Chapter 541: Entanglement
In the face of absolute power, the Players’ siege appeared pitifully frail.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Vivid flashes of light erupted mid-air, explosions detonating in rapid succession. Dozens of Dragon-Slaying Arrows surged toward the Abyssal Dragon’s chest area.
Clearly, Singo wasn’t the only Player who had noticed the boss’s weakness. But they had all grossly underestimated its true strength.
Bombs. Arrows. Spells.
All were mere jests before this beast—its body stretching hundreds of meters long, a mountain-sized colossus.
In the minds of these professional Players, the Game Official would never design an unbeatable boss. Without access to the Abyssal Dragon’s Challenge Rating, they had estimated it based on average Player power and past game history—around level twenty, well within the “fightable” range.
They never realized: in Ailezegai’s world, there were no Officials. No predetermined plotlines. Only ever-shifting Fate.
Facing a Lord of the Abyss who had seized the body of the Destroyer Dragon God, even millions—or billions—of Players would meet only one end: utter failure.
Roar—!
Jelrazaks reared back and unleashed a thunderous, soul-shattering roar. A crushing wave of black pressure exploded outward from him, sweeping across the earth and reducing all life to ash.
The tens of thousands of Players who had dared to slay the Dragon were obliterated in an instant—leaving not even a single bone fragment behind.
The Abyssal Dragon unfurled its wings—vast enough to blot out the sky—and slowly swept them through the air. For a moment, it seemed as if both earth and sky trembled beneath its motion.
Swish—
Swish—
A gale howled, tearing through the land. Sand and stone flew like shrapnel.
Each time the Dragon flapped its wings, the sky itself screamed in agony.
Under the storm’s fury, trees were ripped from the ground, massive boulders tumbled into valleys, snowpacks erupted into the air, and even the chaotic Demons were swept skyward—powerless, unable to resist.
For miles around, the air was choked with surging black smoke. Crimson-hot earthfire erupted from fissures in the ground, as if the world itself were infected by the Chaos that surged through the beast. The very fabric of reality seemed on the verge of collapsing into the Bottomless Abyss.
Dark clouds churned. Fiery corruption raged.
And yet, the monstrous Abyssal Dragon continued to flap its wings—rising slowly, steadily, until it soared into the upper reaches of the sky, ten thousand meters above, surveying the ruins below like a god surveying its domain.
Its wingspan—hundreds of meters wide—cast a shadow like a blackened sky, blanketing the shattered remains of civilization beneath it.
The surrounding space was torn open. Rivers of Chaos-black smoke poured from the rifts, converging into an Abyssal Current that spiraled upward—forming a colossal vortex, ten kilometers in diameter, above the Dragon’s body.
Boom… Boom—
Its heavy breaths echoed like distant thunder across the heavens.
With each exhale, emerald-green light pulsed through the veins beneath its scales, greedily sucking in the surrounding Abyssal Power.
The Dragon’s body continued to swell—growing larger, more terrifying. Its length now neared three hundred meters, drawing ever closer to the true form of Karex, sealed away in the Stellar Realm.
“Filthy vermin! Get out of the Material Realm!”
The Ancient Silver Dragon, locked in combat with Demons, suddenly felt the world go dark. One moment, he was battling—then, with a single claw swipe, he obliterated the Demons before him. Only then did he lift his gaze upward.
His ancient, weathered face contorted in shock, awe, and primal fear.
“By Bahamut… This… this sight… Has not graced existence in nearly ten thousand years.”
In all his millennia of life, no creature had ever grown so vast. Even the physical manifestations of King Bahamut had only reached a hundred meters.
Such a scale of Dragon—only existed in the Dragon Sovereignty era, during the Dawn Age, when Dragons stood as near-divine beings.
Back then, the Dragons and their Clans had ruled vast territories, waging eternal wars for control of land, sea, and sky. The Dragon Gods themselves were locked in endless conflict, birthing countless entities of immense power.
“Lord of the Northern Wind… Can King Kai Xiusu truly defeat this?”
Pablicheko’s voice trembled. This Ancient Silver Dragon had not felt fear in centuries.
Even the Players in the Chaos Warband noticed the distant Abyssal Dragon—but instead of fear, they felt only astonishment and euphoric excitement.
“Holy crap, look over there?”
“Is that even real?”
“This boss is overpowered. Are we even supposed to beat this?”
“I heard S God and tens of thousands of elite Players tried to siege it—just one glance, and they were wiped out in full party defeat!”
The Heavenly Reinforcements from the Outer Planes were panicking.
A Stellar Envoy—perfect in form, wings of pure white—stared upward, his expression grim.
“This… this is no monster. It is a Divine Abomination.”
“Have the gods forsaken us? Is the fate of the Material Realm now resting on the back of an evil red dragon?”
Boom—
Kai Xiusu unleashed a sweeping arc of fire, creating a sea of flames that consumed hundreds of Demons in an instant.
More than ten thousand winged Demons surged forward. Kai Xiusu folded his wings tightly, his entire body wreathed in fire—like a crimson war chariot tearing through the sky, carving a thick, charcoal-black trail behind him.
The charred remains of Demons rained down like ash.
Then, with a powerful beat of his wings, the massive Red Dragon surged upward, riding the scorching hurricane and spatial forces, ascending into the sky like a flaming comet.
Whoom—
A sonic boom roared from his spines, trailing a cone-shaped cloud of compressed air behind him—perfect, straight, like a blade through the sky.
In just a few breaths, Kai Xiusu reached ten thousand meters—standing now, face-to-face with the Abyssal Dragon.
Yet even in the sky, against a beast nearing three hundred meters in length, Kai Xiusu—despite surpassing the limits of his Red Dragon lineage, measuring forty meters long—still seemed small.
Jelrazaks locked eyes with the distant Red Dragon. His deep, endless eyes glowed with greed. Thick black smoke dripped from his bloodstained maw. A twisted smile lingered at the corner of his lips.
“Kai Xiusu… Heh heh heh… Have you finally understood? Are you coming to me—willingly—to be devoured?”
Kai Xiusu’s gaze turned icy. He beat his wings once more, his pale golden eyes flaring with flames.
“Hmph. You’re overjoyed far too soon, Jelrazaks. Years of planning. Decades of gathering revenge. Do you truly believe—after all this—I’m powerless against you, you Abyssal mongrel?”
The Red Dragon didn’t speak further. He lowered his head, gathering power in his throat. The Dragon Crystal on his chest blazed with light.
At that moment, he became a second sun in the sky—dispelling thousands of meters of chaotic darkness around him.
Boom—
The air split apart. A column of white-hot flame tore through the sky, piercing through the smoke like a lance, aimed straight at the Abyssal Dragon’s chest.
“Arrogant—utterly arrogant!”
Jelrazaks slashed his massive claw through the air. Instantly, torrents of Chaos Power converged into the tip—forming a barrier of pure destruction.
The white flame column was shattered, annihilated—its energy twisted, redirected, and hurled back toward Kai Xiusu.
Then, with a deafening crack, thousands of bloodstained spears erupted from the gaps between his scales—flying toward the Red Dragon from all directions.
Each spear was soaked in blood, trembling in midair, screaming as they flew. They carried a strange, unnatural power—Revenge Spears.
For thousands of years, this Abyssal Lord—known as the Revenant Demon—had been hoarding his wrath. And now, it was unleashed in full.
Thousands of spears rained down like a storm, unstoppable, relentless—aiming to pierce Kai Xiusu’s heart.
Roar!
The Red Dragon roared, raising a blazing Fire Shield. He became a crimson blur, darting through the storm of spears with impossible speed.
“Foolish, blind Red Dragon. You still do not comprehend the grandeur of the Abyss! Very well… I shall show you the essence of the world. I shall make you understand my purpose!”
Jelrazaks did not stop. He flapped his wings, summoning endless waves of Chaos Mist that surged toward the Red Dragon.
Any mortal who touched it would be consumed by Chaos, driven into frenzied madness, stripped of reason.
Kai Xiusu spun violently in midair, evading hundreds of spears aimed at his heart in an instant.
But then—like a storm surge—Chaos Mist rolled in, seeking to awaken the Abyssal Curse within him.
Kai Xiusu flared his wings, unleashing a furnace-hot hurricane that scattered the fog.
Roar!
Above his head, a golden crown materialized—its silver gemstones glowing like moonlight.
Supreme True Dragon Crown — Sacred Wind!
Swish—
A cold northern wind swept across the sky. Silver-white light, like moonlight, shot from the crown, cleansing the surrounding darkness.
In his claw, the Authority of the Elemental Plane flared to life. The pale golden iris in his eyes burned brighter than ever.
And as he roared, his crimson scales shimmered with a molten glow—like rivers of magma flowing beneath the surface.
Solar Flame Burst.
Meteor Burst.
Burning Cloud Technique.
Flame Storm.
Volcanic Ember Cloud.
In an instant, a dozen high-tier spells—each infused with the essence of the Fire Elemental Plane—erupted from him, surging toward the Abyssal Dragon. The sky was lit in a dazzling blaze of fire.
Boom!
Jelrazaks stretched his neck, opened his blood-red maw, and exhaled a wave of black smoke—nearly sealing the space before him.
Every fireball, flame column, meteor, and molten rock that fell from the sky was instantly shattered—dissolved into chaotic currents—before being flung back toward Kai Xiusu.
But Kai Xiusu opened his mouth wide.
Spirals of energy formed before him—sucking in the frenzied attacks, devouring them whole.
Dragon Absorption!
“Bahamut’s divine power. Tiamat’s bloodline heritage. Authority of the Elemental Plane. How amusing—your scattered, petty tricks truly surprise me. But in the face of the Abyss’s absolute power… everything you possess is meaningless!”
Jelrazaks laughed, his voice a twisted chorus of madness. He flapped his wings, summoning a hurricane that tore through both sky and earth—advancing toward Kai Xiusu.
Boom—
The winds ravaged the Anstica Mountains. Wyverns flailed helplessly, their cries weak and desperate. Even the Silver Dragon in the sky was thrown off balance, barely able to maintain flight.
“Ahh—!”
“Where the hell are we going?!”
“I didn’t even cast Flight Spell—I’m being blown away!”
The Stellarfallen were tossed hundreds of meters into the air, colliding with branches, rocks, and dust.
The Red Dragon fought against the gale, slicing through the pressure waves with powerful wingbeats, flying at breakneck speed. The Abyssal Dragon followed, spewing Chaos Breath with every breath.
Yet Kai Xiusu—thanks to his aerial maneuverability, the grace of a dragon, and the foresight granted by the Heaven’s Judgment Dragon Eye—danced through the storm, weaving unpredictable flight paths, dodging every breath with ease.
Jelrazaks roared, “Kai Xiusu! You scurrying little mouse! Your pointless struggle ends now!”
Roar—!
The dark sky began to descend, a crushing weight pressing down—trying to pin the agile Kai Xiusu to the ground.
But Kai Xiusu did something unexpected. He banked sharply, carving a wide arc through the sky—then surged straight toward the Abyssal Dragon.
Jelrazaks grinned—his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He could already see it: devouring the heart of Karex, becoming a World-Destroying Dragon.
Swish—
A crimson streak tore through the Chaos Mist. The Red Dragon swept past the Abyssal Dragon’s neck—ripping off a massive chunk of scaled flesh.
Purple-black blood sprayed through the air. The Abyssal Dragon roared in fury, shaking from head to tail.
“You’re asking for death!”
But Kai Xiusu remained agile, circling the beast—flying, striking, evading.
Swish—
Swish—
Sonic booms echoed again and again. The dark-red bulk of the Abyssal Dragon was encircled by chaotic trails of cloud—like a thousand regiments of storm.
Again and again, Kai Xiusu struck—ripping flesh from the monster’s body.
Not every Dragon possessed such dexterity. To Kai Xiusu’s eyes, this beast—nearly three hundred meters long—was clumsy, slow, its movements like they were in slow motion.
Black-red Chaos flames. Thick Abyssal mist. Bloodied Revenge Spears. Putrid Demon flesh—flying at him from all directions—yet none could land a hit.
Swish—
Another crimson streak. Another chunk of scaled flesh tore free, flying into the air.
“Red Dragon… You must be so proud.”
Suddenly, Jelrazaks’ face twisted into that same twisted smile. He opened his mouth impossibly wide—his jaws stretching toward his ears.
Roar!
A profane, soul-rending sound erupted from his throat—like a storm from the Abyss. The very air trembled.
Profane Ode!
Kai Xiusu’s head split with pain.
Black-red flames flickered in his pupils. A crushing desire to destroy burned within him.
The Heart of Karex in his chest pounded violently. The crown on his head screamed in alarm.
Struggle… Struggle!
The Red Dragon gritted his teeth, forcing out every ounce of Bahamut’s Wind—its silver light flaring outward, resisting the Abyssal Curse.
But then—Boom!—a massive claw, tens of meters long, slashed through the air.
It struck Kai Xiusu square in the chest.
Boom!
The force sent him flying backward—crashing into a mountain thousands of meters away. Rock and debris exploded outward. Massive boulders tumbled down the slopes.
