Chapter 368 - Cataclysm (4)
Chapter 368 Cataclysm (4)
In the face of this disaster, the alliance army forgot all about the battle against demons and the glory of restoring justice and hope. All the races were now thinking about how to save their lives. Their desire to survive had totally occupied their minds, and they had no time to think about anything else. Therefore, almost everyone forgot to pay attention to the tall demon that was still on the city wall of Ur-Hekal, including Isabel and the others. After rushing out of the thick smoke and seeing the light again, they suddenly realized that Demon Lord Osiris seemed to have disappeared…
What they did not know was that, at this moment, a colossal dragon was floating in the sky nearly thirty thousand meters above them.
It had a pitch-black body that was nearly a kilometer long. It did not have the wings of ordinary dragons, but it had four claws. On its head was a strange double-layered jaw with hideous sharp teeth all over its mouth.
He was the Sky Dragon of Osiris, the Sky Dragon Rafaro!
On his flat forehead, a magic formation suddenly lit up, and in the next second, several figures suddenly appeared on top of his head.
They were none other than Roy, Julia, Benia, Fat Tiger, Cassandra, and the baby in Cassandra’s arms, the Dark Messiah, Sareth.
As soon as Fat Tiger appeared in the magic formation, his three heads kept sneezing. After sneezing more than ten times, he pushed the top of his head against Roy with a wronged expression and whimpered. The volcanic ash brought about by the volcanic eruptions made him very uncomfortable, and he was looking for Roy to comfort him.
At this moment, Roy’s three pairs of demon wings were spreading out behind his back, and he was six meters tall. He had clearly entered the True Name Liberation state. His entire body was brimming with formidable magic power, faintly forming a blazing mist, but he was also covered in dirt.
Entering the True Name Liberation state was not for combat but for resisting the repulsive force of the world.
In fact, ever since he could not sign a contract with Urgash, he understood that he could not use any magic power in this war. He used all his magic power to resist the repulsive effect, and he could not fight against Isabel, the Gold Dragon Queen, and the others. But the opposite side came aggressively, and if he did not resist, he would die. Of course, he did not want to die, so he used this extreme method of detonating all the volcanoes in Eeofol at the same time.
If it were any other demon lord, they might not necessarily be able to achieve his level. It had to be known that it was simply impossible to detonate so many volcanoes at the same time purely with magic power. But Roy was different. He knew how to use his own advantages and how to create weapons and tools like humans to achieve his goals.
Demon lords were not terrifying, but what was fearsome were demon lords with culture… The effect was naturally extremely astonishing. The detonated volcanoes were not as simple as volcanic eruptions. The intense energy shocks not only released the pressure of the volcanoes outwards, but they also squeezed the center of the ground below. Finally, they transformed into the changes in the crust, forming earth cracks…
When Roy thought of this battle strategy, he had considered the gargantuan consequences, so he had long released Rafaro and ordered him to float in the sky so that no one could touch him and be prepared to receive Roy and the others. When the entire city of Ur-Hekal fell because of the crack in the ground, Roy directly activated the Teleport skill on the city wall and brought Julia and the others to Rafaro’s head to avoid this equally dangerous disaster for them.
As for the surviving high-rank demon heroes, Roy did not care about them. They were not his trusted subordinates, so he did not bring them along when he left. Fortunately, the disaster should have devoured them, so their souls might return to the Abyss and have a chance to resurrect.
After tidying up, Julia, Benia, and the others heaved a sigh of relief. They leaned on the edge of Rafaro’s forehead and looked down.
At an altitude of thirty thousand meters, they could almost see the entire terrain of Eeofol. At this moment, they could see that a grayish-black color had entirely replaced the original red-black surface of Eeofol. Swirling dust formed a fog, and in the fog, they could still see the red eruptions, which was the magma erupting from volcanoes. This situation was happening all across Eeofol’s land of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and they could see that this situation was still spreading to the borders of the surrounding countries.
If nothing unexpected happened, it would not take long before the shock waves of the earthquake spread to other countries, and it would also cause great disasters. The poisonous volcanic ash could even spread all over the world and cause acid rain to fall. The volcanic ash would spread high in the sky for several months, blocking the sun and causing the ground to lack light for a long time. At that time, all of Ashan would have a series of terrifying consequences such as crop loss and loss of production, resulting in a widespread famine throughout the world…
This disaster was not merely as simple as destroying the more than two million alliance troops… “What is that?” Benia asked curiously while pointing at a white line below.
Roy took a look and thought for a moment before replying, “If I remember correctly, you’re pointing at the ocean, so it should be a gigantic tsunami.”
Yes, on the southernmost border of Eeofol, the ocean was next to it. The mass eruption of more than sixty volcanoes triggered an immense tide of seawater. Now that the seawater had flowed back, it brought with it an enormous wave hundreds of meters tall!
After recognizing that it was a gigantic tsunami, Roy felt a sense of déjà vu. It reminded him of the movie ‘2012’ that he had seen in the past. He could imagine that all the borders of countries that bordered the ocean would welcome the impact of tsunamis.
And now, he had become the culprit behind this catastrophe…
Everyone had been watching the changes in the ground in the sky. During this period of time, the thick smoke permeating Eeofol dissipated a little, revealing a portion of the surface. But the ferocious scars all over the ground had already made Eeofol totally unrecognizable, and it was no longer the Eeofol that the demons were familiar with.
If nothing unexpected happened, in the next several decades or hundreds of years, the tectonic plates of the entirety of Ashan would undergo drastic changes. Some of the shattered landmasses of Eeofol might drift away and enter the ocean to become islands or collide with other landmasses and fuse together. But it would inevitably be accompanied by large earthquakes.
Thinking of this, Roy felt complicated. In fact, after becoming a demon lord, he realized that he had the ability to destroy a country with ease. But realizing it was absolutely different from doing it personally.
Back in the Darksiders world, he had experienced the cataclysmic scene of humanity’s destruction, but his feelings were not as strong as this time.
I hope I don’t get lost in the pleasure of this power and eventually lose myself…
Through the soul vision of demons, Roy could see numerous soul lights appearing on the ground below. He was at an altitude of thirty thousand meters, and he could still see the lights of souls at this height. This meant that many soul lights had clustered together, and there were no less than a hundred of these lights. In this disaster, not only did the alliance soldiers die, but countless animals had also died, which was why there were soul clusters of such scale.
Of course, Roy could not waste so many souls. He took out the Soul Attracting Flag and handed it to Julia so that she could pour magic power into it to collect these souls. Due to the high altitude, it took a lot of time for the souls to fly up, so the collection was a little slow. But Roy still had some time, so he was not in a hurry.
He knew very well that after this calamity, he would probably become the most unpopular person in all of Ashan, but he did not care because he would soon return to the Abyss, and it would be difficult for him to cross paths with this world again in the future.
The process of collecting souls lasted for a long time, and during this time, there was still a steady stream of souls, showing that disasters were constantly spreading. At this rate, who knew when it would end. Just as Roy wanted Julia to stop, he suddenly heard Cassandra’s voice. “Master, what is that?”
Roy turned around and looked in the direction Cassandra was pointing. He found that Cassandra was still pointing at the ocean. But unlike the white line from the tsunami, Roy saw… a black spot?!
What is that? Roy found it strange and could not help but observe the black spot carefully.
The black spot was about two hundred kilometers away from the southern coastline of Eeofol. From Roy’s current altitude, it was almost on the edge of the arc of the horizon. He thought that it was something like a deep trench or underwater cave that appeared after the seawater flowed away, but he quickly overturned his judgment because, strangely, the black spot was expanding.
“Rafaro, fly over and take a look!” Roy ordered.
“No, Master, it’s best not to go over!” Rafaro said. “I don’t know why, but I have a very bad feeling. It seems like something… something is coming out! Moreover, it seems to be… the aura of some dragon that’s far greater than me… No, it’s even greater than the Gold Dragon Queen!” “What?” Roy was shocked. It was too far away, so he could not feel much, but Rafaro had sensed it before him, so he had to take it seriously.
At this moment, a high-pitched and penetrating dragon roar suddenly resounded. Not only did the dragon roar reach Roy’s and the others’ ears, but it even spread throughout the entire Ashan world, the entire planet!
This dragon roar was full of pain, despair, anger, madness, hatred, and hunger. Even Roy did not expect to hear so many emotions from a voice…
After hearing this voice, Roy suddenly thought of something, and his face changed.
“No way?! How is this possible?!” Roy stared at the black spot in the distance and could not help but be anxious and shout.
“What’s wrong?” Julia and Benia asked, puzzled by his expression.
However, Roy’s answer stunned them. “Urgash! It’s the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash! Yes, it’s definitely him! He’s escaping and coming out!”
