Chapter 303 - Running Away
Chapter 303 Running Away
The siege was intense, and as the leaders of the army, Raelag and Roy were not idle either. Raeleg rode on his raptor, and his staff danced in his hand. After spinning the staff a few times, he suddenly raised it!
A gust of wind blew out of thin air and then turned into thousands of small cyclones. These cyclones blew across the bodies of the dark elven army, immediately making the soldiers who received the magic lighter. They moved quickly during the battle, as though they had divine help.
This was the air-element Mass Haste spell…
However, before these soldiers who received magical support could play their role, Roy, who was in the air, waved his hand. Countless black mists immediately shrouded the battlefield. The black mists drilled into the bodies of the dark elves, and the dark elves seemed to have lost their strength in an instant and became extremely weak.
Realizing that Roy had cursed his army, Raelag swiftly waved his staff, and a Mass Cleansing spell poured down to dispel the curse for the soldiers. At the same time, he pointed a finger, and countless sharp stone pillars sprang up from the ground among the demon army. The stone pillars pierced the demon soldiers who were caught off guard from their feet to their heads and killed them on the spot.
However, Roy’s magic came in the next second, and a Decay curse enveloped the dark elves.
Both armies became experimental subjects of the commanding heroes’ magic, being played in the palm of their hands. Roy and Raelag continuously cast mass magic on the opposing army in order to weaken their combat strength.
After fighting each other for a while, Raelag found that his situation was not good because he had too few troops. In this kind of magic attrition battle, he was always at a disadvantage. He observed that Roy was still full of magic power after releasing so many spells. He knew that if this continued, his army would eventually be wiped out, so he gritted his teeth and waved his staff!
Raegal’s occupation among the dark elves was a warlock, which was also considered a mage. But in fact, warlocks were different from mages. The magic that mages used was generally the power they obtained through practice. But warlocks would introduce some bloodline power into their magic, so it often caused their magic to possess some special powers.
And dark elven warlocks were the best at Empowered Spells and Rage of the Elements…
Raegal’s magic attack this time was powerful, and his target was Roy in the air!
As he raised his staff, an incomparably thick bolt of lightning suddenly appeared above Roy’s head and struck him down from the air. He saw the pillar of lightning cover the demon’s body, then penetrate all the way through, and finally bombard the ground. Boom! After the lightning fell, the power contained in it turned the rocks on the ground into dust and triggered a tremendous explosion. With Roy as the center, an immense pit appeared, and all the demons within a hundred-meter radius screamed as they turned into black carbon scraps.
It hit! Raelag heaved a sigh of relief. This demon will be heavily injured even if he doesn’t die!
However, before he could finish sighing, Roy’s uninjured body appeared in his eyes. The black and light-refracting armor did not show any signs of damage!
Raelag’s eyes widened in astonishment. But before he could understand what happened, Roy’s body leaned back slightly, and his chest swelled.
As Roy took a deep breath, a black lightning ball appeared in his mouth. He suddenly leaned forward and spat out this lightning ball at Raelag!
The lightning ball was so fast that it turned into a beam of light in the air. Raelag was shocked and quickly dodged to the side. Then he saw the lightning ball flying past, leaving only a black flash of light in his vision!
The lightning ball finally hit dark elven witches on the city wall. The moment the lightning ball landed, an intense flash lit up the entire battlefield. But unlike Raelag’s lightning, the explosion of the lightning ball did not bring any sound. After the light dissipated, all the dark elven witches disappeared!
Only an exceedingly high temperature remained as all the creatures and objects within it vaporized…
A terrible chill hit Raelag, and he could not help but shiver. His entire back was full of cold sweat. Had such a terrifying attack struck him, then he would probably be dead!
How could he know that Roy had never thought of hitting him from the beginning? This lightning ball had deliberately missed.
However, through this lightning ball containing mighty lightning power, Raelag realized that Demon Osiris also possessed formidable lightning magic. No wonder the powerful lightning bolt did not cause him any damage. Therefore, when Raelag attacked again, he immediately changed his magic element.
In his knowledge, demons were generally good at using flames. Demon Osiris had lightning magic as well, so he used frost magic this time.
A Deep Freeze spell froze Roy. But the moment he froze, Roy easily broke free of the frozen state and then directly counterattacked with a powerful Ice Storm!
Countless sharp black icicles fell from the sky and covered the entire dark elven city. These black icicles killed all the remaining soldiers inside who did not go out to fight, as well as destroyed the defense towers.
These two high-intensity magic confrontations had caused Raelag to suffer losses. But they also made him realize that Osiris was a demon that could not be understood by common sense. He was actually proficient in the three elements of darkness, lightning, and frost at the same time, and each of them was much stronger than what Raelag used.
During the decades he spent in the demon camp, he had not seen even one… He turned his head to glance at the city and knew that this city was no longer of use. It could not even provide the most basic defense to his troops, so he simply abandoned it and rode his raptor off the city wall and onto the battlefield.
Raelag was very clear that holy light magic had the greatest restraint on demons. But unfortunately, he could not use it at all, so he could only test other elemental magic on Roy. He did not believe that this Demon Osiris could be proficient in all elements of magic.
This time, he used earth magic. The moment he jumped off the city wall, he had already cast. A boulder weighing tens of tons condensed out of thin air and smashed down on Roy without giving him any time to dodge!
This time, it finally worked. Raelag saw Demon Osiris holding his hands in front of him in panic to block the boulder. But the massive weight still pressed him down from the air.
With a deafening bang, the ground trembled the moment the boulder slammed down!
This alone was not enough. Raelag waved his staff again. Countless dust and stones flew toward the boulder and then adhered tightly to it. As a large amount of dust gathered, the boulder suppressing Roy turned into a colossal sphere weighing no less than a hundred tons.
At first, Raelag was still staring intently. But when he found that there was no movement below the boulder, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and thought, This should be able to suppress him for a while, right?
Unfortunately, this silence only lasted for less than half a minute before Raelag saw the colossal rock sphere trembling and shaking!
With a crisp sound, a circle of white light appeared around the surface of the rock sphere. A moment later, under Raelag’s amazed gaze, the rock sphere was cut open and turned into two hemispheres that fell to both sides. The surfaces of the cut were all smooth.
Raelag saw Demon Osiris appear with an exquisite and fierce demon sword. The demon sword in his hand had cut open the rock sphere.
Had he not seen countless spiderweb-like cracks on the opponent’s black armor and a trace of purple blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth, he would have been depressed. Earth magic is still effective. Raelag thought. It seems that this Demon Osiris isn’t the kind with brute strength. Although he is good at using magic, his body is relatively weak… Phew! Phew! Roy panted heavily as he looked at Raelag with a grin. “Good job. You actually forced me to use my weapon. You are really strong!”
Hearing this, Julia, who was still flying in the air and fighting the black dragons and shadow dragons, could not help but have a strange expression on her face…
“But it’s over!” Roy pointed his sword at Raelag and shouted, “I will bury you and your troops here!”
With that, Roy held Frostmourne’s hilt with both hands and chanted. As he chanted, the demon characters on the sword lit up one by one.
“Not good!” Although Raelag did not know what Roy wanted to do, he still felt that something was wrong. He immediately waved his staff, and another boulder appeared in midair and smashed down at Roy’s head.
But this time, Raelag’s magic did not work. A ball of black ice suddenly appeared and enveloped Roy’s body. The boulder hit the hard ice and shattered the surface. Then cracks spread all over the boulder, causing it to crumble quickly.
After the boulder crumbled, the black ice on Roy’s body instantly disappeared. At this moment, he stopped chanting, and the demon eyes at Frostmourne’s hilt glowed with an intense scarlet light!
Under Raelag’s gaze, Roy stabbed his sword into the ground!
“Ice Age!”
With Roy as the center, the ground turned into black ice crystals and spread rapidly, covering the entire battlefield!
When Roy used his ultimate move, the soldiers of both sides immediately noticed something was wrong. Under Julia’s loud shout, the demon troops quickly flew up and floated in the air.
But the dark elves were in a miserable situation. They did not have wings like demons and vampires and could not fly off the ground. So when the black ice crystals spread over, the moment their feet touched these ice crystals, they immediately turned into black ice sculptures.
The zombies and undead in Roy’s army also turned into ice sculptures, but they were already dead, so it was not a big problem even if they were frozen. But the dark elves were all living creatures. Once frozen, they would really die!
Although Roy’s large AoE damaged both sides, it was not to the degree of killing one thousand while losing eight hundred, but at most a hundred.
When Raelag saw the ice crystals spreading over, he immediately began to retreat. But he also saw the damage to his troops, and his heart began to bleed.
However, he did not hesitate. He cast a Haste spell on himself and ran desperately to the end of the canyon, where there was an exit leading to the surface.
After seeing Raelag fleeing, the remaining black dragons and shadow dragons quickly flapped their wings and chased after him to escape. Julia and Benia led the demons and vampires to hunt down these dragons.
Roy had said to let Raelag go, but the rest had to stay…
After Raelag disappeared from sight, Roy stopped releasing the power of Ice Age and slowly withdrew his magic power. The spiderweb-like cracks on Roy’s armor also recovered in an instant.
Hmm, as expected, I still have to kill his troops before he thinks of escaping! Roy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. I shouldn’t have performed too overboard, right? I exposed some of my strength. But seeing that I was injured, he should think that I can still be defeated and should be spending time to recuperate next… This way, after he meets up with the alliance army, he won’t be too wary of me and will instead take the opportunity to attack Ur-Hekal with all his might…
