Chapter 326: Chapter 78: Red and Black (Part 2)
"Damn you, watch me twist off your dragon head!"
From the rear of the demon army, seated on a towering bone throne tens of meters high, the magma demon let out a roar, its massive lava hand slamming down on the armrest of the throne, standing tall and revealing its enormous body over twenty meters in height.
Its magma wings, spanning over fifty meters wide, unfurled and with a beat, the magma demon transformed into a radiant deep red light, charging towards the giant Black Dragon in the high sky of the battlefield.
Udi watched the distant approaching radiant red light, the image of the adversary reflected in his brown-yellow vertical pupils.
A Balrog Flame Demon.
And a Balrog Flame Demon that’s reached Legendary Second Tier!
At the same tier, Balrog Flame Demons are powerful abyssal creatures capable of battling dragons, possessing mighty physiques and immense strength... It’s no wonder, upon seeing Udi’s exceptionally abnormal dragon form, it dared to roar and take the initiative to attack.
At this moment, the Balrog Flame Demon "Yaro" had a simple thought.
Either this Black Dragon is an Abnormal Dragon, hence its colossal dragon body vastly exceeds that of a Legendary Black Dragon, or it’s a powerful High Tier Legendary Ancient Black Dragon, who sealed its own power to enter the Ghost Race Plane.
These are the only possibilities.
Regardless of the situation, Yaro felt an unconcealed joy.
Yes, joy. Other than the initial anger at the Black Dragon attacking the demon army, it quickly felt joyful, overwhelming the anger of its demon army being raided.
The reason for this is..... Yaro is a battle maniac.
And the long-standing tacit agreement in war had made Yaro feel extremely restless, longing to rush out and engage those Ghost Kings in a grand battle, but the lord of Black Smoke City, Yaro’s master, did not allow it.
Now with Udi’s arrival, breaking the war’s stalemate and rhythm, Yaro saw a chance to go on the offensive, thus feeling an ecstatic joy.
Watching the increasingly aggressive approaching Balrog Flame Demon, Udi realized its intentions and grinned, showing a ferocious smile,
"Well, what a coincidence, I also like to clash head-on."
The wide Dragon Wings flapped, various acceleration spells were cast upon the dragon body, the magic power and spiritual energy surged forth, adding two layers of buffs to the colossal Black Dragon, and it accelerated wildly, transforming into a seemingly burning black light.
Under the gaze of countless living beings, the black light and red light became faster and faster, then collided with a loud bang, exploding into a brilliant giant energy mushroom cloud, the energy ripples quickly spreading, reaching thousands of meters below, turning into a storm capable of cutting steel. In just an instant, merely the aftershock carried away tens of thousands of Ghost Race and demons.
As the mushroom cloud dispersed, the massive Black Dragon and the towering magma demon engaged in fierce and frenzied combat.
Dragon Claws and lava iron fists clashed, Dragon Wings and magma wings hacked at each other, the thick Dragon Tail whipped against the relatively slender demon tail, unleashing pure brute force combined with deep ocean-like energy, creating shockwaves akin to tidal waves.
The colossal Black Dragon and magma demon fought from high in the sky down to the armies below, both giant beasts battling bloodily, unintentionally crushing large groups of warriors.
.....
"....What is happening?"
In the deep rear of the Ghost Race, the Green Ghost King was somewhat dumbfounded watching the Black Dragon enter and fight the Balrog Flame Demon.
Though it had an alliance agreement with this Black Dragon, the details weren’t supposed to be like this, right?
Wasn’t it supposed to quietly hide while Black Smoke City demons were unaware of the Black Dragon, then seize the chance to kill several Legendary Demons, dealing a blow to Black Smoke City?
Contrasting the Green Ghost King’s bewilderment, the nearly two-meter tall, heavily muscled Red Ghost King, upon seeing the melee between the Black Dragon and magma demon, wished it could rush forward to join the frenzied battle.
Unlike the Green Ghost race with powerful healing and vine growth abilities, the Red Ghost race’s talent was an extremely dense body and terrifying colossal strength.
Although the Red Ghost King is only a bit over two meters tall, once it bursts with power, merely its brute force is enough to crumble a mountain hundreds of feet tall, while its extremely dense body grants it formidable defense against physical attacks.
Further, the Red Ghost race’s skin has strong resistance to energy attacks.
Their only weakness is in the soul aspect, their aggressive nature makes them more susceptible to illusion magic and soul attacks than other ghostmen, more easily manipulated or controlled.
The other three Ghost Kings, the slender Purple Demon Ghost King, the hundred-meter tall white-skinned giant-like White Ghost King, and the three-meter tall Frost Ghost King radiating intense cold all over, gathered with the Red Ghost King and Green Ghost King, discussing how to handle this sudden situation.
The Green Ghost King Medici unhesitantly revealed the information about the Black Dragon to the others, making the remaining four Ghost Kings’ eyes gleam, seeing it as a great opportunity.
In response, the five Ghost Kings reached a unified decision.
To take this great opportunity to fiercely bite a chunk off the Black Smoke City demons, weakening their power.
As the five Ghost Kings appeared on the battlefield, even the Legendary Demons from Black Smoke City couldn’t sit still and rushed up.
Black Smoke City brought dozens of Legendary Demons, but most were Tier One, only four reached Tier Two, this being why Black Smoke City is suppressed in high-end combat strength.
The five Ghost Kings are all top Tier Two powerhouses, each possessing unique abilities, but when combined, they are quite formidable.
Three Legendary Tier Two Demons appeared on the battlefield, confronting the five Ghost Kings, one Abyssal Three-headed Dog even wanted to question the Ghost Kings why, but a hundred-meter ice spike emerging from the ground directly attacked it, forcing the Abyssal Three-headed Dog to awkwardly dodge, holding back its unspoken words.
Battle erupted in an instant, the five Ghost Kings coordinating to make the three Demon Commanders suffer bitterly, in desperation, the Demon Commanders could only anxiously send messages to the Balrog Flame Demon Commander still in a melee with the Black Dragon, all while getting beaten.
The three Demon Commanders hail from extraordinary races, yet their strength still falls short of the five Ghost Kings, however....
At long last, after enduring strikes, the Abyssal Three-headed Dog Commander couldn’t hold back anymore, its body swiftly adorned with a suit of blood-red armor.
As the blood-red armor appeared, the Abyssal Three-headed Dog Commander’s aura soared, waves of blood-colored energy emerging from the armor, wrapping around the Three-headed Dog, forming an energy armor enveloping its entire body.
The thick vines, green-light spears, and various frost attacks were all blocked by this layer of energy armor.
The Abyssal Three-headed Dog Commander was using Legendary Equipment!
Living beings ascended to legendary status by comprehending Legendary Traits, experiencing energy and body transformations, and extraordinary equipment upgrading to Legendary Level has a similar essence.
Legendary Traits are born, material transformation occurs, and spiritual essence emerges, making it a standard Legendary Equipment.
That’s why Legendary Equipment is even rarer than Legendary powerhouses, most Tier One Legendary powerhouses don’t even have one piece of Legendary Equipment.
However, the three Demon Commanders are Tier Two Legendary powerhouses, possessing a piece of Legendary Equipment is quite normal.
With the Abyssal Three-headed Dog Commander’s aura surging, the other two Demon Commanders, the Four-armed Blade Demon and the Horned Demon, both revealed their Legendary Equipment.
The Blade Demon Commander wielded a blade attached to its arm, emanating a sharpness so intense it chilled the soul.
The Horned Demon Commander’s equipment was an arm armor that granted it terrifying strength and formidable defensive capabilities.
After using their Legendary Equipment, the three Demon Commanders barely held off the Ghost Kings’ joint attack, but judging from their situation, they wouldn’t last long, the five Ghost Kings had remarkable synergy.
Meanwhile, the magma giant in a frenzied melee with the Black Dragon grumbled in frustration.
Yaro looked at the Black Dragon with a regretful yet cruel smile, "Black Dragon, I too wish to fight you wholeheartedly, but those weaklings can’t hold, so no choice is left."
A pair of red metal claws appeared in Yaro’s hands, amplifying its aura wildly.
