Asmodeus launched a volley of ice blades created at the wyvern''s wings the moment he jumped from the carriage. His body was like a storm as he held the demon blade in his hands and cut through the air, creating an arc of blood that tore through the sky.

It was at this time that he saw it: a small black stone lodged in the wyvern''s forehead. A cold aura emitted from the beast as it flicked both wings, creating a barrier of ice that blocked his magic blades before the crimson arc tore through the sky and shattered the shield.

"Kraaa!"

However, the blow only gave a small nick to the wyvern''s scales before its mouth began to absorb the cold aura from the world and formed an array of ice spears. Its cold blue eyes focused on Asmodeus.

The black-haired demon smirked as he extended his arm while grabbing the handle of his demon blade. However, just as the wyvern released the ice spears, a dark figure landed on top of the beast.

"You bastard, interrupting me!" Velvet''s body was glowing with a vibrant purple aura as her fists rained down on the beast''s forehead, her feet on its neck.

Each blow seemed to flicker with black dots as if stars of darkness twinkled in her violet aura.

"Kraaaaa!" The wyvern let out a low screech as it began to flap its wings once again, but it was already too late, for it had lost the advantage and couldn''t get the momentum to take flight as several knights began to throw metal chains over its wings.

Velvet''s attacks continued to rain down on its body as if she were a celestial meteor shower that fell upon the wyvern. Her eyes shone with a cold light as she continued to strike at the beast''s head.

Her blows echoed with a deep reverberation. The damage each blow dealt sounded like she was hitting a drunk with a boulder.

The stone!

She knew it was there; that was the weakness of this type of demon beast. They used a type of blood crystal to enhance their strength, but because it wasn''t part of their original body, it left an opening.

''No... it''s too late!'' She thought, knowing that the crystal began to form a blue colour, and each time her fist struck the black stone, it caused her hands to feel an icy chill. Velvet snapped her head and looked at Asmodeus, who sliced into the wyvern''s chest with his black blade.

"Asmodeus! It''s going to evolve into a dragon. It''s too late!"

Velvet''s words caused Asmodeus to stop the attack—he gazed up to see the Wyvern''s eyes, body and crystal and realised its body was changing colour rapidly! "Get away! Everyone pull back! Velvet!" He thrust his palm towards the dragon''s chest, a huge flame swirling around his palm, forming a ball of black and red fire.

The wyvern felt its heart constrict.

Velvet nodded her head as she kicked against the beast''s forehead and propelled herself into the air. However, the air froze instantly as if a deity appeared. A blade of ice penetrated her from behind as the small black stone now formed a horn of ice that was dripping with her blood.

The wyvern''s body began to grow in size. The knights'' chains could not hold it as it broke through with ease as if they were paper thin.

"Graaa!"

A deafening roar rang through the sky, a blue light shining from its body as the horn began to suck in the surrounding air and snow.

"Haha, it''s time to show you my strength." He chuckled like this was just a training match before his black sword transformed into an axe, the same length as Asmodeus with a massive head. The size of his chest.

''Is that the axe he used to use?! It''s so much bigger?! The blade is almost double the size! How heavy is that thing?'' Velvet found herself thinking in shock as she gazed at Asmodeus with a surprised look in her eyes.

"Do you know why they call me the Bloody Tyrant?" Asmodeus laughed as the axe began to glow with a crimson aura, his body glowing with a dark and blood-red aura.

"..."

Before she could hear the answer, his body already shot towards the half-dragon, his axe pulled back before Asmodeus cleaved the dragon''s chest with his axe, the power causing a roar of wind and a thunderclap to echo through the sky.

His body flickered like a shadow, and as he reappeared, his body was already in front of the dragon. His eyes were shining with a sinister red glow as his axe struck the dragon''s chest again.

His movements were too fast for Velvet to keep up with, and it was when she heard the wyvern''s cries did she noticed the huge chunks of broken flesh and dragon scales reinforced by ice now lying on the ground shattered. Asmodeus himself bathed in the dragon''s blood and held his axe above his head while the dragon''s massive claws struck down, trying to crush him.

"Hahahahaha!" Asmodeus was covered in claw marks and wounds, while the dragon''s chest was flowing with blood. A strange scene made Velvet''s heart tighten and jump.

Velvet couldn''t take her eyes off him. Her eyes stared at him as if he was her saviour, and at that moment, she felt herself wanting to rush towards him. She wanted to run her fingers across his face and wipe the blood from his lips, but she felt it would be too embarrassing.

''Why am I having these thoughts?!''

Boom!

The Dragon''s body overturned, and while Asmodeus punched its face with his left hand, several teeth shattered and flew from its mouth, causing the dragon to growl in pain. Yet He didn''t stop, his axe dropped after glowing red, tearing into the neck of the dragon.

However, it wasn''t deep enough to penetrate and kill the monster.

"Damn! Even my Savage Rend didn''t kill you, tough bastard!"

"Graaa Simbuck Tarun!" (You filthy demon!)

"Hahaha! Fight me more you damn lizard!"

Asmodeus looked at the enemy with a strange glow—he seemed to shine each time they exchanged blows. Blood and flesh swirled around their bodies, but Asmodeus seemed to be almost glistening with brilliance.

"!!!!"

The dragon roared in anger, its icy blue eyes turning dark with rage as the ice on its body began to change into a deep blue colour while its wings began to glow with a bright silver light.

Velvet''s eyes narrowed as she realised the wyvern was using its vitality as some sort of mana.

"Asmodeus, be careful!"
