Quickly! Send down the Abyss Lord behind you! Only He can Contend Against such a being!"

"My lord, please open the Abyss Teleportation Gate! We want to return to the Abyss!"

The more intelligent demons struggled in the flames, desperately pleading for help in the direction of Balor.

The demons had expected this invasion to be another feast, and that they would be faced with ruins and wailing civilians.

What they never expected was that what awaited them was endless artillery fire, raging dragon flames, and—an exaggerated Red Dragon over forty meters long.

However, at this very moment, even the Balor, whom the demons had placed their hopes on and regarded as their lifeline, was in dire straits.

"Boom!"

A sound like the air exploding rang out.

That's Sunburst! "Ah!"

The blazing pillar of fire mercilessly pierced through the Abyssal Energy, easily penetrating the chest of the Balor and creating a huge charred hole, killing it once again.

However, the chaotic fog continued to surge and converge towards the body of the Balor, filling the gap in its chest and even condensing into a beating demonic heart.

"You actually dare to kill me!"

Balor revived from the dead once more, staring in terror at the Red Dragon not far away, its massive body trembling uncontrollably.

It's happening again, it's happening again! It was the same years ago, when the Red Dragon, which wasn't as powerful as it is now, descended like a god and easily destroyed everything he owned.

And now, this scene seems poised to repeat itself.

Balor looked down at the earth, watching the demons struggling in the flames and being chased and killed by the Imperial soldiers, and recalled the scene of the the North soldiers fleeing in all directions a few years ago.

A deep sense of powerlessness, or even despair, welled up in the heart of Leo Bosk.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he mustered all his courage, roaring at the Red Dragon in the sky, "Keosius! You'd better think carefully! If you kill me, you will face the wrath of a true Abyss Lord!"

"Smack!"

The long whip, burning with Chaos Fire, lashed out from the air, aiming straight for the Red Dragon's head.

Keosius grinned and sneered, revealing a mouthful of sharp dragon teeth, and spewed out scalding white smoke.

"Even if the Revenge Devil behind you descends in person, I will not be afraid!"

Leo Bosk, you think you can act like a bully in the name of the Abyss Lord domestic dog?

That's incredibly overestimating themselves!

The Red Dragon roared, flapped its wings, and stirred up a scorching gale. It easily grasped the Flame Whip that was lashing out with its giant claws and used its immense strength to pull the Balor from a distance.

Instantly, terrifying dragon flames spread rapidly along the whip, about to engulf the Balor's arm that was gripping the whip.

Damn it!

Balor, staring at the roaring Red Dragon and the approaching dragon flames, released his grip in terror and desperately flew away into the distance.

But Keosius's speed was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

"Whoosh—"

All that could be heard was the howling wind and the ear-piercing sonic boom, as a scorching hot air wave surged from behind and swept across the sky.

When Balor turned around, the enormous Red Dragon had already appeared in the air behind him.

The Balor Demon's pupils contracted sharply as the crimson figure grew larger and larger in his eyes until it filled his entire field of vision.

"What?"

On the Red Dragon's thick arms, muscles bulged like iron balls, and veins stood out.

Claws, gleaming with a cold, sharp light like swords, tore through space, carrying a scorching hurricane as they slammed down upon him.

"Whoosh—"

How dare you—

First came a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, followed by the sound of claws tearing through flesh, and finally a pitiful wail.

Dark purple flesh and shattered entrails flew through the air and rained down on the ground.

Under the crushing power of the Red Dragon, the strong and huge body of the fire demon was torn apart in mid-air and split in two, with a clean cross-section even appearing at the waist.

Keosius flapped his wings and hovered silently high in the sky, watching with great interest as the battered body of Balor fell.

He said in a low voice, "Leo Bosk, I'd like to see how many times you can be resurrected."

Or rather, what will it take for the Revenge Devil behind you to descend upon the world and confront my revenge?

Sure enough, before Hun Keosius finished speaking, the dense fog of chaos gathered together like a torrent, eagerly surging into the upper half of Balor's body, repairing the demon's body once again.

"I, I said it!"

"Keosius, you... you can never truly kill me!"

Balor revived once more and continued to roar at the Red Dragon.

But having survived several deaths, its hand holding the Storm Greatsword was trembling violently, and its voice sounded weak and even timid.

Even he himself was unsure whether the Abyss Lord would abandon him, or whether he would wake up from his next death.

Before Balor could react, the Red Dragon descended from the sky with a thunderous roar, its massive claws piercing his chest and tearing his entire body apart.

The Abyss surges with torrents, Balor is resurrected once more.

"You--"

Before he could utter a single word, a blazing white pillar of fire shot down from the sky, turning his entire head to dust.

However, soon, the chaotic winds howled, Balor was reborn once again in the dark vortex.

"Can't be killed?"

Keosius gazed at the resurrected Balor, whose Calamity Dragon Eye, suspended in mid-air, shone brightly.

Enveloped and disturbed by the power of the Abyss, the Red Dragon could not predict the fire demon's next move, and he could not even sense the fire demon's soul.

Logically speaking, after demons die in the Material Plane, their souls leave their demonic bodies and return to the Blood Pool at the call of the Abyss.

Within Keosius's Empire Domain, these filthy and evil souls are intercepted and annihilated by the power of the Empire Domain, ultimately transforming into pure soul energy.

Despite killing Leo several times, Keosius never sensed the location of the Balrog's soul.

This is very abnormal.

Keosius whispered into the void, "The same old boring tricks again. Heh, Jierlazarax, you're more like a duke of Hell than a Devil Lord."

As he was speaking, he didn't forget to flap his wings and fly at high speed with the raging wind, getting closer to the Balor once again.

This time, Keosius wanted to grind the demon into mincemeat and see how the power of the Abyss could bring it back to life.

"Come on, Leo, my old friend, how many times have you died under my claws? I've lost count."

The Red Dragon's mocking voice echoed high in the sky, sending shivers down the spines of the demons on the ground.

The highest-ranking demon in the Abyss, the commander of the Abyss Legion, the incomparably powerful Balor, was thus wantonly slaughtered like a lamb to the slaughter.

"Ke Emperor is invincible!"

"This is way beyond the limit."

"I give up. What's the point of fighting a war? Just declare victory!"

"Keosius! The male of males, the most masculine of males! The ruler of dragons, the master of dragons."

The players were utterly shocked, staring blankly at the "excessively long CG" in the sky.

The players watched with great interest as the Balor, who was slaughtering them at will, was repeatedly brutally killed by their own Faction Leader. They clapped and cheered, and some even started recording videos—it was Steamed Bun.

He had even come up with a title for the video. "Ke Emperor's Battle Log - One Hundred Ways for the Abyss Boss to Die".

"Damn Red Dragon, this can't go on!"

Balor gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with fear and resentment.

Faced with the Red Dragon's fierce attack, he dared not be careless and chanted an ancient and chaotic Abyss spell.

The Balor's body shimmered with tiny black spiritual lights, the surrounding space gradually distorted, and its form became increasingly illusory.

Keosius keenly sensed all of this, and whispered in a voice only he could hear, "It's Abyssal Teleportation, but the destination doesn't seem to Abyss, but rather—"

The Red Dragon paused, flapped its wings in mid-air, and narrowed its golden eyes slightly as it sensed the spell.

"Anstica Mountains, Tieri Peak."

He uttered that name, the very place that had appeared countless times in the prophecies, the starting point of the Demon Invasion, and the stage he had meticulously prepared.

"Very good, it seems that Jierlazarax is waiting for me there."

The Red Dragon silently watched as the fire demon distorted space and disappeared from his sight, leaving behind a series of venomous curses before it departed.

"Keosius, enjoy these last moments! You and your empire are doomed!"

Hahaha, I will witness all of this unfold and savor the sweetness of revenge!

Keosius could have easily disrupted the spell and prevented Leo from escaping, but he didn't. He simply watched the Balor teleport away.

"Long live His Your Majesty Keosius!"

"Victory!"

"Great dragon, invincible!"

"His Majesty has once again led us to a glorious victory. Long Live the Empire!"

The Imperial soldiers on the ground were unaware of the situation; all they knew was that the Red Dragon had achieved a crushing victory in the battle against the Balor, and they cheered excitedly.

But only Lang Pu, Misha, and the others watched the teleportation spell fluctuations high in the sky, and doubts arose in their hearts.

Logically speaking, His Majesty would never let that Balor go; he would only destroy it completely.

If Leo Bosk escapes, it can only mean one thing—the war is far from over.

In fact, this was merely the beginning of a high-intensity battle exclusively for His Majesty the Emperor, just like the duel with the Ancient Silver Dragon, in which mortals were utterly unable to intervene.

Keosius gazed silently into the Abyss, a glimmer of light flashing in his pale golden pupils, revealing a resolute determination.

"Heh, another trap? But this time, it's still unknown who the hunter and the prey are."

Everything began in Anstika and will end in Anstika. From this moment on, the predetermined destiny is completely destroyed.

That's a really good ending.

A sound like tearing silk resounded through the sky, the surrounding space trembled violently, and many Wyvern flapped their wings in terror.

"This is."

"By Keosius!"

"That's His Majesty the Emperor! Is he going to hunt down that demon?"

Noticing this strange phenomenon, people all looked up at the sky, millions of eyes focusing on Keosius's massive dragon body.

The Red Dragon violently tore through space with its claws, creating a huge, burning Spatial Rift, before tightening its wings and diving into it.
