"..." Elena and everyone else feltplicated because none expected the situation to be this bad.


    Ecked blood, Ariel lost many lifespans, and the other holy knightdy received internal injuries. Thetter was healed by Elena easily and quickly, but the first two suffered severe problems.


    "I''ve caught the demon." Sylvia showed the demon trapped in her energy.


    "Who dares to hit me!? Roar!" Mavis, the legendary magma ck dragon, roared with rage.


    "Hmph!" Gio growled and stomped his foot on the magma ck dragon''s head.


    "Good. We need to get out of here first. The evil aura and corrosion here are very annoying." Rhea nced at the ck magma dragon below, then looked around. "What about the other holy knights? They are E''s five guardian knights."


    "We''ve found three, including these two. The other two might have the same fate as Do?" Sylvia muttered casually.


    "How dare you, lowly human! Roar!" Mavis whipped his tail into the ground, creating a ck magma that burned the ruins of the forbidden city.


    The oxygen instantly thinned and disappeared, and hot magma exploded from the ground upwards.


    *Boom!*


    The entire ce was burned by ck mes, melting the ground into a ckish red.


    ''Gio, let''s surface now and take that fat dragon. It''s not profitable if you fight in a narrow dungeon with a high level of evil aura corrosion like here.'' Elena spoke to Gio via telepathy. She then raised her hand and cast her magic.


    *Rumble!* *Boom!*


    A golden pir of light pierced out to the surface, creating a massive hole. Elena then brought everyone out.


    "Grr..." Gio looked at his hands and feet. He was slightly burned, but his wounds were healed in an instant.


    "Lizard man, I will devour you! Roar!" Mavis opened his jaw wide, about to devour the strong foe in front of him.


    "Hmm!" Gio raised his leg and hit the ground with a loud bang.


    *Rumble!*


    An earth pir rose high, sending the fat magma ck dragon flying. Gio took the opportunity to jump and drag his opponent to the surface.


    "Graha!" Mavis tried to fight back, but the grip on his head was unbelievably firm.


    His opponent was only an Emperor-level lizard man, but he was so overwhelmed? He was a legendary ancient cmity beast capable of ravaging the world hundreds of thousands of years ago. Even the Gods were wary of him!


    "Roar!" Mavis roared again, making a magma explosion around him like a volcanic eruption.


    "Hmm!" Gio threw the hot creature into the sky. He shook his scorched hand, and it instantly recovered as he had never been injured.


    ''Master, can I kill him? That ugly dragon challenged me, and it made me angry.'' Gio made a w-hand gesture while ncing at his master.


    ''It''s fine if you want to kill that fat dragon, but there are things more terrifying than death, namely endless suffering.'' Elena didn''t feel like she or anyone else in her group needed any more cmity beasts, so she didn''t care about that fat magma ck dragon.


    ''Then, I will crush him until he wishes to die.'' Gio made up his mind. He then put his hands on the ground and roared loudly into the sky. "Roar!"


    *Swoosh!*


    Gio transformed his form into a colossal Tyrant Earth-Dragon. If his opponent was a legendary beast, he was immortal. He would win this power contest to prove his long-sealed strength.


    As long as he was on the ground, he was immortal, no matter the damage or impact he suffered.


    *Bam!*


    The ck magma dragonnded on the desert on all fours.


    "!?" Mavis was shocked to find a brown earth dragon staring at him with burning golden brown eyes.


    "Grrr!?" Mavis asked about his opponent''s identity in the beastnguage.


    "I heard your name is Mavis, the ancient cmity beast, the legendary magma ck dragon from the ruined forbidden city. The one who almost reached the divine realm as a worshiper of the ursed ones. Remember my great name. My name is Gio, the one who will crush you until you wish to die." Gio introduced himself.


    "You are so arrogant for just a lowly earth dragon! Your body is huge, but you are only an easy target. You will be scorched under the power of my legendary fiery magma! Roar!" Mavis took a deep breath, and he swelled up like a ball.


    He then breathed ck mes downwards and turned the surrounding desert into a ck magma domain.


    *Fwoosh!*


    The ck magma domain and smoldering ck mes extended to a radius of three kilometers. na and everyone else was forced to fly into the sky because they didn''t want to be caught in the fire.


    "The battle between the dragon, huh..." Elena was stabilizing Ariel''s condition with healing magic while watching Gio''s fight below.


    ''Nell, are you able to find the other two holy knights?'' Rhea sent telepathy to her little sister.


    ''I only found one, but she was long dead and crushed to pieces by a giant desert parasitic worm. She can''t be saved, but I''ll give her a proper burial. How''s the situation on your side, big sister?'' Nell responded quickly, still going to the forbidden city deep underground.


    ''The situation is not good. E and her guardian knights were seriously injured. Someone used E''s blood to summon an ancient cmity beast to the world. Gio is on a rampage right now, please get out of the underground or you will be buried there.'' Rhea immediately asked her little sister to join them again.


    ''Wait, what!?'' Nell gasped in surprise.


    ''Quick, use your teleportation talisman and bring everyone to our location. The disturbance has weakened considerably now.'' Rhea got straight to the point.


    "Roar!" The ck magma dragon let out a dragon roar and released a ck me breath that swirled like a tornado.


    "Grr!" Gio activated his imprable magic shield, protecting his body from all directions.


    *Bam!*


    The ck fire dragon roar crashed against the impregnable dome-like magic shield, breaking the ck fire tornado in all directions. However, it looked like he was swallowed up in the ck mes from a third perspective.


    Gio could see his opponent was not the ursed one with anti-magic capabilities. So, he could use his earth magic as he pleased and raged until satisfied.


    "Heh! Earth will never win in the face of fire and magma." Mavis snorted as he saw the earth dragon scorched in his legendary ck fire. His ck magma domain would guarantee that the earth dragon would not be able to put up any resistance.


    "Graagh!" Gio absorbed the energy from the earth and the surrounding elements without exception.


    The hot ck magma dimmed, and the ck mes were gradually extinguished. Gio''s brown body slowly turned ck like smoldering charcoal. His burning brown eyes also turned a fiery red. His current battle power skyrocketed due to the amount of energy he absorbed.


    "What!?" Mavis was shocked to see his opponent absorb his legendary fire, even his domain.


    "My name is Gio, the immortal earth dragon, the strongest ancient cmity beast!" Gio absorbed more of the earth''s energy. His body became more considerable than a mountain, and he stared down like his opponent was a fragile little lizard.


    "!?" Mavis widened his eyes inplete terror. He couldn''t remember that there was a cmity beast like this in the past, or maybe he didn''t remember this one?


    That earth dragon possessed his legendary fire and became much more significant than a mountain now... more than a hundred times his body size! It was like a hatchling trying to challenge the true mature colossal dragon!


    *Boom!*


    Gio stepped on the ck magma dragon, causing a massive earthquake and explosion of an atomic bomb super st.


    "This is crazy! Monster!" Mavis created an underground magma passage to escape. He almost died in one stomp from that colossal monster.


    Yet, the sand and soil suddenly moved like a stream of water, throwing the ck magma dragon to the surface.


    "You''re not going anywhere." Gio caught the little dragon with his ws. It was like he had just captured a little desert lizard.


    Mavis was actually the size of a small hill, but it was Gio with an unbelievablyrge size topare.


    "Argh!" Mavis felt his body crushed, but he was soon thrown to the ground and trampled by the colossal dragon.


    Mavis''s body could be flexible like magma, but the stomps were beyond painful. Not to mention the shockwaves and the tremendous impact the earthquake produced. It was the first time he was so helpless.


    His opponent was not a weak Emperor-level Earth Dragon, but a Godly Dragon! If time could be turned back, he would choose to run away rather than face this colossal monster. Unfortunately, he was tortured in that relentless barrage of attacks.


    Mavis''s body was crushed because the ground, soil, and sand couldn''t be used to escape. His opponent was the ruler of the earth. He apologized and begged forgiveness for being arrogant, but Gio couldn''t hear that.


    "Phew, that''s really crazy. Gio actually went berserk without control. Is that evil beast still alive?" Nell wiped her sweat. She was almost buried in the super st with her followers.


    "I don''t know. Gio decided to let his opponent suffer but not kill. However, his power went beyond the limit, and he raged until his heart was satisfied. The chances of his opponent surviving his stomps are so slim.


    He''s been recoveringtely, so he wants to test his strength? Instead of that, pleasee here. We need to save Ariel and E." Elena gave a nod of approval upon seeing Gio. He was such a happy dragon who was bullying the evil beast.


    "Okay. Just don''t go away like before. We almost got buried because of Gio''s earthquake stomps." Nell flew over to help E and Ariel.


    "It was you who went into the danger zone at will. We have a four parallel n ahead of you." Elena rolled her eyes.


    "Hmph!" Nell just snorted and pouted.


    "..." Apart from the Goddesses, everyone else gasped in amazement. It was the first time they had seen a cmity beast from the ancient era show his power. However, this colossal dragon was beyond dangerous at this point.


    Luckily, Gio was on their side. Otherwise, the world might be in danger.


    "And they treat this kind of cmity beast as their pet? He doesn''t mind either? What''s with them and this world?" Fortuna held her forehead as she felt confused.


    "Wow~" Vanessa pped her hands with sparkles in her eyes. Unfortunately, only the Beast Race could understand what the two dragons were saying.
