BXBX NOVEL Chapter 328 Entrust
Chapter 328 Entrust
Demons were experts at playing with souls, so things like possessing a body were easy.
But in fact, few demons would do this. The reason was naturally very simple—the compatibility between the soul and the body.
Since Roy had experienced the soul replacement event of the illusion demon César, he was well aware of what kind of adverse consequences there would be if a demon rashly placed their soul into a body that was not so compatible. Moreover, generally speaking, if the body did not obtain the corresponding power, even if the demon changed bodies, they would fall into a pit instead.
Kha-Beleth’s body was now destroyed, but he had signed a contract with the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash, so his soul did not return to the Abyss. The Ouroborus Mark was naturally unable to reconstruct his body, so if he did not want to survive in such a dangerous soul state, he would have to find another body.
Logically speaking, the Dark Messiah had half of Kha-Beleth’s bloodline, so this child was definitely the best choice for his soul because the compatibility would be very high.
However, Kha-Beleth was not an ignorant fellow like the illusion demon César. He should be clear that even with the names of the Dark Messiah and the Child of Taboo, it could not hide the fact that he was a baby. If he possessed the body of the Dark Messiah, then Kha-Beleth would become a one to two-feet-long baby from a gigantic flame beast, which would be nothing short of a nightmare for him.
In addition, the Dark Messiah was an essential tool in his plan, so Roy was certain that if he wanted to possess a body, there was a high chance that he would not target the Dark Messiah and might instead target others. There were many targets to choose from, such as Cassandra, Julia, Benia, Giovanni, and Rafaro. They all had formidable dark power, and they should be among Kha-Beleth’s first choices, especially Julia. She also knew how to use the power of flames and was the most compatible with Kha-Beleth. Although Roy suspected that Kha-Beleth would mind becoming a woman, it was not impossible if he was desperate...
Thus, Roy had to rush over as soon as possible. He had finally set up a trap to this extent, so of course, he was unwilling to let Kha-Beleth cause any trouble at the last moment...
Standing on the spot, Roy opened the system interface and began to make an MP Potion. After consuming more than a hundred souls, Roy created a potion that could restore a small amount of his magic power and then downed
it.
After drinking this magic power potion, although it was a drop in the bucket for his total magic power, it still nourished his exhausted magic power. Along with the enhancement of the Cold Winter Armor, his magic power began to rise rapidly.
It only took about a minute or two. When Roy estimated that he had enough magic power, he activated Teleport.
With a flash, Roy disappeared and appeared beside Fat Tiger in the next second.
At this time, Kha-Beleth’s soul had yet to fly to this battlefield... The flight speed of his soul was too slow. If he knew that Roy had such a precise teleportation bound to Fat Tiger, perhaps he would not be coming to this battlefield...
As for Roy, when he teleported to Fat Tiger’s side, he saw Gem and Zehir leading the alliance army to attack the col.
As expected, Roy had guessed right. To Gem and the others, what was important was Queen Isabel. She was the spiritual symbol of the kingdom of Erathia, and they could not afford to lose her. As for the Son of Darkness in her stomach, he was the object that they had to eliminate!
Therefore, after discovering the birth of the Dark Messiah, Gem and Zehir immediately reached a consensus. They split a portion of their troops and attacked Roy’s army. They broke through the defense line and attacked toward where Cassandra and Fat Tiger were, vowing to eliminate the Dark Messiah.
In a cave deep in the col, Cassandra was waiting for Isabel. The moment Isabel started giving birth, she woke up from her coma. But she had no time to be surprised by the lich guarding beside her The severe abdominal pain was making her sweat profusely.
Fortunately, this terrifying-looking lich did not harm her. Instead, she squatted down to deliver her baby, causing Isabel to have some trust in Cassandra.
The power of darkness spread in the cave. After Isabel gave birth to the Dark Messiah, she was so exhausted that she was about to collapse. The most frightening thing was that she knew what kind of child she had given birth to!
If the Dark Messiah looked like a demon, then perhaps Isabel would grit her teeth and use the umbilical cord to strangle this child! Don’t doubt her resoluteness. She was the queen of Erathia. If she did not even have this awareness, she would not have been able to sit in this position... Unfortunately, after the Dark Messiah was born, he looked like a human baby and was very cute...
As Isabel looked at the child’s cute appearance, her heart softened. Even though he was the result of no emotions, Isabel was his mother, and the radiance of humanity covered her fear at this moment. She lowered her head, and with tears streaming down her face, she kissed the forehead of the Dark Messiah. Then she looked up at Cassandra. “The child is innocent. Please, don’t hurt him, okay?” Isabel begged Cassandra.
Cassandra did not say anything but quietly looked at Isabel holding her child. After a while, she said, “Do you really want to keep him?”
“I don’t know either...” Isabel’s eyes were confused, and tears fell uncontrollably. “Perhaps... this is his fate...”
“Have you thought it through? He may become someone who destroys your world in the future!” Cassandra said. “He will bring massive panic to the entire world. He will become an existence stronger than a demon lord!”
“But he’s still human now!” Isabel suddenly said with certainty. “He’s my child, and he has the bloodline of the Griffin Kingdom. As long as he’s taught well, who can guarantee that he won’t become a sword to kill demons?!”
Cassandra did not say anything else. She knew that this might be an excuse for the mother to convince her.
Isabel hugged the Dark Messiah, and her face glowed with motherly brilliance. But in Cassandra’s perception, Isabel’s life was flowing away at an unimaginable speed. After all, the Dark Messiah was not a baby born normally. He had absorbed a large amount of life force to be born, and there was naturally the life force of Isabel, the mother. Now that the Dark Messiah was born, it also meant that Isabel’s life was about to come to an end...
Isabel probably understood this herself, so she treasured the last moments she spent with her child.
Cassandra did not disturb her. Instead, she walked to the entrance of the cave and watched Fat Tiger guarding the path and fighting the alliance army. On a rare occasion, the alliance army had temporarily joined forces with Kha-Beleth’s demon army. The alliance army wanted to kill the Dark Messiah, while Kha-Beleth’s demon army wanted to snatch back the Dark Messiah. But whether it was to kill or snatch him back, they needed to see the Dark Messiah first.
The troops on Roy’s side were under immense pressure at this moment. Julia and Benia were fighting against Gem and Zehir, while Rafaro and Giovanni were fighting against the alliance army’s dragons and flying demons. After this chaotic battle evolved to this extent, there were already signs of it getting out of control. On the mountain path, Fat Tiger was one dog holding the pass against ten thousand enemies. His massive body was comparable to that of Kha-Beleth, and he was the best city wall here. He would bite and crush to death anyone who tried to get past him. But correspondingly, Fat Tiger suffered a lot of damage. Countless arrows and countless magic attacks continuously rained down on his enormous body. If not for Fat Tiger’s strong defense, he would have long been unable to hold on
Just as Cassandra was hesitating about whether she should help, she saw a flash of light beside Fat Tiger. Roy appeared!
The moment Roy appeared, he was floating in the air. The demon wings on his back spread to the limit, and the demon runes on his wings were glowing. He did not roar as the huge Halo of Fear spread out, instantly covering a large area and causing the enemies besieging Fat Tiger to fall into chaos.
Demon Osiris appeared, but Demon Lord Kha-Beleth was nowhere to be seen. This scene made Gem and Zehir feel as though their hearts were dying.
On the contrary, the morale of Roy’s troops rose, especially Rafaro’s. After seeing Roy appear, he realized that Roy had won the battle against the demon lord. So he let out an earth-shaking dragon roar, bared his fangs, brandished his claws, pounced ferociously at the gold dragons and green dragons in the sky, and absorbed their life force wantonly. He could not wait to complete his final resurrection ritual...
Roy’s magic power had not fully recovered, so he did not do much. But because of his appearance, the counterattack against the alliance army and the demon army began.
In the cave, Cassandra felt relieved when she saw this scene. She walked back and came to Isabel.
At this moment, Isabel only had a trace of vitality left. She knew that her death was coming, so she looked at Cassandra with pleading eyes and handed the Dark Messiah in her arms to her. “I know that you were once a human, so... can you take care of this child for me? Regardless of whether he becomes a human or a demon in the future, I only want him to grow up healthy...” Cassandra stood in a daze for a while, seemingly not expecting that Isabel would entrust this child to her. But looking at the child’s sleeping appearance, Cassandra could not help but take the child.
Cassandra stared blankly at the baby in her arms for a while before asking, “Does he... have a name?”
“Sareth! Call him Sareth...” As Isabel spoke, her voice became softer and softer. Finally, she fell into eternal slumber.
After she died, a dazzling golden noble soul emerged. This soul passed through the top of the cave and slowly moved toward the sky. In the sky, the light of the soul was like a real sun...
