Chapter 452 - Chapter 452: Chapter 428: The Dragon of Madness! (2/2)

Seeing his growing delight, a deep fear rose within the “Thunder Scaled Claw Dragon”, who finally couldn’t hold back and shouted loudly, “Your Excellency, the bishop! He might be about to activate some Forbidden rare artifact! Or some kind of extraordinary power, in any case, he must not succeed!”

The aging “Hand of Salvation” furrowed his brow and, after a moment of hesitation, still paid the price to use the Forbidden rare artifact on himself.

“Good!”

From within that sinister red eyeball, streaks of black and red lightning erupted in an instant, and she aged slightly more.

Five years of life!

The black and red lightning moved at an incredible speed, far beyond what humans could dodge.

In the blink of an eye, it struck Darren!

The countless streams of black and red lightning, like the wrathful whips of a furious deity, tore through the calm of the space, bringing forth the might of world-ending destruction and relentlessly pounding the coiled giant dragon of flame.

This lightning was certainly not of a natural kind; twisted by the forces of darkness and raging flames, each bolt was a blade of malignancy, containing unimaginable destructive power and glowing with an evil and fervent light.

Darren’s massive form, covered in ever-flowing flames, trembled under the ferocious onslaught. The black and red lightning collided with the fiery scales of his large body, setting off deafening roars as if the entire world was ignited at that moment!

In the midst of the tremendous explosions, flame and lightning interwove into a doomsday vista, unleashing waves of destructive energy!

“Ahh!”

Under the excruciating pain, Darren couldn’t help but let out a deafening roar, a release of his agony and rage, his eyes blazing with an unyielding fire, showing no sign of retreat even when faced with adversity.

“Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!”

His colossal body tumbled and turned under the bombardment of the black and red lightning, each struggle accompanied by an even more ferocious burst of flames, continuously attacking the “Specter with Scaled Claws,” attempting to engulf the foe in an endless sea of fire.

However, the “Specter with Scaled Claws” suddenly leapt forward to control him, forcibly enduring Darren’s offensive while the black and red lightning surged wave after wave, showing no signs of ceasing.

Not only did it strike the giant dragon’s body, but it also continually eroded Darren’s will. His flames began to dim, and cracks started appearing on his scales.

At that moment, the patterns on the body of the “Specter with Scaled Claws” lit up!

Wrapped in blue and purple lightning, the “Specter with Scaled Claws” suddenly began to undergo a bizarre transformation.

As if touched by an invisible force, he gradually lost the vitality of his body, growing cold and hard.

“What’s going on! No!”

The lightning continued to rage around it, but at this moment, it seemed to be imprisoned within a body about to solidify, each flash weaker and more despairing.

The eyes of the “Specter with Scaled Claws” also began to lose their luster, turning hollow and vacant as if all life force was being drained away in this moment.

As time passed, the body of the “Specter with Scaled Claws” began to petrify from the tail forward, inch by inch, with every scale turning into cold stone, shimmering with a faint grey sheen.

The roar of the lightning gradually subsided until only a faint crackling sound remained, echoing off the colossal stone sculpture.

When the last trace of lightning also vanished, the “Specter with Scaled Claws” had completely turned into a massive stone statue, standing quietly there.

“Ahh!”

Darren let out a dragon roar and then fiercely smashed the enemy’s stone head with a claw, relentlessly attacking without mercy, persisting until the foe was utterly annihilated.

“The power of some Forbidden rare artifact?”

The “Hand of Salvation” flew in midair, even attempting to save a companion!

Out of nowhere, the Emerald Ring made its move!

It transformed into a green streak of light, instantly covering hundreds of meters to bisect the “Hand of Salvation’s” body!

At the same time, the black and red lightning finally stopped.

Yet, despite being split in two, she still kept her cool and quickly said,

“You can’t kill me, Darren Fischer! Because my presence here is something that many people are aware of, and as an important figure of the Salvation Church, if you kill me, you will definitely be held accountable by the Salvation Church, even put on trial…”

The “Hand of Salvation,” with just a brief analysis, knew quite clearly that Cyart would not dare to offend the Salvation Church without good reason; one could even say that although assassinating a church bishop was nothing new, no country on the Ouden Continent could openly be an enemy of the Salvation Church!

So at most, he would only imprison her.

“Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!”

However, at this moment, Darren simply roared furiously, his eyes bursting with crimson and pitch black.

In the throes of his life-or-death struggle and the stimulation of the black and red lightning, he had abandoned all semblance of that laughable rationality, frantically grabbing the “Hand of Salvation’s” body and then slamming it to the ground like swatting a mosquito, before continuing to hammer away furiously—once, twice, thrice… After pounding the body into a pulp hundreds of times, eliminating any possibility of healing and revival, he finally stopped!

Only after completely wiping out the two low-level Monarch powerful experts did Darren spit out Yeager, who was unharmed in his mouth, and then he collapsed on the ground in human form, extremely weakened.
