Chapter 1336: Eve 2

The tremendous explosion instantly spread around the entire cave. Huge mushroom clouds accompanied the terrifying red shock waves as they spread out to the surroundings.

Gerdmos paled, completely stunned by the self-destruction of the most powerful Divine Weapon.

“Plague!” He bellowed. He was already heavily injured from the battle with Fehra’s Incarnation and so he was unable to use half of his strength anymore. Now after being hit by such a powerful Divine Weapon, his injuries immediately increased from the original fifty percent to an eighty percent of damage. Even the sacred fire was severely impacted and lost half of its strength.

This was an extremely powerful Divine Weapon. Even if he was one of the three Monarchs, he would not have been able to withstand the impact from the immense shock waves of the Divine Power and was fatally injured.

After being duped and looking at the ‘Divine Weapons’ shooting across the sky, he dared not approach and could only wave his arms to use fire clouds to block them.

“Doomsday Rain of Fury!” From the other side, a red-robed man opened his arms, the light of Divinity radiated from him, turning into red lights that shot into the sky.

The sky rumbled and clumps of dense, red clouds appeared quickly...

Boom!

A red meteorite fell from the sky and crashed onto the ground.

A second one followed, then a third... Countless meteors and meteorites fell from the sky and blasted as they crashed onto the gray-black plains.

The plains that were already rugged before became even bumpier with more pits.

Under the bombardment of the meteor and meteorites, some of the Divine Weapons that were scattered around straight away disappeared into phantoms, and some revealed their real true forms. They were all fleeing dragons, while some others were indeed Semi-Divine Weapons or Divine Weapons.

Garen was amongst them as well. An enormous meteorite fell right in front of him and with a bang, the huge shockwave made his body receded at least a few meters backward.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a red-robed figure appeared before him. Gerdmos was holding a shrunken Dragon of Disaster by its neck, blocking his path with a ferocious look.

The intense blood breath and scorching Energy Field immediately fell on Garen.

Boom!

He suddenly felt his body sink, his body value that was already weakened by half dropped once again.

“The sixth one.” Gerdmos had a calm expression as he reached out to grab his neck.

An invisible pressure locked onto Garen’s neck, making him breathless and weak.

“It’s Soul Coercion!!” He was shocked. Such a situation could only occur when the gap between souls was too large. The power of Gods, the power of Divine Souls, he never knew what kind of nature they were.

Now that he was truly facing it for the very first time, he immediately understood that this was simply an ultimate sublimate soul. However, what made it different from a True Soul was the state of the sacred fire of the soul that had the power of pure faith. They used that faith as a mean to strengthen themselves, unlike True Soul who just absorbed all the power of a soul.

Faith was only a pure part of the strength of a soul.

Gerdmos grabbed onto Garen with a surge of an inexplicable aura of death.

Garen had a hunch that the second he touched this hand, his entire body including his Soul and Fighting Soul would be instantly taken away by the other person.

But he could watch as the arm inched closer and closer, unable to defend himself.

The difference between a Level-Twelve and a true God was indeed too big. Even after Gerdmos was heavily injured and he could not even unleash twenty percent of his powers, the changes of the nature of the strength was far beyond Garen, even as a Middle Demon Lord, could handle.

As the huge hand got closer and was about to touch the scales at Garen’s throat.

“Ah!!!”

Right at this moment, Garen suddenly shrieked.

A black necklace around his neck exploded by itself, black smoke immediately broke out of it and wrapped Gerdmos’ right arm.

“Ann!” Gerdmos’ expression changed and he immediately retreated.

But it was too late.

An exceedingly gigantic dragon arm shot out from the black smoke and grabbed onto his right arm.

“Gus...”

Ann’s seemingly perfect figure loomed behind the black smoke, but the voice that sounded from him was clearly a man’s.

“No! No no no!!! Ann, that’s not me!!!” Gerdmos’ face twisted more with fear.

He yelled as he started running towards the back.

Drained, Garen looked at him escaping. The black smoke that turned into a dragon arm held him tight and soon disappeared from sight.

Not long after, gigantic transparent distortions blasted on the distant plain and the sphere-shaped distortion lasted for more than ten seconds before slowly dissipating.

“Go!” Suddenly, a brass-colored dragon claw grabbed him and lifted him up before flying away swiftly into the distance.

It was Plague the Brass Dragon!

With a solemn expression, it held onto Garen as it flew, turning back every now and then to check behind.

“That was just a projection of Ann, it won’t hold him back much longer. We have to leave immediately!”

Garen felt weak to the point that he could barely open his eyelids.

The struggle just now seemed to consume much of his strength.

“Why... did you save me?” He asked softly.

“Why? That necklace of yours represents the subordinates approved by Ann. Saving you is equivalent to giving him face. Among the three Monarchs, Ann is known as the most brutal dragon of killing. Once when he was furious, he swallowed up billions of creatures in just one breath. But because he comprehended the space-time laws too well, Fehra and the other Gods could only suppress him, not kill him, because if they kill him now, he would be able to reverse history and return from the past.”

Garen’s eyes opened wide. This was the first time he had heard of such a strong description of Ann from another dragon race.

Brass Dragon said in a hushed tone.

“Even plenty of powerful existences don’t even know how many Ann truly exists. He’s able to pull all three of his figures to the same space-time. He’s the most powerful Dragon of Disaster in history, and the most legendary dragon of the Dragons of Shadows. Your nature has a trace of a Shadow Dragon which can break free under the imprisonment of Divine Power because the Divine Imprisonment is just a kind of imprisonment and you Shadow Dragons are best at imprisonments.”

He cast a glance at Garen.

“Seems like you don’t know anything at all.”

Garen just recovered a little bit of strength.

“He didn’t tell me much.” He could see that Plague the Brass Dragon was really trying to save him.

There was a change in Brass Dragon’s eyes. “They’re catching up!”

Garen sensed a threat rapidly approaching him from behind.

Looking back at the sky behind him, a gigantic Red Dragon was flying towards them. There was a trace of bloodlust in the dragon’s eyes.

“There are a few powerful disciples of Ann in the Abyss, let’s pray that we can survive till their arrival.” Brass Dragon finally spoke the truth. He rescued Garen due to his relationship with Ann, which was a good enough reason for Ann’s disciples from the Abyss to come to the rescue. What he had been looking for all along was this unknown rescue.

Garen understood and no longer spoke so he tried to restore his strength.

His current body attributes had been weakened mainly because of a ray of Fehra’s Divine Power that broke his Level-Nine spell immunity.

Facing these Divine Power natured attacks, he almost had no strength of resistance at all. Even with a stronger physique or if the other party weakened, his attributes were weakened by half so it was completely meaningless.

“Seems like I must study divinity and establish the Wizard Tower...” Garen had made up his mind. Facing the suppression of Divine Power this time around, his powerful physical strength did not do him justice at all.

Turning back to see, Gerdmos was chasing behind.

“We can’t let this guy catch up with us.”

As Brass Dragon flew, he threw something behind.

Boom!

The object exploded and turned into a giant made of elemental gas. Right when the Elemental Giant raised his fists preparing to smash downwards, Gerdmos’ mouthful of Dragon Breath pierced through the giant’s stomach, and his entire body started burning and slowly dissipated.

Brass Dragon started throwing all sorts of treasures messily behind. They had the most extreme self-destructive power that made those treasures unleash its great powers, but this kind of explosion could only be used once as it would self-destruct.

It was only a mere dozen seconds of effort and Gerdmos was getting closer and closer, and each time Brass Dragon threw out a treasure, it was just to block him.

Within the dozen seconds, he had already thrown out various high-leveled treasure, all of which were top-notch treasures that could make any non-Divine creature envious.

But Brass Dragon still threw everything out freely.

“If you have any tricks up your sleeves you better use it quickly! If we continue like this, we’re going to die!” Brass Dragon rushed Garen in the midst of pressing affairs.

Garen closed his eyes for a moment, turned his back and opened his eyes suddenly.

Whoosh whoosh!

Two white-blue rays burst out and shot towards Gerdmos.

It was the Poisonous Eye, which was also currently Garen’s most powerful attack.

He only tried its effect but unfortunately, when the two rays landed on Gerdmos’ body, they did not even leave a single mark on the scales.

He did not even need to defend an attack that could actually hurt a Level-Thirteen.

“Only Divine Power natured attacks can hurt him!” Brass Dragon explained impatiently. “Whatever Ann gave you in the past, just take it out quickly and use it! If he catches up with us, we’ll all die!”

Whoosh!

Just then, a huge fiery wing swooped by him. Although Brass Dragon dodge in time, half of his body was burnt black.

Garen did not possess anything that Ann gave him, he had not seen Ann for a very long time already.

“I’m the only hope of the Dragons of Disaster!!” Gerdmos yelled from behind. “If all of us merged as one, then we can truly become the greatest Dragon of Abyss!! All of you can’t escape! You can’t escape!!!”

He seemed to have gone absolutely crazy.

*******************

In the endless, pitch dark canyon.

At the center of the ancient matrix, under the hazy halo, Ann’s eyes that were closed tightly slowly opened.

“Gus... why did you force me... I didn’t mean to, I really don’t...”

She mumbled repeatedly, helplessness and sorrow all over her expression.

Slowly, a black obscure black ring appeared before her that displayed Gerdmos who was chasing after Garen and Brass Dragon.

The sadness in her eyes deepened.

“Gus... why did you forget everything I said back then?”

As she muttered, she held out her hand and scoffed.

Her slender hand went straight into the Light Screen image and grabbed Gerdmos.

“No!!! No!! Ann! It’s not my fault!! Let go of me!!” Gerdmos was only as big as a worm in Ann’s palm.

“We used to be so in love with each other...” Ann spoke sadly, “I loved you so much...”

She closed her eyes and popped Gerdmos in her mouth.

Chomp chomp...

The crisp chewing accompanied by the screams of Gerdmos and the faint forces of Divine Power disappeared in Ann’s mouth.

She chewed slowly as if she was tasting the last taste of her once good friend.

“No!!!” Gerdmos turned out to be not completely dead yet, his sacred fire let out a heartbreaking scream till the very last moment.

Gulp.

But everything disappeared along Ann’s gentle swallow.

The Light Screen vanished, and Ann sighed. However, it did not give off the feeling of falsehood, but it was like he really lost a true friend, a former lover.

“It’s you again... hooligans...” Ann’s half-closed eyes opened wide. “If it weren’t for you guys, Gus wouldn’t have to die. Everything is your fault. Seems like I will have to have a good chat with all of you ...”
