Warlock Ch 224. Undead Dragon
Victoria summoned tendrils of blood, the crimson appendages writhing like serpents, ready to slice Seraphis into ribbons.
But Seraphis… he didn't look scared. No, he laughed again, louder this ti. "Alone? No… the whistle wasn't for them."
Before anyone could ask what he ant, a thunderous roar split the sky.
- ROOOOOAAAARRRR!
The ground trembled beneath their feet. Cassius's eyes widened as he turned toward the horizon. "That doesn't sound friendly."
Damian followed Cassius's gaze, his heart skipping a beat as he saw a massive shadow approaching from the sky. Each beat of its wings sent powerful gusts of wind rippling across the battlefield. It wasn't just big—it was monstrous.
"Oh, co on…" Damian muttered, complaining.
Out of the dark clouds erged a creature of pure nightmare fuel—a massive, skeletal dragon, its bones blackened and scorched, with jagged spikes running down its spine. Faint, eerie green flas flickered in its hollow eye sockets, and decaying flesh clung stubbornly to its fra, oozing dark ichor with each movent. Its wings stretched wide, made of tattered mbrane and bone, each flap sounding like thunder.

Victoria's eyes widened in shock. For the first ti since the battle began, she looked genuinely unnerved. "An… undead dragon? That's forbidden magic."
"Oh, I love that look on your face," Seraphis said, grinning like a madman. He straightened up, the wounds on his body closing at an unnatural rate. Dark veins spread from his neck to his face, pulsing with corrupted energy. "You never expected this, did you? You thought you had cornered."
"You learned forbidden magic just like Varak," Victoria whispered, disbelief coloring her usually composed voice.
"Of course I did." Seraphis's voice was filled with bitter triumph. "In this world… There's nothing more fun than power. And I'll do whatever it takes to get more of it. Sacrifice anything. Even you… my love."
Victoria's expression hardened, but sothing flickered in her eyes—pity, perhaps? Anger? It was hard to tell. "You're insane."
"Maybe." Seraphis stepped forward, his gaze locked onto hers. "I fell in love with you once… but you never looked at . Not the way I wanted. So if I can't have you, I'll have power instead."
Damian grimaced, glancing at Cassius. "Uh… we got a plan for dealing with that thing?" He pointed at the dragon, which was now circling overhead, its glowing eyes locked onto them.
Cassius shrugged. "I was kinda hoping soone else would have an idea."
"Seriously? That's your plan?" Damian groaned. "Great. Just great."
anwhile, Seraphis raised his hands, dark energy swirling around him as he prepared to unleash another spell. The dragon roared again, swooping lower.
"Enough!" Victoria barked, her voice cutting through the chaos like a blade. Her blood tendrils lashed out toward Seraphis, but before they could reach him, the dragon unleashed its [Necrotic Fla Breath].
A wave of green fire erupted from its maw, consuming the tendrils and forcing everyone to scatter.
"Cover!" Evelyn shouted, throwing up a shimring barrier just in ti to shield them from the worst of the blast.
Victoria clenched her fists, her mind racing. 'I can't handle both of them at once…'
Seraphis's laughter echoed across the battlefield as he stepped closer to the dragon, his corrupted aura intensifying. "You can't win, Victoria. Not this ti."
Damian took a deep breath, forcing himself to stand despite the burning pain in his chest. He glanced at Evelyn and Cassius, who were both waiting for his lead.
"Alright…" Damian muttered, cracking his knuckles. "Ti to pull sothing out of my ass."
Cassius gave him a sideways glance, clearly unimpressed. "Like what? Condoms?"
For a second, there was silence. Then, without missing a beat, Damian burst out laughing. "Hahaha, nice joke, Cas."
Evelyn groaned, pinching the bridge of her nose as if that would help her sanity. "You guys are joking in this kind of situation? Seriously?"
Cassius shrugged, completely unfazed. "Relax, we're not going to die."
"Confident much?" Evelyn shot back, raising an eyebrow.
"Yup." Cassius gave her a calm, smug look. "I an it. We're not dying here. Not today, not tomorrow, not anyti soon."
With that, Cassius raised his hand, and all his current summons shimred briefly before dissolving into glowing particles. "Ti to bring out the big guy."
Damian's grin widened as he caught on. "Yup. Sa here. Let's go all in."
He closed his eyes, focusing on the burning power of the shard embedded in his chest. His mana surged as he raised his hand. "Crimson Devourer, I summon you…"
A crackling crimson portal tore open in front of him, and from its depths erged a massive beast—easily twice the size of a warhorse. Its body radiated a blood-red glow, its claws dripping with raw crimson energy. The air itself seed to tremble as the summon let out a deafening roar.

anwhile, Cassius didn't waste any ti. With a casual flick of his wrist, he called forth his own summon. A swirling vortex of dark light ford beside him, and out stepped a towering armored figure wielding a massive greatsword. Its presence alone was overwhelming, radiating pure power.

Valorian raised his greatsword, and let out a thunderous roar that shook the ground beneath them.
As if on cue, the three of them teleported to the safe distance and watched the fight from afar.
Across the battlefield, the three monsters clashed in a spectacle of raw power. The undead dragon reared back, its glowing maw opening wide as it unleashed [Necrotic Breath], a dark-green blast of energy laced with decaying magic. The blast scorched the ground, leaving behind a blackened, rotting wasteland wherever it touched.
