Chapter 278 Skeleton Angel
The battle ended faster than Roy expected.
Solmyr, who stayed to cover the retreat of the alliance army, was actually a very powerful hero. Unfortunately, he did not choose any other magic to practice but chose air magic. His signature Chain Lightning spell was useless against Roy.
This was the advantage of source magic. Not only could it bring stronger magic power to the user, but it could also allow the user to obtain higher resistance to the corresponding magic element. Solmyr and Roy both used lightning as their source, so the final compet.i.tion was whose magic power was higher. Solmyr’s magic power was not as good as Roy’s, so his lightning could not affect him. On the other hand, Roy’s lightning could cause a certain degree of damage to him. The same logic applied to the lightning t.i.tans and storm t.i.tans. These t.i.tans were often invincible when facing other enemies, but they were defeated by Roy. The only thing they could rely on was their physical strength. Unfortunately, the t.i.tans had never been known for their speed and agility. Even though these t.i.tans could easily beat him to death with their combined strength, they could not catch him at all.
This led to the remaining t.i.tans repeatedly roaring angrily throughout the entire battle. They struck as fierce as tigers but could only turn around in place while panting heavily from exhaustion. Roy continuously killed them one by one.
After all, this world was a world ruled by dragons. Roy did not know if the t.i.tans in this world had bloodline problems, but they were not actually too powerful. At least, it was easy for him to deal with the remaining dozens of t.i.tans.
Roy did not rush to kill the remaining green dragons and emerald dragons at first. Although these green dragons had only just matured, their acid dragon breath was just as greatly beneficial to him. Therefore, while evading and killing the t.i.tans, he continuously lured the green dragons to attack him with dragon breaths and then devoured the dragon breaths.
This feeling was strange. It felt like he was eating the saliva of the green dragons. But under the enhancement of Dragon Slayer Magic, these dragon breaths constantly transformed into his physical strength and magic power recovery. This feeling was like a group of green dragons was healing him, making it easier for him to kill the t.i.tans.
At the same time, Roy’s acid and poison resistance increased rapidly through devouring these dragon breaths. He did not have resistances in these elements in the past, so their growth speed was rapid.
Gradually, the acid dragon breath that could cause him some damage at the start no longer worked afterward.
Roy knew that the higher the resistance brought by devouring the same element dragon breath, the weaker the effect became. So when he found that the absorption effect was no longer much, he began killing these green dragons that had completed their mission.
The green dragons flying in the air wailed as they fell one after another. Their ma.s.sive weights smashed onto the ground and caused it to tremble. They all had gaping wounds on their bodies. These wounds were either caused by Frostmourne or the Sword of Frost. Because the wounds caused by the Sword of Frost froze due to the ultra-low temperature, it allowed them to last a little while longer. But before they could recover from their self-healing abilities, they were bitten by their companions who had fallen to Mind Distortion.
Finally, these green dragons exhausted their last traces of blood in their struggle and died.
As for the angels left behind by Archbishop Alaric, they had also died. The difference was that they had ended up dying in the hands of their zombie companions… Roy originally thought that beings like angels, even artificial angels, would not transform into undead. After all, they were existences with holy souls. But he still underestimated the power of Frostmourne, which had advanced to a divine artifact. Those angels that collapsed because of Mind Distortion turned into very special undead!
After they died and their souls were taken away by Roy, the flesh and blood of these angels dissipated, leaving only a pile of pitch-black skeletons. Even the wings on their backs had lost all their feathers, leaving only a pair of bone wings.
When the first skeleton angel rose, to be honest, even Roy was shocked. He realized that he seemed to have created a new type of undead that had never existed in the Ashan world before through Frostmourne!
This was likely because after being injured by Frostmourne, the angels could no longer use the power of holy light under the effect of Mind Distortion. The moment they fell into madness, their firm will and pious hearts no longer existed. Under such circ.u.mstances, their bodies could no longer restrain holy light power, and the holy light power left them.
Therefore, after they died, holy light no longer protected their corpses, allowing their corpses to be transformed into undead…
When the skeleton angels rose one by one and attacked their former companions, Roy saw a look of extreme horror in the eyes of the remaining angels. Even the angels with firm wills had such emotions, showing how great the psychological impact the skeleton angels had on them. To be frank, these skeleton angels probably made the angels feel even more furious and terrified than fallen angels like Julia!
Finally, the last remaining four-winged angel was unwilling to continue fighting. He turned around and flew into the sky, wanting to escape the battlefield.
But after discovering his intention, Roy instantly moved behind him and froze this angel into a black ice sculpture!
He could not let this four-winged angel leave because once he left, the matter of the skeleton angels might spread throughout the entire Heaven Outpost of this world. At that time, all the angels in this world would probably come out and treat Roy as the most evil and unforgivable enemy ever! The kind where they would never rest until they killed him!
Roy was not so arrogant that he wanted to go to war with the entire Heaven of this world, so he could only intercept and kill this four-winged angel…
Seeing Roy kill these high-level mythical creatures one by one, Solmyr only felt deep despair. He knew that a demon as powerful as Demon Lord Kha-Beleth had appeared.
At the same time, Solmyr also realized that despite this demon in front of him having strength not inferior to that of a demon lord, it seemed that he had not truly become a demon lord. Perhaps it was at the last moment of the battle, but his mind was unprecedentedly clear, causing him to suddenly recall a rumor about demons.
It was a book about demon studies that he had seen in the Library of Bracada. It recorded an unwritten rule among demons. When a demon had the power to become a demon lord and wanted to become a demon lord, they had to challenge a true demon lord During this time, this demon would recruit a large number of subordinates and launch a war with the demon lord they wanted to challenge.
The challenged demon lord could not reject this challenge. If the demon lord was defeated, then they had to acknowledge the status of the demon and accept the demon as a new demon lord. If the demon was defeated, then they had to accept the fate of being enslaved by the demon lord.
Solmyr did not know whether this was true or not. After all, the one who wrote this was not a demon themselves. But since there was such a record, it had to be based on rumors. Solmyr immediately roared at Roy, who was not far away, “Demon Osiris! Tell me, why are you so determined to enter Eeofol?! Do you want to converge with the demons or challenge Demon Lord Kha-Beleth?!”
“Is there a need for me to tell you my purpose?” Roy had already killed all the high-level mythical creatures. He stayed in the air, took out the Soul Attracting Flag, and began to gather all the souls on the battlefield. Seeing countless souls floating in from all directions, he was in a good mood, so he did not mind chatting with Solmyr.
Solmyr was also floating in the air. His lower body was a whirlwind, so he moved very quickly. He flew in front of Roy and stared intently at him. “Perhaps all of us have guessed wrongly. You’re not going to Eeofol to converge with the demons. You’re a demon. Since you have such formidable power, how can you submit to other demons? What a joke! If we had known this was the case, even if Arantir talked until the sky collapsed, we wouldn’t have agreed to his request. In Dendera Fortress and Aglan Fortress, no one would have blocked you from entering Eeofol…”
“Oh?! What do you mean?” Roy did not understand what Solmyr was talking about, so he was very surprised.
However, in the eyes of Solmyr, he felt that Roy’s surprise was just him pretending to be confused, so he smiled bitterly and spread his arms. “Come, kill me… I hope you can fulfill your wis.h.!.+”
Roy frowned as he looked at Solmyr. He could not follow this guy’s train of thought and felt strange. But looking at how he was prepared to die, Roy knew that he could not ask anything, so he stabbed the Sword of Frost in his right hand into his chest.
He had killed djinns before and knew that these djinns were actually elementals. They could not be truly killed, and they would only be sent to sleep in their magic lamps. In order to completely destroy them, what he needed to do was to destroy the lamp they were in.
When the Sword of Frost pierced Solmyr and froze him, this fellow’s body suddenly turned into blue smoke, escaped the control of the ice, and disappeared in the air.
Following the direction where the blue smoke disappeared, Roy found Solmyr’s lamp among the corpses on the battlefield.
This ancient lamp somewhat resembles an oil can. It seemed to have been around for a long time. Roy picked up the lamp and rubbed it, but he found no movement. He knew that Solmyr was probably already asleep.
He did not know how long Solmyr was going to sleep, so he did not have the thought of getting him to serve him. Therefore, he threw the lamp on the ground and stomped on it, completely crus.h.i.+ng it…
Turning around, Roy began to remove the frozen state for Julia, Fat Tiger, and the others. But when he landed, he found that the mutants that escaped from Dendera Fortress had already arrived on the battlefield and surrounded him like the stars around the moon…
