Chapter 310 The Demon Sovereign Descends
Covered in dust, Xeron got up from the ground.
Raelag’s fire magic did little damage to him, but the power generated from the explosion still made him feel a little pain, so what followed was anger.
“d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n it!” Xeron cursed. Only then did he realize that he should not have blocked the fireball at all because Agrael just wanted to save Isabel. Just like him, he did not want Isabel to be injured, so even if he had not blocked it, maybe that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Agrael would have forcibly withdrawn his magic power midway and caused a magic power backlash. In that case, let alone rescuing Isabel, even Agrael would have died here!
However, he had not thought of this in his hurry, so Agrael had succeeded…
And the person angrier than him was Kha-Beleth!
“Xeron!!!” Kha-Beleth’s roar resounded in the secret room. “Chase after him immediately! If you can’t bring Isabel back, don’t ever come back!!”
“Yes, Sovereign Kha-Beleth!” Xeron replied solemnly.
With that, he went straight to the corridor and returned to his hall through the teleportation formation. When he rushed out of the door, he saw Agrael in the distance.
With a whoosh, two pairs of wide demon wings spread out from his cloak. He flew into the air and rushed after Agrael.
Agrael, or Raelag, was currently running desperately while holding the unconscious Isabel. He was carrying a woman with a big belly, so it was evident that his mobility was not high. But when he rushed out of the hall, he had already urgently contacted the a.s.sa.s.sins he brought. Xeron looked ferocious as he charged at Raelag from behind, but several figures suddenly emerged in the air and fearlessly stabbed at Xeron with sharp blades.
These dark eleven a.s.sa.s.sins intercepted Xeron, but they could not stop him for long. In his anger, Xeron grabbed them and ripped them in half!
Using this short opportunity, Raelag cast a spell on himself: Fly!
This high-level air magic allowed him to obtain the ability to fly for a short time. Then he embraced Isabel and flew toward the city wall.
“Stop him!!” Xeron roared after killing the last dark elven a.s.sa.s.sin. After hearing Xeron’s roar, some nearby demons who had noticed the commotion immediately charged toward Raelag. A few succubi spread their wings and flew up, and the flame whips in their hands swung at him, wanting to pull him down. But he suddenly moved in the air, causing the succubi’s whips to miss.
Even so, more and more demons appeared. They spread their wings and flew toward Raelag, and Xeron pursued closely behind.
When Raelag saw that it was becoming more and more dangerous, the sweat on his forehead was pouring out. Surrounded by numerous demons, he could not find anyone to help him at all, so he could only continuously change directions in midair while hugging Isabel to avoid the attacks of the demons.
A mistake was naturally inevitable in the chaos. After he dodged for a while, a fire chain shot from behind and hit him, burning his back and causing him to stop for a moment. Then a long-horned demon jumped up from the ground, hugged his legs, and used his immense weight to pull him down from the air!
“It’s over!” Sensing that he was falling from the sky, Raelag felt disheartened. He looked down at Isabel in his arms and knew that he was probably going to die. But at this moment, a powerful dragon breath suddenly shot down from the sky, burning all the demons below him. As a result, when the long-horned demon dragged him down, the nearby demons were unable to capture him.
Seeing this, Raelag became invigorated and kicked the long-horned demon away. Then hugging Isabel, he jumped into the air!
As expected, an enormous gold dragon was flying over the city. The man and dragon cooperated well. Raelag landed on the gold dragon’s back. After meeting up with him, the gold dragon immediately turned and flew out of the city! Raelag thought that he could finally get out of danger, but before he could heave a sigh of relief, a gigantic flame pillar suddenly appeared out of thin air. Xeron actually carried out a flame teleportation in the air and flashed to the gold dragon’s neck. Then he raised his sword and slashed the gold dragon’s neck!
Roar! The gold dragon howled. Xeron’s sword was so fierce that it directly cut through most of its neck, leaving only a small bit of flesh still attached!
After suffering such a severe injury, the gold dragon immediately fell from the sky. But it still remembered its mission and flapped its wings with all its might, trying its best to approach the alliance army camp while falling.
With a loud bang, the gold dragon crashed into the ground, smas.h.i.+ng a huge pit and causing the soil to fly.
Raelag was unable to worry about the gold dragon’s injuries. The moment he landed, he quickly jumped off the gold dragon’s back. Fortunately, the gold dragon’s last efforts were not useless. The final landing point was on the battlefield outside the city.
Gem and the others were sharp-eyed and had seen Raelag long ago. Gem had specially sent that gold dragon to help him. Now that they saw him carrying a person onto the battlefield, they immediately attacked to support him.
Xeron, who had killed the gold dragon, wanted to take advantage of the victory to kill Raelag and s.n.a.t.c.h Isabel back. But Gem and the others attacked one after another, attacking him with all kinds of magic. He roared in anger, but he had no time to intercept and kill Raelag.
Raelag finally rescued Isabel as he had wished and met up with Gem and the others. Gem and Zehir looked at the woman in Raelag’s arms and immediately recognized her as Queen Isabel. Looking at her bulging stomach, they finally entirely believed his words.
“Take her and leave first. We’ll hold back Xeron!” Zehir shouted at Raelag. “Save her first!”
“Got it!” Raelag ran with everything he had without stopping, pa.s.sing by the alliance army.
Because the previous situation was so critical, Raelag had been thinking about how to escape, so at this time, he actually forgot to tell Gem and the others something.
Not only was Xeron in Ur-Hekal but also… Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth!
With the alliance army, Gem and the others had already changed their target and attacked Xeron with all their might, attempting to stop Xeron’s pursuit of Raelag and win some time for him to escape. In the beginning, they had indeed succeeded and stopped Xeron’s advance.
Xeron endured all kinds of magic attacks but could not advance at all. He roared angrily. Kha-Beleth had told him before that if he could not retrieve Isabel, he would die!
Seeing Raelag getting farther and farther away, he thought of Kha-Beleth’s punishment methods and became anxious.
On the other hand, Gem and the others looked happy. They felt that this plan was stable. They would fight and retreat at the same time, and they would be able to complete the strategic goal.
But at this moment, a strong earthquake suddenly came throughout the entire battlefield of Ur-Hekal!
The ground was trembling! Booming! Be it the demons or the alliance army, they were all standing unsteadily and falling in this violent earthquake.
Gem, Zehir, and the others used their weapons to support themselves, but the sudden earthquake made them feel extremely uneasy. “All of you are going to die here!!” Xeron’s eyes were red, and he gnashed his teeth as he roared at Gem and the others from afar. “Cry, for your actions have brought a true demon lord here!!”
Before Gem and the others could react, an immense and vast magic power pressure appeared along with the violent earthquake and instantly swept the entire battlefield!
The low-level demons on the battlefield were s.h.i.+vering in fright, and all of them laid on the ground. Although the high-level demons did not find it as unbearable as the low-level demons, they also stopped and lowered their heads in fear.
The soldiers of the alliance army felt deep, bone-chilling malice! Some people with weak willpower could not help but feel a tremendous sense of fear when the formidable magic power pressure swept over. Under the pressure of this fear, many people directly lost control of their bladders as they looked at the city with trembling legs. Finally, in everyone’s eyes, a tall figure standing in raging flames appeared…
Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth’s true body had descended…
