Giant Dragon Lord: Starting from Daily Intelligence-Chapter 203 - 197: The Fall of the Blood Lion

BOOM!

The giant axe and the star collided violently, creating a deafening crash.

A violent shockwave of energy raged within the barrier. Aston felt an unstoppable, immense force travel up the handle of his axe. The webbing between his thumb and forefinger instantly tore open, and the bones in his entire arm groaned under the strain.

In that same instant, the long sword, brimming with endless killing intent, silently pierced through his back and out his chest.

Aston’s body went rigid. He looked down in disbelief at the cold, blood-tipped point of the blade protruding from his chest.

The fury and fighting spirit in his eyes vanished as quickly as air from a popped balloon, replaced by endless confusion and despair.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only a gush of fresh blood filled his throat.

The phantom Blood Lion behind him let out a mournful, unwilling cry before, with a BANG, it completely disintegrated into countless motes of light and vanished.

A Tier Five Domain Knight had fallen.

At that moment, CRACK!

A crisp sound, like shattering glass, echoed across the entire battlefield.

Under the relentless, desperate assault of "Radiant Blade" Kade, the supposedly indestructible "Justice Barrier" had finally reached its limit.

Cracks instantly spread across the entire curtain of light like a spiderweb.

BOOM!

With a tremendous roar, the entire barrier shattered, dissolving into a sky full of dancing golden motes that faded into the air.

The moment the barrier broke, an eerie silence fell over the battlefield.

All eyes turned toward the area that had just been sealed off.

The smoke, dust, and residual energy gradually dissipated, revealing the scene within.

The Starfall Knight had, at some point, transformed back into a streak of blue light and returned to the Soul Horn.

In the center of the battlefield, only "Iron Blood" Luke remained, standing proud and alone.

At his feet lay the burly, lifeless corpse of "Blood Lion" Aston.

And in his left hand, he held a severed head, its eyes wide with fury, refusing to close even in death.

It was "Blood Lion" Aston!

Luke casually tossed the head toward the Fiery Sun Kingdom’s army formation.

The head traced a bloody arc through the air and landed with a THUD, precisely in front of the Prince of Karachi’s horse, kicking up a small cloud of dust.

The Prince of Karachi’s body began to tremble violently, his face ashen-white.

"Radiant Blade" Kade also froze, the hand gripping his sword trembling slightly. His eyes were filled with horror and rage.

"I told you, when I strike, there will be blood."

Luke’s cold voice, like a proclamation from the Nine Netherworld Hell, echoed across the silent battlefield.

He slowly raised his blood-soaked long sword, its tip aimed directly at the terrified ranks of the Fiery Sun Kingdom.

His voice suddenly rose.

"Entire army... ATTACK!"

Luke’s roar was like a clap of thunder, instantly igniting the entire battlefield.

WHOO! WHOO!

The desolate, powerful call of war horns rose from the rear of the Allied Army, sounding continuously.

"For the glory of the Thunder Dragon Kingdom!"

"KILL!"

A tsunami of roars converged into a single torrent as the steel-clad formation of ten thousand soldiers from the Northern Territory began to advance with unified, heavy steps.

The earth trembled beneath their feet.

At the front of the formation, the position of the Mage Corps was already ablaze with brilliant light.

"Elements, heed my command!"

Great Mage Alina raised her magic staff, her resonant, far-reaching voice piercing the din of the battlefield.

Behind her, nearly a hundred mages chanted in unison, their magic power gathering at an unprecedented rate.

"Meteor Fire Rain!"

The sky seemed to rip open as countless massive fireballs, trailing long, flaming tails, rained down upon the chaotic ranks of the Fiery Sun Kingdom like an apocalypse.

"Frost Blade!"

"Chain Lightning!"

After the fireballs came countless blades of ice, hailing down upon the enemy from above.

Immediately after, thick snakes of blue lightning danced wildly through the crowd. Each flash claimed several lives, and the acrid stench of burnt flesh filled the air.

The storm of magic instantly overwhelmed the vanguard of the Fiery Sun Kingdom. Screams, explosions, and desperate roars mingled as their formation fell into disarray while trying to evade the magical attacks.

"Giant Beast Legion... Charge!"

A roar filled with pain and fury rang out. Count of Giant Stone Barton, his chest wrapped in thick bandages with blood still seeping through, stood tall on his mount, a Winged Demon Tiger, his war axe pointed forward.

ROAR!

Over twenty mammoths, like moving hills, began their heavy tread. More than forty barbarian bulls, clad in iron armor, lowered their heads, their sharp horns glinting coldly.

Behind them, dozens more giant beasts of various forms joined the charge.

The earth groaned in agony.

The calamity of the giant beasts descended, and the faces of the Fiery Sun Kingdom’s soldiers showed nothing but endless terror.

Having just barely survived the magical bombardment, they now had to face this unstoppable torrent of flesh and blood.

Their fragile shield wall was like paper against the mammoths’ tusks. Soldiers were easily tossed aside, trampled, and crushed into pulp.

The Giant Beast Legion was like a red-hot giant hammer, smashing violently into the Fiery Sun Kingdom’s ranks and shattering their already chaotic formation.

「Meanwhile, high in the sky.」

"Baofeng, let’s go!"

Raylo lightly patted his mount’s neck. The Storm Griffin King let out a shrill cry, its tawny iron feathers rustling in the wind.

It beat its wings, stirring up a current of air, and soared into the sky with Raylo on its back.

Behind him, ten Storm Griffin Knights, dozens of Pegasus Knights, and over a hundred other knights riding various flying magical beasts formed a massive aerial force, like a dark cloud blotting out the sun.

Their target was the more than three hundred enemy Pegasus Knights who had scrambled into the air, attempting to provide cover for their ground troops.

The enemy’s Pegasus Knight Order was in a scattered formation, and the knights’ faces showed clear panic. They had obviously lost their nerve after witnessing the carnage on the ground and the death of Aston. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Maintain formation! Charge!"

Raylo’s voice rang out in the wind.

"We’ll punch right through them!"

"Sir!"

With Raylo and Baofeng as the arrowhead, the Northern Territory’s aerial cavalry quickly formed a sharp wedge in the sky and charged headlong toward the enemy.

Baofeng was the fastest. Like a bolt of golden lightning, it instantly cut into the enemy formation.

A Pegasus Knight from the Fiery Sun Kingdom had just raised his long spear to intercept when Baofeng’s massive iron wing swept across his mount’s neck like a guillotine.

The knight and his mount let out a short, mournful cry as they fell powerlessly toward the ground.

With the invincible spearhead of Raylo and Baofeng, the Northern Territory’s aerial cavalry advanced with unstoppable momentum.

The Pegasus Knights of the Fiery Sun Kingdom were already demoralized, and now they had lost all will to fight, thinking only of escape.

For a time, the sky was filled with the bodies of knights and broken-winged pegasi, raining down from above.
