Roy had deliberately adjusted the power of the lightning under Gelu’s feet, so when the lightning burst in reverse, even though Gelu was electrocuted, he did not suffer much damage. However, he was still flesh and blood, so he could not avoid the powerful paralysis brought by the lightning.
So when Roy suddenly broke out of the ice, he did not even have time to react…
Frostmourne pierced into Gelu’s body, and a series of curses began to take effect. Although Gelu was not like the angels, whose entire bodies had turned gray because of Mind Distortion, the expression on his face was more distorted than any angel who had been struck. The paralysis of lightning, the sword piercing through his chest, and Mind Distortion and the curses, under the combined effect of these powers, Gelu could be said to be hopeless!
Roy obtained the Sword of Frost from his hand effortlessly.
At this moment, Roy’s body was also not in good condition. Under the Cold Winter Armor, frostbite had already appeared on many places of his skin because of muscle tissue festering from the low-temperature damage. Although these frostbite injuries were slowly recovering under his self-healing ability, the damage still happened after all. What did this show? It showed that the low-temperature damage brought by the Sword of Frost had even exceeded the limit that Roy could withstand!
He was a frost demon, and because he could use the power of ice, his resistance to low temperatures was quite high. At least, he could withstand the lowest temperature that he could create. Now, when he was in the Cryogenic Fate state, he could almost be uninjured at the low temperature of -210°C. Coupled with the elemental damage that the Cold Winter Armor could reduce, a temperature of -230°C was no problem for him.
However, the frost created by Gelu using the Sword of Frost just now broke through the resistance of Roy and his armor at the same time…
Therefore, the moment Roy was sealed in the ice, he immediately realized that this Sword of Frost was probably a divine artifact that could create the temperature of absolute zero! Even if it could not, it was likely infinitely close to absolute zero!
I must get it! Roy only had this thought at that time.
Fortunately, when Gelu used the Sword of Frost, he deliberately suppressed its power. Although Roy was injured, he could easily escape.
In order not to give Gelu another chance to swing his sword, Roy decisively killed him!
Roy immediately felt the extremely vast and powerful frost magic power when he held the Sword of Frost. What was worth mentioning was that the source of this magic power was the entire sword blade. As for the sword hilt, it was obvious after a closer look that a later generation had added it.
In other words, the true essence of this Sword of Frost lay in the blade. Its original form might be a piece of solid ice that would not melt even after hundreds of millions of years. However, it was later polished into the shape of a sword by the creator, and then the hilt was artificially added later to make it easier to use.
Roy had no interest in investigating the origin of this sword. He only knew that when he held this sword, the incomparably powerful magic power in the blade traveled along the hilt and permeated his body, making him feel extremely comfortable.
This situation made Roy secretly happy. He had already thought of how to use this Sword of Frost…
When Roy drew out Frostmourne, Gelu slowly fell to the ground. Although he was also affected by Mind Distortion, it seemed that he would not have the chance to show his madness. Frostmourne had already devoured his soul. Since he had been killed by Frostmourne, it would not take long for him to become a powerful undead and rise again, and then be dominated by Roy, the owner of Frostmourne.
As divine artifacts, even though Frostmourne was not as powerful as the Sword of Frost, it could devour the souls of the slain. Their bodies would then be enslaved, becoming neither alive nor dead… This strange characteristic could make anyone who knew it tremble in fear!
In the eyes of Astral and the others, Frostmourne was absolutely a demon sword…
It could be said that the alliance army had made an absolute mistake in their intelligence. Although they had information about the demon from Arantir, they had not truly understood what kind of demon Roy was until now.
Although Roy had displayed the powers of darkness, lightning, and frost during the battle, they had always thought that this was only magic that Roy used. After all, high-rank demons like Xeron also knew the magic of many other elements.
This led to the impression that the demon should be like the ones of Sheogh and Eeofol, where demons had flames and magma as their source.
In fact, let alone them, people had always linked demons to flames in their minds, and it was not wrong to use the power of ice to deal with demons that represented flames. They might think that even if Roy knew how to use frost magic, it was absolutely impossible for it to be stronger than the Sword of Frost…
But the problem was that Roy happened to be out of the ordinary among demons, and he was a rare race among them…
Roy had been in the Abyss for many years, but he had yet to encounter any of his kind. Although this was also because he did not deliberately search for the frost environments in the Abyss, it showed that frost demons were rare.
Being able to use frost magic and have frost power as a source were two entire different concepts. The alliance army had wrongly estimated Roy’s resistance to frost power, which was why they could not turn the tables.
In this lightning storm attack, five heroes, including Gelu, fell. Solmyr was fine, and the treasures on Astral helped him block the lightning, but they exploded. Nearly four hundred priests and elven rangers were electrocuted into ashes. The titans were fine since they had relatively strong resistance to lightning and had no casualties. But twelve green dragons were heavily injured by Roy’s Dark Lightning and fell from the sky.
Such massive casualties allowed the alliance army to understand Roy’s terror once again. Smelling the smell of burnt corpses and looking at the tragic scene, the alliance army wondered whether their enemy was a demon lord!
“Don’t… don’t let him come over!” Archbishop Alaric was the first to retreat. Seeing Roy holding Frostmourne in one hand and the Sword of Frost in the other while flying into the air, Alaric immediately ordered the priests and the remaining angels to attack Roy. He himself turned around and fled under the protection of a few personal guards… I’ve finally become an archbishop after great difficulty and have a high status. I definitely can’t die in the hands of a demon like this! With this thought in mind, Alaric ran away without looking back.
Alaric had left his troops behind, but the rest of the alliance army was in chaos as he ran. Especially when Roy’s Halo of Fear spread out, the remaining mages and nagas subconsciously ran away in fear.
“Come back! You bastards!” Astral roared furiously. “You’ll only die this way!”
However, he was unable to persuade them. The Bracadans were originally not an army with firm willpower. When the fear of death threatened them, they could not even hear the commander’s orders…
“Your Excellency Astral, I’ll cover the retreat. Leave this place quickly!” Solmyr suddenly said to Astral, but his eyes were fixed on Roy, who was killing the angels in the air and sending their feathers flying. “How can I do that?” Astral said angrily. “I still have magic power. As long as you buy me some time, I can use powerful magic to kill him!”
“It’s useless!” Solmyr shook his head. “Didn’t you see that the Sword of Frost couldn’t do anything to him? If you want to kill him, you have to use a top-level spell like Armageddon… But can you cast such a spell alone?”
Astral was silent. Yes, although he was the president of Bracada’s Wizards’ Guild, it was impossible for him to cast Armageddon alone. This kind of forbidden-level magic required several powerful mages to work together…
“You go first. I’ll hold him back. Go back to the country immediately and apply to use all the powerful artifacts collected by the kingdom of Bracada!” Solmyr said. “We must treat this Demon Osiris as a demon lord. To kill him, we must gather the strongest force and the largest army…”
Astral was conflicted, but he knew that what Solmyr said was right. Now, he could only bring the news of the battle back to the country and inform the allies. If he did not leave now, he might not be able to leave in a while!
After making up his mind, Astral immediately turned around and escaped while leaving a sentence. “Solmyr, don’t die!”
“Don’t worry. I’m a djinn!” Solmyr said. “It’s not that easy to kill me…”
With Astral’s escape, the alliance army also began to flee. Except for a few that were still following orders and stayed behind to cover the retreat with Solmyr, the rest fled desperately along the riverbank to the canyon.
However, misfortunes never came singly. Many agile and strange black shadows suddenly appeared on the wall of Dendera Fortress. They were the mutants in the fortress. After Roy killed the wizard heroes, the magic restrictions they left in the fortress had disappeared, and the mutants could finally escape outside.
These mutants were already stimulated by the thick smell of blood drifting over from the battlefield and were about to go crazy. After jumping down off the tall wall, they began to attack the fleeing alliance troops.
Had it been a normal retreat, perhaps the alliance troops could have organized and fought back against these mutants. But in this state, they had no choice but to hope that they could run faster than others…
Fortunately, there were not many mutants that jumped off the city wall. After sacrificing some casualties, the remaining allied troops escaped and headed for Aglan Fortress.
In the air, Roy also noticed the appearance of these mutants, but he was dealing with the remaining alliance forces alone, so he could not attend to these mutants for the time being.
Roy stabbed Frostmourne forward and pierced through the throat of a titan before retracting his sword. He opened his mouth, and a black ball of lightning headed straight for the angel to his right. The lightning ball exploded, and a thick black lightning bolt shot into the sky and struck the angel directly. Then Roy faced the acid dragon breaths spat out by several green dragons and emerald dragons. Under the enhancement of his Dragon Slayer Magic, he swallowed these dragon breaths directly, thereby increasing his resistance to acid dragon breath.
Solmyr, who had stayed behind to cover the retreat, continuously released lightning to strike Roy. However, he could not hurt Roy, but he could not stop his magic attacks because, besides magic, he did not know what other power he had to restrain this demon…
“Why, why can’t this drag him down?!” Solmyr roared unwillingly. “How does he have so much magic power?!” No one could answer him. Although the troops staying behind delayed Roy, their numbers were getting fewer and fewer…
In the end, Roy caused rivers of blood to flow…
