Thump! Thump! Thump!
In the chaotic aerial battlefield, Tosca and Mihae stood on the back of a Scarlet Heavenly Dragon. The entire Heavenly Dragon was protected by Tosca's inherent barrier, while several Evil Dragons of varying sizes continuously collided with the barrier, attempting to break through.
"Tosca, let's take care of these first." Mihae, with clasped hands, ceased her magic attacks before speaking to Tosca beside her.
"Leave it to me." A confident smile curled Tosca's lips, and she activated the ability of her Sacred Gear. Instantly, numerous barrier spheres enveloped the outside Evil Dragons.
Trapped Evil Dragons roared and struggled to break free, but Tosca's inherent barrier was incredibly sturdy— far beyond their capability of destruction.
"Forbidden Move— Cage of Purgatory!"
With thin lips parting, spikes sprouted from all the barrier spheres as Tosca spoke.
Screams echoed as the imprisoned Evil Dragons were impaled on the countless spikes.
"Boom!"
With a cold and cruel command, all the barrier spheres exploded with a resounding boom.
"Tosca's Forbidden Move is truly formidable." Mihae sincerely praised as she watched the dozen or so Evil Dragons completely obliterated.
"Tenraku-Sama mentioned that my Sacred Gear could serve as both a defensive shield and an offensive sword. Under Tenraku-Sama's guidance, I have finally achieved the Forbidden Move of my Sacred Gear."
"All I have belongs to Tenraku-Sama, and this power is only used for Tenraku-Sama."
Looking towards the figure standing in the distant sky, Tosca's eyes revealed endless love and infatuation as she spoke.
"Continue, Mihae, attract more Evil Dragons."
"Got it!"
...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hovering in the air, Mittelt and Kalawarner continuously hurled spears of light, bringing down one Evil Dragon after another.
"Raynare-Sama, we're surrounded."
Wearing a grim expression, Mittelt and Kalawarner leaned closer to Raynare.
"Surrounded? Isn't that even better?"
Excitement warped her expression, and with a whoosh, black flames ignited on Raynare. Startled, Mittelt and Kalawarner quickly distanced themselves from her.
"They're surging, surging! All the power is surging!"
As her momentum continuously escalated, black armor manifested on Raynare's body. It was the Forbidden Move, Vritra's Armor, of the Black Evil Dragon King.
Pushing both hands forward, countless threads shot out from Raynare's palms, connecting to the surrounding Evil Dragons.
"Die!"
With a bloodthirsty and cold command, streams of black flames rushed along the threads onto the bodies of the Evil Dragons. The Flame of Curses from the Black Evil Dragon King Vritra, these flames wouldn't extinguish until they had completely burned and consumed everything.
Hooouuu...
HāHāHāHāHā!!!
The pitiful cries of the Evil Dragons, the wails, and Raynare's maniacal laughter, painted a terrifying picture of darkness and purgatory in the sky.
Exchanging glances, Mittelt and Kalawarner, hiding on the side, shuddered with lingering fear.
That woman is going mad again...
Below the royal city, all the Vampires were observing the aerial battle. Countless Evil Dragons and Heavenly Dragons clashed and roared, beautiful figures danced and shimmered in the sky, igniting a fiery passion just by watching from below.
Unfortunately, this battle did not belong to them, and they were merely witnesses and onlookers!
On the side of the Evil Dragons, the gigantic humanoid Evil Dragon did not engage in combat but remained in the rear, urging other Evil Dragons to fight. On the side of the Heavenly Dragons, Tenraku stood in the air, not rushing to take action.
Tens of thousands of Evil Dragons and Heavenly Dragons tangled and fought in the air. Initially, the two sides were evenly matched, but as time passed, the Evil Dragons gradually fell into a disadvantage.
After this period of fighting, some were mere limb remnants, while others were entire bodies. Injured or deceased Evil Dragons fell from the sky one after another, only to be blocked by the light screen created by Yata-no-Kagami - Eight Ta Mirror, sliding down to the edge of Carmilla's royal city.
Although those transformed into Evil Dragons only knew destruction and slaughter, some remnants of their instinct as living beings remained. Some Evil Dragons, sensing the dire situation, began to break away from the battlefield, attempting to escape.
However, Marius Tepes, in the form of the humanoid Evil Dragon, cruelly devoured several and forced them all back into the fray.
"Roar!!!"
The humanoid Evil Dragon, Marius Tepes, roared to the sky. This terrifying Evil Dragon had injured Queen Carmilla and several elders. The Vampires below the royal city displayed expressions of fear, but in the air, Tenraku revealed a smile.
"So you finally decided to act..."
Under everyone's gaze, the gigantic humanoid Evil Dragon opened its enormous mouth, unleashing a torrent of flames.
"Get out of the way!"
Yubelluna and the other girls, who were in the midst of battle, were alarmed and they quickly rode their Heavenly Dragons to evade. The overwhelming waves of fire seemed poised to engulf everything. Thousands of Evil Dragons and Heavenly Dragons were instantly incinerated, and even the figure of Tenraku disappeared into the sea of flames.
Many Vampires emitted fearful exclamations, and even Queen Carmilla and the Vampire elders atop the tall buildings tensed their nerves, ready to deploy barrier defenses at any moment.
However, just as the flames were about to surge down upon the royal city below, they were completely blocked by the light screen formed by Yata-no-Kagami - Eight Ta Mirror. The sky above the entire royal city turned into a sea of fiery red, dangerously breathtaking yet strangely beautiful.
The spectacle did not last long, and soon, as the flames dissipated, the clear view of the sky returned and all the Vampires secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If not for the Red Dragon Emperor using his Sacred Gear to protect them in advance, they might have suffered significant losses from this attack alone. Though Vampires were a cold-blooded race, at least at this moment, many felt gratitude towards Tenraku.
In the sky, the figure of Tenraku reappeared. Although engulfed by the flames a moment ago, he had unfolded his inherent barrier and remained unharmed.
"Roar!!!"
Another mighty roar echoed as the Evil Dragon formed by Marius Tepes soared back into the battlefield.
A radiant flash erupted and the Longinus, the True Longinus, appeared in Tenraku's hand.
Locking onto the gigantic humanoid Evil Dragon, a sharp glint flashed in Tenraku's eyes.
"I shall begin too..."
