[World 19, Death Territory]
[On the Field]
The armies of the Seven Great Nations were frantically suppressing Dragon Nation.
In this war that was sure to be won, they were becoming increasingly arrogant and smug.
"The world's third strongest nation, what, is this all you've got?"
"To dare oppose our Seven Great Nations, how dare you?"
"Without Zero, you are nothing!"
"Haha! Don't overestimate them. Even with Zero, Dragon Nation is still nothing but crap!"
"What's more, Zero already died inside the Ghost Tower, he's gone~"
"Eh, what should we use to save you?", Higashino Araki stepped on a Dragon Nation professional, looked down at him, and spoke in a mocking tone, "What do you think?"
The Dragon Nation warrior underfoot, though disabled, had a strong will, "Don't be too proud too early. One day, our Dragon Nation will trample your entire Eastern Nation underfoot!"
"Dragon Nation will never be defeated!"
"Is that so? Then I await that day!"
As he said this, Higashino Araki raised his staff, aiming it at the Dragon Nation warrior under his feet, "But before that, you can die first!"
Higashino Araki was just about to cast a spell to blast the Dragon Nation warrior beneath him.
At this moment, from the floating sky came a deafening, thunderous dragon roar.
This dragon roar echoed across the sky, and even the ground trembled.
At this moment, everyone on the field raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a massive black dragon, so huge it could block out the sky, flying swiftly toward them from afar.
That black dragon radiated a dark, apocalyptic aura.
Those who saw it were all shocked.
"Where did this dragon come from?"
"Wait… why does that dragon look kind of familiar, like I've seen it before?"
"That… isn't that Dragon Nation's Necromancer Zero's dragon?"
"Nani?"
Even Higashino Araki looked utterly shocked.
"How is this possible! Wasn't his dragon killed along with him inside the Ghost Tower by the King-level Boss, Ice-Sealed War God Weikano? We saw it with our own eyes!"
"Yeah! Weikano clearly had the Death Mark effect on him. Logically, anyone killed by it should bypass resurrection and suffer permanent death!"
"Not logically, absolutely!", Vicks from the Batan Empire said incredulously, "After they died, they all turned to ashes instantly. There's no way there was a mistake. They were clearly permanently dead…"
In their shock.
Everyone dared not believe that the dragon in the sky was really Zhang Yue's Thirty-Six-Wing Armageddon Black Dragon.
"That definitely isn't his dragon!"
"Zero is already dead. His dragon, his pets, they're all dead. Don't panic, this definitely isn't his!"
Professionals from the Seven Great Nations tried to reassure themselves.
But in the next moment, the giant dragon dove toward the ground at incredible speed.
ROAR!!
Another deafening roar forced everyone on the ground to instinctively cover their ears.
As the distance grew closer.
From the Sun Nation, the Glory Knight Columba stared at the black dragon and suddenly widened his eyes, "That IS Zero's dragon!"
"Damn! Defend! Everyone, get ready!"
Confirming that the creature was indeed the Thirty-Six-Wing Armageddon Black Dragon, the entire audience panicked.
Because everyone knew just how terrifying this dragon under Zero was.
Even a level-six beast tide could be withstood by it.
Could the Seven Great Nations' professionals withstand a level-six beast tide?
In the next moment, everyone activated their defense modes.
At the same time, the Mythical-grade Thirty-Six-Wing Armageddon Black Dragon dove down.
Opening its massive bloody maw, it let out a roar and breathed a torrent of scorching dragonfire, instantly engulfing a large area of the ground and dozens of professionals from the American Empire.
Instantly, over the heads of those covered by the dragonfire, lines of blood-red damage numbers jumped up—
-93.25 million!
-92.36 million!
-93.33 million!
Moments later—
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Countless beams of white light shot into the sky, mixed with many bursts of starlight.
The area covered by dragonfire was left completely barren.
The Armageddon Black Dragon did not pause for a second.
Following up immediately.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Its built-in machine turrets fired rapidly, spewing energy orbs in all directions. Upon impact, they triggered the [Radiant Apocalypse: Immortal Demon Body] AOE splash damage effect, unleashing massive group attacks.
Each blast dealing over 90 million AOE damage, Obliterating everything in its path.
On the field, no professionals targeted by the Armageddon Black Dragon's attacks survived.
Basically, anyone touched by an energy wave was instantly killed.
After all, the damage numbers spoke for themselves.
At this stage, a level 100+ professional might have at most a hundred or two hundred thousand HP. Even tough warriors or knights with top-tier gear would cap at three to four hundred thousand HP.
With such low HP, how could anyone survive an attack from the Armageddon Black Dragon that deals nearly a hundred million damage?
Just one hit, and it was like they owed the dragon dozens of lives.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Countless white lights and starlights flashed continuously.
The Armageddon Black Dragon had been on the field for less than three seconds, and the number of casualties had already soared into the thousands.
The scene immediately plunged into chaos.
Professionals from the Seven Great Nations were all in utter panic.
"F*ck! Why is Zero's dragon still alive?"
"If this dragon is still alive, could it be… Zero isn't dead either?"
"No way! The live broadcast clearly showed the streamer's death, killed by Ice-Sealed War God Weikano, triggering the Death Mark's permanent erasure effect. There's no way he could've survived!"
Everyone on the field was dumbfounded.
Until the Thirty-Six-Wing Armageddon Black Dragon descended from the sky, landing in a field it had already cleared out.
The dragon deliberately lowered its body.
Only then did people notice: on the back of the Armageddon Black Dragon, someone was riding it.
That person was a beast tamer wearing a golden, glowing long robe, Zhang Yue.
[Level 110 Tier 3 Necromancer · Zero] (Dragon Nation)!
When the ID above Zhang Yue's head lit up, everyone was stunned.
"Ne… Necromancer… Zero!"
"He's still alive!"
"How could he still be alive! How is this possible! This isn't possible!"
At this moment, Zhang Yue blinked once and leapt off the dragon's back, landing on the ground.
He supported the heavily injured Thracian squad leader, Dark General Sparta, who had just been knocked down by the enemy.
Facing the armies of the Eastern and Cold Nation before him, he said, "Sorry to disappoint you."
"I'm back."
