Chapter 522: Battle of the Power of Authority (Final)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Countless demons and monsters swarmed in from the opened portals like a flood.
Apart from some of these demons that were summoned directly from the Burning Hells, the rest were almost all from all over Sanctuary. Diablo and the other demon kings had been operating in Sanctuary for many years, and the dark power they left behind had corrupted a large number of creatures, causing the number of monsters to be astonishing. Roy’s Demon Eyes had stayed in the wilderness, and once he opened portals, they attracted these guys.
Even ordinary monsters, out of disgust for the power of holy light, couldn’t help but charge with the demons after arriving in the High Heavens. With such a large number of demons and monsters gathered together, the contamination of dark power was terrifying. This dark power in turn stimulated their bloodthirsty instincts, so on the battlefield, the army of the dark camp was crazily launching tsunami-like attacks on the Silver City.
Buzz! The moment the demon and monster army rushed to the city wall of the Silver City, they immediately activated the protective barrier of the entire city. The golden holy light formed an enormous semicircular shield in the blink of an eye and enveloped the entire city. The first thing the demons and monsters hit was this shield.
But this shield couldn’t push the demons and monsters away. The demons and monsters burned by the holy light were in excruciating pain and couldn’t retreat at all because there were waves of demons and monsters constantly surging behind them. In the situation where they couldn’t retreat, they could only go crazy. They either smashed with their weapons, bit with their sharp teeth, or slashed with their claws. Some magic creatures shot countless magic missiles at the shield. In short, they used all means to attack this holy light shield.
Roy had spread his Demon Eyes across the entire battlefield, which was equivalent to surrounding the entire Silver City in all directions. This way, the contact area was larger, and more demons and monsters would immediately come into contact with the holy light barrier and attack it. Even though the holy light barrier of Silver City was very powerful, its energy quickly depleted when facing so many demons and monsters attacking it at the same time.
Fortunately, the angel army of the Silver City reacted at this moment. A large number of angel warriors flapped their wings and flew into the sky with their weapons in hand. They crossed the city wall and rushed toward the demons and monsters outside. In order to reduce the pressure on the barrier, they could only place the battlefield outside.
However, doing this meant that they couldn’t enjoy the protection of the barrier. The armies of both sides fought ferociously on the battlefield. At every moment, flesh was flying, and blood was spraying. The scenes of demons and monsters being cut open and the scenes of angels turning into light and dissipating after being besieged were playing all over the battlefield.
The battle entered a white-hot state from the beginning…
Imperius and Tyrael wanted to command the army to fight. Especially Imperius, he was the supreme commander of the entire High Heavens. But before he could shout and give orders, Roy entangled them.
Instead of passively defending like earlier, Roy took the initiative to attack this time. The enormous mist wings behind him flapped, and black flames appeared all over the sky. The black flames dispersed the clouds within thousands of meters and rolled toward the four Archangels.
If they dared to dodge, this massive hellfire cloud would smash into the barrier of the Silver City, so Imperius and the others could only choose to join forces to block the hellfire cloud. They activated their archangel weapons and formed a circular shield in the air to block the path of the hellfire cloud.
The flames collided with their golden holy light shield, and the powers of darkness and holy collided, erupting with a massive shock wave. Some demons and monsters nearby were instantly burned into ashes. The angels flying in the sky couldn’t escape in time, and they turned into light as their painful roars resounded. Even their armor melted into liquid and dripped to the ground.
In just a collision of power, the area within tens of kilometers of the battle between the two sides was completely cleared. The demons avoided this area in fear, and the angels flew around this area as soon as possible. No creature dared to approach.
Relying on the power of holy light, the four Archangels offset the hellfire wave that Roy set off. But before they could catch their breath, the lightning that Roy had thrown out exploded in the air again. Countless thin black lightning bolts erupted in a circular area. This was a psionic storm that imitated the skill of the Protoss high templars. The dark lightning power that went straight to the soul continuously wreaked havoc in this area, and countless lightning bolts bombarded the holy light shields of the four Archangels every second.
Imperius and the others were struggling to hold on, but this psionic storm lasted for more than five minutes before finally dissipating. Defending against the black lightning consumed more energy than against ordinary lightning. They had consumed a massive amount of holy light power to resist it. The moment the storm dissipated, the light wings on the four Archangels’ backs had dimmed a lot.
Looking up, the four Archangels found that they were surrounded by the ink-like mist flowing around Roy, as though they had entered his body.
“Not good! Quickly rush out!” Imperius shouted. He brought Tyrael, Auriel, and Itherael to find a direction and wanted to break out. But after rushing for a short distance, Roy’s demon king face suddenly appeared in the mist in front of them. Three gray rays of light burst out from his three demon eyes and attacked the three Archangels behind Imperius.
This gray light shot out at the speed of light, so fast that no one could react in time. The holy light shield that Auriel and the other two activated was immediately penetrated by this gray light. The light hit their bodies directly and triggered an intense explosion that blasted the three of them flying backward.
Imperius, who was alone, turned around and saw this scene. Before he could check on the three of them, he felt his heart palpitate. He quickly turned his head and blocked with the Spear of Valor in front of him.
An enormous mist claw clenched into a fist and smashed into Imperius’s spear shaft. The moment it hit, the fist turned into a physical entity, and then a powerful force erupted. Roy’s gigantic body strengthened his strength, and after the Red Dragon Emperor’s Gauntlet doubled his strength again, it formed an irresistible force! The spear shaft of the Spear of Valor bent ninety degrees the moment it was hit, and the transmitted force crashed into Imperius’s chest armor and finally sent him flying!
All the angels and demons paying attention to this battlefield saw Imperius being sent flying out of the mist formed by Roy’s body, turning into a stream of light that shot into the sky and disappeared like a star.
Conservatively speaking, Roy’s attack could send him flying hundreds of kilometers away, which was beyond the vision of most creatures…
“Damn it!!” After Auriel was blasted away by the gray light, the first thing she saw when she regained her bearings was the scene of Imperius being sent flying. Her calm and harmonious voice couldn’t help changing. She held her longsword and spear and rushed at Roy. As she approached the mist, the length of the Cord of Hope wrapped around her arms suddenly increased, and it wrapped around Roy’s enormous mist body from both sides.
These long ropes seemed to be able to extend indefinitely as they quickly rotated and wrapped around Roy’s body. At the same time, the entire Cord of Hope emitted a blue brilliance.
This blue light formed a power similar to a barrier, blocking the spread of Roy’s mist body and restricting the invisible and intangible mist within the binding.
“Huh?!” Roy was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Auriel to have such a move. At this moment, he felt as though he was sealed in a mummy. The mist body was trapped in a humanoid body and couldn’t escape for a while.
At the same time, Tyrael flew over with a roar. He held El’druin in his hand and stabbed the sword into a gap in the Cord of Hope. He gathered powerful holy light power at the tip of the sword and then detonated the holy light power inside the mummy!
Boom! The holy light condensed from all the power of an Archangel erupted, and countless golden rays of light leaked out from the gaps of the Cord of Hope, making the mummy body bounding Roy look like an object with light leaking from all sides. Then there was an earth-shaking explosion!
However, Auriel gritted her teeth, mustered her strength, and used the Cord of Hope to restrain all the explosive power in the body, further intensifying the destructive power of the holy light.
“Was it effective?” Auriel asked Tyrael, who was still holding his sword inserted into the humanoid body after the explosion.
“I don’t know…” Tyrael was unsure and shook his head. “Should we open it and take a look?”
“No, we can’t open it!” Itherael’s voice came. “I saw the scene of him escaping…”
Hearing this, Tyrael cursed, “Damn it! One more time!”
But before he could finish speaking, the body wrapped in the Cord of Hope moved. The right hand of the body grabbed Tyrael’s neck, and a ball of hellfire rose from where Tyrael was strangled and began burning his head!
Tyrael desperately tried to break free from the grip, but the force coming from this hand was extraordinary, and he couldn’t break free for a while.
“Auriel, what’s going on?!” Itherael asked anxiously.
“He… he’s resisting the binding power of the Cord of Hope inside!” Auriel said with difficulty. She was desperately trying to control her Cord of Hope, but the resistance coming from inside was getting stronger and stronger, and she was starting to lose control of it.
“Hold on!” Itherael shouted as he flapped his wings and flew toward Tyrael and Roy as the Scroll of Fate in his hand turned into a golden hammer. He swung the hammer fiercely and smashed it on the wrist of the humanoid body. With this violent smash and Auriel’s cooperation, they finally rescued Tyrael.
Only then was Tyrael able to use holy light power to completely extinguish the hellfire burning on his face. But in just a short while, his face was already burned beyond recognition. He and Itherael looked at the humanoid body wrapped in a ball that was struggling to fight for control with Auriel, and they didn’t know how to attack for a moment.
But at this moment, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up under Auriel’s hollow hood.
She seemed to have received some kind of enlightenment as she shouted at
Itherael, “Exile him!! I see it. He can be exiled!”
After hearing the shout, Itherael and Tyrael didn’t even think about it. One held the hilt of his sword, and the other turned the Scroll of Fate into a scepter and pressed it on the humanoid body. The two of them chanted the expulsion incantation at the same time.
The expulsion incantation was also known as the banishment incantation. To be honest, neither Tyrael nor Itherael had used this move for a long time. If not for Auriel’s reminder, they would have forgotten that there was such a move. But Auriel must have seen a ‘miracle’ to make them do this, so they chose to believe her without hesitation.
Although they didn’t know Roy’s true demon name, the incantation was still effective when the two Archangels joined forces to expel him. The bound
humanoid body began to become illusory, and Roy, sealed inside the body, would soon be repelled by the material world and then exiled into the Void.
Back then, Lilith had been exiled by Inarius like this…
Seeing the body becoming illusory, Auriel prepared to cut off her Cord of Hope. Although doing so would cause her to lose a portion of her Cord of Hope and might even destroy this archangel weapon, she was still prepared to do this to achieve her goal.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened. An immense force came and pulled Auriel over. Although the Cord of Hope was binding Roy’s mist body, the source came from Auriel. Under Roy’s immense force, she was pulled in front of him. Before ‘IYrael and Itherael could react and stop it, a ferocious longsword suddenly appeared in Roy’s hand.
Frostmourne!!
With a swish, the tip of Frostmourne pierced into Auriel’s abdomen, and then the Expulsion incantation on the sword activated!
“Come with me, Angel of Hope Auriel…” Roy’s sinister laughter came from the bound body, and Auriel’s body became illusory.
“No!!” Tyrael and Itherael roared at the same time. They wanted to reach out and grab Auriel, but it was too late.. Roy and Auriel disappeared in front of them…
