Chapter 326 - The Birth of the Dark Messiah
Chapter 326 The Birth of the Dark Messiah
The moment the purple Transfiguration Beam Kha-Beleth, it immediately spread across his entire body at the speed of light and enveloped his enormous body.
With a faint thud, Kha-Beleth instantly turned into a swaying… soft pudding!
Among all the skills Roy created, the Transfiguration Beam was a godly skill. This short-lived ability to change the physical attributes of the target’s entire body was simply amazing. Seeing Kha-Beleth turn into a mass of thousands of tons of pudding, even Roy felt that it was an eye-opener and unbelievable.
But he did not dare to delay. He immediately rushed forward and waved Frostmourne, slashing out several ice sword beams and cutting up Kha-Beleth’s body.
When Roy weakened him earlier while he was temporarily unable to use magic power, this was the goal. Only by weakening him as much as possible would the duration of the Transfiguration Beam last longer. Otherwise, Roy would not be able to do much in the shortest one second.
But now, the moment the Transfiguration Beam hit, Roy knew that it could take effect on Kha-Beleth for four seconds. In these four seconds, Roy would do his best to cut Kha-Beleth’s enormous body into pieces.
After his body turned into a soft pudding, Kha-Beleth had lost all his hardness and defense. Frostmourne cut into his body effortlessly and slashed more than ten times in four seconds, cutting him into dozens of different-sized… puddings.
Kha-Beleth’s body collapsed and piled messily on the ground, showing a kind of… soft-bodied animal-like effect. When the duration of the Transfiguration Beam was up, these piled puddings turned back into his limbs, but these limbs had completely separated from him. “Ah-!!”
After transforming back, these cut-off parts naturally meant countless huge wounds. Now that Kha-Beleth could not use magic power, his body naturally could not elementalize. Immense amounts of blood flowed out of this torso like the opening of floodgates, causing him to roar miserably in pain.
“Wh-what did you do to me?!” Roy had cut Kha-Beleth’s neck, separating his head from his body. At this moment, his head was tilted on the ground, looking at Roy with his eyes bulging. “You didn’t die?!” Roy was greatly surprised. After he severed Xeron’s head, he had died instantly, but Kha-Beleth was still able to maintain his consciousness despite being cut into a pile of chunks of meat.
Roy stretched out his foot and kicked a piece of muscle tissue in front of Kha-Beleth. This was a large piece of… marbled meat, which seemed to be tissue from Kha-Beleth’s abdomen. Roy discovered that this big piece of meat still had strong vitality. Although the cut was large, causing blood to gush out continuously, the muscle tissues on it were shrinking and trying to stop the bleeding.
“Tsk tsk. Stupid!” After hearing Roy’s surprise, Kha-Beleth laughed wildly. “I am Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth. Don’t use the common sense of high-rank demons to judge me!”
Roy went silent. Although Kha-Beleth did not explain, he had some guesses.
In fact, he could feel the changes in his self-healing ability as he advanced from low-rank demon all the way up. The activity stat in his attribute panel was pretty high, and he could quickly recover from most of the ordinary injuries he received. Back in the Darksiders world, he had once cut off one of his arms, but after some time, his arm grew again.
Of course, this powerful self-healing ability had a limit. At least after suffering fatal damage, it was exceedingly difficult to save his life. After being cut into two by Raphael’s holy sword, Roy had almost died on the spot. It was the same as cutting off Xeron’s head. They were both fatal blows.
However, Kha-Beleth was a demon lord, an existence known as a demigod. A demon of this level far surpassed high-rank demons. Not only did it reflect in magic power, but it also reflected in the physical body.
Demon lords, six-winged angels, and mythical creatures of this level were all advancing in the direction of elementalization. The giant flame beast that Kha-Beleth was earlier was actually his elementalized body. And this kind of body that could already elementalize had already caused their original bodies to change.
Although not being able to use magic power temporarily had made Kha-Beleth appear in physical form, his current physical form was probably in between the physical and elementalization states. In other words, the limbs that Roy cut off had both physical characteristics and the mystical characteristics of elementalization.
This was probably the so-called ‘demigod body’!
In other words, for a demigod like this, the vital points in the conventional sense had already disappeared. It was remarkably difficult to kill them at this point. Kha-Beleth could already be considered to have an immortal body.
In fact, according to the words in the Ashan world, existences at the level of Kha-Beleth could already be called ‘immortal’. The reason why Sar-Elam chose to seal the demon lords such as Kha-Beleth instead of killing them was mainly because of their ‘immortal’ attribute…
Of course, being hard to kill did not mean that it was impossible, but the price to pay would be too great…
“Feeling despair?” Seeing Roy frown, Kha-Beleth felt extremely carefree. He said viciously to Roy, “Just wait. When I recover my magic power, it will be your death!” “Don’t talk too much!” Roy snorted coldly. With a wave of Frostmourne, he cut off a large piece from the meat in front of him and stabbed it with his sword. “I admit that ordinary methods might not kill you, but I can try another method!” With that, Roy bent his tail once again and shot another Transfiguration Beam at the piece of meat on his sword.
This time, Roy turned Kha-Beleth’s muscle tissue into a piece of chocolate. Then he opened his mouth, revealing his sharp teeth, and swallowed the chocolate in a few bites.
“You…” Kha-Beleth’s eyes widened. He did not expect Roy to eat him!
What terrified him the most was that he could clearly feel that the muscle tissue that Roy swallowed had truly disappeared from his body!
In other words, the method Roy chose could really kill Kha-Beleth, and this method was to devour…
“What kind of monster are you?!” Kha-Beleth was going crazy. It was the first time he had encountered a demon who surpassed his understanding. If this continued, he would probably become the first demon lord in the Abyss to be killed because of being eaten! At this thought, he could not help but roar hoarsely, “You can’t do this! You can’t do this to me! Unless you want to become the public enemy of the entire Abyss!!”
However, Roy snorted coldly. “Don’t worry, no one will know. As long as I don’t say anything, and you don’t say anything… Oh, I forgot. If I really ate you, you won’t be able to say anything!” “No… No… you can’t do this!” The body fragments of Kha-Beleth trembled violently, as though he wanted to control them to move. It seemed like the psychological trauma Roy caused him was too great, and he was desperately trying to escape from Roy. The shadow of fear affected his thoughts, causing him to be unable to think calmly. He did not want to think about how big of a stomach Roy needed to eat him if Roy really wanted to kill him. His body was now thousands of tons, and even if Roy used Transfiguration Beam to transform him into chocolate, it was still thousands of tons of chocolate, enough to make Roy full to the point of bursting to death…
Moreover, the most troublesome thing was that Roy felt that something was wrong after swallowing that muscle tissue.
Kha-Beleth was a flame demon, and he was already an elementalized flame demon. Although what Roy ate was chocolate, what he was actually trying to digest was a mass of flames, a mass of flames with the destruction flames attribute. These flames naturally conflicted with his frost demon bloodline.
Therefore, Roy seemed to be having a stomachache…
An incomparably scorching power kept churning in his abdomen, forcing him to channel frost magic power to suppress this heat.
This won’t do. Even if I want to kill him this way, I shouldn’t be the one to devour him. Roy thought gloomily. If I want to eat him, I should let Fat Tiger do it…
Of course, Kha-Beleth could not know what was going on inside Roy’s body. He only saw the savage expression on Roy’s face and felt an indescribable panic. He desperately tried to regain control of his body to regain his mobility, but he did not think about why Roy had not continued to devour a second piece.
Although Roy looked calm on the surface, his mind was spinning quickly.
Do I really have to use that move to deal with this guy? Roy thought. But once I use that move, I’ll lose my magic power for a short time. If I can’t kill this guy, it may become even more troublesome…
The move Roy was referring to was naturally a condensate attack. It was very possible to kill Kha-Beleth directly with a low temperature infinitely close to absolute zero… But just as Roy and Kha-Beleth were in this strange confrontation, something suddenly happened.
A massive and vast dark power suddenly appeared in the distance. When Roy felt this dark power, he raised his head and found that it came from where Julia and Cassandra were.
Even from afar, Roy could see countless dark auras gathering and converging in this spot. These dark auras condensed into a substance, turning into a thick black mist that enveloped the distant sky… Seeing this, Roy was shocked. As expected, he heard the mental message from Cassandra. “Master… Master, come quickly. The Darkness Messiah… is born!”
