As the beam of light shot skyward and rapidly spread, a massive runic array firmly enveloped the entire battlefield.
Huo Ling, within the battlefield, instantly felt waves of bone-deep chill.
It was not only Huo Ling. Bahamut's terrified howls let even outsiders understand just how frightened the Platinum Dragon God was.
This Dragon God had never displayed such emotion throughout the previous battle, not even when the seven ancient golden dragons had died.
Not even when He was in terrible condition and on the verge of death had He been this terrified.
But with the runic array Tiamat had unleashed, Bahamut was truly afraid this time.
Bahamut roared, "Do you really dare to devour me?!"
He had no mind left for fighting. He wanted only to flee this place, yet he could never escape.
Tiamat sneered viciously. "Of course. Otherwise, why would I have come here to besiege and kill you!"
"Aren't you afraid that after devouring me, He'll revive inside your body?!" Bahamut roared furiously.
At the same time, he used these threatening words to remind Tiamat not to act rashly.
Tiamat erupted with power and swiftly stuck to Bahamut. Her five dragon heads and claws struck together, launching a frenzied assault upon Bahamut.
"Whether He will revive remains to be seen. But the hatred between you and me can no longer be healed. Only by killing you and devouring you can I feel true joy!"
"Hehehehe!"
"Bahamut, accept your fate. You cannot escape!"
Tiamat's terrifying shrieks echoed through the void.
In the distance, Huo Ling slowed his attacks after Tiamat released this spell.
He cast a sidelong glance as he studied Tiamat's spell. This spine-chilling sensation did not make him feel good either.
As Huo Ling deciphered the runes, he gradually came to understand the spell's effect.
