Chapter 495 - Chapter 495: Chapter 463: Black Clouds and Blood Flames (2/2)
As Darren pondered silently, four others were sizing him up.
Before the “Blood Flames King,” Flamme Meyer, had a chance to speak, an elderly nobleman in a black tuxedo, with a profound gaze, spoke up.
“Let’s all go together! Surround him!”
The next moment, Flamme silently stared at Darren without moving, while the other three people around him took positions in three different places, ultimately encircling Darren.
“Very well, all of you attack together.”
In that tense standoff, Darren stood amid them all, his expression calm and composed, as if the tense atmosphere around him had nothing to do with him.
His eyes betrayed a superhuman calmness, the aggressive movements of the four around him were merely like ripples in a storm.
“What will you do, Darren Fischer! Cyart’s demon!”
The elderly man in the black tuxedo challenged him; though he did not possess middle rank Monarch power, his strength was close to that, making him a very powerful elements spellcaster.
Like a mountain that could not be shaken, Darren remained unflustered even as he was surrounded.
He slowly adjusted his breathing, not rushing to make a move, his gaze sweeping over the four men, exhibiting a powerful presence that commanded respect.
“Begin!”
The next instant, at that very moment, Darren’s aura transformed abruptly, as if an ancient and powerful force within him had awakened.
His form began to distort, bones and muscles uttered low rumbles in the darkness, and with a deafening roar, Darren once again transformed into a giant demon dragon, its scales as black as night, shimmering with a cold light, each seeming to contain the power of death.
The eyes of the demon dragon were like the abyss, burning with fierce flames, trembling the souls of those who dared look directly.
“Death Black Cloud!”
The air around seemed to tear apart, the dense Death Black Cloud exploded instantly, darkening the skies and devouring all light.
The Black Clouds not only obscured the vision of the Rhea People but also carried endless despair that sapped the life force, making even breathing difficult for them.
Aside from Flamme, the other three instinctively retreated, even the elderly nobleman in black found himself forced to step back!
“Roar!”
Darren propelled himself into flight on massive wings, tearing through the sky, stirring up a fierce wind that whipped the surrounding Death Black Cloud into even greater turbulence.
With each breath he took, thunderous sounds followed, the flames he exhaled like the fires of Hell!
Just as the Death Black Cloud ravaged everything in desperation and fear, the sky suddenly cracked open with a dazzling rift, from which surged not deeper darkness, but blazing blood-red flames!
The flames, as if endowed with life, carried an unyielding ancient power, instantly piercing through the thick Black Clouds, illuminating all of heaven and earth.
The former moniker of “Blood Flames King” Flamme was…
Skyfire!
The blood-red flames clashed fiercely with the Death Black Cloud, interweaving and colliding in the sky, erupting into deafening booms. Within the flames seemed to dwell an ancient will. They did not fear the forces of death but grew ever more fervent, devouring piece by piece of the Black Cloud, burning it until it was reduced to nothingness.
“Have you nearly reached the high-level Monarch already?”
Even as a demon dragon, Darren could not hide his astonishment in the face of the sudden blood-red flames; the flames’ temperature was so high that even his dragon scales crackled under their heat, emitting wisps of smoke.
The edges of the scales touched by the flames turned black, and increasingly more cracks appeared, revealing the bright red flesh beneath.
However, it was the soul that felt even more pain than the flesh; he could sense a lethal threat!
Yet, Darren did not retreat but rather ignited the madness within the depths of his soul.
“Roar!”
He howled towards the sky and then flapped his wings to fly even more fiercely into the flames!
Flamme’s eyes widened in disbelief as Darren charged headlong into the flames, as if he intended to test the limits of the blood-red flames with his body, proving that not even death and destruction could halt his progress!
“The Fischer family patriarch indeed! You indeed have courage, no, you are insane!”
