Ur-Hekal was a demon city built on a giant volcano.
Along the black ground that was still emitting high temperatures and poisonous smoke, there was a wide magma river flowing slowly halfway up the mountain. This river seemed to be deliberately guided, forming a ring that lingered around the entire mountain range. In the slowly moving magma, bubbles burst from time to time, as though the magma in this river would never cool down.
The various buildings built in the demon city had completely covered the top of the entire mountain range, extending upward in a terraced manner. Although this three-dimensional building method did not look large, its volume was quite high.
After crossing the magma moat, it was the gate of Ur-Hekal. Just this gate was more than twenty meters tall, and a ferocious demon head was carved on it. After Grawl shouted loudly from below the city, an ear-piercing crack came from the gate. It slowly opened, and the ferocious demon head split into two.
After the gate opened, Roy looked behind the gate to the upper right and found hundreds of strong Longhorn demons wheezing as they pushed a huge wheel. The wheel twisted the thick iron chain, which was the mechanism of the gate.
After entering the city gate, what he saw was a world of darkness and fiery red. The magma of the giant volcano was not only used as a moat, but it was also channeled into the city to create an environment similar to the Abyss. Even though Giovanni and the other vampires were undead, they found this hot environment unbearable.
The buildings in the city were still orderly, but the demons running around were in chaos. They could often see demons fighting and biting each other.
There were a large number of demons in Ur-Hekal. According to Grawl, there were more than a million demons here. Even though this city was very large, it was still very crowded with so many demons in one city.
When Roy and his troops entered the city, they naturally attracted the attention of the demons in the city. After all, this was the base camp of demons, and demons hated and rejected creatures of all other races. In Roy's army, not only were there demons, but there were also undead and zombies. In particular, the two enormous fellows, Fat Tiger and Rafaro, were especially eye-catching.
Fat Tiger was fine. He looked like a three-headed hellhound, and this appearance at least made the demons treat him as one of their kind. But the undead creatures like Rafaro, Cassandra, and Giovanni were provoked by the demons after entering the city!
On the way forward, some low-rank demons on both sides of the road bared their teeth at Rafaro and the others, letting out low roars from their throats. The middle-rank demons kept waving their weapons, looking eager to try.
The provocations from these demons made Rafaro and Giovanni very angry. But seeing that there were demons all around them, they did not dare to respond and could only follow behind Roy with their heads lowered.
Roy knew that this was the nature of demons, so he did not intend to pay attention to Rafaro and the others. But unexpectedly, the demons in the city seemed to misunderstand Roy's meaning. When they found that no other demons were coming to stand up for Rafaro and the others, the demons in the city actually treated Rafaro and the others as' captives'!
Indeed, the demon heroes participating in the war outside would obtain some captives from time to time. If these captives were living creatures, they would often be brought back to be sacrificed. Although undead captives were rare, it was not to say that they did not exist.
Since they were captives, they naturally had low status. With the cruel personalities of the demons in the city, they naturally had to 'play' with them …
No one knew who started it, but a group of low-rank demons attacked first. They rushed into Cassandra's undead army with strange cries and used stones and claws as weapons to attack the undead.
In the undead army led by Cassandra, there was a group of about a few hundred skeleton soldiers. These skeleton soldiers were the first to suffer under the attack of the demons. They had no ability to resist and were torn into countless bone fragments by the low-rank demons. After the low-rank demons tore apart the skeleton soldiers, they even proudly jumped back and forth on these broken bones, looking like they were having a good time.
Roy was walking at the front with Grawl. After hearing the commotion from the troops behind him, he turned around and saw this scene. He was furious!
He did not care if this was a game of demons or not, but Roy knew that he was now a demon who had 'come to seek shelter'. If he swallowed his anger now, he would definitely be looked down upon by the demons in the city!
Strength, status, and face were the capital that a powerful demon had to have. Roy did not know if there was anyone behind these demons, but no matter what, he only needed to fight back!
"Counterattack! Chop them to death!! "Roy roared.
Cassandra had been waiting for Roy's order for a long time. As soon as she heard Roy's roar, she immediately ordered her death knights to attack!
Hundreds of death knights moved. In the blink of an eye, they rode their skeleton warhorses and rushed into the group of low-rank demons. They raised their sabers with powerful dark power high and then slashed down expressionlessly.
Purple blood splattered, and the screams of the low-rank demons rose and fell one after another. In just five to six seconds, hundreds of them were killed.
Although the death knights did not play much of a role in the previous war, that was because Roy, Julia, and the others were too powerful, so they could not show their usefulness. In fact, death knights had always played the role of the backbone combat strength of the undead in the wars of this world. They were powerful high-level undead, and ordinary low-rank demons were simply courting death against them!
They had no emotion, no pity, and 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 were planning to watch the show, were furious. They rushed forward with their weapons and prepared to kill the death knights Cassandra had sent.
However, at this moment, Roy threw out a black lightning ball, which smashed into where the middle-rank demons were at an extremely fast speed!
With a thunderous rumble, countless black lightning bolts exploded and rushed into the crowd of middle-rank demons. Every middle-rank demon touched by them instantly twitched and fell to the ground, their bodies charred black, and they foamed at the mouth.
Not a single one could withstand it …
Roy's attack directly cleared more than three hundred middle-rank demons in that area. Although he did not kill them, the middle-rank demons were still shocked by such a powerful magic spell.
They raised their heads and looked at Roy in fear. Roy snorted coldly at the right time and suddenly spread his two pairs of enormous demon wings. Powerful magic power pressure instantly swept across the entire scene. Not only did it envelop the entire city gate area, but it also quickly spread out and enveloped all of Ur-Hekal!
This time, Roy released his magic power pressure with all his might. Under the cover of his powerful magic power, the air in the entire city trembled, and the tiny gravel particles on the ground slowly floated into the air.
The low-rank demons were wailing and screaming in horror. They hugged their heads and lay on the ground, shivering. Although the middle-rank demons could still stand, their faces were pale and they wanted to vomit. Even the high-rank demons that Roy summoned felt extremely heavy and uncomfortable.
But what was different was that these high-rank demons stared at Roy's figure with burning eyes!
They were summoned by Roy and could be considered his partners. But they did not know how strong Roy was before. Only after truly feeling Roy's vast magic power did they realize that they had encountered a treasure this time!
Roy was already floating in the air. Above his head, the black clouds formed by volcanic ash were slowly stirring, forming an enormous black vortex. The center of the vortex was undoubtedly pointing at Roy.
At least 90% of the nearly one million demons in the entire city were terrified under Roy's pressure …
"Your Excellency Osiris, please calm down!"
Grawl's shout came from below. Although Grawl was wearing a helmet, his face was covered in cold sweat. He was also a high-rank demon, and he felt that the gap between him and Roy was too great. But he had to stop Roy. After all, this was Ur-Hekal. If Roy impulsively slaughtered other demons, it would definitely attract the wrath of Sovereign Kha-Beleth.
"Your Excellency Osiris, please retract your magic power!" Grawl said respectfully. "I hope you don't lower yourself to the level of these damn idiots. I'll pass down the order to restrain them!"
Roy snorted coldly and stopped while he was ahead. He folded his wings and landed on the ground. He said to Grawl with a ferocious expression, "Don't make a mistake. Although I'm a demon, it doesn't mean that I have to join the Sheogh camp. My troops are still my troops, not your Sheogh troops! So don't attack my people without permission, even if they're undead! "
"Understood! I understand! "Grawl nodded." I'll restrain them now! "
With that, Grawl turned his head and roared angrily at the demons in the city, "Scram back to your lair! Damned fools! "
When the low-rank and middle-rank demons heard this, they immediately screamed in horror and fled in all directions. After a while, the scene was quiet, 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 ahead suddenly exploded, and a pillar of flames appeared out of thin air!
This pillar of fire brought with it a violent heat that could be said to have shot straight into the sky. However, this was not the end. Immediately after, several similar pillars of fire appeared on the ground in front of them.
These pillars of fire did not last long and quickly disappeared. But after the pillars of fire dissipated, several figures appeared where the pillars of fire had risen.
The leader was a tall demon with fiery red skin and a pair of blade-shaped demon horns. The moment Roy saw this figure, his eyes lit up!
Because this tall demon was none other than Xeron!
Xeron was dressed in armor and had a long cloak on his back. Behind him was a group of high-rank demon heroes of different shapes.
As soon as he appeared, Xeron first saw Grawl, then turned his gaze to Roy.
Roy had been staring at him, so he naturally saw the deep doubt in his eyes. He immediately realized that Xeron could not recognize him.
"Who are you?" Xeron raised his chin and said arrogantly. "Were you the one who released the magic power pressure just now?"
Clearly, Roy's wanton magic power had alarmed all the demon heroes in the city, and they could not recognize this unfamiliar magic power pressure, so they all chose to come out and check.
While Xeron was observing Roy, Roy was also observing him. Then Roy found that Xeron had become even stronger than before. At least in terms of the magic power he was emitting, he was not much different from Roy.
From the looks of it, after being killed by the dragons once, Xeron seemed to have worked hard. Or perhaps he really obtained tremendous benefits from Demon Lord Kha-Beleth …
In response to Xeron's question, Roy replied casually, "Don't be surprised. I just casually said hello …"
