Chapter 150 The Destroyer Appears
To be honest, Gasric’s words gave Roy a reminder.
Now that he had promoted to high-rank demon, he was bound to go deeper into the Abyss after returning. It was a world occupied by high-rank demons, and with the fewer high-rank demons, the chance of encountering Xeron would become quite high.
Although Roy’s current appearance was completely different from when he first met Xeron because of his promotions and modifications to himself—and even if he met him, Xeron might not necessarily be able to recognize him—the problem was that when demons distinguished people, sometimes it was not entirely based on appearance but maybe also based on their magic power, aura, soul, and so on.
In particular, the true name of a demon took root in their soul, and there might be some kind of magic that could trace the demon through their true name.
Of course, Roy was now also a high-rank demon. Even if he really fought Xeron, Roy would not be afraid. Moreover, Xeron was someone who played with fire magic, and Roy’s frost power would be able to restrain him.
In fact, Roy guessed that Xeron would have never thought that he would advance from low-rank demon to high-rank demon in such a short amount of time. If they really did meet, he would definitely be shocked…
After they chatted for a bit, a sea demon suddenly came to the surface of the water and said to Gasric excitedly, “Your Excellency, we’ve found traces of humans! Their s.h.i.+p that can sail under the water is about fifteen kilometers away at the seabed. It’s a big one!”
Upon hearing this, Gasric was energetic and immediately spread his wings and flew up. The sea demon led him on the sea while he flew toward the human nuclear submarine.
Roy followed closely behind. Not only him, but all the demons nearby who heard the news also gathered. There was a lot of hubbub as a dense ma.s.s moved forward, looking like migrating birds…
When Roy and the others were about to arrive, an enormous wave suddenly rose from the water as a huge object broke out of the water. With a loud bang, the tail of the thing emitted a giant flame.
But there was not only one such item but three in total!
The demons gathered around were shocked and could not help but give way. They were not too sure what these things were.
Roy was the first to react, and he immediately shouted, “Catch up and stop them! Those are human submarine-launched missiles!”
The nuclear submarine at the bottom of the sea must have been surrounded by the sea demons. After realizing that it could not escape, it made the decision to perish together and recklessly launched all the remaining nuclear bombs! Hearing Roy’s words, the high-rank demons reacted and immediately flapped their wings to catch up. These submarine-launched missiles were currently in the initial acceleration phase, so the speed at which they rose was not too fast, and the high-rank demons soon caught up.
Gasric was the fastest flyer. After catching up to a missile, he swung his claws!
With a click, his sharp claws easily cut the steel sh.e.l.l of the missile into two. The bottom half continued to ascend a distance, while the top half fell because of the loss of thrust.
A high-rank demon took a deep breath and spat out an enormous black fireball from his mouth, wanting to burn the top half down!
Seeing this, Roy broke out in cold sweat. Without even thinking, he immediately waved his hand, and a black ice wall formed in midair to block the path of the fireball. After the fireball hit Roy’s ice wall, it immediately exploded violently, and then the fireball and ice wall perished together. The top half of the missile continued to fall. Some flying demons reacted quickly and swiftly flew forward to catch this half of the missile.
The high-rank demon who spat out the fireball was taken back for a moment before looking at Roy. “Why did you stop me?”
“d.a.m.n it! Do you want to bury all of us here?!” Roy could not help but curse at him. “That’s the section that carries the bomb! The high-temperature impact might cause the warhead to explode!”
Hearing this, the high-rank demon broke out in cold sweat. He knew that he had made a mistake, so he stopped speaking.
In fact, they had witnessed the horrors of the human weapons during the first nuclear attack. They were able to survive because they were not in the center of the explosion, but if they were not careful and accidentally detonated a nuclear bomb here, it would really be over…
The flying demons flew over with half of the missile and respectfully awaited for Roy to handle it.
Roy stepped forward and pressed his claws on the missile. With a clink, black ice immediately spread and froze all of it.
Roy actually knew that high-tech weapons like this were usually equipped with safety devices, and they would rarely detonate due to collisions or high temperatures. But the problem was that he did not dare to bet that the safety devices would be effective against the flames of h.e.l.lfire. Furthermore, there might be something like remote detonation.
Therefore, he had to handle this warhead. With the temperature of his Dark Cold, it was enough to freeze the electronic components inside the missile, making it no longer work.
Moreover, in his magic power, he now had the Desolate Virus that contained strong radiation, which could also interfere with the operation of the electronic components.
The high-rank demons pursuing the other two missiles returned with them. They noticed the situation here and realized that they could not casually handle the human weapons, so they brought them back and handed them to Roy to handle.
After freezing the three missiles with magic power, Roy heaved a sigh of relief. The power of nuclear bombs was still very terrifying, and even high-rank demons did not dare to be careless.
Perhaps, if humans had been given more time, they could have really defeated both the demons and angels in this End War and won the choice of fate…
Unfortunately, because of a scheme, the End War was started prematurely…
After dealing with the three missiles, Roy got the low-level demons to find a deserted place to put them. A group of low-level demons obeyed his orders, while the high-rank demons surrounded Roy. It seemed like they were curious about how Roy knew the characteristics of human weapons.
Roy did not intend to explain further. He only asked Gasric, “The sea demons should have caught that submarine, right?”
“Caught!” Gasric nodded. “But that s.h.i.+p doesn’t seem to have any resistance. The sea demons ripped the hull open, and as soon as the seawater poured in, the humans inside drowned…”
“Don’t rush to send them back yet. Let them search the seabed. There might be other submarines!” Roy said.
Roy was very clear that the humans of this world were probably already at their limits. Their homes were destroyed, and their race was facing extinction. At this time, humans could do anything. Regardless of his sympathy for them, his first and most important concern was to consider how to ensure his safety. He did not want to be hit by dozens of nuclear bombs while he was hunting souls…
I am now a demon! Roy touched his demon horns and sighed…
The rest was temporarily handed over to the sea demons. Roy and the other high-rank demons planned to return, but just as they were about to leave, a sudden change happened!
A fierce pressure that was strong enough to make even the high-rank demons tremble suddenly came from the other end of the sea!
All the high-rank demons present, including Roy, felt it and could not help but look back. The low-level demons fared even worse. They were so shocked by the pressure that they fell into the sea one by one. Above the sea in the distance, they could see a huge black spot rapidly approaching. “d.a.m.n… d.a.m.n it! This magic power aura…” a high-rank demon could not help but exclaim when he realized what was going on.
“It’s a dragon! No, wait! It also mixed with the aura of a demon!” another high-rank demon said.
“What the h.e.l.l is it?! Why is it so powerful?!”
“It’s as powerful as His Majesty Samael, but I can guarantee that it’s definitely not His Majesty coming!” Roy was a little stunned. In his Radiation Perception, the black spot flying in the distance gave him the illusion of seeing another sun! The radiation emanating from the other party was simply dazzling! “Quick, run!” Roy shouted before charging toward the bottom of the sea!
With his reminder, the other high-rank demons quickly plunged into the water. Most of them were demons who were good at using flames, so it was very uncomfortable to enter the water. But how could they care about so much now?!
After entering the water, Roy and the others kept drilling to the bottom until they dived deep enough. They stopped and looked up at the water above.
Then they saw a dark shadow covering the sky…
Just for a moment, everyone could clearly see that it was indeed a vague shadow that resembled a dragon.
This shadow flashed across the surface of the sea with unparalleled pressure! The moment the shadow flew past, the surface of the sea began to burn! Even at the bottom of the sea, Roy could see the flames on the sea.
The owner of this shadow did not seem to be targeting them, so the high-rank demons looked at each other in the water and hurriedly went to the surface to see what had flown over.
The moment they surfaced, Roy and the others saw the departing figure on the burning sea.
It was an immense… black dragon with a wingspan of nearly two kilometers! His wings were burning with raging flames, and every flap brought about a fierce heat wave. As he flew, he left a trail of flames on the surface of the sea…
For a moment, Roy thought that he was looking at the black dragon in the World of Warcraft, Deathwing/Neltharion, but then he quickly remembered. Right! This black dragon seems to be the final boss that War fought in Darksiders 1!
It seems… it’s called… the Destroyer?!
