Necromancer Of The Shadows

The peak Rank Five demon couldn't believe, or rather, he refused to believe what the vice commander of the Demons just said.

Baphomet, their emperor was dead?

Nonsense!

Baphomet was not an ordinary Rank Six Core Evolver. He was one of the five monarchs, and his strength was far above that of other rank six core evolvers.

Even though Eldrakar was strong, in the eyes of the demons, it was impossible for him to kill Baphomet.

The vice commander had directly transmitted his voice into the peak Rank Five demon's mind, so others didn't hear that Baphomet's soul lamp was broken.

But looking at the demon's pale face, experienced onlookers could guess that something significant must have happened and that what the light dragon said might be true.

When the people of other factions, who were watching the scene from a distance saw the peak Rank Five demon's pale face, they immediately informed the leaders of their factions about what was happening.

Upon receiving this information, all the factions were thrown into chaos. However, most of the top-level leaders didn't believe that Baphomet was dead.

Upon receiving this information, all the factions were thrown into chaos. However, most of the top-level leaders didn't believe that Baphomet was dead.

Others might not know about Baphomet's strength, but all the top leaders knew that besides being powerful, the demon monarch was also very cunning. They couldn't imagine him being killed by Eldrakar.

Although most people thought he wasn't dead, there were also some who believed the dragon wasn't lying.

The reason for this was the destruction of the Tomb of the Ancient. According to the people who came out of the Tomb, before it collapsed, they felt powerful auras that were even stronger than the mid-level Rank Six dragon.

While most people didn't recognize the auras that caused the Tomb's destruction, some of the Demons and Dragons who came out of the Tomb recognized that two of the auras belonged to Baphomet and Eldrakar.

Additionally, top-level individuals like Noel Walter and others had seen Baphomet and Eldrakar a few times in the past. So, although they were not one hundred percent certain, they also felt the auras belonged to Eldrakar and Baphomet and that they were fighting in the Tomb.

Though, whether they were fighting each other or another being, they didn't know.

But the fact that Noel and others felt Baphomet and Eldrakar's auras, coupled with the destruction of the Tomb and the peak Rank Five demon's pale face, made many people think the light dragon was telling the truth and that Baphomet was dead.

Upon receiving the news that Baphomet's soul lamp was broken, the peak Rank Five demon's mind stopped working for a moment. He came back to his senses only when he heard the arrogant voice of the dragon.

"Now that your emperor is dead, you demons better surrender to the Dragon Islands, or else..."

When the peak Rank Five demon heard the light dragon's threatening words, his eyes flashed with murderous intent and he shouted loudly.

"You filthy beast, do you think you can fool us? Since you lizards want a war, then we will give it to you."

The peak Rank Five demon signalled the demons who were controlling the defence formation to attack.

All the demons were already angry after hearing the dragon, so the moment they received the signal, all the magic cannons and attack formations lit up simultaneously.

Since it was the capital of the Gehenna Empire, it was obvious that the defence formation was made to hold even against rank six core evolvers.

When the magic cannons and the attack formations were activated, a dangerous aura filled the surroundings and even the people of the other factions who were watching from a distance backed away.

The mid-level Rank Six Dragon also felt a lethal threat from the magic cannons and the attack formations and its giant face turned serious.

The demons could have attacked the dragon the moment it showed up outside the capital, but using magic cannons and formations that can even threaten a Rank Six Core Evolver is not cheap. If possible, the demons wanted to avoid using the magic cannons and attack formations, but now that they had decided to use them, they didn't hold back one bit and activated all the cannons and formations.

Feeling the threat, the light dragon roared loudly and a blinding golden light erupted from its giant body, forming a transparent shield in front of it. At the same time, hundreds of rapidly spinning small magic circles appeared behind it.

"Fire!" The peak Rank Five demon didn't care about the shield and the magic circle and shouted with bloodshot eyes.

The moment the demon shouted...

Boom! Boom! Boom! - - - -

Booming sounds echoed throughout the capital of the Gehenna Empire and tens of magic cannons and attack formation released their attack towards the dragon.

The dragon showed a solemn look upon seeing the attacks released by the cannons and attack formations and the hundreds of magic circles that were spinning behind it shot beams of light to clash against the attack.

The dragon's attack and the attack released by the defence formation collided in an instant and...

BoooooM! BoooooM! BooooM! - - - - -

Blinding explosions shook the area within tens of thousands of kilometres. The outer area of the demon capital was completely destroyed, and everything turned into dust.

The power of the attacks released by the formation and the magic cannons could even threaten a Peak Rank Six Core Evolver, so the light beams released by the light dragon were unable to stop the attacks of the formation and were destroyed after a single clash.

The attacks of the formation continued to move forward and struck the light shield in front of the dragon, destroying it instantly.

Although the shield was destroyed, the power of the attacks released by the formation was greatly weakened after colliding with the light beams and the shield.

The attacks of the formation struck the dragon's body and pushed it a few hundred meters back. Some of its scales shattered because of the attacks, but there was no significant damage. However, what people didn't notice was that the body of the dragon slowly started to turn transparent as if it would soon disappear.

The demons were stunned when they saw the light dragon stop the attacks of the formation with little difficulty and without sustaining any significant injuries.

They were about to attack once again, but suddenly, another aura belonging to a beginner-level Rank Six Core Evolver enveloped the surroundings.

The face of the Rank Five demon lit up when he felt the aura because he recognized it.

Soon, a tall demon wearing black armour appeared in front of the dragon and looked at it with cold eyes.

"Finally, with the help of the defensive formation and Lord Raum, it shouldn't be difficult to kill this dragon," The Peak Rank Five demon muttered, but the next second, he was shocked by the dragon's actions.

Upon seeing the beginner-level Rank Six demon, the dragon's eyes flashed with a strange light, and it shouted in a booming voice.

"The Dragon God Eldrakar commanded me to either destroy the demon capital or make them surrender. Since you refused to submit to Dragon Islands, I will destroy your capital even if I have to die."

The moment the dragon finished speaking, a violent aura erupted, and its body started to swell up.

When the people, including the Rank Six demon, saw what the dragon was doing, their faces turned pale, and they all turned around to run away. But before they could run away...

"All hail the Dragon God, Eldrakar!"

"Victory to the Dragon Islands!"

They heard the mad voice of the light dragon and the next second...

BoooooooooooooooooooooM!

The Rank Six light dragon exploded, throwing the entire demon capital into chaos.
