Chapter 669 The Dragon’s Disrespect
Chapter 669 The Dragon’s Disrespect
?[Domination: Palace of Chains]
Thousands of massive black chains burst from the ground, akin to hell chains but dragging people and monsters instead. As Arad flew back, he could count demons, elves, humans, strange beings he had never seen before, and even other devils and some dragons, all chained and getting pulled upward.
“This is your end, dragon!” Alony screamed, blood dripping from his disintegrating skin, “Full release,”
The dragons unleashed their breaths, and the demons released their curses. The humans all used their powers, casting fire, lightning, acid, and even holy spells.
Arad dodged a dragon’s lightning breath by teleporting away only to get drowned in a back dragon’s acidic breath, then get boiled as a fire dragon breathed on the acid, followed by a white dragon that froze him, to be struck with lightning once again.
Time froze as a mage unleased the ninth-tier spell [Time stop] and the other over fifty wizards cast [Meteor fall], another ninth-tier spell. That resulted in the frozen and zapped Arad getting buried beneath a rain of over fifty meteors exploding above his head before time could even move.
SWOSH! Alony flew as fast as he could, assisted by tens of enchantments from the souls he had bound with his curses. From nowhere, he pulled a long black sword, “Edge of Night, Harp!” He blitzed past Arad, cutting him in two with one swing.
“The blade that kills Medusa, that soul inside you, is related to her, right?” He smiled, swinging again, and cutting Arad into four pieces.
Arad’s body burst into a spark of fire, expanding as a flash as he transformed into his draconic form.
Alony flew away from him, “Handle him for me!” He shouted, and the massive dragons flew toward Arad. They ranged from adults all the way to a black wyrm.
FLAP! Arad flapped his wings, flying toward the adult red dragon, swinging a claw. The dragon tried to dodge, but Arad easily cleaved his left wing and smacked him toward the ground with a tail strike.
SWOSH! The black wyrm rushed in, striking Arad’s back with his acidic claw, cutting him open and sending him flying toward the ground.
Before hitting the ground, Arad’s wound completely healed as the air around him pulsed purple.
“What are you doing?” Alony stared toward Arad as the devils and dragons rushed him. “Wizard, blast him once more. I don’t know how is he regenerating,”
“Lord Alony,” A wizard said, pointing his staff down, “That dragon is a vampire and a werewolf. He’s regenerating with blood.”
“That can’t be right,” Alony sighed, “He would’ve already run out of blood by now,”
“He’s using his own blood,” The wizard replied, “Those bones of his are producing blood for him to heal with, and for food, he’s eating hell itself.” 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝙚𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Alony gasped, seeing the air around Arad pulse purple once again before he fully healed. “Wait…eating hell?” He remembered how dragons can digest pretty much anything.
“We need to finish him with one large attack,” Alony growled.
“That attack must at least burn all of his bones, spine, and brain. Otherwise, he might regenerate back up,” A wizard stated.
“No, he won’t die even if we evaporated him fully,” A druid said, “We’re fighting a Gemini clone, not the real body. He’ll regenerate infinitely as long as the true body still eats and generates blood for him to heal,”
Alony turned, “Fuck!” He cried. ^To beat this thing, I need to find the one that ran away to search for that paladin?!^
“When will Gemini run out?” Alony cried.
“I don’t know,” He replied, “I can’t sense his link to the stars,”
“Keep him busy! I’ll go find the true body and summon you back there,” Alony flew away to chase Arad’s true body. “To think you tricked me, bastard.”
As he flew, Alony saw an old man appearing in front of him. He looked rough, wearing what only could be described as a bandit outfit, and had a large black beard and a smile on his face.
Not having enough time to care, Alony swung his sword at the man, “Get out of the way,”
SWOSH! The man dodged the swing and smacked Alony in the face, sending him back. “Look back!”
Alony turned, seeing Arad sitting on the ground in his draconic form, puking a flood of blood. [Blood Expansion: Devoring flood of spawns]
CRACK! The man kicked Alony and sent him flying even faster toward Arad, “Our lord wants your blood!” He smiled.
The blood flooded the ground, killing and absorbing sinners and low-rank devils that couldn’t fly away, turning them into spawns for Arad to use. They were temporary and would revert back to sinners and devils upon dying once as hell would retake them, but they were good pawns to fight Alony’s massive army.
As the spawns slowly overrun the place, Arad closed his mouth, fur growing on his body as he growled, the muscles on his legs and arms growing thicker as his claws extended forward, his grows shifting to howels.
BAM! With one leap, he blasted through an adult blue dragon, flying straight toward Alony with a lightning-fast claw swing.
Alony dodged at the last moment, “Just what are you?” He growled, “How many abilities do you have?”
Arad didn’t bother to reply, chaining a second swing toward Alony.
Alony swung his hand, pushing Arad back with his chains. ^I never faced such a stubborn opponent. Where was he hiding in the past decades and centers? He never made a move until so I don’t have any information about him.^

Deep into an unknown crevice of hell, Lydia fell face-first to the ground, bleeding as her consciousness quickly faded. She tried to move or stand, but her body refused, only letting out faint sparks of holy magic, attracting hordes of devils and sinners toward her.
Thud! A woman stood beside her, staring down with a grin, “Even at death’s door you still try to pull holy magic from Amaterasu. Don’t you ever get enough,”
As Lydia looked aside, she could only see two bare feet with black toenail polish.
“You’re trying to pull even more, can’t you hear me?” She looked down, “Ah! Your ears are busted. Think I’m a devil standing beside you, how rude,” She giggled.
As devils and sinners looked toward Lydia, they froze in place, seeing the woman standing beside them. None of them dared to move, “Do you know what’s the difference between curses and holy magic?” The woman squatted beside her, and Lydia could see her golden hair glowing with holy magic.
“Think of it as a gift from your senior. They are the same. Do with that knowledge whatever you like,” The woman stood and waved her hand around Lydia, causing her to disappear.
The devils gasped as the woman stared at them, “What are you looking at?” She smiled.
All of the devils and sinners rushed and bowed before her, “Nothing, lady of hell. We sensed holy magic and came to check the place, that’s all,”
“I see,” The woman walked past them and approached the strongest one, “How did she look to you?”
“A devote Amaterasu followed,” He replied, “A creed as strong as steel and a will that’s even harder, reminds me of the paladins of the god’s war. Indomitable spirit,”
“A high praise from the baron of Nessus. As a devil lord, what do you think of my small gift?” She giggled, looking back to where Lydia was.
“I can’t have a say. As her, you once were a paladin to Amaterasu. If I may say,” He looked at the blond woman, “She might think of it as a curse,”
“Really?” The woman walked away, “My holy magic is akin to that of Amaterasu, and I offer curses as well. Will she notice,”
“She will,” He replied, looking at the woman, “Lord of the nine hells, Asmodeus. Why shift her magic source to you?”
“That’s not your business,” She smiled, flying away.

In Dis Arad flew across the desolate, molten lands scanning the place, looking everywhere and trying to sense any holy magic. ^If she isn’t here, I might need to search other layers,^ Arad growled, ^How big is the place?^
But as he flew away, he sensed a spark of holy magic in the distance, pulsing between the mountains. He quickly turned and teleported toward her, finding Lydia unconscious at a cliffside. Her arm, lower jaw, and leg had regenerated.
He shifted back into his humanoid form and landed beside her, “Jack would have killed me if I didn’t find you,” He lifted her up and sucked her into his stomach as he did to Roberta and her mother.

Back to Alony and Arad’s clone’s fight, the devil was slowly trying to get the upper hand by having his wizard stay in the backlines and blast the spawns with AOE ninth-tier spells like [Meteor fall] And [Lightning Storm]
Arad finally returned, and Alony growled, “Don’t tell me? She fell in this layer?” He growled, “Don’t let them merge!”
