A breath's time later, Kieran came into contact with the silent darkness.
Amidst Calamity Dragon's ferocious laughter, the silent darkness instantly turned into a ball and enveloped Kieran within.
The deadly intent of the plague was fully unleashed at this moment.
KABOOM!
Countless skeletons surrounded the black ball, wailing in agony.
They twisted their bodies as if they were struggling before death.
They raised their arms as if they were waiting for their salvation.
But nothing happened!
Whether it was struggling or hoping.
Everything was futile!
All they felt was a deeper despair!
Calamity Dragon, who was stuck in the void hole, skillfully controlled the despair. It didn't hold back, pouring all the despair into the Plague Ball.
It wanted everyone who tried to stop it to know what it meant to overestimate themselves.
The process of gathering its own power was smooth, everything was done in one go.
However, when it got close to the core, the target that should be struggling, something unexpected happened.
Calamity Dragon sensed a tenacious energy at the core.
It wasn't just tenacious, it was very gentle yet sharp.
It was the trait of power that Calamity Dragon hated the most!
"You remind me of those bastard Knight!
They have the same scent as you do!
"However, compared to them, you're still too far behind!"
The Calamity Dragon's voice echoed in the night sky like muffled thunder. The huge Plague Ball began to spin rapidly.
It was like a different kind of millstone, trying to grind Kieran into pieces.
From the beginning to the end, Kieran remained silent in the Plague Sphere, as if he silently agreed with the statement, but also as if he was powerless to resist.
It made the citizens of Alkender panic in front of the screen.
C-Could it be that even the Glutton Emperor was defeated?
Drexton's heart was burning with anxiety.
He wanted to save his friend.
But!
The sanctuary was destined to never be opened again!
Once it was reopened, those things that terrified him would flow in and the civilians around him would die without a grave.
"Damn it!"
Caught in a dilemma, Drexton clenched his fists tightly.
The surrounding Transcendents were also extremely nervous.
He wasn't just worried about Kieran, he was also wary of Calamity Dragon.
Kieran's strength was well-known.
If Kieran couldn't even last one round, how were they supposed to face off against such a powerful enemy?
Kat Lady was the only exception.
Kat Lady seemed to sense something, and after a while, she chuckled softly.
"He will be fine, meow!"
"My intuition is very accurate!"
Kat Lady muttered confidently.
But at this time, no one paid attention to Catwoman. Instead, they looked at Emma Eddie. Under everyone's gaze, the petite woman walked straight to the screen.
Emma Eddie knelt down on one knee with her left hand on her left knee and her right hand on her chest.
The whispered prayer reached the ears of the people around him.
The surrounding people were stunned for a moment, but in the next moment, many people began to pray together.
The Transcendents were no exception.
Drexton was the first to step forward.
From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that Kieran would be fine.
Goran, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately played the footage of the remaining fallout shelters together with the footage.
Immediately, the citizens of the other sanctuaries also joined in the prayer.
Humans tended to follow blindly.
Especially during the moment of life and death, when they were helpless.
A rich Power of Faith rose from the hundreds of thousands of people, flying towards Kieran inside the Plague Sphere in mid-air.
The fire in his mind was jumping rapidly.
Kieran clearly sensed everything, but he didn't accept the Power of Faith.
However, he did not accept the power of faith. Instead, he followed his original plan and infused it into the badge [Lionheart].
[Detected energy, Lionheart, King's Trait has been temporarily upgraded!]
[King's Step activated]
[King's Praise activated]
[King's Prestige activated]
[King's Rage activated]
[Insufficient energy, King's Slaughter not activated]
…
[King's Rage: All attributes increase by rank I (below rank V), target an offending target, inflict an attack that ignores 50% armor, once per day]
Lines of words started to appear in Kieran's vision.
The familiar [King's Step], [King's Praise], and [King's Prestige] appeared one after another, and the first [King's Rage] surprised Kieran.
Ignore armor?
True damage!
Amidst Kieran's surprise, the changes continued. When the golden radiance overflowed from [Lionheart] and enveloped Kieran, even the silent darkness couldn't stop the radiance.
The radiance was dazzling, and a golden lion walked out from the radiance.
It stood on top of the Plague Sphere and roared at the Dragon of Calamity.
Although compared to Calamity Dragon, the golden lion was tiny, its roar was as loud as Calamity Dragon's, shaking the heavens and earth.
Calamity Dragon was slightly stunned.
It lowered its head and looked at the lion. A hint of surprise flashed through its huge eyes.
"You really are related to those bastard Knight!
Are you their apprentice? Or their descendant?
They actually found a high-tier devil descendant to be their heir? Seems like they are at the end of their rope! "
Calamity Dragon's voice was filled with schadenfreude.
It wasn't worried at all.
Those Knight Knights were powerful.
No mortal could defeat them!
But it wasn't a mortal!
It was Calamity Dragon!
Mortals were bugs in its eyes, and so were those Knight Knights.
The only difference was the size of the bugs.
Mortals were smaller.
Knight Knights were bigger.
But what difference did it make?
Weren't they just bugs?
All it needed to do was stomp them to death!
However, just as Calamity Dragon was about to make its move, the golden radiance from the Plague Sphere vanished, and the golden lion vanished as well.
When they reappeared, they were standing on Calamity Dragon's neck.
Calamity Dragon didn't turn around, but it also clearly felt the anomaly on its neck.
Calamity Dragon instantly understood what was going on, its huge eyes glowing with a red hue.
"Bastard!
Get down! "
Calamity Dragon roared at the sky.
No one had ever stood on its neck before!
From the moment it was born, it was an existence that could destroy the world!
Everyone, any existence had to bow down to it!
And now, someone was standing on its neck!
Rage!
Unprecedented rage!
Even the humiliation of being stuck in the void hole couldn't compare to 1% of what it felt now.
"Death has always been forgiveness!
Living a life worse than death is punishment!
I want you to see with your own eyes how the city you want to protect is destroyed!
And it's not just this city!
It's all the cities you know! "
The enraged Calamity Dragon released the plague aura from its body again.
It was different from the previous control.
This time, the aura of the plague was like a tidal wave, rolling and rolling endlessly.
Moreover, they did not form a deathly black color again. Instead, they flew up into the sky. After a while, a Calamity Dragon that was completely black and made of plague appeared. It looked exactly the same as the Calamity Dragon.
The real Calamity Dragon was still breathing.
It squinted its eyes as if it had fallen asleep.
It was obvious that it wasn't just a clone.
It was some kind of substitution.
"Do you really think you can trap me with the Void Cave?"
The plague Calamity Dragon flew under the night sky, roaring at Kieran. A cone-shaped breath formed by the plague was fired at Kieran's head.
"Of course not!
"I only need to trap your body!"
Kieran muttered in his heart, standing still on the spot.
Kieran was drowned by the plague energy again.
However, the plague energy that drowned Kieran didn't cause any damage to Kieran, instead, it was slowly absorbing the plague energy.
The plague Calamity Dragon squinted its eyes.
No matter how angry it was, it felt something wasn't right.
This was because it knew very well that the composition of its Plague Breath and Plague Ball were similar.
From a certain aspect, Plague Breath's power was much stronger than Plague Sphere's. Since Kieran could absorb Plague Breath's power slowly, there was no reason why he couldn't absorb Plague Sphere's power as well.
Then, the plague Calamity Dragon's eyes widened in rage.
What did it see?
It saw two figures appear under its body, the softest part of its body, under its neck.
Similar to Kieran, who it had been staring at.
One of them was lazy.
The other … looked hungry.
The former was gesturing with his fingers, as if he was calculating something.
The latter lifted one of the scales under its neck and stuck his head in, using his teeth to test the hardness of the soft flesh at the seams of the base of the scales.
"Big brother, you bought us enough time.
I've found the best place for you to eat.
The rest is up to you. "
"Okay, okay."
The conversation clearly entered the plague Calamity Dragon's ears amidst the night breeze.
Then …
It felt slight pain from its body.
"Shut up!"
The plague Calamity Dragon roared loudly, spitting out its Plague Breath repeatedly, but it was useless against Kieran.
Instead, it was absorbed again.
It wasn't a slow absorption anymore.
It was like a whale gulping down water, like a wolf gobbling down its food.
The Plague Force from [Plague Knight Body Tempering Art] in Kieran's body was unleashed at full power after being suppressed for a while.
The 'Power of Plague' immediately thickened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Dawn Force, the Devil Force, the Cardinal Sins Force, and the Saint Thorn Force were not to be outdone.
All of them were replenished by Gluttony!
The balance of the five Origin Forces!
It had always been Kieran's core!
That was why he didn't want to absorb the Plague Force from Calamity Dragon at first. Instead, he suppressed [Plague Knight Body Tempering Art].
Calamity Dragon was different from the opponents he had faced in the past.
Based on his senses alone, he could sense how powerful the Plague Energy in the Calamity Dragon was.
If he allowed [Plague Knight Body Tempering Art] to absorb the Plague Force, the Plague Force in his body would lose its balance.
He had to increase it all at once.
Similar to the increase of Saint Thorn Force.
"Aaaargh!"
The Plague Dragon of Calamity cried out in pain.
It could clearly feel that the thing that was like a flea had not only bitten open its only soft flesh, but had also drilled into the wound and was slowly moving towards the core of its body.
Pain!
Unbearable pain!
With every inch that Gluttony moved, Plague Calamity Dragon would feel a heart-wrenching pain.
"I'll kill you!"
Plague Calamity Dragon had forgotten that it wanted Kieran to suffer a fate worse than death. It was eager to kill Kieran.
It was no longer Plague Breath. The Plague Dragon of Calamity knew very well that the power of Plague was useless against the opponent.
Kieran was cunning and in order to devour its power, he had lured Calamity Dragon into a trap.
Now?
What it needed was to kill Kieran with its own rhythm!
It wanted to smash Kieran into pieces!
Fuuu!
The giant plague Calamity Dragon swooped down from the sky, its giant claws clawing at Kieran.
However, a black two-handed greatsword appeared in front of the giant claw and blocked it.
Chang!
The greatsword trembled!
Pride coldly stared at the giant monster before him with a haughty expression.
The pressure from the blade made his body, which was between material and illusory, feel pain, but he did not take a step back.
Pride's pride didn't allow him to step back.
"What the hell is this?
Get the hell away! "
Plague Calamity Dragon swung out its other claw without a second thought after one of its claws was blocked.
It couldn't care about anything else at this critical moment.
It wanted to return to its body!
Otherwise, something bad would happen!
Pride turned the greatsword in his hand around when another claw came at him. He moved his body swiftly but he still didn't back off.
Instead, he attacked!
Pride's body went through the gap of the claw in front of him.
He didn't just go through the gap, he raised the black greatsword up high and swung it down.
[Sword Skill, Rising Dragon]!
Wung!
Amid the whistling sound, a dragon silhouette formed by a grey gale crashed into the lower jaw of the Plague Calamity Dragon.
Bang!
The Plague Calamity Dragon's huge head was slightly lifted up by the impact.
Although there was a huge gap between it and the main body, the plague 'Dragon of Calamity' still had many of the main body's characteristics. If a similar attack landed on the main body, it wouldn't cause any damage. It wouldn't even be able to slow down the main body.
When the attack landed on Plague Calamity Dragon's body, it also couldn't cause any damage but it uncontrollably slowed down its movement.
The slight delay was enough for Pride!
The sword wind collapsed!
Wind into fire!
The black flame burned fiercely, wreaking havoc on Calamity Dragon's lower jaw.
The moment the black flame appeared, Calamity Dragon was shocked and in disbelief.
This was because it already knew what the person in front of it was best at, so it had set up a fire forbidden zone in advance.
No matter how powerful the Devil Flame was, as long as the flame didn't exceed its level, it wouldn't appear.
However, another flame appeared before its eyes!
It wasn't the Devil Flame!
It was another kind of flame, one that was filled with evil!
It wanted to devour more lives and listen to their cries of agony, but there were always those who didn't know what was good for them standing in its way, it infuriated it.
It was jealous of its ancestors that were born in the ancient times, they could do whatever they wanted and have many spouses.
Why?
Why?
Why was the heavens so unfair?
The wicked flame stirred up the unusual feeling in its heart!
While the unusual feeling was brewing, it even wanted to burn its soul!
It seemed like it saw four more bastards that looked like it.
However, the four bastards were filled with greed, anger, jealousy, and lust.
"Get the hell out of my way!"
The Plague Dragon of Calamity roared. Greed, Wrath, Envy, and Lust crumbled, but Pride also jumped in front of it at that moment.
The black greatsword had unknowingly blossomed with a demonic purple color.
The wild and untamed aura matched the arrogance of the sword perfectly.
The purple radiance was like a little sun, lighting up the night sky.
"Fury Slash!"
