Original Black took a deep breath, his eyes cold with battle intent.
The base magic circles beneath his feet unfolded layer by layer, and countless dark elements converged toward him.
"Dark Magic: Realm of Dead Darkness!"
With a wave of his hand, a mass of black mist shot out from his palm.
This black mist expanded rapidly, eventually turning into a sphere with a diameter of five hundred meters and a coverage radius of three thousand meters, enveloping the entire valley within.
Inside the sphere, it was filled with countless fine dark element runes, and an eerie fluctuation was released from this sphere.
Dense power of death surged from all sides, as if this sphere were the kingdom of the God of Death; any living thing that fell inside would be completely killed.
By this time, Demiurge had finished charging his power.
"Burn! Purifying Sea of Fire!"
The towering crimson flames in the sky, carrying a world-destroying momentum, smashed fiercely toward that dark sphere like a falling meteor.
Original Black naturally refused to be outdone.
He held his hands up to the void, and infinite dark power began to gather frantically on the surface of the sphere.
Two roars came from his mouth, and the surface of the sphere instantly lit up with a crimson light.
BOOM—!!
A world-shaking explosion rang out.
An unparalleled shockwave violently swept through the entire space.
The flames that burned everything and the black mist of death that swept through all life like the God of Death passing by obscured the entire sky.
The mountain forests within the space were swept by the aftershocks and turned to ash in an instant, and the surrounding mountains collapsed one after another; everything was destroyed.
The violent collision caused the Super-Tier barrier set up by Draco to ripple layer upon layer.
Like a circle of ripples spreading to the surroundings, it gradually dissipated the residual energy in the space.
A long time later.
When the dust settled, the original landscape had completely changed.
A bottomless crater, large enough to hold several tens of thousands of tons of cargo ships, was revealed.
Above that giant crater, Original Black was suspended in mid-air, his black robe fluttering loudly in the fierce wind.
Faint smoke rose from the top of his head, and his cheeks were slightly flushed; clearly, that collision just now was not easy for him either.
On the opposite side, a layer of fine sweat also appeared on Demiurge's forehead.
The energy produced by the collision between the two just now was truly too immense. Even though his body had sufficiently special defensive properties, it was still a bit much to handle.
"You are indeed powerful, to actually be able to take this move of mine..."
Demiurge elegantly pushed up his round-framed glasses. Although his eyes were full of appreciation, his tone carried a hint of disdain.
Hearing this, Original Black similarly smoothed his hair elegantly, "Hmph, likewise."
"In that case..."
Before his voice fell, Original Black's figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and when he reappeared, he had already reached the front of Demiurge.
His right hand was raised high, index finger extended, and sharp demon claws glinted with silver light.
Looking at Original Black's extremely fierce thrust, Demiurge did not dodge; instead, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
Similarly long and thin demon claws collided with Original Black's nails.
CLANG—!!!!
A clanging sound of metal striking metal echoed in the sky.
Demiurge stood on the spot without moving at all, while Original Black retreated two steps.
"Heh, choosing close combat, is the energy in your body insufficient to activate magic?" Demiurge smiled.
Original Black snorted coldly, "Less nonsense."
"Stop, continuing is already meaningless."
After Demiurge repelled Black, he pointed to Draco, who was watching the show in the distance.
"Aren't you worried about your master?"
Hearing these words, Original Black immediately frowned and looked toward Draco, his eyes flashing with a mysterious light.
"Today's victory is undecided. In all the endless ages, you are the second one who could fight me to a draw."
After saying that, Black retracted his claws. Clearly, compared to deciding a winner, his Lord Rimuru was more important.
"I look forward to our next battle."
Seeing this, Draco withdrew the barrier.
"Don't worry, Rimuru is fine."
Clearly, Black didn't believe it; he would only be at ease after seeing it with his own eyes.
Original Black ignored the two and turned into a streak of black light, flying toward the Jura Tempest Federation.
Demiurge slowly flew close to Draco and gave a respectful bow.
"Good work, Demiurge!"
"It is my honor to be of service to you, my lord."
Draco waved his hand, "No need to be so polite."
Demiurge nodded slightly and then asked, "So, Lord, what do we need to do now?"
"First, let's go tear down that Western Anti-Magic Barrier or whatever it's called."
Saying that, Draco led Demiurge toward the four formation eyes of the barrier.
There were still hundreds of Temple Knights guarding the East, West, South, and North directions. Draco didn't let them go to waste and directly bundled these people back to Nazarick.
These are all high-quality humans; how delicious they would be made into small biscuits for Entoma.
After a few rounds of teleportation, he took these people away, and then Draco directly smashed the four formation eyes.
In the next moment, the pyramid-shaped barrier enveloping the Jura Tempest Federation shattered.
When he brought Demiurge back to the Jura Tempest Federation, he saw the trio of Ellen and Vesta, who had escaped the disaster in the Sealed Cave. They were looking sorrowfully at their former companions lying on the square, tears falling like rain.
Even Ranga was lying on the ground, his expression dejected.
Seeing Draco return, Rimuru immediately ran over excitedly.
"Draco, what's next? What do I need to do to resurrect them?"
Draco patted her head and said softly, "Don't worry. Next, I will make them wake up."
"I'm counting on you, Big Brother!"
Rimuru said firmly.
"When you need me, it's 'Big Brother', when you don't, it's 'Draco'. Sigh~"
"Uh..."
