Chapter 898 The Black Magma Dragon
Chapter 898 The Black Magma Dragon
"!?" Ella opened her mouth to chant magic, but the black rope silenced her mouth.
"It won't take long. I will soon free you from your suffering." The cloaked man retracted his hand, and the bound holy maiden flew towards him.
"I won't let you do what you want! Light Cutter!" Ariel took her longsword and slashed the cloaked man with a holy magic attack.
*Slash* *Slash*
Dozens of slashes of light sent the cloaked back reflexively, and Steph used the opportunity to free Ella.
"Would you like to play around for a while before the main event? Unfortunately, I don't have the patience. Please handle them, but don't kill them. We can use them to take revenge on the Holy Church." The cloaked man smirked and made a wave of darkness to draw the holy maiden to him.
"Ah!" Ella was running towards Ariel, but a force suddenly pulled her back.
"Holy Arrows!" Ella turned around and extended her hand toward the cloaked man. Hundreds of light arrows emerged from a golden magic circle and rained down on the cloaked man at once, causing a small burst of light explosion.
*Boom* *Thud*
Ella fell to the ground again. She was panting because her magic energy reserve was running low.
"We need to get out of here." Ariel came over. She carried Ella and ran away from the vicinity.
"Miss Ariel!" Steph rushed behind Ariel, blocking the great demon's giant scythe with her longsword.
*Clang* *Bam!*
Steph bounced far away and hit some debris before being stopped by the stone wall. She spat out a mouthful of blood. "Ghak!"
"Steph! How dare you!" Ariel gritted her teeth and rushed towards her last subordinate.
"Heehee... As expected of a descendant of a holy angel. Your holy magic can injure me, unlike that fake holy magic. However, you won't be able to escape because there's no exit!" The cloaked man shouted loudly. He then summoned his dark longsword and shot off like a comet.
"!?" Ariel widened her eyes as her enemy suddenly appeared in front of her.
*Clang* *Boom!* *Shatter*
"Ghak!" Ariel bounced far away and hit the wall. Her holy sword shattered, and the explosion left her injured.
"!!!" Ella was surprised. Ariel was easily defeated by this cloaked man. Was he indeed an Emperor-level? But why was she not affected by the explosion?
"Holy- Uh!" Ella was about to unleash another holy magic attack, but the cloaked man punched her right in her solar plexus. She immediately fainted and fell into the hands of evil.
"I will kill you!" Ariel summoned her golden javelin, about to stab the cloaked man.
"Keep her company." The cloaked man turned around with the holy maiden in his arms.
The great demonic creature suddenly appeared before Ariel and deflected the golden javelin with its huge scythe.
*Clang!*
"Don't get in my way!" Ariel shouted with rage and showered the great demonic creature with many fatal attacks.
Unfortunately, the great demonic creature held the upper hand. He was toying with his opponent.
"!!!" Ariel could see the cloaked man taking Ella to an altar in the city ruins. She tried to go there, but the great demonic creature always got in her way.
Steph was already unconscious, and she was overwhelmed by her opponent. She failed to protect her subordinates, and she also failed to protect the Holy Princess? Whatever it was, she deserved the death penalty.
"Bless me with your divine power! Sacred Limit Break!" Ariel raised her javelin up. She broke her body limit and let her holy magic consume her life at an insane rate.
Golden light enveloped her body, and she received a tremendous power boost. She shot at her opponent in an instant.
"!!!" The great demonic creature was surprised because his opponent suddenly gained a mysterious power. He blocked the golden javelin thrust, but the penetrative force was still intact.
*Swoosh!*
"Ghak!" The great demonic creature was blown backward. The attack pierced his chest and left a large hole there.
He tried to heal his wound, but the holy magic effect prevented him from doing so. Black blood oozed out of his chest as he stared at the holy knight lady with his blood-red eyes.
"..." Ariel pulled her javelin from the great demonic creature's chest and immediately rushed towards Ella. Her tremendous power was only temporary, and she had to get Ella and Steph away from this place before her life was sucked dry.
"Perish under the holy light! Holy Annihilation!" Ariel shot off like a golden comet, aiming for the cloaked man's back.
"I've said it, fake holy magic won't be able to harm me. The side characters need to wait by the side like they should." The cloaked man pointed his finger back.
A black laser beam shot from there pierced Ariel's chest and forced her limit break to deactivate.
"Ghak!" Ariel spat out a mouthful of blood. She held her mid-chest and found she was perforated.
She looked at her hands which were covered in red blood. Her vision started to blur, and she had no remaining strength. Her hair turned white, and her body was aging fast due to the limit break's backlash.
Her holy magic was fake and couldn't eliminate the evil? So, only those with pure blood could defeat this cloaked man?
"Don't stain our holy altar with your dirty blood, swine!" The cloaked man kicked the injured holy knight lady away from the altar.
"Ugh..." Ariel was knocked back a few meters and hit the rubble. She rolled on the ground and stopped after hitting the wall.
"Holy Princess... Please forgive me." Ariel stretched her hand forward. She knew she would die soon but still couldn't save the one she had to protect.
The Goddess of Blessings obviously wouldn't forgive her after her death. Still, she prayed one last time to her Goddess with all the sincerity and hope she had at the end of her consciousness.
She had nothing left, and her struggle was over, but she hoped the Holy Princess could be saved. The calamity monster's resurrection could be stopped.
"Hmph!" The cloaked man obliterated the blood on the altar by burning it with his black flames.
He then made the holy maiden float in the middle of the altar and raised a silver knife.
"I dedicate the blood of a pure bloodline of holy angel to your freedom. Awaken, the legendary dragon of darkness, Mavin! Show the power of the followers of the curse-bearing race to the world! It is time for the world to change eras once again!" The cloaked man shouted up and slashed the holy maiden's wrist.
The fresh blood of pure angelic blood spilled onto the altar. Suddenly, a magic circle of red, black, gold and several other colors appeared.
*Rumble* *Rumble!*
A powerful earthquake shook the ground, and reddish-black lightning rained down on the ruins of the ancient city.
"Hahaha! Get up!" The cloaked man took a few steps back. He would present that holy maiden body for the legendary dragon to devour.
*Boom!*
A gigantic claw poked out from the center of the altar, accidentally knocking the holy maiden aside. A moment later, the ground collapsed, and a magma-black dragon head popped out right under the cloaked man.
"!?" The cloaked man didn't expect the legendary dragon's head to appear underneath, not on the altar. He didn't have time to dodge and entered the legendary dragon's mouth.
*Crunch!*
"Wait, wait, wait! I present the holy maiden, the pure descendant of the holy angel, to you. Not myself!" The cloaked man tried to prevent the jaws full of giant sharp teeth from crushing him.
*Fwoosh!*
The black magma dragon burned the cloaked man with his legendary black flame. He instantly crushed the Emperor-level man like french fries.
"My name is Mavis. I never take what goes in my mouth out. I will use your power to recover some of my lost strength. Be grateful, human." The legendary magma black dragon jumped out of the sealed ground.
"My city has been destroyed. How long has it been since I was sealed? Holy Church, you will pay for it. The almighty lord of Ruvoid Gods will bless us with their curse!" Mavis looked at the shocked demonic creature, then at the two holy knights. Still, her focus immediately fell on the holy maiden.
Mavis grinned widely and bared his big sharp teeth. He then picked that holy maiden with his giant claws.
"Hmph!" A brown dragon-like man suddenly emerged from the hole in the ceiling. He shot down onto the giant magma black dragon's head with a fierce fist.
*Boom!*
Mavis was pressed into the ground and was half buried there, creating cobweb-like cracks from the violent impact.
Elena and the others also came out from the hole in the ceiling. Their journey deep underground was a little fun because it felt like an extreme slide.
However, what greeted them after that was a grim situation. Ella was injured, the two holy knights were almost dead, and there was a demon with a big hole in its chest. On top of that, Gio was facing off against a gigantic fat black dragon with red magma-like hues.
"Ella!" Evelyn was hysterical when she saw Ella's bloody condition. She activated her divine battlesuit and immediately flew down, snatching the injured Ella from the gigantic monster's claws.
"Save the wounded, and catch that demon! Gio, beat that fat dragon!" Elena stretched out her hand, conveying her order firmly.
"Roger!"
Vanessa, Yuuki, Lynn, and Xentia rushed to save the two injured holy knight ladies. However, Sylvia went to capture the injured demon.
"You're not from my continent's underworld. Let's interrogate you later. Hmm? Looks like you received heavy backlash and fatal injuries? Well, whataver, don't die before we extract information from you." Sylvia took out a gun and shot a net of black energy at the demon.
She caught her target quickly and effortlessly, then carried away that big demon like a garbage sack.
