The moment the gate shattered, the fragments, propelled by the violent energy, transformed into deadly weapons!
The largest piece, comparable in size to a mortal's house, screamed through the air and hurtled directly towards Nefarian!
Nefarian's reaction was lightning-fast!
With a furious beat of his dragon wings, he instantly shifted dozens of meters sideways. The massive rock grazed the tip of his raised tail before crashing to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
(Raschio was defeated by the sealed gate) "Roar—!!!"
A roar, as if gathering thousands of thunderbolts, exploded from the shattered opening of the gate!
This roar was filled with millennia of suppressed fury, the ecstasy of breaking free, and a deep-seated, bone-chilling hatred!
Immediately after, a storm rapidly gathered, enveloping the entire Froststone Vault.
Howling winds poured forth from deep within the seal's core, and fractured lightning twisted and flickered in the air, illuminating the massive silhouette slowly emerging.
She had arrived.
From the shattered opening of the seal, a Proto-Dragon, ancient and ferocious in form, appeared.
Her scales were deep blue like the night sky, her sturdy hind limbs supported a body like a mountain, and her short but sharp forelimbs were tucked in front of her chest, poised to strike.
She held her head high, exuding a pure, chilling, primordial majesty.
Between the gaps in her scales, violent blue-white electrical arcs leaped and exploded, as if they could tear the very air apart at any moment!
An invisible force field warped the space around her, and thick electrical arcs like chains coiled around her majestic body, hissing and shooting forth!
Even with every breath, she exhaled fine, crackling electrical sparks!
Her dragon eyes had long transcended the realm of flesh and blood, transforming into two highly compressed thunder cores, seething with destructive will!
Blinding electrical light surged from them, instantly locking onto Nefarian and Adamanthea below!
"Raszageth, the Thunder-Devouring Dragon!" Adamanthea's voice trembled with fear.
In Raszageth's seething thunder eyes, the initial ecstasy of newfound freedom flashed for only a moment before being completely swallowed by the monstrous resentment and bone-deep contempt accumulated from millennia of imprisonment!
"Freedom!!!" She took a deep breath, her voice like a chorus of ten thousand thunders, reverberating through heaven and earth with unconcealed exhilaration and a sense of destructive power!
She slowly lowered her head, her gaze returning to the two black dragons.
But Nefarian suddenly realized that she wasn't looking at them themselves, but through them, fixating on their mortal enemy from ten thousand years ago, who was behind them!
"Nel—tha—ri—on!!!" The name was roared out with the power of thunder, each syllable burning with extreme hatred and mockery!
"You coward! Ten thousand years of imprisonment, and you only send two black dragon whelps to guard me?! Where is your power?! Where is your arrogance?!"
She advanced step by step, her thunderous voice growing more intense, "Have you perhaps retreated into your filthy lair, trembling and afraid to show yourself?!"
In her eyes, Nefarian and Adamanthea were merely symbols of Neltharion's cowardice, ants that could be crushed with a flick of her paw!
"Revenge begins with you!" Raszageth wasted no more words, her forelimb, wreathed in destructive arcs, swung fiercely!
Boom-crack—!!!
A purple lightning pillar, several meters wide and blindingly condensed, pierced through space like a spear of divine wrath tearing the firmament!
Carrying pure destructive will, it shot directly at Nefarian! Its speed surpassed the limits of vision!
Nefarian's pupils contracted to a line, adrenaline surging!
Several magical shields instantly layered in front of him!
His dragon wings beat furiously, attempting to dodge!
But the lightning pillar was too fast, too fierce!
Bang! Boom! Splat!
The outermost shadow shield shattered instantly! The second and third layers were pierced like thin paper! The violent thunderous power slammed heavily into Nefarian's chest!
"Ugh!" Nefarian groaned, his entire dragon body sent flying backward by the immense force!
The chest armor scales where he was hit shattered, and excruciating pain and intense numbness instantly swept through his entire body!
He crashed heavily into the distant mountain like a meteor, then fell, causing rubble to collapse for a moment!
Had it not been for the black dragon's powerful magic resistance and the cushioning of the shields, this blow would have been fatal!
"Die, ant!" Raszageth's thunder eyes locked onto the flung-away Nefarian, her forelimb rising again, and a thicker, more destructive lightning began to gather!
"Stop!" Despite her extreme weakness, seeing Nefarian injured, Adamanthea still shrieked and charged forward!
She desperately spat out a searing dragon breath, attempting to interfere!
"Hmph! Seeking death!" Raszageth didn't even bother to turn her head, her massive tail, covered in lightning, swept directly across!
Crack! Boom!
The dragon breath was easily dispersed! The thick dragon tail, its momentum undiminished, slammed heavily into Adamanthea's flank!
"Pfft—!!!" Blood mixed with shattered scales gushed out!
Adamanthea's massive dragon body crashed to the ground like a broken kite, curling up in pain, completely losing her combat ability.
Nefarian struggled to his feet from the pile of rubble, the intense pain stimulating his nerves.
He stared fixedly at the deep blue Proto-Dragon in the air, who looked like a thunder god descended, his mind racing amidst the agony:
A direct confrontation was hopeless; he could only outwit her!
He slammed his dragon claws into the ground, summoning the power of the earth!
Rumble! Several thick rock pillars burst from the earth, coiling like giant pythons, striking directly at Raszageth in the air!
"Petty tricks!" Raszageth's thunder eyes were filled with disdain, and the violent electrical field around her suddenly expanded!
Sizzle! Boom!
The coiling rock pillars, when they came within a few meters of her body, were instantly pierced, shattered, and turned to powder by the leaping destructive electrical arcs!
They couldn't even get close!
But this brief distraction was enough!
Nefarian flipped his dragon claw, and a five-colored scale was instantly crushed!
A distress signal had been sent; now he just needed to stall for time!
"Storm Domain!" Raszageth spread her wings in fury!
Even more terrifying thunder exploded around her as its center!
Countless twisted lightning chains, like dancing thunder serpents, indiscriminately struck everything around the vault!
The earth was torn apart, rocks were melted, and the entire Froststone Vault ruins instantly transformed into a boiling pool of destructive lightning!
Nefarian dodged frantically amidst the dense lightning serpents!
Magical shields were constantly being pierced and repaired; each time he was grazed by lightning, it brought intense pain and severe numbness.
At this moment, he was like a lone boat in a raging sea, struggling to hold on amidst the destructive thunderous storm!
Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!
The aftermath of the battle far exceeded imagination!
The thunderous power unleashed by Raszageth not only ravaged the surface but also struck the island's foundation like a heavy hammer!
The entire Forbidden Isolated Island trembled violently with her furious breakout and the outpouring of her power!
Mountains crumbled, the earth groaned, and hideous cracks spread like black lightning!
