Chapter 311 - All Out (1/2)
With the appearance of Kha-Beleth, the temperature of the entire battlefield suddenly rose more than ten degrees.
In the clouds above Ur-Hekal, the area within a hundred kilometers had turned fiery red, and these red smoke clouds slowly rotated, stirring into an enormous spinning fire cloud.
Under the worship and fearful eyes of countless demons bowing their heads, Kha-Beleth slowly walked out of the city gate of Ur-Hekal. He was wearing a suit of armor burning like flames, and his boots made ‘clang’ sounds as he stepped on the ground. Under his incomparably formidable flame power, wherever he went, the ground would turn black…
The entire battlefield was now abnormally silent. Only his footsteps sounded. With every step he took, the hearts of the alliance soldiers thumped violently.
Kha-Beleth was now in his true form, but he had no choice but to teleport to Ur-Hekal. The reason was naturally that Isabel was taken away by accident. Raelag’s actions utterly enraged the demon sovereign, causing him to chase here at all costs.
At his waist was a sinister two-handed sword. When he arrived on the battlefield, he slowly pulled out this giant demon sword and inserted it into the ground. The demons gathered like a tide behind him.
Gem, Zehir, and Gorshak were speechless when they saw Kha-Beleth. Not only them but also all the high-level troops of the alliance army. The titans, dragons, and behemoths were nervous, as though they were facing a mighty enemy.
To be honest, the alliance army had never thought that the war would suddenly turn into a battle with a demon lord…
In the history of the world of Ashan, the most recent record of fighting against an incomparably powerful demon lord traced back to a thousand years ago. Although the Seventh Dragon Sar-Elam had sealed the demons in Sheogh to protect Ashan from being destroyed by the demon lords, he had to admit that his action had caused the later generations to lose powerful enemies as their opponents, leading to their combat ability continuously decreasing.
And now, a demon lord had appeared. In the entire battlefield, there was no one who could resist Kha-Beleth…
A so-called demon lord was an existence below one and above ten thousand in the demon hierarchy. Such an existence could destroy a country at will. As long as he had enough time, he could destroy the entire world of Ashan.
Gem and the others knew very well that in order to deal with a demon lord, they had to gather the strength of all races in Ashan and make immense sacrifices to succeed.
“We’re… in deep trouble this time!” Zehir stared at Kha-Beleth’s tall body with despair in his eyes.
“Is it too late for us to turn around and run now?” Even the orc Gorshak, who had always been known for his bravery and fearlessness, wanted to retreat.
“No!” Only Gem shook her head firmly. “The appearance of Kha-Beleth means that Sheogh’s seal has really been broken. Even if we can escape now, when Kha-Beleth’s scheme succeeds, the entire world of Ashan will perish under the flames of war. We will also die. We might as well do everything we can to stall him and let Raelag escape with Queen Isabel!”
“That’s right!” Zehir also understood and heaved a long sigh. “Isabel is our hope. As long as she is still alive, we can expose the demons’ scheme and get Erathia to return to the right track. Although I don’t want to admit it, when it comes to dealing with demons, we really need the power of those angels…”
“Then, let’s fight to the death here!” Gorshak said. “Although I’ve never thought that I would die for a human…”
“Haha! Same! I never thought that I would die to protect a dark elf!” Gem laughed.
After the three of them finished talking and laughing, they urged their mounts to take a few steps forward. They stood in front of the alliance army and faced Kha-Beleth and the demon army opposite them.
“Warriors of Ashan!” Taking a deep breath, Gem said loudly, “You have all seen that a powerful demon has appeared! I know that you are afraid and terrified at this moment, but… have you thought about it? If we allow this demon lord to do as he pleases, then our homes, our families, and our children will die all tragically. Their souls will be toyed with by the demons as they wish, and they will not even be able to rest in peace…”
With Gem’s voice, the soldiers of the alliance army gradually regained their senses and could think again. They struggled to stand up, hitting their trembling legs, feeling resentful for their weakness, forcing themselves to stand up and listen to Gem’s speech.
