Chapter 326: CH : 317 Demon Lord of Black Smoke City Vs Black King
"Is this still a black dragon?" Lasse looked suspiciously at the creature—gray from head to toe, exuding a cold aura, with a dark magical eye on its forehead, eight thick dragon horns, muscular build, and a body over eighty meters long—a terrifying draconic figure.
If the subordinates who escaped had not told him that this strange and majestic gray-white dragon was originally a black dragon, Lasse would have thought it was an indigenous dragon that jumped out of nowhere.
Indigenous dragon, full name: a dragon species naturally born and evolved from countless material planes in the star worlds.
There are many types of indigenous dragons, and the upper and lower limits of their strength vary greatly. They are roughly divided into emperor dragons, dragons, snake dragons, dinosaurs, allosaurus, etc.
In the star realms, the peak existence among the indigenous dragons is no weaker than the Chromatic Dragon Mother Tiamat in terms of strength and status. They are quite terrifying god-like existences.
Just when Lasse was having a headache due to the gray-white dragon's ability, he sensed a dangerous aura.
The ferocious gray-white dragon's claws, which were bigger and more terrifying than a house, grabbed Lasse hard, and then crushed him into a puddle of bones and flesh.
But when the gray-white dragon escaped from the void and saw the bone residue and fleshy mud on his claws, there was no excitement about killing the enemy in his eyes.
With the spiritual power of the caster who had been practicing for many years pouring out, and the third magic eye on the forehead opening at full power, I looked at the dragon claw again. Where were the bone residues and flesh paste?
"What a terrible illusion." This thought arose in my mind, and at the same time, the dragon body sank into the void again and disappeared.
And almost at the moment when I shuttled into the void, a pale bone spur that turned into light silently penetrated through the place where the black dragon disappeared.
The pale bone spur finally fell into the hands of the bone demon Lasse.
At some point, he stood on top of the black tower.
But at this moment, his face looked truly ugly.
He actually had the ability to travel through space at will and such a strong resistance to illusions. The talent of this giant gray dragon was too abnormal.
"Just right, I still lack a suitable mount." Bone Demon Lasse licked his pale lips, his purple pupils radiating evil light.
At his feet, the black tower covering the Gate of the Abyss suddenly trembled slightly.
"Suppress it!" Lasse roared, controlling the black tower that suddenly became huge and shrouded it into a void, where the gray-white dragon had just appeared.
Hiding in the void all the time consumed a lot of void power.
Seeing the black tower coming, and sensing the terrifying and suppressive power coming from it, I did not hesitate and escaped into the void again.
In the next moment, I appeared in front of the Gate of the Abyss.
When Bone Demon Lasse saw this scene, his expression changed, and he felt something bad in his heart.
Did this strange dragon know something?
However, this idea had just emerged. In the next moment, the gray-white dragon opened its mouth filled with the power of the void, and bit down on the dark crystal stone on the uppermost door frame of the Gate of the Abyss, biting it forcefully down.
The Gate of the Abyss, which was originally like a nebula, instantly returned to calm and became an ordinary tall dark portal.
Some unlucky demons who were passing through the gate of the abyss were directly cut into two parts by the blocked space force. One part was in the abyss plane, and the other part fell to the ghost plane.
"No!! Roar!!!"
When Lasse saw the jet-black crystal being bitten off the Gate of the Abyss by the gray-white dragon, the bad feeling in his heart turned into reality, and he let out an angry roar.
The strong soul power shook the surrounding space, and the demon cannon fodder below was only affected and fell in pieces. The body was unscathed, but the soul disintegrated and died.
As the target of Lasse's attack, I faced pressure that was tens of millions of times greater than that of the demons below. I only felt slightly dazed. When I came to my senses, the pale bone spurs that turned into streams of light had penetrated my dragon body.
The withering and death contained in the pale bone spurs—two legendary characteristics—spread crazily in my dragon body.
My majestic and energetic dragon body began to gradually wither, and my flesh and blood shriveled. At the same time, my whole body was filled with the energy of death, and the power of death also enveloped it.
"Haha, you will definitely die if you are hit by my Demonic Bone Spur." Lasse breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the gray-white dragon being hit by its bone spur.
Although the Death Bone Demonic Thorn is only a lower-level legendary item, it has two legendary properties, and the two properties can cooperate with each other to exert greater power. It can be said to be the best among lower-level legendary items.
Such a top-grade lower-level legendary weapon is worth more than five or six ordinary lower-level legendary items.
However, although he was relieved, Lasse was also a little confused.
Because the gray-white dragon was only sluggish for a moment under the howl of his soul scream. If Lasse hadn't reacted very quickly in combat and accurately found the opportunity to send out the Demonic Bone Thorn, he would have been taken out by the gray-white dragon. It would have escaped with the Heart of the Abyss.
"Although I don't know if you are a mutant dragon among the black dragons or a rare-blooded species among the indigenous dragons, it doesn't matter, because you will be my mount soon." Lasse sneered as he watched the aura fade and the flesh and blood all over the giant gray dragon's body begin to wither, waiting for its mercy.
But—
'What a powerful soul howl, what a powerful bone spur.' I felt a little solemn in my heart as I sensed the decaying dragon body.
However, although this so-called bone spur is powerful, the one who controls it is the Bone Demon Lord Lasse, whose level is limited to the second level of the legend—not Lasse in his heyday.
I used the power of the void with all my strength to devour and decompose the powerful abnormal energy invading my body. Qualitatively, limited by my strength, it takes several parts of the power of the void to decompose and devour a portion of the abnormal energy.
Even without devouring it, it would take an exceptionally long time before the withering touch and the corrosive energy of death could pose any serious threat to my body. With my third-tier super-speed regeneration and the ever-active Radiant Force Field enveloping me, their combined effect wasn't just additive—it was multiplicative. One plus one became far more than two. It would take weeks, if not months, of continuous exposure before the decay could truly endanger me.
But he doesn't need to know that.
Moreover the abnormal energy that invaded was rootless after all, and the power of the void was at home. When I ignored the consumption of the power of the void, 90% of the abnormal energy invaded by the Death Bone Demonic Thorn was quickly removed.
My heart moved, and I deliberately kept the remaining bit.
Therefore, in terms of performance, I still appeared to be getting weaker and weaker, and for this reason, I even actively suppressed the rapid recovery effect of the third-level super sped regeneration and turn of Radiant Force Field, preventing the shriveled body and breath from recovering.
"I will not surrender to an inferior creature like you." I sneered weakly, secretly preparing my most terrifying blow.
Sure enough, Lasse, who originally wanted to wait for the gray-white dragon to beg for mercy, suddenly became angry when he heard it mocking him shamelessly.
The Bone Demon Lasse, the lord of the abyss who rules hundreds of millions of demons and dark creatures, was actually called an inferior creature by a weak reptile waiting to die?!
He couldn't stand it at all!
"Reptile, it seems you need a lesson!" A trace of ferociousness flashed across Lasse's pupils.
His figure flashed and came directly in front of the gray-white dragon. There was a bone spear in his hand. Pale energy surged. The bone spear instantly expanded from more than two meters long from dozens of meters long. It was aimed at the roots of the gray-white dragon's wings that were about to pin him in the air.
However, he was cautious—even if he was facing a weak and severely injured enemy, he remained extremely cautious. On his body, a set of lower-level legendary armor with two characteristics quickly emerged.
As a relatively powerful demon lord, intermediate legendary items were also very precious to Lasse. There was only one of them, and that was the Black Tower.
But for lower-level legendary items, even those with two legendary properties, Lasse was still able to piece together a set of equipment of his own.
Seeing Lasse being so cautious, a trace of pity flashed in my eyes.
I knew that it would be difficult to take advantage of the opportunity to kill this Abyss Lord.
Lasse, who sensed something was wrong, became wary and wanted to retreat.
But I, who had already prepared to accumulate strength, would not let him run away.
If he couldn't be killed, he must at least be severely injured!
Roar!
I frantically squeezed the void power in my body and burst out in an instant, swallowing up the Bone Demon Lasse like a tsunami. At the same time, the third demonic eye on my forehead opened angrily, and the black light of the annihilating beam shot toward the Bone Demon.
I used the second-level alienation talent Demon Flame, the first-level alienation talent Black Water, Poisonous Aura, Frost, and Purple Thunder. These abilities are not limited to dragon breath but are abilities based on blood. As long as the mental power is strong enough, they can be controlled and used at the same time.
But these were just foreplay. The real killing move was the dragon's tail hidden in the void. The dragon's tail was filled with crazily squeezed spiritual energy, void energy, and mana to add some power—a total of three kinds of energy.
Finally, these three types of energy were integrated and used with the spiritual martial art of Hundred Split Fist.
Because the energy was so huge and complex, the martial arts technique used with the dragon tail seemed to have a lot of flaws.
However, all these flaws disappeared due to the preparation in advance and the powerful stealth and speed of traveling through the void.
There was a bang.
A terrifying energy storm erupted in mid-air.
A stream of white and purple light directly hit the door frame of the Abyss Gate, knocking out a gap in the extremely hard gate, which happened to correspond to the gap that I had bitten off.
The one who was knocked away was the Bone Demon Lord Lasse.
He staggered out from the depths of the earth, his expression ferocious and full of disbelief.
This guy deliberately pretended to be severely injured and weak!
But why did the Death Bone Demonic Thorn have no effect?
Anger and confusion arose in the mind of Bone Demon Lord Lasse.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the aura of the legendary armor with two characteristics dimmed. This was a sign that the protection was directly broken and the legendary armor was damaged.
If he wanted to restore it to something new, he needed to accumulate energy for some time.
Lasse felt the severe pain in every part of his body and looked at the gray-white dragon floating in the sky in the distance with a gloomy face.
How could the gray-white dragon still look weak at this moment?
The undulating dragon muscles looked so strong and shapely under the sunlight.
Facing the sight of Bone Demon Lord Lasse, the gray-white dragon spoke:
"Go back to your Abyss City. This plane belongs to me."
I spoke indifferently and stared at the Bone Demon coldly.
At this moment, I was the one with the advantage and upper hand, and the situation between the two had been reversed!
"Damn it!" Lasse was a little angry.
But at this moment, he was very clear in his heart that with the limited level of this plane, he really couldn't defeat this gray-white dragon.
With Lasse's strength at the peak of the fourth level of the Legend, even though he was originally limited by this plane and his level was sealed to the peak of the second level, with various trump cards, abilities, and luxurious legendary equipment, he is not truly restricted. He can kill even those who have reached the third level of the Legend.
The strength of this giant dragon is also within this range, but unfortunately, this creature has too many abilities, and it seems to have no weaknesses at all.
Its soul is very strong, and illusions or soul attacks can only control it for a moment. These techniques must be used when the target is caught off guard; their effectiveness worsens when used directly.
In other aspects—its regenerative power, the dragon body capable of withstanding the terrifying force of its Death Bone Demonic Thorn, the powerful explosive strength, and more—this dragon is simply overwhelming.
Lasse's mood became even worse when he thought about the Heart of the Abyss that was taken away.
Heartbroken and bleeding.
This was the reward granted by the Will of the Abyss, earned after leading the demon army in Black Smoke City and slaughtering countless demons in the bloody battle of the Abyss!!
In the dangerous, bloody battle of the Abyss, not even a high-ranking Legendary demon lord could guarantee his survival—let alone a fourth-level Legendary demon lord?
This reward was fought for with life and blood!
A ray of material black light struck at the struggling Bone Demon Lord Lasse. The latter barely managed to dodge it. He met the warning gaze of the gray-white dragon high in the sky and let out a cold growl.
"Dragon, wait for me!"
Another black light struck.
Lasse became angry out of humiliation, and his aura surged—instantly climbing from the peak of the second level of the Legend to the peak of the fourth level. The material black light, powerful enough to injure a third-level Legendary powerhouse, hit his body without causing even a ripple.
"I will remember you..."
Before Bone Demon Lord Lasse could finish speaking, he was completely expelled from the ghost plane.
This is not the case for the Crimson Mother. The Crimson Mother was born in the Tal Plane, so even when she enters the Tal Plane at full power, she can wield the might of high-level Legends to annihilate all existence within a very short time.
As the Lord of the Abyss, Lasse is instinctively rejected by the material plane. As soon as his power exceeds the critical threshold, he is suppressed by the material plane. If he does not leave immediately, the consequences will be dire.
"It is finally over."
In mid-air, I took a deep breath and looked around, satisfaction flashing in my dragon eyes.
This plane is now dominated by me.
But for now, there are a few little matters that need to be taken care of first.
I lowered my head slightly and spread out my left dragon claw. The nearly broken body of Bone Demon Ogula lay within my claw, barely clinging to life.
Facing the cold gaze of the gray-white dragon, Ogula forced a ferocious and humble smile.
Though he was trapped in my claw and could not 'see' the outside world, he had clearly heard the conversation between me and Lasse.
The lord it had submitted to was defeated.
Defeated beneath the claws of this terrifying giant dragon.
Under the threat of death, Bone Demon Ogula chose to submit to me.
My massive gray-white dragon form returned to its original pitch-black color. I chanted a spell and cast the eight-tier Soul Enslavement spell, now performed with master-level proficiency.
Ogula resisted briefly under the spell's influence, but under the cold and murderous gaze of the black dragon, he finally gave in, relinquishing his soul and allowing the spell to imprint upon it.
The maximum number of enslaved souls I can control has increased from three at the entry level to six at the master level.
Bone Demon Ogula is now my fifth slave.
Once the enslavement was completed, I granted Ogula the power of the Void.
The Soul Enslavement spell allows control through the target's fear of death. Only a fully transformed Void creature can be truly and eternally loyal to me from the depths of their souls.
But this transformation requires time.
"You should be able to control the descending demonic army, right?"
"Of course, Master." Ogula nodded humbly.
I nodded in return, indicating that it was time for him to fulfill his mission.
The Bone Demon's body surged with abyssal energy. After briefly healing his injuries, a pair of bone wings formed on his back. With a flap, he turned into a gray-purple stream of light and disappeared into the sky.
