The portal floating in the air was slowly expanding. Because it was spherical, this slow expansion was hard to notice. The surface of the spherical "Demonic Gate" was distorted in red and purple. If one looked closely, one could even recognize the demon army coming from the other side of the portal.
When Essien rushed to the portal, he found that in addition to the "infected beasts" and "Doomsday Guards," there were several larger demons with more exaggerated faces trying to squeeze in from the other side of the portal.
Crystal dragon Essien knew the basic characteristics of this kind of "portal." The size of the portal did not depend on the size of the portal. This was because the "portal" itself was a product of distorting space and time. If possible, it could even throw a battleship hundreds of meters long into the portal. The real factor that determined whether the traveler could come through was the "upper limit of energy" that the portal could withstand.
In other words, this portal had a limit of strength. The "infected beasts" with low strength could rush out, but the "Demon Lords" who were as strong as the Dragons obviously could not. However, as time went by, once the portal was completely stabilized, perhaps even more terrifying demons could rush out.
The Red Dragon Lord Queo obviously knew this. That was why he asked Essien to destroy the portal as soon as possible.
Crystal dragon Essien was not stupid. When he saw that Augustine was temporarily suppressed by Queo, he immediately began to attack the portal with all his strength. However, no matter how he attacked, all the elemental damage could only turn into smoke on the surface of the "Demonic Gate." Other than making the "infected beasts" and "Doomsday Guards" wail, there was no other effect.
Essien frowned. He had seen the "portal" of the Dragons. Some of the Crystal Dragons' most secretive locations could only be reached through the "portal." Those places were plane fragments left behind by some worlds. These portals were constructed and summoned by the elders of the Demigod-level Dragons. Every time they were used, they would be warned not to cast spells at the portals. Otherwise, the disaster of "Space-Time Collapse" would easily occur. The weaker Dragons would not even be able to escape.
Obviously, the portal itself was very difficult to stabilize, and if one wanted to stabilize it, they had to pay a huge price. Essien originally thought that this newly summoned "Demon Gate" would be as weak as the "Portal" he had seen before, but the reality before him told him that … this was not the case at all!
"Essien! Do it! "
There was a hint of anxiety in Queo's voice. The fact that the Dragons Lord was so anxious was proof of how dangerous the Demonic Gate was. But Essien tried for a long time but to no avail. He had no choice but to shout back, "Lord Queio! My attacks are useless! "
"Idiot! Attack the construction node! The node of the Devil's Gate isn't inside the gate! "
The Red Dragons were all hot-tempered, especially the Lord of the Red Dragons. When he was angry, he would scold his own people. However, the powerful Queio obviously knew about the Devil's Gate. He had participated in the war against the demons more than seven hundred years ago, so he knew that the Devil's Gate summoned by the demons was different from the "portal" used by the Dragons.
The Dragons used the "Fixing Magic Circle" to stabilize the portal, but the Summoning Magic Circle of the Devil's Gate disappeared directly after being used. There was no way to find the node.
So there were only two ways to destroy it: find the node and destroy it; or cut off the energy source of the magic circle.
However, Essien had no clue about these two ways. He could only shout, "Where is the node?"
Queio was so angry that he almost cursed. Did he need to teach him step by step at this critical moment? But when he was about to find the node himself, Augustine came to him again. A series of explosions forced him to turn around and deal with it. However, as time passed, Queio finally understood. He said angrily, "Do you think you can delay until the portal is completely stabilized?!"
Augustine was not angry when his plot was seen through. He smiled and said, "You Dragons care too much about things. Don't you think you are too arrogant to call yourself the guardians of this world?"
Boom!
The green Hellfire exploded on Queio's body, but it was thrown back by Queio with the brighter "Dragon's Breath Flame Blast." Then, a heavy punch came with a thunderous explosion. At the same time, a sudden wave of high temperature swept over.
"Go to hell!"
The biggest difference between a "Demigod" and an ordinary expert above Level 60 was that they had a "world" of their own creation. When necessary, a "Demigod" could forcibly unfold the "world" they created on the battlefield. This skill was also known as a "domain."
Because the Red Dragons lived in volcanic areas full of magma, Queio had created his "Lava Domain" to be a pure high-temperature environment. The surrounding space with a diameter of 100 meters suddenly turned fiery red. The dense fire element immediately increased the power of Queio's magic by several times. The high temperature and the even more powerful magic effect instantly caused Augustine's expression to turn serious. He wanted to dodge, but he found that his feet had sunk into the magma!
"Chi —"
The high temperature directly melted Augustine's leather boots. Before the flames could harm his flesh, Queio's swift and violent attack had already arrived in front of him. Queio's simple fist directly hit Augustine's blocking arm. Due to the downward force of the punch, the Undead Emperor was immediately smashed into the knee-deep magma!
However, Augustine's current strength had far exceeded his original level. He turned over and stood up. A solid magic power firmly protected his body, and he was unexpectedly not affected by the magma at all. However, as the surrounding temperature rose higher and higher, Augustine found that he needed to divert more energy to deal with the effects of this combat environment.
In a battle between experts, mistakes and openings would definitely be fatal when one side was weakened and the other side was strengthened.
Augustine was very clear about this, so he immediately retreated and tried to escape from this area. But how could it be so easy to escape from the "Lava Domain"? As Queio chased after him, the fiery red sky and earth actually moved forward together with him, enveloping Augustine from beginning to end!
To a "Demigod", the casting of a "Domain" not only meant "going all out", but it also meant that the battle had to end immediately. Forcefully pulling a "Plane Fragment" that didn't belong to this world into the Domain required a large amount of magic power. Even with Queio's vast magic power reserves, he could only maintain the Domain for a short five minutes.
Although he was confident that he could defeat Augustine within five minutes, Queio wasn't here for a duel. His primary goal was to close the Teleportation Gate. If the Teleportation Gate was finally stabilized, it would be meaningless even if he killed ten Augustins.
Thinking up to this point, Queo's attacks became more and more rapid. However, just as Augustine was about to be unable to hold on any longer and was continuously injured, the "Lava Domain" that covered the sky suddenly trembled and then disappeared like snow melting.
Queio's expression changed greatly. He turned his head and looked at the Teleportation Gate that had a diameter of more than six meters. At this moment, there were no more Demon Soldiers surging out of it. Instead, it was filled with purple flames, and a red vertical pupil was staring at Queio. The entire "Demon Gate" was like a giant eyeball floating in the air. Under the light of this giant eye, the "Domain" that Queio had released with all his strength was suppressed and rejected by the entire plane, forcibly ending the spell casting!
Queio's gaze slightly froze. He finally realized that the one behind this Teleportation Gate wasn't an ordinary Demon, but the Demon Monarch Kazwera who had led the previous "Demon Invasion"!
Being stared at by this giant eye, even though he was a Lord of the Dragons, he felt a chill that penetrated into his bones. At this moment, Queio immediately activated a hidden button on his belt that looked like a dragon's bone. Invisible waves instantly spread out. The signal to summon all the Dragons had been sent out, but the Dragons' territory was abnormally far away from here. Queio's current action was completely like trying to make a Hail Mary attempt.
This was because he could basically confirm that if he couldn't immediately kill Augustine, then he wouldn't be able to prevent the Demons from invading this world again!
"Accept your fate!"
Augustine couldn't help but laugh loudly. At this moment, he was certain that he would win. Now, unless the Demon Monarch on the other side of the Teleportation Gate voluntarily gave up, Queio and Essien alone wouldn't be able to close the Teleportation Gate.
Powerful strength filled Augustine's entire body. He could finally vent his anger in this hearty, all-out battle. The plans that had been foiled by Roddy for a long time, the frustration of the army's setbacks, and the criticism of the nobles in the council had all been swept away!
Now, just wait for me to sweep away all the obstacles and send all of you scum who get in my way to hell!

"Teleportation Gate node? You even know about this? "
Kardashian looked at Roddy with a stunned expression. For a moment, she couldn't accept the fact that a mortal was discussing the "Demon Gate" with her.
This was a core secret that only the Dragon Race could come into contact with … Not to mention humans, even the younger Giant Dragons knew nothing about it. Even if Roddy had encountered Teflin before, how could those pitiful creatures who had been infected by the Demon's aura come into contact with a high-level space-time spell like the "Demon Gate"?
Not to mention that Roddy had also pointed out the key problem of the hidden node of the "Demon Gate" magic circle!
"I once explored the ruins of the High Elves' capital, Wagra. There, I came into contact with the knowledge of demons." Roddy looked at the "Lava Field" cast by Queio in the distance and quickly used many reasons to shut Kardashian up. "The High Elves' civilization was destroyed by the demons. They left behind records about the" Demon Gate "and how to deal with it. So, we must close it now! And I need your help. Do you want to watch the whole continent be destroyed by the demons because we were a step too late? Your Excellency Kardashian? "
"I …"
At first, Kardashian didn't want to believe a mortal talking nonsense in front of her. But when she thought of the fact that he had taken the initiative to save her and that his words were highly credible, she suddenly hesitated.
However, at this time, she also noticed the red "Lava Field" in the distance. She immediately shouted, "It's Lord Queio! With him here, Augustine will definitely — "
Before she could finish, the "Lava Field" suddenly shattered and disappeared. Queio's angry roar came from afar. The eyeball-like portal and the purple light that shot into the sky made Kardashian's excited expression freeze completely.
Even the Dragons couldn't defeat Augustine?
"Your Excellency Kardashian! If we don't act now, we will never have the chance! "
Roddy said this through gritted teeth. His heart was beating rapidly because of nervousness. Only God knew how Augustine could resist so many Dragons and still open the portal … He could only be sure of one thing: if the demon army rushed out from here, let alone Tasman, even the Kingdom of Karen would be finished! This was definitely a more terrifying threat than the undead and Beastmen!
