Chapter 492: Slaying

While Magdalene was locked in a bitter struggle, the demigod dracolich 'Babos' had already entered a perilous state. The twelve 'Fangs of the Wind God' held by the wind giant manifested behind Robert, along with the main sword in her own hand, all emitted dazzling holy radiance, continuously inflicting wounds on this demigod, causing black qi to spill uncontrollably from Babos.

Robert's 'Fangs of the Wind God' were undoubtedly holy armaments. In ancient times, those holy nails had been stained with the blood of many 'saints' and even angelic gods. Thus, the thirteen swords forged with them as cores contained considerable holy power. Besides granting the blood-eyed maid powerful strength and magical abilities, they could also, to some extent, suppress Babos's death force.

Robert's sword strikes were exceptionally swift, her body like a phantom. Among the thirteen swords, some were as violent and merciless as a tornado, some as gentle and warm as a spring breeze, and others as cold and sharp as the north wind, interpreting the various mysteries of 'wind' and its 'changeability' to the extreme.

Then the raging wind blades rampaging through this place continued unabated. The blood-eyed maid's mana seemed utterly limitless; every breath generated at least thirty wind blades of at least level twenty-nine power.

Under this storm-like continuous assault, Babos had almost no room to cast draconic spells and could only counter with innate spells requiring no incantation or preparation.

In life, it had been a black dragon, gifted in the powers of space, earth, and fire. But here, all space spells were suppressed and sealed, and fire was countered by the opponent's 'Battle Wind'. The spells it used most now were earth magic.

Babos not only condensed a thick rock armor outside its body but also continuously summoned substitute mud golems from the lava to take damage in its place, or summoned hard stone walls to block the wind blades.

However, it could not use more complex spells. Even if occasionally cast, they were instantly annihilated under Robert's relentless strikes. The power of the Twin Stars kept plunging it into a state of mental lethargy and drowsiness, making it difficult to organize sustained spell defenses.

Thus, most of the time, Babos could only rely on its法器, its skeletal body, and its fifth-grade holy artifact armor to withstand Robert's blade strikes.

But this was clearly insufficient to deal with this powerful demigod wielding 'divine authority' and 'mythical weapons'. In less than two minutes, the demigod dracolich was covered in wounds.

Worse still, all its attempts to escape this place had also failed.

Beneath their location, a fifth-grade legendary mage had likely intervened, forcibly cooling and freezing that entire lava region, even altering the nature of the underlying soil to something between rock and metal, leaving no room for its most reliable 'Flame Escape' and 'Rock Escape' spells.

This drove the demigod dracolich into a state of fury in a very short time.

"Foolish humans! You dare to attempt the murder of a demigod, a demigod dracolich that has existed since the distant age before the Middle Ages!"

Its body began to expand, instantly transforming into its bone dragon form. Then the temperature around it soared sharply, large amounts of soil turned into lava, which climbed up and formed a thick lava armor outside Babos's body.

In fact, the demigod dracolich had now turned into a lava dragon, its fierce dragon might filling this space. The dragon breath from its mouth, a crimson flame, nearly engulfed Robert Yvonne. From its eyes shot two yellow beams—the black dragon's innate spell 'Petrifying Ray', which could turn all living things it gazed upon into eternal fossils.

But Robert neither dodged nor avoided. She seemed to be within flames capable of melting any metal, yet a wind barrier always surrounded her. The level twenty-nine 'Divine Wind Armor' appeared thin but unbreakably repelled the purple-red dragon breath and high temperature three inches away.

In front of Robert also appeared a holy artifact shield, helping her temporarily block the two yellow beams.

The wind giant behind her was even less cautious. This massive creature, nearly ten zhang tall, instead drew the flaming dragon breath into itself, covering its entire body with high-temperature flames. Under the wind's force and compression, these flames became even hotter and more lethal.

But the blood-eyed maid had retrieved the twelve 'Fangs of the Wind God' from the wind giant, merging them into a single greatsword five meters long. Moreover, behind her, a pair of huge wind wings were forming.

In the next blink, a crimson light struck from the sky. Even the demigod dracolich 'Babos' could not help but fall into a drowsy state again.

At the last moment, it forced itself awake, avoiding the demigod-level 'Disintegration Ray' striking its vital parts. However, part of its body was directly disintegrated by the ray, turning into dust particles.

A more fatal wound came from Robert's sword strike. That unknown 'mythical weapon', with dazzling light, pierced through its left eye, directly penetrating its skull, severely damaging Babos's soul fire. The properties of the holy nails even pinned down part of its soul essence firmly.

After the dracolich revealed its true form, though its combat power and destructive capacity greatly increased, to control this huge body, its soul had to reside within its skull. This allowed it to conveniently command its spine, limbs, and dragon wings. But it also gave the blood-eyed maid an opportunity to strike, severely wounding the dracolich's soul.

If not for Robert's deliberate control, the 'Fangs of the Wind God' could have even devoured part of its soul.

After this strike, Babos was furious beyond measure; extreme pain made it rage uncontrollably. But just three seconds later, the sleep-inducing power struck again.

This time, however, the demigod dracolich could hardly resist. Its consciousness gradually sank into darkness, then was jolted awake by agony. The blood-eyed maid's sword pierced through its other eye socket, penetrating its skull a second time, causing Babos to involuntarily arch its body and let out a wail like a dying beast.

Meanwhile, far away in Manhattan, the Crimson Cardinal of the Dragon Witch Cult, Yarad, suddenly felt a pang of terror and rose from his seat. He walked quickly to the glass window and gazed into the distant sky.

He soon realized what had happened, and his already pale face turned even more somber.

Today, after a century of hibernation, the Dragon Witch Cult, which had just recovered some strength, had lost a demigod—perhaps even two.
