Second World

When Quetzalcoatl fell due to the chaos lance in his chest, Broidrireg had to fight Azzarilth alone. Broidrireg could only use quick spells in that condition, and he mostly had to perform evasive maneuvers while Azzarilth charged at him.

"You are still as slippery as I remember," Azzarilth scoffed.

"And you are always in a constant state of unrest," Broidrireg returned. "I have told you multiple times to find your inner peace. You never listen."

"Hahaha! You are still lecturing me? After all these millennia, you are still as insufferable as you were. No wonder the number of true dragons was declining."

"How dare you mention that?! If not for your betrayal, we wouldn't have been in the state we are now!" Broidrireg roared. He cast a spell that conjured uncountable water spears.

Azzarilth had chaos armor protecting her. She barged through those water spears as if they were nothing. Her claws slashed madly. They produced a net of void tears that surrounded Broidrireg.

Broidrireg retreated while casting. Several of Azzarilth's void-tear energies dug into his body. He roared from the pain but he maintained his concentration. He was lucky the attacks that hit him didn't trigger the cancellation of his spellcasting.

His spell was cast. A huge ice cube encased him. The ice cube endured the void tears. Its reflective surfaces shone and the chaotic energies from the void tears were reflected at Azzarilth.

Azzarilth expected this outcome when she saw the Reflective Ice Cube appear. She cast Teleportation to dodge the reflected void energies. She reappeared above the ice cube and her four claws slammed into the ice cube. The ice cube could only resist her brute strength for half a second before giving in. It cracked and shattered into diamond dust.

Broidrireg had been casting two spells under the protection of the ice cube. When Azzarilth destroyed the ice cube, he still needed another second for his spells.

Azzarilth was about to strike Broidrireg when a torrent of hot flames washed over her. She looked over and found an archdemon lord in the vicinity.

After seeing Quetzalcoatl fall from the sky, Jack sent the archdemon lord to aid Broidrireg. The archdemon lord's level was still too low to join this fight but Jack thought it was better than nothing.

Jack's decision wasn't wrong. Though the archdemon lord couldn't cause decent damage to Azzarilth, it still distracted her enough that Broidrireg was able to complete his spells.

A huge water orb encased Azzarilth while another giant orb with ten tentacles appeared next to Broidrireg. Broidrireg then retreated to prepare stronger spells. The Water Decapus and the Archdemon Lord assailed Azzarilth who was immobilized by the Oppressive Water Prison

"Hahaha!" Azzarilth was still laughing madly despite her situation. A burst of chaotic flames erupted from her body. These flames evaporated the water orb that was imprisoning her, before solidifying into a black fiery sphere around her.

She shot forward with this sphere protecting her. Her speed was even faster than before. The water decapus tried using its tentacles to stop Azzarilth but those tentacles burst into particles of water when they touched the dark fiery sphere around Azzarilth.

The dark fiery sphere was the Sphere of Svalinn, like the one Jygorth possessed. With Azzarilth as its user, this skill was even more potent. It provided Azzarilth with ultimate defense and increased her overall stats. Normally, enemies touched by the Sphere of Svalinn received dark-element damage, but her chaos armor was still active. She manipulated the two active skills and caused them to interface and enhance one another. The Sphere of Svalinn now dealt chaos damage.

Broidrireg thought his two spells could delay Azzarilth enough that he could cast stronger spells, but it turned out it was not the case. Azzarilth's speed under the chaos-empowered Sphere of Svalinn was staggering. He was caught off guard. Azzarilth slammed herself into Broidrireg.

Broidrieg was flung from the slam. His lengthy body tumbled in the air as the spell formations he had been casting fizzled out of existence.

Azzarilth then veered to the other side where the Archdemon Lord was. It had been casting a spell. A blade of doom cut forth toward the approaching Azzarilth. She didn't slow. The flaming blade thrust into the sphere and was obliterated into cinders upon contact.

She smashed into the Archdemon Lord. If even Broidrireg couldn't withstand the impact, how could the Archdemon Lord? It was thrown by the collision, but it didn't fly far. Its body was forcefully stopped and pulled back toward Azzarilth.

Azzarilth used Telekinesis to pull the Archdemon Lord back. The archdemon lord tried to cast a spell while being pulled, but it froze when it stared into Azzarilth's eyes. It then screamed as if it was in immense pain. The spell it was casting was stopped.

Azzarilth's claw slammed into the Archdemon Lord when it returned to her melee range. The claw strike produced a large void tear. The claw strike not only caused tremendous damage but also left gaping wounds on the archdemon lord's body.

"Weak beings should stay out of this fight," Azzarilth uttered before she opened her mouth and released her divine chaos breath.

The archdemon lord was continuously burned by the chaos fire as it was sent tumbling down to the ground. When it hit the ground, a chaotic explosion resulted. Other land soldiers who were unfortunately in the blast radius mostly didn't survive.

As for the Archdemon Lord, it was lying still on the burning ground. Its face displayed agony. It still had a few HP left but it just lay on the ground without moving. What it suffered was Azzarilth's mind-dooming gaze. It was a powerful eye skill that not only incapacitated its target but probably also destroyed its target's mind. The archdemon lord would most likely just lay there until its duration ended.

A bolt of lightning struck Azzarilth after she used her breath attack on the archdemon lord. She turned to the one who sent the lightning bolt and chuckled.

"You almost die, and you still dare to come before me?"

Quetzalcoatl had freed himself from the Chaos Lance, but he was not in a good condition. His HP was less than one-third and there was a wound on his chest where the chaos lance pierced. The chaos lance was similar to the eldritch beholder's Dark Plaguing Spears. It had the effect of preventing heals and stopping recovery ability. The effect's duration from Chaos Lance was even longer than the dark plaguing spears. This meant that Quetzalcoatl had a high chance of dying if he insisted on continuing the battle.

"Quetzalcoatl, retreat!" Broidrireg ordered.

"I won't leave you and let you fight her by yourself!" Quetzalcoatl exclaimed.

"You, fool! You listen to me and retreat right now!" Broidrireg yelled. He had seen enough death of the true dragons. He couldn't afford to witness another one. He sent a mental message to Jack to ask Four Winds to forcefully unsummon Quetzalcoatl.

"Hahaha! Considering we are once a family, I will give you thirty seconds to decide to retreat. If you remain stubborn, then don't blame me," Azzarilth laughed.

"I won't leave!" Quetzalcoatl repeated his statement. He turned to Broidrireg and said, "You can't win against her alone. You need my support."

Broidrireg was about to say something when a deep voice echoed from the clouds above. "He won't be alone. I will fight by his side."

They looked up and saw a silver-scaled dragon descended from the clouds. The dragon was Eoranth.
