The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1226

Chapter 1226: Black crystal Chapter 1226: Black crystal Without hesitation, Cain dove after him.

The wind whipped past his ears as he accelerated.

The dragon’s eyes were wide with fear as he plummeted, knowing that the Mirage Serpent could appear at any second.

Cain reached the falling dragon just in time, blasting the Replica to pieces with a surge of scarlet flames.

Grabbing the dragon by his tail, Cain heaved him upward, straining his muscles as he propelled them both back into the air.

Just as Cain saved the Ancient Dragon, the Mirage Serpent erupted from the floor beneath him.

The scarlet dragon was too close to dodge; the creature’s massive form loomed over him, and with a swift motion, it unleashed a devastating point-blank attack.

The sound of bones shattering echoed through the air.

“Ugh!” Cain grunted as the force of the blow sent shockwaves through his body, propelling him and the serpent upward at overwhelming speed and momentum.

Yet just as the Mirage Serpent began to revel in its supposed victory, its eyes widened in disbelief.

The world around it cracked like fragile glass, and the scarlet dragon it thought it had struck vanished into thin air.

Even if it was a monster, the Mirage Serpent seemed to possess some level of wisdom, and it quickly understood-it had fallen into an illusion.

Before it could react, sharp dragon claws pierced its crystalline skin.

Cain materialized at its side, gripping onto its chest with unyielding strength.

His eyes burned with fierce determination as he drew a deep breath.

“Yin-Yang Lightning Fire Gluttonous Berserker Dragon Breath!” the scarlet dragon roared as he prepared to unleash his most powerful attack point-blank into the Mirage Serpent’s chest.

Cain absorbed all the ambient energy around him, his body becoming a conduit for the labyrinth’s power.

A swirling mass of yin and yang energy, infused with lightning and fire, coalesced within him.

Then, he unleashed a plasma beam directly into the Mirage Serpent’s chest with explosive force.

The beam was a brilliant torrent of destructive energy that cut through the air like a blazing sword.

“AHHHHHHHHHHH!” A guttural and agonizing scream erupted from the Mirage Serpent as the beam melted the crystals on its chest, searing through scales and reaching all the way to its core.

The creature writhed in agony, its colossal body twisting and convulsing.

Cracks spread across its shimmering form, and shards of crystal rained down like deadly hail.

However, just as it seemed Cain would deliver the final blow, an overwhelming aura of hatred burst forth from the Mirage Serpent.

Its eyes blazed with vicious fury, and its strength surged.

With a violent twist of its massive body, it generated such immense force that it sent Cain flying.

Cain tumbled through the air, struggling to regain control.

Shock and admiration flickered across his face as he witnessed the massive burst of power from the serpent.

Immediately after repelling Cain, the Mirage Serpent turned its gaze toward the mirrors on the ceiling.

It knew that within the mirror dimension, it could heal its grievous wounds.

Desperation fueled its movements as it dashed upward, moving with incredible speed.

Just as the Mirage Serpent thought it would save itself, Eldrick and Zalgrim acted.

With synchronized precision, they blasted their claws into the ceiling, generating a layer of electrified rocks that spread out to cover the mirrors.

Pure and unbridled hatred blazed in the Mirage Serpent’s eyes as it saw the obsidian and lightning dragons blocking its way.

Without hesitation, it surged forward, smashing through the rocks and deflecting the electrified currents with sheer force.

The barriers crumbled under its might, and the creature tore a hole into the ceiling.

“Hold the line!” Zalgrim urged as he and Eldrick poured more energy into reinforcing the barrier.

But the serpent’s power was overwhelming.

It wouldn’t be long before it broke through completely.

Just as the Mirage Serpent was about to escape into the mirror dimension, a fiery streak shot toward it from below.

Cain reappeared, this time in his dragonborn form-smaller but far more agile.

His eyes locked onto the serpent’s exposed wound, determination etched across his face.

Moving like a meteor, Cain dived straight into the serpent’s chest, piercing through the melted crystal and emerging on the other side.

His clawed hand gripped tightly around a pulsating black crystal-the Mirage Serpent’s core.

The serpent’s entire body trembled as it realized what had happened.

A gaping hole now existed where its core had been, and it could feel its life force draining rapidly.

It only needed to move a few more meters to enter the mirror dimension and heal, but it found itself unable to move.

Cain hovered before the dying creature, a cold smile on his lips.

He wasn’t afraid of the serpent reaching the mirror dimension-it couldn’t move now that he held its heart in his hand.

The Mirage Serpent’s eyes dimmed, its immense form beginning to disintegrate.

Its body shimmered and fractured, shards breaking off and dissolving into dust.

The Ancient Dragons watched in awe as the colossal serpent shattered, leaving nothing but glittering particles that drifted away like ash on the wind.

Wide smiles spread among the dragons as they celebrated the defeat of the massive threat.

However, they didn’t allow themselves to become complacent-there were still Replicas left to contend with.

“Stay focused!” Eldrick commanded, rallying the dragons.

Cain descended to the ground, adrenaline still coursing through him.

After ensuring his comrades were holding their own, he turned his attention to the object in his hand.

Opening his fist, he revealed the black crystal, pulsing with raw, destructive power.

The core was imbued with an overwhelmingly pure and dense Depravita Essence.

“Remarkable…” Cain murmured, his eyes reflecting the dark light emanating from the crystal.

He pushed the power of his Eye of Gluttony to its limits, scanning the core’s intricate structure.

Faint archaic symbols began to reveal themselves-ancient runes holding the power of an Oniric Truth.

“This energy…

it’s extremely similar to the Oniric Truth of Wrath,” he realized, a mix of excitement and disbelief washing over him.
