Ashen Dragon

Chapter 264: Chapter 189 Keman’s Revenge
 

“Oh?”

“So, what you’re saying is… there is a demon’s lair there?”

Cassius’s interest was piqued instantly. He used his strong limbs to support his massive body and slowly stood up. The fire flickered in his lava-like pupils.

In his memory, the demonic invasion in the Ancytica Mountains was originally brought by “Kaes.” But the current timeline had already deviated, and the events that should have occurred had also changed.

“Yes, Master.”

Alger knelt on one knee on the ground, his head lowered, and answered steadily.

He took out a Magic Scroll from his backpack, which contained images of bizarre creatures that looked like a mix between humans and vultures.

“Master, according to the compendium given by Lord Ramp, this is undoubtedly a Frosthorn. Additionally, I also discovered Bagulamo, Berserker Demons, and even a Fallen Giant that has been demonized.”

Cassius stared at the images, rubbing the bony spur on his chin with his claw, his eyes slightly narrowed.

“It seems the Fallen Giant is the anomaly.”

“What is the exact location of this lair?”

Alger immediately took out another Magic Scroll he carried with him and respectfully presented it.

“The southwest corner of Ancytica… Very good.”

Cassius took just one glance and then stopped looking at it.@@novelbin@@

The Red Dragon slightly shook his body and stretched his wide wings. The gaps in his scales emitted the glow of magma, and the Dragon Crystal in his chest began to activate.

“Tell Ramp to prepare a gigantic Dimension Door for me.”

A mesmerizing Flowing Flame flickered in Cassius’s pupils. He even licked his lips, a sign of his restless battle spirit for the unknown enemy.

“After sleeping for so long…”

“It’s time to stretch my body.”

“Let me see with my own eyes the strength of the abyssal demons.”

After undergoing the transformation of his ancestral bloodline, Cassius had absolute confidence in his own strength. Even if a Demon Lord personally descended to the Prime Material World, he was confident he could ensure his own safety, let alone a so-called demon’s lair.

“Yes, Master.”

Alger and the Tiefling Guards hurried to Northwind Castle to prepare for the Red Dragon’s expedition.

…

In a dark and damp cave,

The Fallen Giant stared at the image formed on the surface of the murky liquid. He fixated on the four-horned Red Dragon that appeared in the image, whispering softly:

“He, he has become stronger.”

The deep voice of the Vengeful Demon echoed from the void.

“Keman, are you afraid?”

“Don’t you believe in the power of The Abyss? Have you… forgotten your inner hatred?”

There was a slight threat hidden in the voice.

The image of the Everfrost Tribe being annihilated resurfaced in the giant’s mind.

Keman clenched his murky yellow teeth tightly, his face twisted and ferocious. As his massive body trembled, the last Frost Giant became furious once again.

“Yes, that’s merely a bluff, I’m far stronger than him!”

“I am the favored of The Abyss, the chosen of the supreme Vengeful Demon Jezarslack, who transcends the fear of death… that is me.”

“Now churn, transcend, I will bring the most utter chaos upon him!”

The hideous Fallen Giant roared to the sky, abyssal fire erupting in his eyes.

“Very good, Keman, continue like this…”

“You will get everything you desire.”

Jezarslack’s praise echoed in the void.

Thrilled by the demon’s commendation, the giant raised his spear that emitted black mist.

“I will have my vengeance! I will destroy everything he has!”

The demons in the lair became restless, letting out disordered, chaotic cheer and howl. They shrieked their hatred of all existence until it became unbearable to themselves.

…

A piercing shriek resonated through the sky.

In the clear, cloudless sky, a comet-like figure streaked past, trailing a long flaming tail and leaving contrails behind.

——That was Cassius.

Accompanied by the howling wind, he landed directly atop the mountain, overlooking the deep cave that resembled a giant blood-red maw, listening to the howls emanating from within.

“This must be the place…”

“The former Mouth of Ancytica, now a demon’s lair.”

As a dwelling place for abyssal demons, this cave was undoubtedly perilous. The Heaven’s Calamity Dragon Eye floating beside the Red Dragon had already foreseen many future scenes, including corruptive blood, expanding darkness, chaotic twisted limbs, and arrays drawn with viscous liquid, turning the cave into something akin to an extension of The Abyss in the Prime Material Plane.

Although Cassius was not afraid, these things indeed posed many troubles for him.

“Since there’s so much filth, let’s save some time.”

With this thought, Cassius coldly chuckled.

“I wonder if these abyssal demons know… how to smoke a rat out of its hole.”

The Red Dragon slowly opened his jaws, and the energy coursed through his dense blood vessels to the Dragon Crystal embedded in his chest, gradually converging there. The surrounding cracks emitted an intense light, and the semi-transparent crystal stone burst with unimaginable brilliance, like a miniature sun.

The pores on his neck and tail suddenly opened, emitting brilliant tails of flame and spewing out white smoke.

Amid the smoke, the highly concentrated energy was transported to the depths of the Red Dragon’s throat. Finally, accompanied by the sound of air igniting, a scorching, pure white pillar of fire was ejected, blasting directly into the mouth of the cave.
