Sebastian appeared slowly. At the sa ti, more than ten hooded “rcenaries” erged from the surroundings, encircling the group.
Despite their rcenary disguises and concealed appearances, the Blood Demon Priest recognized their true identities through his keen sense of bloodline power.
“Nez Clan!”
The group’s eyes narrowed.
At this mont, they realized their movents had been exposed and they were ambushed in advance!
When did it happen?
The Blood Demon Priest’s expression turned solemn.
But now wasn’t the ti to ponder this question. Seeing the two extraordinary individuals blocking them front and back, and the Nez bloodbornes starting to cast binding spells from different positions, he tore off his disguise without hesitation, grabbed his blood staff, and shouted.
“Eudoxia! Break through!”
“Roar…!”
With a resounding dragon roar, the girl’s form instantly transford into a majestic black dragon.
“Heh, trying to escape? Too late!”
Yurst chuckled.
As he spoke, he and Sebastian rushed towards the Blood Demon Priest and the Black Dragon attempting to break through. Simultaneously, the surrounding “rcenaries” raised their magical instrunts and chanted rhythmically.
Crimson radiance rose, dimming the sky and forming a massive dark cage, enclosing everyone within.
The battle erupted quickly. Yurst and Sebastian engaged the Blood Demon Priest and the Black Dragon from both sides.
The clash between four individuals, whose power approached or exceeded that of the Blazing Sun, was incredibly destructive.
In an instant, the magical energy within a kiloter radius beca as turbulent as boiling water. The clouds churned, winds howled, crimson flas intertwined with purple-black magic, and black dragon breath descended, engulfing the surrounding forest in an apocalyptic scene.
The Nez bloodbornes, after successfully casting their binding spells, quickly retreated from the battlefield.
The Blazing Sun was a qualitative leap, possessing imnse destructive power. Despite their strength being around Second Tier Silver Moon, they had to avoid this level of conflict.
At the battle’s center, Yurst fought the black dragon alone, while Sebastian tangled with the Blood Demon Priest. Within a few rounds, the balance began to tilt.
The Blood Demon Priest was not a Blazing Sun. Without the black dragon, he was clearly no match for Sebastian, almost being completely suppressed.
The black dragon was in a similar situation. Though theoretically capable of taking on several of the sa tier alone, Yurst keenly observed that this black dragon’s combat power was much weaker than expected.
With his keen bloodborne senses, Yurst quickly identified the issue.
“Heh, Miss Black Dragon, you don’t seem to be in good condition. I think I sll dragon blood…”
“You… are injured?”
The black dragon did not respond, continuing to fight with full concentration.
However, the black cat clutched in her claws let out heart-wrenching screams as he was tossed around.
The stone in his mouth had flown out during the battle, but he remained tightly bound, being flung around by Eudoxia, experiencing the wind’s force as the black dragon dove and rose.
The spells cast by both sides barely missed the cat’s head, with one particularly close call almost shaving off his fur.
He scread.
“Hey, hey, hey! You fight your fight! Why carry around like this?”
“Slow down! Slow down! Crap! Ugh… I’m gonna be sick…”
Yurst frowned at the shouting black cat.
For so reason, watching this pitiful creature and hearing its hoarse, curse-laden cries gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
He was curious why they were carrying a talking cat, but now wasn’t the ti to dwell on it. His focus remained on the black dragon.
With the strength of Blazing Sun, Yurst deftly fought the black dragon while observing her.
Suddenly, he seed to recall sothing and said,
“Now that I think about it, I rember an old story from many years ago…”
“If I’m not mistaken, it was twenty years ago. There was an incident of a black dragon attacking the city in Eastern Yunette.”
“Though the rcenaries eventually drove the dragon away, it ca at a great cost, with two Blazing Sun rcenaries losing their lives…”
“Of course, the black dragon was also seriously injured.”
“Later, several major rcenary groups in Eastern Yunette hunted this black dragon, but it managed to escape.”
“And the last place this black dragon was seen was at the border of Eastern Yunette and the Crescent Kingdom…”
Finishing his story, Yurst squinted at the Black Dragon Eudoxia.
“Miss Black Dragon, have you heard this old tale?”
Eudoxia didn’t respond, remaining focused on the battle.
Yurst shrugged, then changed the topic.
“Miss Black Dragon, I don’t understand why you would team up with the Blood Demon Cult. Don’t you know these guys are masters of deceit and betrayal?”
Still, no response from the black dragon.
“Boring.”
Yurst pouted and continued the fight.
The battle grew more intense.
Ultimately, Sebastian and Yurst’s side was stronger. Throughout the battle, the Blood Demon Priest and the Black Dragon Eudoxia made several attempts to break through but were blocked each ti.
Finally, after another failed attempt, Yurst found an opportunity and pierced the black dragon’s wing with his sword.
Dark energy spread over the black dragon, causing her to cry out and plumt from the sky.
“Damn!”
The black cat yelped in a strangely learned manner, then was promptly squashed underneath.
anwhile, Sebastian also seized a mont of distraction from the Blood Demon Priest and slashed his sword, severing the priest’s right arm holding the blood staff.
The Blood Demon Priest grunted, losing his ability to float, and fell beside the black dragon.
“This is the end.”
Sebastian and Yurst ended their levitation spells, landing in front of the two.
Seeing them closing in, the Blood Demon Priest’s eyes flickered.
Suddenly, he smiled eerily.
“Yes, this is the end.”
He took out a blurry statue from his robe, which was already tainted with a deep black hue.
He swiftly turned and thrust the statue into the Black Dragon’s body.
The statue lted like liquid, rging into the Black Dragon.
A dark-red radiance spread over the black dragon, making her growl in pain.
The Blood Demon Priest’s gaze changed completely.
He stared at the Black Dragon, his eyes cold and fervent.
“Eudoxia, my Lord will rember your sacrifice.”
“Beco… a part of my Lord.”
The next mont, the Black Dragon’s aura changed.
