Chapter 2406 Grand Magus Battle

Chapter 2406 Grand Magus Battle

The shocking death of the Ghostblade struck the team hard. But as the Grand Magus's physical form shattered, something unnatural happened—the magus's soul tore free, rising from the wreckage as a dark, swirling smoke. The shadowy entity wrapped itself around Agis's form, fusing with him in a violent, spiritual display. The dark smoke coalesced into an intricate chain-like tattoo that spread across the Red Demon's body, binding him in place.

For the first time, the mighty Agis was forced to stop. His movements faltered, and his dominating presence was replaced by a momentary flicker of shock.

Major Kouga, Dopa, and Archie launched their attacks together. Dopa's explosive punch ruptured the air with the force of a volcanic eruption, while Archie's white lightning sword crackled with pure devastation, seeking to cut through Agis's defenses. Meanwhile, Major Kouga, not missing a beat, drew his twin blades, invoking the power of his most powerful tier 8 technique—[Split the Frozen Hell].

Each attack was honed to pierce even the strongest defenses.

The Red Demon's eyes flared with incandescent fury, and without hesitation, he unleashed a defensive spell that shook the desert to its core. A shimmering barrier formed around him, a burning crimson aura that expanded into a fiery dome around him. But as the combined attacks hit, the clash was like the heavens colliding.

KABOOMM!!! Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The explosion lit up the desert, its shockwave sending Dopa and Archie hurtling backward, thrown like ragdolls by immense force. Yet Kouga remained relentless, his form wreathed in frost as he continued to hammer the swirling cloud of smoke and flame with relentless blasts of ice, each spells a ruthless attempt to break the demon's defenses.

The sound of shattering ice filled the air as the smoke cleared, revealing the crimson dragon shielding its master with its massive, battered wings. Its scales were riddled with sharp, icy shards, and blood oozed from its wounds. The dragon's fierce growl tore through the silence, the sheer force of its roar splintering the remaining ice around them.

ROAARR!!

As the dragon spread its wings, the Red Demon was revealed, his chest partially frozen but a sinister smile curling on his face. He glanced down at the dark tattoos etched across his body—the remnants of the Ghost Blade's soul curse.

And then, there was the dragon.

[Elder Crimson Dragon]

The beast's true nature was a terrifying force. Emery couldn't help but compare it to the Celestial King Mudler, the godly beast he'd once encountered in the Shambala Sea. The dragon's power alone matched that of a Two Cosmos Grand Magus, and its loyalty to its master made it an unstoppable force in this battle.

What made Agis even more terrifying was the seamless synergy between him and the crimson dragon. Their combined strength turned the battle into a deadly dance, with each maneuver carefully executed to amplify the other's power.

The dragon's vast mobility allowed it to evade attacks with grace, while its tail struck like a whip, keeping opponents at a constant distance. Its roar created shockwaves that disrupted spells, and the scorching flames it unleashed blended effortlessly with the rider's spear strikes, turning Agis into a deadly force just below the supreme magus level.

Emery, positioned at a safe distance, observed the chaos with cautious intensity. He knew his current Magus realm status made him almost invisible to the Red Demon's senses. He realized that, in terms of raw skill and power, he was outmatched—Kouga's mastery of ice magic, Archie's formidable swordsmanship, Dopa's titanic strength, and Helga's soul attacks were each stronger than his own in these domains. There was probably nothing in his arsenal to directly challenge the Red Demon.

Instead of joining recklessly, Emery decided to focus on what mattered most—survival. His mind raced, analyzing every aspect of the battlefield, looking for an opening.

As he watched the combat unfold, he started carefully probing Agis's battlefield domain, hoping to find a weakness, some flaw. If he could identify the right pattern, at the right moment, he could help find an exit plan for the group.

The relentless clash of power continued, the skies filled with bursts of energy, while sparks of fire and lightning lit up the dark desert night.

Nearly a hundred exchanges passed, and both sides were now fully aware of each other's capabilities. The Red Demon halted momentarily, a cruel smirk spreading across his face as he addressed his opponents.

"If you have nothing else... it's time to finish this."

Agis declared, his words dripping with malice. The pressure from his mere presence seemed to suffocate the air, and all the magus could feel the weight of his threat. "Who should I kill next?" he continued, his eyes gleaming with twisted amusement as he scanned the group, his spear raised, ready to claim his next victim.
