Chapter 313 Surprise Attack
“It’s you, Osiris?!” Xeron could not help but exclaim in shock when he saw Roy.
He did not expect Roy to appear here. In fact, Xeron had already selectively forgotten Roy’s existence since he sent Roy out to eliminate the dark elves. In addition, many things had happened afterward, so much so that he forgot that there was this high-rank demon under him.
Although he used to hate seeing Roy, he was glad that Roy had appeared here and blocked Raelag’s path.
He exhaled and said loudly, “You came at the right time, Osiris! Capture him, capture this dark elf! As long as you catch him, you’ll contribute a great merit, and I’ll recommend you in front of Sovereign Kha-Beleth!”
Hearing this, Roy looked at Xeron with a faint smile. “Your Excellency Xeron, what’s wrong? Are you not afraid of me taking the credit?”
Xeron said seriously, “Osiris, I know you’re ambitious, and I’ll also admit that this makes me unhappy. But this time, as long as I capture this guy, I promise to give you the corresponding status and power. I will do what I say!” “Okay!” Roy nodded. He spread his wings and flew toward Raelag.
Raelag was in a dilemma. He did not expect that Demon Osiris, whom he had fought before, would intercept him here, as though he had predicted that he would escape to here. No wonder Osiris and his army didn’t appear on the battlefield when the alliance army attacked Ur-Hekal…
What should I do? There’s a demon army in front and Xeron behind. How can I escape? Raelag thought nervously as he watched Roy approach slowly. But unexpectedly, when Roy was about ten meters away from Raelag, he suddenly stopped and said to him, “Put Isabel down first. I’m sure you don’t want to see her hurt, right?”. Hearing Roy’s words, Xeron quickly said, “Yes, put Isabel down. We can give you a fair fighting chance!”
“Hmph, who would believe what a demon says?” Raelag was not stupid. He knew that if he fought with Isabel, the demons would have to be careful to avoid harming her, and it might give him a chance to escape. But if he really let go of Isabel, they would snatch Isabel away, and he would likely die here.
Therefore, he bluntly rejected Roy’s suggestion. Although this decision was very unfair to Isabel, Raelag had already decided that if he and Isabel had no chance, he would kill her before committing suicide…
He would never allow Isabel to fall into the hands of the demons and be defiled again…
Looking at Raelag’s determined expression, Xeron felt nervous. Kha-Beleth had ordered him to bring Isabel back, but judging from Raelag’s current appearance, he was probably prepared to go all out.
Therefore, he kept looking meaningfully at Roy, who was behind Raelag.
Roy looked past Raelag and at Xeron, but he quickly looked away and looked at Raelag as though he had received a message.
“Don’t be so sure about it!” Roy said to Raelag. “You injured me last time and made me recuperate for a few days. Perhaps you will be able to defeat me one-on-one and escape again this time.”
While speaking, Roy waved his hand, and a group of Demon Eyes with small wings appeared beside him and danced around him.
Roy said, “Look, I even showed these invisible little guys. Is this sincere enough?”
Xeron looked at the Demon Eyes beside Roy and felt confused. He did not know what use Roy’s summons had, but when Raelag saw these demon eyes, his mind suddenly exploded!
Isn’t this… isn’t this the thing that led the way when I sneaked into the secret room?!
C-could it be that…
A sudden flash of light went off in his mind, and he understood many things. But he still hesitated, unsure if he should believe this demon in front of him.
“I think you should understand that you can’t escape under this encirclement!” Roy continued. “If my army presses forward, you will have no chance. But if you put her down, you might be able to find a chance to escape during the battle with me and then regroup and return to save her, right?”
“That’s right!” Xeron nodded from behind. “Think about it carefully, Agrael!”
It seemed like the persuasion finally worked. Xeron happily saw Raelag carrying Isabel and getting off the unicorn.
“Okay. In that case, as you wish, I choose to fight!” Raelag looked at Roy first, then turned to look at Xeron behind him. He said solemnly, “You won’t go back on your word about a fair fight, right?!”
“Of course not!” Xeron replied before Roy could. “You can either choose Osiris and me as your opponent. As long as you can escape, we will definitely not chase after you!”
“Okay, I’ll choose… you! Demon Osiris!” Raelag’s eyes flashed as he pointed at Roy.
A sinister grin appeared on Roy’s face. He clenched a fist and cracked his knuckles. “I can’t wait. I want revenge on you for injuring me last time!”
Raelag hugged Isabel and took a few steps forward. He came to a short tree, put her down, and walked back. “Okay, let’s fight farther away!”
“No problem!” Roy nodded.
However, just as Raelag was about to step forward, a flame pillar suddenly rose from where Xeron was, and he suddenly disappeared in this fire pillar!
Almost at the same time, a similar flame pillar appeared where Isabel was!
At the same time, Roy’s figure turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared in front of Raelag.
“Bastards!!!” Raelag’s eyes were red. He knew that had been deceived! He stared at the two figures that appeared beside Isabel almost simultaneously.
Xeron used the flame teleportation ability to catch Raelag off guard. As soon as he appeared, he impatiently stretched out his hands to grab the unconscious Isabel on the ground. At the same time, Roy appeared a little bit behind Xeron, and when he appeared, he reached out a hand toward Isabel.
In Xeron’s opinion, Roy wanted to fight over credit with him for Isabel’s capture, but Xeron knew that he was faster, so he did not care much and only wanted to grasp her in his hands.
As for lying to Raelag, Xeron did not care at all. As far as demons were concerned, as long as they had not made a contract, they could go back on their word. Raelag could only blame himself for being stupid. In the end, Xeron succeeded first and picked Isabel up. Compared to Xeron’s tall body, Isabel, who was slightly over 1.6 meters tall, looked very petite as he held her up with one hand.
Seeing that Isabel finally fell into his hands, Xeron was full of pride and complacent. He raised her high and laughed wildly. “Hahahaha… Urgh!!!?!”
His laughter stopped halfway because he suddenly discovered a demon claw stained with purple blood had pierced out of his chest. And this claw looked familiar…
Xeron was stunned, and then severe pain came. He had been sneak attacked! He could not help but scream as Isabel fell from his hand.
But another big hand caught her halfway.
“Osiris?! You want to kill me to snatch merit?!” Xeron turned around and looked at Roy, who had just pulled his arm out of his chest. He was in disbelief.
On another side, Raelag had witnessed the entire process of Roy’s sneak attack on Xeron. He was dumbfounded.
Roy held Isabel in his right hand and shook Xeron’s demon blood off from his left arm. He mocked, “Xeron, Xeron, I didn’t expect you to still be so stupid since the last time we met. Doesn’t my name remind you of anything?!”
“You… Osiris… You…” Xeron was covering the big hole in his chest that was spurting blood. Roy’s words reminded him of the little demon from before, and he roared, “Impossible! You can’t be that low-rank demon Osiris. You can’t fool me! No demon can grow so fast. It’s only been four years. It’s impossible for you to grow so powerful from a low-rank demon!”
“Believe it or not, I’m that little demon from back then!” Roy stretched out his hand and handed Isabel to Julia, who had rushed over to help him. He asked her to bring Isabel away from here for the time being before calmly saying, ” Xeron, what you can’t do doesn’t mean that other demons can’t do. You enslaved me once, and I deceived you once. It’s even. But who made you ask about me all over the Abyss? Since you treat me as an enemy and want to crush me to death, I can only act first and kill you! Otherwise, a guy who’s always thinking about me will make me unable to sleep…”
