Chapter 428 - Urizen Staking Everything and Sareth’s Family
Chapter 428: Urizen Staking Everything and Sareth’s Family
“As expected, just a fourfold increase in strength still isn’t enough to directly punch a demon lord to death!”
Seeing Urizen getting up, Roy waved his hand and gestured at him, motioning for him to continue.
This action made Urizen furious. The contempt was too strong. Ever since he was born, when had he ever been humiliated like this?! He roared angrily and began accumulating power on the spot.
The bone spikes on his body that had been broken by the Nail Punch grew out again, and the sunken part of his chest returned to normal. Under his tyrannical recovery ability, Urizen returned to his peak state. The moment he finished charging, he spread his arms!
A circle of blue magic power erupted from his body, and this magic power instantly caused a tremendous explosion. In the dazzling light, a powerful shock wave swept across most of the treetop.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Dante immediately spread his wings and flew away. Sareth flew behind Roy vigilantly, but Roy, who was in the center of the explosion, did not move. He only raised his hand and set up a thick black ice wall in front of him as a defense.
Boom! An enormous explosion and flash appeared high in the sky. It was as dazzling as a small sun in the sky above Red Grave City. After the explosion, a gigantic mushroom cloud slowly rose, but the spatial barrier, which had always existed around the entire tree crown, blocked it after it rose for a distance. This barrier restrained the entirety of the explosion and its impact.
As a result, even though Dante flew away, he could not completely escape. At the edge, he still suffered from the impact, was sent flying by the immense force, and smashed into the barrier.
Sareth, who was hiding behind Roy, was safe and sound because Roy’s ice wall had blocked all of the impact and the explosion.
After the explosion, the entire barrier was full of countless ashes. They were the dust produced by the destruction of innumerable roots of the Qliphoth.
The ground collapsed. Urizen’s magic power explosion had almost totally destroyed the spiral ground formed by the tree crown. Only the place where Urizen stood was still intact. Roy flapped his wings and floated in the air while holding Sareth with one hand. After Sareth reacted and started flying on his own, Roy let go of him.
Amid the dust and smoke, vision was terrible. Roy stretched out his hand to summon Frostmourne and then swung it at the sky. An invisible spatial power slashed out with the blade, and the next second, there was the sound of glass shattering. Roy had destroyed the barrier that Urizen had set up.
Roy casually summoned a strong gust of wind and blew away the smoke and dust permeating the air. He shook his head at Urizen, who had reappeared. “Are you blinded by anger? You actually destroyed the ground even though you don’t have wings? Is it possible that you want to fight an aerial battle with me?”
Urizen was panting heavily at this moment. Releasing a large amount of magic power in an instant had been a huge burden for him. After hearing Roy’s words, Urizen smiled sinisterly. “That damn brat used the hell apple as an offering to you. This was an enormous mistake on my part. Indeed, without the extraordinary power of the hell apple, I can’t achieve a perfect state. But don’t think that I’ll fail like this!”
“Oh? So you still have a backup plan?” Roy laughed and stretched out his hand. “Go ahead!”
Urizen did not say anything else. He knelt down on one knee and pressed his hands on the ground. The area where he stood could be said to be the only remaining trunk of the Qliphoth. After losing the gigantic tree crown, the Qliphoth looked like a twisted needle, and Urizen was standing on the tip of this needle.
A massive magic power flowed out from Urizen’s arms and poured into the Qliphoth. A blue magic power light quickly flowed down. After receiving the infusion of magic power, the Qliphoth immediately made a tremendous commotion.
When the Qliphoth grew, it had spiraled upward, causing its bark to look distorted. With the infusion of Urizen’s magic power, the entire trunk of the Qliphoth began to twist vigorously. The originally thick and solid trunk was now twisting together tightly and shrinking.
It was as though someone was twisting a towel with all their might, and the violent movement made the entire tree creak.
The demons parasitizing and living in the Qliphoth immediately became unlucky. The inner space of the Qliphoth compressed, and they could not even escape. They screamed as they were crushed to death by the closing space. After they died, the Qliphoth instantly absorbed their blood and souls and then transmitted them upward to the top of the tree to flow into Urizen’s body.
Although Sareth had used the plague storm to wipe out a large number of low-level demons, there were still many demons in the Qliphoth. Even some high-rank demons could not escape this misfortune. Even though they were desperately fleeing and swinging their weapons, the Qliphoth still killed them.
The Qliphoth had completely turned into a gigantic juicer at this moment as it continuously absorbed the blood and souls of the demons and then fed them to Urizen.
After receiving the blood and souls, Urizen’s body swelled again, and his muscles bulged as though they were about to explode. The powerful magic power that permeated his body even formed a layer of magic power flames that swayed and burned on his body.
The tremendous movement of the Qliphoth caused Nero and V, who were climbing, to be unable to continue moving forward. Both of them could not hold on to the tree and fell from the sky. As they tumbled down, Nero pulled out Red Queen, and V used his cane. The two weapons stabbed the tree trunk, preventing them from falling and becoming meat pies.
They could not stay on this tree anymore, so they could only fall to the ground.
As for Nico, she was desperately driving on the constantly shrinking road. Her car was carrying Trish and Lady. After being rescued, Trish and Lady were unable to participate in the battle because they had lost their strength. Nico had planned to leave with them, but unexpectedly, this huge change happened on the way.
Seeing that they were about to be unable to escape and were about to be squeezed by the Qliphoth, a figure suddenly flew over and carried Nico’s car. Then he smashed a big hole in the tree bark and escaped with Nico and the others.
Needless to say, this figure was naturally Dante in the Sin Devil Trigger state. He did not intervene in the battle between Urizen and Roy. After the destruction of the barrier and the mutation of the Qliphoth, Dante instantly realized that things were bad. He remembered that Trish and Lady were still in Nico’s car, so he immediately flew to find them. Fortunately, he reacted in time. If he had been just a little slower, the three women in this car would have been squeezed into juice…
After Dante brought the car back to the ground and put it down, Lady and the others recognized that this four-winged demon was Dante and quickly poked their heads out of the car windows to ask, “Dante?! What happened?!”
“It’s a long story!” Dante said in a deep voice. “In short, Sareth summoned his foster father, and his foster father forced Urizen into a corner, so Urizen is ready to stake everything!”
“…” The three women were dumbfounded as they said in disbelief, “Sareth’s foster father is really so fierce?! ”
“You might be able to see it in a while!” Dante raised his head and looked at the collapsing Qliphoth. “The battle will eventually return to the ground… You should drive away first.”
“Why didn’t you say it earlier?!” When Nico heard this, she immediately changed gears and stepped on the accelerator.
She was only a logistician. Of course, she had to run away in such a dangerous situation. But as she drove, she noticed an enormous three-headed hellhound running away with all its might…
The constantly twisting Qliphoth not only drained the blood essence of the demons in the tree, but it also exhausted its remaining life force. As the tree trunk became thinner and thinner, many parts were beginning to show signs of eroding. Countless fine particles drifted from the trunk, causing the once complete trunk to become full of holes and incomplete.
After another few minutes, the entire Qliphoth turned grayish-white and collapsed with a loud cracking sound. The human militaries witnessed this scene through satellites. Although they did not know what happened, this demon tree finally collapsed. This was good news…
With a loud bang, it was as though a magnitude 8 to 9 earthquake had struck Red Grave City. However, this tremoring only lasted for a moment because the collapsed tree trunk turned into flying ashes after smashing into the ground.
In the ruins, Urizen slowly stood up. His body became as large as Roy’s, and the immense amount of surging power gave him infinite confidence. He looked up at the sky.
Roy was flapping his demon wings slightly as he landed from the air. But this time, he was not the only one landing. A few more figures appeared above him.
One was the graceful fallen angel Julia with black flame wings burning on her back, another was the bewitching succubus Benia with reverse demon wings, and the last was Cassandra, who was wearing lich robes and full of cold aura.
While Urizen was extracting the power of the demons, the three of them had descended from the spatial channel…
“Oh, hehehe…” Benia was holding a flame whip in her hand. After landing, she sized up Urizen. “Darling, I didn’t expect to encounter someone provoking you as soon as I descended into this world. It seems like the demons of this world have been isolated from the Abyss for too long, and there are many ignorant fellows…”
Julia did not say anything. She and Cassandra were surrounding Sareth to check on him.
Not far away, Dante saw their appearances. Only then did he know that Sareth had not been bragging. He really had three mothers with different styles…
Just by Looking at them, Dante knew that Sareth’s three mothers would not be easy to deal with.
Dante looked at the demon sword in his hand and felt uneasy. If Sareth and his family mess around in this world, will I be able to chase them back alone?
The only thing he was thankful for now was that he did not become enemies with this brat when he first saw Sareth… Otherwise, Yurizen would not be the only one in trouble…
