Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 331 Cleaning the Battlefield

The moment Roy swallowed Kha-Beleth’s soul, the first chain reaction he caused was the collapse of the demon army.

Among the surviving high-rank demons, especially the ones who were the commanding heroes of the army, strange flames suddenly appeared in front of them and burned to ashes their contracts... Almost all of them had signed a demon contract with Kha-Beleth to protect their interests. But now that Kha-Beleth was dead, one of the parties of the contracts was naturally gone, and it could not continue to take effect. Thus, the moment the contracts burned, the repulsive force of the world started acting on them. These commanding high-rank demons had suffered injuries in the battle with Julia and Benia. As the repulsive force of the world surged over, someone was sucked into a Gate of the Abyss that suddenly opened!

They were directly expelled from this world!

As soon as these commanding demon heroes were expelled, the troops they brought with them through summoning naturally followed their bad luck. Facing the powerful force of world repulsion, low and middle-rank demons found it even harder to resist. They were sucked into the Gate of the Abyss one after another, causing the originally large demon army to immediately welcome a large number of casualties.

This situation not only relieved the alliance soldiers, 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 welcome Isabel’s soul into Heaven, and they had never thought about engaging in a large battle with the demons here. Now that the demons were expelled, the madness from earlier naturally lessened.

Only the demons summoned by Roy were still looking at the angels restlessly. But under Julia’s rebuking, these demons did not attack them. After all, Roy had now achieved his main strategic goal, and there was no need for further conflicts with the angels.

The angels were vigilant as they protected Isabel’s rising soul. After this golden soul entered the Gate of Heaven, they quickly turned around and flew into the Gate of Heaven.

However, the last few angels turned to look at Roy, who was standing motionless on the field below, at the moment the Gate of Heaven closed. They saw with their own eyes that this demon had devoured the soul of a demon lord, and such an enemy would inevitably attract their attention...

After most of the demon army was expelled, there was only a small group of demons left. Other demon heroes had summoned these demons that were still here, but these other demon heroes were not here. Moreover, the other party of the contract was not Kha-Beleth, so a portion of them remained.

Not to mention anything else, 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 they were going to face Roy’s troops next, causing the surviving demons to be dumbfounded.

There was not much remaining of the alliance army led by Gem and Zehir at this point. When the hundreds of thousands of troops attacked Ur-Hekal, more than half of them had perished. Now, after fighting Kha-Beleth’s army and Roy’s army one after the other, there were only about twenty thousand left. Moreover, all of them were the better-protected spellcasters. The rest of the melee troops were almost completely wiped out, and high-level troops such as dragons, titans, and behemoths had suffered even more casualties. After all, these troops were the priority targets in the battle.

With twenty thousand defeated troops, Gem and Zehir looked at the enormous hellhound guarding the valley path, then at Julia and Benia flying in the sky, as well as Roy’s demon army. They were in utter despair because the other demon army that wanted to snatch the Dark Messiah had already collapsed. And just these twenty thousand troops alone could not defeat Roy’s remaining army. Not to mention, there was still Demon Osiris...

“Let’s retreat!” Zehir was still rational and pulled Gem back. “We can’t let the remaining troops be buried here, or else we won’t even be able to leave Eeofol!”

Gem knew that this was the truth, so she gritted her teeth and chose to retreat.

But of course, Julia and Benia could not let them leave so easily, so they led the troops to hunt them down. The vampires under Giovanni’s command, who could not divert their attention to suck blood during the battle earlier, could finally feast on the defeated troops of the alliance army. They laughed maniacally as they pounced at the slow-moving spellcasters and sucked them dry amid cries and screams.

After more than an hour of pursuit, the alliance army finally managed to escape after paying numerous casualties. They only had about two thousand people left. Gem and Zehir were also injured by Julia and Benia during the battle, especially Zehir. He accidentally lost the Staff of Sar-Issus in the chaos...

In the end, Benia picked up this staff. She liked this powerful artifact, so she could not help playing with it.

IS

This battle was undoubtedly a crushing defeat for the alliance army. They had paid a tremendous price of casualties, but it could not be said that they had not obtained anything at all. At least after this battle, the threat of Demon Lord Kha-Beleth no longer existed.

In the history of the Ashan world, Kha-Beleth was a relatively famous demon lord. His death was indeed good news for the people of the Ashan. Unfortunately, the one who eliminated Kha-Beleth was not the alliance army but a stronger demon-Osiris!

Demon Osiris did not leave behind any deeds in the history of Ashan, so the people of Ashan did not know anything about him before. But after this battle, the name of Demon Osiris would spread throughout the 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, cruel, and played with the alliance army and the Demon Sovereign in his hands. Gem and Zehir had both witnessed this.

He would become 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 was that they thought that even though the Dark Messiah was the son of Kha-Beleth, Demon Osiris might keep this Child of Taboo.

They felt that demons were all the same. Osiris killed Kha-Beleth only because he coveted his authority. But in the end, he would also use the Dark Messiah to open Sheogh’s cage and release the other demon lords...

When the demon lords returned to this world, what would happen next?

The Dragon of Chaos, Urgash, would come again! All of Ashan would be destroyed in flames!

Thinking of such tragic consequences, the only thought in the minds of Gem and Zehir, who had managed to escape with great difficulty, was—I must seek Asha’s guidance...

After the pursuers returned, Julia and Benia folded their wings and landed beside Roy. The moment they arrived in front of him, they knelt on one knee, put a hand to their chests, and bowed to him.

They were congratulating him. He had defeated Kha-Beleth and proved his bravery. Even though he had not yet completed the final ritual, Roy was already a true demon lord in Julia’s and Benia’s hearts!

This etiquette was the respect and loyalty to a demon lord...

At this moment, Roy had already digested Kha-Beleth’s soul and memories, and his magic power increased once again. He accepted Julia and Benia’s greeting calmly, but his eyes were now on Cassandra, who was floating out of the valley.

Still in that gorgeous, petal-like lich robe, Cassandra was now a lich master. Since she was last by Isabel’s side, Roy was not surprised when he saw the baby in her arms.

“Is this the Dark Messiah?” Looking at the baby in swaddling clothes, Roy subconsciously reached out to take him.

But unexpectedly, Cassandra’s skeleton arms retracted slightly at this moment. This action stunned Roy.

“Master...” Cassandra said hesitantly. “How... will you treat this child?”

Roy guessed what Cassandra was thinking almost immediately. Even though she had immense hatred at first, Cassandra was a lich transformed from a human woman after all...

“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to a harmless baby!” Roy said.

After hearing Roy’s words, Cassandra silently breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the Dark Messiah. “Queen Isabel named him Sareth...”

Roy’s palm was very big now, and he could gently hold this little baby in the hollow of his palm. Fat Tiger also came over and looked curiously at Sareth in Roy’s palm, feeling that he had never seen such a small person before.

This little human-like baby was worthy of being called the Dark Messiah, and he was full of a powerful dark aura. Roy felt it and found that it was at the middle-rank demon level, close to the high-rank demon level. But this child could not control and use such powerful dark power, so his power was constantly spreading around.

Sareth’s eyes were wide open at this moment. Facing Roy’s ferocious demon appearance, he was not afraid at all. He stretched out his little hand at Roy, seemingly asking for a hug.

This was not a normal infant. Roy could smell the demon smell on him. The blood in his body was likely purple like a demon’s.

Looking at this Child of Taboo, Roy could not help but ask, “Why is he named Sareth? It would have been amazing if it was Dante or Vergil...”

“Wh-what?” Cassandra, Julia, and Benia were stunned when they heard his words, not understanding what he meant.

“It’s nothing!” Roy also realized that he had lost his cool, 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 great inheritance that is waiting for us to receive...”
