"Roar!!!"
In the sky, the humanoid Evil Dragon roared, flapping its wings as it lunged toward Tenraku. Its massive body sent many Evil Dragons and Heavenly Dragons engaged in combat flying.
"Hooouuuuuuu!"
A long howl echoed in the area and Tenraku, wielding the Holy Spear, transformed into a streak of colorful light, charging towards the adversary.
Splatter...
Under everyone's gaze, the two figures flashed past each other in the air, then simultaneously came to a halt.
The Vampires below Carmilla's royal city collectively took a sharp breath, and even Queen Carmilla and several Vampire elders couldn't help but twitch their eyes.
In just one glance, the mighty humanoid Evil Dragon had a massive cavity torn open in its body by Tenraku!
"Roar!!!"
In agony, the humanoid Evil Dragon emitted a mournful cry. However, the flesh around the cavity torn by Tenraku began to squirm, visibly healing at a remarkable speed.
"Interesting. It seems you retained the regenerative ability from your time as a Vampire. Rizevim must have taken special care of you," Tenraku remarked with a bloodthirsty smile.
"So—"
"Let me see how long you can endure!"
With a bloodthirsty grin, Tenraku's Holy Spear extended rapidly and, like lightning, continuously pierced the humanoid Evil Dragon's body.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
With each thrust of the spear, enormous blood cavities exploded on the humanoid Evil Dragon's body. For a moment, the entire sky was filled with flying flesh and blood, creating an intensely gruesome scene.
Although the humanoid Evil Dragon possessed a formidable regenerative ability, it couldn't keep up with the rate at which its body was being destroyed.
Screams echoed continuously, shaking the heavens. The Vampires below were already getting numb from the terrifying sight.
The incredibly powerful humanoid Evil Dragon was being mercilessly tortured in front of the Red Dragon Emperor!
"Roar!"
Seemingly aware that it couldn't continue like this, the humanoid Evil Dragon opened its giant mouth, preparing to unleash a flame.
But Tenraku had no intention of giving it another chance!
The golden Holy Spear expanded and elongated, and then, swung by Tenraku, it ruthlessly smashed onto the humanoid Evil Dragon's head!
Boom!
The flames it intended to spew were forcibly suppressed. The massive head of the humanoid Evil Dragon was hammered into a daze, covered in blood.
"Red Dragon Emperor!!"
With fierce hostility, the humanoid Evil Dragon roared in resentment. The colossal sound waves even caused bleeding in the ears and noses of many weaker Vampires below.
"Are you calling for me?" Tenraku teleported to the top of the humanoid Evil Dragon's head, grinning at the face on its forehead.
This face was identical to the one Marius Tepes once had. Upon seeing Tenraku, its eyes instantly turned blood-red, and it emitted a blood-red light wave from its open mouth. However, Tenraku easily dodged it with a slight sidestep.
"What an ugly fellow."
Sighing, Tenraku thrust the spear directly into the face.
"Yaaaaaaaaa!!!"
Twisting in agony, the humanoid Evil Dragon emitted a harrowing scream. The entire creature writhed in pain.
"Roar! Roar!"
Hundreds of mass-produced Evil Dragons charged towards Tenraku, seemingly attempting to rescue the humanoid Evil Dragon.
With a cold snort, Tenraku thrust his Holy Spear towards the oncoming dragons, easily picking off the charging Evil Dragons. Most of them were stabbed to death at vital points, and those not yet dead had their impurities purified and consumed by the power of the Holy Spear, falling from the sky with cries of agony.
"Don't let those small fries bother me."
Tenraku commanded, and instantly, all the Heavenly Dragons around him flew over, enclosing Tenraku and the humanoid Evil Dragon in the center. In the air, they formed a massive sphere, making it into a spectacular sight.
Heart-rending cries continued to emanate from the sphere, and many observing Vampires shivered with fear.
Undoubtedly, the humanoid Evil Dragon was a terrifying monster, but unfortunately, today it encountered a creature even more terrifying than itself!
"Akasha-Sama, I wonder what reward the Red Dragon Emperor expects after helping us eliminate the Evil Dragons?" A Vampire elder couldn't help but inquire from the top of a high building below the royal city.
This particular Vampire elder had fiery red long hair, and possessed exceptional beauty, and her question immediately captured the attention of several other elders. Though somewhat incredulous, the outcome of the war was quite clear.
The complete eradication of the Evil Dragons was only a matter of time, and so the Vampire elders were now focused on the issue of compensation.
If a deal had been struck between Akasha-Sama and the Red Dragon Emperor, only Akasha-Sama knew what the other party desired. The Red Dragon Emperor had assisted in annihilating the Evil Dragons, saving the Vampire race from a crisis. The expected compensation was likely anything but simple!
Turning around, Queen Carmilla did not respond, only giving a cold look to the Vampire elder who had just asked the question.
Feeling a chill in her heart, the Vampire elder immediately lowered her head, no longer daring to ask anything further.
In the sky, the battle was approaching its conclusion. The massive sphere formed by thousands of mass-produced Heavenly Dragons dispersed, allowing everyone to finally see the scene inside.
The originally fierce humanoid Evil Dragon had become utterly battered and broken, appearing extremely miserable. Some of its flesh continued to writhe, but it was beyond recovery.
This was to be expected, as its entire head had been pierced by the Holy Spear in Tenraku's hands!
"I will take you with me to die, Red Dragon Emperor!!!" Issuing a resentful shout, the entire body of the humanoid Evil Dragon began to swell.
"Trying to play the self-destruction card when you can't win? A boring trick," Tenraku remarked sarcastically before he leaped into the air and unfolded several layers of his inherent barriers, tightly sealing the humanoid Evil Dragon.
Boom!!!
A dazzling radiance exploded and the humanoid Evil Dragon burst open under the gaze of everyone.
In the air, a blinding sun seemed to rise. The energy released in the instant of the humanoid Evil Dragon's explosion was no less than that of a nuclear blast.
The barriers enclosing the humanoid Evil Dragon were gradually shattered layer by layer. The Vampires below the royal city watched with pounding hearts.
Fortunately, after breaking through a dozen layers of barriers, the explosive energy was exhausted and could no longer breach the remaining barriers. Finally, with a wave of Tenraku's hand, it disappeared without a trace.
"Roar..."
With the defeat and death of the humanoid Evil Dragon, the remaining Evil Dragons completely lost the courage to fight. They scattered and fled in fear.
"Kill them all, don't let a single one escape!" Queen Carmilla decisively commanded from the top of the tall building.
The greatest threat had been eliminated, and now the remnants must be eradicated entirely. The Vampires, following orders, soared into the sky, swiftly chasing down the fleeing Evil Dragons.
