The Monarch of Skies Zabofel, was a very experienced Breaking Dawn Rank 6 Magus who lived through many opponents and enemies. The life of Magus was always life bordering death with one leg because Magi would constantly fight for resources and opportunities.
To reach this far, he went through hell and became one of the remaining Breaking Dawn Rank 6 Magi in the entire surface world of the Magus World and ruled large parts of the Central Continent for thousands of years.
Naturally, he was very well aware of what was awaiting him if he lost and escape was not an option.
Thus, after gauging his opponent's capabilities enough, he decided to go all out to kill the overgrown dragon.
He was confident that after killing the dragon that almost reached Being of Law, he would obtain tremendous wealth from its corpse and possibly even advance to the fabled Rank 7 Magus of Laws...
Since the fall of the ancient Byron Empire of Magi, none from the known Magus World managed to reach the Rank 7 Being of Law. Monarch of Skies Zabofel already saw himself as the first one who would become one.
He took out everything from his spatial rings that could be used to power up the Sky City, and instantly, the capacity of the City increased from easily 1% to 10%, a tenfold increase within several seconds.
Obviously this didn't escape the watchful eye of Gu Long, who spewed a huge mouthful of waves of flames towards the Sky City in anger, as a translucent crystal barrier appeared around the Sky City, protecting it from any kind of harm.
As the shield appeared around the Sky City, several magic cannons showed themselves as they took aim at Gu Long, who quickly realized what was happening and instantaneously used the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Spell to teleport as far as possible from the Sky City as the barrage started.
Suddenly, tens of magic canons fired concentrated energy blasts of pure destructive blue energy that would obliterate even some weak Breaking Daw Rank 6 Magi in one hit.
Now, the Dragon Prince could see the firepower of the Sky City when it was just at 10%, just one-tenth of its original capacity.
This only made Gu Long narrow his eyes at the Sky City as his greed towards the City skyrocketed to new heights.
Extremely precious artifacts.
Using the Great Destruction Realm Teleportation Spell to teleport around the Sky City, dodging one projectile after another, he soon enough appeared behind the Sky City as he swiped his tail at the crystal protective barrier.
With the impact, the City shook from the impact of being hit by Gu Long's enormous dragon tail.
Not only was his dragon form enormous, as he was more than three hundred meters in length, but his wingspan was also almost one kilometer.
Not wasting any time and seeing that the crystal barrier had withstood the strikes by his tail, Gu Long roared angrily as he started ferociously attacking the crystal barrier, protecting the Sky City with his tail.
Giving it one hit after another as the cracks already started appearing on the barrier one after another.
Understandably, the barrier, with its current power and the energy that the Monarch of Skies Zabofel was supplying, wasn't able to withstand Gu Long's ferocious attack wave.
Observing this development from the heart of the Sky City, the Monarch of Skies Zabofel visibly cringed, seeing that the crystal shield barrier protecting the City was already cracking to the point that one of Gu Long's enormous claws managed to make a tear in the barrier.
And then another, and then with another hit, the barrier shattered in certain parts, allowing Gu Long to tear it down properly as the Sky City was left unprotected for the Dragon Prince to enter freely.
As the Monarch of Skies Zabofel looked at the energy consumption, he noticed that the reserves of the City were something around 2,7% to 2,8% as most of the energy was used to create the crystal shield barrier around the Sky City and maintain it.
Just for several minutes, it took Gu Long to tear it down by making small holes into it, which led to the collapse of the barrier altogether. He had already activated and used most of the weapons available to his disposition within the Sky City.
All defensive measures were either breached by the humongous dragon or were outright destroyed by him in a few hits without any problems.
Monarch of Skies Zabofel was right now seriously contemplating if he should escape, but seeing the humongous dragon tearing his way through various defenses that remained in the Sky City toward the palace, he realized that it was futile.
Not to mention, his own injuries that Gu Long inflicted on him were pretty severe... while he may appear okay, the Law of Devour inside his body was wreaking total havoc.
"It seems that everything needs to come to an end..."
Monarch of Skies Zabofel stated silently, only for him to hear as the roof of the palace collapsed under the strike of the dragon and Monarch of Skies Zabofel was shot through countless walls by a swipe of the dragon's tail.
Instantly following a huge wave of dragon's flame, concentrated only at the Monarch of Skies Zabofel because Gu Long didn't wish to cause useless damage, or rather to damage and destroy more things that he had already damaged and destroyed.
Using the window of opportunity where the Monarch of Skies Zabofel was unprotected, Gu Long shapeshifted to his human form and summoned his Dragon Slayer Halbert.
Instantly, he jumped towards the Monarch of Skies Zabofel, gripping his Dragon Slayer Halbert, piercing through the heart of the Monarch of Skies Zabofel.
All of this took just a moment as the fabled Monarch cast a barrier spell to protect himself from the incoming flames as he crashed into the debris.
Unfortunately, the spell was not strong enough to resist the full might of Gu Long, who was pushing through with his Dragon Slayer Halbert. In a split of moments, the Law of Devour started spreading through the body of Monarch of Skies Zabofel and devouring his very own essence.
Gu Long didn't leave anything to an accident as he immediately used the Law of Devour to completely devour the Monarch of Skies Zabofel to prevent him from using any means to preserve his life.
He was aware that all of the old-timer magic users were crafty old foxes that were more cunning than Devils, so he wasn't taking any chances.
