Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

Chapter 244: Demon King's Possession

The Heroes of the Thunderous Society were dumbfounded. President Luo had just displayed immense power, only to be defeated head-on by an elf who seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Was there anything more ironic than this?

This Elven King was truly terrifying! Summoning five monarch units, each representing one an Elemental King, inherently possessed formidable, earth-shattering power. Yet, she went a step further, unleashing the full might of all five elemental Kings, converging their energies into a single devastating attack. The sheer force of this attack was overwhelming. Even units of the same rank and level would sustain significant injuries if subjected to it head-on. Who could withstand such power? Undoubtedly, she was no ordinary Elven King.

In fact, she was a super powerhouse among the elves, a remarkable figure even among all Elven Kings. The entrance of the Arcane Giant had caused shockwaves throughout the imperial camp, and the defeat it suffered now dealt a significant blow to the imperial forces. This legendary Mage King, who had yet to unleash widespread destruction, was directly struck in the face before he could make her move. The impact of this defeat was immense, causing shivers down the spines of the imperial forces.

Nancilia's timely intervention was crucial. If the Arcane Giant had continued to wreak havoc unchecked, not only would the Darkness City's three dragons face dire consequences, but the entire army of the Darkness City would suffer heavy losses.

Of course, this round of attacks also took a toll on Nancilia. Summoning five Level 6 monarch units was no simple task. She turned to Long Yi and said, "The Mage King's arcane incarnation has been shattered, and he will undoubtedly suffer backlash, but he won't be fatally wounded. We can't underestimate him."

The battle was far from over, and there was no room for complacency. Tien City remained a tough nut to crack. Luo Zheng had been temporarily defeated, but he had not perished yet, and the other Heroes, along with the Blood Lion Knights, posed a significant threat.

Long Yi reassured, "We can handle the other Heroes and the empire's lackeys. However, dealing with the mage, Halyfax, may require Your Excellency, the Elven King, to intervene."

Nancilia nodded, "Leave it to me." She raised her staff, and thousands of vines surged forward like a river, washing over Tien City. While these tendrils could not directly dismantle the fortified city's protective barrier, they absorbed its power, weakening the defense.

"Charge!"

"For Darkness City!"

"For the Chaos Federation!"

"Capture this city and exterminate the damn Heroes!"

Under the command of the Dark Dragon King, everyone launched their assault. The thunderous lightning blast from the ten true dragons swiftly cut open a massive breach in the weakened barrier.

"Damn it all!"

"Don't let the Demon King succeed!"

"Long live the Empire! Long live Bachor!"

The Heroes and knights of the empire roared in response. This battle could not end in reconciliation; they had to press on with unwavering determination.

Thunderclap Guild's Xing Rong activated his transformation skill, morphing into a demonic figure with horns, joining the fray against Long Yi. Under normal circumstances, two Level 6 Heroes could contend with a Level 5 monarch unit. However, the Darkness City forces had four monarch units present, including Nancilia, the top-tier Level 6 Elven King. Without Luo Zheng's intervention, relying solely on the power of the Thunderous Guild would be challenging to cope with this force.

Now, the biggest suspense lingered: could Luo Zheng still fight?

If Luo Zheng could rejoin the battle, the empire still held the advantage. He only needed to hold off the formidable Elven King, allowing the major guilds and top-tier Heroes to handle the three Dragon Kings. This combined force could definitely rival Darkness City, which could lead to the worst case scenario where both sides suffered losses, if not mutually assured destruction in this battle.

In the midst of the tense atmosphere within the imperial  camp, a powerful magical force struck the Darkness City forces. Emerging from the midst of the Darkness City forces, an inconspicuous ice crystal was summoned. Despite its unassuming appearance, the contained frigid power was exceptionally terrifying.

S-tier magic --- Glacial Descent!

This crystal, resembling an ready-to-bloom lotus, had just developed a few cracks on its surface. The leaked energy instantly froze dozens of draconian super soldiers into ice sculptures. Such formidable magic! The observers were once again astonished. If this magic were to be fully unleashed, the resulting damage would undoubtedly be severe. Moreover, its wide-reaching impact could inflict significant losses on the Darkness City legion.

"Hells! That mage! He hasn't lost his combat capability!"

The faces of the Darkness City forces turned serious. At the same time, the empire side breathed a sigh of relief.

Nancilia quickly cast a sealing spell: "Elven King's Sealing Art!" The soon-to-blossom energy-releasing ice lotus suddenly faced a constraint from some kind of energy. Its release was suppressed, and the speed of its energy discharge slowed down.

"Teleportation!" Li Si activated spatial magic, instantly hurling this sealed magical phenomenon to a mountain peak several miles away.

The next moment, the dreadful magic erupted in the distance. The majority of the mountain was covered and frozen by the potent ice elemental energy. That mage still had the ability to strike and he possessed several S-tier magics. Such magics were too dangerous, too powerful! A swift resolution was imperative!

As the Imperial knights and warriors clashed with the Dark City forces, Nancilia took the opportunity to bypass these troops and directly reach the location where Luo Zheng was positioned. This was the city center, several dozen mages sat atop a large magic formation, jointly guarding an elderly man in the twilight of his life.

"Found you!" Nancilia waved her staff, unleashing an almost instantaneous A-rank destructive explosion. The intense fire attribute attack exploded upon the large formation but was staunchly blocked by its formidable defense.

Luo Zheng's expression turned dark. He was already weakened, and the arcane backlash further diminished his strength. If previously he could have managed to live for another three to five years, now even three months seemed questionable. This angered him greatly. If he could not successfully obtain the Tree of Eternity this time, he would inevitably approach the end of his lifespan. This was an outcome Luo Zheng absolutely did not want to see!

*Cough, cough...* Luo Zheng coughed, blood dripping from his mouth and nose. After a prolonged fit, he spoke, "You did break my ultimate move. That has never happened before. However, with the attack just now, in your current state, you won't be able to replicate it a second time, can you?"

Nancilia responded, "Even if that's the case, with the remaining strength I have, dealing with a half-dead old man like you is more than enough!"

"Hahaha, is that so?" Luo Zheng laughed. "You are indeed strong, but you are still too young, lacking in battle experience. This will make you pay a tremendous price with your life!"

As he spoke, the large formation turned red. Twenty top-tier mages within it screamed in agony, their bodies visibly withering at an alarming rate. Their vital blood and magical power were stripped away, and they collapsed to the ground, lifeless. Luo Zheng took a deep breath, inhaling vast amounts of extracted blood. His depleted energy was swiftly replenished. Even the wrinkles on his face diminished significantly, as if he had suddenly become younger by a century or two.

Nancilia's expression changed slightly. Although Halyfax was obviously suppressing his injuries forcefully and had achieved temporary recovery, yet it seemed like he had fully recovered, and he was in slightly better condition than before.

Simultaneously, a multitude of teleportation lights appeared around the once empty space. Dozens, even hundreds, of Heroes were teleported to the location. Each of these Heroes possessed strength around Level 4. While they might not be the most elite at the moment, they were still considered top-tier.

Curses! She fell into an ambush set by this old trickster! The spatial prohibition formation in Tien City was canceled to allow teleportations, and these Heroes had long prepared for this ambush.

Luo Zheng said, "Do you still have the confidence to deal with me, this half-dead old man? The Tree of Eternity belongs to me, and Darkness City is destined for destruction! With your strength, you can't stop me."

The Tree of Eternity was the homeland of the elves, the very foundation of the Giantree City. The Darkness City was also the crucial heart and brain of the Chaos Federation. Either of these being threatened would enrage the Elven King. Moreover, this old man intended to simultaneously destroy these two vital entities. Nancilia was completely infuriated. She decided that even if it meant a mutual demise, she would eliminate all these people!

With her current strength, achieving a mutual demise should be possible. However, at this moment, something unexpected happened. A consciousness and power descended from a distant place, instantly arriving at Nancilia. It rapidly restored the energy she had expended.

"This is... It's from His Majesty!"

The Demon King sat on the castle altar, closely monitoring the battle. When he sensed the critical situation in Tien City, he activated the new ability of the Demon King's altar, "Demon King's Possession." This meant that a portion of the Demon King's power was projected onto the Elven King.This not only directly restored the Elven King's depleted mana but also significantly enhanced her strength beyond its original state.

Nancilia was surprised, "I've lost control of my body!"

Zhang Nu said calmly, "Don't panic. I'm remotely controlling you. Let me take over the fight from here."

"What? I'm being remotely controlled by His Majesty?" Nancilia found it hard to believe. Nevertheless, her unwavering trust in the Demon King prevented her from resisting, and she relaxed her body.

After the Demon King's Possession, the target could act freely and be remotely manipulated. Zhang Nu was currently using the latter method. Although he was in the distant Demon King Castle in the Darkness City, he could use Nancilia's body and a portion of her power, along with some of his own strength, to engage in combat. Of course, the time was limited, at most a dozen minutes. Thus, he must end this battle swiftly.

"What's going on?" Luo Zheng immediately noticed that the opponent's aura and presence were abnormal. "Something's off! Kill her quickly!" The present Heroesimmediately took action. Luo Zheng unleashed three A-rank spells in an instant. Various energies enveloped the Elven King like a torrential storm. In this situation, escape was nearly impossible. Even with the formidable defense of the Elven King, it would be rapidly depleted, eventually rendering her completely powerless.

"Abyssal Devour!" Nancilia stomped her foot, and an endless black mist spread from her body, expanding in concentric circles like a colossal vortex, covering everything within hundreds of meters. All magical energies and various Qi attacks were drawn into the black mist. What? What kind of magic was this? It was entirely different from the Elven King's previous combat methods. Luo Zheng could not explain the reason, but there must have been some change in the Elven King.

"Oh no!"

"Stop!"

"She's absorbing our power!"

After the attacks were absorbed by the black vortex, it turned red, compressing the energies, gathering them in the Elven King's left hand, forming a high-density energy sphere. At the same time, five Elemental Kings were resummoned, and as soon as they were summoned, all their energy was transformed, converging on the Elven King's Scepter in her right hand.

"Elemental Fusion!" The Elven King threw the energy sphere from her left hand and simultaneously released the power of the five elements. The two forces collided in the air, unleashing an energy more dazzling than the sun, with a destructive shockwave that expanded uncontrollably, engulfing all targets present. Nancilia herself almost did not manage to escape. However, just before being engulfed, she forcibly tore open a spatial rift and instantly teleported away.

Boom! Accompanied by a dazzling light, everyone in Tien City saw a giant mushroom cloud rising. Under this energy coverage, everything turned to ashes.

"This..." Nancilia could not dare to imagine.

The power of the Demon King's Possession had also been exhausted. Before leaving, Zhang Nu said to Nancilia, "The trouble has been dealt with. The rest is up to you."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. That old mage is dead, and the others are not worth worrying about!"

Once again, she was amazed by the unfathomable power of the Demon King. Withdrawing his consciousness, within the Demon King's castle, the Great Demon King slowly opened his eyes. Zhang Nu regarded that the power of the Demon King's possession was quite useful. Although the duration was very short and could only project a minimal portion of power onto his subjects, it was enough to unleash unexpected effects without exposing his true condition.

When he checked the information panel, numerous notifications flashed.
