Chapter 1623: Legion?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Excruciating wails came from Calamity Dragon once more.
As it echoed in the sky, the legion of Dragon’s Spirits around its body swarmed towards Devil Kieran, as if the wail was an attack signal.
Fung!
Dragon’s Spirits swarmed over Kieran like a cloud of locusts, surrounding him from every direction.
His Devil form, which stood 8 meters tall, was like a pea in front a watermelon when compared to Calamity Dragon in size; it was insignificant, likewise the Dragon’s Spirits to Devil Kieran.
Devil Kieran took a deep breath and raised his [Ruthless Beheader Flaming Sword] up high.
A horizontal sweep from left to right was then performed, the three nearest Dragon’s Spirits were split in half from the waist.
The flaming sword swung back from right to left and took out three more Dragon’s Spirits. This second sweep triggered the effect of Devil Overlord.
Kaboom!
Starting from the sweep, a burst of flame engulfed a 15 meter radius in front of Kieran.
Rank III and above flames inflicted quite the damage to most of the Dragon’s Spirits. The splashing fire, which was also in Advanced Rank, was troublesome enough to hold them back as well.
But none of those were as important as the numerous Dragon’s Spirits in front of Kieran.
There were countless Dragon’s Spirits swarming towards Kieran, the fire that burned in a 15 meter radius catching every single Dragon’s Spirit.
The weaker ones were burned to cinders by the Devil Flame, the stronger ones managed to hold on but welcomed a slash from the head.
Within a breath’s time, Devil Kieran was able to sweep his surroundings clean of Dragon’s Spirits but the swarm wasn’t frightened or scared, growling frenziedly and continuing their charge at Kieran.
This time, the strongest three of the bunch jumped in front of the charging swarm, acting as the blade that paved open the path.
These three Dragon’s Spirits wore the same old armor and were in skeleton form but these three strongest ones had an entirely different way of fighting than the others.
One wielded a giant battleaxe, carrying a ton of power and swinging down from mid-air. Although the battleaxe was heavily mottled, the killer aura on the edge surged through the sky and the spirit that wielded the battleaxe was the biggest among all. It was still a skeleton but it was taller than 2.5 meters.
It jumped up high and swung down its battleaxe in a fearsome manner, as though it could slice open a mountain.
At the same time, a shadow burst from behind Kieran, a dagger thrusted towards the back of Kieran’s neck.
However, what concerned Kieran the most was among the sea of Dragon’s Spirits, there was one particular spirit that wielded a giant bow, aiming its arrow towards him. That loaded arrow was emanating danger.
Barren Champion, Nunsel!
Shadow Assassin, Ero!
Windchaser Arrow, Tysel!
The moment the three unusual Dragon’s Spirit appeared, Knight and Weapon Master, who were very familiar with the history, uttered their names.
Others in the crowd had heard of these three particular Dragon’s Spirits more or less.
These three were considered legendary heroes in this dungeon world!
Barren Champion Nunsel, the one who ended the war in the barren lands and built his barren empire with his own hands.
Shadow Assassin Ero, the one who single-handedly assassinated 13 kings of the opposite force, hence turning the tide of the war.
Windchaser Arrow Tysel, the one who defeated the Mother Typhoon and protected the coast line.
All three of them were very famous, to the point that when the others heard their name, they were stupefied.
“We are going against them? Is this real...”
CHANG!
Willis was going to exclaim about something but he was interrupted by a deafening iron clunk.
The [Ruthless Beheader Flaming Sword], whose body was even bigger than the already giant Barren Champion, clashed with his battleaxe.
Sparks flew everywhere upon contact and the blazing flames rose, followed by a flaming explosion!
Barren Champion Nunsel held his battleaxe tightly, trying his best to prevent himself from being disarmed but his whole body was struck away.
Shadow Assassin Ero landed within range of the Flame Burst, the rumbling Devil Flame telling him what he should do. Before he could even land his dagger, he was forced to retreat but those fiery wings weren’t just decorations, they flapped and slapped Ero, sending him flying away.
Devil Kieran utilized the flap of his wings and flew out too, going after Windchaser Arrow Tysel!
The fiery wings granted his huge devil form the ability to fly and a single flap produced a speed faster than anyone could imagine.
With the scorching wind trailing, Devil Kieran appeared before Tysel in a flash.
Once a hero, now a Dragon’s Spirit, Tysel laughed maliciously and let go of the string of his bow.
Fung!
There was only a single sound from the string but hundreds and thousands of arrows were fired.
Souuuu!
As though a storm came, the corrosive arrows clouded Devil Kieran, not only with its absurd numbers but its unrivaled speed as well.
The arrows reached Kieran in an instant!
Fuaaaa!
The flaming sword with a blazing trail swung fiercely towards the sea cloud of arrows, the giant blade accompanied with inhuman strength securing the advantage. A single swing from the sword deflected the corrosive arrows back, like a reverse torrent.
“Hehehe!”
Tysel laughed maliciously again and the deflected arrows flew back once more, faster than the first time. Tysel drew the string of his bow again.
He wasn’t afraid of a prolonged battle because once his arrows were fired, they would not stop until they killed the target. The longer the battle, the bigger advantage he had.
Going against an enemy like the Devil Overlord was surely hard, it was definitely one of the strongest enemy Tysel had ever met, it was comparable to the Mother Typhoon back in the days.
However, should he really compare the Devil Overlord with the Mother Typhoon, he would rather go against the Devil Overlord, anytime, anyday, because the Devil Overlord fought alone, it’s...
Pak!
“Aaaaaargh! What are you thinking in the middle of the battle?”
A sloppy voice sounded behind Tysel. He looked down to the knife that went through his chest.
The knife wasn’t something normal but he didn’t take it seriously, the [Holy Water IV] however inflicted some serious damage.
What caught Tysel off guard was, after he looked down at the knife through his chest, he ought to say something but when he opened his mouth, a 10 ml test tube was hurled into his mouth.
Tysel wanted to dodge but he had no ground to. The flying test tube had been through countless calculations for the best and most appropriate route into his mouth.
A tube full of [Holy Water IV] landed in his mouth.
Holy energy and negative energy clashed.
“NOOOOOOOO-”
His yell didn’t even finish and his body exploded.
BANG!
Windchaser Arrow Tysel was burst into bits, its head flying towards Devil Kieran. The flickering soul fire in his eyes proved that Tysel hasn’t died yet, but it was inevitable.
Wung!
The flaming beheader sword swung out fierce, slashing Tysel’s head into nothing.
“Perfect!”
Sloth calculated meticulously for this scene to happen, he smiled lazily and when one of the Dragon’s Spirits lunged its spear at him, he vanished.
Sloth reappeared behind Shadow Assassin Ero, who was sent flying away, but before Sloth did anything, Ero seized the initiative and attacked with his dagger first.
“You really think you can ambush me with tricks?” Ero said coldly.
“Of course I don’t, but... it’s enough to distract you!”
Sloth purposely prolonged his tone, while Ero wasn’t distracted by his deceiving words and did not look around. His senses told him there was nothing around him that he could consider a threat.
Ero laughed coldly when he saw Sloth take the initiative and jump on him.
“Naive!”
The dagger in his hand rotated in a perfect circle before it was thrusted towards Sloth.
It was fast! Faster than imagined, as though it could cut away space and shorten distance!
The dagger reached Sloth in less than a fraction o a second.
Sloth couldn’t dodge, or rather, it wasn’t necessary for him to dodge.
A black greatsword was faster than the dagger.
The roars of tiger and dragon struck the dagger with the power of a thousand strikes.
Ero couldn’t react to the attack fast enough, slashed in half and his head kicked towards Kieran, who was slaughtering the other Dragon’s Spirits, by Pride.
Similar to Tysel’s head, Ero’s head was smashed into cinders by the flaming beheader sword.
“Nicely done!” Sloth gave a big thumbs up to Pride, but Pride turned away.
If it wasn’t for his elder brother, the pride in Pride’s heart would not let him help.
Sloth knew it very well, chuckling and saying, “You don’t want to see elder brother fighting this war alone, right?”
“Hm,” Pride nodded and looked towards the flying Barren Champion Nunsel.
“We don’t need to go after that! According to elder brother’s plan, he will deal with that big fella himself. We should go over and help our not-so-smart little brother!”
Sloth waved and quietly pointed at Calamity Dragon.
Pride glanced over Calamity Dragon and vanished from the sky.
“Always so quick, eh?” Sloth mumbled and disappeared.
After Pride and Sloth vanished, Devil Kieran flew towards Nunsel, grabbing his head and smashing him down to the earth.
This time was unlike the previous time. Without Tysel and Ero in the way, Devil Kieran swung the beheader sword and slashed Nunsel in half.
Pam!
The blazing flames from the edge burned Nunsel into cinders.
After taking out all three of the legendary Dragon’s Spirits, Willis’ exclaimation finally sounded.
“T-This...i-is...”
As though something was stuck in Willis’ throat, he tried his best to find words to describe the scene but none were appropriate enough.
Willis was prepared to engage in an ugly fight but in the end, the enemy that he assumed powerful was easily killed by Kieran.
His feelings went through a rollercoaster ride, turning around and looking at the Knight and Weapon Master with a slightly grudgeful gaze.
As a matter of fact, not only Willis, everyone else shared the same gaze.
Two senior superheroes awkwardly laughed the gaze off, but their gaze on Kieran became even more fearsome.
“Even the Dragon Catastrophe Legion can’t stop 2567? Maybe... we can win!”
Both of them realized each other’s thoughts after exchanging a gaze.
Chang!
The sword was drawn.
Bang!
The iron bo staff was stuck on the ground.
The two senior superheroes led the charge into the battlefield.
“KILL THE VERMINS!”
Calamity Dragon growled fearsomely.
A portion of the Dragon’s Spirits split up and flew towards the superheroes on the ground.
Sword and spear clashed, the iron bo staff lunged out like a snake, striking down the spear-wielding Dragon’s Spirit in one strike.
“You are not young anymore, what you need is skill, not brute strength!”
The bo staff Weapon Master wielded whipped up a flurry of illusions, fending off the Dragon’s Spirit with each strike. Drexton followed up with a powerful punch.
Kakroom!
The ground trembled. The punch infused with the earth’s power shattered a small group of Dragon’s Spirits, but the attack also exposed Drexton under the arrows of the enemy.
Souuu!
Arrows were fired.
Although it wasn’t as scary as the Windchaser Arrow, it was similar.
Drexton wasn’t bothered, he charged in towards the Dragon’s Spirits blindly.
Fung!
A force field barrier appeared above Drexton, Fortress opening his hands to create the best defense for Drexton to charge in.
Several cunning spirits went around Drexton and flew towards Fortress.
Dak Dak Dak Dak Dak!
Assault rifles were fired.
30 assault rifles gathered around Fortress, no one holding the guns and automatically forming a line of defense with the storming bullets, fending off spirits that got near.
Relentless gunshots and the force field barrier slowly seizing ground for the heroes.
The flying Dragon’s Spirits were stunned for a moment, subconsciously looking towards a shadowy spot, trying to find the person responsible for the gunshots but when they turned, a petite figure flashed behind them. Several Dragon’s Spirits had their neck perforated by sharp claws.
Machinist, Silencer and Kat Lady worked together seamlessly, but the numerous Dragon’s Spirits were too many for them to handle and they weren’t an easy target.
“I’m almost at my limit!”
Fortress told Willis after 20 seconds; Willis relayed the message to Drexton.
“Protect yourself,” Drexton answered.
The aura around his body became heavier, stepping out with a strong punch, becoming almost invincible.
BANG!
Drexton launched another punch, the two Dragon’s Spirits shattering and the spear landing on his body breaking into pieces.
This scene had happened multiple times, but the shattered shards from the weapons did not disappear, sticking to Drexton instead.
The shards then suddenly pulled Drexton away from the ground!
Even for just a bit, Drexton’s aura had weakened significantly.
“The blessing from the Earth? Interesting! Never thought I’d meet someone with my own abilities.”
A tall Dragon’s Spirit appeared before Drexton, smiling maliciously at him and raising both his hands up, trying to strike Drexton down.
BANG!
Another large figure came from the sky with unimaginable nimbleness and power, crashing onto said Dragon’s Spirit.
The Dragon’s Spirit was smashed away from the ground and sent flying.
Wine Barrel Herzker then picked up his bottle of alcohol, taking a big sip.
Splash!
Herzker spat fire from his mouth and engulfed the Dragon’s Spirit plus the others behind it.
“Hahaha, I always wanted to do that. Feels good!”
Herzker then grabbed Drexton, who was frozen mid-air, and ran backwards.
Drexton smiled bitterly, knowing Herzker must have treated that Dragon’s Spirit as himself.
“Don’t take it the wrong way, I didn’t take that thing for you,” Herzker explained.
“Put me down, they are coming,” Drexton was wise enough to not ask and was concerned about the chasing Dragon’s Spirits.
“Don’t worry.”
Booomb!
The moment Herzker’s words subsided, an astonishing explosion went off behind him and the tremendous shockwave almost made him lose his step.
More than 30 Dragon’s Spirits perished in the tremendous explosion behind the two of them.
Herzker gave a big thumbs up to Renner the Bomber Maniac.
Renner smiled and staggered a little. Although he managed to set up his bombs and took out 30 Dragon’s Spirits at once, it drained him a lot!
In fact, other than Herkzer and Drexton, who had returned to the ground, everyone else was panting.
It had been less than 5 minutes since they engaged the Dragon’s Spirits!
“You guys take some rest, it’s our time now.”
Pudder the chief officer formed a defense line with the police cruisers, blocking the exhausted superheroes behind them and took an assault rifle attached with a grenade launcher onto the police cruiser.
Bang!
KABOOM!
The grenade drew an arch over the sky and fell into the group of Dragon’s Spirits, but other than the direct hit, it didn’t really damage the others.
“Solid bastards!”
Pudder threw the assault rifle aside and pulled out an RPG from the cruiser.
As a matter of fact, it wasn’t just Pudder who chose the RPG, his young assistant Michael and other strong officers pulled the same weapon on their shoulder as well.
“Have a taste of this!”
Pudder pulled the trigger, so did the others.
Fuuuush!
KABOOOM!
Over a dozen rockets were fired into the Dragon’s Spirits, clouds of smoke erupting in front of the defense line, blinding everyone’s sight.
Herkzer and Drexton’s face turned for the worse.
“GET AWAY!” Drexton shouted.
Glimmer of fiery light shined in the dust storm, followed by dozens of 2 meter fireballs flying out, shedding light over the scene.
A translucent barrier formation appeared above the Dragon’s Spirits, shielding them from the rockets, even allowing them to counterattack.
“GO UP!”
Drexton bent down, plunging his hands into the ground, shouting loudly and flipped a big area of ground up against the flying fireballs.
KABOOM!
The fireballs crashed into the flipped up ground, causing a series of explosions, but more fireballs came from the Dragon’s Spirits, raining down from the sky.
“RETREAT!”
Drexton shouted at his comrades, prepared to use the same technique again but a sudden weakness flowed through his body.
He looked down, his feet not leaving the ground, but the ground that he stood on was somehow turned into an area of swamp.
One of the Dragon’s Spirits on the opposite side laughed coldly.
The black, reeking swamp then started to expand rapidly and caught the police cruisers defense line in a breath’s time.
What was worse was ghosts sprung out from the black swamp and flew towards the defending group.
Fuuuuuuu!
Herkzer spat fire from his mouth, burning the ghosts into cinders before he grabbed Drexton again.
“Ants!”
The Dragon’s Spirit, once a great scholar known for his mastery over all kinds of mystical arts, looked at the crumbling defense line in disdain.
Although the Dragon’s Spirits weren’t familiar with the superheroes’ weapons at first, hence allowing them to gain the upperhand, this great scholar Dragon’s Spirits believed they had the key to victory in their hand, and it turned out to be true.
The defense line was crumbling.
Other than being in an ugly state, what else did they have?
An uglier state! Plus a little bravery!
But such puny bravery was nothing under the Dragon’s Spirits charge.
Soon, they would all perish!
“You will all die soon enough! The marvels will join us as our comrades; the weak will be disqualified and end up as nutrients for the marvels! Are you ready?” said the great scholar Dragon’s Spirit. He raised his hand and ready to give the final order, but the next moment, the magma body flew down from the sky.
Kaboom!
The ground shook, the Dragon’s Spirit stomped into smithereens.
The other Dragon’s Spirits spread out swiftly.
Calamity Dragon, who was still stuck in the void breach, didn’t mind at all, laughing coldly, “Siding with the weak always end up like this! You will have to face my Dragon Catastrophe Legion face to face and death will be your only end! As for the Amodrela pup or Star-devourer last descendant who got so bloated eating my flesh, I’ll throw him into my stomach and digest him!”
Calamity Dragon declared loudly, the Dragon’s Spirits growling en masse and their morale at an all time high.
Devil Kieran looked up at the enormous Calamity Dragon and the Dragon Catastrophe Legion around it, widening his fiery mouth into a grin.
The Devil smiled ferociously and ruthlessly.
“Dragon Catastrophe Legion? Have you heard of the Devil’s Army?”
Amid his sinister voice, a wicked blasphemy echoed and spread all over the entire battlefield.
The Dragon’s Spirits who Kieran just killed reappeared, as ally this time, and it wasn’t just the normal ones.
Barren Champion Nunsel!
Shadow Assassin Ero!
Windchaser Arrow Tysel!
These three strongest Dragon’s Spirits appeared behind Devil Kieran, and together with the other reincarnated Dragon’s Spirits, they all knelt down on one knee.
Fuaaa!
Flames burned from their souls, blessing them with a scorching aura and all of them yelled in one voice, “FOR THE LORD!”
