Chapter 640 -67: Radiating Brilliance_2
Cassius spread his wings that spanned nearly sixty meters wide, with flames spurting from the edges of the wing membrane, violently spreading to both sides.
The entire sky seemed to be torn apart by those horizon-spanning, thousand-kilometer-wide fiery wings.
“Whoosh—”
Red Dragon Huan slowly waved its wings, and in an instant, Flowing Flame splattered everywhere, shrouding all of Isdalia in a hazy glow, filled with scorching air.
“It’s time…”
Cassius mobilized all the Bloodline Power in his body, his burning heart thumping wildly, the scalding Ancestral Dragon Blood flowing through his veins, with Gunpowder Smoke carrying the scent of sulfur billowing out from his pores.
The surging light penetrated through his body, gradually gathering at his chest, eventually converging within the Dragon Crystal.
At this moment, the Red Dragon hung high in the sky, casting a radiance of ten thousand zhang, even eclipsing the Sun, as if it were a true Sun in the heavens.
People were dazzled by the blinding light, yet they remained immensely devout, continuously offering prayers.
“Cassius above…”
“Praise the Ashen Empire’s Emperor!”
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the never-setting Sun of the Empire!”
Subsequent to that, Cassius’s thunderous voice echoed between heaven and earth, rolling over the vast wastelands, thundering unceasingly like Thunder.
“I, as the Ashen Empire’s Emperor, hereby proclaim—those who are enemies of the Empire, I shall bestow upon them Destruction!”
“Swish—”
As his words fell, piercing explosions rang out, with meteors descending from the sky, falling amongst the terrified and astonished crowd.
Several panicked “people” were struck, their human skins burning away to reveal the demon’s true face, screaming in agony as they were burned to Ashes.
The flames completely incinerated the demons hidden in the crowd, yet did not harm bystanders in the slightest.
“There are still demons within the Empire’s territory, it was just hiding amongst us!”
“Thank goodness His Majesty is discerning! Seeing through the true face of demons!”
“Grateful to His Majesty! Praise the Ashen Empire’s Emperor!”
The people did not know that these demons had been deliberately let into the city by Cassius, just to add momentum to the blessing ritual.
Meanwhile, in the crowded mass of people, Richard quietly wiped off his sweat, thinking that the all-knowing Emperor had seen through his treasonous thoughts and had brought down furious Thunder.
It seems now that he had perhaps been overly nervous.
Such an existence, how could he care about someone as insignificant as a mere Ranger like himself?
That thunderous voice continued, the air itself trembling slightly, as if the death of a dozen or so demons was just an insignificant interlude.
“And those who are loyal to the Empire—I shall also bestow upon them supreme glory, granting them eternal strength!”
Beams of light shot down from the sky, like bonds connecting heaven and earth, casting upon the people at the Isdalia Grand Altar, enveloping them in Radiance.
“No…”
“Abir…”
Staring at the gradually blurring figure, Richard completely fell into despair, stretching his hand powerlessly towards the distance, his gaze dimming.
Cassius slowly clenched his claws, the tumultuous ancestral bloodline power within him bursting forth completely.
He had already refined a lot of Ancestral Dragon Blood, and the power brought about by this blessing was unprecedented, even allowing some Retainers to reach the level of a True Dragon.
[Bloodline Gift]
Suddenly, with those beams of light as the bond, the Ashen Empire’s Emperor and his Retainers’ bodies, spirits, and even souls were connected.
“Ah.”
Under this power, all the people at the Isdalia Grand Altar couldn’t help but kneel to the ground, even curling up their bodies.
Scarlet scales gradually protruded under their skin, Gunpowder Smoke with the scent of sulfur spewed out from their mouths and noses, and scales horns protruded on their foreheads, while those with rich bloodlines underwent even more astonishing transformations.
The Great Goblin Dolores knelt on the ground, sweating profusely with steaming white vapor swirling about, and massive bulges protruded from his back like a volcano about to erupt, seemingly on the verge of splitting the skin.
In the pain of metamorphosis, he gritted his teeth, sharp fangs protruding, Gunpowder Smoke hissing from between the teeth.
“Sizzle—”
Suddenly, a sound of skin tearing apart rang out, and Great Goblin fiercely raised his head, spreading his arms wide, emitting a heart-wrenching agonizing roar.
Immediately after, newly formed Dragon Wings abruptly unfurled behind him, stained with fresh blood, flinging droplets all around.
In the midst of heavy panting, this nearly four-meter-tall Dragon Vein Goblin ascended into the air, stirring up gusts of scorching wind.
“Roar—”
That was a roar akin to the Dragon’s Roar.
The Dragon Vein Ogre standing at the very peak of the altar also let out a muffled growl, likewise half-kneeling on the ground, still towering over three meters tall even in this posture.
Under that light, Ramp’s body expanded with every breath, becoming swollen, while his scales grew more dense.
Behind the Ogre, two protrusions also emerged, as if something was about to break out from within.
Suddenly, another sound of flesh being torn filled the air, two leathery wings ripped through flesh and skin, appearing behind Ramp. The wings flapped incessantly, buzzing—but that did not lift the Ogre off the ground even slightly.
Now Ramp stood nearly ten meters tall, hugely corpulent, simply standing there like a weighty small hill.
Yet, his wings were only… a little over a meter long, they resembled a tiny ornament rather than wings.
“Roar—”
The Ogre, feeling the surging Dragon Vein Power within, opened his maw full of sharp fangs, letting out a roar of pleasure.
