Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 564 "The Dragon God's Child" Helmond

That was once an authoritarian demigod!

—Helmond, the "child of the Dragon God"!
When Luo Xiu saw the name displayed on the panel, his pupils contracted sharply.

Almost the instant the [Saint's Decapitation] scythe, the sharpest "legendary" quality scythe he possessed, sliced ​​through the dragon's heart, [Death Realm Intuition] issued another strong warning.

But Luo Xiu, who was already prepared, dodged backward the instant the dark red color appeared and completely filled his vision, avoiding the first possible impact.

--boom!!!!!

With a violent explosion, the profound spiritual energy that burst forth from the heart of the dead dragon exploded outwards, burning fiercely and turning the surrounding area into a sea of ​​fire!

"..."

"Fafner... that 'Dragon Devourer' actually left me such a great treasure..."

Luo Xiu's lips moved slightly as he murmured softly.

In his constant monitoring of the being emerging from that heart, the panel displayed "Child of the Dragon God" Helmond, which was indeed the monster panel—its full name was [Evil Divine Heir - Child of the Dragon God - Helmond]!
He possesses the attributes and characteristics of a "divine offspring," but is also regarded as a "demon," and is a "primordial demon" of the same rank as the Devouring Dragon.

He must have been forcibly drowned in the Abyss by the Devouring Dragon and ultimately fell into depravity, just like the "Silver-blooded Calamity Dragon" Hogmoth.

As for His level—the only numerical value that Luo Xiu could see about Him was His level, which was lv.95, higher than the "Spirit of Authority" Hastia, but lower than the "Devouring Dragon" Fafnir Ramsanks.

Luo Xiu subconsciously analyzed these things.

During his previous exchanges with "The Dragon of Justice" Quesanx, when they discussed information about "The Devouring Dragon" and Fafnir, Quesanx had mentioned—

If [Authority] had not been struck down from the heavens by the "High Heavens" and thus perished, the progenitor of the ancient dragons would have passed on the complete destiny of [Authority] and the authority of the pillar god to Helmond, the "child of the dragon god," before his own power began to wear down and completely faded.

Because He was actually the true bloodline inheritor of the "First Dragon," His "child," and the only surviving divine offspring of the First Dragon at that time.

Helmond, the "child of the dragon god," possessed the power of a "demigod" from birth.

He was once the head of the three demigods of [Authority], and second only to the Primordial Dragon in the destiny of [Authority].

But now He is emerging from the heart of the Devouring Dragon's dead dragon, a sight that Luo Xiu finds hard to believe no matter what.

But thinking about it again, considering that his ancestor, "Alfonso Durant," also seemed to have seduced another [authoritarian] demigod, it makes much more sense that the Devouring Dragon could do something similar...

"--roar!!!!!"

As Luo Xiu held the [Saint's Decapitation] and stared intently at the scene before him, a trembling, mournful roar emanated from the deep, dark abyss that surged forth from the heart of the dead dragon like a black tide.

It seemed that dragon claws, burning with ghostly flames, had torn and emerged from the heart of the dead dragon;
Its long dragon neck had already broken free halfway, with clusters of sharp thorns standing upright like shattered sword blades, bursting forth with deep and intense scorching fire.
The dragon's head, also covered in sharp spines, remained buried inside the heart, struggling to break free completely.

Perhaps to Him, this cocoon of the dead dragon was both a swaddling cloth and a shackle—the devouring dragon nurtured Him and sealed Him here, clearly using Him as a weapon that could be used, or perhaps as a "container" of some kind of absolute high position.

As Luo Xiu watched this scene, his heart began to race, and he steadied himself, beginning a sacred prayer.

Even though Helmond, the "child of the dragon god," was not yet fully formed and appeared unusually illusory and distorted, the terrifying sense of oppression, accompanied by the overflowing spirituality, swept outwards like a tsunami.

Accompanied by an extremely powerful attraction, it frantically sucked in everything around it like a storm—Luo Xiu, who was closest to it, had prepared all the holy spells to defend himself in advance, but he could still feel his body being gradually pulled away from the ground by an extremely terrifying suction force.

—Crack, crack, crack!
The entire royal palace was trembling, and the floor, made entirely of metal, was also shaking. Twisting and bulging appeared on it, along with rapidly spreading erosion patterns and traces of melting.

Carpets, bricks, display stands, and other objects that were even slightly close to Him all began to swirl and rise into the sky.

Now, Luo Xiu finally understood why Dark Red's "Death Realm Intuition" had given him a serious injury warning when he was at the bottom of the Blood Cave and when he used "Saint's Decapitation" to sever that heart.

If Luo Xiu had not placed multiple layers of protection on himself and had directly touched Him, he would have been absorbed by His spirituality, and the dark flames would have burned him. Most of the "purification" holy arts he possessed would not have been able to truly remove them!
The authority of the "Divine Proclamation Seal" had already been used when he dispelled the "Devouring Dragon" from himself... Luo Xiu's mind raced.

at this time.

The dark, corrosive spirituality hidden within the abyss that emerged from the "crack" opened by Helmond, the "child of the dragon god," is becoming increasingly active.

That spiritual aura, unique to the "Devouring Dragon," must be the result of the infusion and transformation that the Devouring Dragon had given to Him, combined with the power He originally possessed, causing some kind of mutation.

Under Luo Xiu's gaze, everything that He had absorbed and flown to His side had its surface outlines clearly scorched by ghostly flames and quickly turned to ashes.

The deep flame was imbued with a very rich spirituality of "Dark Erosion," which even suppressed the spirituality of the [Radiance] emanating from Luo Xiu around it, and used it as excellent fuel for a full combustion.

Everything that remains after it has burned out—whether spiritual or material—will be absorbed by the "child of the dragon god" and become part of Him.

But just before Helmond is about to truly break free from the dragon's heart.

The Saint's Decapitation Sword that Luo Xiu held in his hands has been replaced by the Demon Sword and Scepter that are his main weapons.

--boom!!!!!

—Boom! B ...

While Helmond, the “child of the Dragon God,” was struggling, Luo Xiu had already unleashed a full round of Annihilation Spell at him.

Intermittently interspersed with the "ancient dragon's malevolent breath" and "ancient dragon's devouring strike," he also performed a new summoning incantation, summoning the "four-winged angel" Tadia to this place.

Also summoned was Amber, the "Creator of All Things"—

The two "Chaos Spirits" deities have been summoned and manifested, and together with the True Ancestor Demon on the other side—"Lord of the Dead" Sasser—they have surrounded Helmond.

The three Chaos Spirits and their "contract master" Luo Xiu launched a relentless bombardment against Hermond while Helmond was still being "born" from the heart of the dead dragon.

This is the crucial point of health depletion—although we don't know the exact amount of health Helmond, the "Child of the Dragon God," is in, he is certainly not at his peak, but rather at his weakest point.

This is the most crucial opportunity to unleash damage, one that will be hard to come by again. When the "Child of the Dragon God" breaks free from the heart of the dead dragon and is born, Luo Xiu will proceed to the next step.

"--roar!!!!!"

Helmond, the "child of the dragon god," seemed to feel immense pain from the bombardment he had suffered. His roar was so mournful, even like the lament of an infant—

From that enormous cocoon of the dead dragon's womb, the flesh, deeply corroded and necrotic, began to writhe violently with a mournful howl. A profound spirituality rapidly condensed on its surface into dark crystals, forming a sturdy armor that seemed to protect it.

Under the relentless bombardment, the profound spirituality emanating from "the Dragon God's Child," Helmond, was significantly suppressed.

It seemed that the spirit of [Radiance] had once again filled the surroundings, while the dark, eroded spirit was forced back into the cocoon of the dead dragon embryo and into Helmond's own dragon body.

But His aura remained strong and grew even stronger with His struggle, and His birth could not be suppressed by it.

Until a certain moment—

"Roar!!!!!"

He burst forth with a first roar, as loud as a newborn baby's cry, followed by a surge of heat like a tsunami, which violently pushed outwards from Him like an impenetrable wall!

An immense sense of oppression crashed down, accompanied by an extremely sharp explosion that even caused Luo Xiu's ears to ring briefly.
In his eyes, "Mourning Lord of the Dead" Sather and "Four-Winged Angel" Tadia were both demons and angels of the "Chaos Spirits." Their fragile figures were even blasted backward under the pressure of the terrifying shockwave!

But Luo Xiu remained standing, his eyes fixed on the "child of the dragon god," Helmond, and saw that Helmond had finally broken free of the dead dragon's heart and emerged with his tin-white dragon head!
It was a dragon head that was as translucent as breast meat and appeared extremely tender.

Indeed, it resembled a newborn dragon, even its scales, which should have been as hard as steel, were as soft as tender shoots, as if it truly were a young dragon.

But those dragon eyes—true eyes with a base color of red and gold, now shrouded in a layer of chaos—revealed a rather ancient light, full of divinity and oppressive power.

And He is the "Dragon that has undergone a metamorphosis"—

This information, obtained from Quesanx the Dragon of Justice, is about one of the three authoritative demigods.

According to Quesanx, Helmond, the "child of the dragon god," got his name because he is forever a "child."

Each time He is reborn, He will return to the state of a young dragon. His power will be weakened as a result, and can only gradually recover to its full strength over time, but he can use this to resist wear and tear, aging and corrosion.

Therefore, He is also the "Eternal Dragon"—the primordial dragon hopes that His successor will forever maintain the destiny of [authority], rather than having the destiny cut off due to His own decline and decay.

But the primordial dragon did not foresee that the ultimate shattering of [authority] would not stem from its erosion, corruption, and decay, but from the rebellion and god-slaying of the "High Heaven".

Neither the progenitor dragon nor the fate of [Authority] could witness Helmond's true growth.

Even though Helmond was dragged into the Abyss by the "Devouring Dragon" and completely corrupted by it, he still retains his "rebirth" characteristic.

And He has completed another "rebirth", and He is in the initial state of being newly born.

His power was indeed at a low point, but precisely because of this, when He truly broke free from the cocoon of the dead dragon embryo for a brief moment, three attributes finally became visible in Luo Xiu's analysis of His stats—

Those are "physical constitution", "perception" and "wisdom".

The specific values ​​of these three attributes are all above 3,000 points, with "Intelligence" being the lowest and "Perception" being the highest at 6,000 points.

And because of the manifestation of the key attribute "Constitution," Luo Xiu was also able to see His real-time health points—

The upper limit was over 2.4 million, but now it's less than 1 million. This shows that He is indeed quite weak after just completing a "rebirth," and compared to "Justice Dragon" Quesanx or "Devouring Dragon" Fafnir Ramzanx, His health is relatively low.

This shows that Helmond, the "child of the dragon god," is not a blood bull monster, which is actually beneficial to him.

Luo Xiu pondered these things.

And his gaze never left Him for a moment—

The moment Hermond, the "child of the dragon god," broke free from the swaddling clothes and shackles of the dead dragon's cocoon, his dragon eyes, filled with chaos and profound aura, fixed intently on Luo Xiu.

chi chi...

He slightly opened his equally tin-white pointed jaws, and the profound aura emanating from them made Luo Xiu subconsciously feel cold, even in the hall that was already a sea of ​​fire.

Its fledgling wings then slightly unfurled, its hostility completely locked onto Luo Xiu. Even in its dazed and confused state, it could still discern who posed the greatest threat to it and who was most suitable as its newborn food—

Buzz! ! ! ! !
A sharp buzzing sound, like a snapped string, resounded throughout the entire hall!

The heavy, black spiritual energy surged and burst forth from beneath His immature scales, quickly enveloping a large area around Him, spreading like a black tide to Luo Xiu's feet.

Luo Xiu did not move his feet, but just stared at Him, his left hand already reaching into his robe.

Contrary to his previous behavior, he began to chant in a low, eerie voice, and the spirituality emanating from him transformed from a holy and warm radiance into a deep and cold darkness.

On his forehead, twisted demonic horns, burning with dark fire, had also emerged.

—"The incarnation of a demon!"
At this moment, Luo Xiu, the "Holy Winged Envoy," suddenly reversed his aura, and under Helmond's bewildered gaze, he became a demon just like Him!
Luo Xiu has placed himself in such an abyss-like state.

And his left hand was finally taken out of his pocket.

In his left hand he held a dark book, equally imbued with an ancient and profound aura.

—That's the Abyss Codex!
Buzz! ! ! ! !
The dark, corrosive tide that emanated from Helmond and gradually spread to Luo Xiu's feet even stopped and retreated slightly.

The same... no, a deeper, more profound spiritual surge within Him, forcefully suppressed it!

The Archbishop who now appears before Helmond—

The demon he embodied was of a higher rank than the "Primordial Demon".

That terrifying, profound spiritual surge had already surpassed all other beings present.

—In Helmond's perception, Luo Xiu is now clearly a "Primordial Demon"!
