Chapter 278 - Skeleton Angel (1/2)
The battle ended faster than Roy expected.
Solmyr, who stayed to cover the retreat of the alliance army, was actually a very powerful hero. Unfortunately, he did not choose any other magic to practice but chose air magic. His signature Chain Lightning spell was useless against Roy.
This was the advantage of source magic. Not only could it bring stronger magic power to the user, but it could also allow the user to obtain higher resistance to the corresponding magic element. Solmyr and Roy both used lightning as their source, so the final competition was whose magic power was higher. Solmyr’s magic power was not as good as Roy’s, so his lightning could not affect him. On the other hand, Roy’s lightning could cause a certain degree of damage to him. The same logic applied to the lightning titans and storm titans. These titans were often invincible when facing other enemies, but they were defeated by Roy. The only thing they could rely on was their physical strength. Unfortunately, the titans had never been known for their speed and agility. Even though these titans could easily beat him to death with their combined strength, they could not catch him at all.
This led to the remaining titans repeatedly roaring angrily throughout the entire battle. They struck as fierce as tigers but could only turn around in place while panting heavily from exhaustion. Roy continuously killed them one by one.
After all, this world was a world ruled by dragons. Roy did not know if the titans in this world had bloodline problems, but they were not actually too powerful. At least, it was easy for him to deal with the remaining dozens of titans.
Roy did not rush to kill the remaining green dragons and emerald dragons at first. Although these green dragons had only just matured, their acid dragon breath was just as greatly beneficial to him. Therefore, while evading and killing the titans, he continuously lured the green dragons to attack him with dragon breaths and then devoured the dragon breaths.
This feeling was strange. It felt like he was eating the saliva of the green dragons. But under the enhancement of Dragon Slayer Magic, these dragon breaths constantly transformed into his physical strength and magic power recovery. This feeling was like a group of green dragons was healing him, making it easier for him to kill the titans.
At the same time, Roy’s acid and poison resistance increased rapidly through devouring these dragon breaths. He did not have resistances in these elements in the past, so their growth speed was rapid.
Gradually, the acid dragon breath that could cause him some damage at the start no longer worked afterward.
Roy knew that the higher the resistance brought by devouring the same element dragon breath, the weaker the effect became. So when he found that the absorption effect was no longer much, he began killing these green dragons that had completed their mission.
The green dragons flying in the air wailed as they fell one after another. Their massive weights smashed onto the ground and caused it to tremble. They all had gaping wounds on their bodies. These wounds were either caused by Frostmourne or the Sword of Frost. Because the wounds caused by the Sword of Frost froze due to the ultra-low temperature, it allowed them to last a little while longer. But before they could recover from their self-healing abilities, they were bitten by their companions who had fallen to Mind Distortion.
Finally, these green dragons exhausted their last traces of blood in their struggle and died.
As for the angels left behind by Archbishop Alaric, they had also died. The difference was that they had ended up dying in the hands of their zombie companions… Roy originally thought that beings like angels, even artificial angels, would not transform into undead. After all, they were existences with holy souls. But he still underestimated the power of Frostmourne, which had advanced to a divine artifact. Those angels that collapsed because of Mind Distortion turned into very special undead!
After they died and their souls were taken away by Roy, the flesh and blood of these angels dissipated, leaving only a pile of pitch-black skeletons. Even the wings on their backs had lost all their feathers, leaving only a pair of bone wings.
When the first skeleton angel rose, to be honest, even Roy was shocked. He realized that he seemed to have created a new type of undead that had never existed in the Ashan world before through Frostmourne!
This was likely because after being injured by Frostmourne, the angels could no longer use the power of holy light under the effect of Mind Distortion. The moment they fell into madness, their firm will and pious hearts no longer existed. Under such circumstances, their bodies could no longer restrain holy light power, and the holy light power left them.
Therefore, after they died, holy light no longer protected their corpses, allowing their corpses to be transformed into undead…
When the skeleton angels rose one by one and attacked their former companions, Roy saw a look of extreme horror in the eyes of the remaining angels. Even the angels with firm wills had such emotions, showing how great the psychological impact the skeleton angels had on them. To be frank, these skeleton angels probably made the angels feel even more furious and terrified than fallen angels like Julia!
Finally, the last remaining four-winged angel was unwilling to continue fighting. He turned around and flew into the sky, wanting to escape the battlefield.
