Up in the sky, Apophis laughed wildly, eagerly anticipating Tenraku's angry reaction to the information he had just shared.
But much to Apophis's disappointment, Tenraku's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but that was as far as it went. Instead of reacting with anger, Tenraku burst out laughing like a fool.
"Oye Oye, Red Dragon Emperor, I just shared such important information with you. At least give me some kind of reaction!" Apophis stopped laughing, obviously annoyed by the reaction he had received.
"A reaction? What kind of response do you expect from me?" Tenraku replied. "The news about the other world was surprising, and Rizevim was indeed annoying. But so what? Rizevim is my enemy, and he is dead. You are my enemy, and you will die here today."
"Although the other world, E×E, might cause some trouble, and there might even be a planetary war between our worlds in the near future, but so what? If those people could get along with us, then it would be fine. But if they dare to start a war, we'll eliminate them and dominate their world!"
Tenraku sneered, while Apophis couldn't help but twitch his mouth. "Red Dragon Emperor, I truly hate you!"
"Perfect, I hate you too. Since we both detest each other, let's start hurting each other."
"This time I will not let you escape!" Locking onto Apophis, Tenraku's lips curved into a bloodthirsty smile. With their momentum building, both sides were done with words.
Tenraku conjured the armor of two Heavenly Dragons, and red and white armor began to intersect around his body while flames of darkness ignited around Apophis, and a mass of darkness expanded outward from him.
"Hah!!!" With a pair of scarlet dragon wings and a pair of azure light wings unfurling behind him, Tenraku shot forward with a strike aimed at Apophis.
Apophis didn't try to dodge, but just as Tenraku's fist was about to strike, a black vortex swirled in front of Apophis, and Tenraku's fist plunged into it without touching anything solid.
"Red Dragon Emperor, did you think I would be as careless as last time and let you hit me?"
"Die!!!" With a cold, cruel grin, Apophis condensed black orbs around him, and then all of them, under Apophis' control, shot toward Tenraku.
With alarm bells ringing in his head, Tenraku quickly dodged the black orbs.
Apophis, rumored to be a powerful evil dragon who could control darkness and shadows, had been too careless in his previous encounter with Tenraku, leading to his defeat. Not wanting to make the same mistake this time, he unleashed his full power from the start.
The black orbs streaked through the air like bolts of black lightning. Despite Tenraku's quick evasion, a few of the orbs grazed his armor.
Tenraku knew the strength of the armor of the two Heavenly Dragons better than anyone. But wherever those black orbs grazed, the armor melted and corroded!
His pupils contracted and even Tenraku couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure.
This level of attack could not intimidate him!
"Boost! Boost!!! Boost!!!"
Swinging his hands like wheels, Tenraku projected hundreds of energy bolts at Apophis.
Each of these energy blasts contained terrifying power. Even being hit by one would be enough to make life difficult for Apophis.
But Apophis did not panic. He also condensed hundreds of black orbs that flew toward Tenraku.
There was no violent explosion as expected when the energy bolts collided with the black orbs. Instead, they simply twisted and disappeared upon contact, causing no disturbance in the air.
Frowning, Tenraku refused to believe that his attacks would be ineffective against his enemy. Raising his palms to the sky, he conjured a huge ball of energy, with tens of meters in diameter, and launched it at Apophis once more.
"Red Dragon Emperor, haven't you realized it yet? No matter how often you try, it's useless." With a hint of sarcasm in his tone, Apophis spun another black vortex in front of him and Tenraku's massive sphere of energy entered the vortex and vanished without harming Apophis.
"Your power is indeed formidable and if I was to be attacked, I would not meet a good end. However, your methods are just as easy to deal with. As long as I don't let you hit me, I'll be fine!"
Cold laughter echoed as Apophis spoke, and darkness spread around him, gradually enveloping the surrounding space to form a massive black sphere, like a barrier trapping both Tenraku and Apophis.
"Just blocking a few of my attacks and you're already getting cocky," Tenraku remarked sarcastically as he surveyed his surroundings.
The entire sphere was now shrouded in darkness, devoid of any light. For beings like Tenraku and Apophis, however, the darkness was no hindrance. Even in the darkness, they could see clearly.
"Hmph, enjoy your strength while you still can, Red Dragon Emperor. Soon you will know the terror and despair of darkness!" With a snort, Apophis' body swelled and transformed in the darkness, quickly transforming into a snake-like giant dragon over a hundred meters long.
His jet-black scales blended seamlessly into the surrounding darkness, with only the three silver eyes on his forehead gleaming coldly, fixed on Tenraku in the darkness.
As an evil dragon who controlled darkness and shadows, Apophis could unleash his greatest power in darkness!
"Finally, things are getting interesting," Tenraku remarked. "Let me see if your darkness can truly strike fear into me, Apophis!"
The blood in his body began to boil, and Tenraku exuded an overwhelming aura as he let out a resounding roar and charged at Apophis once more…
…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Hooo!!!" A massive golden orb and a gigantic black orb floated in the air, while below them, Yubelluna and her companions battled thousands of monsters on the sea below.
The sounds of explosions and monster roars filled the air, turning the entire sea into a bloody battlefield.
"Jiu! Jiu!" Two high-pitched shouts echoed as Himejima Suzaku and Lavinia rode giant birds that soared through the sky.
Himejima Suzaku rode the Suzaku, a spirit beast passed down through generations of the Himejima family, while Lavinia rode an ice bird manifested from the Longinus, "Eternal Ice Princess - Absolute Demise".
Their opponents were a group of flying monsters, but Lavinia froze them into ice sculptures with her cold aura, while Himejima Suzaku incinerated the frozen monsters with flames.
The two women worked together and continuously harvested the monsters' lives.
"Haha... Die, all of you, die!" With a bloodthirsty laugh, Raynare continuously unleashed rays of light, obliterating one monster at a time.
Mittelt and Kalawarner looked at each other, each seeing the resignation in the other's eyes.
Lady Raynare was losing it again.
But Lady Raynare wouldn't be Lady Raynare if she didn't freak out, would she? Lord Tenraku loves her crazy side.
Mocking her in their hearts, Mittelt and Kalawarner also hurled rays of light, destroying the monsters on the sea.
"Hehe... Raynare is so passionate over there. I'm about to get more standing up!" Holding her cute gothic-style parasol, Walburga skipped around the battlefield in a magical formation.
"Roar!!!" With a crash, a monster suddenly jumped out of the sea and tried to devour Walburga. But just as the monster was about to bite her, a purple pillar of fire shot into the sky and instantly incinerated the giant monster...
"Elmen, drink Onii-chan's blood quickly!" On the other side of the sea, Ravel, Kunou, Le Fay, and Elmen fiercely fought a group of monsters. As Ravel attacked the monsters with flames, she called out to Elmen.
"Yes, Ravel-chan!" Elmen replied before jumping behind her companions and quickly drinking the blood Tenraku had left for her.
Her eyes turned scarlet eyes after drinking Tenraku's blood and Elmen's aura skyrocketed, almost reaching the level of a Demon King.
Then, with a resounding scream, fire wings unfolded behind Elmen, and with a swoosh, she charged forward again, tearing a monster to shreds with her immense power...
In addition to Raynare and Ravel's group of women, Jeanne's group, Yubelluna's group, and the female mages under Katerea's command also formed formations on the surface of the sea, continuously destroying powerful monsters.
Although the women were working extremely hard, there were simply too many monsters in this area of the sea, numbering in the tens of thousands. It was impossible to kill them all in a short time.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield-
"Haa... Haa..."
Protected by a dozen or so female mages, Katerea stood on the surface of the sea, her face pale as she continued to pant heavily. Using the Longinus "Demonic Beast Creation- Annihilation Maker" shared by Tenraku, she had created thousands of demonic beasts in a row, and even Katerea felt overwhelmed.
When she thought about how her master could effortlessly create tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Demonic Beasts, Katerea once again experienced the man's power.
But that was exactly what qualified him to be her master, and she was willing to bet everything on him!
"Ophis-Sama, my magic power is almost gone. Could you grant me some more power?" Katerea asked, looking at Ophis, who was sitting not far away, eating snacks with Lilith.
"Okay." After some thought, Ophis replied, then released a small black snake that entered Katerea's body.
A pattern of the devouring snake appeared on the back of her hand, and feeling the continuously surging power within her, Katerea's face was filled with ecstasy.
"It's coming out, the power is flowing out!"
"Spread out, continue on, for the sake of our great master!"
A mass of darkness unfolded beneath Katerea's feet, and hundreds of Demonic Beasts immediately broke free from the darkness, rushing into the battlefield to tear through the monsters alongside them...
