Chapter 318 Excited Kha-Beleth
At this moment, on the battlefield of Ur-Hekal, the alliance army could only be described as having suffered a crushing defeat! Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth’s Annihilation Cage firmly confined the entire battlefield.
The alliance army could not escape and could only muster the greatest courage to charge toward Kha-Beleth and fight against the demons resolutely. But no matter how much self-sacrificing spirit they had and how strong their fighting spirit was, in front of the endless flood of demons, they were still smashed into pieces like waves crashing into a reef.
And Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth was that reef! He stood in the middle of the battlefield and did not move at all, but there was no attack that could shake him. All the arrows flying at him would spontaneously ignite when they were hundreds of meters away and then burn down. All the magic cast against him would collide against a powerful magic shield and disappear.
He, whose entire body was burning with flames, was like a candle luring moths to charge at him continuously, which then burned to death and fell one by one... The soldiers under them fell one by one, but Gem, Zehir, and the others could not worry about so much. They desperately joined forces to bombard all kinds of powerful magic at Kha-Beleth, but it had little effect. In the end, they only exhausted their magic power. Seeing that magic attacks were not working, Gorshak roared, brandished his battle-ax, and led a team of elite orcs to attack Kha-Beleth. His appearance finally made Kha-Beleth, who hated orcs, move a little.
But this movement was only Kha-Beleth picking up his terrifying demon sword and swinging it. The next moment, a flame wave cut the still running Gorshak, along with his troops, into two...
Gorshak died before he could not even get close to Kha-Beleth...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe thousand-year-old gold dragons and green dragons that Gem brought had already mostly perished. They could have become a significant force in attacking Kha-Beleth, but in the end, they were ripped apart by countless demons flying in the sky. Even though these dragons had survived a thousand years of battle, they still ultimately did not escape death.
The corpses of the alliance army and demons had already piled up on the battlefield. The smell of blood was so thick that it permeated the battlefield and did not dissipate, stimulating the demons to become more bloodthirsty and the alliance forces to lose their rationality. Gem and the others had thought that a demon lord was only merely stronger than a high-rank demon, but it was only now that they realized that this was not only a little bit more powerful. Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth displayed a strength that made them feel despair.
Back then, it was not without reason that the Seventh Dragon Sar-Elam had sealed these demon lords in the prison that was Sheogh. As long as he could have eliminated them, he would not have chosen to seal them. After Sar-Elam sealed the demon lords, the Ashan world had indeed avoided the misfortune of being destroyed. But at the same time, it also caused Gem and the others, who had experienced the power of a demon lord for the first time, to be totally dominated by fear and despair... “I’m going to die. I’m really going to die!” Zehir muttered to himself, using this method to relieve his immense pressure. “I haven’t inherited the throne yet...”
Gem, who was annoyed by his whining, could not help but scold, “Shut up! If you can’t eliminate Kha-Beleth, your country will be ruined. How would there be any throne for you to inherit?! If you have time to whine, why don’t you use the Phantom Forces spell again? The left-wing troops are about to collapse, so you can at least give them some support!”
Zehir did not say anything as he watched the titans constantly attack Kha-Beleth in the distance, but he did not care at all. He thought that since they were all going to die here, it did not matter whether he supported the troops or not. “I wonder if Raelag has escaped!” Gem suddenly sighed. “That Armageddon just now should have been cast by Xeron. He also has to protect Isabel from such a large-range attack. I’m afraid it will be difficult to escape...”
Yes, even though the Annihilation Cage enveloped them, Gem and the others still saw the earth-shaking enormous meteorite that fell. When the meteorite landed, they felt the strong tremor even from Ur-Hekal.
“So what if you’re worried?” Zehir rolled his eyes. “Besides believing in him, can you do anything else?”
“The only good news is that Raelag is probably making Xeron anxious. Otherwise, Xeron wouldn’t have used a spell like Armageddon!” Gem said. “That’s a spell where both sides suffer. The meteorites that crash down can’t tell who the enemy is... By forcing Xeron to use Armageddon, it means that Raelag should have the upper hand. I hope he can survive and escape with Isabel. This way, our sacrifice will be worth it...”
Because they did not know what the battle situation in the distance was, Gem and the others could only use these words to comfort themselves.
Similarly, although Kha-Beleth was standing tall and unmoving, he was actually puzzled in his heart. Of course, he knew that the fleeing Raelag was actually Agrael, a demon who had been under him. He also knew that Agrael was not weak, or else he would not have arrogantly wanted to challenge him. But Agrael seemed to have purified his demon bloodline and become a dark elf. Logically speaking, his strength should have fallen by a lot, so how did he force Xeron into using a big move like Armageddon? Is it possible that Agrael has reinforcements?
Should I send someone to see what’s going on? I can’t just wait like this. If that idiot Xeron messes up again, it’ll take even more effort to recapture Isabel!!
Although he was worried, there was actually a reason why he did not pursue her himself but instead got Xeron to go. As time passed, the barrier of Sheogh gradually weakened. Kha-Beleth was one of the weaker demon lords, so he came out first through the gap in the seal. But his ‘coming out’ was actually to create a weaker clone and have it come out first through the gap, then slowly transfer his power to the clone to achieve his ultimate goal of escaping.
Therefore, in fact, during this period of time, Kha-Beleth had been staying outside the barrier seal in the depths of the earth and was still transferring his power. During the transfer of power, he did not idle. He created a power projection to subdue Xeron and use him for his purposes. He also set up the Dark Messiah plan in order to find a way to break the seal of Sheogh completely and rescue the other demon lords.
However, before he completed the power transfer, Raelag had snuck into the secret room and brought Isabel out. In a hurry, Kha-Beleth could only stop the power transfer and quickly appear to control the situation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnder such circumstances, Kha-Beleth had not actually recovered to his peak state. Moreover, he was cautious, fearing that something unexpected would happen. So after creating the barrier to imprison the alliance army, he had been quietly continuing to complete his power transfer from afar through a magic formation set up in Ur-Hekal.
This transfer method was naturally very inefficient, so during this period, besides occasionally attacking, he was in a defensive state and could not move far away. The alliance army could not shake him, but something seemed to have happened to Xeron, so the first thing that Kha-Beleth thought of was to send someone to check.
However, before he could decide who to send, he suddenly felt a massive amount of magic power appear outside the Annihilation Cage.
Puzzled, he looked up and saw a group of black dots soaring in the sky in the distance through the flame barrier. They were flying toward here. “Is Xeron back? That doesn’t seem right!” Kha-Beleth could only stare at the black dots, wanting to see who they were. Gem and Zehir had always been focusing their attention on Kha-Beleth. After seeing that he was looking up for a long time, the two of them turned their heads to look at the sky.
They naturally saw the group of black dots, but due to the obstruction of the flames, they could not see too clearly. Our reinforcements? No, we don’t have any. It can’t be Raeleg bringing people here, right? the two thought. However, this sudden change attracted both Gem’s group and Kha-Beleth. It was not until this group of black dots finally approached, allowing Gem and the others to see them clearly, that they fell into utter despair. They saw that the one flying at the front was a tall and ferocious demon. The two pairs of demon wings on his back showed his status as a high-rank demon.
And one of his arms was holding a small person. The familiar clothes made Gem and the others immediately recognize that it was Isabel! This instantly reminded them of Demon Osiris that Raelag had mentioned! Damn Raelag, didn’t he say that he injured Demon Osiris? Great, this unexpected demon has really become the straw that crushes everyone... It’s over. Raelag is probably dead, and Demon Osiris captured Isabel!
For a moment, Gem and the others were heartbroken. All their strategic plans had turned into smoke...
On the contrary, when Kha-Beleth saw Roy and Isabel in his arms clearly, his arrogant laughter instantly resounded throughout the entire battlefield. “Hahahaha! Well done, well done! Osiris, I didn’t expect you to give me a surprise!” Kha-Beleth had never seen Roy before, but Xeron had mentioned Roy to him. Seeing this unfamiliar face, he immediately guessed who Roy was...
