Chapter 190 Ultimate Dragon Breath
"Roar……!"

The crimson dragon opened its mouth and roared.

The primal roar transformed into a wide-ranging, resounding wave that shook even the air itself.

No, even Hyakusuke was utterly shocked, turning deathly pale.

He was certain that this was a real dragon, unlike those illusory dragons created with magic. It possessed an extraordinary wavelength of demonic energy, almost comparable to the ferocious god's clone he had encountered before.

In the distance, amidst the snow-covered forest, countless startled birds took to the sky, circled once, and then fled in fear and unease into the distance.

At the same time, the land on this snowfield seemed to feel the pressure of the dragon and became silent. The true dragon light, when it roars, has overwhelming power and majesty.

"What is that guy going to do?"

A strong sense of unease arose in Hyakusuke's heart.

He didn't know why this crimson dragon had appeared here, but in the game's storyline, dragons were natural disasters. If it were a dragon species like Yukiyasha-hime that had been deified, that would be one thing, but a wild dragon species that was not restrained in any way was an unimaginable calamity.

Hyakusuke felt a surge of intense panic; he had a strong premonition that something indescribable was about to happen.

Just as his guess was confirmed, the crimson dragon opened its mouth wide, spewing steam from its fang-filled maw. A massive amount of demonic energy began to concentrate at its source, as if it were an entrance to hell.

Crimson flames surged forth, a terrifying beam of light pierced the atmosphere, and a powerful surge of heat and shockwaves swept forth.

—Light exploded in the air.

That's the intensity of the sun.

The extremely high temperature and shock wave from nuclear fusion spewed out from the open mouth of the Crimson Dragon. A terrifying pillar of crimson fire tilted down from the sky, and an explosion occurred at the summit. Instantly, light filled the entire world, and a gale blew in all directions.

boom!
The aftershocks of the high temperature, along with a storm that distorted the atmosphere, blew toward his location. In fact, he was not the target, but was merely caught in the shockwave.

"Dragon's breath at the level of nuclear fusion?"

Hyakusuke's mind was in chaos, and his spiritual energy wavelengths became disordered. To prevent his eyes from going blind, he shut off his vision and used only his spiritual energy to perceive the outside world.

The attack wasn't aimed at him, but the attack unleashed by the red dragon was truly terrifying; it was the ultimate flame of destruction.

Even from this distance, his skin felt like it was being burned by heat radiation, and his whole body was burning with pain.

"It is almost impossible to defend against this level of power using a spell-reversal barrier. No, there is no way to defend against this attack head-on."

This is a power that is beyond the comprehension of the mortal world; it is difficult for any material thing to withstand an attack of this level.

Nuclear flames erupted from the red dragon's mouth, transforming into extremely high temperatures ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of degrees, releasing light and storms that shot out in all directions.

The next instant, the beam of light extended, like a rare divine sword, cleaving the highest peak of the snow mountain in two.

That's right, just like cutting through thin paper, the peak of the snow-capped mountain was sliced ​​open, and the exposed mountain surface shattered in the face of the light.

The mountain's mass evaporated in an instant. Bai Jie sensed the danger; the summit of the snow-capped peak collapsed, triggering an avalanche even more powerful than before.

Without hesitation, he flew into the air, frantically spreading his unusual wings and soaring into the sky.

This decision was undoubtedly correct. In an instant, the Crimson Dragon consumed more than ten or twenty times the magical power of a super-level exorcist and unleashed a spell known as the "Ultimate Dragon Breath" on the Western Continent.

This type of attack is used for concentrated destruction of heavily fortified cities or large-scale legions empowered by demons that have crossed over from Hell.

At the same moment Bai Jie left the snow-capped mountain, a dazzling beam of light sliced ​​through the summit. The air expanded due to the heat, creating an explosion and shockwave. The sound of the explosion traveled far and wide across the vast mountains and forests, and in all directions.

At the same time, the rocks and soil at the top of the torn mountain peak turned into lava, and blood-red lava flowed out from the collapsed peak along with the surrounding collapsed snow.

Avalanches, lava flows, and mountain collapses caused by the loss of massive mass formed a destructive triple symphony.

The snow-capped peak suffered a chain reaction of damage; part of its summit was sheared off, and its height was altered.

Large amounts of rocks, snow, and lava slid down into the valley below, the deep bass of the collapse echoing from afar at the foot of the mountain.

The trees near the foot of the mountain, though not directly hit by the red dragon's breath, were instantly engulfed in flames by the aftershocks, lava, or heat radiation.

Sporadic wildfires broke out in the forest, with sparks flying everywhere. As a result, the few animals that lived in the forest fled in droves due to the loud noises, impacts, and wildfires.

At the same time, the beam of light slowly shrank, then gradually became a line, and finally disappeared completely.

The red dragon stopped breathing, but the peak became shorter.

Bai Jie's face grew increasingly pale. Dragons were indeed the most powerful beings in the world, the kings who could stand at the top of the food chain.

A single breath can carve through a mountain and change its height. If a nuclear fusion-level breath were directed at a forest below, it would be enough to turn this sea of ​​trees into a wasteland. This is an attack that can "change" the terrain, a change in the literal sense.

"If this attack had been fired directly at me... there would have been no way to block it."

Suddenly, Bai Jie realized something, and his face turned astonished.

—Wait a minute, where did Yoru and Ayaka go?
A strong sense of foreboding began to grow stronger. He suddenly looked up at the red dragon in the sky, a feeling of panic rising in his heart.

"……No way?"

His heart was ice-cold.

Speaking of which, Ye Ming's spiritual energy wavelength just now was transmitted from the direction of the attack—

Could it be that they were also caught in that attack?

Hyakusuke subconsciously prepared to rush in that direction, and just then, his gaze fell upon the center of the collapsed mountain peak, the area that had been hit by the nuclear flames, where a terrifying hole had appeared.

"……Hole?"

Baijie frowned.

He hadn't made any move until now, because he was overwhelmed by the opponent's overwhelming demonic aura, making him unable to take any reasonable action.

The nuclear fusion beam of light breath spewed out by the red dragon instilled fear in him from the bottom of his heart. The "ultimate dragon breath" is known in the setting as a "near-god strike", which is almost the same as the power wielded by a god who descends to earth.

In Europe, it was seen as a divine punishment, and only now has his mind recovered from the shock of the terrifying destructive power it brought.

No, they should both be alright.

He calmed down and tried to capture the spiritual energy wavelengths of Yoru and Ayaka. The sisters' spiritual energy wavelengths had become weak. Of course, this could be due to the effects of the violent explosion and collapse just now, which caused the field to become chaotic.

'However, they should be alright. Their auras have only weakened, but their life force hasn't been lost... It seems the previous attack didn't directly affect them, or perhaps they escaped unscathed.'

After sensing the wavelength of spiritual energy, he confirmed that the two sisters were safe and sound, and breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Bai also found himself in danger. He looked at the crimson dragon hovering in the air and wondered if it had noticed him.

A demon of this level should have even more acute senses than I do, so it's unlikely that it wouldn't be completely unaware of what's happening on my side.

However, the Crimson Dragon, being inherently too powerful, sees itself as nothing more than a very weak insect, and even if it discovers this, it won't care much.

With this in mind, he carefully observed from a distance and did not choose to take any radical action. Although the red dragon in the sky regarded him as just an ant, if he acted recklessly, he might be regarded as an enemy and then be blasted into dust by a breath attack.

"But why is this thing here? What does it, or rather, the person who controls it, want to do?" With this in mind, he looked at the large hole in the snow mountain again—no, it shouldn't be a hole gouged out by flames, it was a hole that already existed inside the mountain.

If it were just a big hole, that would be one thing, but he also vaguely saw a giant-like skeleton inside the hole.

"The Grand Master?"

Bai Jie immediately thought of the Great Master Tai.

This is a rare type of giant among the monster races in the game "Oborozuki no Ake". However, he also noticed that the giant's corpse had a pair of demon horns.

"—Is it a giant demon?"

His heart was filled with doubt.

Inside the large cavern inside the mountain, there seemed to be the skeleton of a ghost that had been dead for a long time sitting inside; it was a rather eerie and enormous creature.

Bai Jie couldn't imagine how powerful this great demon must have been in life. Although it was now an inanimate object, it must have possessed unfathomable power when it was alive.

'I understand... the dragon's appearance must be for this corpse!?'

At that moment, the red dragon also made a move. It spewed out white steam from its head and extended a claw with five hooked fingers, grasping a glowing pearl.

Suddenly, seven-colored light radiated from the pearl, and these rays spread across the sky like a flood.

hum!
The pearl in the dragon's claw began to generate unusual fluctuations, its seven-colored light swirling like a kaleidoscope.

From the radiant jewel, sixty-four glowing chains extended out, forming a chain of light that stretched and grew longer from the void, connecting to the ghost's corpse.

"Could this guy's goal be this ghost's corpse!?"

Bai Jie, who was located at a great distance, could sense that it was some kind of binding technique.

"It is a higher-level spell than spells like Binding Gold, but the amount of energy it requires is too enormous."

He didn't know what the intention was, but the red dragon's intention was clearly aimed at the great demon hidden inside the mountain.

What should I do?
In the instant he hesitated, the sixty-four glowing chains exploded in the void, the chains of light shattering into fragments of light.

Is this a rejection?

On the head of the red dragon sat a young man. He was a slender man who looked to be around twenty years old, with white hair mixed in with his hair.

The blurry figure on the red dragon head that Bai Jie observed was this young man. His attire was also strange. He didn't look like someone from this era. This thin young man wore a pure white shirt and carefully tied a tie around his neck.

A long suit jacket was slung over his shoulder, its sleeves fluttering in the wind. The young man was sitting in a Western-style chair.

This is an exquisitely crafted chair, clearly an imported item. The young man sits on it as if it were his own business, legs crossed, his left hand open to an old, worn book.

The book is a Western book with a black leather cover, and its title is "The Dark Volume of Asophkas".

He looked up from the pages of the book, glancing casually at the distant skeleton of the demon.

"...That Oni-hime is quite persistent. It seems she intends to ignore my invitation as well?"

His thin lips spasmed to both sides, revealing a mocking, distorted expression. It was a very—no, a cruel…yet somewhat happy smile.

"Then, we'll have to resort to a slightly tougher approach."

'By the way, Lady Ziyue…'

The crimson dragon glanced into the distance and spoke to the young man on its head.

There's a strange little bug nearby... Should I take care of it while I'm at it?

It was the voice of a woman with a calm and composed personality, and an elegant tone.

“No need~”

Zi Yue smiled slightly.

"This part is also within my calculations, and it remains a constant probability, so there's no need to worry about it."

He said calmly, "The mission is still the priority. We need to retrieve the Ghost Princess's remains first. After all, this is a 'pre-arranged matter,' and that is more important."

"clear."

The crimson dragon nodded silently in its heart, and the pearl held in its claws once again released a strong seven-colored light.

Sixty-four chains shot out rapidly, piercing through the demon skeleton hidden in the cave. At that very moment, a massive barrier instantly opened up from the large hole in the mountain's belly, which was also the demon skeleton.

"...A curse-returning barrier?"

Baijie was dumbfounded.

This wasn't the first time he'd seen a curse-reversal barrier.

In fact, Hyakusuke himself was able to use the power of the armor to generate a curse-reversal barrier.

However, he had never seen such a massive curse reversal barrier before.

From within the skeleton of the demon, a strong demonic aura arose, an aura like black miasma, overflowing into the atmosphere and forming a vast barrier that covered the entire mountain.

The chains of light that struck the barrier shattered once more, and a crack appeared in the orb on the dragon's claw.

'Unbelievable!?'

The crimson dragon also cried out in surprise from the words, its golden pupils reflecting its astonishment.

'Although I know that the Ghost Princess of the Heavenly Prison's Four Thoughts of Inversion was a powerful demon king in life, she should have been dead for 150 years. Can she still withstand my power after death?'

"There must have been quite a bit of residue left behind before his death."

Zi Yueshi was unimpressed. He casually tossed out the ancient book in his hand, a book so precious it could cause bloodshed. The book instantly disintegrated in mid-air, turning into particles of light.

At the same time, he snapped his fingers with his right hand.

Several beams of light shot out.

The light began to connect, and from the ghost's skeleton, spikes of white light shot out. The powerful demon king, who had died long ago, emitted white light from the bones of his neck, chest, hands, and feet.

The generated chains of light transformed into countless white spikes, crisscrossing endlessly across the corpse of the great demon.

In the blink of an eye, the Light Binding Chains bound hundreds of parts of the Ghost Princess's body, and countless light spikes pierced through the bones.

—With a few cracking sounds, the curse-reversal barrier cracked and broke from the inside.

Zi Yueshi withdrew his right hand, and this time, another book appeared in his palm. He casually opened the book with his left hand. It was an ancient book with a title printed in gold foil, titled "Lisbon Nautical Diary".

"Even if the Demon Princess were still alive, she couldn't possibly be my match, let alone the fact that she's already dead—"
