Inferno Explosion was the most disgusting ability of Inferno Demons. For adventurers, Inferno Demons were probably the most annoying of all demons. After all, it was common for adventurers to work so hard to defeat a high-level Inferno Demon, only to lose everything in the demon's maniacal laughter and flames.
On the battlefield of Order and Chaos, the red figures who led the charge into enemy formations and laughed maniacally as they summoned meteor explosions and hellfire rain would always strike fear in the hearts of others. However, what left an even deeper impression in people's minds was that when they were forced to the brink, a single Inferno Explosion would turn a strategic high ground into a deep pit, turn a town into ruins, and wipe out an entire army. All the heroes who surrounded them would die together with them.
The most disgusting part was that it was very difficult for demons to completely die. If they self-destructed their incarnations or clones, although the power and power of the self-destruction would be small, the damage to their main body would be minimal.
And even if they self-destructed their main body, as long as they had enough backup plans, the damage from the self-destruction wouldn't be fatal. They could even transfer their souls to their descendants. Even if they had to evolve from the very beginning, it wouldn't be difficult for them to grow with their previous accumulations and connections. Usually, even if they managed to kill off an Inferno Demon, they would return to being a hero three or four hundred years later.
However, only a small portion of existences knew that Inferno Demons wouldn't choose to self-destruct unless they had absolutely no other choice or had entered a state of insanity. That would be even greater than the loss of an incarnation.
Self-destruction wasn't unique to Inferno Demons. Elemental creatures, especially fire elemental creatures, were also hot. In fact, many mages loved to self-destruct. But out of all the self-destruction spells, "Archmage's Final Attack" was known to be the most destructive. After all, a mage's accumulated mana over many years wouldn't just detonate their lifeforce, but also their souls that had gathered together with their mana.
Inferno Demons' Inferno Explosion was roughly equal in power to "Archmage's Final Attack". This was because Inferno Demons didn't only detonate their own lifeforce, but also a mixture of fire element mana and Chaos essence. This meant that even if Inferno Demons self-destructed their clones, they would definitely lose a portion of their Chaos essence and lose power levels!
The essence of the Abyss was necessary for a demon to evolve. It was the best reward that the will of Chaos gave to a demon. It was the purest form of Chaos Origin Energy, as well as the source of energy for a demon that was equivalent to a True God's divine power. Losing the essence of the Abyss was the same as wasting years of hard work and having to start all over again.
In the mortal plane, if a God or God Envoy's clone was killed, the loss would usually be negligible. The lost power could be recovered with time. However, if a high-level demon lost a power level, his subordinates and enemies would never miss such a good opportunity. That was why many Inferno Demons would rather lose their clones than choose to self-destruct.
Only in a "factional battlefield" like the Holy War would it be possible to see Inferno Demons self-destruct on a large scale. Inferno Demons would be a powerful weapon to break the strategic balance. The will of the Chaos Abyss would control the Inferno Demons, and the Inferno Demons wouldn't have any choice at all. It was only natural that they would be drained of all their remaining value.
Perhaps even an army's destructive self-destruction wouldn't be as frightening as Ladvioka's self-destruction. Ladvioka was an Elder Demon Main God who had experienced at least two Holy Wars. The mana and essence of the Chaos Abyss that he had accumulated was incalculable. If he exploded all of this in an instant, any so-called forbidden spell would be nothing more than a tiny spark in front of him.
"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to force an Inferno Demon to the brink either …"
But the situation back then, with the collapsing Apocalyptic Beasts and the Inferno Demons fighting to the death, it was impossible for Roland to hold back. Holding back would be the same as committing suicide.
Ladvioka, the oldest Inferno Demon King, unhesitatingly chose the fiercest counterattack. At that moment, when the entire Mountain Inferno exploded and Roland and the other two Original Sins entered the revival phase, the entire Hades trembled from that frightening explosion.
And this was the result of Roland ignoring everything else and breaking through Ladvioka's defenses. He forcefully tore off an important part from a Main God level demon's body. If Ladvioka had successfully self-destructed, it would have been too late.
"That's half of the oldest Inferno Demon's heart. And for demons, the heart is a special part …"
When Roland desperately tore off that half of the Lord of Putrefaction's heart, he hadn't done it to reduce the power of the Lord of Putrefaction's self-destruction. That was because the Lord of Putrefaction's self-destruction would definitely send him back to the Pillar of Law to be revived.
Roland had done it for the last time he saw the beautiful figure standing in front of the Pillar of Ice by herself.
Roland was no longer able to deliver his present to her, which was why he called out to a name that everyone had already forgotten. He hoped that Roland would be able to help him, even if they were already enemies.
And before Ladvioka's incomplete body was reduced to ashes in the explosion, Roland gave his final blessing as he looked at the figure in the snow.
"… Live on, Eliza."
Her long silver hair fluttered in the wind. Beneath her gold-rimmed spectacles was her usual expressionless face. It was just that Eliza wasn't in a good state right now. Her black-and-white lace dress was filled with sword slashes, and she couldn't stop the blood from flowing out of her mouth. The wound on her right arm was still hanging limply, and it was evident that she had lost all feeling in it. And this was only the result of Cavendish holding back with his sword.
"There's actually such a huge difference between us …"
Her vision was now hazy. Her physical injuries were only a part of it. What was injured was her very source. Demon Marchioness hadn't even been able to use her combat form before she was seriously injured by the Abyss Prince's sword attack.
Even though she still had the will to fight to the end, the tremendous difference in power level made the so-called will to fight meaningless. At that moment, she even considered using an Inferno Explosion. But the next instant, she discovered that Cavendish had actually sealed off even this possibility.
That's right, Ladvioka wasn't the only Inferno Demon in the entire Hades plane. As the Fire Sea Marchioness, Eliza had successfully evolved by absorbing the Fire Elemental God's power level. Naturally, she was an Inferno Demon that was the result of combining the essence of the Chaos Abyss and fire element magic.
But even though the current Eliza was already powerful enough, the difference between the two of them was far too great. One was a Demon Marchioness who had instantly become a Demon Marchioness, while the other was a favored child of the Chaos Abyss, an existence with the highest power level in the world. If it wasn't for the fact that Roland had gone easy on her, Eliza probably would have already died.
Cavendish continued to smile as he continued forward. However, Eliza blocked his way once again. Her eyes were still cold and rational, but they represented the complete desire for battle.
"… Sister-in-law, just obediently lie down on the ground. Don't make things difficult for me. I'm doing something important right now. Besides, if I really kill you, my older brother will probably go all-out against me … "
Karwenz awkwardly scratched his head. However, he suddenly smiled in delight, as if he had recalled something interesting. The Abyss Prince smiled as innocently as a child. He seemed to be a little shy, a little troubled, and also a little excited.
"… Then won't I be able to see my older brother seriously taking revenge on me? Ha, now that I think about it, I'm really looking forward to it. Don't tempt me into killing you. "
Cavendish slowly extended his finger with an unknown frightening pressure. At this moment, he mysteriously became serious. This sudden thought bloomed in his chaotic mind. His powerful curiosity and anticipation drove him to take action.
He actually really wanted to see what Roland would do after he killed Eliza. Perhaps the unknown itself was the most interesting thing to Roland.
"… If you die, he'll probably go all-out against me. He'll probably swing his sword at me with a belly full of hatred and regret. Perhaps just this reason alone is enough for me to kill you right now. "
Roland's calm words seemed to have already sentenced Eliza to death. But even so, Eliza continued to coldly look at him. She had no intention of moving out of his way at all, as if she was someone else who was about to die.
"My little lover, don't forget our goal. It's not a good habit to cause unnecessary trouble …"
However, the King of Temptations suddenly walked out and used a gentle embrace to stop Cavendish's killing intent towards Eliza.
"… Besides, we have a new guest now. Don't let him laugh at us."
The Devil Lord Karwenz looked at the nearby Tower of Ice. There, an existence that couldn't be ignored was currently paying attention to this place.
Before Karwenz even finished speaking, a blue figure suddenly appeared above everyone's heads. This figure was quite large and wore an exquisite crown on his head. His upper body was as muscular and muscular as a Hercules, while his lower body was a colorful fishtail. His facial features were quite handsome, but he had a bitter expression. His blue eyes were filled with sorrow, as if he had just met the most tragic fate in the world.
Even though he was clearly standing there, he seemed to exist between reality and illusion, making it difficult for anyone to grasp his exact location.
The Devil Lord Karwenz lowered his head and held a crimson red stone in his hand. This stone was constantly beating as if it was a living heart.
That's right, this was the gift that Roland had entrusted to Karwenz, the Inferno Demon's heart!
Inferno Demons were immune to fire damage. Hearts were the source of demons' power. Naturally, they would also be immune to the same type of damage. After that explosion that destroyed everything, this half of the Inferno Demon's heart that had been torn off was the only thing left behind from that astonishing explosion.
The Devil Lord Karwenz simply used his back to protect Eliza. He handed the stone … the half of the Inferno Demon's heart that Roland had torn off from the Lord of Putrefaction to Eliza, who had a surprised expression.
"That person wanted me to give this to you. Originally, I didn't intend to help him. After all, even if he revived me, he forced my little mermaid to die. I still intended to settle the score with him. But seeing how stubborn you are, I feel as if I'm looking at my equally stubborn little mermaid. That's why I'm helping you, not helping that heartless bastard. "
When the blue Devil Lord Karwenz turned around, his sorrowful eyes seemed as if he was mourning the death of all living things in the world. The next instant, all of his fighting spirit transformed into pure killing intent. This was divine might that was as fierce as a tsunami. This was pure power that caused all living things to mourn.
"A Main God level True God?"
Cavendish was rather astonished. He had no recollection of such a person. A Main God that suddenly appeared would definitely be more than enough to easily break the balance of the battlefield. It was impossible to ignore such an existence from the very start. However, Ilmisya sucked in a breath of cold air. This Devil Lord who also had a "long history" recognized this Main God!
"Stonevilla!? The ancient Sea God Stonevilla! How could you possibly still be alive!? You should have died long ago! "
