Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 121 The Demise of the Blood Ancestor

The magical clash had completely worn away the gold paint on Agred's bones, and cracks of varying sizes had appeared on them. Dracula, on the other hand, was unharmed. However, the Blood Ancestor's magic power should be almost depleted, and without blood magic, the Blood Ancestor would inevitably lose. But the Western Swamp was their territory, and Agred couldn't afford to drag it out. Dracula, already at his limit, also didn't intend to prolong the battle. So, both sides were now calculating how to end the war quickly.

Just then, Agreed appeared behind Dracula, and at the same time, the Supreme Sword appeared in Agreed's hand and slashed at Dracula. But before the Supreme Sword could even touch Dracula, he instantly turned into a pool of blood and collapsed to the ground.

Agreed looked towards the other side in astonishment. At that moment, Dracula was also piercing Agreed's stand-in with his blood spear and looking at him with a bewildered expression. At that moment, the two of them, with perfect understanding and even speaking in unison, cursed angrily: "You old bastard!"

To be honest, judging from their dirty tricks and fighting styles, they could have become good friends if there were no conflict of interest. Unfortunately, their identities and needs destined them to be mortal enemies.

Seeing that neither side's sneak attacks had succeeded, Agreed and Dracula charged forward again. Dracula instantly cast the shadow magic 'Shadow Tear' that he had learned on his own. His shadow turned into deadly tentacles that restrained Agreed from behind. Then, the shadow tentacles that controlled Agreed's limbs began to exert their strength, preparing to tear Agreed to pieces.

As a skeleton undead with weak strength, Agred was immediately restrained by the shadow tentacles. If this move had succeeded, his body would have been destroyed and left to be slaughtered. Fortunately, Agred had cast the spells 'Great Strength Amplification' and 'Substitute Evasion' on himself beforehand. The two were activated at the critical moment. Great Strength Amplification prevented him from being torn apart instantly, while Substitute Evasion saved him.

However, as Agreed escaped, Dracula had already arrived. Dracula then revealed his true form: he had bat wings on his back, was three meters tall, had pointed ears and fangs, and was exceptionally strong.

At this moment, Agreed immediately cast sixteen eighth-tier spells that could amplify each other, but unfortunately, Dracula was even faster than before in this state, and the spells only hit his afterimage. At the same time, Agreed's chest was shattered by Dracula, and the crystal ball containing the soul fire was completely exposed to Dracula.

But just when Dracula thought he was about to win, Agreed roared, "You've lost! Forbidden spell 'Absolute Freeze'!!"

At this critical moment, Agreed exhausted his soul to unleash this crucial killing magic. In an instant, the temperature within a radius of 100 meters suddenly dropped to around minus 200 degrees Celsius (not absolute zero). Dracula and everything around him were directly frozen into ice sculptures and lost their vital signs. Two minutes later, Agreed collected all his bones and used magic to piece them back together to restore his body.

Then Agreed walked up to the frozen Dracula, pressed his skeletal hand on Dracula's cold head, and said softly, "I have long coveted your power, great Blood Ancestor. Your unique magic system and your profound wisdom are invaluable treasures that I desperately need to fill the gaps in my knowledge. Thank you for your gift. I have learned a lot from this battle."

After saying this, Agreed activated his soul-searching magic, and Dracula's soul was instantly invaded and devoured by Agreed. In the end, Dracula died completely, and Agreed casually smashed his corpse into pieces.

But with Dracula's death, his body turned into a scarlet liquid that eventually coalesced into a single drop of pure blood radiating terrifying power.

Then, as if he had expected it, Agreed put away the drop of blood. After that, Agreed stood still and began to chant. Five minutes later, Agreed released the new forbidden magic spell he had learned, 'Dark Domain'. At this moment, a hundred-meter radius around Agreed was shrouded in boundless darkness. Any life that entered the domain would be tortured to death by the pure dark power within.

After ensuring his own safety, Agreed resumed his Bone Forging Technique training. Meanwhile, all the creatures in the Western Swamp began to evacuate from the swamp, as the forbidden spell 'Absolute Freeze' was spreading and freezing the entire swamp. For many creatures in the swamp, even a temperature of minus thirty degrees Celsius would be fatal.

The moment Dracula died, all the vampires sensed his passing. At that moment, they all came to the same conclusion: Run! Run as fast as possible!

After all, they weren't Dracula. Without enough power to fight the enemy, staying here was just asking for trouble. In order to survive, all the vampires withdrew from the Western Swamp immediately, and thus this land completely fell into Agred's hands.

Fifteen days later

The western swamp has undergone tremendous changes. The temperature has warmed up, the dark clouds that have shrouded the area for years have completely dissipated, and the sun has begun to shine on this land that seemed to have been forgotten by life. Trees have begun to sprout new buds, and the land has begun to regain its vitality. However, this is not good news for the native inhabitants of the area.

Because the Western Swamp was originally a place where ghosts and monsters gathered, and ghosts and monsters hated or even feared sunlight, the Western Swamp was a paradise for eerie life. Now, Agred's actions are tantamount to invasion and slaughter. Countless ghouls, zombies, undead and other creatures have died here. In every place where the sun shines, you can see the innocent lives that have been lost.

At this moment, the huge black sphere in the center of the swamp gradually dissipated, and then a terrifying skeleton covered in black appeared in the sunlight. Agred had successfully stepped into the Black Bone Realm!

To this end, he directly destroyed the western swamp, turning it into a fertile and comfortable land for humans. This was a good thing for natural life, but it was a catastrophe for those evil creatures because it meant they had lost their only paradise.

However, Agreed didn't care. Killing had become a very common thing in his life. Morality and kindness were luxuries that only the strong deserved, luxuries that the weak created to beg the strong for what they could not get!

Looking at the swamp before him, Agreed murmured, "At least this place can become a new paradise." With that thought, Agreed activated his nature magic, and plants sprouted up on the land like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. After doing all this, Agreed settled here and began to carefully manage and improve the environment, hoping to make the place lively again.

Agreed didn't know why he was doing these things; perhaps it was just out of guilt and boredom.

Fate can be incredibly unpredictable. Who could have imagined that the Western Swamp would become the birthplace of the Agred's power, and that the nascent empire that would shake the entire multiverse would begin to emerge here?
