Chapter 751: Chapter 517: The Nine-headed Demon Serpent Awakens and Obliterates the Angel of Death
Frost Energy in the air began to converge and expand at a frantic pace!
In just a few breaths.
A colossal, incomparably ferocious serpent, over a kilometer long and formed from Frost Energy, coiled itself in the sky!
The Ice Wind Demon Serpent!
With it acting as a Shield, Raylo would at least have enough Power to escape this dangerous swamp while he observed.
Raylo, holding the little ones, leaped from Lightning’s back onto the broad back of the Ice Wind Demon Serpent.
"Lightning, come over and rest too."
Raylo called to Lightning.
"ROAR."
Lightning’s massive body rapidly shrank amidst a flash of electricity, eventually reverting to a palm-sized blue kitten.
It wobbled as it jumped through the air, and Raylo caught it with one hand.
Raylo stood atop the head of the kilometer-long Ice Wind Demon Serpent, his robes fluttering in the fierce wind. His gaze was like a torch, peering far into the depths of the ever-changing swamp.
The Ice Wind Demon Serpent’s enormous body coiled ten thousand meters high in the sky, like a floating, moving mountain range.
The Catastrophe-Level pressure it emanated formed an invisible barrier, completely isolating it from the surrounding world.
Standing upon the serpent’s head, Raylo was like a man in the eye of a storm. None of the chaos or turmoil of the outside world could affect him in the slightest.
It was a safe vantage point.
His gaze pierced through the vast distance, fixed on the center of the Jade Swamp.
There, clouds and winds churned.
A world-ending battle of Catastrophe-Level proportions had fully erupted.
The first thing to meet the eye was... a sheet of golden light that blotted out the sky and the Sun.
That light was sacred and domineering.
It was as if a golden Sun had risen in the center of the swamp.
Without a doubt, that was the Power of the Six-winged Angel of Death.
It seemed to have recklessly unleashed its Divine Power, attempting to purify the swamp and all the filth within it.
In the area enveloped by the golden light, space itself was violently twisting and boiling.
The swamp below was evaporating and vaporizing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, just as that golden "Sun" was about to expand to its absolute limit...
BOOM!
That terrifying psychic ripple, still fresh in Raylo’s memory, erupted once more from the swamp’s deepest depths!
This was... a storm of terrifying will that swept across the entire swamp!
Where the storm passed, the golden light that had been expanding madly, as if to devour everything, came to a sudden halt!
Immediately after.
Before Raylo’s astonished eyes...
In the center of the swamp...
The terrifying phantoms of nine enormous, ferocious serpent heads covered in jet-black scales slowly rose from the churning mud and toxic miasma!
Each serpent head was hundreds of meters in size!
They each had a different form.
Some had mouths burning with raging flames.
Some had eyes that were two gray vortexes exuding an aura of death.
Some had hideous Bone Spikes growing from their heads, emitting a poisonous mist.
...
The nine serpent heads represented nine completely different types of destructive Power that had already reached the level of a Law!
And these... were merely its heads!
When the nine serpent heads had fully risen from the swamp’s depths...
A serpentine body, as vast and undulating as a mountain range, also began to slowly reveal the tip of the iceberg from beneath the expansive swamp!
The Nine-headed Demon Serpent Hydra!
This master of the swamp, which had slumbered for over a thousand years and seemed to exist only in ancient legends, had finally been fully awakened by the provocation of an outsider!
It was awake!
When its nine pairs of enormous eyes, filled with endless majesty and indifference, opened simultaneously and looked toward the golden "Sun" in the sky...
The entire world seemed to fall into absolute, deathly silence.
The wind stopped.
The clouds dispersed.
Even the flow of the air itself seemed to be completely frozen by this terrifying will.
"ROAR!"
Nine roars filled with boundless fury erupted from the nine hideous serpent mouths at once!
The roars were not mere sound.
They were nine distinct currents of terrifying, Catastrophe-Level Power of Law, weaving together into a... world-ending Elemental Storm!
Flame, Frost, Thunderbolt, poison, death, earth, hurricane...
Nine types of destructive Power filled the distant sky in that instant.
RUMBLE!
The entire Jade Swamp trembled and wailed violently as it was swept by the Ninefold Storm!
The earth cracked, and space shattered!
Bearing the brunt of this world-ending power was the insufferably arrogant Six-winged Angel of Death in the sky!
Facing this world-ending Ninefold Storm...
The Angel of Death finally felt the threat of its own demise.
Its body, formed from light, suddenly erupted with a hundred times more light and heat than before!
"The Holy Light is eternal!"
A grand, cold voice echoed between heaven and earth.
It raised the Holy Light Greatsword in its hand high.
An immense golden Light Shield, made of pure Light Energy and exuding a sacred and immortal aura, firmly protected its body within.
BOOM!
The Ninefold Storm slammed into the golden Holy Light Shield!
In that instant...
Raylo felt his vision consumed by nothing but a blinding... white!
His hearing vanished instantly, replaced by a deafening ringing in his ears.
Even from a hundred kilometers away, and even under the protection of the Ice Wind Demon Serpent, the aftershocks of the battle still made his heart palpitate and his breath catch in his throat!
He could only judge the terrifying intensity of the distant battle by the slight trembling of the Ice Wind Demon Serpent’s body beneath his feet!
This was no longer a simple clash of Magic and energy.
It was... a direct collision and crushing of Law against Law!
A few short seconds passed.
When Raylo’s vision finally began to recover from the blinding white light...
He saw... a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.
In the sky, the Chaos Region formed by the Ninefold Elemental Storm was slowly dissipating.
And the massive phantom of the Six-winged Angel of Death still hovered in the same spot.
The golden Light Shield around its body was now covered in spiderweb-like cracks, looking as if it could shatter at any moment.
Its body of light had also dimmed considerably. One of its golden wings had even snapped in the middle, dissolving into a shower of light motes that scattered into the air.
In the sky, the figure of the Six-winged Angel of Death still hovered in the same spot.
The next second...
Its body, like a sand sculpture that had lost all support, suddenly collapsed in a light breeze.
It disintegrated into a sky full of golden motes of light.
Dead.
A genuine, Catastrophe-Level Six-winged Angel of Death.
A terrifying existence capable of defending an entire Kingdom.
From the moment the Nine-headed Demon Serpent awoke to the angel’s complete annihilation...
The entire process took... not even twenty seconds.
Raylo stood dumbfounded on the head of the Ice Wind Demon Serpent, his mind a complete blank.
He had expected the Nine-headed Demon Serpent to be strong.
But he never dreamed it would be... this absurdly powerful!
An instant kill!
’That was a Catastrophe-Level being!’
’And in front of the Nine-headed Demon Serpent... it didn’t even have a chance to fight back!’
’That’s not just simple strength anymore.’
’That was... complete domination!’
He couldn’t imagine it.
’If this monster were to leave the Jade Swamp in its true form, what kind of world-ending horror would that unleash?’
Just as Raylo was still lost in his immense shock, unable to pull himself free...
In the distant sky, among the nine ferocious serpent heads slowly sinking back into the swamp, one pair of eyes—the ones burning with raging flames—seemed to casually sweep a glance in Raylo’s direction.
It was just a single glance.
The mountain-sized body of the Ice Wind Demon Serpent beneath Raylo’s feet trembled violently!
"Go!"
Raylo managed to force a single word from his throat.
He didn’t dare to linger for a second longer.
If he stayed to watch any longer, he had no doubt that the terrifying monster would erase him as easily as crushing an ant.
The Ice Wind Demon Serpent let out a low hiss, its massive body transforming into a streak of ice-blue light as it sped toward Black Stone Territory.
