Chapter 699 Wyverns Arrive

"Will you be fine on your own, Kuvat? We had enough trouble dealing with him as a group…" Fraegar said with surprise.

"I will be fine, Fraegar. Thank you for your concern. The last round of attacks had dealt the Old Villain a serious blow. Even if he heals, his energy would be greatly consumed. Furthermore, I am slightly stronger after I advanced," Kuvat assured.

Fraegar, Sephira, and the other dragons gave Kuvat a hard stare before they quietly acquiesced to his request. Then, they took their leave one by one.

Nevertheless, Sephira briefly glanced back and left behind some words, "I don\'t care what happened between you and the Delarosa Household and your feelings about it, Kuvat."

"However, the Supreme Leader\'s will is absolute. If you fail again, I will be the first to condemn you. Keep that in mind," Sephira warned before catching up with the rest.

Kuvat lightly smiled, but he became even more determined to succeed.

\'The Double Contractor and I are virtually equal in power. If I cannot overcome him, how can I hope to remain a proud dragon and stand tall in this world? If I fail here, I won\'t have the right to keep following the Supreme Leader. This is my trial!\' Kuvat thought.

"Old Villain, wait for me. Your head is mine!"

…

The appearance of the enormous blood-crimson zone alarmed the entire Great Ratholos Empire, and the Red Wyvern Clan was no exception.

However, by the time the Wyvern Ancestor emerged from Red Wyvern Ridge with his clan members, the Vampiric Demon Bats of Gehenna were already preying on human lives.

Roar!

Looking at the tragic scene within the Imperial Capital, the Wyvern Ancestor immediately let out a furious, earth-shaking roar – powerful enough to paralyze the nearby clouds of Vampiric Demon Bats for a brief moment.

The Wyvern Ancestor was the guardian beast of the Great Ratholos Empire, duty-bound to protect its people and stability as per its agreement with an ancestor of the Armstrong family.

However, after it emerged from its seclusion, all the Wyvern Ancestor saw was death everywhere.

How could it not be angry?

"That roar… It\'s the Wyvern Ancestor! The Wyvern Ancestor has come to save us! Praise the Wyvern Ancestor—Arghh, n-no! Stop! Don\'t eat me—Ahhh!!"

Before a young warrior could finish celebrating the Wyvern Ancestor\'s arrival, he was quickly drowned in a sea of bloodthirsty Vampiric Demon Bats. His death was more tragic than most; other corpses were at least left with their skewered layers of flesh, but only bones remained of him.

In this city, swarming with blood-sucking demons, the loudest ones were the easiest targets to track and prey upon.

"Go! Rip all these blood-craved fiends to pieces for me!" the Wyvern Ancestor roared in its natural language, as the wyverns did not understand human speech as well as it did.

After all, they had yet to live as long as the Wyvern Ancestor, who had lived for more than a thousand years and was easily the most ancient living beast on the lands of Pangea.

Nevertheless, after receiving the Wyvern Ancestor\'s command, the flock of red wyverns plunged into the clouds of Vampiric Demon Bats with full savagery.

The red wyverns did not use any special attack; they simply relied on their robust bodies to pulverize the fragile Vampiric Demon Bats with their heavy collisions, then used their sharp teeth and claws to tear apart the fleeing survivors.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Bodies smashed, wings torn, and blood spewed.

The clouds of Vampiric Demon Bats terrorizing the skies of the Imperial Capital were slaughtered in large numbers and turned into rains of blood and chunks of flesh.

Shortly after decimating the largest groups of Vampiric Demon Bats in the sky, the red wyverns split off to look for their companion riders after hearing their summoning whistles.

"Wyvern Ancestor, congratulations on your breakthrough!"

Suddenly, Emperor Varan\'s surprised voice trickled over to the Wyvern Ancestor\'s ears, causing it to steer its head in his direction.

"Varan Lad! What the hell happened here?! How did you let the situation become this severe?!" the Wyvern Ancestor reprimanded.

Emperor Varan smiled bitterly before recounting the events to the Wyvern Ancestor in detail.

The scheme of the devils had been brewing in the Great Ratholos Empire for far too long that it couldn\'t be stopped; it was already a ticking time bomb waiting to erupt.

All they did was make it erupt earlier than planned in hopes of weakening it.

"To think such a thing happened…"

The Wyvern Ancestor was deeply shocked to learn of Galen\'s plan to summon the Vampire Ancestor and kin.

"Right, Wyvern Ancestor, you have superior observation and aerial advantage. What\'s the situation at the Sacred Tirtha?" Emperor Varan quickly inquired.

The Wyvern Ancestor briefly observed the Sacred Tirtha\'s location before snorting, "What kind of situation could there be at Sacred Tirtha? Everyone inside the red light region is dead. It\'s a completely dead zone!"

"They\'re all dead?!" Emperor Varan\'s eyes widened in shock.

"Right? After listening to your report, even this Ancient One was surprised to learn that so many foolish humans willingly sacrificed their lives for the demons," the Wyvern Ancestor mentioned with doubt and contempt, thinking humans were truly stupid.

However, Emperor Varan quickly frowned in thought. At the same time, he warded off the incoming Vampiric Demon Bats with his sword.

"That\'s not right. There were numerous signs suggesting the Sacred Tirtha worshipped the Great Devil Hecate. So why would they sacrifice themselves for the Great Devil Abaddon? Even the Delarosas were shocked by Galen\'s reveal…"

Emperor Varan contemplated for a moment before his eyes suddenly flashed with insight.

"That Old Demon Galen was far more heartless than I thought. He actually tricked everyone at the Sacred Tirtha into sacrificing themselves to the Great Devil Abaddon! Even his own family wasn\'t spared!"

Clap, clap, clap…

A round of applause suddenly alarmed Emperor Varan, causing him to turn around and locate the source.

"Who?!" Emperor Varan barked.
