Chapter 209: Chapter 209: True Monstrosity
As soon as they charged at the Abyssal Blazing Dragon, the earth trembled, and thunder rumbled, signaling the start of a terrifying battle.
The Seven-Tailed Fox unleashed its deadly fox flames, while the Ancient Mammoth struck with a powerful stomp, shaking the ground. The Thunder Griffin attacked with a destructive thunder strike, its claws slicing at lightning speed. The Nine-Headed Hydra released a noxious venomous breath, while Fenrir lunged forward, claws and fangs gleaming with deadly intent.
Kirin attempted to boost the allies' power and weaken Aengus, but its efforts were futile.
Freeze… Crack, crackle!
The Frost Bear tried to freeze Aengus solid with its absolute ice ability, but the ice shattered, repelled by the intense heat of his Crimson Hellfire.
The Flaming Tiger prepared to pounce, but Aengus was already moving, his Dragon eyes filled with killing intent.
Aengus flapped his massive wings, dodging attacks with astonishing speed. Although he was nearly invulnerable, he took no chances. In an instant, he used a space warp to appear directly above the Ancient Mammoth, whose colossal leg was poised to stomp him.
The Ancient Mammoth's instincts screamed danger. Looking up, his weary, gray eyes widened as he saw the fierce Dark Dragon already descending above him. Aengus's deadly claws, infused with chaotic energy, were streaking toward him, radiating raw power.
For the Ancient Mammoth, time seemed to slow. He could feel each beat of his heart pounding as he stared up at his inevitable fate, the glint of Aengus's claws reflecting in his eyes.
"Dong!"
An unexpected interference came just in time. The Earth Turtle, who had been silent until now, made his move. His massive shell collided with Aengus' claws, creating a devastating impact.
"BOOM!"
The turtle was smashed into the ground, face-first, taking damage to its sturdy shell. It was a marvel it could withstand such force—one capable of obliterating the toughest material.
But Aengus was only getting started.
"You think you can stop me with this?" he declared coldly. "Say your last words. None of you can stop me."

His massive body hovered above, suddenly glowing with a seven-colored light, like a rainbow. Knowing time was of the essence, he aimed to finish them quickly.
He gathered intense, chaotic energy from seven elements within his maw, prepared to obliterate anything in his path.
"Roar!" Aengus bellowed, shaking the sky as he unleashed nine Chaos Breath attacks simultaneously.
Before the Fox and the others could react, they saw multicolored beams of destructive energy racing toward them, each one targeting a creature with relentless speed. Attempts to dodge were futile; the beams seemed to have a will of their own, following each target.
With the threat closing in, their hearts raced. In desperation, they relied on the Earth Turtle and Ancient Mammoth's defensive abilities, while the Kirin boosted their magical power, hoping to have even the slightest chance of survival.
The Earth Turtle and Ancient Mammoth looked fierce, their expressions twisted into grim, almost suicidal grins. The Mammoth raised its two curved tusks toward the sky, channeling magical energy to form barriers, while the Earth Turtle's shell glowed with a mystical light, bracing for the devastating impact.
An instant later, the nine Chaos beams collided with them, followed by a blinding flash of white light at the point of destruction.
"BOOOOM!"
"Rumble!"
"Buzz... Buzz!"
One after another, nine deadly shockwaves spread out for kilometers, flattening and obliterating everything in their path. Humans and beasts alike nearby were reduced to ashes, leaving nothing but scorched earth.
As the dust settled, Aengus hovered in the air, unharmed, while the nine mythical creatures looked grim. The Earth Turtle and Ancient Mammoth bore the worst injuries, chaotic energy churning within them, bringing them close to death.
The others were in dire condition as well—burns, gaseous wounds, and severed limbs marked their once-proud forms. It was the most miserable state they had ever been in.
The Kirin, using its mystical abilities, attempted to restore its companions' health, but Aengus did not allow it. He slammed down, crushing the Kirin's head, shattering its antlers.
The other creatures' eyes widened, their faces pale with horror as they watched the Kirin get devoured by Aengus, further boosting his strength.

As Aengus reaped his rewards, the other creatures were in despair. They knew this could happen and had prepared to die, but it was still agonizing to accept.
"Beast Lord, we need your presence!" one of them roared in desperation.
Just when Aengus was about to swallow the Earth Turtle and Ancient Mammoth, a massive earthquake shook the continent as if something being awakened after ages.
Aengus narrowed his eyes, sensing a formidable presence making itself known—a new challenger.
But Aengus remained focused on the urgent task at hand.
"Whoosh!"
He swiftly devoured the Earth Turtle and Ancient Mammoth whole, feeling his strength surge and gaining powerful S-Rank defensive skills in the process.
The remaining six creatures watched helplessly, their bodies already weakened and infused with low amount of Chaos particles, leaving them vulnerable and filled with dread.
"HOW DARE YOU!"
A thunderous roar echoed through the skies, triggering even more violent earthquakes. The mythical creatures' eyes filled with renewed hope as they turned toward the centre of the forest and the towering mountain range there.
Aengus followed their gaze and saw something astonishing: the mountain range, already several kilometers high, began to rise further, nearly doubling in size. The entire range shifted and pulsed with a life of its own, as if awakening from an ancient slumber.
The true battle was just beginning.
