Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1373: Chapter 1372: Blow for Blow

”It’s you!!”

Hearing this voice, the shadow was instantly stunned, then let out an angry roar. Of course, it would never forget this voice. If it hadn’t underestimated the opponent back then, it wouldn’t have been injured to this degree in one blow, even being taken advantage of by those damned mortals!

”This time, let’s see what you’re capable of in our fight!”

Transformed into the Star Forging Dragon King, Fang Zheng faced the Dragon King of Evil without any hint of retreat. What a joke, this time was different from the last. Last time, he was merely a player in the Main World system, forcibly logged off by the Dragon King of Evil through despicable means like a hacker. However, this time, he carried his own server. Let’s see what you can do to me?

”Sealing!”

With this thought, Fang Zheng roared, and the land before him changed instantly. Lothric Royal City and boundless ruins reappeared on this land. The Dark Ring hung high in the sky, symbolizing the blazing Primordial Fire, which turned the whole world into a furnace.

And on this land, a Giant Dragon formed of starlight and with the Star Sea as its body rose high, its form nearly spanning the entire sky, its claws even overshadowing the Sun.

On the other side, the murky mist quickly dispersed, forming a massive cloud resembling storm clouds. A pitch-black, gigantic creature opened its blood-red eyes, glaring fiercely at the Star Dragon before it.

”This time, you won’t have a chance to escape, Dragon. You will understand the true meaning of Chaos!”

With the Dragon King of Evil’s roar, the darkness beneath it began to spread rapidly, causing the ground to decay wherever it reached. Even the sturdy walls of Lothric Royal City, once covered by the black cloud, softened like rotten bread, emitting a foul stench.

”Hehe.”

Watching this scene, Fang Zheng snorted coldly.

”Still want to resist? How adorably foolish.”

As the words fell, the Star Dragon raised its head high. Beside it, three stars, burning and shining like the Sun, spun and spread out. Then, in the next moment, the Star Forging Dragon King leapt forward sharply, rushing into the gray mist formed by the Dragon King of Evil. Its body accelerated like a galaxy, slicing through the firmament and charging into the mist.

Then, the three stars revolving around the dragon suddenly spun swiftly and expanded! The dazzling radiance seemed to transform into blades of light, mercilessly tearing through the thick, dark mist. Simultaneously, a massive figure appeared from within the mist, roaring and waving its giant claws to grasp Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng, on the other hand, collided head-on with the creature, forcibly tearing it out of the mist and slamming it heavily to the ground.

Only at this moment did Fang Zheng finally see clearly what the legendary Dragon King of Evil looked like.

To be precise, it was no longer a dragon.

Unlike the forms of most Western dragons, the Dragon King of Evil now only retained its original dragon shape in the upper body, while below the waist, it resembled a snake tail with countless tentacles. Its two front claws were many times stronger than an ordinary Giant Dragon’s. As for its head... Fang Zheng, after all, wasn’t a purebred dragon, so he couldn’t judge its beauty. But at least the head of this giant dragon looked like a canvas cruelly scribbled over by a child’s paintbrush, with scars running every which way.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the sunken wound on the chest of the Dragon King of Evil. Fang Zheng recognized it at once as the ”souvenir” he had previously given to the opponent. It seemed back then, the Dragon King of Evil had completely failed to anticipate that he would have the ability to counterattack, resulting in taking the blow head-on. Looking at it now...

Hehehe, how does it feel?

”You bastard, I’ll definitely kill you!!”

Ripped out of the mist by Fang Zheng, the Dragon King of Evil was now filled with rage. That mistake back then was a particularly humiliating disgrace. At that time, the Dragon King of Evil, just on a whim, tried to respond to the summon of its believers and personally joined the fray.

Initially, in the Dragon King’s view, the opponent was merely an ordinary mortal. Even just a Blade of Chaos forged from its scales would be enough to annihilate him. The reason it intervened personally was merely due to a sudden interest.

But unexpectedly, the one it thought was just an ant on the roadside had bitten it fiercely, causing it to be gravely weakened. The full-on strike from the Star Forging Dragon King was not something easily dealt with, especially since the Dragon King of Evil had been completely off guard at the time. The consequence was its dwelling being utterly destroyed, and it had no choice but to retreat to the Twilight Frontier for recuperation.

Originally, the Dragon King of Evil hoped to rely on the Chaos Power of the Twilight Frontier to recover, but that damned Pope somehow learned of its plan and came with a group of people to cause trouble. Although the ones accompanying the Pope were eventually killed by the Dragon King of Evil, they almost allowed the Pope to completely seal it due to their interference.

But now, its situation was even worse!

If the opponent were the Pope, the Dragon King of Evil wouldn’t worry too much. At most, it would be sealed for decades. Once its Chaos Power was restored, it could possibly counter-corrupt the seal, devouring its power.

But the terrifying Star Dragon before it right now might actually be the end of it!

Life imprisonment and the death penalty, everyone knows which to choose!

The Dragon King of Evil was already having second thoughts. If it were at its full strength, it might dare to take on the opponent equally. However, since the Dragon King of Evil hadn’t fully recovered from its injuries, and resisting the Pope’s seal consumed a significant amount of energy, the Chaos Aura it had absorbed was completely cleansed by Fang Zheng’s Ship of Inheritance.

At this moment, the Dragon King of Evil was merely a withered bow, while Fang Zheng was fully charged with the Star Forging Dragon King, at peak condition. Taking on a half-dead Dragon King of Evil was not much of a challenge for him.

Of course, to avoid accidents, Fang Zheng decided to use the most straightforward method.

And that was to go head-on!!

The Chaos Beast had its own Chaos Force Field, with an additional ”90% Order Attack Nullification” buff. If Fang Zheng were to launch a long-range attack like a Magic Missile Storm or Starfall, it likely wouldn’t inflict any real damage. At such a time, the best solution was to directly confront it with his body, filled with the Power of Order!

Thus began a street brawl that shook the heavens and made ghosts and gods weep.

The Star Forging Dragon King, which Fang Zheng had transformed into, had the appearance of an Eastern Dragon, while the Dragon King of Evil’s body was half that of a Western Dragon. Fang Zheng extended his foreclaw, grabbing the Dragon King of Evil’s two arms and slamming it hard to the ground. The Dragon King of Evil, unwilling to be outdone, coiled its serpent-like lower body, wrapping it tightly around the Star Forging Dragon King’s hind legs.

The two colossal dragons, as mighty as mountains, rolled together in a tangled mess. The Dragon King of Evil opened its bloodthirsty maw, snapping at Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng swayed his neck, dodging the attacks. When the Dragon King of Evil opened its mouth, Fang Zheng could clearly see the insides filled with countless ugly, maggot-like creatures!

Who knows what might happen if bitten by that thing!

”Roar———!!”

Fang Zheng roared angrily, ramming his head into the Dragon King of Evil’s snout, which elicited a painful howl, as its arms ferociously tore at Fang Zheng. Even a body made of stars started to distort and twist under the Dragon King of Evil’s assault, while Fang Zheng felt an evil, violent force trying to invade his body through the wounds.

Damn, I don’t believe I can’t take you down?!

Fang Zheng wasn’t adept at close-quarter combat in his dragon form, but fortunately, the Star Forging Dragon King was. Taking advantage of the Dragon King of Evil loosening its grip in pain, he headbutted it fiercely and then opened his mouth, biting down on the Dragon King of Evil’s neck!

A foul stench assaulted him. If Fang Zheng didn’t remember that he was in a life-and-death battle, he might have retched involuntarily.

However, at that moment, he could only grit his teeth, enduring the disgust, taking a deep breath.

The next moment, searing Primordial Fire spewed forth from Fang Zheng’s mouth, engulfing the Dragon King of Evil’s body.

”Awoooo—————!!!”

The fire, primordial and merciless, poured into the Dragon King of Evil’s body through the wounds torn by Fang Zheng. At that moment, the Dragon King of Evil could no longer bear it and let out a piercing scream, thrashing wildly, trying to break free from Fang Zheng’s hold. But Fang Zheng only held onto its neck tighter, unmoving—if he could burn this Dragon King of Evil to death, then his revenge would be complete!

”Crack... Crack... Crack...”

However, at this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly trembled as he felt a massive force approaching him. It was........

”Boom!!”

The dome of the sky shattered suddenly, and a pitch-black meteor descended from above, aiming for Fang Zheng’s head. If Fang Zheng didn’t release the Dragon King of Evil, the strike would pierce through his skull.

Life or death hung in that instant, and thousands of thoughts raced through Fang Zheng’s mind before he made his decision!

Fang Zheng lowered his head, and rather than letting go, he bit through the Dragon King of Evil’s neck!!

”Oooh—————!!”

Finally, with its neck bitten through by Fang Zheng, the Dragon King of Evil could no longer endure, letting out a final wail as it turned to ash in the Primordial Fire.

At the same moment, the dark streak neared the back of Fang Zheng’s head! Just a second more and it would pierce his skull!
