Chapter 486: A Battle To Death
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the moment when the footsteps sounded, the fearless half-dragon beings all dropped to their knees and bowed their heads. They waited for the arrival of their masters.
A half-dragon emerged from the stone gate of the spire. The half-dragon possessed a fiery red dragon head and had miniature dragon wings on its back.
It held no weapons in its hands, but the metallic sheen reflecting from its sharp claws was enough for it to fight with.
As it stood at the entrance of the stone gate, the surrounding space began to distort, as if a plastic sheet was being crushed under a heavy burden.
Everyone’s breathing became rapid, and their hearts raced.
The Lords recalled their previous encounters with the creature, and their legs went weak. If not for the support of their comrades, they might have wet their pants in fear.
“Cletos, the Transcendent Dragon Descendant is yours. He is your prey,” said Su Wan.
The Lords turned to look at Su Wan and widened their eyes in disbelief.
Was she going to let Cletos face the Transcendent Dragon Descendant alone?
Although they knew that Su Wan had numerous heroes at her disposal, they couldn’t help but feel that this hero wasn’t being cherished as he should be.
This was a top-tier hero capable of single-handedly facing thousands of enemies! And now, Su Wan was letting this hero go into battle alone.
The Lords felt indignant.
The Lords were unaware of Cletos’ need to hunt monsters to upgrade his level. They only saw Su Wan instruct him to fight alone but didn’t know the reason behind it.
The difference in combat power was like heaven and earth.
The Lords didn’t even doubt that Cletos would be more than enough for the task. They had seen his capability before.
If it were anyone else, they couldn’t fight against a Transcendent Dragon Descendant no matter how much they tried.
The one giving the command was Su Wan. She was the strongest Lord present. The one who personally beheaded a god in front of millions of viewers! She was the slayer of gods.
Cletos looked at the Transcendent Dragon Descendant in front of him. He tightened his grip on the war hammer. His aura was fierce, and his eyes flickered with an infinite radiance.
He had been waiting for this day for far too long. His soul was a gift from the Lord. Only by leveling up and becoming stronger could he become the sharpest weapon in the Lord’s arsenal.
Cletos let out a low roar, and a dark and raging energy burst forth.
The energy erupted in all directions. It was impactful enough to shatter rocks. The air became murky, and the light dimmed suddenly.
The ferocious dark energy quickly condensed into ravens with a corrupt aura. Eerie screams echoed.
The half-dragons felt relieved. Their bodies were protected by dragon scales, and the flowing dragon blood gave them a high resistance to magic. The crows couldn’t harm them even if they tried.
Just as the thought arose, a chilling sensation passed through their bodies.
They felt their minds being torn apart by a massive hand. Their faces contorted in pain.
They let out hysterical roars, as if they were enduring the cruelest torture in the world. More black crows surged into their bodies. The half-dragon convulsed uncontrollably, and they felt an intense pain in their minds, devouring them from the inside.
Their thoughts dulled, and their eyes sank into darkness. Over a dozen crows flew out from their bodies amidst piercing screams.
Their fur became glossy, and they exuded a chilling aura that almost froze the air. Detaching from the bodies of the half-dragons, they flapped their wings and flew toward their next target.
[Soul-Devouring Storm: Summons the Soul-Devouring Crows and forms a storm of death that inflicts massive damage to the enemy’s souls. After devouring the enemy’s souls, the Soul-Devouring Crows continue to exist and grow stronger.]
This was the most effective AoE skill!
The death of the first half-dragons was a turning point. Three thousand Soul-Devouring Crows instantly stirred up a storm of death. The half-dragon troops were slaughtered in an instant.
The Transcendent Dragon Descendant’s face darkened.
“Such insignificant tricks, and yet you dare to intrude upon our sacred land!” He stared fixedly at the hero who had caused the storm.
The moment his words fell, everyone’s hearts pounded as if an ancient beast had appeared. The oppressive aura pervading the heavens and earth made the air feel like liquid mercury.
The energy quickly covered the battlefield. The Soul-Devouring Crows, who were shamelessly devouring the half-dragon monsters’ souls, were like birds dropped in honey. They were stuck. They couldn’t fly, no matter how much they flapped their wings.
The Transcendent Dragon Descendant raised his head. He watched with disdain and hatred. The sharp claws rubbed against each other, and the frenzied Soul-Devouring Crows shattered like glass. They turned into pure energy.
The Lords were suddenly filled with anxiety. They had thought the hero would turn the tide with the Crow Storm, but they didn’t expect such a powerful move to be effortlessly destroyed by the Transcendent Dragon Descendant.
Cletos felt the contempt from the Transcendent Dragon Descendant, and his eyes narrowed into slits. The killing intent that gathered around him caused ripples in space.
Energy surged out of his body and condensed into a phantom outside his physical form. The emitted aura immediately made people perceive the origin of the phantom— the soul!
Several Lords were perturbed. They couldn’t understand how Cletos’ soul suddenly appeared on the surface of his body. The soul suddenly ignited as though doused in gasoline.
The gloomy soul burned with a deep blue flame. They could even see black smoke rising from the flame’s tail.
The hero was burning his own soul!
The Lords widened their eyes in disbelief..
