Chapter 232 Entry Battle (1)
The moment they saw this four-winged demon, the hearts of all the archmages present skipped a beat.
What they were afraid of came! They had dealt with the demons of Sheogh and knew that four-winged demons were at least powerful high-level demons!
It had to be known that this Heroes of Might and Magic world was not like the Darksiders world, where a demon king led a group of demon lords to trigger the End War. In the Heroes of Might and Magic world, the strongest among the demons present was only a demon lord, Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth. And every high-rank demon under Kha-Beleth was a demon hero that made the native residents here change expression.
Therefore, even though it was not like what was written in some knight novels and what Dragon Balls sealed was not a demon king but a high-rank demon, it still made the mages panic.
Similarly, Roy, who opened the Gate of the Abyss and got out, was stunned when he saw the scene. He looked at the Dragon Balls on the ground, then at the stunned group of people dressed as mages not far away, and then at the surrounding Tower troops anxiously gathering, and he instantly understood what was going on.
He originally thought that the person who collected the Dragon Balls would try to use them alone in some deep mountain or remote forest. Unexpectedly, that situation did not happen. Instead, a group of mages had gathered the dragon balls.
Thinking of this, Roy could not help but grin. Great, isn’t this great? These Tower mages must have collected knowledge about spatial magic, right?
It did not matter if he grinned like this, but when the archmages saw this, they could not help but shiver. It could not be helped. Roy was a demon, and the sharp teeth in his mouth made his grin look sinister. The demon’s sinister grin gave the mages the feeling that ‘the demon’s scheme has succeeded’.
“Attack… attack (broken voice)!!!” a mage shouted hoarsely after reacting.
The next second, countless metal chain balls flew at Roy! They were the attacks of the gremlins. These short and ridiculous gremlins had strength that did not match their figures. They swung the metal balls weighing several kilograms and threw them at Roy at an extremely high speed.
Roy floated in the air and slowly stretched out his hand to grab at the air lightly, leaving traces of magic power light! Thump! Thump! Thump! A few enormous black ice walls appeared in front of Roy. All the metal chain balls thrown by the gremlins slammed into these ice walls. The seemingly heavy chain balls did not even make a crack on the ice walls. The kinetic impact of the balls was all absorbed by the ice walls, and they could not exceed the absorption threshold
The first wave of attacks did not have any effect, but the other troops of the Tower army also rushed up. The iron golems walked on the ground and surrounded Roy in a group. The djinns pulled out their long sabers from their waists and flew into the sky with the stone gargoyles, attempting to block Roy’s movements from above. The nagas followed behind the iron golems while waving their serpentine scimitars in preparation to attack.
As for the archmages, they were frantically waving their staffs in preparation to strike Roy.
With just one glance, Roy swept the battle scene into his eyes. He laughed wildly as he suddenly stretched out his huge demon wings in midair!
With the surge of magic power, the faint light of demon runes lit up on the wings of frost and darkness. The invisible Halo of Fear spread out in an instant, enveloping all of Ulambus!
The first ones to bear the brunt were the archmages in the square. They were quickly chanting their most familiar spells, but Roy’s Halo of Fear corroded them, causing an immense sense of panic to appear in their hearts inexplicably. Even though the mages, who practiced magic, had powerful mental strength, they were still overwhelmed by this fear. They screamed in horror involuntarily and immediately interrupted their chanting.
Next were the gremlins and nagas, who were the long-range troops. The gremlins’ performance was the worst. The moment the fear struck, they threw down the chain balls in their hands and turned around to escape. The nagas were slightly better, but they also trembled, and their shaking hands almost could not even grip their weapons properly…
Roy’s Halo of Fear had a fairly large impact on weak-willed creatures, but it had very little effect on the iron golems, djinns, and stone gargoyles. The iron golems and gargoyle were simply puppets without consciousness, so they would not be affected by fear. As for the djinns, they were elementals and very resistant to this kind of spiritual erosion.
The stone gargoyles and the djinns attacked Roy, swooping down from above. The gargoyles attacked with their sharp claws and teeth while the djinns slashed their sabers at Roy!
However, when Roy released the Halo of Fear, he knew that these creatures would not be affected, so he was already prepared. When the gargoyles and the djinns attacked him, Roy slowly stretched out his index finger and hooked it at the sky!
Boom! A massive Ice Storm erupted from the center of the square! Black ice and snow condensed into a high-speed spinning tornado that howled straight into the sky. The stone gargoyles and djinns in its range only lasted for two seconds before freezing into large ice lumps in midair. Then, as the tornado swept up, they soared into the sky! When they reached the top, and the power of the storm weakened, they fell.
Hundreds of stone gargoyles and djinns turned into huge hailstones that crashed onto the ground with strong momentum, making loud thumping sounds. The bodies of the gargoyles were solid, and after they hit the ground, they naturally broke into pieces along with the ice. But the djinns managed to escape. They were elementals, and after their bodies shattered, they immediately turned into clusters of air and reformed.
Roy’s Ice Storm had eliminated all the gargoyles. This point did not surprise him. In his impression, the gremlins and stone gargoyles were only the low-level units of the Tower faction. On the other hand, the djinns seemed to be the backbone of the Tower faction.
However, the reassembled djinns were not completely fine. Although they were not affected by the low temperature of the frost, they were still corroded by the Magic Power Virus. Elementals like them contained magic power in their bodies, which was the best carrier for the destruction of the Magic Power Virus. All the reassembled djinns were stained with black spots, and their bodies were shrinking. Moreover, this shrinking was still intensifying. They moved slowly as they raised the sabers in their hands with difficulty and unrelentingly tried to rush forward. But some of them were corroded by the Magic Power Virus halfway and whirled while turning into air that eventually turned into lamps…
Boom! A huge fireball flew from the side, passed through the gaps of the ice walls, and hit Roy’s body.
It was an explosive fireball magic released by an archmage who had awakened from his fear. When the sneak attack hit Roy, the mage could not help gasping and laughing.
But after the flames of the explosion disappeared, Roy’s uninjured body was revealed. Under the cover of the Cold Winter Armor, this mid-level spell could not cause any damage to Roy at all. Instead, the Magic Power Virus in the armor absorbed the magic power of the flames, and the black Cold Winter Amor became increasingly sparkling and translucent…
“How… how is this possible?!” Seeing this scene, the mage who cast the fireball was stunned. After returning to his senses, he quickly ran toward the iron golem troops. As he ran, he reminded the other mages who were gradually waking up. “Find cover. You need to use high-level magic attacks!”
However, before he could run to the iron golem troops for cover, Roy raised his finger and pointed at him.
Sizzle. The air crackled, and a black bolt of lightning burst from Roy’s fingertip. The lightning left a twisted light trail in the air and hit the mage in the blink of an eye!
The next second, all the water in the mage’s body instantly evaporated under high energy and black lightning. His entire body turned into charred carbon particles and collapsed under gravity, causing the air pressing against the ground to emit a soft ‘puff’ sound…
The instant death of an archmage terrified the other mages. They realized that the magic power of this demon was something they were incapable of resisting, so the mages looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding. They immediately scattered in all directions!
They had to run out to seek reinforcements. In Ulambus, there were two high-level archmage heroes, and at the same time, there was a Cloud Temple. The Cloud Temple was high in the sky above the city, and it was an important ceremonial place for the mages to communicate with the titans. At this moment, the two high-level archmage heroes were in the Cloud Temple in the sky. As long as they could come to command the troops, they might be able to fight against this powerful demon…
Roy did not know about this situation. After he killed a few fleeing mages with lightning, he stopped caring. To Roy, he had to pay attention to the mages who possessed magic power, but since they had escaped, there was no threat, so he began to focus on dealing with the nagas.
Roy firmly guarded in front of the Gate of the Abyss, guarding it because Julia and Fat Tiger were going to enter from behind. However, due to the different flows of time in the two worlds, the time they appeared from the Gate of the Abyss was longer than Roy had expected. During this time, Roy could only protect the Gate of the Abyss because he did not know if it would close after being attacked…
