Ashen Dragon-Chapter 332 - 255 Okaglar Battle (VIII)

Chapter 332: Chapter 255 Okaglar Battle (VIII)

Anthony lifted his head, gazing at the Lion Spirit Body, but there wasn’t a hint of fear in his eyes; instead, they were full of contempt.

“Just a little cat…”

“How dare you rant in front of the King of Ashen’s servant?”

“I will show you—what true strength is! What the embodiment of destruction is!”

Anthony laughed wildly, his face covered in dragon scales revealing intense excitement and exhilaration.

It was his first time using this strength, a connection so direct and intimate with the Dragon Lord; how could he not be jubilant?

...

“Everyone, recite the oath with me!”

“Extinguish the fire of hope!”

“Enforce order with an iron fist!”

“The Dragon Lord above all!”

Over a hundred Dragon Sanctuary Holy Knights raised their longswords together, and the flames surrounding them gathered overhead, forming a fiery Red Dragon Illusion dozens of meters long.

[Dragon Lord’s Descent]

Twelve or more Dragonsworn Holy Warriors recited the Dragon Sanctuary Holy Oath simultaneously, summoning a Red Dragon Illusion made of flames, capable of bearing Cassius’s will.

“Roar—”

The Red Dragon Illusion slowly flapped its wings, looking down at the Lion Spirit Body, letting out a prolonged roar of anger.

Anthony looked up at the perfect incarnation in the sky, involuntarily half-kneeling on the ground.

“Your Majesty…”

On his dragon-scaled face appeared the reverence and fanaticism of a zealot, and the other Dragon Sanctuary Holy Knights were the same, except for Frederick, who barely maintained his sanity.

What immense strength.

What a perfect body.

This was the only king of the Ashen Kingdom, the lord they served.

Even if it was just a fake illusion of flames, as long as it was related to Its existence, it would possess the power to destroy everything.

Facing the terrifying Red Dragon Illusion in the sky under that immense pressure, the Lion Spirit Body summoned by the Lionheart Knights let out a whimper, timidly retreating half a step.

It was scared!

It was terrified!

Maxi sensed something bad; it meant the will of the Lionheart Knights was wavering.

The more they believed, the stronger they became; the more determined, the more steadfast. This was the characteristic of all Holy Oath Magic. Because of this, those with higher charisma could often perform more grandiose Holy Oath Magic, as their confidence and will alone could bend reality and change the world.

But now, most of the Lion Spirit Body’s spirit came from Maxi himself and was becoming more and more illusory.

But fanatical Dragon Sanctuary Holy Knights were different; born lowly and having experienced tragic paths, their fate was changed by the appearance of the Ashen Kingdom. Even if the world was to be destroyed, they would steadfastly believe in the power of the Red Dragon.

“That’s just a fire illusion!”

“We must believe—the Boske Lionheart is truly immortal and indestructible!”

This “Golden Lion Knight” Maxi urgently shouted, awakening those around him suppressed by the Dragon’s Might, making the Lion Spirit Body slightly more solid.

But the Red Dragon Illusion in the sky slowly descended, spreading its wide wings and spewing scorching flames from its massive mouth.

“Boom—”

In an instant, the Lion Spirit Body was engulfed in blazing flames. It continuously roared, wailed, and struggled but could not change the fact of being burned away.

Ultimately, it gradually turned into scattered light particles, dispersing into the air.

“No, no…”

Maxi shook his head continuously, muttering.

At this moment, his face was dim, his eyes vacant. With the destruction of the Lion Spirit Body, his spirit also took a massive hit.

His mind felt like purgatory, with a sea of fire burning, threatening to incinerate his will, spirit, and even soul entirely, condemning him to eternal damnation.

“The Boske Lionheart should be immortal…”

“I don’t believe it…”

Under extreme mental pressure, this “Golden Lion Knight” Maxi Stuart completely lost his usual composure, incessantly shaking his head and murmuring.

Maxi lifted his head, spread his arms, and laughed maniacally.

“Hahaha, they are deceiving me! These are all illusions!”

“You can’t kill me! I am Maxi Stuart, the great leader of the Lionheart Knights!”

The next moment, dazzling firelight reflected in his pupils.

Maxi Stuart was swallowed by the scorching flames, his entire body starting to burn.

His manic will was not strong enough to bend reality, and the existent flames wouldn’t change even if he disbelieved.

But ultimately, he was a high-level professional; his physical body was incredibly resilient, and even flames couldn’t easily burn him to ashes.

The onlookers saw a tall figure struggling and rolling in the flames.

His entire body was ablaze, his skin charred and cracked, resembling a human-shaped monster made of coal. He kept letting out heart-wrenching wails, screams, shouting phrases like “This isn’t real!” “All of this is an illusion!”

Compared to the physically robust “Golden Lion Knight,” other Lionheart Knights were far less fortunate. Many were incinerated by the flames in no time, reduced to ash, leaving only their exquisitely crafted gear, gradually melting into silver liquid.

Soon, only black ashes covering the soil, flowing silver water, and still fiercely burning flames remained on the ground.

“Roar—”

The Red Dragon Illusion raised its head in the sea of fire and howled at the sky.

“Long live the King of Ashen!”

“Great Red Dragon, immortal!”

“This is the mighty power granted by the Lord!”

The Dragon Sanctuary Holy Knights raised their arms in cheer, dancing around the sea of fire like zealots in a bizarre ritual.

The elite private army of the Boske Duchy, with a legacy spanning a thousand years, a legion with countless glorious achievements in the North’s history, a unit that defeated the Frost Giants’ leader and slew a White Dragon—the Lionheart Knights, was utterly annihilated, with no survivors.

Ironically, the person who now knew the Lionheart Knight’s legacy best was likely Frederick, who had already become a Dragon Sanctuary Holy Knight.

The destruction of the Lionheart Knights signaled the complete collapse of the Allied Forces.

The recent counterattack was merely an illusion caused by the formidable strength of the Lionheart Knights. Now, the collapse was the truest, most brutal reflection of the military power disparity on the battlefield.

“Destroy them! Fight for the Ashen Kingdom!”

Among the flood of Tiefling Infantry, Mezulash raised his Everburning Greatsword and said.

In front of him, the Allied Forces’ defense line was riddled with holes, utterly routed, with only the panicking backs of the fleeing soldiers visible.
