Chapter 358 - Gathering the Set (1/2)
The Armageddon that Xeron attacked Roy with back then had actually been cast with great difficulty. The passages constructed by the magic power of high-rank demons could naturally only attract smaller meteors, so the destruction caused was naturally smaller.
And this meteor that Roy directly pulled with Psychokinesis was a gigantic meteorite with a diameter of more than one kilometer. Although the flying speed and distance were not enough (pulled down from low-Earth orbit), its power was still terrifying. The moment it hit the Valley of Ghosts, it was like a high-yield nuclear warhead exploding, and a powerful shock wave instantly swept through the entire valley!
The Valley of Ghosts, which covered an area of about forty square kilometers, was razed to the ground. Under the impact of the blast, the mountains shattered and were completely flattened. The trees, rocks, and water in the valley burned and vaporized in an instant. A vast amount of smoke and dust rose with the airflow and turned into a grayish-white mushroom cloud that rose slowly into the sky from the valley.
All the defensive structures in the Valley of Ghosts were destroyed as easily as dried twigs. The undead entrenched in the valley were blown into powder before they could even react. The stronger high-level undead like bone dragons and death knights did not have much resistance either. They were either crushed into pieces or directly buried.
After the dust settled, the original Valley of Ghosts disappeared, and what appeared in front of Roy was an enormous crater. At the bottom of the crater was scorching hot lava, and within a radius of more than forty kilometers, it could be said that humans and animals had become extinct, and not even a blade of grass grew.
Had the demon army not withdrawn under Roy’s command, it would have suffered heavy casualties under this attack.
Giovanni had not been able to take down the Valley of Ghosts for several days, and Roy could not waste more time on it, so he decisively chose to destroy it…
After the temperature in the valley cooled down a bit, the demon army dared to approach. Giovanni brought his trembling vampires and the demon army to search for Markal’s corpse.
Soon, they found Markal’s corpse at the edge of the impact. Although he had escaped in advance, Markal was still unable to escape the attack range of the destructive shock wave in such a short time. Although he condensed all the magic power in his body to resist the shock wave, he still ultimately became a tattered corpse.
Giovanni searched his corpse for a while and found several artifacts. Finally, he found a finger buried in the ground farther away and found the Ring of the Broken Will that Roy wanted from this severed finger.
Fortunately, he could find this small severed finger from the messy ground…
After getting the ring, Roy was very satisfied and said to Giovanni, “Markal is dead, and the kingdom of Heresh should no longer have the power to stop you. I won’t care about what happens next!”
“Yes, Your Lordship!” A fanatical light flashed in Giovanni’s eyes. Roy’s attack had truly shocked him. He believed that after the destruction and tragedy of the Valley of Ghosts spread, no death lords in the entire Kingdom of Heresh would dare to resist him. As long as he gathered a batch and killed another batch, he could integrate all the undead and become the ruler of Heresh, becoming the true undead monarch.
Under the awe and worshipful gazes of Giovanni and the demons, Roy flew away on Rafaro and returned to Ur-Hekal.
Not long after he returned to Ur-Hekal, he sensed magic power fluctuations coming from the teleportation formation in the city. It seemed like someone had used teleportation magic to return to Ur-Hekal.
Sure enough, the people who returned were Julia and Benia, and they came back with another person. It was a succubus who looked exactly like Benia. Roy immediately guessed that this was Benia’s sister, Biara.
As the high-rank succubus who had the same status as Xeron and had been secretly carrying out Kha-Beleth’s scheme, Biara’s current situation was very miserable. There were several cracks on her helmet, and one of the demon horns on her forehead was broken. Her entire body was full of burn marks, and even her tail was missing.
Benia had tightly bound her hands and feet with thick rune chains and tied them behind her. Her whole body was bent, and she did not look like a demon but a pig waiting to be slaughtered.
Even Roy found her pitiful…
“Your Lordship, I’m back!” Benia was in high spirits. She threw Biara onto the ground casually. Then she sashayed to Roy’s side, held his arm, and looked up at him with seductive eyes. “I caught my sister!”
