Under the Red Dragon

Above the sky, the magic dragon spread its wings and roared, spewing flames and turning all living beings before it into rolling fire. On the ground, warriors roared and danced wildly, steel blades slashing, trampling flesh and white bones amidst the tide of demons.

Beneath the Wall of Valyria, it was already a bloody and rancid meat grinder.

"Everyone, sonic blast!" Knight Bartoli's short hair danced wildly in the wind, her powerful voice reaching the ears of every dragon knight.

Buzz, buzz, buzz,

An invisible sonic wave vibrated the air, rolling rapidly like ripples in water. All the bat-winged dragons simultaneously vibrated their antennae at this moment, emitting invisible sound waves, sweeping across the demons in front of them and knocking dozens or hundreds of demons out of the sky.

One by one, low-level demons shrieked, flapping their wings wildly, trying to stabilize themselves, their eyes mixed with destruction and chaos showing panic.

Bartoli, piloting the dragon leader Swiftshadow, sped through the air. The thick dragon lance in her hand didn't need to be wielded; it only needed to be held tightly between her elbow and abdomen.

Using the dragon's speed, even faster than a giant dragon, she endowed the dragon lance with invincible power and penetrating force, piercing and shattering the unsteady figures in the sky one by one, skewering them on her blood-stained blade.

The dragon knights on both sides roared, forming a triangular assault formation with their leader Bartoli. The dragon lances in their hands, combined with the dragon's impact force, claws, and bites, directly pierced a gap in the demons.

The Dragon Knight of House Targaryen and the Dragon Knight of House Orion, riding the two largest black magic dragons, with bodies stretching two hundred meters, were followed by magic dragons of various scale colors, faithfully performing their duties, guarding the flanks of the dragon knight regiment.

"Dracarys, Balerion!"

"Dracarys, Rhaenys!"

The magic dragon knights waved their longswords and roared loudly.

The enormous magic dragons, in perfect coordination with their knights, roared, opened their mouths full of fangs, and spewed extremely rapid flames that created sharp sonic booms in the air, landing on the demons trying to pounce from the sides.

The scorching heatwave swept through, and the magic dragon's furious flames directly burned some of the weaker demons to ashes. Even the shadow demons in the shadows seemed unable to escape the mortal flames of the magic dragon, turning into black smoke and screaming as they were reduced to ashes.

Several mid-level demons mixed among the low-level demons had the layer of black smoke on their bodies, like death energy, ignited by the dragon flames and quickly consumed, but it avoided the first wave of damage from the dragon flames.

This allowed several mid-level demons to break through the magic dragon's flames and pounce on the knights who were firmly bound to the dragon's back.

"Weak mortals, this will be a massacre," the mid-level demons howled in the demonic tongue, their lower limbs' sharp claws piercing firmly into the magic dragon's back, their left claws twisting the magic dragon knight's head, and their right claws stabbing towards the knight's heart.

"Augh,"

The magic dragon's back was pierced by the claws, and it let out a painful roar. Its stable flight began to sway, and the magic dragon wanted to throw the demons off.

But neither the knight nor the demon could be easily thrown off. They had no time to care about the magic dragon beneath them. The cold glint of claws and blades was enough to determine victory or defeat in an instant.

The leather armor worn by the magic dragon knight was like a fragile piece of paper in front of the mid-level demon's claws and teeth, easily pierced by the demon's claws, crushing the magic dragon knight's heart.

But the magic dragon knight knew his own strength. He was difficult to resist in front of this demon, powerful enough to avoid damage from dragon flames, so he gave up defense from the beginning.

The Valyrian steel sword in his hand met the oncoming demon at the first moment, simultaneously piercing the demon's tough body defense, comparable to the oxhide used to make shields.

The blade pierced the heart, exchanging the life of a mortal for the life of these fiends.

"In the name of bronze and fire, I have done everything I can in this battle..." Blood foam overflowed from the Targaryen dragon king family knight's facial features. He used his last bit of strength to send the Valyrian steel sword forward.

Bang,

The knight's bravery made the injured demon even more furious. Its heart, constructed differently from ordinary creatures, was not fatally wounded. It shrieked and crushed the knight's head.

Then, it took out the knight's bloody heart and swallowed it raw into its mouth.

"Burn it, Dracarys!"

A magic dragon flew past from the sky, spitting out flames at the knight's command, engulfing the demon and the magic dragon together in raging fire.

The demon and the magic dragon both let out painful roars as they were roasted in the flames, and then fell together into the sea.

Demons fell in batches, and knights decreased one by one, blood for blood, bone for bone.

Boom, the wildly dancing heavy hammer struck forward with fierce and tyrannical momentum. The light on the giant hammer shone, as if blazing white lightning and lightning were leaping.

Dozens of demons that rushed up were swept away by Regennis's heavy hammer. The bones of the demons that came into contact with the heavy hammer were directly shattered and cracked by this unparalleled force. The bodies that flew out carried the aftershocks of power, shaking all the surrounding demons away.

Regennis remained calm in the battle, but his fierce aura made the demons that pounced on him feel terrified.

The heavy hammer in his hand was not only incredibly powerful, but each time the weapon's claws and the heavy hammer made contact, it was accompanied by mental shocks and spiritual blows, as if whipping the demons' souls, making it difficult for these demons to resist.

Even mid-level demons couldn't withstand a single round in front of this fierce legion battle.

The power of heart energy originated from the influence and inspiration of the ancestral red dragon, but in everyone's hands, it would bloom with different power depending on the individual's spiritual will.

The blessing from the dragon blood and the power of heart energy made this warrior almost unstoppable on the battlefield.

The blazing white light almost shone through from the legion commander's eyes, making his aura even higher.

"Repent, you bastards!"

Gilenis dodged the heavy club strike of a tall giant bull demon by sidestepping, and kicked out with his left leg. The powerful force actually directly broke the joints on the giant bull demon's thick, tree-like legs, and its body fell to the side.

Bang, Gilenis's heavy hammer fell immediately, smashing the giant bull demon's entire face into pieces.

He waved his heavy hammer and strode forward, leading the legion warriors to charge forward, attracting more and more demons, which significantly weakened the demons' offensive against the city wall, alleviating the pressure on the city defense and giving many casters time to rest.

Boom,

Dragonborn wolf Saha spat out a ball of fire from his mouth, smashing it into the demon群zhong. The raging fireball, like a mage's spell, exploded directly in the demon群zhong, blasting more than a dozen demons directly into pieces, with foul-smelling blood and severed limbs flying everywhere.

"Stick close to me, don't fall behind," the dragonborn werewolf roared loudly, his mouth emitting green smoke.

The dragonborn bloodline gave Saha the power of a dragon vein sorcerer, not only obtaining powerful spells like dragon breath, but also receiving the power gift of the fireball spell awakened by the ancestral red dragon in his infancy.

This gave the werewolf, who was already a powerful warrior, more offensive options on the battlefield. Moreover, bloodline sorcerers are different from casters. These sorcerers don't need to cast spells at all, which also means that this werewolf can unleash a spell bombardment on the enemy while wielding the heavy sword in his hand to attack.

Under the leadership of these two most powerful warriors, the Dragon Legion's warriors actually began to go against the tide on the only passage of Valyrian Avenue, like a stubborn rock breaking through the water, and began to attract the attention of most of the demons.

Many demons that rushed past these warriors no longer targeted the mountain-like city wall, but turned around to kill these warriors who dared to actively attack the demons.

Thus, the warriors of the Dragon Legion also began to suffer casualties.

Two Titan Demon Pythons were on the flanks of the legion, their steel-like scales enough to resist most of the demons' claws and weapons. Their huge bodies and strength were the strongest weapons. Each time their tails whipped and their bodies rolled, they could sweep away and crush more than a dozen demons.

Demons that tasted bad would be cut into pieces by the two demon pythons' hook-like fangs and then spat out. Demons that tasted good would be directly devoured by the two demon pythons to replenish their consumed stamina and strength.

But under the attack of more and more demons, increasingly deep marks began to appear on the scales of these two Titan Demon Pythons.

"These useless things are really unusable,"

On the hills across the strait, unlike other places where demons stretched as far as the eye could see, there were few demons here. Only a sparse hundred or so high-level demons were scattered around.

Because the Great Demon Sacreus stood here, the aura of chaos, violence, and power made the low-level and mid-level demons dare not approach this place at all.

From the outside, it was completely difficult to distinguish the race of this Great Demon Sacreus.

The inverted triangle-shaped goat head was dark black. On both sides of the cheeks under the huge horns, there were winding barbs and small sharp horns. Dozens of curved fangs protruded outward from the irregular mouth.

The huge fleshy wings had dozens of eyes of various sizes blinking, as if the wings had their own lives. Scale armor like scimitars grew on the wing corners of the fleshy wings.

The claws were comparable to those of a giant dragon, but the lower limbs were a pair of bull hooves. The muscles all over the body were full and knotted, making people think of the word "power" as soon as they saw it.

Innate purple evil fire fluttered in the mane on the demon's back, looking like a layer of purple smoke.

A powerful aura bloomed from this Great Demon's body. This was the aura inherent in powerful creatures, making the surrounding low-level demons not even have the courage to look at this place.

Even these high-level demons, including Balor Flame Demons and Six-Armed Snake Demons, would feel that the other party's body was incomparably tall when they saw this Great Demon.

Their chaotic minds were heavy, as if they were facing a mountain, and they were burdened with heavy shackles and fetters.

This was the suppression of momentum, making these demons, whose strength could not compare with the Great Demon, believe from the bottom of their hearts that they appeared incomparably small in front of the other party.

A Mind Flayer cautiously said: "Lord Sacreus, those are dragon warriors, possessing the bloodline of giant dragons, more powerful than low-level demons, and those warriors who stole the blood of great demons also have a higher bloodline than low-level demons,"

The Great Demon Sacreus's inverted triangle-shaped head revealed an appreciative look in its small eyes. He looked at this high-level Mind Flayer who wanted to perform well and chuckled in a low voice: "Hehe, not bad, you are very smart. Come here, tell me, your name."

The high-level Mind Flayer was overjoyed. If he could gain the appreciation of the powerful Great Demon and be rewarded with some power, he might be able to promote his level.

So he lowered his head and walked over, opening his mouth to say: "Lord Sacreus, I..."

Pa,

The Great Demon's claws covered the Mind Flayer's head, and then directly crushed the other party's head, leaving the unfinished words forever in his mouth.

"Hehehe, in this world, you are the smartest. Could it be that I can't see it?" Sacreus's small eyes revealed a joyful look.

He stretched out his tongue covered with barbs and licked the juice on his claws, squinting his eyes.

"Go, get rid of these annoying guys, bring back their souls intact, I want these brave warriors to become my servants,"

"Then destroy the last civilization in this world and let this world become my hatchery."

"Yes, Lord Sacreus."

Berserker Demons, Six-Armed Snake Demons, Balor Flame Demons, Hell Demons, one high-level demon after another, received the Great Demon's orders and began to join the battlefield.

And the Great Demon Sacreus suddenly turned his head. In this powerful demon's perception, in the distance of this world, in the direction of the passage where he had once descended, a powerful aura was suddenly descending, as if another powerful demon lord was about to cross over from another plane.

This aura was so conspicuous that those auras that he also perceived, different from demons, seemed somewhat insignificant.

"That is, a giant dragon?"

……

The former land of Asshai was a city in this world where magic flourished. For countless years, the magical power of this place has never disappeared. The Red Priestess Nalia spent her childhood here.

It is said that the rivers here always flow with green-like water, and countless poisonous gases and sulfur are in the rivers, so that the people in this city, although living by the water, still need to buy water and food from other cities.

And the Shadow Lands of Asshai are next to the city of Asshai. An ancient river—the Ash River—flows out of the Shadow Lands and into the sea.

The two banks of the Ash River have high cliffs, and the rock walls are close together, so the river water can only flow in the shadows, and occasionally it can bathe in the sunshine when the sun is shining brightly.

The cliffs are dotted with caves. According to the stories told by the Shadowbinders who have been to the Shadow Lands, there are devils, dragons, and even more terrible creatures nesting here.

The deeper you go into the Shadow Lands, the more distorted and terrifying the creatures here become.

And in a river valley in the mountains, there is a ruined city called Stygai, surrounded by ghost grass, which is taller than a person sitting on a horse.

But in the past, the silent city ruins quietly vibrated.

Countless ghost grasses made rustling sounds in the vibration, like ghosts howling softly.

Boom, invisible vibrations spread in the ruined city, causing buildings that still stood after a long time to collapse one after another.

A huge floating island shuttled from the void, and its projection suddenly appeared above the city ruins.
