It's the Black Dragon Asos!
George recognized the voice. When Lily advanced, a shadow had appeared, and that was Asos.
"You used us to break your seal?"
George finally figured it out and spoke coldly.
"Call it what you want. We were helping each other," Asos' voice echoed.
Clang, clang...
The chains kept clanging. The last pillar shook even harder, as if it might fall at any moment.
George flew higher again and asked, confused, "You were the final boss of the Underworld, right? Why did you get sealed too?"
"Final boss? Hmph!" Asos roared, "I was tricked by the Demon King. He made me guard the Underworld. I refused, so he sealed me along with the remaining Felborn."
"Demon race King?" George was shocked. Demon race Kings were all top-level monsters over 90. What made this dragon special that a Demon King would seal it here?
Boom, boom...
The pillar shook violently.
George and the others took a step back again. He wasn't sure if Constantine and the others could beat this guy.
"Yes," Asos' angry voice echoed, "I listened to the Demon King Blake's lies and ended up like this."
Blake?
George frowned. He had never heard of a Demon King named Blake.
Or maybe he didn't know any of the Demon Race's strong leaders.
He continued, "I'm curious. What makes you so special that a Demon King would seal you here?"
Haha...
A wild laugh echoed. Asos' voice was full of pride, "I am Asos, the Black Dragon. At my peak, I was a 90-level monster, just one step from becoming a False God. If I hadn't been sealed here, I would have become a real god."
"Idiot. You really can blow," Constantine muttered in disgust.
But George thought the dragon might be telling the truth.
He continued, "We broke your seal. So we're your saviors. How are you going to thank us?"
"You'll see soon enough," Asos said.
Then came a loud crash. The chains clanged again. A thick chain flew out of the black mist, dark red all over. It hit the last piece of land.
The ground shook. Cracks spread quickly.
George frowned and whispered, "Constantine, do you have a chance to kill this guy?"
Constantine looked at the black mist and frowned, "Not sure. This guy feels really strong. We'll have to fight before we know if we can beat him."
Eliex also said, "Maybe he's not lying. He might have really been a 90-level monster before. Otherwise, he would have died long ago in the Aether Spire seal. Now we just hope he still has little strength left."
George was already preparing to retreat. If he really couldn't beat this dragon, he would teleport to the Blazing Angel.
Once he had that angel under control, he would leave this place.
With his current points, even if he didn't kill this dragon, he'd still be the number one.
"Master, I want revenge," the Golden Flame Dragon said.
Asos had killed the previous Golden Flame Dragon - his mother.
Now the enemy was right in front of him. No matter what, he wouldn't give up.
George comforted him, "Don't worry. There will be a chance for you to get revenge."
Suddenly, a loud boom rang out. The last pillar could no longer hold, and it collapsed with a crash, breaking into pieces. A white jade pillar was revealed.
"Constantine!" George pointed.
"Got it!" Constantine understood and quickly dove down, grabbing the falling pillar.
With the last pillar destroyed, the last piece of land also collapsed. The black mist was no longer held back - it surged forward in thick waves.
"Grrr..."
Roars filled the air. From the mist, figures rushed out. They were tall and strong, their armor broken and torn.
[Demon Soldiers, level 50, HP 10,000; the Felborn lackeys, the weakest of the Felborn]
George saw the monster stats.
The weakest of the Felborn?
Was the Felborn that strong?
Even the weakest of them were level 50, way higher than the demon race.
And among the Demon Soldiers were a few even bigger and taller figures.
[Lord Guard (Boss), level 60, stage A tier, HP 500,000]
Stronger Lord Guards.
"Human? Demon race? Die!"
A Lord Guard spotted George and Constantine, and shouted. Then, a wave of Demon Soldiers rushed forward.
"Master, should we retreat?" Elise stood in front of George, magic swirling as she blocked the incoming Demon Soldiers.
He was worried there were even more terrifying things in the mist. It could be dangerous.
George nodded, but before he could speak, the black mist surged. A thick, dark red chain shot out, slamming into the Lord Guard.
Blood filled the air. The Lord Guard was destroyed in an instant, leaving nothing behind.
So strong!
George was shocked.
From the mist, Asos' cold voice echoed: "This human is mine. Anyone who dares to attack, die!"
The Demon Soldiers and Lord Guards were shocked. They looked at the black mist and backed off, no longer paying attention to George. They scattered in all directions.
Clang, clang...
The chains echoed. The mist churned. A deep dragon roar filled the air. From the mist, a huge black shadow emerged.
It was a massive black dragon, covering the sky. In front of it, Constantine looked like a child.
But this dragon had five chains around it.
Its wings, legs, and neck were all bound by red chains.
These five chains were connected to The Aether Spire.
The Aether Spire wasn't sealing the Felborn. It was sealing this dragon, Asos.
George finally saw the dragon's stats.
[Black Dragon Asos (Boss)
Level: 65
Stage: SSS tier
HP: 12,000,000
A genius of the Black Dragon clan. He broke through to the stage of False God, had the power to become a god. To increase his strength, he killed his own kin, was rejected by his clan, then teamed up with the demon race and the Felborn. He was tricked by the Demon King, sealed in the Underworld, and lost his strength, lowering his stage and level. Still, he had huge growth potential...]
George saw Asos' stats.
Level 65, SSS tier, and huge growth potential.
Could he control this guy?
But Asos was 10 levels higher than George.
And there was another reason - this guy was the enemy of the Golden Flame Dragon.
Constantine and Elise had some grudges with him, but it was just about territory, not deep hatred.
But the Golden Flame Dragon was different. This guy had killed the Golden Flame Dragon's mother. That was a big grudge, and it couldn't be ignored.
"Lord, I'll test this guy's strength," Constantine said. He grabbed his War Hammer and a big black bone, then rushed at Asos with a roar.
George knew he wasn't a match for this. It was too late to stop him.
"Haha, interesting little guy."
Asos' huge eyes locked onto Constantine, full of contempt. He flapped his wings, and thick chains shot down with a loud crash.
A big bang. Constantine spat blood and was sent flying back - he couldn't fight back at all.
Not a match!
George frowned. This black dragon was too scary.
"Retreat!" He made a quick decision, rushed to Constantine's side, locked onto the Blazing Angel's position, and used his teleport skill.
"Want to run?" Asos noticed George's plan. He flapped his wings, and two thick red chains shot down with a roar.
The chains sliced through the air, causing two thunder-like sonic booms. But George and the others were already gone.
"This isn't a secret realm pass," Asos frowned and carefully sensed.
"Hmm? How did they end up inside?"
It looked down at the swirling black mist in shock. George's group's energy was clearly showing deep inside the mist.
In fact, the mist below was the real Underworld.
"Wait, there's another energy," Asos sensed something else. Its eyes widened, and its expression turned excited.
"God! A sealed Blazing Angel. Could it be captured by Blake?"
It muttered to itself, then shook its head. "No way. Blake is just a Demon King. He can't fight a god. So it must be another powerful demon. But this actually helps me."
Asos hesitated for a moment, then dove into the mist.
It had been trapped in the Underworld for an endless time. To resist the seal, its strength had dropped a lot, even its stage had fallen to SSS tier.
If it killed the Blazing Angel and got the Angel's Heart, it could return to False God stage and become a true god again.
Then it would make Blake feel what it was like to be trapped and toyed with.
At this moment, George and the others suddenly appeared in a pool deep inside the Underworld.
Endless black mist moved around. This place looked like the area below the surface after the seal broke.
In front of them was a small prison cell. A weak figure was curled up on the ground. The woman wore a white dress, clean and dust-free. But the most eye-catching part was the six pairs of white wings on her back.
"A angel!"
Elise gasped and looked at the girl on the ground with curiosity. She asked, "Master, is this the Blazing Angel you were talking about? She doesn't seem strong at all."
George nodded. The Blazing Angel's stats appeared.
[Blazing Angel Lilia
Stage: SSS tier
Level: 1 tier
HP: 10,000
Stats: Strength 1000, Stamina 1000, Intellect 1000, Dexterity 1000
Skills: Astral Light / Divine Glimmer, the God's Verdict, Divine Flame of Purification, Celestial Wings
A Blazing Angel from the Angel race. She wields powerful light magic. She was tricked by the demon race and locked here by Demon King Blake. Her godly essence was damaged, and her level dropped to 1 tier. She still has huge growth potential, maybe even return to god level...]
