Chapter 177 Meeting but Not Recognizing Each Other
Chapter 177 Meeting but not recognizing each other.
The most obvious change is in the earth, which is now riddled with craters. Sometimes, when chaotic flames splash onto the ground, they melt the soil and turn it into lava.
"How terrifying, who is fighting?"
"Is Vierlan alright?"
"This seems to be the luster of Lord Lergis."
...
On the edge of Dawn City.
Sally, Fei Ke, and other awakened individuals who had recently rushed out of the city to clear out the surrounding monsters had already been alerted by the aftershocks of various battles.
They gazed into the distance, their hearts pounding with fear.
Unfortunately, they were too far away, and they didn't have any ability to enhance their eyesight. Therefore, they couldn't see the details.
However, they could also vaguely sense the power unique to the Awakened.
"I hope the Lord can win, otherwise our Dawn City may very well be destroyed again," Sally said worriedly.
At first, they thought they were guaranteed to win in a two-on-one situation. But as time went on, the enemy did not die.
The battle remained deadlocked. This made them very uncomfortable and began to feel uneasy.
At the same time, the commotion caused by the battle was immense. The ground in Dawn City was trembling slightly.
If it weren't for the purple-blue orb of light left behind by Vierlan, protecting this place, the earth itself might not have been able to hold on and would have begun to crack. As for the houses inside, a large number of them would likely have collapsed.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh," Loya inhaled deeply during the battle, slowly absorbing the air and even the space itself, which was then converted into energy for his subsequent battles.
However, this energy storage speed is a bit slow. It's simply not enough to keep Loya at his peak all the time.
Fortunately, the scales of victory have tipped in Loya's favor.
With a "smack," Loya lashed out with his tail, sending Lergis flying.
His many dragon claws transformed into a fiery net, enveloping Angela.
"Aaaaaah!" Angela roared, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace. His fists lashed out relentlessly, unleashing a powerful destructive force that caused the air to shatter and the flames to crumble. But then, even more flames surged forth, binding him tightly.
Just two seconds later, Angela's body was completely engulfed in flames. It was as if he was trapped between several mountains, and he was unable to move at all.
“Fallen one, fallen one, you shall die a horrible death! You have disgraced humanity, you are a disgrace to the Savior! If you have any humanity left, you should commit suicide!” Angela roared madly.
As Loya listened, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that this human man was a complete idiot.
They couldn't beat him, so they started morally blackmailing him.
Unfortunately, he lacked morality.
But he was not in control of his own destiny; he was deeply influenced by the chaos, taboos, and the ancient gods of destruction.
He was no longer able to be merciful.
As for suicide, that's just wishful thinking.
From the beginning to now.
For Loya, only himself is the most important.
Let's not even talk about this strange world, and let's not even talk about Vierland.
Even if they are your own parents, don't expect them to abandon you.
Even if this is just a clone of him.
"Trash, become a part of me, become my power!" Loya cursed, then dashed into the sky.
With a "boom," a white river of light rushed over.
Lergis, who had been knocked away, returned to fight back.
"Fallen One, give Angela back to me." Lergis was no longer calm; her emotions were clearly fluctuating wildly.
This time, we really lost a lot of money.
They're trying to hunt down old Pete.
Old Pete is indeed dead.
However, an even more terrifying Chaos Dragon, Loya, was born.
Now, even his important partner Angela is going to die.
On the surface, it appears to be a one-for-one exchange.
But how could a monster like Old Pete possibly be compared to Angela?
Even ten old Petes wouldn't care about the life of a partner like Angela.
"Everyone dies eventually. Dying now and dying later may seem very different, but the outcome is the same," Loya said with a sigh.
Angela's body has begun to wither.
Despite his best efforts, Lergis still couldn't catch up with Loya.
About ten seconds later, Angela was completely reduced to ashes.
Loya's body has grown another bit.
His physical body is now over five meters tall, approaching six meters. This barely makes him the smallest juvenile among normal dragons.
And their strength will definitely increase significantly.
With a "whoosh," Loya turned around and rushed over.
Lergis only felt a blur before her eyes, and the burning dragon appeared not far away. Its malevolent flames were unleashed, instantly turning her hair orange-yellow.
"Fallen One, I will take you away and avenge Angela." Then, Lyrgis's body underwent a violent transformation; her light turned into white flames—a highly concentrated power compressed from light. In this state, the destructive power of her light increased dramatically.
"Sigh, no matter what world or universe they're in, these superhumans experience a surge in power when they're fighting desperately. However, they also die very quickly." Loya wasn't particularly surprised by Lergis's change.
Many extraordinary powers, though different in their paths, ultimately lead to the same goal.
They all have many similar tactics. Especially their desperate, all-out attacks—they're very similar. And the effects are roughly the same.
However, Loya was not intimidated by Lergis's ferocity.
He is not the same person he was just now.
He was confident that he was invincible here.
With a deafening roar, the two distinct flames, under their control, transformed into a sky-covering cloud of fire that crashed into each other.
Loya's avatar charged forward, opening its mouth and ignoring the flames it was consuming.
In this process, Loya was also harmed.
However, Loya's absorption ability was very strong, and such damage was quickly absorbed by the nutrients he received.
"Boom, boom, boom." The loud noise spread out from here without regard for anything else.
From a radius of several hundred miles, one could clearly see these two flames vying for dominance.
"The power fluctuations of a national-level awakened one have disappeared. Was he injured and forced to leave the field, or was he killed?" Many awakened individuals from all directions were alarmed.
They watched this scene with solemn expressions.
Their hearts were also filled with unease.
"There shouldn't be so many powerful beings appearing in this land at this time. What's going on?" In the distance, an Awakened One, who appeared quite old, muttered to himself with worry: "Could it be that this war between demons and humans, which has just begun to show signs of progress, is about to escalate to a fever pitch? Alas, it's too hasty, too fast. Humanity isn't prepared. Starting a war so hastily will surely be fatal to ordinary people."
"I really hope those hateful monsters slow down, just a little bit slower. Humanity needs time."
...
About twenty seconds later, signs of victory or defeat began to appear.
The onlookers looked somber.
"How is this possible? We're going to lose? Does that mean we all have to die together?"
"But how come the monsters these days are so powerful?"
"Don't waste time, everyone. Run away quickly, or we'll all die once the monster gets a chance to attack."
"I must go and provide support. Even if I can't harm this terrifying monster, I must fight it. I must buy more time for the people."
...
Many people fled, while others risked their lives.
"Roar!" This was accompanied by a deafening roar.
Loya's dragon wings stretched and enlarged dramatically, transforming into two enormous hands that grabbed Lergis.
Despite his desperate struggle, Lergis was unable to escape.
Instead, as time went by, Lergis began to weaken.
“Fallen One, you are absorbing my power,” Lyrgis gritted his teeth.
“Isn’t this obvious?” Loya laughed.
"Monster, release Lord Lergis!" Suddenly, a fire spirit flew over from afar; it was none other than Sally.
"Ah, what a coincidence!" Loya turned to look at him.
When he saw Sally, he was filled with emotion, feeling that everything had changed in such a short time since they last met.
However, since things have changed and people are no longer the same, the old relationships are no longer relevant.
"Pah." Loya opened his mouth and exhaled.
"Boom!" This evolved into a massive storm that blotted out the sky.
Sally also unleashed all her power to clash with her opponent.
But this power was too great. She couldn't withstand it at all.
In an instant, the storm arrived, forcing her body to fly into the distance.
"Damn it, damn it..." Sally roared angrily. She struggled with all her might, trying to fight back, but she couldn't do it at all.
In the blink of an eye, Sally disappeared without a trace.
"Death." From afar, another uninvited guest arrived. A small, purplish-blue sun flew swiftly towards them.
Well, Vierlan, who has been busy for so long, is finally back.
Unfortunately, Skid couldn't find the Corpse Mother's true form, which she found very regrettable.
With a "whoosh," the Demon-Slaying Blade rose and fell, unleashing a massive burst of residual blood sword energy.
"Hahaha, you've really grown up, and your strength is so much greater than before." Seeing this, Loya couldn't help but laugh.
He didn't intend to confront them directly; he dodged aside.
Vierlan, however, was ruthless. When one sword strike failed, she continued to swing her sword, as if she would not give up until she killed Loya.
"Ah." Perhaps some of her power had been diverted by Vierlan.
Lergis felt a little relieved. She unleashed her full power, forcefully tearing open the dragon's wings to escape.
However, this wave can be considered completely overloaded.
As soon as he emerged, Lergis's radiance dimmed considerably. His body drifted weakly into the distance.
“You can’t run away.” Loya turned and rushed over.
"Don't even think about succeeding." Vierlan rushed over as well, and she was even faster.
With a "whoosh," Lergis was grabbed by the shoulder by Vierlan and dashed off into the distance.
Loya didn't pursue the matter relentlessly; instead, he watched the scene unfold with a calm and collected demeanor.
The brief contest has come to an end.
“Thank you for your help, but don’t worry about me. All you have to do is kill this corrupted one completely,” Lyrgis said breathlessly. “Also, your father is dead.”
“I understand.” Vierlan nodded.
Lergis was still a little upset. She looked at Vierlan seriously and said, "Your father is completely dead. Even if there are some strange things or evidence that you can't identify, it's useless. He's really dead. Your father was a human being, not one of these monsters."
Vierlan was stunned by what she heard. How could she not understand what Lergis meant? What did he mean by saying her father was human, not a monster? Her father, Loya, was human, wasn't he? What was there to emphasize?
"Hehe." Loya also heard the conversation between the two.
Loya laughed and said, "Hypocrite, does the fact that I'm no longer human mean I'm no longer this child's father?"
Vierlan was stunned. She turned her head in astonishment and stared at Loya. "What do you mean? What exactly do you mean?"
An incredible thought arose from the depths of her mind.
But she couldn't accept her own assumptions, so the expression on her face began to break down.
Magic: Transformation. Loya, however, couldn't wait to use his power.
His body began to twist.
Three seconds later, a tall, strong man in black appeared.
He smiled gently, "Child, can you recognize me now?"
"Damn it, you monster, don't try to deceive me!" Vierlan screamed. She seemed to be provoked, or as if her sore spot had been touched.
With a "whoosh," she put down Lyrgis and rushed forward without regard for anything else.
She wanted to destroy "Loya," that despicable and shameless monster.
"Haha, that's fine too." Seeing this, Loya nodded with a smile, seemingly not minding Vierlan's attitude at all.
Yes, Loya is quite tolerant of Vierlan.
Moreover, he already has his own future plans and still has no intention of going back on his word.
"Goodbye, my child. Now, please unleash your brilliance and live the rest of your life happily."
Loya said something meaningful, then couldn't wait to fly off into the distance.
Behind Loya, a large amount of flames and sparks erupted, causing his speed to increase continuously.
"Don't even think about escaping." Vierlan gritted her teeth, but tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face uncontrollably.
In fact, she already understood that Loya was indeed her father. Because they looked so alike, there wasn't the slightest incongruity.
At the same time, Loya's attitude towards her was quite "gentle." Given all this, how could Loya possibly be fake?
"Why have you turned into a monster?" Vierlan couldn't help but shout as she watched Loya grow further away.
She was starting to feel like she couldn't go on any longer. This wasn't just because her loved ones hadn't died, but also because of her transformation into a demon.
Another reason was that she was exhausted from traveling thousands of miles.
However, Loya did not turn his head and did not answer Vierlan.
About half a minute later, Loya had completely disappeared.
Vierland had to stop; she slowly made her way back.
...
After leaving Vierlan, Loya transformed back into his dragon form.
He still prefers this primitive look.
Loya continued flying, showing no sign of stopping.
As Loya saw more and more of the scenery, he discovered many cities, monsters...
This world is far from peaceful.
A full-scale war has quietly begun.
Every moment, humans are dying.
Of course, the monster died too.
However, monsters are generally very cheap, and once they die, new cannon fodder monsters will inexplicably appear and continue to attack humans.
