Chapter 617: Chapter 450: Extending a Hand to Crush a Worm, Great Elder Gu Takes Action
He could sense the violent, chaotic energy contained within the Crystal Stone.
"This..."
"Take it."
Grand Elder Gu shoved the Crystal Stone directly into Raylo’s hand.
The Crystal Stone was bone-chillingly cold in his hand, yet it also carried a searing heat that felt like it could burn his very soul.
The two sensations intertwined, nearly making Raylo fling it from his hand.
"This thing... it can create a madman."
Gu looked at Raylo, his cloudy eyes betraying no emotion.
"A madman infinitely close to Catastrophe Level."
Raylo’s pupils constricted.
’Infinitely close to Catastrophe Level?’
Gu added.
"How you use it is up to you."
With that, he looked away from Raylo and raised his gaze to the sky.
In the sky, the Sea of Thunderbolt formed by the Nine-headed Demon Serpent’s Thunderbolt Clone was still clashing violently with that formless storm Domain.
Deafening roars echoed continuously from deep within the clouds.
"To think a single clone possesses such Power."
Gu’s voice was tinged with an inexplicable sense of wonder.
"Then the Nine-headed Demon Serpent lurking in the depths of this swamp... what must its true form be like?"
At Gu’s words, Raylo also looked up.
Just as Gu said, this was merely a single avatar of the Nine-headed Demon Serpent.
The thought of his recent confrontation with the will of the Nine-headed Demon Serpent cast a heavy shadow over Raylo’s heart.
Just then, the Sea of Thunderbolt in the sky began to churn violently. Then, like an ebbing tide, it rapidly receded toward the horizon and vanished.
The battle was over. The Demon Serpent Avatar had also chosen to retreat.
"ROOOOAR!"
A dragon’s cry that shook the heavens and the earth erupted from above the clouds.
The storm that stretched for a thousand miles across the sky dissipated.
The gathered clouds slowly parted, revealing a stretch of pristine blue sky, but the thousand-meter-long Flowing Wind Giant Dragon was nowhere to be seen.
With the departure of the two terrifying beings, the slaughter on the battlefield approached its end.
The morale of the Snake-man army had completely collapsed.
They let out terrified screams, dropped their Weapons, and turned to flee for their lives toward the depths of the swamp.
"Pursue for one kilometer! Do not get drawn into a prolonged engagement!"
Gaius ordered.
The Knights of the human Allied Army roared in triumph, spurred on their mounts, and began to hunt down the fleeing Snake-men.
On the other side, the Black King let out a sharp screech.
The Demon army, tens of thousands strong, also halted its assault.
They did not pursue the Snake-men, but instead retreated like a receding tide.
As they retreated, these hungry Demons snatched the corpses of Snake-men or their own fallen comrades from the ground, dragging them away as future rations.
The Black King circled once in the air, its cunning dragon eyes giving Raylo a long, deep look. Then, it led its flock of dragons and vanished over the distant horizon.
The Curtain had finally fallen on the brutal battle.
Gaius came to Raylo’s side.
His armor was covered in scratches and bloodstains, his face etched with exhaustion.
"Your Highness, we’ve won."
Gaius’s voice was hoarse.
Gaius’s gaze darted cautiously toward the Giant elder beside Raylo.
Even for this battle-hardened general, a trace of nervousness couldn’t help but appear on his face when confronting Gu.
Before the war, Raylo had promised him they would have the help of a Catastrophe Level being to fight the Demon Serpent Avatar in the Jade Swamp.
What he hadn’t expected was that His Highness had, without a word, managed to summon two powerful Catastrophe Level beings.
This left him profoundly shaken. ’His Highness Raylo’s connections are truly vast.’
