Chapter 248: Return of the Sanguine Berserker!
"Kraaa!"
However, the blow only gave a small nick to the wyvern\'s scales before its mouth began to absorb the cold aura from the world and formed an array of ice spears. Its cold blue eyes focused on Asmodeus.
The black-haired demon smirked as he extended his arm while grabbing the handle of his demon blade. However, just as the wyvern released the ice spears, a dark figure landed on top of the beast.
"You bastard, interrupting me!" Velvet\'s body was glowing with a vibrant purple aura as her fists rained down on the beast\'s forehead, her feet on its neck.
Each blow seemed to flicker with black dots as if stars of darkness twinkled in her violet aura.
"Kraaaaa!" The wyvern let out a low screech as it began to flap its wings once again, but it was already too late, for it had lost the advantage and couldn\'t get the momentum to take flight as several knights began to throw metal chains over its wings.
Velvet\'s attacks continued to rain down on its body as if she were a celestial meteor shower that fell upon the wyvern. Her eyes shone with a cold light as she continued to strike at the beast\'s head.
Her blows echoed with a deep reverberation. The damage each blow dealt sounded like she was hitting a drunk with a boulder.
The stone!
She knew it was there; that was the weakness of this type of demon beast. They used a type of blood crystal to enhance their strength, but because it wasn\'t part of their original body, it left an opening.
\'No... it\'s too late!\' She thought, knowing that the crystal began to form a blue colour, and each time her fist struck the black stone, it caused her hands to feel an icy chill. Velvet snapped her head and looked at Asmodeus, who sliced into the wyvern\'s chest with his black blade.
"Asmodeus! It\'s going to evolve into a dragon. It\'s too late!"
Velvet\'s words caused Asmodeus to stop the attack—he gazed up to see the Wyvern\'s eyes, body and crystal and realised its body was changing colour rapidly! "Get away! Everyone pull back! Velvet!" He thrust his palm towards the dragon\'s chest, a huge flame swirling around his palm, forming a ball of black and red fire.
The wyvern felt its heart constrict.
Velvet nodded her head as she kicked against the beast\'s forehead and propelled herself into the air. However, the air froze instantly as if a deity appeared. A blade of ice penetrated her from behind as the small black stone now formed a horn of ice that was dripping with her blood.
The wyvern\'s body began to grow in size. The knights\' chains could not hold it as it broke through with ease as if they were paper thin.
"Graaa!"
A deafening roar rang through the sky, a blue light shining from its body as the horn began to suck in the surrounding air and snow.
"Gaha....?!" Blood spurt from Velvet\'s mouth as the dragon threw her to the ground, her body sliding off the long horn of ice. She gasped for air as she grabbed her stomach and felt her vision begin to blur as she stared at the monster that got revenge on her, its ice-blue eyes looking at her with contempt.
Its wings had increased in size, and its scales now formed into thick armour plating while its two claws grew longer and sharper.
"Akranar Tum!" (Foolish, Woman)
Asmodeus flung himself in the path of her fall, his arms open wide, while the ice blades at his back became flame lances, shooting towards the dragon. The flame lances slammed against the beast\'s chest as it opened its mouth and created a ball of ice in its jaw, which it fired towards Asmodeus.
However, the moment it did this, it sensed something was wrong and immediately moved its head to the side.
The moment Asmodeus grabbed Velvet and felt her heavy breathing and the amount of blood oozing from her stomach, his left hand thrust forward and began to cannon blood lances towards the dragon. His eyes turned black out of anger and loathing towards the lizard.
"I\'m not going to let you die..." He whispered in Velvet\'s ear.
"Damn lizard... who is going to die? I\'m not a damsel, idiot!" Velvet wanted to curse but found herself in a daze as she struggled to stay awake.
"Kraaaaa!" The Wyvern roared, its mouth opening wide as its jaw formed into a giant sphere of blue light, spitting a beam of frost in a vast arc across the canyon and village.
Asmodeus cursed under his breath as he saw the attack, which became directed towards the village instead of him. A look of relief flashed in his eyes as he noticed the destroyed houses were empty. The people of the village were nowhere to be seen.
\'Good...\' Asmodeus felt a bit relieved, knowing that they were all safe and unharmed, but he knew that this was only temporary because once the dragon began to search the village, it would destroy the place.
"Huu..." He looked at Velvet, whose face was pale, but there was still a glint of determination in her eyes.
"Can you keep fighting, princess?" Asmodeus conjured a wall of earth to protect them, his left hand glowing with a brown magic circle while spears of flame rained down from his back like homing missiles.
Velvet nodded her head while clenching her fists; her body began to glow with a dull purple aura as she stood up straight and staggered forward, her eyes focused on the half-dragon that was flapping its wings in the sky.
Asmodeus grabbed her hand before she could rush forward and stepped close, their faces almost touching as Velvet blushed, letting out a gasp, before he placed a bottle of red liquid into her lips, causing the royal lady to blush further upon feeling his fingers touch her red lips. "Drink, it\'ll heal your wounds."
The wyvern flapped its wings as it took to the sky, its blue eyes scanning the area as it noticed the flames raining towards it and the woman that caused its evolution to fail, the woman now entwined with the male that kept tearing its wings.
The ice dragon\'s eyes narrowed as it opened its mouth and let out a low cry, causing the surrounding wind to freeze as ice collected around its body, forming dozens of spears and freezing the surrounding area around the dragon—many of the knights who came with Asmodeus ran away in fear.
Velvet\'s eyes flickered as she watched the ice spears fly towards the man who saved her life, and she found herself grabbing his arm to pull him out of the way. However, she didn\'t realise that he didn\'t move; instead, he flicked his wrist, causing a crimson barrier to block the spears before they could strike him.
It was a beautiful sight to her. The flames looked like the potion on her lips. As they melted the dragon\'s fierce ice, she felt a warmth growing in her stomach. Velvet felt her pain vanish. Her aches and sore feelings from her bones also disappeared.
\'What kind of potion could heal someone that fast...\' She wondered but felt something strange. Velvet gazed up at Asmodeus and realised that he had closed his eyes. She saw him reach out his hand and grab the air as if he was trying to snatch something invisible.

"Haha, it\'s time to show you my strength." He chuckled like this was just a training match before his black sword transformed into an axe, the same length as Asmodeus with a massive head. The size of his chest.
\'Is that the axe he used to use?! It\'s so much bigger?! The blade is almost double the size! How heavy is that thing?\' Velvet found herself thinking in shock as she gazed at Asmodeus with a surprised look in her eyes.
"Do you know why they call me the Bloody Tyrant?" Asmodeus laughed as the axe began to glow with a crimson aura, his body glowing with a dark and blood-red aura.
"..."
Before she could hear the answer, his body already shot towards the half-dragon, his axe pulled back before Asmodeus cleaved the dragon\'s chest with his axe, the power causing a roar of wind and a thunderclap to echo through the sky.
His body flickered like a shadow, and as he reappeared, his body was already in front of the dragon. His eyes were shining with a sinister red glow as his axe struck the dragon\'s chest again.
His movements were too fast for Velvet to keep up with, and it was when she heard the wyvern\'s cries did she noticed the huge chunks of broken flesh and dragon scales reinforced by ice now lying on the ground shattered. Asmodeus himself bathed in the dragon\'s blood and held his axe above his head while the dragon\'s massive claws struck down, trying to crush him.
"Hahahahaha!" Asmodeus was covered in claw marks and wounds, while the dragon\'s chest was flowing with blood. A strange scene made Velvet\'s heart tighten and jump.
Velvet couldn\'t take her eyes off him. Her eyes stared at him as if he was her saviour, and at that moment, she felt herself wanting to rush towards him. She wanted to run her fingers across his face and wipe the blood from his lips, but she felt it would be too embarrassing.
\'Why am I having these thoughts?!\'
Boom!
The Dragon\'s body overturned, and while Asmodeus punched its face with his left hand, several teeth shattered and flew from its mouth, causing the dragon to growl in pain. Yet He didn\'t stop, his axe dropped after glowing red, tearing into the neck of the dragon.
However, it wasn\'t deep enough to penetrate and kill the monster.
"Damn! Even my Savage Rend didn\'t kill you, tough bastard!"
"Graaa Simbuck Tarun!" (You filthy demon!)
"Hahaha! Fight me more you damn lizard!"
Asmodeus looked at the enemy with a strange glow—he seemed to shine each time they exchanged blows. Blood and flesh swirled around their bodies, but Asmodeus seemed to be almost glistening with brilliance.
"!!!!"
The dragon roared in anger, its icy blue eyes turning dark with rage as the ice on its body began to change into a deep blue colour while its wings began to glow with a bright silver light.
Velvet\'s eyes narrowed as she realised the wyvern was using its vitality as some sort of mana.
"Asmodeus, be careful!"
