Ur-Hekal was a demon city built on a massive volcano.
Along the black ground that was still exuding high temperatures and thick, toxic smoke, a wide magma river slowly flowed along the mountainside. This river seemed to have been deliberately guided, forming rings that circled the entire mountain. In the slowly moving magma, bubbles would burst from time to time, as though the magma in this river would never cool down.
The various buildings built in the demon city completely covered the top of the entire mountain, extending upward in the form of terraces. Although this three-dimensional construction method did not seem large, its volume was quite big.
After crossing the magma moat, it was the gate of Ur-Hekal. The city gate was more than twenty meters tall, and there was a ferocious demon head engraved on it. After Grawl shouted loudly under the city gate for a while, an ear-piercing clicking sound came from the city gate. It slowly opened, and the ferocious demon head split into two.
After the gate opened, Roy looked at the top right of the gate and found hundreds of strong long-horned demons pushing an enormous wheel. The wheel had a thick chain wrapped around it, which was the mechanism to open the gate.
After entering the city, what he saw was a world of darkness and fiery red. Not only was the magma of the massive volcano used as a moat, but it was also brought into the city to create an environment resembling the Abyss. Even though Giovanni and the vampires were undead, they found this hot environment unbearable.
The buildings in the city were pretty orderly, but the demons running around were a mess. They often saw demons fighting and biting each other.
There was an immense number of demons in this city of Ur-Hekal. According to Grawl, there were more than a million here. Even though the city was enormous, it still seemed very crowded with so many demons in one
city.
When Roy and his army entered the city, they naturally attracted the attention of the demons here. After all, this was the headquarters of the demons, and the demons hated and ostracized the creatures of other races. In Roy’s army, not only were there demons, but there were also undead and zombies, especially the two gigantic fellows, Fat Tiger and Rafaro. They were very eye-catching
Fat Tiger was fine since he looked like a three-headed hellhound. This appearance at least made the demons treat him as one of their kind. But the demons provoked the undead like Rafaro, Cassandra, and Giovanni!
On the way forward, some low-rank demons on both sides of the road bared their fangs at Rafaro and the others, and low roars came from their throats. The middle-rank demons kept waving their weapons, looking eager to try.
These provocations from the demons angered Rafaro and Giovanni, but they did not dare to respond when they saw that demons surrounded them. They could only follow Roy with their heads lowered.
Roy knew that this was the nature of demons, so Rafaro and the others could only deal with it. Roy paid no attention to it, but unexpectedly, the demons seemed to have misunderstood his meaning. When they found that no demons were going to stand up for them, they actually regarded Rafaro and the others as ‘captives’!
ere
Indeed, demon heroes who participated in the war outside would also get some captives from time to time. If these captives were living creatures, they would often be brought back as sacrifices. Although undead captives were rare, it was not like there were none.
Since they were captive, their status was naturally low. With the cruel personality of the demons in the city, they naturally had to ‘play’ a bit…
It was unknown who started it, but a group of low-rank demons attacked. They rushed into Cassandra’s undead troops and used rocks and claws as weapons to attack the undead.
Among the undead troops led by Cassandra, there was a group of several hundred skeleton soldiers. These skeleton soldiers were the first to be unlucky under the assault of the demons. They could not resist at all as the low-rank demons tore them into countless broken bones. After dismantling the skeleton soldiers, the low-rank demons proudly jumped and stomped on these broken bones, looking like they were having a good time.
Roy was walking at the front with Grawl. After hearing the commotion behind him, he turned around and saw this scene. He was furious!
He did not care if this was a game to demons or not, but he knew that he was now a ‘coming to seek shelter’ demon. If he swallowed his anger now, the demons in the city would definitely look down on him!
Strength, status, and face were the capital that powerful demons needed. Roy did not know if anyone was instigating these demons from behind, but regardless, he only needed to fight back!
“Retaliate! Hack them to death!!” Roy roared.
Cassandra was already waiting for Roy’s orders. Upon hearing Roy’s roar, she immediately ordered her death knights to attack!
Hundreds of death knights moved from stillness. In the blink of an eye, they rode their skeleton warhorses and rushed into the group of low-rank demons. They raised their swords with powerful dark power and slashed down expressionlessly.
Purple blood splattered, and the screams of the low-rank demons came and went. In just six seconds, hundreds of them were hacked and killed.
Although the death Knights did not play much of a role in the previous battles, it was because Roy, Julia, and the others were too powerful, so they could not perform. In fact, death knights had always been the main combat power of the undead in the battles of this world. They were powerful high-level undead, and they cut down the ordinary low-rank demons like cutting grass!
There was no emotion, no mercy, only pure killing intent. After the death knights attacked, the low-rank demons along the way suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing the low-rank demons being attacked, the middle-rank demons, who had planned on watching the fun, became angry. They rushed forward with their weapons, preparing to kill the death knights.
But at this moment, Roy threw out a black ball of lightning. This ball of lightning quickly smashed into the middle-rank demons!
Loud thunder rumbled, and then countless black arcs of lightning exploded. They revealed their might as they darted into the middle-rank demons. Every struck middle-rank demon twitched and instantly collapsed to the ground, black all over and foaming at the mouth.
None of them could withstand it…
Roy’s attack directly cleared the three hundred middle-rank demons in that area. Although he did not kill them, the middle-rank demons were still shocked when they saw such powerful magic.
They looked up Roy in fear. Roy snorted aptly and suddenly spread his two gigantic pairs of demon wings. The powerful magic power pressure instantly swept through the whole scene, not only covering the entire city gate area but also quickly spreading out to envelop all of Ur-Hekal! This time, Roy fully released his magic power pressure. Under his formidable magic power, the air in the entire city was shaking, and the tiny stone particles on the ground slowly floated into the air.
The low-rank demons wailed and screamed in horror. They hugged their heads and lay on the ground, trembling. Although the middle-rank demons could still stand, their faces were deathly pale and close to vomiting. Even the high-rank demons summoned by Roy felt extremely heavy and uncomfortable.
But the difference was that these high-rank demons were staring at Roy with shining eyes!
They were summoned by Roy and were considered his partners, but they did not really know how strong Roy was before. After feeling Roy’s vast magic power, they realized that they had encountered a treasure!
Roy was already floating in midair. Above him, in the sky above Ur-Hekal, the black clouds formed of volcanic ash were slowly stirring, forming an immense black vortex. The center of the vortex was undoubtedly pointing at Roy.
At least 90% of the over one million demons in the city were terrified under Roy’s pressure…
“Your Excellency Osiris, please calm down!” Grawl’s shout came from below.
Although he was wearing a helmet, his face was full of cold sweat under it. He was also a high-rank demon, but he felt that the disparity between him and Roy was too great. However, he had to stop Roy. After all, this was Ur-Hekal. If Roy recklessly slaughtered other demons, it would definitely anger Sovereign Kha-Beleth.
“Your Excellency Osiris, please withdraw your magic power!” Grawl said respectfully. “I hope you won’t lower yourself to these damn idiots. I’ll transmit orders so that they’ll restrain themselves!”
Roy snorted coldly. He knew when to stop. He folded his wings, landed on the ground, and said grimly to Grawl, “Don’t get it wrong. Although I’m a demon, it doesn’t mean that I have to join the Sheogh camp. My army is still my army, not your Sheogh army! So don’t attack my people without permission, even if they’re undead!”
“Understood! I understand!” Grawl nodded. “I will restrain them!”
With that, Grawl turned his head and roared angrily at the demons in the city, “Get back to your lairs! Damn idiots!”
The low and middle-rank demons immediately yelled in horror and fled in all directions when they heard this. After a while, the scene was silent, leaving only hundreds of corpses and blood…
Seeing this scene, Roy nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to follow Grawl into the city, the ground not far in front of him suddenly exploded, and a towering pillar of flames appeared out of thin air! This blazing flame pillar carried a fierce heat and shot straight into the sky. But it was not over yet. Soon afterward, several similar flame pillars appeared on the ground in front of them.
These pillars did not last long and quickly disappeared. But after they dissipated, several figures appeared at the place where the flame pillars had risen.
The leader was a tall demon with fiery red skin and a pair of blade-shaped demon horns. The moment he saw this figure, Roy’s eyes lit up!
This tall demon was none other than Xeron!
Xeron was wearing armor and had a long cloak on his back. Behind him were a group of high-rank demon heroes, all of them in different forms.
Once he appeared, Xeron first saw Grawl, then shifted his gaze to Roy.
Roy had been staring at him, so he naturally saw the thick doubt in his eyes and immediately realized that Xeron really could not recognize him.
“Who are you?” Xeron raised his chin and said arrogantly, “Was it you who released the magic power pressure just now?”
Clearly, Roy’s unbridled magic power alarmed all the demon heroes in the city, and they could not recognize this strange magic power pressure, so they all chose to check. While Xeron observed Roy, Roy was also observing him. Roy found that he was much stronger than before. At least in terms of the magic power he was emitting now, he was not much worse than Roy. From the looks of it, after being killed by the dragons once, Xeron had worked hard. Or maybe he really obtained huge benefits from Demon Lord Kha-Beleth…
Roy replied lightly to Xeron’s question, “Don’t be surprised. I was just casually greeting you…”
