Chapter 325 - Weaken the Body, Destroy the Will
Chapter 325 Weaken the Body, Destroy the Will
This outcome was within Roy’s expectations. As a mature demon, it was another matter if he was evil or not, but he had to use all the resources and cards he could use to fight. He had been in a deadlock with Kha-Beleth, using harassment attacks and fighting guerrilla warfare, in order to force out his ultimate move and then use the Isabel card.
This was because Roy knew very well that demons, humans, and even angels, titans, and dragons were all the same. All creatures that used magic power to release magic had a common problem: the stronger the magic was, the more likely it would cause a magic power backlash when interrupted rashly. This was due to the nature of magic.
Kha-Beleth’s situation was like this. Perhaps he wanted to defend his dignity as a demon lord and easily kill Roy, his army, and enemies like Gem. He needed a glorious victory to make people fear him, so it was understandable for him to choose to use formidable magic such as the Rain of Calamity.
But this incredibly powerful magic required an abnormally massive and shocking amount of magic power. After the Rain of Calamity fell, Kha-Beleth had actually been maintaining his output of magic power. But after hearing the news of Isabel giving birth from Roy, not only did he want to shut off his magic power output, but he even wanted to take back his magic power and make the Rain of Calamity dissipate. This was an extremely dangerous action.
The Rain of Calamity could be regarded as a forbidden spell, a forbidden spell that was even stronger than Xeron’s Armageddon, and the price of interrupting this forbidden spell was absolutely high! Sure enough, under Roy’s gaze, Kha-Beleth spat out blood. Although his body had elementalized, and Roy did not know where his blood came from, this guy did indeed spat blood. Moreover, after spraying blood, his colossal body immediately shrank substantially, and his entire body became corporeal, leaving only a thin layer of flames on the skin of his body. It was totally different from the raging aura from before. Even the scythe formed from flames in his hand dissipated… Kha-Beleth looked far more dispirited.
Roy secretly heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the gradually reducing and disappearing rain of flames. Although it seemed like he was fine on the surface, in fact, in just a short three minutes, his ice wall had suffered at least ten thousand blows from the rain of flames. In order to maintain the existence of the ice wall, he had to consume a considerable amount of magic power. Had the rain of flames continued at the same intensity, he did not know how long his magic power could have lasted…
I wonder how Cassandra is doing. With her and Fat Tiger, I don’t know if they can withstand such a powerful attack…
Without the attack of the rain of flames, Roy’s magic power began to recover quickly under the enhancement of the Cold Winter Armor. But he did not move. He merely stood quietly and waited for his magic power to recover.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kha-Beleth, who was not far away, slowly stood up. His situation was terrible. After being a demon lord for so many years, he had never suffered such a degree of magic power backlash. He knew that his situation was not good, so he looked at Roy opposite him. After thinking for a while, he moved his hooves and chased in the direction where the alliance army had retreated.
He knew that it was only possible for Isabel to be in this direction. Although he could not sense her, if his child, the Dark Messiah, was born, he would be able to sense the location due to the blood connection. Therefore, what he needed to do now was to rush over and seize his child as soon as possible. This was not to say that Kha-Beleth cared for his child, but because the child was exceptionally important to him—he was the hope of all the demon lords imprisoned in Sheogh.
Sheogh’s barrier weakened by the day, but the irritable demon lords could no longer wait. They desperately wanted to escape from the seal, and the key to breaking the seal was this Child of Taboo…
In fact, Kha-Beleth also thought that he should not break the seal so soon. After all, he was the only demon lord who had escaped now. He could rule the entire demon camp, and this authority to rule felt pretty good. But the problem was that even if Kha-Beleth did not break the seal, the seal was still weakening. If he were to use these little tricks, the other demon lords would definitely not spare him after they escaped. Therefore, it was not easy for Kha-Beleth, and he was also under tremendous pressure. He absolutely could not afford to lose the Dark Messiah…
Kha-Beleth ran forward, and Roy flew behind him slowly. He stopped when Kha-Beleth stopped; he ran when Kha-Beleth ran. This behavior made Kha-Beleth gnash his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Roy was doing this because he was determining Kha-Beleth’s condition.
After a magic power backlash, it was usually impossible to use magic power for a short time. This was the best time for Roy to attack. However, because his opponent was a demon lord, Roy was not sure whether Kha-Beleth really could not use any magic power, so he cautiously chased after him to observe.
After observing for a while, he found that Kha-Beleth had been running and had no intention of using his flame wings to fly. After thinking about it, Roy decided to test it out.
With a boom, a sonic cloud appeared around Roy, and he rushed toward Kha-Beleth at a speed that broke through the sound barrier. Of course, Kha-Beleth heard Roy’s movements and immediately turned around. After seeing Roy approaching him, he hurriedly swung his fist at Roy. His enormous body and fist were naturally not as big as usual.
However, what he did not know was that his reflexive action exposed the fact that he could not use magic power temporarily because he could not even attach flames to his fist with this punch.
At this point, Roy no longer had any reservations. The moment Kha-Beleth’s fist was about to hit him, he suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed straight to his shoulder blade.
After landing on his shoulder, Roy stepped on the thin layer of flames on his skin, raised Frostmourne, and plunged it down!
Frostmourne, carrying Roy’s Dark Cold magic power, immediately broke Kha-Beleth’s skin. While causing the wound, the dark frost suppressed and extinguished the flames and quickly spread all over.
Kha-Beleth roared in pain. He felt that a portion of the strength in his body was instantly sucked away, so he reached out angrily and patted his shoulder.
Roy did not want to fight head-on, so he withdrew Frostmourne and avoided the attack.
At the same time, Roy felt the infusion of immense strength and knew that he had finally hurt Kha-Beleth’s body.
When he fought Kha-Beleth earlier, although he had used Frostmourne to attack him, he had not been able to break through his flame defense layer at that time. All his attacks had basically become magic power consumption. But it was different now. Kha-Beleth was in a state of magic power backlash, and the only thing he could rely on was his enormous body and muscles. He had temporarily left the elementalization state, which gave Roy a chance.
Since Frostmourne had injured Kha-Beleth’s body, the large number of curses on it naturally took effect.
The enhanced version of Strength Absorption let Roy instantly snatch a lot of strength from Kha-Beleth. The enhanced version of Bleeding caused blood to gush out continuously from the wound on his shoulder blade, and it was constantly frozen into ice. The enhanced version of Gravity made his entire body sink into the ground, and his every action suffered the restraint of stronger gravity.
The most outrageous thing was naturally the enhanced version of Expulsion. Kha-Beleth was originally a demon from the Abyss, and he was only able to stay in this world because he had signed a contract with the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash. He had not felt the repulsive force of the power of the world for many, many years, but he did not expect that this repulsive force would appear on him after Roy’s sword injured him!
Damn it! What the hell?! What kind of strange sword is this?!
Kha-Beleth was currently feeling extremely depressed. Not only did he have to divert his attention to deal with Roy’s attacks, but he also had to divert his attention to resist the repulsive force of the world that appeared on him again. It really felt like one disaster after another.
The slap did not hit Roy. Roy circled around and went down Kha-Beleth’s back as Frostmourne drew a giant wound on his back.
The Strength Absorption curse took effect again, causing Kha-Beleth’s body to shake violently. The tremendous sense of weakness struck and finally made him feel fear.
Magic power, my magic power has to restore soon! Or else I’m really doomed!
At this moment, Roy suddenly kicked Kha-Beleth’s back hard.
With a loud bang, Roy’s kick made Kha-Beleth’s enormous body fall to the ground.
On the one hand, Roy had increased his strength, while on the other, he had snatched Kha-Beleth’s strength. After two Strength Absorptions, Roy temporarily surpassed Kha-Beleth in terms of strength. After Roy kicked him, the blow to Kha-Beleth’s confidence became even more severe.
As soon as Kha-Beleth got up halfway, Roy floated in from him. The pentagrams in his eyes lit up, and the fear effect of the Eyes of Nightmare pierced directly into Kha-Beleth’s mind.
At this moment, countless chaotic scenes appeared in his mind, all of which were scenes of helplessness and despair that he had encountered in his life.
“Ah!!!” Kha-Beleth screamed in horror. He got up, hugged his head, and rushed forward without care.
Seeing him rushing forward, Roy could not help smiling The fact that the Eyes of Nightmare was effective meant that Kha-Beleth’s will was gradually being destroyed. Under these repeated blows, Kha-Beleth was no longer the Demon Sovereign with the invincible faith…
I’ll take advantage of this to kill him! While flying and catching up, Roy began to accumulate magic power.
By the time Roy arrived behind Kha-Beleth, he had already recovered from his fear. But at this moment, he did not have any good means to fight back against Roy. He could only roar and swing his fist to attack Roy.
Roy dodged Kha-Beleth’s attacks nimbly and finally found a gap. The tail behind him suddenly bent, and a purple ray of light shot out from the tip and directly hit Kha-Beleth!
“Become a fruit pudding…’
