Chapter 65: The Demon Moon Descends

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: The Demon Moon Descends

In Demon Dragon Plaza, Najir’s fusion entered its final countdown.

"10, 9, 8..."

As the final seconds ticked by, the two masses of purple light around his body merged completely into one.

"Hahaha!"

"I’ve finally succeeded! My luck is truly heaven-sent."

"I, uh..."

Before Najir could even begin to celebrate his grand success, the newly created Card suddenly warned him that a Great Calamity was about to befall him.

Then, Najir saw a terrifying Wind Pill tear through the air, creating a vacuum tunnel as it shot toward him like a cannonball.

’Is that Feng Xingyun’s Wind God Cannon?’

...

"We finally made it!"

"Feng Xingyun, go say hello to those two skulking characters."

At the very moment Najir completed his fusion, Chen Qi and Feng Xingyun, fashionably late, arrived at Demon Dragon Plaza.

The reason for their tardiness was that the wandering of the Azure-headed Demon Dragon had turned the Chaotic City into a maze.

If not for Chen Qi’s beyond-imaginable understanding of the city, they might not have reached Demon Dragon Plaza even after walking for three days and nights.

They were a little late, but they had made it in the end.

Feng Xingyun’s Wind God Cannon had long been charged and ready. Now, upon receiving Chen Qi’s order, he naturally fired a shot.

BOOM!

Perhaps because it had been charged for so long, this Wind God Cannon was several times more powerful than before.

Wherever the Wind Pill passed, it carved a straight trench seven or eight meters wide and hundreds of meters long directly through Demon Dragon Plaza.

At the end of the trench was Najir, his face a mask of horrified despair.

...

’Am I going to die?’

’I can’t accept this. My life was just about to take a turn for the better.’

In the final moments of his life, Najir felt time stretch out, long and agonizing.

Chaotic City had indeed allowed him to complete his Card fusion, which perfectly matched his earlier prediction of [Great Fortune].

But now a Great Calamity had appeared—didn’t that mean he was doomed?

However, three seconds passed, and Najir realized he was still alive.

The terrifying Wind Pill had vanished without a trace.

’What in the world just happened?’

...

’My attack was deflected?’

Feng Xingyun, who had been confident of a one-shot kill, stared blankly at the sky.

High in the sky, the terrifying Wind Pill was now stirring up trouble, whipping up a massive tornado.

Gale-force winds howled above the entire plaza, demonstrating the terrifying and shocking power of the attack.

But Feng Xingyun’s target had been Najir, who remained completely unscathed.

"It was Felix. He intervened, using the Azure-headed Demon Dragon’s magnetic field to distort your attack."

Chen Qi had seen everything that just happened with perfect clarity.

In the instant before the Wind Pill struck, the Azure-headed Demon Dragon’s massive body had passed by with impeccable timing.

The moment the Wind Pill made contact with the dragon’s body, it was instantly deflected high into the sky.

"He can distort attacks with a magnetic field?"

"Doesn’t that mean we can’t hit either of them unless we kill that Demon Dragon?"

"Looks like we’re in for some seriously bad luck now."

Feng Xingyun felt a hint of schadenfreude; at least if he was going to die, he’d have company.

"Indeed. It seems all we can do now is wait for death."

"Though I’m a little uneasy, I also find myself quite looking forward to it!"

"I’d bet I’ve already seen through everything!"

Chen Qi was as calm and composed as ever, his eyes seemingly glowing.

Feng Xingyun, however, didn’t believe a word of it. ’He must be faking it!’

If he weren’t under someone else’s control, he would have loved to put Chen Qi in his place.

...

"Hahaha, a warm welcome to you both."

"Mr. Najir is about to be granted an audience with the great Game Monarch, and I am honored to invite you both to witness the Ascension ceremony!"

"Although you two are fated never to meet the Game Monarch, I have arranged a [warm reception] for you as well."

Felix finally displayed the air of a city lord, standing before everyone with a solemn expression.

His words left Feng Xingyun and Najir completely baffled, but Chen Qi seemed lost in thought, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

’It seems Feng Xingyun and I aren’t the only ones whose luck is about to run out.’

"What Ascension ceremony?"

Najir’s expression was cold and grim, because he had discovered his fortune was still [Great Calamity].

Clearly, the previous Wind Pill attack wasn’t the source of the Great Calamity at all.

"Heh, Najir, didn’t we agree on this long ago?"

"I help you complete your Card fusion, and in return, you go to see the great Game Monarch."

"Now is the time to fulfill your promise."

Felix gave Najir a pitying look, hoping he would have a pleasant journey.

In the next instant, he waved his jade brush, completing the final step of the ritual: dotting the dragon’s eyes.

RUMBLE—the moment his brush fell, the entire Chaotic City seemed to turn over in its sleep.

...

"The great Azure-headed Demon Dragon has finally descended!"

"Judgment! Judgment!"

The millions of people in Chaotic City suddenly opened their eyes.

Reflected in their pupils was a vast, boundless, terrifying, and ferocious Giant Dragon.

An incredibly bizarre and unbelievable scene unfolded. The sky above Chaotic City had been empty.

But the instant everyone opened their eyes, the Azure-headed Demon Dragon actually manifested.

It was as if everyone had projected the Giant Dragon from their pupils into the sky, thereby truly creating the [Azure-headed Demon Dragon].

"Th-th-this is impossible!"

Feng Xingyun stared in disbelief at the Demon Dragon in the sky. Though he wanted to say it was an illusion, it wasn’t.

Because even when he closed his eyes, he could still perceive the terrifying Demon Dragon.

"Unbelievable, isn’t it?"

"In truth, we aren’t seeing it with our senses. Rather, some kind of information is being radiated directly into our Spirituality."

"While it looks incredibly real, and I can’t say it’s fake, it definitely isn’t a true living being, because it has no Spirituality."

Having read a third of the [Spirit Realm Declaration], Chen Qi made this judgment with great confidence.

The timing was truly unfortunate. If he had finished reading the entire [Spirit Realm Declaration] and become an [Awakened], he might have been able to see through the Demon Dragon completely.

"Demon Dragon’s Descent! Judgment!"

Felix raised his hands high, bent his knees, and squatted.

Following his movement, the Azure-headed Demon Dragon coiled in the sky cast its gaze upon Chaotic City.

To the senses of countless people, the Demon Dragon’s terrifying eyes began to replace the round moon, drawing ever closer to the earth.

"The moon is descending!"

"So vast, so beautiful! Purify everything!"

Amid the cheers of millions, the two Demon Moons gradually closed the distance with the mortal world.

Everyone couldn’t wait to merge with the Demon Moons!

According to ancient legend, the Demon Dragon’s left eye represents Judgment, and its right eye represents salvation.

The vast majority of humans would merge with the right eye, washing away their Sins.

Only the most wicked and evil would merge with the left eye and vanish from the world forever.

’It’s the left eye!’

’I’m being pulled into the Demon Dragon’s left eye!’

’The Demon Moons are descending... Is this some kind of Illusion Technique?’

’No, this is definitely not a mere illusion. Even if it is an Illusion Technique, it’s of the highest possible level.’

’My Spirituality is being affected! This is bad—’

As long as one was in Chaotic City, even hiding a hundred meters underground, there was no escaping the Azure-headed Demon Dragon’s gaze.

Unable to resist, Chen Qi and Feng Xingyun were devoured by the Demon Dragon’s left eye.

Devoured along with them was Felix!

Only Najir, along with the millions of city residents in need of salvation, entered the Demon Dragon’s right eye.
