In fact, if Kha-Beleth wanted to escape completely, he still had a choice.
That was to return to Sheogh in the form of a soul!
As long as he could return to Sheogh, with the help of the similarly imprisoned demon lords, Kha-Beleth might be able to reconstruct his body and complete his resurrection.
But the problem was, what kind of place was Sheogh? Although it was nominally the base camp of demons in this world, the real situation was a complete prison. Just think about it. A group of demon lords who could destroy a country with a wave of their hands could only stay in a small place sullenly. Usually, they did not have entertainment activities like playing Landlord or Hearthstone, so they could only stare at each other every day.
Anyone would go crazy after staying here for a thousand years, right?
Therefore, after Kha-Beleth finally came out, he never had the thought of 'returning to Sheogh' …
When he rushed to the battlefield, he immediately sensed Roy's existence. This was simply bad news for him. This meant that Roy had come to intercept him in advance. He really did not give him any chance to approach the Dark Messiah.
At first, Kha-Beleth wanted to turn around and run. Everyone knew that his soul state could not pose any threat to Roy at all. But at this moment, he saw Rafaro, who had completed his resurrection and had advanced in strength.
This was simply … a godsend opportunity! A black dragon with the power of a demon lord was rare in this world. Most importantly, black dragons were creatures that were born with the dark attribute and were quite compatible with demons. Since ancient times, black dragons had been favored by demons, be it as mounts or subordinates. A black dragon as a body was not unacceptable to Kha-Beleth.
Therefore, Kha-Beleth rushed forward …
In the brand-new body that he had just obtained, a soul suddenly appeared, making Rafaro stunned for a while. When he reacted, he found that this soul was already fighting with him for control of his body, so he was furious!
"Get out!!!"
Everyone on the battlefield heard Rafaro's roar. Then everyone watched dumbfounded. Faceless Rafaro, who had just been slaughtering majestically, was fiercely … slapping his head with his claws!
So ruthless? You won't even let me off?
But then, Rafaro performed an even stranger scene for them. He flapped his wings in the air, flapping and stopping, causing him to move up and down. He clearly wanted to spit out dragon breath, but when the dragon breath reached his mouth, he immediately closed his mouth and swallowed it back. Rafaro's entire dragon seemed to have gone crazy as he fought himself in the air.
Outsiders found it strange and comical, but inside Rafaro's body, it was extremely dangerous. If Kha-Beleth wanted to seize Rafaro's body, without the assistance of a ritual, he could only rely on the most primitive method to seize it — devour! Between him and Rafaro, one soul had to disappear. Of course, Kha-Beleth hoped that he would survive.
And what about Rafaro? After he died back then, his soul had been preserved by chance. In the middle, he had been summoned by Arantir and enslaved as an undead for many years. It was definitely not easy for him to survive until now, so Rafaro cherished this hard-won resurrection. How could he be willing to be devoured by a demon lord?
Therefore, the souls of the two were currently fighting in this dragon body. Of course, there was no technique to speak of in a battle at the soul level. It only depended on whose soul quality was higher. In this regard, Rafaro was definitely inferior to Kha-Beleth.
Kha-Beleth was a demon lord, and demons were experts at playing with souls. They strengthened themselves by devouring souls, and this strengthening naturally included their own souls. Rafaro had never devoured the souls of others, so his soul was naturally at a disadvantage. When the two souls collided continuously, his soul melted every time.
One side was strong, and the other was weak. Rafaro naturally began to lose control of his body, so when he realized that if he continued like this, his soul would really dissipate, he used all his strength to control his body and let out a wail. "Your Excellency Osiris! Save me!! "
Previously, when he called Roy, he would not add the suffix 'Your Excellency'. But now, he was willing to use this title because the only one he could count on now was Roy.
As soon as this cry for help resounded throughout the battlefield, a figure appeared beside Rafaro's enormous body.
Roy spread his wings and floated in the air with a sinister smile. "I can save you, Rafaro, but you might not be able to keep this newly resurrected body of yours. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Of … of course! I'd rather lose … my body than let him succeed! " Rafaro said with difficulty, but then his tone immediately changed. "Osiris, all I want is a body! As long as you promise not to interfere, then after I seize this body, I'll immediately turn around and leave. From then on, I'll avoid you. I can give you everything I have! "
Clearly, Rafaro controlled his body when he said the first sentence, but Kha-Beleth controlled his body to say the second sentence.
However, even though he was clear, Roy did not intend to care at all. Whatever Kha-Beleth said was just stalling for time at this moment. Not only did he not have the slightest sincerity, but perhaps he was simply spouting nonsense because both he and Roy knew very well that they were enemies who would not rest until one of them died.
Therefore, Roy directly attacked! He covered his demon claws with a layer of hard Dark Ice Crystals, and he used these ice crystal claws to fiercely dig at Rafaro's eyeball!
Roar!! One of Rafaro's eyes was immediately blinded by Roy. He raised his head and roared in pain. Then he opened his mouth and bit at Roy. It was unclear whether Kha-Beleth controlled this attack or if Rafaro controlled it …
But Roy, who was already prepared, flashed and dodged Rafaro's bite. He pulled onto Rafaro's back, and his claws dug into the black dragon scales on Rafaro's back again.
With the enhancement of Dragon Slayer Magic, any of Roy's attacks could cause double the damage. Roy's claws dug into the hard black dragon scales on Rafaro's back until they were dripping with blood. Roy dug out a few dragon scales that had an area of two square meters.
These black dragon scales were of course good stuff. With the principle of not wasting them, Roy put them into the system space.
Rafaro turned his neck and spat out a thick black pillar of fire at Roy on his back, but it only evaporated the thick ice wall that Roy condensed. The moment the flames disappeared, Frostmourne appeared in Roy's hand and slashed at the root of Rafaro's wings!
With a crack, Roy easily cut half an inch into the dragon bone, which should have been as hard as diamond, causing Rafaro to roar in pain.
Kha-Beleth, who was in Rafaro's body, finally realized that something was wrong. Why did this damn Demon Osiris use some secret technique to cause more damage to this black dragon than when he attacked my main body?!
The black dragon body was clearly known for its defense and magic resistance, but it was like paper in front of Osiris at this moment. Damn it, did I possess a fake black dragon?!
Before Kha-Beleth could figure it out, another wave of intense pain came. Roy's second strike cut into the root of Rafaro's wing. This time, it went deeper. Since Kha-Beleth was fighting for control of Rafaro's body, he naturally had to accept this physical pain.
After a few consecutive strikes, Roy actually removed one of Rafaro's wings!
After losing his wings, Rafaro's enormous body immediately tilted and fell from the sky. Thousands of tons of weight smashed down, and the momentum was extremely astonishing. The alliance army and demons on the ground, who could not dodge in time, were directly crushed into meat patties.
After landing, Kha-Beleth really panicked. He had already sensed Osiris's intentions. Although he could not directly pull out his soul, he could directly destroy this black dragon's body!
This was simply taking drastic measures. Kha-Beleth wanted Rafaro's body because he wanted to use it to survive. But if Roy killed this body, wouldn't his soul also be forced out?
He hurriedly controlled the black dragon's body to stand up. He raised his claws and tail to attack Roy while shouting hysterically, "Are you going to kill your subordinate? Osiris?! "
However, while dodging, Roy stabbed his sword into Rafaro's body again. After absorbing Rafaro's power, he sneered. "You're wrong, Kha-Beleth. This black dragon isn't my subordinate! The moment he completed the resurrection ritual, my contract with him ended! "
Kha-Beleth choked on his words for a long time and could not refute them, so he could only gnash his teeth and communicate with Rafaro inside his body. "Damn stupid dragon. Even if you expel me, you still have to die!"
But Rafaro reacted quickly and laughed wildly. "Even if my body dies, my soul is still here. I'll just find another opportunity to resurrect! But what about you? Do you think Osiris will give your soul a second chance to escape?! "
"I … I …" Kha-Beleth was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. But at this moment, the black dragon's body shook violently, and Roy removed the remaining half of his wings.
This powerful black dragon body was top-notch material for Roy, so he tried his best to dismember it during the battle. Now that he had lost his wings, even if Kha-Beleth succeeded in possessing him, he would not be able to fly again.
"Lunatic! Lunatic! "Kha-Beleth roared in exasperation.
"You shouldn't have chosen me as the target of possession!" Rafaro gloated. "Even if you chose that fallen angel chick, it would be better than choosing me!"
Without Rafaro's deliberate reminder, Kha-Beleth naturally realized that his choice was wrong. But it was too late for him to regret. His soul could not escape and possess another person's body, so he could only resist futilely while waiting for death to come.
Finally, when Roy pierced through Rafaro's dragon scales and Frostmourne directly hit the dragon heart in Rafaro's body, this enormous black dragon finally fell to the ground.
Unlike the last time he could not move, Roy's magic power had almost recovered by more than half. So when the souls of Kha-Beleth and Rafaro finally emerged from their bodies, Roy did not give Kha-Beleth any chance. With one claw, he pinched the souls of Kha-Beleth and Rafaro respectively.
"Your Excellency Osiris!" Rafaro learned his lesson this time and directly begged Roy through soul fluctuations. "On account of me helping you catch Kha-Beleth, please don't devour my soul!"
Roy nodded in satisfaction. "Don't worry, Rafaro. You made the right choice this time, so I promise you that I'll give you a new body."
"R-really?" Rafaro was surprised and pleasantly surprised as he asked Roy in disbelief.
"Of course!" Roy nodded. "I'm very trustworthy!"
However, Roy did not say one thing. Even if he agreed to give Rafaro a body, he could not guarantee whether this body would still be Rafaro's when the time came …
After dealing with Rafaro, Roy turned his head and looked at Kha-Beleth's struggling soul in his right hand. He grinned sinisterly. "Sovereign Kha-Beleth, why did you come back?"
"O … Osiris, let me go!" Kha-Beleth sent a soul fluctuation. "You can have anything you want. Just let me go!"
However, Roy only responded to Kha-Beleth's plea with one action. He opened his mouth and directly swallowed Kha-Beleth's soul!
With a gulp, Roy swallowed Kha-Beleth's soul. The next moment, countless memory scenes appeared in Roy's mind.
Yes, to Roy, although the quality of Kha-Beleth's soul was very high, it was only comparable to a standard soul with a value of thousands in the system. But after devouring his soul, Roy could directly use his memory reading ability to read everything Kha-Beleth knew.
Including Kha-Beleth's life, his plans with other demon lords, his memories of treasures, and … his memories of promoting to demon lord!
