When Julia and Benia were beating up the Eredar Twins, they didn’t think too much about it and just wanted to vent their anger. But when Kil’jaeden’s guards were ordered to capture them, they immediately realized that something was wrong.
In particular, Benia was a succubus. When she was in the world of Ashan, she had seen the schemes and conspiracies between demons, so she immediately realized that the provocation of the Eredar Twins was premeditated. Their goal was most likely to target Roy, who was behind them. In this case, they naturally couldn’t show weakness, so she immediately communicated with Julia and killed Kil’jaeden’s guards.
Even though they beat up the Eredar Twins fiercely, Julia and Benia were still very restrained and knew their limits. But now that they began to fight without holding back, the situation was different.
Under the intense battle, the storm of h.e.l.lfire and destruction flames directly burned the newly renovated city of Oronaar. These two flames were completely different from fel flames. With the color of black and dark gold, they ignited inextinguishable fires across the entire city. Numerous unlucky low-level demons were implicated by the flames. Screaming, they were burned into ashes and ran back to the Twisting Nether to resurrect. Hundreds of the doomlords sent by Kil’jaeden were also burned to death in the flames, and the rest could only escape frantically.
Although some of the guards who came to capture them had escaped, Julia and Benia knew that this matter wasn’t over yet, so they didn’t leave. They simply stayed in Oronaar and waited for Kil’jaeden to arrive.
With the Fusion skill in hand, Julia and Benia were not afraid of Kil’jaeden. Although they knew how powerful a true demon king like Kil’jaeden was, they knew that Roy would definitely receive the news and rush over.
However, what Julia and Benia didn’t expect was that Archidemonde would showf up before Kil’jaeden.
Archimonde had no hand in this provocation. Kil’jaeden had not discussed the matter about Roy with him. He only appeared here because he was nearby and saw the fires burning in Oronaar from thousands of kilometers away. The soaring flames and high temperatures were distorting the clouds and scenery in the sky above the city.
Since he knew that something had happened, he naturally rushed over to take a look. But when he saw Oronaar burned into ruins, he was furious.
Oronaar was originally an eredar city, but it had just been renovated not long ago. It had changed from the previous eredar style to a dark demon style. Archimonde had been in charge of the city’s renovation. Now that he saw his hard work being burned down, how could he not be angry? When he saw Julia and Benia on guard in the city, he guessed that they might be the culprits, so he decided to capture them personally without even thinking.
However, this fellow’s old habit acted up again. After discovering that Julia and Benia were demon lords, he underestimated his enemy. When he stretched out his hand to grab Julia and Benia, Julia and Benia directly completed the fusion. The moment the angelic demon Junia appeared, she flew away from his palm. At the same time, she turned into a stream of light and kicked Archimonde’s face.
Archimonde didn’t expect that the two demon lords would suddenly turn into a completely different-looking female demon. He was stunned for a moment and allowed the kick to strike him. Moreover, this unfamiliar female demon was really ruthless. The force of this kick was so astonis.h.i.+ng that it directly deformed half of his face.
With a loud bang, Archimonde lost his balance and was kicked over by the immense force. His ten-meter-tall body fell like a small mountain, causing the ground to tremble twice.
Before he could stand up, Junia had already spread her wings and swooped down again. The demon sword in her hand slashed at Archimonde’s neck without hesitation, looking as though she wanted to kill him.
Archimonde didn’t dare to let the demon sword hit him, so he shrank his neck and stepped back. His neck was fine, but Junia had cut off a few strands of the fleshy beard on his chin, causing Archimonde to scream in pain on the spot.
Junia still wanted to follow up her attacks, but Archimonde suddenly waved his hand and slapped her away, sending her flying hundreds of meters away like a cannonball, smas.h.i.+ng her through several high walls before finally landing in a ruin.
Archimonde touched his chin and found it empty. He instantly became furious. He took a deep breath, puffed up his chest, and blew out a ball of intense burning fel flames at Junia.
All the rocks along the way were melted into magma under the flames. The moment the flames attacked, Junia soared into the sky from the ruin to avoid them. But before she could rise high into the sky, Archimonde made a grabbing motion at her. The next second, an invisible force grabbed her.
“Die!” Archimonde roared and made a smas.h.i.+ng motion toward the ground, slamming Junia down from the sky.
Boom! The ground trembled, and Junia’s body pounded a huge pit tens of meters deep. At the moment of impact, a bomb seemed to have exploded on the ground, setting off a storm of smoke and dust.
After the smoke and dust settled, Junia’s figure slowly appeared, climbing out of the deep pit. Archimonde’s attack had severely injured her. Her armor had shattered, and the wings on her back were broken. But after climbing out, Junia’s eyes showed no fear at all as she continued to look fiercely at Archimonde.
Junia wouldn’t die, but this severe injury would undoubtedly shorten how long she could stay this time. Once the time was up, she would split back into Julia and Benia. How could the battle maniac Junia be willing to accept this?
However, Junia’s att.i.tude angered Archimonde once again. In his anger. he couldn’t care less about anything else and stretched out his right finger at Junia.
The blood-colored lightning of the Finger of Death flashed from Archimonde’s fingertip!
As Archimonde’s proud skill, the lethality of the Finger of Death was undoubtedly terrifying. He clearly had the intention to kill Junia, or else he wouldn’t have used this move. But no matter how powerful an ability was, it had to be fully activated. Just as the power of the Finger of Death flashed from Archimonde’s fingertip, an astonis.h.i.+ng killing intent came first. Before he could react, a demon claw with sharp nails penetrated his back and came out from his chest.
“Ah!!” Archimonde screamed in pain. Then he turned his head to look behind him while enduring the pain. The first thing he saw was Roy’s murderous face.
“Osiris!!!” Archimonde roared angrily. “How dare you sneak attack me?!”
But as soon as he finished speaking, a tremendous force came. Roy threw Archimonde.
Archimonde was thrown into a daze. When he got up dizzily, he saw Roy floating in the air not far away, standing between Junia and him. Roy was raising his arm and licking the blood on it.
After a lick, Roy shook his head and spat to the side. The saliva mixed with Archimonde’s green blood immediately burned a pit in the ground. With a burst of green smoke, an unpleasant smell wafted into the air.
“It really stinks! Your eredar demon bloodline is so rotten that it’s useless!” Roy said with disgust.
Roy had pierced a large hole in Archimonde’s chest, which looked quite terrifying, but such injuries were actually nothing. Simply physical damage was not a serious injury for a demon king. When Archimonde got up, the big hole in his chest had already begun to heal, but Roy’s words were a tremendous provocation to him.
Roy’s words were equivalent to insulting the entire eredar demon race. Archimonde flew into a rage.
But despite being angry, Archimonde miraculously controlled his impulse because he vaguely realized that something was wrong. Not only did Osiris, who had always kept a low profile in the Legion, suddenly appear, but he didn’t even greet him and directly attacked him, who was also a commander. What did this abnormal behavior mean?
But before Archimonde could figure it out, Roy suddenly turned his head and shouted in another direction, “Kil’jaeden, get out! Do you think I can’t find you if you hide?”
Archimonde turned his head to look in the direction Roy shouted. He found that there was indeed a blurriness there, and then Kil’jaeden’s figure slowly emerged.
After appearing, Kil’jaeden looked at Roy with a gloomy expression. “Osiris, although these two women are your adjutants, not only did they resist arrest, but they even burned Oronaar. Archimonde only took action to punish them, but you’re acting like this. Are you planning to protect them?”
“Cut the c.r.a.p!” Roy couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. He raised his chin and said, “What’s the use of saying this? Haven’t you and Archimonde wanted to test my strength long ago? Now that I’m here, the two of you can fight together!”
Upon hearing this, Archimonde realized that he seemed to have been accidentally used by Kil’jaeden. But he was on the same side as Kil’jaeden after all. Although he was a little angry, when he saw Kil’jaeden looking over, he nodded sullenly and still chose to side with him.
After receiving Archimonde’s agreement, Kil’jaeden laughed. “Osiris, you’re right. I think that although we’re all colleagues, there should be a distinction between primary and secondary. Since Lord Sargeras hasn’t returned yet, we can exchange views—”
But before Kil’jaeden could finish speaking, his pupils suddenly constricted.
Roy didn’t feign civility with him at all. Auriel, who was lying on his shoulder, spread her wings. The next second, countless Void Energy bullets shot from the feathers of the Void eyes and unreasonably bombarded Archimonde and Kil’jaeden…
