Chapter 457: 457: A little something, but not much
Orson waved his hand casually, and his clones mimicked the same movement almost simultaneously.
The Wind Element Goddess's ethereal voice rang out, a series of seven melodious calls that echoed through the air.
Though the goddess' chants were gentle at first, there was something oddly unsettling about them. The once soft breeze became unnervingly turbulent.
In just a few seconds, seven azure streaks of light shot straight toward the Ghost King's palace!
Ghost King appeared startled, quickly realizing the imminent danger. She waved her staff, and eight blood-red barriers materialized in front of her.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The divine spear collided fiercely with the blood shields, but the seven Infinite Dimensions mages attacked in unison, and even an S-class Blood Demon spell struggled to withstand their combined power.
In an instant, the blood shields shattered, and Ghost King let out a pained grunt.
One of her arms was shattered, her body slammed hard against the palace's ceiling.
Magical Cripple
Crippling Blow: -12,000,000!
With one successful strike, Orson didn't stop. He swung his Supreme Arcane Blade, and the Death Star soared into the air.
Seven Judgment Flames exploded out, their pull forcing even the strongest King-boss to be lifted off the ground.
Orson executed his US glory tactic to perfection, mixing precise strikes with overwhelming firepower.
A storm of Chaos Magic Balls rained down, bringing with it a magical tide that slammed into the palace.
Even the former Demi-God Supreme couldn't help but change expression.
Hillogu, pale with fear, scrambled behind Ursula, who was in an invincible state.
Orson's gaze was cold as he observed Ghost King, who was now surrounded by a glowing red aura. She activated the powerful Body Domination: Fallen Angel form.
The ground shook beneath them, the formerly grand Ghost King Palace collapsing under the onslaught. The entire Blissful Land had turned into a wasteland.
Miss!
Miss!
…
The attack didn't inflict any real damage on Ghost King, but Orson remained unfazed. Based on his previous experience, he knew that although the Body Domination skill was tough to counter, it had a long cooldown.
He'd already forced out a key skill at the cost of a tiny bit of mana—worth every bit.
Ghost King's broken arm began to heal, her health slowly rising as she glared at him with murderous intent, chanting an incomprehensible incantation.
She was about to enter another extended casting phase under Body Domination.
"Blood Demon Magic - Blood Dragon Disaster!"
As the Blood Demon Magic's six-pointed star formed, blood mist began swirling. The entire secret realm shook as if the apocalypse had arrived.
A deafening roar echoed from deep within the palace ruins, the thick smell of blood overpowering.
"Another Forbidden Curse?"
Orson's expression shifted slightly. In the next moment, a deep rift appeared in the palace floor.
Two gigantic creatures with blood-red wings flew from the abyss.

"Two King-tier Bone Dragons?"
Orson's heart sank. He had underestimated Ghost King's power. In her peak condition a thousand years ago, she had already slain a King-tier from the Dragon Clan.
At that time, the Dragon Clan was at its zenith, boasting several King-tier warriors within their ranks.
Ghost King: "You are the first opponent who has forced me to take you seriously."
"Then I must say, you've misunderstood." Orson replied coldly.
The Dragon Kings, now undead, no longer resembled the mighty Sky Gods they once were.
Not only had their stats been severely diminished compared to their peak, but many of their skills and abilities had been lost.
The two bone dragons weren't much of a threat to him at all.
With a powerful roar, one purple and one red breath surged forward, rapidly heading toward Orson.
"Crimson Lizard King!"
The Crimson Lizard King—who was always eager for a challenge—didn't need to be told twice. She opened her massive mouth, releasing a Death Dragon Breath to counter the incoming attacks!
Whoosh!
The Death Dragon Breath fought back two dragon breaths, sending shockwaves through the air.
The magic waves tore open a huge hole in the secret realm.
The entire space trembled violently, cracks forming as if the entire area were about to collapse.
The Crimson Lizard King let out a fierce roar, the unmatched power of the Dragon King pressing the two dragon breaths back.
The two King-tier Bone Dragons, realizing they couldn't win, pulled back into the air, retreating over a thousand meters to regroup.
"Mere ants." The Crimson Lizard King sneered with disdain.
But Ghost King smiled faintly, her voice cold. "Blood burns!"
Orson raised an eyebrow. He watched as the two massive bone dragons landed, and hundreds of Blood Clan soldiers jumped onto their backs like warriors boarding a warship, using the dragons as vehicles to take to the skies.
"Ancestor! Invincible in this world!"
"God-Emperor, I will claim your head to honor the Soul of Heroes of my people!"
The two bone dragons, each carrying a large number of Blood Clan warriors, advanced on Orson.
Orson was momentarily surprised. He had underestimated Ghost King's tactical intelligence. By riding on the back of the King-tier Bone Dragons, they could avoid his Sky Sovereign restriction and engage him directly.
"You've got some tricks, but not much."
Orson's gaze sharpened, a cold smile appearing on his face. Despite Ghost King's stubbornness, her ability to lead her army hadn't diminished.
The two bone dragons were fast in flight, and the Blood Clan archers began to shoot arrows while the roars of war and Blood Demon Magic rained down from above.
The entire space seemed to tremble under the assault of the indomitable Blood Clan warriors.
The fire of vengeance that had burned for a thousand years surged forward once again!
Orson narrowed his eyes, activating the Magic Eye Mirror of Folding. Even with his extraordinary health, this overwhelming concentrated firepower could potentially overwhelm him in the blink of an eye.
"I admit you've got Gaedashiram's vigor, but you will be defeated today!"
