Chapter 644 Ancient Evil Creatures and Dragons
Anzeta Wilderness, Dragon Blood Mountain, it has already entered winter in the North, but the surroundings of this majestic mountain are still steaming.
"Roar——"
A loud dragon roar resounded through the sky, and the huge red dragon tore through the space, appearing on the top of the mountain accompanied by flames and thick smoke.
"Finally back."
Feeling the familiar feeling of being in control of everything, Cassius smiled happily and finally felt relieved.
This is an absolute sense of security. In the realm of his own empire, even the gods may not be able to defeat him.
As the saying goes, "A golden den or a silver den is not as good as one's own doghouse." Although North IJssel is full of magical energy, it cannot compare with Anzetta in his heart, and it cannot compare with the place where he grew and grew step by step.
After staying in the North IJssel Plain for several months, Cassius finally returned to Anzetta and returned to the imperial territory he was familiar with.
However, Cassius came back this time not to miss the past, but to deal with an extremely dangerous item that even he was not sure of fully controlling - the Eye of Gruumsh.
As long as it has something to do with gods, even objects that have long been separated from the body contain power far beyond the imagination of mortals. Cassius has to treat it with caution.
Because he was keenly aware of one thing: the power in the Eye of Gruumsh was gradually recovering!
From the pool of blood created by the legendary battle between Gruumsh and Corellon Larethian, where the divine blood merged, the "Elf Devourer" Idiak Oridil was born, the famous ancient three One of the evil things.
This ancient evil lurks in the mud of a forgotten layer of the Abyss, feeding on the souls of elves and sacking the elven kingdom many times in known history.
A mortal or god can truly kill Idiak-Oridil only if the conditions are met, as if he were killed in a demigod's native plane. Otherwise, it will always be reinvented in the abyss ten years later.
Even powerful gods such as the God of Storms and the God of Elves cannot completely kill Him.
The blood of a god can give birth to such a terrifying evil thing, but what about his eyes?
Therefore, Cassius had a guess that the reason why he was able to obtain this powerful divine-level item so easily was probably with the tacit approval of Moradin and Corellon.
In this third era where gods are isolated from the material world, even powerful gods find it difficult to show their power in the material world. Once the Eye of Gruumsh completely breaks through the seal, the consequences will be disastrous.
Instead of wasting the lives of dwarves and elves to seal evil things, it would be better to let yourself, an equally troublesome evil dragon, deal with the evil things. If not, it might end up in a fight between two tigers, and one of them will be injured.
However, this is just an unfounded guess. After all, his vest has not been exposed yet, and the Burning Ember Empire is also its own domain, which can protect it from all prying eyes from the outside world.
Although this eye is only half and has been sealed for many years by the two powerful gods Moradin and Corellon, its power cannot be underestimated.
All in all, you must not let down your vigilance at all.
"Let me see what kind of power the remains of a powerful god can contain."
Cassius stretched out his dragon claw, inserted it into the extra-dimensional space prepared for him, took out half of the Eye of Gruumsh, and held it in his palm.
Sure enough, that power has revived!
"Ouch——"
In an instant, extremely dense evil power spewed out like a tide. The dark fog of war filled the surrounding space, and noisy and harsh war roars and wails filled the sky.
The red dragon could feel the endless resentment pouring out, even washing away his mind.
Immediately afterwards, terrifying divine power from the fields of chaos, evil, war, strength, hatred, etc. poured out, distorting everything around him like a terrifying black hole.
"This is."
Cassius looked around, and the surrounding environment turned into a battlefield riddled with holes and filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood. The ground was filled with spears and battle axes, and the corpses of orcs, elves and dwarves were everywhere.
That was the battlefield of ancient times!
In that distant era, gods could still walk the earth. It is said that in that magnificent duel, the three gods Gruumsh, Corellon, and Moradin fought to the death.
That duel lasted for several years, bringing terrible disaster to the world, and ended with Corellon blinding Gruumsh's left eye and the orcs being defeated.
"Woo——"
There was a distant horn sound in the distance. The red dragon raised his head and saw an orc god looking down at him with contempt in his eyes.
——His whole body was covered with heavy and crude black full-body armor. His figure was extremely towering and tall, and his whole body exuded an aura of evil and chaos. Behind that figure, there was a mottled sky of blood and black.
Even the red dragon can feel a strong sense of oppression on his shoulders, which is the suppression of the god's life level.
If you just look at his appearance and aura, his identity is already obvious—Gruush, the orc god.
Gruumsh has ruled over the other orc gods with an iron fist ever since, a fearsome and cruel god who delights in war and is forever seeking new territories for his race.
Under the gaze of Cassius, the orc god slowly said: "Mortal things. Why don't you worship?"
The red dragon still stayed where he was. He did not pay his respects. Instead, he tilted his head and looked at the orc as if he was looking at new things.
Seeing that the other party had no reaction, the orc god's face suddenly became ferocious. He raised the spear in his hand and roared angrily: "Dragon! Do you know what kind of existence is standing in front of you?"
"Of course I know."
The orc really didn't expect that the red dragon in front of him was not afraid at all, and just said: "It's just a divine evil that pretends to be a god!"
"What? How could you."
The pupils of the orc "god" suddenly dilated, with a look of panic on his face.
Cassius continued to sigh: "Tsk, tsk, it is indeed an evil thing transformed from the remains of a powerful god, and it can actually make such a level of disguise.
Even I can't see the coercion of this personality and the aura of divine power. It's almost the same as the incarnation of a god, except"
Cassius changed the topic, grinned ferociously, and his voice turned into a roar: "This is the Ember Empire!"
"Boom!"
The red dragon suddenly clenched its claws, and in an instant, dense cracks like spider webs appeared in the surrounding space, and they shattered with a crisp sound.
Whether it was the mottled sky or the magnificent ancient battlefield, they all disappeared at this moment and turned into scattered mist.
The figure of the "orc god" in the sky also became distorted, like a monster that was forcibly sewn together, and seemed to be about to disintegrate. "Who gave you the courage to play tricks on my territory!" Cassius suddenly raised his dragon wings and soared into the sky.
The dragon crystal on the chest of the red dragon released an extremely dazzling light, and the ancestral dragon blood, solar power, power of order, and chaotic flames in the body began to rotate rapidly, releasing majestic energy.
Endless torrent of flames poured out from Cassius's body and became an extension of his limbs. The originally sixty-meter-long dragon body continued to expand, and in just a few breaths, it suddenly reached a length of hundreds of meters.
At the same time, Cassius's [Imperial Domain] was also fully activated without reservation, and the surrounding thunder and lightning, flames, airflow, and even the laws of time and space were all controlled by him.
At this moment, the red dragon is the god in this field!
The red dragon raised its head and roared, raised its front paws, and countless violent fire dragons rose from the ground and attacked the orcs in the sky.
"Damn it! I am Gruumsh, the Never-Sleeping One, the King of War!" The orc looked up to the sky and roared, waving the spear in his hand, letting out a roar, and the powerful aura of divine power spread.
Obviously, he still wanted to make a final struggle and use the power he showed to scare the red dragon.
But Cassius sneered, waved his dragon wings, and set off a blazing wind that could shatter the space.
"Do you know what the most famous title of the orc god is now - one-eyed!"
Without hesitation, Cassius spread out his broad wings, carrying terrifying power, and swooped down from the sky, piercing the sky.
【Imperial Realm: Outbreak】
【Imperial Domain: Control】
This time, not only were flames, thunder, and light sweeping over like a tsunami, but even the surrounding space was squeezing toward the orc. The broken space was like a sharp blade, piercing the orc's body.
"Ouch——"
A harsh scream sounded, and the sound contained endless malice and resentment. Just hearing this sound was enough to drive a mortal into madness.
The figure of the orc became more and more strange. Hundreds of densely packed eyes sprouted from its head, and its arms and torso were covered with eye sockets, exuding a chaotic aura.
This evil thing can no longer maintain the form of Gruumsh. His body is about to disintegrate and will take on its true form as an ancient evil thing!
That is the hatred from ancient times, the most chaotic existence born in divinity, with the instinct of destruction!
At this moment, this evil force from ancient times is even infecting the empire, destroying the order established by Cassius, and trying to pollute Dragon Blood Mountain and even the entire Anzeta!
"To deal with extreme chaos, we can only use the purest order."
Looking at the increasingly ferocious orc, the red dragon did not panic, but thought carefully. Thinking of this, terrifying energy surged in the blood vessels in his body, revealing his scales like twinkling roots.
The red dragon took a deep breath, feeling the power of order flowing within his body, and then opened his mouth. Silver-white flames accumulated deep in his throat, emitting the brilliance of daylight.
【Order Breath】
In an instant, with the explosion of air, the silver-white flame poured out, piercing the sky like a comet!
"Boom!"
The silver-white fire pillar directly penetrated the thick black mist emitted by the ancient evil thing, and directly bombarded the body hidden behind the black mist.
The [Fire of Order] not only evaporated the moisture in the air, but also burned away the chaotic and evil atmosphere emitted by the ancient evil things, making the surrounding space full of order.
"Why!"
"Why do you want to be my enemy! Why do you want to restrain me!
I am the incarnation of Gruumsh, a powerful god, and all those who oppose me - whether they are elves, dwarves or dragons, will be destroyed! ”
The ear-piercing screams caused the space to constantly shake and tremble, as if the world was about to collapse.
The silver-white fire pillar tore apart the last disguise of the ancient evil creature, and hundreds of tentacles with eyes broke out of the skin, discarding the skin that looked like a burly orc.
In the end, the huge eyeball soaked in mucus broke out of the skin. The dark pupils contained endless malice, but the eye was only half, as if it had been neatly cut with a knife.
The diameter of the main body of this eyeball reaches one hundred meters, and each tentacle is thousands of meters long. Tentacles grew on the eyeballs, squirming and waving like countless pythons, almost covering the sky.
Those tentacles were covered with dense eye sockets, and each tentacle had almost thousands of eyes, all staring at the red dragon with resentment, which looked particularly scary.
"Ignorant mortal creature, I will tear you to pieces!
I am the terminator of all things, the destroyer of elves and dwarves, the avenger, the half-eye of Gruumsh—Evinis! ”
Overlapping screams sounded, and the evil loudly called out its true name, making everything tremble.
Every minute and every second, this evil thing is exuding the forbidden aura from ancient times, polluting the surrounding space. If a mortal saw such a bizarre sight, he would definitely lose all his money and go crazy on the spot.
These are ancient evil beings. Since ancient times, they have been sealed, imprisoned and restricted by the forces representing the order of the worlds. Once they are released, they will cause monstrous evil and destruction, destroying the world on which all races rely to thrive. All.
They are not gods, but they are immortal all the same.
But Cassius flapped his wings and looked at the ancient evil creature in the distance that was somewhat similar to the beholder. What showed on the dragon's face was not fear—but disgust.
The red dragon frowned and couldn't help but sigh: "This is so damn ugly, even more disgusting than the Fungus Lady I saw two days ago."
Moreover, Cassius was also keenly aware that this so-called ancient evil seemed to be much weaker than he expected.
[Evil Eye of Chaos-Evinis (Challenge Level: 28)]
In Cassius's eyes, the ancient evil creature at this moment was actually much weaker than the red dragon under normal circumstances.
And compared with Cassius, who is like a god in the empire, it is completely different, not as terrifying as the form it shows.
"Does it mean that it has not been completely unblocked?"
Thinking of this, Cassius's dragon face suddenly showed a joking smile: "So that's it"
This ancient evil thing really used "bluff" to the extreme. It should have released all the remaining divine power of Gruumsh to create such a huge momentum, but its body is still trapped in that half. in stone.
If other people encounter this situation, they may collapse when faced with the illusion of Gruumsh, giving this ancient evil a chance to escape.
"In that case, let you see the power of this 'mortal thing' like me."
The red dragon flapped its wings, stretched out its claws towards the sky, and grasped it from afar. The thousands of meters long, flashing red giant claws suddenly appeared in the sky and grabbed the main eyeball of the evil thing.
"Ouch——"
There was another shrill wail, and the Evil Eye of Chaos exploded in the air, turning into a ball of black mist.
