The Dragons watched with nervous expressions as Mu-Gun absorbed and harmonized the Spirit Kings’ divinities, knowing full well that their victory against the Demon God depended on his success. If he failed or ran out of time, defeating the Demon God, who would have fully recovered by then, would prove impossible.
The Dragons wanted to help Mu-Gun but had no means to. He had to solve this on his own. Much to their relief, the longer they waited, the more his energy stabilized. It was proof that the process was going smoothly.
The problem was time. If the Demon God appeared before Mu-Gun was done, they would be helplessly wiped out. The one-day ceasefire they had agreed on was almost over.
Once the Demon God recovered all his power, he would definitely come looking for them. The Dragons prayed earnestly for Mu-Gun to succeed before their enemy could find them.
However, their prayers did not reach the heavens.
While waiting, they sensed huge amounts of energy rapidly approaching the Centrion Mountain Range. The Dragons had no doubt that it belonged to the Demon God.
Sure enough, the Demon God soon came into view, flying from the distance with his dark fiery wings spread out. The Dragons’ faces stiffened, realizing that they were now in the worst-case scenario they could imagine. They looked back at Mu-Gun, but there were no signs of him waking up.
Blaze turned to Antalion.
- We have to hold him off no matter what.
Antalion’s expression stiffened.
- We cannot possibly deal with the Demon God on our own.
The Demon God hunting them down could only mean that he had already recovered all his power. Considering he was already a threat to Mu-Gun and the Dragons before, it would be impossible to stop him now without Mu-Gun. Even just stalling for time would likely be extremely difficult.
- It does not matter. The least we can do is try.
Thermeon nodded, agreeing with Blaze.
- I agree. We have no other choice. Let us hope that Argon will wake up before the Demon God can wipe us out and get to him.
- It has not even been long since we left God’s boundary, yet we are already about to risk being annihilated.

- This would allow us to fulfill the mission that Dragon God Bracant had given us. It would be great if we could destroy the Demon God now that we have come this far, but if we are not strong enough to do that, we can at least lay down our lives for the one who can.
- This might lead to the Dragon clans’ extinction. I wonder if Dragon God Bracant hoped for this to happen as well.
- If we cannot defeat the Demon God, all living beings in Avalon would be wiped out anyway. We can only hope that our deaths will help stop that from happening.
Dark flames blasted out of Baal and wrapped around him, taking the shape of a thirty-meter demon with dark fiery wings and dark horns. He had assumed his True Form.
Mu-Gun wore his Dragon Scale Divine Armor, which used three of the Dragons’ Mana Hearts as its core. The armor itself had divinity, which it transferred to its user, Mu-Gun, to increase his divinity.
Baal frowned, realizing that Mu-Gun’s divinity was far more powerful than he expected. Considering the situation, he could no longer guarantee his victory.
‘My decision backfired.’
Although Baal mistakenly believed that it would be beneficial for him to drag out the time, he did not regret it. It wouldn’t be easy, but he concluded that the odds were still in his favor.
“Let’s begin, shall we?”
Taking the initiative, Baal flew toward Mu-Gun, reaching him in the blink of an eye. He sent a Dark Flame Fist toward the Dragon Scale Divine Armor’s chest, but Mu-Gun simply thrust his knee up, deflecting the attack upward. Immediately after, he fired a Heavenly Descent Thunder Strike at Baal’s chest.
Golden palm energy extended from the Dragon Scale Divine Armor’s right hand and attempted to pierce through the Demon God. The distance and its speed gave him no time to dodge.
The Heavenly Descent Thunder Strike spread through the dark flames and struck the Baal in the chest. However, it disappeared just as it hit, devoured by the dark flames.
Taken aback, Mu-Gun momentarily hesitated. Capitalizing on this brief opening, Baal tried to punch Mu-Gun in the face, but the latter swiftly leaned back and stepped away. Baal extended both his hands and sent a Demonic Dragon after him.
Mu-Gun reached his arm out toward the Demonic Dragon as he conjured an Infinite Thunder Sword using the Infinite God Qi. The sword stretched forward like Sun Wukong’s Jingu Bang, piercing and shattering the Demonic Dragon into pieces.
The power of annihilation was not absolute. It could not affect forces stronger than itself. Hence, although it managed to nullify the Heavenly Descent Thunder Strike, it could not do anything against the Infinite Thunder Sword.
Following that information, Mu-Gun attacked the Demon God using the Infinite Thunder Sword. The Celestial Moonlight Sword Art techniques he unleashed through his weapon covered the sky and rained down on his target.
However, the Demon God easily blocked his attacks using the Dark Flame Shield, allowing him to launch a counterattack. Determined to end it with his next offensive, he summoned multiple Demonic Dragons far more powerful than the Dragons.
Despite the dozens of Demonic Dragons rampaging toward him, Mu-Gun stood his ground, summoning and launching Infinite Thunder Swords in quick succession. Each one stabbed through a Demonic Dragon and disappeared with it.
As the golden swords and the Demonic Dragons committed mutual destruction, Mu-Gun and Baal flew toward each other and unleashed a golden sword and a Demonic Dragon, respectively. Their attacks took out the other, preventing neither side from gaining the upper hand.
Realizing that trying to overwhelm Baal with brute force alone would get him nowhere, Mu-Gun summoned twice as many golden swords to overwhelm him with numbers instead. Baal did not back down from the challenge, increasing the number of his Demonic Dragons as well.
Golden swords and Demonic Dragons filled the sky above the Centrion Mountain Range. Just like before, the two techniques destroyed each other, filling the sky with golden sparks and dark embers. From a distance, the colorful explosions likely looked like a fireworks display.
Before the explosions subsided, Mu-Gun and Baal once again doubled their golden swords and Demonic Dragons. Their clash created a shockwave so powerful that it sent tremors throughout the entire Centrion Mountain Range, yet neither managed to tilt the tide of the battle in their favor this time either.
Unable to kill the Demon God with the Infinite Thunder Swords, Mu-Gun realized he needed to launch a far more powerful offensive.
