Demons were experts at playing with souls, so it was very easy for them to possess bodies.
But in fact, very few demons took such actions. The reason was, of course, very simple. It was the compatibility between the soul and the body.
Due to his experience with the soul replacement of the illusion demon César, Roy knew very well what kind of adverse consequences would occur if a demon rashly changed his soul into a body that was not so compatible. Moreover, generally speaking, if the body did not obtain the corresponding power, then even if the demon changed bodies, they would fall into a pit.
Kha-Beleth's current body was destroyed, but he seemed to have signed a contract with the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash, so his soul did not return to the Abyss. The Ouroboros Mark naturally could not reconstruct his body. In this way, if Kha-Beleth did not want to survive in such a dangerous state as his soul, he had to find another body.
Logically speaking, the Dark Messiah had half of Kha-Beleth's bloodline, so this child was definitely the best candidate for Kha-Beleth's soul to possess because the compatibility would be very high.
However, Kha-Beleth was not as ignorant as the illusion demon César. He should know very well that even if he was crowned with the names of the Dark Messiah and the Child of Taboo, it could not hide the fact that this was a baby. If he possessed the body of the Dark Messiah, then he would turn from a flame behemoth into a two-inch-long baby. This was simply a nightmare for him.
In addition, the Dark Messiah was originally an important tool in Kha-Beleth's plan, so Roy was certain that if Kha-Beleth wanted to possess him, he would most likely not have any ideas about the Dark Messiah. He might have targeted others.
There were many targets to choose from. Cassandra, Julia, Benia, Giovanni, and Rafaro. They all had very powerful dark power and should be Kha-Beleth's first choice. Especially Julia, she also knew how to use the power of flames and was most compatible with Kha-Beleth. Although Roy doubted that Kha-Beleth would mind becoming a woman, it was not impossible for him to jump over the wall in a moment of desperation …
Therefore, Roy had to rush over as soon as possible. It was not easy to set up a trap and kill Kha-Beleth to this extent. Of course, Roy did not want Kha-Beleth to cause any more trouble at the last moment …
Standing in place, Roy opened the system interface and began to make the MP potion. After consuming more than a hundred souls, Roy made a bottle of potion that could restore a small amount of his magic power and drank it.
After drinking this bit of magic power potion, it was a drop in the bucket for his total magic power, but it also nourished his originally depleted magic power. With the bonus of the Cold Winter Armor, his magic power began to recover rapidly.
It only took about a minute or two. Roy estimated that his magic power was enough, so he activated the Teleport skill.
With a whoosh, Roy disappeared and appeared beside Fat Tiger the next second.
At this moment, Kha-Beleth's soul had yet to fly to this battlefield … The flying speed of souls was too slow. If Kha-Beleth had known that Roy had this kind of precise teleportation bound to Fat Tiger, he might not have come to this battlefield at all …
As for Roy, when he teleported to Fat Tiger's side, he saw Gem, Zehir, and the others leading the alliance army to attack the col with all their might.
As expected, Roy guessed correctly. To Gem and the others, the most important thing was Queen Isabelle. She was the spiritual symbol of the kingdom of Erathia, and she could not be lost. As for the Son of Darkness in her stomach, he was the target that had to be eliminated!
Therefore, after discovering the birth of the Dark Messiah, Gem and Zehir immediately reached a consensus. They split off a portion of their army and launched an attack on Roy's army. They broke through the defensive line and attacked Cassandra and Fat Tiger, vowing to eliminate the Dark Messiah.
In a cave deep in the col, Cassandra was waiting for Isabelle.
The moment she was about to give birth, Isabelle woke up from her coma. But she had no time to be surprised by the skeleton lich guarding her. The severe abdominal pain made her sweat profusely.
Fortunately, this terrifying-looking lich did not harm her. Instead, it squatted down to help her deliver the baby, making Isabelle trust Cassandra a little.
The power of darkness spread in the cave. After Isabelle gave birth to the Dark Messiah, she was so tired that she was about to collapse. But the most terrifying thing was that she knew what kind of child she had given birth to!
If the Dark Messiah looked like a demon, then perhaps Isabelle would have gritted her teeth and strangled this child with the umbilical cord! Don't doubt that she was the queen of Erathia. If she did not even have this awareness, she would not have been able to sit in this position … But unfortunately, after the Dark Messiah was born, he looked like a human baby, and he was very cute …
Looking at the child's cute appearance, Isabelle's heart softened. Even though he was a product born without any feelings, as a mother, the radiance of humanity covered her fear at this moment. She lowered her head and kissed the Dark Messiah's forehead with tears streaming down her face before looking up at Cassandra.
"The child is innocent. Please, don't hurt him, okay?" Isabelle begged Cassandra.
Cassandra did not say anything and just looked quietly at Isabelle, who was holding the child. After a moment of silence, she said, "Do you really want to keep him?"
"I don't know …" Isabelle's eyes were confused, and tears could not stop flowing. "Perhaps … this is his fate …"
"Have you thought it through? He might become someone who destroys your world in the future! " Cassandra said. "He will bring great panic to the entire world. He will become an existence stronger than demon lords!"
"But he's still a human!" Isabelle suddenly said with certainty. "He's my child, and he has the bloodline of the Griffin Kingdom. As long as I teach him well, who can guarantee that he won't become a sharp sword that kills demons?!"
Cassandra did not say anything else. She knew that this might be an excuse a mother found to convince herself.
Isabelle hugged the Dark Messiah, and her face exuded the radiance of motherly love. But in Cassandra's perception, Isabelle's life was flowing away at an unimaginable speed. After all, the Dark Messiah was not a baby born in a normal state. He was born by absorbing a large amount of life force, and naturally, there was also the life force of Isabelle, the mother. Now that the Dark Messiah was born, it meant that Isabelle's life was about to come to an end …
Isabelle probably understood this herself, so she cherished the last time she spent with this child.
Cassandra did not disturb Isabelle. Instead, she walked to the entrance of the cave and watched Fat Tiger guarding the road and fighting the alliance army.
What was rare was that the alliance army had temporarily joined forces with Kha-Beleth's demon army. The alliance army wanted to kill the Dark Messiah, and Kha-Beleth's demon army wanted to snatch him back. But whether it was to kill or snatch him back, they needed to see the Dark Messiah first.
Roy's troops were under immense pressure at this moment. Julia, Benia, and the others were fighting Gem and Zehir, while Rafaro, Giovanni, and the others were fighting the alliance army's dragons and flying demons. After this chaotic battle developed to this extent, there were already faint signs of it getting out of control.
On the mountain path, Fat Tiger guarded the pass, and ten thousand people could not get through. His enormous body, which was not inferior to Kha-Beleth's, was the best wall here. Anyone who tried to cross him would be cruelly bitten to death and trampled. But correspondingly, Fat Tiger also suffered a lot of damage. Countless arrows and countless spells continuously shot at his enormous body. If not for Fat Tiger's current strong defense, he would not have been able to hold on long ago.
Just as Cassandra was hesitating whether to help, she saw a flash of light beside Fat Tiger, and Roy appeared!
The moment Roy appeared, he floated in the air, and the demon wings on his back spread to the extreme. The demon runes on his wings flashed, and he did not roar. An enormous Force Field of Fear spread out and instantly enveloped a large area, causing the enemies besieging Fat Tiger to immediately fall into great chaos.
Demon Osiris appeared, but Demon Lord Kha-Beleth was nowhere to be seen. This scene made Gem, Zehir, and the others feel as if they were about to die.
On the contrary, the morale of Roy's troops was greatly boosted, especially Rafaro. After seeing Roy appear, he realized that Roy had won the battle with the demon lord, so he let out an earth-shaking dragon roar. Then he bared his fangs and brandished his claws, pounced on the golden dragons and green dragons in the sky with a ferocious expression, and wantonly absorbed their life force.
He could not wait to complete his final resurrection ritual …
Roy's magic power had not fully recovered, so he did not contribute much. But because of his appearance, the counterattack against the alliance army and the demon army began.
In the cave, Cassandra was relieved when she saw this scene. She walked back and came to Isabelle.
At this moment, Isabelle was already on the verge of death. She knew that her death was near, so she looked at Cassandra with pleading eyes and handed the Dark Messiah in her arms to her. "I know that you were once a human, so can you … take care of this child for me? Regardless of whether he becomes a human or a demon in the future, I just want him to grow up healthily … "
Cassandra stood there in a daze for a while, as if she had not expected that Isabel would entrust the child to her. However, looking at the child's sleeping appearance, Cassandra could not help but take the child.
Cassandra stared blankly at the baby in her arms for a while before remembering to ask, "Does he … have a name?"
"Silas! Call him Silas … "Isabelle said, her voice getting softer and softer. Finally, when she finished speaking, she fell into an eternal slumber.
After she died, a dazzling golden noble soul stood out. This soul passed through the top of the cave and slowly rose into the sky. In the sky, the light of the soul was like a real sun …
