Chapter 268 Snatching Food From the Tiger’s Mouth

"Devil's Contract"

"It's a joke to expect these extensions of chaos to obey the contract of order."

Casius teased in his heart, but he still pretended to be impatient and did not hide his greed for power.

The incarnation disappeared from the astral void and turned into a burnt and sluggish flame, leaving only the Heavenly Tribulation Dragon Eye to monitor the situation. Casius completely returned his will to the body in front of the astral prism in the main material plane.

"I don't want to sign the contract."

"But I don't want to give up this body of Karix."

"Then take a gamble and take advantage of the opportunity that the seal has not been lifted to stage a play of snatching food from the tiger's mouth."

Casius stared closely at the astral prism that was emitting dim light, and his eyes showed the excitement of facing a gamble.

The current Jezalslak definitely did not lift the seal, at least he was not sure to keep him, otherwise this demon would not have gone to such great lengths to lure him to sign the so-called "cooperation contract" with the precious corpse of the god.

But this vengeance master who had been sealed for ten thousand years was probably a little too proud and revealed his trump card in advance, but forgot that Cassius had the additional option of "turning the table over".

"Then let me see it."

"The so-called devil's wrath."

Cassius grinned and sneered, thinking so.

As the dragon sorcerer's will distorted reality, the fluctuations of mana aura and space suddenly appeared, and the few spells that can play a little effect in high-level battles, such as Undead Reverse Scale, Dragon-like, Aerial Maneuver, Energy Scale, Omniscient Eye, etc., were added to his huge dragon body.

Cassius folded his wings and reluctantly entered the portal of the colorful pool filled with starlight.

The red dragon passed through the rainbow-like streamer tunnel, experienced an imperceptible long distance, and came to this deep astral void in its true body.

A pure spiritual world, the silver void between all true planes.

But material creatures can still survive here.

"It's a pity that I didn't find the astral projection, otherwise I could have minimized the risk."

Casius gently flapped his wings and quickly adapted to the special environment of the astral world with almost no gravity, and learned the flying skills of the astral world under the effect of aerial maneuvers.

"Casius, you are finally here."

"My most perfect partner, sign a contract with me"

"You will share the endless source of power with me and become the creator of a new world."

The devil's whispering call came from far to near, erratic, lingering around the red dragon's ears, luring him into the deepest bottomless abyss.

Casius vigorously vibrated his wings, like a red comet, quickly passing through the astral void, and flew nearly a thousand meters in just a few breaths. He could even see the floating island and the skinny body of the devil from afar.

"Come, sign a contract with me."

"Rescue me, and you will have eternal life!"

Jezalslak, who was suspended in the air, was like a prisoner who was about to be pardoned, and his voice became more excited.

The contract made of the turbulent abyss was waving in the void, as if it was a living creature, welcoming the arrival of the contractor.

Casius was strengthening his mental barriers to resist all the whispers of the devil.

He did not come to the devil as promised, but instead waved his wings to accelerate again. Even a red flame tail appeared behind the red dragon. He actually passed the sealed devil directly and flew straight to the dragon corpse like a mountain in the distance.

"No——"

"Casius! What do you want to do? Have you forgotten our agreement?"

The demon called "Lord of Vengeance" who was suspended in the air, his body trembled violently, and the fire of revenge burst out of his deep eyes.

The entire floating island was shaking, and a huge human face made of chaotic fog appeared in the astral void.

"Revenge——"

"Destruction——"

"Chaos——"

The face was roaring and raging, as if it wanted to devour the red dragon that was flying through the void.

Cassius tightened his wings and continued to accelerate, not forgetting to taunt.

"Who told you that I was going to sign a so-called contract?"

"The devil's contract is a more ridiculous joke than the 'devil's conscience' to me!"

He ignored the obstruction of the chaotic mist and cut through the void like a meteor. He was surrounded by sulfur-smelling smoke and landed on the chest of the dragon corpse.

"This is Karix, the world purger."

Cassius let out a long sigh.

This kilometer-long red dragon has been dead for tens of thousands of years, but when Cassius really stood in front of it, he still felt an incredible sense of oppression, which came from blood, inheritance and even essence. Even his wings were shaking uncontrollably.

Cassius's goal was the heart.

He couldn't bring all the remains back to the main material world.

Although everything about the corpse is priceless, the most valuable part of the dragon corpse is undoubtedly the precious organ with countless blood vessels transporting true blood, and the heart that is still trembling slightly and still contains one thousandth of the blood power of the dragon in life.

Heart of Karix.

"Casius! You are seeking your own death!"

"You gave up the great gift I gave you and chose the ultimate destruction!"

The magnificent shadow of chaos came from a distance, and the angry demon of revenge released the power leaked from the seal, wantonly venting his anger towards the "betrayer".

Casius knew that his time was running out.

This demon had been sealed by the gods for ten thousand years, but even so, the might of the Lord of the Abyss was beyond his reach.

"Roar--"

The dragon crystal on Casius's chest flashed with dazzling light, white smoke gushed out of the pores, and a blazing white high-temperature fire column spit out of his mouth.

Then, two rows of gorgeous flame tails emerged from his neck and tail, and the dragon crystal on his chest was filled with the light of the flame. The blazing white fire column went further, and its outer flame was slightly blue.

However, the extremely high temperature of the terrible breath hit the remains of Karix, but was blocked by the dim scales.

Even though the body had been dead for ten thousand years and had long lost the source of power, due to its powerful material composition, it could not be easily destroyed by the flames of ordinary things.

"It's terrible."

"Even the extreme effect of the spitting is like tickling."

Noticing the shadow of the demon attacking from afar, Casius gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

Suddenly, the blood vessels of the red dragon glowed faintly, even out of the body, revealing a root-like shape on the surface.

The endless energy was transmitted to the dragon crystal. Brilliant, high-temperature white flame tails emerged from the pores of the neck and tail

Along with the extremely terrifying fluctuations, a violent magic fission reaction occurred in the dragon crystal, and light spots and arc lines appeared in disorder in it. The bursting sparks collided in the chest, and the dragon crystal became extremely dazzling, like a miniature star in the universe.

The violent wind spread around with the red dragon as the center, forming a circle of dust on the floating island. There was a moment of silence in the void, and then a deafening explosion was released.

The next moment, blue-white flames shot out from Cassius' mouth.

[Original Spout]

The extremely high-temperature fire column rushed towards the body.

This time, the breath finally cut the dull scales, pierced through the magnificent dragon corpse, and caused a huge crack on it.

"Hoo, hoo"

Casius closed his mouth panting, his body became somewhat transparent, and hot white smoke came out of his body, showing a state of being about to overload.

But he did not relax at all, nor did he have time to rest. He drilled into the crack without hesitation and continued to expand it with his sharp claws.

"Shhh——"

Finally, he tore open the thick flesh on the chest of the dragon corpse.

The heart that was still trembling with flames was exposed to the air.

This was Karix ten thousand years ago. This heart alone had a diameter of nearly thirty meters, which was larger than most red dragons in this era.

"This is the heart of Karix."

Casius exhaled a puff of white smoke, and the light golden pupils were hot.

"Casius! You have betrayed my trust!"

"You will bear the wrath of the Lord of the Abyss!"

He turned his head, and the shadow of the demon had arrived. The body made of chaotic fog stretched out a ferocious giant hand, trying to catch the red dragon.

With [Swimming Dragon], the red dragon, which was incredibly agile, dodged easily, but was still infected by the chaotic aura. All the spells on his body became extremely unstable, and the [Eye of All-Knowing] even collapsed directly under this infection.

"This is the real power of the abyss."

"I must leave as soon as possible."

Cassius felt the disorder of the chaotic infection and thought with lingering fear.

The red dragon drilled directly into the chest of the dragon corpse. While dodging the attack of the demon phantom, he used claws and scratching to tear the blood vessels that had long lost their activity.

In the end, the glimmering heart containing the majestic power of the ancestral dragon lost the flesh and blood vessels and slowly fell out of the chest.

Seeing this, the dragon sorcerer did not hesitate to distort reality with his will and released the spell again.

[Greed Bag]

The bag-shaped force field area gradually formed behind him, allowing him to drag the extremely huge heart.

"Roar!"

Casius flapped his wings vigorously and roared. He actually dragged the heart that was larger than his dragon body into the air.

Fortunately, the gravity in the star realm can be almost ignored, otherwise even with the power of the red dragon, it would be difficult to bear such a heavy heart during flight.

The red dragon flapped its wings almost with all its strength and actually dragged the heart to a height of 100 meters in the air.

"Ignorant mortal!"

"You don't know the consequences of angering an abyss lord!"

The demon phantom's hand conjured a black spear and threw it directly at the red dragon in mid-air, which was difficult to dodge.

But at the moment when the chaotic power touched the red dragon and was about to cause fatal injuries, a scale on his body suddenly broke, and the golden light film wrapped his whole body. It turned out that the [Immortal Reverse Scale] blocked the fatal blow.

And Casius took advantage of this precious opportunity and climbed up with all his strength. He finally left the floating island completely, leaving the demon phantom only able to roar weakly on the ground of the floating island.

"Goodbye, no, goodbye forever - Jezalslak"

"I will remember your selfless dedication."

Casius said breathlessly.

The scarred red dragon dragged the "Heart of Karix" and flew hard, and finally arrived at the coordinates of the astral prism, plunged into the astral pool leading to the main material plane, and entered the astral vascular channel with colorful lights.

With the brilliance of the stars, the red dragon disappeared.

Starry sky, Karix floating island.

The huge demon phantom disappeared, leaving only the thin demon hanging in the air.

"Sure enough, the smartest fish will bite the last bait without hesitation."

The devil whispered.

At this moment, Jezalslak was not as angry as he had just shown, but raised his head calmly.

"Haha, it's worthy of the red dragon known for its greed. It's really a bit beyond my expectation."

He stared at the direction where the red dragon disappeared, and it seemed that he was staring at the endless chaos outside the star realm. A weird and frivolous smile appeared on his face.

"But. I haven't finished what I said. Foolish mortals say that Carix is ​​actually insane, which results in the endless gale in the noisy tunnel."

"But isn't that the distant dream of the bottomless abyss?"

"Casius, the mark of chaos will be deeply engraved on every scale of yours and flow in every vein of yours. When you really grow and become stronger, that's when I will reap the fruits."

"I originally wanted to let you sink into the illusion of power and eventually complete all this in a logical way. But you chose a more bumpy and more difficult path to preserve your formal existence."

The imprisoned demon stretched out his thin arms to the astral void, and suddenly grabbed it as if he had caught something, and the iron chain made a "clattering" sound.

"This is the fate that runs through the universe. You can't escape it."

"After all, the dragon is just a mortal who doesn't understand the rules of the world. I don't know whether I should praise you for being smart or say you are stupid?"

The endless void is still empty, with silver streams floating around. Occasionally, there is an unknown light flashing, and there are lonely floating islands floating. I don't know if it is a giant beast from the star world, or the remains of another god.
