Chapter 274 – The Death Dance of the Dragon Empress and Emperor Dragon


“I walk with death!”

“Abyssal prisoners, brace yourselves for the wrath of death from the Plutonium Dragon!”

At the outer edge of the Sky Battle Zone, Yekaterina’s voice emerged in a deep roar.

She referred to herself as the Plutonium Dragon.

In the dragon’s heritage, there were records of the Plutonium Dragon, a creature of ancient hatred, also known as the Dragon of Hatred, an exceptionally powerful Dragon Kind that could not be born through natural breeding. Only a rare mutation in the Dragon Vein could give rise to such a dragon.

“Plutonium Dragon.”

“Yekaterina is the Plutonium Dragon? Has she fully confirmed her identity?”

Saga’s gaze flickered, for he had already speculated about Yekaterina, and the knowledge from the heritage was triggered, naturally bringing forth everything about the Plutonium Dragon in his mind.

In the entire Great Ring Multiverse, the heritage recorded only four Plutonium Dragons.

Each one was notoriously famous.

Katanian Gath, the oldest and most powerful Plutonium Dragon, was known as the Soulslayer for having killed the higher evil god—the Soul God Mokame—in the Inferno of Focused Flames.

Sylon, who feasted on demons, was known as the Disaster Star of the Abyssal Realms, the Star of Death.

Preferring the company of the undead and residing in the Negative Energy Plane, Raknau the Quiet Shadow was known for its silence.

Also in the Negative Energy Plane, guarding the gates of a world of death, was Varanasi the Nightshade.

Among these four renowned Plutonium Dragons, even the weakest was akin to a mid-tier deity, while the strongest had slain higher deities and was an extremely dangerous entity.

“If she truly is a Plutonium Dragon, Yekaterina’s prospects are boundless.”

“However, it seems all Plutonium Dragons eventually tread a path of loneliness and evil, severing ties with the Dragon Kind and making countless enemies.”

Saga thought silently.

The heritage warned that no one should approach any Plutonium Dragon, for they were innately dangerous dragons, walking sources of peril. Their destructive power far exceeded their peers and would continue to grow, something not even they could fully control. This was the source of their power, their very nature, and thus, even if they were unwilling, they would unconsciously pose a massive threat to their surroundings.

This description matched Yekaterina perfectly.

Yekaterina had just entered the realm of legend, but anyone close to her at this level would almost certainly perish from her radiating influence. Even ordinary legends needed to be on high alert to resist her radiation. Only beings like Saga, who were special, or those stronger than Yekaterina, could ignore her threat.

There weren’t many who could approach Yekaterina now, but it wasn’t a small number either. High-ranking Legends could easily withstand the radiation she emitted.

But think about it.

As Yekaterina grew stronger.

Due to her nature, the dangerous radiation she leaked would become increasingly potent, and fewer and fewer would be able to approach her.

One day, if Yekaterina were to become akin to a higher deity, the vast Great Ring Multiverse would have but a handful of beings capable of facing her.

Just as the heritage said, Plutonium Dragons were destined to stand against all life, walking a lonely and perilous path.

“No matter, with Yekaterina’s temperament, she won’t mind if she’s destined to be alone.”

“She enjoys the solitude that comes with danger and power, and at least she has me to accompany her all the way.”

Watching the unrestrained Yekaterina, Saga took a deep breath and thought silently.

Although the dragon siblings liked to compete with each other, the bond and affection from their bloodline were quite profound.

Withdrawing his wandering thoughts, Saga’s attention returned to the Sky Battle Zone.

At the same time.

An abyssal prisoner with a powerful aura, a Legendary of the sixth order, just one step away from high-ranking, noticed the very conspicuous Yekaterina.

Boom, boom, boom!

The sea surface churned with turbulent waves.

A creature resembling plant tentacles stirred to life.

Its body was mostly rooted below the sea, but the part exposed above the surface was hundreds of meters long, a massive and terrifying entity, slender all over with dense tendrils, like a super-giant plant lifeform—a Mushroom King Serpent—had set its sights on Yekaterina.

This Mushroom King Serpent was born in the outer plane—the Wild Expanse.

After swallowing a noble-blooded sun elf and being attacked by the powerful fey of the Wild Expanse, it was exiled to the Casserly Abyss.

This creature was almost the strongest of its kind.

Among its peers, the Mushroom King Serpent had few rivals and was one of the most prominent and powerful abyssal prisoners in this battle zone, having devoured many dragons.

Locking onto the swiftly approaching Yekaterina.

The Mushroom King Serpent revealed an unabashed desire to devour.

Spore Ejection!

The body of the Mushroom King Serpent contracted and then expanded, spraying a sky-darkening cloud of green spores from the top of its serpentine body. Some of the abyssal prisoners, also from the abyss, were caught off guard and enveloped by the spore cloud, immediately wailing as their bodies, inside and out, were drained of life by rapidly growing vines.

The surrounding dragons and prisoners couldn’t avoid it in time.

At the same time, the spore cloud swept directly towards Yekaterina.

Unlike most creatures avoiding the spore cloud, Yekaterina seemed not to see it at all. The golden threads on her body brightened, and she charged headlong into the dense green cloud of spores.

It was as if a ferocious beast was tumbling through the green clouds.

A spark suddenly lit up from deep within the spore cloud.

Then, it rapidly expanded into a raging inferno, igniting the vast expanse of spores.

Yekaterina, with her wings flapping, bathed in fire, emerged from the flames that had consumed the spore cloud. At the same time, with the movement of her wings, many dazzling golden particles scattered in all directions, creating a spectacular scene.

Seeing this.

Many of the abyssal prisoners around had not yet realized the danger.

But the dragons who had heard of Yekaterina immediately tensed up and abandoned their opponents, fleeing far away.

“Ha ha, cowardly dragons, run, run far away.”

One humanoid abyssal prisoner laughed, thinking it was their own strength that had scared away their opponent.

“Eh? What’s this?”

Suddenly, it noticed a tiny, dust-like, but very dazzling golden light point falling towards itself.

Under the horrified gaze of the dragons who had dodged.

Just as the golden particle lightly landed on the shoulder of the abyssal prisoner, time seemed to freeze for a moment, giving no chance for the prisoner to react. The next instant, accompanied by a loud boom, a bright and scorching mushroom-shaped flame exploded, engulfing the entire abyssal prisoner and instantly snuffing out its life.

And this explosion was just the beginning.

Boom, boom, boom!

A terrifying wave of explosions ensued, countless mushroom clouds formed in the skies above the Golden Sea, wave after wave of high-temperature, high-pressure shockwaves swept across the sea surface, evaporating countless waters, and also turning a vast expanse of sky and sea into a danger zone. Prisoners below the level of legend died en masse from the aftermath.

Fortunately, there were no dragons below the level of legend in this battle zone.

Otherwise, with Yekaterina’s indiscriminate destructive methods, in addition to annihilating the enemy forces, she would also have dealt a heavy blow to her own allies.

The beautiful yet deadly golden particles continued to be scattered by Yekaterina.

She, the dragon, was at the center of countless explosions, dangerously lethal yet dazzlingly brilliant.

“What a beautiful sight.”

Saga admired, against the backdrop of a sky filled with the smoke of war, the heart-stopping, shocking beauty of death and destruction that his dragon sister possessed.

“Dangerous creature, I’ll swallow you!”

With the spore cloud ineffective and witnessing the shocking scene of explosions, the Mushroom King Serpent realized the dragon before it was no simple character and directly used its trump card.

Swallow Whole!

From top to bottom, the body of the Mushroom King Serpent spun rapidly, its top opening with a ring of serrated jaws that seemed capable of swallowing everything. With its body twisting and extending, it surged upward at lightning speed, swallowing the approaching Yekaterina within its reach.

After this scene, Saga watched without worry.

Swallowing a Plutonium Dragon was not a smart choice.

Saga mourned for the Mushroom King Serpent in his heart for half a second, thinking that if it had used another method, it might have lasted a bit longer before Yekaterina, but swallowing her was no different from suicide.

“I need to exert myself too, can’t let Yekaterina hog all the limelight.”

“If I lose to Yekaterina, I’ll have to lick her claws.”

Although Yekaterina’s attacks were highly destructive and had a vast range, easily killing swathes of prisoners, Saga was not to be outdone.

With a thought, a faintly dark sheen covered him inch by inch.

Saga unfolded his Superheavy Battle Form, transforming into a black and gold dragon.

Rip!

With a targeted perception, a sweep of his immensely heavy dragon claw obliterated a mid-ranking Legendary prisoner who had sneaked up for a surprise attack, turning it into a mist of blood.

At the same time, Saga skillfully unleashed the Magnetic Cold Dragon Might.

The Dragon Might surged, sweeping across the battlefield.

The silent yet unbearable cold and heat, these two drastically different effects occurring simultaneously, made it difficult for creatures below mid-ranking Legendary to endure, quickly succumbing and losing their lives.

In stark contrast to the intense display on Yekaterina’s side.

Saga was like a silent reaper, leaving no visible offensive traces in his wake, but the abyssal prisoners around him fell in swathes, as if reaped by the scythe of death, losing their vitality and turning into corpses amidst the alternating cold and heat.

The key was, it was controllable.

Watching the life forces of their opponents plummet or die suddenly, the dragons were momentarily stunned, instinctively checking themselves and sighing in relief upon finding no harm, then invigorated, they struck hard at the prisoners who were more resilient but had not yet died.

Saga and Yekaterina.

Both of their attacks had vast ranges and were extremely lethal.

In terms of efficiency in killing creatures, the few high-ranking Legends present paled in comparison.

The appearance of one gold and one red dragon broke the stalemate, and they danced on the battlefield, tearing apart the Sky Battle Zone.

Boom!

The black and gold dragon claw smashed a pair of overlapping bear arms in front of it, its force undiminished, continuing to strike the chest of the berserk bear, entering from the front and breaking out the back.

The Legendary fourth-order berserk bear was slaughtered like a chicken before the black and gold dragon.

At the same time.

A silent air arrow shot from the side, hitting the black and gold dragon, followed by a piercing howl.

The black and gold dragon stood unshaken, the air arrow deflected to one side, piercing through several abyssal prisoners in a straight line.

Turning his head.

Saga’s gaze narrowed slightly, looking towards the creature that had attacked him.

The power essence consumed by the defense just now was not something an ordinary legend could achieve.

At this moment, reflected in Saga’s golden pupils was a creature with a very strange appearance.

Completely devoid of features and limbs, a mess of feathers fluttering without order, squeezed together to form the main body of this prisoner, with a long tail extending from the middle, trailing behind, all the feathers and the tail were pale in color, an unhealthy pallor that was unsettling to look at.

The Chimera Succubus.

Legend had it that these creatures were the abandoned children of deities with dominion over the sky and air, hence possessing powerful related abilities.

The prisoners in the Casserly Abyss came from many planes and worlds, each with its own characteristics and generally powerful.

If other creatures faced an invasion of prisoners from the Casserly Abyss, just the variety of different species would be a big problem.

Fortunately, the Dragon Kind had the dragon’s heritage.

Even with a variety of opponents, they had a certain level of awareness and were not lacking in intelligence about the other side.

The body of the Chimera Succubus, made of feathers, twisted towards the black and gold dragon.

At the same time, a whisper of the mind arose in Saga’s heart.

“Dragon, I do not slay the nameless. To die by my hand, to be remembered by me, will be your honor.”

Listening to the arrogant words of the Chimera Succubus.

Saga’s expression was calm, his eyes like a tranquil sea brewing a storm, he said:

“I will be filled with hatred and rage, annihilating any enemy that stands in my way. When my fury consumes you, you will remember my esteemed name.”

As his words fell, the black and gold dragon had already vanished from its spot.

An overwhelming shadow enveloped the Chimera Succubus.

Saga appeared above it, his dragon claw carrying a strong attraction, ferociously descending.

The Chimera Succubus’s feathers fluttered, vibrating at a high frequency, too fast for the naked eye to see, dodging Saga’s attack as if teleporting.

Its body of feathers was not for show.

Perhaps truly a deity’s abandoned child, possessing a portion of the sky’s dominion, the Chimera Succubus had a speed that surpassed legends. Thanks to this speed, although not yet a high-ranking legend, this creature was more troublesome than the average high-ranking legend.

Thousands of Chimera Succubus afterimages appeared in the air, surrounding the black and gold dragon.

These were not mere illusions, but afterimages formed by its extreme speed.

Mind Control!

The Chimera Succubus mastered many wind and lightning spells, as well as other abilities like psychic abilities. Its feathers lit up, and invisible mental forces, like tentacles, reached out towards the black and gold dragon’s mind.

However, as soon as it touched the black and gold dragon, it was blocked by an invisible and impregnable mental barrier.

Boom!

A mental lightning bolt with the power to dissolve mental forces erupted, shattering the Chimera Succubus’s psychic barrier and striking its will, causing it to lose consciousness momentarily.

Thousands of afterimages vanished, leaving only the farthest one.

“Remember my esteemed name—Emperor Dragon of Armageddon!”

The black and gold dragon’s gaze was electric, surging forward again, instantly reaching in front of the Chimera Succubus, a claw reaching out.

The Chimera Succubus, with a strong mind, had also come to its senses, watching the oncoming claw that pressed heavily, obscuring all its vision, and tried the same trick again, all its feathers fluttering together.

But Saga rarely allowed the same move to work on him twice.

He gathered power essence, and a black sheen of super-strong gravity spilled from the dragon’s claw, covering this space even faster, also enveloping the Chimera Succubus.

The air seemed to turn into a swamp filled with sticky glue.

The Chimera Succubus’s feathers fluttered, but its movements were sluggish, no longer the previous extreme speed.

In a moment of crisis.

Several strange feathers stretched out, revealing a beautiful, humanoid female face in the center.

This beautiful face opened its red lips, then let out a piercing wail.

The Wail of the Chimera Succubus!

Before the wailing of the Chimera Succubus, the space between it and the dragon’s claw shattered like a fragile mirror.

In this counterattack, the black and gold claw was unstoppable, continuing to pierce through the shattered space, and surprisingly not a single dragon scale was broken, unscathed as it grasped the Chimera Succubus in one claw.

Crack!

Blood flowed from between the fingers.

The Wail of the Chimera Succubus also came to an abrupt end.

The entire exchange lasted less than a minute, and the Chimera Succubus, a high-ranking legend of the sixth order and quite troublesome, died under the claw of the black and gold dragon.

Almost simultaneously.

On the other side, the frantically twisting body of the Mushroom King Serpent stiffened, then strands of golden threads emerged from its surface, followed by radiating diffusion, and in a fierce explosion, the entire Mushroom King Serpent shattered from the inside out. Yekaterina, with her wings held high, emerged from the rising mushroom cloud, continuing to bring destruction and death to other abyssal prisoners.

Just as the Golden Dragonfather had thought.

As long as they had a slight advantage, Saga and Yekaterina could kill the enemy with incredible efficiency, and even if they were at a disadvantage, any slight carelessness from the enemy could lead to an instant counter-kill.

This was something other dragons could not do.

“So strong, are they really young dragons?”

The morale of the allied dragons soared, shaken by the power of Saga and Yekaterina.

Having each slain numerous ordinary legends and each dealt with a sixth-order legendary prisoner, Saga and Yekaterina did not stop. The two exchanged a look, seeing the excitement and battle intent in each other’s eyes, then turned away and continued their fierce assault on the abyssal prisoners, advancing into the center of the battlefield while slaying their way through.

Golden particles of destruction blanketed the sky.

The silent yet deadly Dragon Might permeated all around.

The two dragons danced in the sky, against the backdrop of countless falling abyssal prisoners, with wails and explosions as their music, performing a magnificent war dance titled Death and Destruction.
