Chapter 154: The Blazing Sun High in the Sky!
Just as Xino Dragon saw Kassen Skullcrusher, the latter also caught sight of the former standing in the middle of the battlefield.
An ugly face immediately revealed a bloodthirsty smile, and a pair of pupils burning with the desire to kill seemed to convey, "We meet again."
Xino looked at him with disbelief, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Undead?
No—
That guy is definitely not an Undead!
He could not feel even the slightest trace of Undead Energy emanating from that Ogre!
At that moment, a barely possible likelihood suddenly surfaced in Xino's mind.
Indeed, this fellow had been killed by himself!
Only, not long after that, the Kassen he had killed entered the Chaos Rebirth Pool to receive the baptism of the Flame of Destruction, and soon after, with memories of his past life, he was reborn in a stronger form!
This guy was reborn once more!
And with the help of Ritual Magic, he rapidly grew to adulthood!
Watching those fearless Kao soldiers, Xino suddenly realized their way of survival and finally understood why those with a bloodlust did not destroy themselves.
They please Calmandes with their brief lives, ascend their souls after death, and reincarnate to become His warriors!
What Calmandes grants them is not immortality, yet it is no different from it.
Because after death, they will return to the battlefield before long, facing their opponents with even greater strength!
This is their way of survival!
If he had been the one killed at that time, the final outcome would probably be the same as his, entering this endless cycle of death...
"Such an utter blasphemy..."
Xino swallowed hard, feeling his scalp tingle.
Especially when he thought that if he had lost to that guy behind the Gate of Chaos, his ultimate fate would most likely be to become like that guy, reincarnating endlessly within life and death, and experiencing demise over and over again...
Even a Horror Demon born in the deepest pits of Hell couldn't help but feel that this was a bit too Hellish.
Blue blood seeped from beneath Valgur's carapace, suddenly freezing into frost and climbing up along the battle blade that pierced the false sheath, eventually touching Kassen's fingers.
Kassen, who had been laughing wantonly, suddenly had a chilling expression, and quickly pulled out the battle blade embedded in the giant Frost Beetle's head.
Although he reacted quickly, it was still a step too late; his fingers had turned into an ice sculpture in just a moment.
That was a curse flowing in the Frost Beetle's blood!
Looking at the frozen ice-sculpted fingers, Kassen suddenly grinned maliciously and squeezed his right hand violently, crushing the frozen fingers to dust!
Seeing as the little bugs sticking to his back refused to leave, Valgur finally raised his head and let out an angry roar, pressing his belly to the ground.
As he pressed his massive and cumbersome body down, thousands of Frost Beetles began crawling towards his back.
Kassen swung the battle blade in his hand, knocking down more than a dozen Frost Beetles that had climbed close. However, even as a chosen of the Chaos God, he seemed somewhat unable to withstand the tide-like onslaught for a moment.
Seeing the surging insect swarm about to overwhelm him, the Ogre suddenly roared and hurled the battle blade in his hand into the air.
With a clinking metal clash, the chains that entangled his body flew towards the dome like a fishing line bursting from the reel, all led by the whistling battle blade!
At this moment, a Winged Dragon Cavalry swooped by, catching the flying chain, followed by a quick upward jerk of the reins.
Under the Winged Dragon's pull, Kassen, holding onto the chain, was like taking an elevator, leaping into the air before the swarm could grind him down!
As the little bug that had just unleashed a barrage on his back was about to fly away, Valgur emitted an angry roar and spit out a Breath of Frost towards the dome!
The foggy breath, almost solid, seemed as if even the air had frozen into ice!
However, the Breath of Frost was ultimately too slow. It was easily dodged by the swooshing Winged Dragon Cavalry, not even brushing a hair.
Kassen's face showed a mocking and cruel smile.
Just as he spun around, catching the chain and about to return to the fight, a dense rain of arrows suddenly blanketed the skies!
The whistling sound of piercing air was like locusts!
The Winged Dragon circling in the sky had no chance to understand what had happened before it, along with the Cavalry on its back, was struck by roaring crossbow bolts and turned into a porcupine!
"Gabeng—!" The Winged Dragon, bleeding profusely, let out a piercing howl, tumbling uncontrollably in the air before plummeting.
And at the same moment, Valgur, raising its head, opened its gaping maw and, with one loud Gabeng, turned the falling Winged Dragon into a blood mist!
In that critical moment, Kassen timely let go of the chain in his hand, flying out with the momentum, narrowly avoiding being carried away by the colossal Frost Beetle.
Still, despite that, the thrown Kassen crashed heavily onto the open ground a hundred meters away, smashing a deep pit into the parched, cracked soil!
Thankfully, the cushion of thick fat prevented what could have been a re-killing of the newly reborn Ogre just from this fall alone!
Kassen staggered to his feet from the ground, shaking off the dirt on his body, trying to figure out what had just happened.
