The moment Roy swallowed Kha-Beleth's soul into his stomach, the first chain reaction was the collapse of the demon army.
Among the surviving high-rank demons, especially the few high-rank demons who were leading the army, inexplicable flames suddenly appeared in front of them, and a contract document burned in the flames … Almost all of them had signed a demon contract with Kha-Beleth to protect their own interests. But now that Kha-Beleth was dead, one of the parties to the contract naturally no longer existed and could no longer continue to take effect. Thus, the moment the contract was burned, the repulsive force of the world attached itself to them.
These high-rank demons had been injured in the battle with Julia and Benia. As soon as the repulsive force of the world surged, some people were sucked into the Gates of the Abyss that suddenly opened!
They were directly expelled from this world!
As soon as these demon heroes were expelled, the troops they brought through summoning methods naturally met with misfortune. Facing the powerful repulsive force of the world, it was even more difficult for middle-rank and low-rank demons to resist. They were sucked into the Gates of the Abyss that suddenly opened one after another, causing the large number of demon armies to suffer a large-scale reduction in numbers.
This situation not only made the alliance soldiers heave a sigh of relief, but it also made the angels who came out of the Gate of Heaven heave a sigh of relief. These angels were only here to guide Isabel's soul into Heaven, and they had never thought of having a large-scale war with the demons here. Now that the demons were expelled, the madness from before naturally lessened.
Only the demons summoned by Roy were still looking at the angels, eager to make a move. But under Julia's reprimand, these demons did not attack the angels. After all, Roy's side had already achieved their main strategic goal, and there was no need to have a greater conflict with the angels.
Therefore, the angels remained vigilant while protecting Isabel's soul as it continued to ascend. After this golden soul entered the Gate of Heaven, they quickly turned around and flew into it.
However, the last few angels turned their heads to look at Roy, who was standing motionless on the field, the moment the Gate of Heaven closed. They had seen with their own eyes that this demon had devoured the soul of a demon lord, and such an enemy would definitely attract their attention …
After most of them were expelled, only a small portion of the demon army was left. These demons who were still here had been summoned by other demon heroes. However, these other demon heroes were not here, and they might not have signed a contract with Kha-Beleth, so a portion of them remained.
Not to mention others, at least Benia's sister, Biara, the succubus who had transformed into Queen Isabel, might have left a portion of the troops she summoned in Ur-Hekal …
However, these remaining troops were not necessarily lucky because what they had to face next was Roy's troops, causing the surviving demons to be dumbfounded.
There were not many alliance troops left led by Gem and Zehir. More than half of the hundreds of thousands of troops had died when they attacked Ur-Hekal. Now, after the repeated beatings of Kha-Beleth's army and Roy's army, there were only about twenty thousand people left, and all of them were well-protected spell casters. The rest of the melee troops were almost completely wiped out, and high-level troops such as dragons, titans, and behemoths had all died. After all, these troops were the priority targets in the battle.
With these twenty thousand defeated troops, Gem and Zehir looked at the enormous hellhound guarding the valley passage, then at Julia, Benia, and Roy's demon troops flying in the sky. They were in complete despair because the demon army that wanted to recapture the Dark Messiah had already collapsed. It was impossible for them to defeat Roy's remaining army with just twenty thousand people.
Not to mention, there was still Demon Osiris at the scene …
"Let's go and retreat!" Zehir was still rational. He pulled Gem and said, "We can't let the remaining troops die here. Otherwise, we won't even be able to leave Eeofol!"
Gem knew that this was the truth, so she could only grit her teeth and choose to retreat.
But of course, Julia and Benia would not let them leave so easily, so they led the troops and began to chase after them. The vampires under Giovanni, who could not divert their attention to suck blood during the battle, could now finally eat their fill facing the defeated army of the alliance army. They laughed wildly as they pounced on the slow-moving spell casters. Amidst the cries and screams, they sucked them dry one by one.
After more than an hour of pursuit, the alliance army finally escaped after paying a large number of casualties. But they only had about two thousand people left. Gem and Zehir were also injured by Julia and Benia in the battle. Especially Zehir, he had accidentally lost the Staff of Sarethus in the chaos …
In the end, Benia picked up the staff. She liked this powerful treasure, so she played with it lovingly.
This battle was undoubtedly a crushing defeat for the alliance army. They had paid an enormous price of casualties, but it could not be said that they did not gain anything at all. At least after this battle, the threat of Demon Lord Kha-Beleth no longer existed.
In the history of Ashan, Kha-Beleth was a relatively famous demon lord. His death was indeed good news for the people of Ashan. But unfortunately, it was not the alliance army that destroyed Kha-Beleth but an even more powerful Demon Osiris!
Demon Osiris had not left any deeds in the history of Ashan, so the people of Ashan knew nothing about him. But after this battle, the name of Demon Osiris would spread throughout the entire world through the mouths of Gem and Zehir.
This was a demon who could spread terrifying plagues and had powerful combat strength. He was cunning and cruel, toying with the alliance army and demon lords in the palm of his hands. This was something that Gem and Zehir had witnessed with their own eyes.
He would be a new demon lord that could threaten the entire world of Ashan!
Moreover, the most worrying thing was the Dark Messiah! The reason why Gem and Zehir wanted to kill the Dark Messiah in the end was that they felt that even if the Dark Messiah was Kha-Beleth's son, Demon Osiris might keep this Child of Taboo.
They felt that demons were all the same. Osiris had killed Kha-Beleth because he coveted Kha-Beleth's power. But in the end, he would use the Dark Messiah to open Sheogh's cage and release the other demon lords …
The demon lords returned to the world, so what would happen next?
The Dragon of Chaos, Urgash, would return! The entire world of Ashan would be destroyed in flames!
Thinking of such tragic consequences, Gem and Zehir, who had finally escaped, only had one thought in their minds: I have to seek Asha's guidance …
… …
After chasing the defeated soldiers and returning, Julia and Benia folded their wings and landed beside Roy. As soon as they arrived in front of him, they knelt on one knee and placed their hands on their chests to salute him.
They were congratulating Roy. Roy had defeated Kha-Beleth and proved his bravery. Even though he had yet to complete the final ritual baptism, in their hearts, Roy was already a true demon lord!
This etiquette was a show of respect and loyalty to a Demon Lord …
At this moment, Roy had already digested Kha-Beleth's soul and memories, and his magic power had increased again. He calmly accepted Julia and Benia's etiquette, but his eyes were now looking at Cassandra, who was floating out of the valley.
She was still wearing the gorgeous, petal-like lich robe. Cassandra was now a lich master. Since she was the last to accompany Isabel, Roy was not surprised when he saw the baby in her arms.
"Is this the Dark Messiah?" Looking at the infant in the swaddling clothes, Roy subconsciously reached out to take him.
But unexpectedly, Cassandra's skeletal arm retracted slightly at this moment. This action stunned Roy.
"Master …" Cassandra said hesitantly, "How … will you treat this child?"
Roy guessed Cassandra's thoughts almost immediately. Even though she harbored immense hatred back then, Cassandra was a lich transformed from a human woman after all …
"Don't worry. I won't go so far as to attack a harmless baby!" Roy said.
After hearing Roy's words, Cassandra heaved a sigh of relief and handed the Dark Messiah over. "Queen Isabel named him Sareth …"
Roy's palm was very big now, and he could easily pinch this small baby in his palm. Fat Tiger came over at this moment, and his three heads looked curiously at Sareth in Roy's palm. He felt that he had never seen such a small person before.
He was indeed worthy of being the Dark Messiah. This small human-looking baby was exuding a powerful dark aura all over his body. Roy sensed it and found that it was almost at the level of a middle-rank demon and was almost close to a high-rank demon. But this child could not control and use such powerful dark power at all, so the power was constantly spreading around him.
Sareth's eyes were open at this moment. Facing Roy's ferocious demon appearance, he did not feel afraid at all. He stretched out his small hand to meet Roy's, as though asking for a hug.
This was not a normal baby. Roy smelled the demon scent on him. The blood in his body might be purple like a demon's.
Looking at this Child of Taboo, Roy could not help but ask, "Why is he called Sareth? It would be amazing if he were called Dante or Virgil … "
"Wh-what?" Cassandra, Julia, and Benia were stunned when they heard Roy's words, not understanding what he meant.
"Nothing!" Roy realized that he had lost his composure, so he handed Sareth to Cassandra and let her hold him. "Let's go back to Ur-Hekal. Kha-Beleth and Xeron left us a huge inheritance, and they're waiting for us to receive it …"
