Chapter 157 Uriel’s Death
Due to the armor being made of ice, the moment the lightning struck Roy, his entire body immediately sparkled like a ball of lightning
Roy’s first feeling was an extremely intense burning sensation all over his body! His skin seemed to be melting, and the pain made him roar.
Frankly, this was the first time that such a powerful holy power had hit Roy. In the past, he had only come into contact with a little bit of holy water. The lightning released by Uriel was not only very fast, but the holy power contained within had too great of a restraining effect against demons. The conflict between holy light and Roy’s dark power naturally brought him immense pain. Originally, this powerful holy lightning would be enough to severely injure a high-rank demon like Roy. Fortunately, Roy had spent a hundred thousand souls to create the Cold Winter Armor, and he had defined it to have resistance against all elemental powers. This resistance also covered holy light and lightning, which caused the damage of Uriel’s attack to be reduced in half directly. Therefore, despite the pain, the damage Roy truly suffered was not as much as expected.
With the roar, Roy frantically outputted his magic power and forcefully expelled the continuously destructive holy power from his body. Under the immense magic power, a huge black ice ball appeared and firmly enveloped Roy’s entire body! Roy used ‘Ice Block’!
“What?!”
Uriel, who had wanted to seize the opportunity to press home the attack after seeing Roy being hit, had just rushed in front of Roy and slashed down with her sword when this incomparably thick ice ball blocked her. Her sword hit the hard layer of ice, and sparks flew, but it failed to break the defense of the ice.
The next moment, the huge ice ball shattered, and Roy rushed out of the black ice into the sky. Taking advantage of the opportunity of Uriel’s line of sight being interfered with by light reflecting off the ice, he stretched out his demon claws, grabbed her neck with his left hand, and stabbed Frostmourne with his right hand at her chest!
Roy had never thought about holding back when it came to Uriel. Angels and demons all fought with their lives on the line.
Roy’s sword was fast and agile. It was about to pierce through Uriel’s body, but at this crucial moment, she twisted her body with all her might and barely managed to avoid the fatal blow!
As blood splattered, Roy’s Frostmourne did not pierce through Uriel’s chest but instead stabbed into the angel wings behind her!
Uriel screamed as golden-red blood oozed out of her wings, and stained feathers flew everywhere!
Roy did not withdraw his sword but seized the chance to slash viciously, immediately cutting off Uriel’s pierced wing.
Enduring the pain, Uriel used her light body to slam against Roy’s chest and free herself from Roy’s control. Then she swung her sword, and golden lightning erupted with her body as the center!
The lightning swiftly spread toward Roy. Roy did not want to be touched by the lightning containing holy power, so he could only hurriedly flap his wings and fly up.
The angel soldiers, who were besieging Julia, were shocked when they saw this. They had never thought that Uriel would have a wing cut off while fighting that high-rank demon!
“Your Excellency Uriel!”
After a few angels regained their senses, they immediately left Julia and rushed at Roy.
Roy raised his hand suddenly, and an even larger Ice Tornado than the one he used to kill the illusion demon César immediately formed in the air. These angel soldiers were rushing too quickly, so they plunged into the Ice Tornado and were instantly frozen into black ice sculptures. Then they fell from the sky and shattered into countless crystal fragments when they impacted the ground!
However, the courage of the angel soldiers was beyond doubt. The tragedy of these angel soldiers did not make the other angel soldiers shrink back. They left only two people entangled with Julia, and the rest charged at Roy!
With the support of the Cold Winter Armor, Roy had extraordinary magic power recovery speed. His magic power was still very abundant, so he was not afraid of these angels taking turns to fight him. Especially because of the influence of Roy’s magic power, the sky was already full of countless black snowflakes, and it was completely Roy’s home ground, so Roy did not hesitate to face the siege of the angels.
Uriel, who had lost a wing, was currently using her magic power to expel the dark power that Roy had left in her. Just like how holy power dealt strong damage to Roy, the damage Roy’s attack caused to Uriel was equally terrifying. The Dark Cold magic power on Frostmourne, the Bleeding curse, the Strength Absorption curse, the power of the Expulsion curse, and the Heavy curse all erupted through the ruptured wound on Uriel’s wing. Unlike Roy, she did not have the Cold Winter Armor to reduce damage, so she used almost all of her magic power to resist the collective erosion of these curses, causing her to be unable to participate in the battle for a while. She could only look on helplessly as her angel soldiers rushed at Roy one after another.
These angel soldiers were besieging Roy, but not long later, they found that they were rapidly losing magic power. Their bodies and breathing were becoming heavier, and their bodies were becoming more and more exhausted. After the black snowflakes fell on them, instead of melting, they were continuously piling up. It was precisely these snowflakes that were continuously sucking away their power and freezing their bodies…
It could be said that as long as the snow did not dissipate, this sky was Roy’s domain. He did not need to do much, and these angel soldiers besieging him would turn into ice sculptures and fall under the extreme cold temperature.
This was the power of frost demons. Although Roy could not deal fatal damage with a single blow now, the longer a battle dragged on, the more advantageous he would be…
In Roy’s Radiation Perception vision, the radiation emanating from these angel soldiers surrounding him became weaker and weaker. Black frost permeated their bodies, making their movements sluggish and their bodies extremely stiff.
With a crack, an angel soldier actually broke his wrist when he swung his weapon!
This phenomenon meant that these angels had reached their limit. As expected, their wings no longer had the strength to flap, and they stopped moving and fell to the ground. Knock! Knock! After a few consecutive noises, the stiff bodies of angel soldiers hit the ground and shattered into countless fragments. The blood in their bodies did not even flow out as it was all frozen as well.
However, even though they had died, these angel soldiers had indeed bought time for Uriel to finally expel the curses on her.
She now only had three wings left, looking very disheveled, but it did not affect her flying. She floated in the air, and her golden eyes stared intently at Roy with hatred!
Without a word, both Roy and Uriel knew that they could only fight to the death.
Roy knew that Uriel was an important figure in this world, but a person’s will could not change the situation. Regardless of whether it was demons or angels, the moment they encountered each other, it meant that only one of them could live. Even if Roy did not kill the angel soldiers under Uriel, she would not let him go. She would kill Roy with the angel soldiers while taking Julia away.
A figure appeared beside Roy. It was Julia. After killing the two angel soldiers, she turned around to support Roy. Now, the current situation had reversed, and it was Roy and Julia besieging Uriel… Uriel did not retreat and brazenly fought the two of them. The battle began once again.
Both sides fought for more than an hour. As time passed, both Julia and Uriel gradually ran out of magic power and became exhausted.
Only Roy had abundant magic power under the support of the magic power recovery of the Cold Winter Armor. Finally, with Julia’s help, Roy stabbed his sword into Uriel’s chest!
This time, Uriel could no longer dodge. She was already too exhausted. She lowered her head, looked at the Frostmourne inserted into her chest, slowly closed her eyes, and murmured, “Your Excellency Abaddon, I did my best…”
At this moment, Uriel did not know that Abaddon had already chosen to fall under Lilith’s temptation and become the black dragon, the Destroyer. She only thought that Abaddon had been killed by the demons, and the person she respected and worshipped had died. Uriel’s heart was already much more exhausted than her body, and she had led the angel army to resist the demons just to fulfill her final duty.
Perhaps if she had not encountered Roy, Uriel would have continued leading the angels to fight. But when she encountered Roy and Julia, and the last soldier beside her died in battle, she could no longer hold on…
She knew that maybe her soul would be taken away by this demon named Osiris, possibly devoured or possibly turned into a fallen angel. But no matter what, she might be free of her worries for the first time…
Uriel’s body slowly fell. A golden holy soul emerged from her body, and Roy grabbed it. Looking at the soul in his hand, Roy knew that he might have inadvertently changed the history or future that should have been. But he had no regrets because if Uriel did not die, then it might have been him who died. When he experienced the Van Helsing world, Roy knew that these parallel worlds were merely revolving according to their own laws, and they would not stop because of the death of a certain character, even if this character was the so-called ‘main character’.
However, how should I deal with Uriel’s soul?
While Roy was thinking, he suddenly felt a radiation source appear behind him in his Radiation Perception. He turned around and found that the demon merchant, Vulgrim, had appeared!
“Aha! What a beautiful and seductive soul!” After Vulgrim appeared, he did not greet Roy but instead looked at Uriel’s soul in Roy’s hand with an intoxicated expression.
“Your nose is even more sensitive than hellhounds’!” Roy could not help but mock him. “I just got the soul, and you already appeared!”
“I’ll take it that you’re complimenting me!” Vulgrim said thick-skinnedly as he rubbed his hands. “Demon Osiris, it hasn’t been long since we last met, but I didn’t expect you to change so much… Now, you’re brimming with the radiance of power! A demon with infinite potential like you might be willing to become my big customer?”
With a flattering expression on his face, he seemed to have completely forgotten the experience of being tricked in his first encounter with Roy…
However, before Roy could answer, a sword was placed on Vulgrim’s neck!
It was Julia! She held her sword and said coldly, “Vulgrim, you despicable and shameless fellow. Who gave you the courage to appear here?!”
A fallen angel actually scolded a demon for being despicable and shameless? This is really… Roy looked at this scene and was dumbfounded. What the hell is going on?
