Chapter 429: a.r.s.ehole?
The appearance of Julia, Benia, and Ca.s.sandra did not attract Urizen’s attention. His attention was always on Roy.
“Where do you come from?” Urizen asked Roy while feeling the surging power in his body. “There are no demons like you in the Demon World!”
At this time, Roy had already heard Sareth roughly explain what had happened and knew Urizen’s true ident.i.ty, so he was sizing him up and looking at V, who was being supported by Nero in the distance. He found it very interesting. After hearing Urizen’s question, Roy laughed. “Demon World? Do you really think that demons were born in the so-called Demon World?
“Let me tell you!” Roy looked down at his demon claws. “The true source of demons is the Abyss, the bottomless Abyss. There are many powerful demons there, and there are at least a hundred demon lords like you and me. And above demon lords, there are stronger demon king-level demons, so your so-called demon king t.i.tle is actually just the self-aggrandizing of a frog at the bottom of a well. To me, it’s just a joke…”
“Demon king? Like Mundus?” Dante suddenly asked before Urizen could answer.
Roy grinned and looked at Dante. “Perhaps. Who knows…”
“Enough! Shut up!” Urizen roared and strode toward Roy. “Whether it is the Demon World or the Abyss, only I can be the strongest! After I kill you and take away your power, I can become a true demon king!”
With that, Urizen suddenly accelerated, jumped at Roy’s head, and punched him.
Seeing the two demon lords fighting, Julia and the others immediately flew away. So did Dante. He immediately spread his wings and flew up.
Dante knew that Urizen’s true ident.i.ty was his brother, Vergil. And Vergil had always been obsessed with defeating Dante. Originally, the final battle should have been between Dante and Urizen. But after Sareth’s foster father descended, Urizen’s attention was immediately focused on him. Before the outcome of the battle between Urizen and Roy came out, Dante was unable to intervene for the time being.
Urizen’s fist emitted a loud bang, but it failed to hit Roy. Before his fist landed on the ground, the unparalleled force of his fist blasted an enormous pit on the ground, and countless rubble flew into the air. Urizen roared as he adjusted his direction and rushed toward Roy in the air. At the same time, he waved his palm and shot dozens of gigantic fireb.a.l.l.s at Roy.
Roy flew upward while agilely shuttled through the gaps of these blazing fireb.a.l.l.s. After dodging most of the fireb.a.l.l.s, Roy suddenly condensed a black frost spear in his hand and hurled it at the last fireball.
The frost spear hit the fireball, and the collision between high and low temperatures instantly caused a huge explosion. The gigantic shock wave blocked Urizen, who was rus.h.i.+ng forward.
Taking advantage of this moment, Roy opened his mouth and shot out a black lightning ball. It struck Urizen like a pillar of light.
Urizen was extremely reckless. Not only did he not dodge Roy’s lightning ball, but he instead clenched his fist and slammed the back of his fist against the lightning ball. The moment his fist hit the lightning ball, there was a loud sizzling sound as the lightning ball exploded. Its volume suddenly expanded countless times, forming a ma.s.sive lightning barrier that enveloped a radius of nearly a hundred meters.
Even with Urizen’s powerful physique, he could not help but scream. How could Roy’s Dark Lightning be so easy to deal with? Not only would this lightning cause immense damage to the body, but it also dealt extraordinary damage to the soul. Urizen’s soul was incomplete, and this attack made him feel excruciating pain.
Fortunately, the exploded lightning ball had also produced a tremendous knockback force. Urizen was sent flying with a bang and smashed onto the ground, leaving countless cracks on the hard ground.
Roy shook his head, feeling that Urizen, this demon lord, really did not live up to the name. Although he had extracted a large number of demon souls through the Qliphoth to supplement himself and obtained formidable magic power, this guy was still attacking in melee. If this was not stupid, then what was?
He was a demon without wings, so his mobility was not as good as others who had wings. If Roy were in Urizen’s shoes, he would have definitely used s.p.a.ce magic to move around while continuously launching long-range magic attacks.
In order to make Urizen realize his mistake, Roy decided to teach him what a mage cannon was!
He extended an arm, and at the same time, the three pairs of demon wings on his back stretched out. The wings glowed with magic power while Roy floated in the air. Numerous black lightning b.a.l.l.s appeared beside him. Roy pointed, and these sizzling and dangerous b.a.l.l.s of light immediately turned into straight black beams of light that shot down at Urizen.
The moment they landed, the lightning b.a.l.l.s exploded one after another, s.h.i.+ning with dazzling light as they engulfed Urizen.
This powerful magic power bombardment lasted for about ten seconds before suddenly changing into dense and sharp icicles. These icicles whistled down from the sky and smashed toward the ground with rumbling sounds.
Urizen crossed his arms above his head, and a magic power s.h.i.+eld protected him, allowing him to strenuously withstand the magic bombardment. However, he could block the top of his head but not the bottom of his feet. A rock spike burst through the ground under Urizen, hit his magic s.h.i.+eld, and sent him flying into the air.
The moment he was knocked into the air, thousands of dense wind blades appeared in the next second. These wind blades cut into Urizen’s s.h.i.+eld from all angles and directly shattered it. Next was the scene of a meat grinder with blood splattering everywhere!
At first, Urizen angrily roared again and again, but then it turned into screams of pain. But at this moment, the countless wind blades suddenly disappeared and turned into a giant tornado that connected the clouds and the ground. It sucked Urizen into it and sent him flying up and down in the sky.
In the tornado, the dizzy Urizen suddenly saw a ray of light coming from the dark clouds above, and his eyes widened in shock!
A meteorite with a long flame tail broke through the dark clouds like a comet and smashed toward Urizen in the tornado. Seeing that he was about to be hit by the meteorite, Urizen hurriedly struggled to use s.p.a.ce magic to flash out of the tornado. But unexpectedly, Roy suddenly stretched out his hand toward him from afar and sealed the s.p.a.ce around him.
Urizen’s idea of escaping failed, and his vision was already full of the flames burning on the surface of the meteorite…
“No!!!” Urizen let out a helpless roar as the meteorite crashed into him and slammed toward the ground!
An intense flash of light filled the sky. The moment the meteorite landed, immense energy and light erupted. The ground trembled in pain, and all of Red Grave City welcomed an earthquake that was like an apocalyptic catastrophe. The intact buildings in the periphery of the city were torn apart in the earthquake, turning into debris and collapsing.
In the sky, Dante was holding Nero in one hand and V in the other. The three of them stared at the scene in front of them with their mouths agape. After the one on the top of the tree, a mushroom cloud appeared once again, rising slowly in the dust…
No one would have thought that Urizen, who had beaten Dante and the others miserably earlier, was now being beaten like a sandbag in the hands of this demon lord named Osiris! The series of consecutive magic attacks just now had crushed Urizen from beginning to end, and he did not even have the chance to fight back…
At this moment, Nero looked at the Red Queen behind him, then at the gun at his waist. All along, he had fought with swords most of the time, and most of his long-range attacks relied on the magic power guns in his hands. But when he saw Demon Osiris’s string of continuous long-range magic bombardments, Nero suddenly felt that the gun in his hand… was not so good anymore!
“Is this how the demons of the Abyss fight?” Dante was a little nervous.
To be honest, both Dante and Vergil had learned the fighting style of their father, Sparda, since they were young. Sparda was known as a magic swordsman, so he naturally mainly used the sword with magic supplementing. Roy’s battle just now had shown them a completely new fighting style and had subverted Dante’s views.
“Why is there such a huge difference between Urizen and Osiris even though they’re both demon lords?” V asked in puzzlement.
How could they know that, let alone the demon lords of this world, even among the demon lords of the Abyss, Roy’s combat strength could not be judged by common sense. In terms of the amount of magic power alone, there were many demon lords stronger than him. But when combined with his strange skills, even some senior demon lords might not necessarily be able to defeat him.
Roy had already converted the more than ten million souls he had brought back from the world of Ashan into his combat strength. Under such circ.u.mstances, Roy did not even need to use all his strength to beat a countryside demon lord like Urizen…
“The battle seems to have ended. Should we go down?” Nero asked.
Red Grave City was over; the entire city had been reduced to ruins. Fortunately, when Urizen first appeared, the survivors had basically escaped, so there were not many casualties even though the city was destroyed. This was the only place that relieved Dante and the others.
Seeing that Roy had landed, Dante was hesitating about whether to go down when a tremendous force suddenly came from afar and pulled V out from his right hand.
“V!” Dante was shocked and quickly swooped down, only to see that V had already fallen into Roy’s palm.
Roy used Psychokinesis to levitate V in front of him and looked him up and down. Although V was currently fine, he was extremely nervous. When he saw Osiris up close, he realized that this demon lord was so tall.
“What… do you want to do?” V asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice.
“Don’t worry!” Roy grinned at V with a sinister smile. “I heard from Sareth that you’re the human side separated from Vergil?”
“That’s right…” V nodded.
“Then go!” Roy pushed him gently toward Urizen. “I’ve heavily injured this guy, and he can’t move anymore. Go kill him and take back your power!”
V was stunned and could not immediately react.
At this moment, Dante had already flown over with Nero. He heard Roy’s words and could not help but ask, “W-what do you want to do?”
“What do I want to do?” Roy turned to look at Dante and smiled. “It’s nothing. I just want to borrow Yamato. Yamato is in Urizen’s body, but I don’t know how to get it out, so I want to get Vergil to give it to me personally. Of course, there’s also you, Dante. I want to borrow your Rebellion!”
“You know me?” Dante was very surprised.
“Hmph. The name Sparda is also widely spread among the demons of the Abyss!” Roy said. “So is it strange that I know your name?”
“I don’t know what you want to do with Yamato and Rebellion, but unfortunately…” Dante raised the ‘Demon Sword Dante’ in his hand. “Now that Rebellion is gone, there’s only this sword. Moreover… it’s not something you can borrow as you wish.”
“It’s all the same!” Roy waved his hand casually and said with a faint smile, “Don’t be hostile to me. Believe me, you don’t want to become my enemy… On account of you having taken care of Sareth, I won’t do anything to your world, but likewise, don’t reject me!”
“… All right…” Dante was silent for a while before landing on the ground. He changed from the Sin Devil form back to his human form.
Roy was stunned when he saw Dante’s weathered face and shouted, “Arthas?! a.r.s.ehole?”
“Huh? What?” Dante was dumbfounded and did not understand.
“It’s nothing. I’m mistaken!” Roy did not explain further, but he thought to himself, d.a.m.n, I didn’t expect Dante in this world to be at this age. He used to be so handsome, but I feel like he’s become old and disabled. He’s become so similar to Arthas in my impression. This is f*cking ridiculous…
“O-Osiris, what do you want Yamato and Rebellion for?” Dante could not help but ask out of curiosity.
Roy said something that dumbfounded Dante again.
“I just want to use them to find your father, Sparda!”
