"Thank you for your help, Lord Hades." Kairi Shishigami let out a sigh of relief and spoke gratefully to Hades.
Hades waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that. I just wanted to save my own dragon. Besides, it would be a shame for a top-tier duo like you two to die just like that."
Hearing Hades call him and Mordred a top-tier duo, Kairi Shishigami silently turned his head toward Mordred. At that moment, Mordred was stretching and letting out a breath. Thinking back on everything that had happened since arriving in Romania, it wasn't entirely unreasonable to call her a top-tier partner. At the thought, a smile appeared on Kairi Shishigami's fierce, gangster-like face.
"Awoooo—!!!"
At that moment, Bašmu's nine heads emerged together, attacking Stardust Dragon and Assault Mode. The three pairs of eyes on each head flickered with an eerie light as the Petrifying Mystic Eyes activated. The flowers, plants, and trees of the Hanging Gardens it gazed upon all turned into gray stone in an instant.
Furthermore, the rocky ground in front of the two dragons also turned gray, and the petrification continued to spread forward. The originally hard rock suddenly became fragile salt ore.
Sacrificial Sanctuary—!!!
Stardust Dragon's wings closed in front of it, turning into a white shield. The wing-shield emitted a white stardust light, instantly suppressing Bašmu's Petrifying Mystic Eyes.
"The Petrifying Mystic Eyes were suppressed?! Excellent! Let's go too, Blackwing Dragon!!" Seeing Bašmu's Mystic Eyes suppressed by Stardust Dragon's Sacrificial Sanctuary, Charon grabbed Blackwing Dragon's black mane and spoke to it excitedly.
"Roar—!!!"
After a long roar, Blackwing Dragon immediately dove toward Bašmu with Charon and Vlad III. As it dove, orange light flashed across its body. Some orange mane appeared among Blackwing Dragon's black mane, and it was also equipped with parts of black armor. Several white transparent orbs were embedded in the sharp claws serving as its feet.
[Blackwing Assault Dragon] (Level: 10 / Attribute: Dark / Type: Dragon / ATK: 3200 / DEF: 2800)
"So you can also increase your power by changing your form," Vlad III said, somewhat stunned as he looked at Blackwing Assault Dragon's new appearance.
Blackwing Protection - Counter Descent—!!!
Blackwing Assault Dragon flapped its wings, and the blood-red portions of its black wings transformed into red beams of light that shot out.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Like a bombardment, all the red beams fell upon Bašmu. At this moment, Bašmu's attention was entirely on Stardust Dragon, completely unaware of the aerial strike from Blackwing Assault Dragon above.
After a round of bombardment, Bašmu's body was covered in holes of various sizes, but it immediately used part of the power from the greater grail granted by Semiramis to recover. Its Petrifying Mystic Eye ability was also forced to stop just now.
Subsequently, it split off three heads to deal with the two Assault Mode dragons, and then split off several more heads to attack Blackwing Assault Dragon, Black Rose Dragon, and Ancient Fairy Dragon in the sky. The three dragons in the sky counterattacked with dragon breath, directly repelling Bašmu's incoming heads. Atop Black Rose Dragon, Frankenstein gripped the dragon's wings tightly and let out a low growl:
"Ugh ugh ugh (Keep attacking, Black Rose Dragon)!!!"
"Roar—!!!" Black Rose Dragon seemed to understand Frankenstein's words. Its entire body emitted a gem-like pink light. The black petal-like patterns on its black rose petal wings glowed pink, and the rose wings and crest on its body became like rubies. Several more black thorny tails appeared behind it.
[Red Lotus Rose Dragon] (Level: 10 / Attribute: Fire / Type: Dragon / ATK: 3200 / DEF: 2400)
"So beautiful! It's just like a gemstone!!" Astolfo said in pleasant surprise, looking at the wings of Red Lotus Rose Dragon beneath him. Every petal on its wings was like a top-grade ruby, reflecting Astolfo's face as clearly as a mirror.
Black Rose Gale—!!!
Red Lotus Rose Dragon continuously flapped its wings, and a storm mixed with rose petals swept in, enveloping Bašmu.
"Awoooo—!!!"
In the storm, countless petals were like sharp divine weapons, constantly slicing through Bašmu's flesh, causing it to wail in agony.
Seeing this, Bašmu intended to counterattack with its Petrifying Mystic Eyes, hoping to turn those sharp petals into stone.
"Don't even think about it!! Ancient Fairy Dragon!!" Jeanne d'Arc saw through Bašmu's intentions. Sitting on Ancient Fairy Dragon's back, she raised her battle flag spear high and shouted, looking every bit like a valiant female dragon knight.
"Roar!" Ancient Fairy Dragon raised its head high, and its butterfly wings slowly unfurled, emitting a holy, dazzling light like the sun. In an instant, Ancient Fairy Dragon seemed to transform into a real sun, illuminating the entire Hanging Gardens.
Bašmu, being the closest, could not endure the dazzling light and directly closed all the eyes on its heads, not daring to look directly at the brilliant radiance.
"Roar—!!"
Seeing that Bašmu didn't dare open its eyes, Stardust Dragon and Assault Mode seized the opportunity and charged toward Bašmu, turning into red and white meteors.
The red and white meteors danced in the air. Wherever they passed, Bašmu's flesh flew everywhere. Bašmu didn't even have time to scream; the eyes of each head that was knocked off were filled with a dazed expression. Before long, Bašmu was annihilated, with not even a piece of flesh remaining.
"Even Bašmu, one of Tiamat's eleven children, has been defeated." Seeing Bašmu destroyed, Semiramis collapsed limply to the ground, looking as if she were exhausted.
Then, Blackwing Assault Dragon, Red Lotus Rose Dragon, and Ancient Fairy Dragon in the sky slowly descended. The Servants on their backs jumped down from the Duel Dragons one by one. Hades walked slowly toward Semiramis and said, "Alright, take us to your Master, Assassin of 'Red', the world's oldest poisoner, the Assyrian Empress Semiramis."
"When did you find out my True Name?" Semiramis, slumped on the ground, was so startled that she hurriedly scrambled backward.
Hades drew the Hades Sword and said, "You don't need to know. You only need to know that you are about to return to the Throne of Heroes."
Hades swung his sword, and Semiramis closed her eyes in despair, welcoming her Death.
Clang—!!!
A clear sound of clashing metal and sparks rang out. Hearing this, Semiramis opened her eyes.
"Rider! Lancer!"
Achilles and Karna held their respective spears, using all their strength to block Hades's strike.
