Chương 489: Chapter : 489

"Behold true destruction!" Ryu announced proudly. A massive column of crimson fire erupted from Ryu's body. The fire shot straight into the black sky. The heat was absolutely unbelievable. The cobblestones beneath his feet instantly turned into glowing, bubbling lava. The air around him warped and shimmered. Ryu's body began to change. His bones cracked and expanded loudly. His armor dissolved into pure magical energy. He grew larger and larger. He did not just grow a few feet.

He grew to the size of a massive, towering building. He transformed into a gigantic, traditional red dragon. The dragon was absolutely colossal. Huge, leathery wings stretched across the sky. Thick, dark red scales covered his massive body. Long, sharp horns grew from his head. His golden eyes burned like twin suns. He looked like an ancient god of fire. Ken stared up at the giant dragon. He kept his Sovereign mask perfectly still. But his mind was totally amazed.

"That is incredibly cool," Ken thought casually. He watched the giant wings flap.

"He turned into an actual giant dragon. Usually, a protagonist needs to collect seven shiny magic balls to see something like that. My team is completely overpowered. This is the absolute best cheat code ever. I love magic." Ryu let out a deafening roar. The roar pushed the dark clouds away. The sheer force of the sound waves knocked the flying gargoyles right out of the sky. The monsters crashed onto the streets below. The dragon opened his massive jaws.

Deep inside his throat, a blinding, glowing ball of crimson fire gathered rapidly. He unleashed his ultimate breath attack. A gigantic, roaring ocean of pure fire shot from his mouth. The flame magic rained down upon the enemy army like a devastating waterfall. The heat was so intense it defied all logic. It turned the plaza as bright as day. The fire hit the Black Spirit monsters. The monsters did not even have time to scream. They did not turn into ash.

The absolute temperature of the flames instantly melted them. They melted into bubbling black puddles. The dark magic evaporated completely into the air. The giant trolls tried to block the fire with their stone clubs. The clubs melted in seconds. The trolls dissolved into liquid. The serpentine beasts tried to slither away. The flames caught them and erased them from existence entirely. The battlefield turned into a massive sea of crimson fire. The fire did not burn the buildings.

Ryu carefully controlled the magic. He only burned the monsters. He demonstrated perfect mastery of his element.

"Incredible area-of-effect damage," Ken analyzed casually in his head. He watched the flames sweep across the streets.

"He is basically a walking nuke. The enemy health bars are dropping to zero instantly. I do not even have to lift a finger. This is maximum slacker efficiency. Ryu deserves a bonus for this." If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. Javier watched his massive army melt. He stood on a safe stone balcony. His face turned totally pale. He lost his arrogant smile. He looked absolutely terrified. His eyes darted back and forth.

"This is impossible!" Javier shrieked. He gripped the stone railing tightly.

"A dragon?! Where did he find a legendary dragon?! My army is gone! I cannot lose like this! I refuse to lose!" Javier refused to accept defeat. He raised his hands again. He channeled every single drop of dark mana he possessed. His eyes bled toxic purple light. He pulled the dark energy from the destroyed portals.

"I will destroy your lizard!" Javier screamed desperately.

"Arise, Black Crow!" Javier used a forbidden resurrection spell. The dark magic swirled in the sky above the burning streets. The scattered black ash from the previous battles gathered together. The ash formed a massive, swirling tornado of pure darkness. A colossal bird materialized from the tornado. It was the Black Crow. But it was not the same bird Karna defeated earlier. This bird was ten times larger. It was a mutated, ultimate version. Its feathers were made of solid, burning black fire.

The black fire consumed ambient light. The bird let out a horrific, ear-piercing screech. It sounded like tearing metal. The Black Crow dived toward the giant red dragon. It opened its beak. It unleashed a massive torrent of black flames. The black fire clashed with Ryu's crimson fire. The two elements pushed against each other in the sky. It was a massive clash of raw power. The black flames tried to eat the red flames. The dark magic was incredibly stubborn. It fought hard against the dragon's breath.

Ken watched the struggle. He slouched his shoulders slightly under his dark cloak.

"Oh, a second phase boss," Ken mumbled lazily in his mind. He rolled his eyes internally.

"The bad guy just used a revive item. That is very annoying. Black fire is such an edgy anime trope. Someone needs to counter that immediately. I really want to go home and eat." Karna stood on a nearby rooftop. He watched the giant birds clash. He saw the black fire spreading. Karna did not use his golden bow this time. He raised his hand. He decided to use a different element entirely. He wanted to show Javier the true meaning of absolute despair. He wanted to finish the fight completely.

"Your dark flames are pitiful," Karna announced smoothly. His polite voice echoed across the burning city.

"Allow me to show you the ultimate heat. I will burn your very shadows." Karna activated his special hidden power. He summoned eternal lava flames. A bright, blinding mixture of orange and white magma erupted from Karna's hands. This was not normal fire. It was primordial, unstoppable lava. It carried the absolute heat of the earth's core. It glowed with a terrifying intensity. Karna threw his arms forward. A massive, towering wave of liquid magma shot into the sky. It moved like a violent volcanic eruption.

The lava wave crashed directly into the giant Black Crow. The black flames tried to consume the lava. They failed completely. The eternal lava flames were simply too hot. They overpowered the dark magic instantly. The magma washed over the giant bird. The black feathers hissed loudly. The dark fire sputtered and died out entirely in a single second. The Black Crow screeched in pure agony. The lava completely engulfed its massive body. The eternal flames melted the dark creature perfectly.

The bird shattered into a million pieces of glowing orange rock. The pieces rained down onto the empty streets. They cooled and turned into harmless stone. The ultimate monster was totally, permanently destroyed. It would not revive again. Karna lowered his hands. The magma vanished from the air. He brushed a speck of dust off his sleek black jacket. He did not break a single sweat. He looked completely relaxed. Ryu roared triumphantly in his dragon form. He stopped breathing fire.

The enemy army was completely gone. One hundred thousand monsters were melted into nothingness. The plaza was totally empty. The dark threat was eliminated.
