EPHS-Chapter 577 Extrajudicial Death Dragon

Following the pre-established battle plan, everyone centered around their respective kings and team captains and headed towards the enemy's headquarters— the city hall of the floating island.

Their objective was to eliminate as many enemy forces as possible and then regroup at the city hall. If anyone discovered Rizevim beforehand, they would quickly contact the others.

Everyone sprang into action, leaving only Tenraku and the Ravel girls behind.

"Ravel, you all stay on the outskirts and deal with those Evil Dragons. Don't venture inside, understand?" 

Tenraku instructed Ravel, Kunou, Elmen, and Le Fay.

Although the girls were talented, they were still young and lacked both strength and experience. This battle was no joke, so Tenraku had no intention of letting them enter the most dangerous areas.

"We understand, Onii-Chan."

While Ravel might usually display some princess-like temperament, she nodded understandingly this time. With their current strength, going up against truly terrifying opponents would not only be futile but could also hinder their older siblings.

Ravel and the others had the coordinates for Space Leap, so if they were in danger, Tenraku could rush to their aid at any time. However, after giving it some thought, Tenraku decided to manifest the ice princess Queen, Absolute Demise, along with Ravel and her group. This way, everything would be foolproof.

After arranging things for Ravel and her group, Tenraku didn't linger any longer and led Walburga, Raynare, Mittelt, Kalawarner, and the other members of his peerage towards the city hall in the center...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Roars echoed across the entire floating island as intense battles erupted. Dozens of mass-produced Evil Dragons swooped down from the sky, but before Tenraku could intervene, Yubelluna and Walburga's group had already wiped them out.

The once bustling city on Agreas's floating island, where Tenraku and Sairaorg had their match, had now become a nest for these mass-produced Evil Dragons ever since Rizevim took over. The entire city was in ruins because of them.

Although there were continuous enemy attacks along the way, they were all minor threats, and Tenraku couldn't be bothered to deal with them. He had expected this situation to continue until they found Rizevim. However, what was unexpected was—

"Oh... Finally, someone decent has arrived."

Tenraku squinted, a smile appearing on his face.

In the view of Tenraku and the Yubelluna girls, hundreds of mass-produced Evil Dragons flew towards them from afar. But what stood in front of these Evil Dragons was a long, slender Giant Dragon covered in black scales.

Unlike ordinary mass-produced Evil Dragons, this one emitted an extremely evil and powerful aura, almost reaching Heavenly Dragon level!

"Who is that, Walburga?" 

Not recognizing the figure, Tenraku asked Walburga, who, as a former member of [Qlippoth], should know the identity of the opponent.

"That's Niðhöggr, the Extrajudicial Death Dragon. A very unpleasant fellow with a terrible personality, resurrected by Rizevim using the Holy Grail, a legendary Evil Dragon."

Twirling her cute parasol, Walburga wore a disgusted expression.

After hearing Walburga's explanation, some information surfaced in Tenraku's mind. Niðhöggr, the Extrajudicial Death Dragon, was said to reside in the frozen realms of the northern world and was known for its insatiable greed.

Hmm, interesting. Another excellent material for Sacred Gears!

"Red Dragon Emperor, your journey ends here. I'll devour you and all your women!"

Shrieking, Niðhöggr flew overhead, laughing maniacally.

As a legendary Evil Dragon, Niðhöggr's aura was exceptionally powerful, making it difficult for Yubelluna and her girls to deal with. But Tenraku had bigger prey to hunt, and he had no intention of getting entangled with it here.

In that case—

With a smirk, Tenraku snapped his fingers, and three jade jewels flew out from his body, transforming into three enormous figures in the air.

The gigantic humanoid Berserker Dragon, Grendel!

The Dragon Who Guards the Treasured Tree, Ladon, resembles a massive tree!

And the Black Evil Dragon King, Vritra, engulfed in dark flames!

Roaring into the sky, the three Giant Dragons shook the entire floating island with their deafening cries. While Grendel and Ladon were relatively stable, Vritra's soul had been divided and sealed into multiple Sacred Gears in the past. 

Although Tenraku had unified them, Vritra's consciousness was still somewhat chaotic and volatile. Since they were attacking the enemy's headquarters, chaos was welcome, so Tenraku released him as well.

"Grendel, Ladon, Vritra, destroy him, but remember to capture his soul for me."

Tenraku commanded the three Giant Dragons.

"Ha ha ha... Battle, Battle!"

"Leave it to us, boss. We'll definitely tear that Niðhöggr guy apart!"

Grendel laughed maniacally, having become a loyal mad dog in Tenraku's hands. As long as Tenraku ordered him to fight, he was willing to do anything.

Although Ladon was extremely resentful and would love to tear Tenraku to pieces, he was just a tool in Tenraku's hands now. If he didn't obey orders, Tenraku would teach him how to behave like a dragon. No, as a dog!

As for Vritra, the consciousness of this chaotic and somewhat insane fellow roared a couple of times and charged out first.

"Aaahhhhh... Grendel, Ladon, Vritra, what are you doing?!"

"What do you think? We're going to kill you!"

"You bastards, how dare you gang up on me!"

"Just on you. Die for me! Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Roaring and bellowing, the three Giant Dragons engaged in battle in the sky. The ordinary mass-produced Evil Dragons didn't even have the qualifications to join the fight; the shockwaves alone tore them to pieces.

"I'll leave it to Grendel and the others here. Let's go."

After shouting to the girls, Tenraku no longer paid attention to the battle between the Giant Dragons.

His goal was to eliminate Rizevim, so it was crucial to reach the city hall first.

"Yes, Lord Tenraku."

Yubelluna and Walburga's girls looked at Niðhöggr, who was surrounded and screaming loudly, with a mixture of disdain and pity. Then they followed Tenraku as he continued on his way...
