Chapter 510 - 510: The Battle between Roy and Tyrael
This was where the Black Soulstone was stored. Because the Black Soulstone imprisoned the souls of the seven demon kings, it emitted an evil aura at all times. Even angels might be contaminated and corrupted by this evil aura, causing Tyrael to be unable to place the Black Soulstone in the High Heavens to look after it. Left with no choice, he could only find the Tomb of Rakkis in Sanctuary to place the Black Soulstone.
Now, there was another thing in this tomb—the imitation Kanai’s Cube.
The people of the New Church of Horadrim were puzzled by Tyrael’s decision because the Tomb of Rakkis had attracted the attacks of the Angel of Death, Malthael, because it stored the Black Soulstone. They didn’t expect that Tyrael would still dare to store things here.
However, their trust in Archangel Tyrael made them choose to carry out the order.
In the entire High Heavens, if there was an angel who had the greatest and most profound influence on the humans of Sanctuary, it was naturally Tyrael. In order to protect humanity, he didn’t hesitate to stand opposite the Archangel of Valor, Imperius. When the entire High Heavens was worried and afraid of the power of the nephalem and wanted to eliminate humanity, only Tyrael had voted against it, so people firmly believed that only Archangel Tyrael was protecting humanity.
The place where the imitation Kanai’s Cube was stored was in the same place as the Black Soulstone. After settling it down, the Horadrim sealed the gate of the tomb and sent many guards to guard it.
After the imitation Kanai’s Cube was placed, Tyrael seemed to have forgotten about it and began to focus on other matters, looking as though everything was business as usual.
But no one knew that Tyrael had been secretly paying attention to the situation at the Tomb of Rakkis…
One day, two days, three days…
Time passed quietly, and soon, two weeks passed. During this time, nothing major happened in Sanctuary, and the Tomb of Rakkis was silent.
But on this night, in the Tomb of Rakkis, the imitation Kanai’s Cube placed on the altar trembled violently. A powerful spatial power shot out from the cube and then opened a portal not far away!
A pair of demon claws grabbed the edge of the portal, and then Roy walked out of it. His enormous reverse wings folded behind him, and his misty body perfectly fused into the darkness of the tomb. Only his scarlet eyes left swaying trails in the darkness.
After walking out of the portal, Roy began to look around. He saw many tall statues with swords around him. These statues surrounded a giant tomb, and this tomb seemed to have some mechanism that could open the top.
Roy reached out and took his Kanai’s Cube from the altar before walking toward the tomb.
But just as he was about to approach the tomb, an intense light appeared behind him. This light gradually condensed into a human figure, and then Archangel Tyrael appeared!
In his hand was his holy sword, El’druin, the Sword of Justice. As soon as he appeared, Tyrael pointed his sword at Roy from behind and said in a stern tone, “Stop dreaming, demon! There’s nothing in that tomb!”
“Oh?” Roy slowly turned around and grinned sinisterly. “So, you transferred the Black Soulstone?”
Tyrael was currently in human form. He stared intently at Roy. This was the first time he saw Roy’s appearance, and he finally saw the true appearance of this new demon king.
Be it Diablo, Mephisto, or the seven demon kings, they all looked ferocious. Moreover, their main bodies didn’t have many human features, and they looked more like monsters than humans. But this Demon King Osiris in front of him was different. There were very few monster parts on his body, and apart from his tail and wings, he looked humanoid.
But this didn’t mean that the pressure he brought had lessened. On the contrary, Tyrael was very nervous and vigilant when facing Roy because he knew very well that Roy looked like the most orthodox Abyss demon!
This guy really came from the place where demons originate…
Although Tyrael didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless when facing Roy, the feeling of ‘caught you’ deep in his heart still infected him. After hearing what Roy said, Tyrael couldn’t help smiling. “Demon, you think too simply of us. There’s a faint spacetime beacon on that strange Kanai’s Cube imitation. Don’t tell me you really think we couldn’t detect it?”
“That’s right!” Roy nodded and admitted generously. “I set it up. Through a
‘courier’, I let you get this cube and then tracked the spacetime beacon on it.”
What is the courier? That strange octopus demon?Tyrael thought and then said, “It seems like I was right. Your goal is indeed the Black Soulstone, right? Demon Osiris, I don’t know who bewitched you into coming to this world, but what I want to say is that you were fooled! The person who bewitched you deceived you!”
“What do vou mean?” Rov reached out to touch the demon horns on his head.
Rubbing them from time to time made him feel physically and mentally happy.
“There’s no more Black Soulstone!” Tyrael smiled. “It’s not that we transferred the Black Soulstone, but it has been completely destroyed!”
What Tyrael said was true. In the battle with the Angel of Death, Malthael had extracted the power of the Black Soulstone, causing it to become extremely fragile. This thing that couldn’t be destroyed suddenly had a weakness, so it shattered in the battle.
Only Tyrael and the nephalem who had participated in the battle knew about this…
Due to the seven demon kings being sealed in the Black Soulstone, the destruction of the soulstone meant that Mephisto, Diablo, and the others had actually escaped the cage. Perhaps the extraction of their soul power had caused them to become weak, but it was almost certain that they would make a comeback.
This was absolutely a terrible thing for the humans of Sanctuary. In order to calm the people, Tyrael and the nephalem who had participated in the battle didn’t dare to tell the truth. The news they announced to the public was that they had retrieved the Black Soulstone and sealed it.
After all, terror, fear… these negative emotions would strengthen the seven demon kings…
Of course, this was only a temporary measure, and Tyrael and his allies were already preparing for the war when the seven demon kings returned. They would only announce the destruction of the Black Soulstone when the seven demon kings appeared again.
After hearing what Tyrael said, Roy looked a little surprised.
The truth was hidden, so there were naturally no relevant historical records in the books of the world. Through the investigation of the Demon Eyes, it was naturally impossible for him to know these hidden truths.
“So, this is just a trap?” Roy asked.
Hearing this, Tyrael couldn’t help laughing. The thrill of thwarting the demon’s scheme rose spontaneously. He pointed his sword at Roy and said, “Yes, this is a trap. But I didn’t expect you to come personally! I thought it would be another artificial demon…
Roy slowly took out Frostmourne from his storage space and stabbed the tip of the sword into the ground. He held the sword with both hands and said to Tyrael in a strange tone, “Are you the only one in the trap you mentioned?”
Tyrael shook his head. The light wings of an Archangel slowly appeared behind him, and the fluttering light wings that represented the power of an Archangel was condensing.
“Against a demon king like you, ordinary people will only be sending themselves to their deaths. I alone am enough!”
With that, Tyrael’s figure turned into a ray of light that rapidly shot out. He held the holy sword, El’druin, and directly attacked Roy.
Clang!!!
Frostmourne blocked the slash of El’druin. The collision of the holy sword and the demon sword not only brought about a thunderous sound but also incomparably powerful radiation. The holy light power of Archangel Tyrael and the dark power of Demon King Roy collided and instantly caused a huge explosion, and the powerful force directly destroyed the entire Tomb of Rakkis!
A gigantic pit appeared on the spot. At the bottom of the pit, Roy and Tyrael stood facing each other with their swords crossed, like the epic scene of two mythical beings fighting.
Tyrael gritted his teeth, wanting to overwhelm Roy. But at this moment, Roy revealed a sinister smile. He loosened his grip on his sword and suddenly punched Tyrael’s black face.
The sixty-four times strength superimposed by the Red Dragon Emperor’s
Gauntlet instantly erupted. This punch actually sent Archangel Tyrael flying.
His entire body twisted a few times before smashing heavily onto the ground.
Half of Tyrael’s face had collapsed..
Before Tyrael could recover from his dizziness, a mist-like mass of chaotic energy shot over and smashed into him.
Facing this chaotic energy, the powerful holy light defense on Tyrael’s body was like paper, and it easily broke through his defense.
An immense explosion occurred, and Tyrael’s body was sent flying again like a tattered rag doll.
“Even Imperius has never hit me like this…”
In the intense pain and confusion, this thought appeared in Tyrael’s mind. But before he could recover, Roy’s teasing voice came again.
“Then, have you ever thought that I set this trap for you?”
