NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 694 - 688: The First Appearance of the Death Demon
Chapter 694: Chapter 688: The First Appearance of the Death Demon
“Yes,” the End Emperor Dragon hesitated for a moment before adding, “But right now I am too weak and need the Pure Blood of Doom to suppress the Seven Definite Dead Demon. Until it is completely vanquished, I will not waste any bit of my strength.”
Upon hearing this, Rosalind Louise immediately looked toward David Jones.
“Sweet nothings!”
Lilith Hoyle’s pupils contracted as she tested him, saying, “Stop pretending, the malice hidden in your heart cannot fool me.”
“Malice?” David Jones and Rosalind Louise exchanged astonished glances, subconsciously retreating behind their teacher.
“What malice?” the End Emperor Dragon’s eyes widened.
“Could it be that you plan to break the covenant left by Saint Behemoth?”
“Three legs, Sky Fire Purify the World,” Lilith Hoyle said coldly.
If it had been the End Emperor Dragon in its prime, she would have had to resort to deceitful tactics, but now, with the End Emperor Dragon still sealed and its strength reduced to less than one percent, she could go into battle without her main force.
Boom!
Above Lilith Hoyle, the brilliant divine bird burst into a dazzling ring of fire, and the continuous thunderous roars slightly changed the End Emperor Dragon’s expression.
“Stop it, if the Six Paths Dragon Locking Circle is damaged, the will of the Seven Definite Dead Demon will immediately break through the seal!”
Upon hearing this, the faces of David Jones and the others changed color. They did not want to confront a terrifying Mysterious Beast capable of inflicting instant severe damage on a Class IX Immortal.
However, Lilith Hoyle ignored the End Emperor Dragon’s warning, her body surged with unparalleled legendary power, connecting to the Three-legged Red Crow and bringing the temperature of the Great Day Sky Fire to a terrifyingly extreme level in an instant.
The intense blaze became the only existence between heaven and earth.
Seeing this, Grau hurriedly spread its Dragon Wings to shelter its teammates.
The next second, under David Jones’s astoundingly shocked eyes, the Sky Fire descended, and the all-encompassing flames instantly enveloped the entire sealed area.
The rampant shockwave not only swept across the Lava River, stirring up huge swathes of lava, but also caused the sturdy Dragon Locking Chains to tremble nonstop, showing deadly fissures.
“Stop now, it’s too late if you wait any longer!” the End Emperor Dragon’s eyes rolled back as it issued a pained howl.
The stone sculpture of the Amber Dragon also crumbled at this moment, revealing a ferocious Bone Dragon with black bones all over its body, its eye sockets bursting with blood-red brilliance.
Sensing the familiar wave of Mystery Power, David Jones immediately activated the Illusion-Piercing Eye.
“Pet Name”: Death Mystery Dragon
“Pet Type”: Death Series
“Species Level”: Calamity (Legend Emperor)
“Grade”: Class VII Upper-Level
“Species Skill”: Dying Star, Death Sound, Death Madness Attack, Undead Infection
“Pet Profile”: Under the continuous erosion of the Seven Definite Dead Demon’s mystified power, the Amber Dragon’s fiery carapace turned into black bone, and its titanium crystal claws tainted with the aura of death, significantly boosting its strength and transforming it into a terrifying dragon spreading despair and agony.
“Class VII Calamity!!!”
David Jones’s pupils suddenly contracted, his gaze unconsciously shifting toward the area where the smoke from the End Emperor Dragon lingered.
“Of course, Grau knew nothing good would come from adventuring with Lilith!” Grau the Mysterious Dragon couldn’t help but sigh, turning his head towards David Jones to earnestly say,
“Junior, shall we make a run for it ahead of time?”
David Jones thought to himself, “Yes.”
He was not about to risk it for the Dragon Blood of Doom and the Calamity Mystery Crystal. After all, with two or three years of steady cultivation, he could break through to Epic.
“Alright, then let’s go straight away. Lilith has many survival tricks up her sleeve, and we need not worry about her.”
Grau quickly grabbed David Jones and Rosalind Louise, but then its movement slightly paused, and it put them back down.
“It looks like we can’t escape for the time being. You two take the antidote and stay put for now.”
Having said that, Grau handed David Jones an upgraded version of the Red Earth Elixir and an antidote, exhausting a great amount of Arcane Force to release the spatially segregated Deadly Hell environment. His Dragon Tail swiftly lashed out into the void behind him.
“Boom!”
The colorful Dragon Tail collided with the pitch-black withered Dragon Claw, invisible black lightning tearing through space.
“Even a mere Overlord dares to provoke the Emperor? You’re a dead man, Grau says!”
Grau suddenly turned around, looking confidently at the Death Mystery Dragon that he had flung back with his tail into the bed of the Lava River in the distance.
A gap of one whole class was enough to let him slaughter this hard-headed Mysterious Beast; now he wanted to see whether he could kill it faster or if the Calamity Mysterious Beast’s recovery speed was quicker.
On the other side, Lilith Hoyle was confronting the End Emperor Dragon.
“How did you find out? Don’t mention any nonsensical malice!” the End Emperor Dragon teased with a twisted grin.
“A Class VII lower-level Amber Dragon mystified to death, yet the weaker Trainer survived,” Lilith Hoyle said impatiently, dismissing the thought.
“Is that all?”
The End Emperor Dragon – no, it should be the Seven Definite Dead Demon – tilted its head, revealing a chilling smile.
“A boring attempt to cover up. When you return to my Divine Zone, all secrets will be laid bare before me.”
Lilith Hoyle’s gaze turned fierce as she calmed the Heritage Stone in her personal space that was trembling wildly in warning.
“With just you? Without the Pure Blood of Doom to undo the Six Paths Dragon Locking Circle, how much of your strength can you exert?” she retorted.
“The notions of ants!” the Seven Definite Dead Demon shook its head in waning interest, revealing two droplets of Pure Blood of Doom on its crimson claws that abruptly made Lilith Hoyle’s pupils dilate.
“Crack! Crack!”
As the two drops of Pure Blood of Doom fell, two chains of the Dragon Locking Chain entwining the Seven Definite Dead Demon instantly shattered.
The Six Paths Dragon Locking Circle, interlocked in a chain, saw a significant decrease in its power after losing two chains, and the Seven Definite Dead Demon’s strength surged rapidly.
The rising mysterious power of the Demon God shadowed the sun, triggering terrifying anomalies that made the world lose its color at that moment.
As the boiling Lava began to evaporate and disappear when the omnipresent atmosphere of doom touched down, even the Arcane Force that permeated everywhere trembled and annihilated under this fearsome breath.
Although the Seven Definite Dead Demon spoke contemptuously, it did not hesitate to unleash the biggest move it could currently muster, “Death End,” to subdue Lilith Hoyle at the first opportunity.
Sensing that terrifying sense of crisis, Lilith Hoyle’s gaze hardened.
Her intuition told her that just a touch of the breath of doom would likely mean she wouldn’t even get the chance to summon her main Pet and activate her Innate Talent before being instantly killed.
Even the body of Legend and the Legend Realm couldn’t resist the encroachment of this essence of death.
Such was the power of the Seven Definite Dead Demon; even Legends would struggle to stand against it.
…
Elsewhere, Gees Goldsmith was inspecting the state of the Twelve Cities Heavenly Circle to prevent any issues.
At that moment, a terrifying black light erupted from the earth and pierced the sky, causing even the residents of Waterland City to feel violent shaking.
“What’s going on? An earthquake again?”
Just when the residents thought it was an ordinary earthquake, an alarm that resounded throughout Waterland City suddenly went off.
“The Trainer Guild has detected traces of high-level Mysterious Beasts in the newly discovered ancient relics. All residents, please proceed to the shelters for urgent evacuation. I repeat, Trainer Guild…”
“Has it finally come?”
Ignoring the blaring alarms around him, Gees Goldsmith picked up his phone with a grave expression to issue orders.
“Twelve Cities Heavenly Circle, rise!”
Boom!
As Gees Goldsmith’s voice fell, the citizens of Waterland City headed for the shelters suddenly noticed twelve colossal beastly phantoms appear out of nowhere in the dark sky, stretching from the heavens down to earth.
