Chapter 314 Xeron’s Final Struggle
Roy had actually aimed his attack at Xeron’s heart. But because both sides were moving fiercely, the angle was not accurate, and he could not rip out Xeron’s demon heart.
Even so, the large hole in his chest made Xeron suffer a fatal blow.
Purple blood gushed out of his mouth, and the blood in his chest did not stop pouring out at all. Although high-rank demons had powerful self-healing abilities, they required time. Roy did not intend to give Xeron any time. After speaking, he took advantage of Xeron’s astonishment and attacked again. Roy’s sharp demon claws headed straight for Xeron’s throat. Xeron hurriedly flapped his wings and stamped the ground to fly up. Roy missed and raised his arm to point it at Xeron. Black electric arcs jumped up his arm, and a black ball of lightning blasted out like a cannonball toward Xeron. Xeron did his utmost to dodge, but the giant demon wings on his back harmed him. His body avoided it, but the lightning ball grazed a demon wing, and half of the wing tip disappeared in an instant. The black electric current flowed along the wing to his entire body. Almost in an instant, the powerful repulsion from the high-voltage current sent Xeron flying into the air, seemingly like a bomb had exploded. With a loud bang, Xeron smashed into the ground. When he staggered to his feet, his entire body had completely changed color. His originally crimson skin had turned scorched black, and green smoke was rising from all over his body. The moment he moved, black skin fell off piece by piece, revealing the flesh inside.
His left hand had been covering the large wound on his chest, but now, the skin on his hand and chest were sticking together. It hurt to the bone marrow with just a slight movement. Xeron was in so much pain that he could not help but roar. But halfway through the roar, he coughed chokingly and spat out blood.
When he saw Roy rushing at him again, Xeron spat out a mouthful of blood and hurriedly spread his movable right hand at Roy. An enormous fireball burst out.
Roy did not dodge or evade and collided with the fireball as the power of frost protected his entire body. After the fireball exploded, he safely passed through the blast unharmed, arrived in front of Xeron, and punched straight at his palm. Roy’s formidable frost power first froze Xeron’s arm before the punch arrived, and then the physical force came. Under Xeron’s terrified eyes, Roy’s fist smashed his right arm into countless ice fragments!
Not far away, Julia, Benia, Rafaro, Raelag, and the demons under Roy just watched the tragic battle between the two top high-rank demons. But the so-called tragedy was only for one side, and only the word tragic could describe the current situation of Xeron, whom Roy was beating like a punching bag. His right arm was gone, but Xeron did not feel any pain. The frost power had corroded his arm, preventing him from feeling any pain... Although Xeron knew that Roy was strong when he saw him in Ur-Hekal, even stronger than him, when he was truly facing Roy, Xeron realized that he had underestimated Roy’s strength! Feeling Roy’s surging killing intent, Xeron knew that he had to go all out. He pulled off his left hand that was sticking to his chest and stretched out his hand. A huge and savage scythe appeared in it. The entire blade of the scythe had dense dark power wrapping around it, and the moment he summoned the scythe, he swung it at Roy. Roy had never seen this weapon before and did not know how powerful it was, so he chose to be cautious and avoid it. But he did not expect that Xeron was actually a weapon master. The scythe he wielded with his left hand was flowing smoothly and freely. With the whistling sound of tearing air, the scythe kept slashing at Roy’s vitals. But no matter what, Xeron was heavily injured, while Roy was not injured at all. He was naturally in a much better state than Xeron. Facing Xeron’s continuous attacks, Roy dodged calmly. Finally, he caught a gap and summoned Frostmourne and slashed, beginning to fight back. Clang! Frostmourne’s blade clashed against Xeron’s scythe. The sound of metal colliding rang out, and the magic power contained in Roy’s and Xeron’s scythe exploded because of this collision! A strong shock wave suddenly erupted from where the two of them collided, sweeping across the entire battlefield and blowing a storm of dust. Roy’s feet remained motionless during the explosion, but it pushed him a few meters back, and his feet plowed two long gullies in the soil. But Xeron had lost an arm, causing his balance to be unstable, so the explosion sent him flying. His entire body somersaulted in the air, smashing through a dozen trees in the forest opposite before falling. He stood up unsteadily in the forest, and the moment he looked up, he saw a black beam of light flying toward him. It was an ultra-high-pressure lightning beam that Roy shot out from his mouth! In a hurry, Xeron only had time to use his demon scythe to block in front of him. The next second, the lightning struck... Sizzle! An intense black flash of light suddenly erupted in the forest where Xeron was and enveloped a radius of nearly a kilometer. This flash lasted only for a moment, but when the light disappeared, the area covered, be it trees or rocks, had turned black. A breeze blew, and these black trees and rocks disintegrated, turning into countless flying black carbon powder that silently collapsed onto the ground. A circular, barren hole appeared in the lush forest, as though someone had suddenly gouged a piece out of it.
Xeron was not dead, but he was standing on the ground and trembling crazily, almost unable to stand.
Roy’s attack had destroyed most of his cells in an instant. Although the remaining cells were still dividing tenaciously to boost his self-healing, Xeron was already nearing his end. He had consumed at least two-thirds of his massive amount of magic power to resist Roy’s attack, and he was using the remaining one-third to restore his body, but it was merely a drop in the bucket. The demon scythe in his hand crumbled into ashes at this moment. Seeing Roy rushing toward him with Frostmourne, Xeron finally felt despair. The next second, a violent red light suddenly erupted from Xeron’s entire body. In an instant, he squeezed out all the magic power stored in his demon heart and released it into the sky.
Roy did not know what he wanted to do, but he had been on guard against Xeron’s counterattack, so when he saw Xeron’s anomaly, Roy did not hesitate to transform into lightning and instantly appear in front of him. He grabbed one of Xeron’s demon horns with his left hand while holding Frostmourne with his other hand. He raised his sword and slashed. A flash of light appeared on Xeron’s neck.
Time seemed to stop, and Xeron’s ferocious expression froze.
Roy held Xeron’s demon horn and gently lifted it. Xeron’s head immediately separated from his neck as Roy easily raised it, and his body collapsed.
After removing the Cold Winter Armor’s helmet and revealing his face, Roy held Xeron’s head with one hand and faced Benia and the others. He raised the head high and roared wildly! Upon seeing this scene, Benia and the other demons knelt, and even Rafaro lowered his head. A dark and deep soul slowly emerged from Xeron’s body. But before the Ouroborus Mark lit up and brought his soul back to the Abyss, Roy stretched out his claws and grabbed it. Xeron’s soul struggled left and right in Roy’s hand, but he could not escape Roy’s control. Finally, this soul distorted to reveal Xeron’s face, and he roared unwillingly at Roy, “Osiris! I curse you! I curse you to die from thousands of rays of holy light peeling your flesh!” “Hmph. The cry of a defeated dog!” Roy snorted disdainfully and stored Xeron’s soul in the system space. Sure enough, the system displayed Xeron’s soul as an ‘evil soul with strong resentment’! Just like Cassandra’s soul back then, it would only create such a resentful soul under the strong indignation of death. It showed how excruciatingly depressed Xeron was when he died.
Roy raised his head and looked at the sky. Although Roy had killed Xeron in time, the magic power he had released before he died had already appeared in the sky. At this moment, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, and an enormous spiral-like passage appeared in the clouds, as though something had pierced through the clouds. And at the end of this passage was a shining... star?! “Not good! This is Armageddon!” Rafaro was the first to notice that something was wrong. “We have to get out of here quickly!”
