77: Conversation, next steps

"Calamity Descent" doesn't seem to offer a significant physical boost.

However, it greatly enhances energy.

Clarissa felt the powerful Calamity and Death energy emanating from Calamity Descent, but it wasn't her own power.

It seemed to be subtly transmitted from the void, from its main body (Calamity Wings).

So this move... is it actually borrowing power? Clarissa frowned slightly. If that's all it is, then the further along she gets, the less valuable this ability might become...

However, Clarissa trusted the system's power. She believed that once her bloodline level and the level of the Dragon Blood Warrior increased, this borrowed power would become greater and greater!

Eventually, it might not even be in the form of borrowed power... Clarissa thought to herself.

Austin watched as the power on Clarissa's body stabilized.

"Finished?!" Austin stretched his body. "That took a while! This isn't good for combat!"

"Hmph~ It's just because you were waiting, and it's my first time using it, so I just wanted to feel it out!" Clarissa said to Austin. "Come on! The battle has just begun!"

"Hahaha! No matter what, you're a friend I've made!" Austin grinned, his blood-red eyes looking at Clarissa excitedly.

Boom!

The two moved simultaneously with great tacit agreement.

The air behind them exploded.

Boom! Bang!

Their figures continuously collided in mid-air, separated, and then collided again.

Physical bodies clashing against physical bodies, energy contending against energy.

Terrifying energy fluctuations continuously erupted in the air.

Clarissa, with "Calamity Descent," experienced a massive energy amplification.

Especially the Calamity Death energy.

It directly overwhelmed Austin's magic in both quantity and quality.

This shows how powerful the amplification was.

The two weren't fighting to the death, so they didn't go for killing blows.

This battle lasted for nearly half an hour before it ended.

"Refreshing!" Austin laughed heartily. "Your strength has greatly increased my confidence in what's to come!"

"Indeed!" Carmen Roger flew over, looking at Clarissa and Austin, then at the utterly destroyed environment around them.

"Alright, if there's anything to say, let's all say it!" Clarissa said to Austin and Carmen Roger.

"Let's go! Find a quiet... Hmm~" Carmen Roger looked around. Well, it was certainly wide open after being destroyed like this, and truly quiet.

"Let's just talk here~" Austin landed on The Ground and found a relatively flat piece of rubble to sit on.

After some discussion, Clarissa finally understood the complex situation.

"So that's how it is... Then, everything I've done has been fighting against thin air?" Clarissa rubbed her chin. "It seems this so-called 'Salvation Alliance' was really hastily formed~ Haha~"

"The power of the Demon Gods is simply not something ordinary people can contend with. Even if the three empires united, they wouldn't be a match for a Demon God..." Carmen Roger shook his head and said.

Forget Demon Gods, even Austin, humans couldn't resist him.

As an Original Demon Lord, only a Primal God could contend with him!

In the absence of a Demon God's invasion, whether it was a Primal God or an Original Demon Lord, such beings were not something human power could contend with. Without corresponding strength, the so-called human wave tactics were nothing more than countless lambs to the slaughter!

Just like Clarissa, her current power, when fully unleashed, could instantly turn a city into ruins.

How could such power be resisted by so-called human wave tactics?

"According to what you said, where are those gods then...?" Clarissa frowned and said.

"That I don't know. Whether it's the Original Demon Gods or the Primal Gods, we usually don't have any interactions or contact." Austin shook his head and said, "Although we are opposites, this is a power opposition, and it doesn't mean we are inherently enemies. As Primal beings, we rely on this world. If anyone doesn't want the world to be destroyed, no one wants it less than us 'Primals'!"

"I see... That makes things difficult! If it's about sealing the Demon Gods... then what's their current situation? And where are the Demon Gods...? All of these need to be found! According to what you said, the Demon Gods' power is terrifying; I'm afraid the seal won't last long." Clarissa shook her head and said.

"Indeed! When I fought the Demon God that day, I suspect it didn't even use its full power..." Austin shook his head. Although he was eager for battle, he wasn't a fool. When he couldn't win at the time, he decisively admitted defeat, and the Demon God didn't go for a killing blow. He didn't know the reason, but instead, it extended an olive branch to him.

Austin then joined the Demon King Army and became an "undercover agent."

"I think... I might know where it is!" Carmen Roger suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?" Austin and Clarissa looked at Carmen Roger simultaneously.

Carmen Roger lowered the fan that was blocking his face, revealing a stitched-up mouth.

His eyes slowly opened, revealing pupils that were black on the outermost edge, then a circle of gold, and then a circle of silver.

"I can find the whereabouts of the Demon God, but for such a being, my consumption will be immense. I might... not be able to help you in battle then..." Carmen Roger said. As he spoke, his mouth didn't even move. Was it ventriloquism?

"Thank you! Just find it! Leave the rest to us!" Austin nodded and said to Carmen Roger.

"Don't we need to make any more preparations? Just the few of us?" Clarissa frowned slightly and said.

If Austin's account was true, the Demon God defeated Austin without even using its full power. If it used its full power... was Austin sure that the two of them could defeat the Demon God?

"We can only fight to the death! You are our last chance! Originally... if you hadn't appeared... we might have been forced to do this soon anyway! Otherwise, if the Demon God appears... the world will be completely beyond salvation!" Austin said with a frown. "Even if we die fighting, we'll at least take a piece of it with us!"

"Oh, right! There's one more question..." Clarissa suddenly remembered something and mentioned the destruction of the Lila Empire.

"Was it done by your Demon King Army?" Clarissa asked.

"Not the Demon King Army..." Austin and Carmen Roger immediately frowned, realizing that this matter was not so simple, and not just a problem with the Demon God!

"Sigh! This matter needs to be discussed at length..." Clarissa glanced at Carmen Roger's mouth. "Sorry~ But... this matter is of great importance!"

"Indeed, these monsters should be investigated... I'll do it! The power consumption shouldn't be too great!" Carmen Roger nodded, and his pupils lit up with a mix of gold and silver light.

"Found it..."
