Accompanied by an eerie and gloomy aura, the pitch-black flames devoured all the light they touched as they descended to the ground. Their heat was comparable to Hellfire, a 9th Circle magic that would simply burn the opponent with flames surpassing the concept of temperature. And as for their size? They were so huge that they could completely engulf the entire forest.
"Tch." Davey clicked his tongue, his teeth gritting fiercely when he saw the descending Breath evaporate the huge amount of mana he had sent out from his outstretched hand.
The power of Breath was truly amazing. No, it was far more than he expected.
It didn't matter if Shane Scrift had died a long time ago. In the first place, this guy's lifespan and life recovery were on a completely different level from his. Among all the mythical beasts under Shane, he was hailed as the King of the Mythical Beasts. Basically, this bastard would only grow stronger over time.
After carefully observing the opponent, Davey judged that they weren't using their entire power in the fight. Simply put, they were in a very disadvantageous situation. However, it was no laughing matter to see a weakened being like the guy in front of him possess such powerful firepower.
Grit, grit, grit…
Reina's legs screamed from the overwhelming pressure that suddenly appeared. With her pale face, she alternated her gaze between the Breath weighing down on them and the surrounding area.
Of course, Breath wouldn't last long after being shot out. So, even though Davey had used a huge amount of mana, he was still able to stop the Breath's descent in one go.
"Heup...!" Davey took a short breath as he stared stiffly at his trembling right hand.
The bastard was much stronger than he had expected. Well, it was true that Megalodria had grown stronger over time. However, Davey didn't like the fact that he had miscalculated this.
In addition to the trembling, his fingertips still burned as if they hadn't escaped the influence of the Breath.
"Heup?! Goodness! Your arm!" Perserque cried out in shock.
After all, it was rare for her to see Davey injured like this.
"I know. That's why you should stay away for a moment," Davey said calmly as he picked up his swords.
With one of his arms broken, he threw Red Ribbon into the air using his working arm before picking up Blue Ribbon. It was quite inconvenient, but it didn't matter that much to him.
Meanwhile, Reina quickly pulled out Divine Spear Longinus and pointed it at the gigantic presence in the sky, casting a huge shadow upon them. However, before she could raise her aura and momentum, a black stream shot out from the figure that had turned the sky black, overpowering her.
She wasn't subjected to any kind of power or such; she was simply overwhelmed by fear. The fact that it could instantly neutralize a strong individual at the Sword Saint level was a testament to how strong Megalodria was.
"Ughhh... Ugh..."
Reina was gripped by bone-chilling fear. However, in her desperation, she managed to release some of her aura and create a huge protective barrier around her. She wanted to protect the two demonkin siblings who were right behind her.
Anyone could see the consequences if the siblings, who were clearly ordinary people, were exposed to this overwhelming fear and terror. Even trained knights and soldiers would instantly panic in the face of this power.
"You have always been resolute and determined since the first time we met," Davey said as he twisted and turned his broken arm, using holy magic to attach the bones together.
It was only a temporary measure, but it was enough as long as he could move. After grabbing Red Ribbon with his right hand, he immediately crouched down on the ground and looked up at the bastard above them.
Why did this bastard suddenly show up here to protect the inquisitor? That question flashed through Davey's mind. However, there was no way he could figure it out at this moment.
Initiate a conversation then? Obviously, that would only work if Davey had the upper hand. If he tried to use his trap and provoke his opponent without any guarantee, he would be begging to be killed. And their current situation? Well, they still didn't know who would be the one left behind and fall. So, the wisest decision was to keep his trap shut.
Although the Azure Sky's Storm Dragon King didn't truly exist in this world, Davey had already fought against it. And based on his experience, martial arts was the thing it had the hardest time dealing with.
[Heavenly Destroyer]
Davey raised his arms, pointing both of his swords at Megalodria as he unleashed the fierce and violent dark red energy swirling around his body.
[Quick Draw, Sword Manipulation]
[Heavenly Twin Collision]
Swoooooosh!!!
It was a sword art crafted with arrogance and determination, aimed at piercing through the sky. And since Davey's opponent was the ruler of the skies, he needed to confront it with this level of determination.
The shadow of Megalodria flapped its four pairs of wings, reaching for the two swords hurtling toward it. However, Davey would not allow it to have its way.
—Grrrrrrrrrr!!!
The Azure Dragon, which had a violent and ferocious temper, quickly bound its body and interfered with its movements.
—Kihyeeeeeeeeck!!!
Simultaneously, the Vermillion Bird, momentarily flinching from its Fear, erupted with overwhelming rage and launched massive fire spears toward Megalodria's wings.
As a grandmaster-level mythical beast, Megalodria, the Azure Sky's Storm Dragon King, possessed Fear with unparalleled power. It was already a daunting task for one of the Four Divine Beasts to maintain consciousness, let alone engage in a battle and emerge victorious against it.
However, this didn't imply that the might and power of the Four Divine Beasts had vanished. A fleeting opportunity emerged, courtesy of the Fire Chicken's anger management disorder and the Azure Dragon Rumble's inherently violent temperament. Two flashes of light seized that exposed opening.
Stab!!!
A terrifying sound reverberated through the area as Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon pierced through Megalodria's body. However, they didn't linger there, swiftly making a sharp turn and hurtling towards the ground without further action.
—Roaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!
The blow, stronger than what Megalodria had anticipated, caught it off guard. However, soon after, the colossal dragon erupted in anger from the inflicted damage. It chose to bite Azure Dragon Rumble, who was entwined around its body, and flung it aside.
Megalodria's red eyes flashed with intensity as it observed Rumble colliding with Fire Chicken, who had unleashed a barrage of fire shots at it.
[Break, you trifling bastard!]
Dark clouds instantly began to gather in the sky. Fire Chicken instinctively felt the danger and tried to escape. However, Megalodria swung its five-toed front foot in the air.
—Kihyeeeeeeck!!!
The attack ripped through space, sending Fire Chicken crashing to the ground. Immediately after, Megalodria redirected its attention to Davey, its red eyes flashing once again.
Simultaneously, enormous tornadoes materialized in the vicinity, devouring everything in their path. Davey simply waved his hand dismissively at the creature before him, who appeared to be issuing a warning through its actions.
Megalodria, having never encountered or even acknowledged Davey before, regarded him as an insignificant being unworthy of its attention. However, for Davey, he had grown weary of the mythical beast's presence.
“So…”
‘Isn’t it time for you to come down now?’
Davey might not have any way to kill it immediately, but the bastard Megalodria must have already noticed by now that he was not an easy opponent.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!
Megalodria, glaring intensely at Davey and building momentum, suddenly staggered. Something began to pull it downward from the previously inflicted wound—an ethereal thread of mana entangled in the dripping blood.
Of course, whether Megalodria fell immediately or not didn't truly concern Davey. If one attempt wasn't enough, he would strike twice, even thrice.
Azure Dragon Rumble, enduring the earlier impact, ascended and collided with Megalodria's body once more.
Thud!!!
Davey’s eyes narrowed as he watched the bastard reel back from the heavy impact. He was still not going to come down?
Baaaaaaaang!!!
Naturally, Fire Chicken wasn't one to be outdone. It transformed into a vibrant red flame and encircled Megalodria, creating rings of fire that entrapped and immobilized the creature.
Having endured three consecutive attacks in succession, even the King of Mythical Beasts, Megalodria, had no alternative but to succumb and collapse onto the ground.
[…]
Refusing to accept the loss of its regal presence and aloofness as a king, Megalodria contorted its body, averting the imminent crash onto the ground, and forcefully slammed its foot down.
The impact of his four feet striking the ground generated a colossal shockwave that shook the earth. However, Megalodria and Davey remained unaffected, standing firm amidst the ensuing chaos.
Megalodria possessed the head of a dragon, four pairs of injured wings, a formidable body covered in scales and feathers, and a pair of blood-red eyes that sent shivers down the spine of anyone who beheld them.
For Davey, this appearance was all too familiar, to the extent that he felt a sense of satisfaction at being able to witness it once more.
[You dare.]
"Indeed, I dared," Davey remarked with a touch of amusement. "It's rather comical, isn't it? Megalodria, renowned as a mighty and wise king who adhered to providence and rule, now stands before us."
Megalodria recoiled in response to the heavy sarcasm laced within Davey's words. However, the conversation could wait for another time, couldn't it?
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!!!
Ignoring Reina, who remained in a state of stunned disbelief, Davey gripped Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon tightly in his hands, attentively observing as Megalodria gradually lifted its body.
This individual before Davey, the King of Mythical Beasts, was renowned for its wisdom. Witnessing someone of such stature crumble and become partially unhinged from the impact of the dimensional shift power had made Davey acutely aware of the gravity of the situation.
Vwooooooong…
A dark red energy started to swirl around the blade of Red Ribbon, snapping Davey out of his contemplation. He took a brief breath and examined the figure before him once more.
Davey intended to obtain everything he needed in a single stroke. Considering the devastation his arm had endured, the cost he had to bear seemed relatively inexpensive.
[Come, you insect.]
“I’ll go, so don’t move.”
Crack!!!
Under the sudden pressure, the ground beneath Davey's left foot cracked, unable to withstand the force as he positioned himself near Megalodria.
Sensing Davey's direct charge, Megalodria promptly opened its massive jaws, unleashing a powerful surge infused with raging tempests.
When Davey launched his assault, it mattered little to him whether he landed a perfect strike or not; as long as he made contact, that was what counted. Deception and trickery held no value for him, as they would only increase the risk of injury.
Qi surged within Davey's body, causing black veins to protrude from his skin. Even the blood vessels in the whites of his eyes bulged, threatening to burst.
[Heavenly Destroyer]
[Quick Draw]
[Slashing Barriers]
A loud cry rang from within Red Ribbon’s blade as a dark red light devoured the entire area, including Megalodria’s attack.
***
Could a single person's sword strike be powerful enough to devastate a forest spanning hundreds of meters in radius? Davey, a monstrous figure concealed behind a human facade, engaged in battle with a creature capable of instilling fear with a single glance, and accomplished exactly that.
Observing the unfolding spectacle, Reina instinctively gathered her power, bracing herself for the shockwave generated by the forceful attack.
Crack, crack, crack, crack!!!
However, the sheer force of the collision between Davey's attack and the monstrous creature shattered all of Reina's defenses without mercy.

"Kyaaaack!!!" Reina screamed, tightly shutting her eyes in anticipation of the impending blow, clutching the two demonkin siblings in her arms.
Yet, her body unexpectedly lifted off the ground due to the powerful shockwave. Unable to resist her curiosity, she reluctantly opened her eyes.
The battle between the two behemoths was an intense display of violence and ferocity. Feeling her mana rapidly depleting, Reina hurriedly tried to retreat from the radius of the aftermath. However, escaping the range of destruction proved to be a formidable challenge.
If that was the case, Reina was determined to protect the two children in her arms at all costs. Confident in her exceptionally resilient body, which surpassed human capabilities, she braced herself for the next wave of devastation, prepared to sacrifice herself to ensure the safety of the youngsters.
However, Reina's eyes widened in astonishment as a silver-haired girl emerged from behind her. The girl held a staff that Reina recalled seeing before. Strangely, the girl seemed unfazed by the fierce battle unfolding before her, her attention solely fixed on the staff she held.
"Fufu... You have no idea how long I've yearned for this day to come. My goodness. Look at this form, this magnificence. Come to me. I shall cherish and wield you with utmost sincerity for the rest of my days," the girl exclaimed with excitement in her voice.
"You..." Reina recognized her, but the being standing before her now was vastly different from the one she knew.
This was Demon Lord Perserque, the tyrant who had ruled with terror and malevolence in the parallel world where Reina originated. Yet, in this world, she appeared as nothing more than a pitiful girl, swept away by Davey's obsession.
The unmistakable proof of her identity as Demon Lord Perserque was the enormous horns adorning her head, which seemed remarkably easy to grasp with one's hands.
[I command thee in the name of the Demon Lord of the Abyss.]
Not long after, a mysterious voice emanated from the lips of the silver-haired Demon Lord Perserque. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, Reina sensed an uncontrollable sense of delight and excitement embedded within that enigmatic voice.
Simultaneously, an immense and formidable barrier materialized before them, surpassing the power and scope of Reina's own barrier. It spread across the entire area, enveloping everything, including the spot where Reina stood.

Davey simply waved his hand dismissively at the creature before him, who appeared to be issuing a warning through its actions.Megalodria, having never encountered or even acknowledged Davey before, regarded him as an insignificant being unworthy of its attention. However, for Davey, he had grown weary of the mythical beast's presence.SoIsn't it time for you to come down now?'Davey might not have any way to kill it immediately, but the bastard Megalodria must have already noticed by now that he was not an easy opponent.Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!Megalodria, glaring intensely at Davey and building momentum, suddenly staggered. Something began to pull it downward from the previously inflicted woundan ethereal thread of mana entangled in the dripping blood.Of course, whether Megalodria fell immediately or not didn't truly concern Davey. If one attempt wasn't enough, he would strike twice, even thrice.Azure Dragon Rumble, enduring the earlier impact, ascended and collided with Megalodria's body once more.Thud!!!Davey's eyes narrowed as he watched the bastard reel back from the heavy impact. He was still not going to come down?Baaaaaaaang!!!Naturally, Fire Chicken wasn't one to be outdone. It transformed into a vibrant red flame and encircled Megalodria, creating rings of fire that entrapped and immobilized the creature.Having endured three consecutive attacks in succession, even the King of Mythical Beasts, Megalodria, had no alternative but to succumb and collapse onto the ground.Refusing to accept the loss of its regal presence and aloofness as a king, Megalodria contorted its body, averting the imminent crash onto the ground, and forcefully slammed its foot down.The impact of his four feet striking the ground generated a colossal shockwave that shook the earth. However, Megalodria and Davey remained unaffected, standing firm amidst the ensuing chaos.Megalodria possessed the head of a dragon, four pairs of injured wings, a formidable body covered in scales and feathers, and a pair of blood-red eyes that sent shivers down the spine of anyone who beheld them.For Davey, this appearance was all too familiar, to the extent that he felt a sense of satisfaction at being able to witness it once more.You dare."Indeed, I dared," Davey remarked with a touch of amusement. "It's rather comical, isn't it? Megalodria, renowned as a mighty and wise king who adhered to providence and rule, now stands before us."Megalodria recoiled in response to the heavy sarcasm laced within Davey's words. However, the conversation could wait for another time, couldn't it?Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!!!Ignoring Reina, who remained in a state of stunned disbelief, Davey gripped Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon tightly in his hands, attentively observing as Megalodria gradually lifted its body.This individual before Davey, the King of Mythical Beasts, was renowned for its wisdom. Witnessing someone of such stature crumble and become partially unhinged from the impact of the dimensional shift power had made Davey acutely aware of the gravity of the situation.VwooooooongA dark red energy started to swirl around the blade of Red Ribbon, snapping Davey out of his contemplation. He took a brief breath and examined the figure before him once more.Davey intended to obtain everything he needed in a single stroke. Considering the devastation his arm had endured, the cost he had to bear seemed relatively inexpensive.Come, you insect.I'll go, so don't move.Crack!!!Under the sudden pressure, the ground beneath Davey's left foot cracked, unable to withstand the force as he positioned himself near Megalodria.Sensing Davey's direct charge, Megalodria promptly opened its massive jaws, unleashing a powerful surge infused with raging tempests.When Davey launched his assault, it mattered little to him whether he landed a perfect strike or not; as long as he made contact, that was what counted. Deception and trickery held no value for him, as they would only increase the risk of injury.Qi surged within Davey's body, causing black veins to protrude from his skin. Even the blood vessels in the whites of his eyes bulged, threatening to burst.Heavenly DestroyerQuick DrawSlashing BarriersA loud cry rang from within Red Ribbon's blade as a dark red light devoured the entire area, including Megalodria's attack.***Could a single person's sword strike be powerful enough to devastate a forest spanning hundreds of meters in radius? Davey, a monstrous figure concealed behind a human facade, engaged in battle with a creature capable of instilling fear with a single glance, and accomplished exactly that.Observing the unfolding spectacle, Reina instinctively gathered her power, bracing herself for the shockwave generated by the forceful attack.Crack, crack, crack, crack!!!However, the sheer force of the collision between Davey's attack and the monstrous creature shattered all of Reina's defenses without mercy.Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at "pawread dot com""Kyaaaack!!!" Reina screamed, tightly shutting her eyes in anticipation of the impending blow, clutching the two demonkin siblings in her arms.Yet, her body unexpectedly lifted off the ground due to the powerful shockwave. Unable to resist her curiosity, she reluctantly opened her eyes.The battle between the two behemoths was an intense display of violence and ferocity. Feeling her mana rapidly depleting, Reina hurriedly tried to retreat from the radius of the aftermath. However, escaping the range of destruction proved to be a formidable challenge.If that was the case, Reina was determined to protect the two children in her arms at all costs. Confident in her exceptionally resilient body, which surpassed human capabilities, she braced herself for the next wave of devastation, prepared to sacrifice herself to ensure the safety of the youngsters.However, Reina's eyes widened in astonishment as a silver-haired girl emerged from behind her. The girl held a staff that Reina recalled seeing before. Strangely, the girl seemed unfazed by the fierce battle unfolding before her, her attention solely fixed on the staff she held."Fufu... You have no idea how long I've yearned for this day to come. My goodness. Look at this form, this magnificence. Come to me. I shall cherish and wield you with utmost sincerity for the rest of my days," the girl exclaimed with excitement in her voice."You..." Reina recognized her, but the being standing before her now was vastly different from the one she knew.This was Demon Lord Perserque, the tyrant who had ruled with terror and malevolence in the parallel world where Reina originated. Yet, in this world, she appeared as nothing more than a pitiful girl, swept away by Davey's obsession.The unmistakable proof of her identity as Demon Lord Perserque was the enormous horns adorning her head, which seemed remarkably easy to grasp with one's hands.I command thee in the name of the Demon Lord of the Abyss.Not long after, a mysterious voice emanated from the lips of the silver-haired Demon Lord Perserque. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, Reina sensed an uncontrollable sense of delight and excitement embedded within that enigmatic voice.Simultaneously, an immense and formidable barrier materialized before them, surpassing the power and scope of Reina's own barrier. It spread across the entire area, enveloping everything, including the spot where Reina stood.
