Chapter 319 Scheming Against Each Other
Roy was surprised when he heard Kha-Beleth’s words.
Shouldn’t the first thing Kha-Beleth asks be where Xeron is? Or is Isabel far more important than Xeron to him?
With this thought, Roy arrived outside the flame barrier. He did not try to force his way through but stopped in the air and pretended to be proud as he shouted, “Your Excellency Kha-Beleth, it’s our first time meeting, but I think I’m better than that trash Xeron! Right?” “That’s right!” Kha-Beleth said with satisfaction. “Xeron is trash. He wasted the opportunities I gave him twice. And in the end, it was you who brought Isabel back! Of course, you’re better than him!” Roy laughed. “So, do I have a chance to replace him?”
“Of course!” Kha-Beleth extended out an arm toward Roy. “Come, offer Isabel to me. From now on, you will be the supreme commander of Ur-Hekal. The entire demon army will obey your command!”
Hearing this, the high-rank demon heroes who had fought alongside Xeron were very upset, but no one dared to speak up. “It’s not enough just having authority alone!” Roy shook his head. “Your Excellency, shouldn’t you transfer your promise to Xeron to me?” Hearing this, Kha-Beleth was slightly angry, and he said unhappily, “Osiris, your greed shocks me!” “Don’t I deserve it?” Roy grinned fiercely. “We’re demons!”
Kha-Beleth was somewhat helpless. Indeed, just as Roy said, this was the nature of demons. He could not blame Roy on this point, so he could only nod. “Sure. I promise you. Now give Isabel to me!”
As he spoke, he withdrew the Annihilation Cage so that Roy could enter. “Okay!” Roy nodded. After the blazing flame barrier disappeared, Roy slowly landed. Due to his arrival, the battle between both sides on the battlefield had stopped. The alliance army was currently in a state of collapse and unable to fight. Kha-Beleth also ordered the demon camp to stop their attack for the time being, fearing that they would provoke Gem and the others, causing them to attack Roy, thereby hurting Isabel in his hands. Thus, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Roy walked through the formation of the alliance army, and the soldiers blocking his path subconsciously moved away. No one dared to attack Roy at this time. Currently, with the battle suspended, the soldiers of the alliance army, who had fallen into a desperate situation, suddenly had the thought of survival. Although they knew that they could not escape, it was good to be able to catch their breath and extend the coming of death.
Gem and Zehir stared intently at Isabel in Roy’s hand, wanting to see if she was the true queen. This kind of mentality was very strange, and they were always holding onto the idea of being lucky.
However, Roy’s tall body walked past them without even looking at them. Julia and the others landed behind with the troops and blocked the alliance army’s escape route. Roy came in front of Kha-Beleth and looked up at him. As a demon lord, Kha-Beleth was naturally taller. Roy was two heads shorter than him. Kha-Beleth’s entire body was covered in a fiery red flame armor, making Roy unable to see his true appearance. He only saw Kha-Beleth’s elemental flame face through the gap between his mask. “Your Excellency, it’s a pleasure not to disappoint you!” Roy passed Isabel over with both hands. “Good, very good!” Kha-Beleth’s pair of blazing eyes under the mask flickered with fiery red light, appearing very excited. He was not surprised about Isabel being unconscious. In order to successfully give birth to the Dark Messiah, Isabel, the mother, had most of her life force taken away. The only thing he wanted from the beginning to the end was his demon son, and he had never cared about her life. He stabbed his demon sword into the ground and reached out to receive Isabel. His huge palm gently lifted her.
However, the moment he received Isabel, his other hand suddenly threw a burst of flames at Roy! At this close range, this burst of flames blasted Roy away... This change caused a commotion among the people on the battlefield, but they quickly restrained themselves.
Roy struggled to get up, his face covered in dust, and asked, “Your Excellency, why?!” Kha-Beleth snorted coldly. “Demon Osiris, do you think I don’t know what you’ve done? Xeron didn’t direct that Armageddon just now at the fleeing Agrael, but at you, right? You’ve killed that idiot Xeron, right?!” “So what?” Roy said coldly. “Hmph!” Kha-Beleth looked at Roy and gnashed his teeth. “Who gave you the courage? Without my permission, you killed my follower. And you even dared to use Isabel to threaten me, yet you still want a reward!”
After hearing what Kha-Beleth said, the remaining high-rank demon heroes in the demon camp finally heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that Sovereign Kha-Beleth did not throw Xeron away after using him. Instead, he chose to get Isabel back first before pursuing the blame. This made the demon heroes feel much more at ease. Now that Isabel was in his hands, he had fallen out with Roy. They crossed their arms and looked at Roy in mockery. However, Roy did not show any signs of fear and trepidation in the face of Kha-Beleth’s questioning. Instead, he stood up nonchalantly, patted the dust off his body, and then shook his head. “Sigh. It seems like a demon of unknown origin like me really can’t obtain true trust! If I had known earlier, I would have been better off just attacking immediately!”
After hearing Roy’s words, Kha-Beleth was stunned. “What do you mean?” But before he could understand, an anomaly happened! Isabel, whom he had been holding in his hand, suddenly moved at this moment, and a ball of flames attacked Kha-Beleth!
With a bang, the flames exploded on Kha-Beleth’s face, blocking his line of sight. Then Isabel turned around and quickly took the gigantic demon sword that he had inserted into the ground! After the flames dissipated, Kha-Beleth looked angrily at Isabel, who was running away with his demon sword. And then he discovered that she was not Isabel! It was just a succubus dressed in revealing clothes!
This succubus was none other than Benia!
At this moment, Kha-Beleth fully understood that this was a deception. The Isabel that Osiris brought back was simply a succubus pretending to be her using illusion magic. What was laughable was that he, a dignified demon lord, had not even noticed...
Now that the succubus suddenly attacked and caught him off guard, it allowed her to snatch his weapon away!
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!” The flames all over Kha-Beleth suddenly increased in size, making him look extremely angry. Just as he was about to kill Benia, an ear-piercing sound of wind came. Kha-Beleth looked up alertly and saw that Roy was in midair, emitting a blood-red light, holding a ferocious demon sword in his hand, and slashing at his head.
Kha-Beleth quickly raised his wrist to shield his head. The next second, Roy’s Frostmourne slashed heavily on the gauntlet! Clang! A deep sound resounded throughout the entire battlefield, and an immense gust of wind blew up the surrounding soil. Under the astonished gazes of the countless alliance soldiers and demons, the tremendous force from Roy’s sword actually pressed Kha-Beleth into the ground half a meter deep! Especially the high-rank demon heroes, they never expected this to happen. Kha-Beleth was punishing Demon Osiris a second ago, so why did it suddenly turn into Osiris fighting him directly in the blink of an eye?! “You... you...” Kha-Beleth looked at Roy, who was shrouded in black ice armor at a close range, and said in disbelief, “You actually dared to attack me?!”
“Not only did I attack you, but I also want to kill you!” Roy revealed a sinister smile. He activated the Eyes of Nightmare and launched the fear technique against Kha-Beleth.
Kha-Beleth looked at Roy’s pentagram eyes and suddenly felt flustered. Although he immediately suppressed this fear, it allowed Roy to swing his tail and slam his head fiercely while he was in a daze.
With the enhancement of Bloodlust, Roy’s attack hit solidly and sent Kha-Beleth’s tall body flying. He rolled twice in the air before crashing heavily on the ground. Kha-Beleth was not injured, but he had really lost face. After turning over and getting up, he roared angrily, “Demon Osiris!!! You will pay!!!” No matter how slow he was, Kha-Beleth understood that Osiris wanted to challenge him, a demon lord. He wanted to promote! He could not tolerate it. He had to kill this rebellious challenger mercilessly! After Kha-Beleth roared, he stretched out his hand and began to summon his demon sword.
Generally speaking, demons would integrate a portion of their soul fragments into their weapons, making them easy-to-hand weapons. Kha-Beleth’s demon sword was like this. Because it had fused with his soul fragment, he could summon the weapon back even if he lost it.
However, how could Benia not think of this when she snatched his weapon? After grabbing it, she immediately flew into the distance and handed the demon sword to... Fat Tiger! Fat Tiger took it, and his three big mouths were tightly biting onto Kha-Beleth’s demon sword. Under his tremendous bite force, Kha-Beleth could not make his demon sword fly back! With this delay, Roy flashed behind him and stabbed through a gap in his flame armor. Frostmourne was a divine artifact with strong curse effects. Roy’s intention was only to injure Kha-Beleth first and use the wound to let the curses on the sword invade him, thereby achieving the goal of weakening him. However, when he pierced the sword in, he immediately realized that something was wrong because he did not feel any feedback from the sword piercing into his body...
