Nidhogg roared, its massive dragon body charging towards the group once more. Its aura grew increasingly violent, each attack carrying destructive power, as if the entire altar would collapse.

The final battle began with the roar of the Dragon King Nidhogg.

Nidhogg's body was enveloped in a deep crimson light. With each movement, an unbearable pressure filled the air, as if the entire world was bowing down to its arrival. Its massive dragon wings flapped violently, whipping up a raging gale that shattered the surrounding ruins. Flames mixed with dragon breath erupted, transforming the entire altar into a fiery inferno.

Chu Zihang gripped the Dragon Cutter tightly, his gaze icy yet resolute, his steps as steady as a rock. He raised the blade once more, its emerald light like a leaping dragon, aimed directly at Nidhogg's chest. His target was clear: the Dragon King's core, his only possible weakness.

Nidhogg sensed his intention, let out a low growl, and its massive dragon claws crushed down like mountains. Chu Zihang did not retreat; his body leaped up like a streak of emerald lightning, his blade flashing as it clashed with the dragon claws' thick scales, sparking dazzling sparks.

With a loud bang, Chu Zihang was thrown backward, his footsteps leaving deep marks on the ground. He steadied himself, his chest heaving, but his gaze remained unwavering.

“This guy’s scales are as hard as steel!” Caesar swung his rune sword on the other side, his attacks precisely hitting Nidhogg’s flank, but every strike was blocked by the impenetrable defense. He gritted his teeth and growled, “Chu Zihang, if your blade isn’t sharp enough, we really won’t be able to do anything!”

“Its power is still growing!” Tian stood at a distance, his rune gun firing incessantly, but the energy beams only sparked a few times when they touched Nidhogg's scales, failing to budge it in the slightest. His voice held a hint of anxiety: “The longer we drag this out, the stronger it becomes!”

"Then let's not delay any longer!" Chu Zihang shouted coldly and charged forward again. His blade light became increasingly fierce, each strike carrying a bluish-green glow, like lightning in a storm, constantly approaching the core of Nidhogg.

Nidhogg clearly sensed the threat as well. Its tail swept out with devastating force, forcing Chu Zihang to roll backward to avoid it. At the same time, Nidhogg opened its massive maw and unleashed a scorching dragon breath, hurtling towards Caesar's location.

"Damn it!" Caesar yelled, his rune sword flashing blue light as he cleaved the dragon's breath in two. But the scorching heat still sent him flying back several meters, the ground beneath his feet glowing red-hot.

"Lu Mingfei, are you still spacing out?!" Tian's voice carried a hint of anger as he fired to cover his teammates while turning to look at Lu Mingfei, who was standing some distance away.

Lu Mingfei gripped the dagger tightly, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He stared at Nidhogg's massive figure, his heart filled with fear and helplessness. He wanted to rush forward, but his legs felt like lead, unable to move.

"Lu Mingfei!" Tian shouted again, "If you don't move, we'll all die here!"

Lu Mingfei shuddered. He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and gripped the short knife even tighter. He forced himself to take the first step, then the second, and finally charged towards the battlefield with all his might.

Nidhogg noticed his movement, its massive dragon head turning towards Lu Mingfei, a hint of contempt flashing in its deep red eyes. It raised its claws, charging straight at Lu Mingfei with destructive force.

"Lu Mingfei, be careful!" Caesar's voice rang out from afar.

Lu Mingfei's mind went blank. Almost instinctively, he rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the dragon's claw attack. However, the huge shockwave still knocked him to the ground, slamming him heavily against a stone pillar.

"Ah!" Lu Mingfei cried out in pain, feeling as if all the bones in his body had shattered, but he still forced himself to get up. His eyes held a stubborn glint as he gasped, "No matter what, I can't hold anyone back anymore!"

Seizing the opportunity, Chu Zihang leaped onto Nidhogg's wing. His blade flashed across the dark scales, finally creating a tiny crack. Nidhogg roared in fury, its body trembling violently, sending Chu Zihang flying.

Caesar launched a surprise attack from the other side, his rune sword aimed directly at the crack. However, Nidhogg's dragon tail swept across, blocking Caesar's attack and unleashing a violent dragon breath that completely suppressed the rune spear in the sky.

"Its defenses have finally shown a weakness!" Tian shouted. "Concentrate your firepower on that crack!"

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth, raised the short knife, and trembled as he held it towards Nidhogg. His body was shaking, but his eyes held a resolute glint. He took a deep breath and hurled the short knife with all his might toward the crack in Nidhogg.

The dagger transformed into a faint beam of light, piercing precisely into the crack before everyone's eyes.

Nidhogg's roar instantly became even more shrill, its movements faltered, and a flash of pain crossed its deep red eyes. The scales at the crack began to shatter, revealing the dazzling energy emanating from the Dragon King's core.

"Now!" Chu Zihang roared, gripping the Dragon Cutter tightly, and charged at Nidhogg once more, preparing to unleash the final, fatal blow!

Chu Zihang's figure streaked across the air like a streak of emerald lightning, hurtling straight towards Nidhogg's core. The Dragon Cutter's light shone even brighter, as if it had gathered all its power. Scales peeled away from the crack, revealing a core that resembled a blazing sun, radiating scorching light and an aura of destruction.

Nidhogg struggled and roared, its massive claws slamming down in an attempt to block Chu Zihang's attack. However, Chu Zihang's movements were too fast to predict; his figure flashed past, his blade slashing directly at the side of the dragon's claw, sparks flying.

Caesar charged forward from the other side, his runeblade unleashing a streak of blazing blue lightning that struck Nidhogg's wing. The lightning struck its target, triggering a violent explosion that tore a section of the dragon's wing apart. Nidhogg roared in pain, its massive body swaying violently from the damage to its wing.

"Lu Mingfei, well done!" Caesar shouted, and at the same time swung his sword again, launching a frenzied attack on Nidhogg.

Hearing Caesar's praise, Lu Mingfei, though still panicked, nodded vigorously. Trembling, he grabbed a stone from the ground and desperately threw it at Nidhogg's head. Although it had no actual killing power, it attracted its attention.

"Lu Mingfei, keep holding it off!" Tian shouted as he fired, the rune gun beams accurately aimed at the exposed cracks in Nidhogg. Although the power was not enough to kill, it created more opportunities for Chu Zihang.

Seizing the moment Nidhogg was distracted, Chu Zihang exerted his strength again, leaping onto the Dragon King's back. He raised the Dragon Cutter high, its emerald light condensing to its peak, transforming into a sharp blade that cleaved straight at Nidhogg's core.

"Prepare to die!" Chu Zihang shouted, and the blade plunged fiercely into the core of the Dragon King.

Nidhogg's roar was deafening, and the entire altar shook violently as it struggled. It suddenly raised its body, its dragon wings flapping frantically, trying to shake Chu Zihang off. However, Chu Zihang gripped the hilt of his sword tightly; as the blade penetrated deep into the core, he felt a powerful backlash.

"Its power is resisting!" Chu Zihang gritted his teeth, the green light surging on the blade. He could feel Xia Mi's power resisting the Dragon King's will with all its might, but the force of resistance was so strong that it almost crushed him.

"Hold on!" Caesar leaped onto Nidhogg's tail, his rune sword plunging deep into the dragon's body. He used all his strength to hold his position while launching a barrage of thunderous attacks.

Tian continued to use the rune gun for cover, concentrating the beams on Nidhogg's wings and head, making its movements even slower.

"I'll help you!" Lu Mingfei shouted as he rushed forward, a trembling metal spear he picked up thrusting towards Nidhogg's hind leg. Though his movements were clumsy, he managed to slash a shallow wound into Nidhogg's massive body.

"That's right, Lu Mingfei!" Caesar laughed loudly, and the rune sword slashed down again.

As the Dragon Cleaver pierced deeper into the core, Nidhogg's movements began to stiffen. The core light at the crack grew brighter and brighter, as if it might explode at any moment.

"Quick! Go all out!" Tian shouted, and the energy of the rune gun was fully activated. The blue beam of light turned into a rainbow and struck Nidhogg's chest.

Chu Zihang took a deep breath, concentrating all his power into the Dragon Cutter. A glint of emerald light flashed in his pupils, the final echo of Xia Mi's power. He let out a low roar, using all his strength to pierce the Dragon Cutter completely into its core.

"boom!"

The core finally collapsed, and a dazzling light erupted from Nidhogg's body, instantly engulfing the entire altar. Destructive energy fluctuations filled the surrounding air, as if the entire world was trembling at this moment.
