Archimonde and Kil’jaeden were shocked when Roy attacked at the drop of a hat. Facing the countless black light bullets, the two of them quickly crossed their hands in front of their bodies and raised fel energy shields to resist.
However, the two of them didn’t expect that these seemingly small light bullets were surprisingly powerful. In just two seconds, Archimonde and Kil’jaeden were bombarded by thousands of light bullets, and their fel energy shields were already on the verge of collapse.
They couldn’t be beaten passively like this. Before his shield completely collapsed, Kil’jaeden flashed behind Roy and immediately opened his right hand to shoot a lightning bolt at Roy’s back.
The lightning bolt with powerful shadow power directly hit Roy and erupted with a dazzling light. But the energy contained in it encountered stronger resistance. It turned into a sphere of electric light around Roy’s body and was repelled.
Roy didn’t even look back and continued to maintain the Void light bullet bombardment to suppress Archimonde. He swung his tail violently at Kil’jaeden behind him, and his steel whip-like demon tail whipped Kil’jaeden’s waist fiercely, sending him flying.
“Ah!!” Archimonde roared angrily. Under the bombardment of the light bullets, he had already been pushed hundreds of meters away. In his anger, he erupted with immense strength and charged at Roy with the fel energy shield.
“Die, Osiris!” Archimonde roared. He held a sphere of fel flames in each of his demon claws. As he charged, he suddenly closed his hands together and shot a powerful fel energy blast at Roy. This blast knocked away the dense rain of bullets and shot toward Roy at an extremely high speed.
Roy spread his wings behind him and jumped up to avoid the fel energy impact. The fel energy impact brushed through Roy’s afterimage and flew far into the city of Oronaar behind. During its flight, it even left a straight burning trail on the ground.
Boom! Archimonde’s attack finally hit the burning city of Oronaar. The next second, a dazzling dark green light erupted, and a gigantic mushroom cloud rose. Oronaar completely turned into ruins in the explosion, but the burning fires were finally extinguished.
Looking at Roy leaping high into the air, Archimonde snorted coldly. He left an afterimage on the spot and instantly appeared above Roy’s head in the sky. He clenched his claws, raised them above his head, and smashed them down at Roy.
However, this hammer hit nothing. He was fast, but Roy wasn’t slow either. The moment Archimonde slammed his fists down, Roy appeared above him. The Red Dragon Emperor’s Gauntlet on his right hand erupted with light as he punched the back of Archimonde’s head.
The power and speed of this punch were so astonishing that it even caused a sonic boom. Archimonde’s large body instantly turned into a meteor falling straight down. The moment he hit the ground, the immense energy of the collision erupted with a shock wave. The ground instantly cracked, and countless fragments and rocks exploded thousands of meters into the air.
The penetrative power of Roy’s punch was so strong that it drove Archimonde dozens of kilometers into the ground, leaving only a giant pit nearly a kilometer in diameter.
The battle between Roy and Archimonde happened too quickly. When Archimonde was hammered into the ground, Kil’jaeden didn’t even have time to save him. But he htknew that Archimonde’s defense was strong enough, so he wasn’t too worried. While Roy was dealing with Archimonde, Kil’jaeden completed his spell. His figure blurred and swayed, and several identical figures instantly appeared on the ground.
Sinister Reflection was Kil’jaeden’s ability. Including his main body, seven identical Kil’jaeden appeared on the spot at the same time. These seven Kil’jaeden raised their hands in unison and then lowered them.
The next second, astonishing flames immediately lit up in the clouds above Roy’s head. Seven enormous meteors burning with high-temperature flames broke through the clouds and covered the sky as they smashed down at Roy.
Floating in the air, Roy looked at the seven meteors smashing down one after another. He snorted coldly. He also knew how to bombard meteors. In his opinion, this spell was too weak. He folded his wings, wrapped himself into a spindle, and rushed toward the falling meteors.
One, two, three… Roy smashed the enormous meteors with a diameter of more than a kilometer into pieces one after another. Countless pieces of flaming rubble turned into a meteor shower and fell from the sky.
Kil’jaeden played with flames, so the impact of the meteors he summoned was secondary. He relied more on the high-temperature flames attached to the meteors. Unfortunately, Roy was a frost demon, and he was stronger than Kil’jaeden, so this fire damage was useless against him. When there was only one meteor left, Roy didn’t choose to smash it but directly activated his ice energy to instantly freeze the entire meteor into a huge black ice lump.
“I’ll return it to you!” Roy circled to the other side of the meteor and lashed out with his leg, kicking the ice meteor at Kil’jaeden.
It was impossible for Kil’jaeden to dodge because dodging meant that he was showing weakness. Therefore, together with his six mirror images, he raised his hand and shot out dragon breath flames. These seven blazing dragon breath flames superimposed on each other and melted the ice meteor before it hit.
But as soon as he melted the ice meteor, Roy appeared behind one of his mirror images. These mirror images were completely physical clones, and their actions and expressions were exactly the same. Even Roy couldn’t tell who was the main body for a moment, so he could only choose one to attack at random. He stretched out his hand to grab the demon wings of this mirror image and tore them off with a little force.
This mirror image screamed and instantly disappeared. Roy was a little annoyed that he had chosen wrongly. He immediately rushed toward the Kil’jaeden beside him.
But Kil’jaeden reacted quickly. As he retreated, dozens of shield orbs appeared around him. These orbs flickered with the light of shadow power and launched countless shadow arrows at Roy.
However, although there were many shadow arrows, the lethality of each shadow arrow was low. Roy didn’t even activate his shield and directly used his body to withstand the attacks of the shadow arrows. He rushed in front of Kil’jaeden and hugged his head. At the same time, he swung his tail and pierced the spike on the tip of his tail through Kil’jaeden’s neck. Then he twisted and pulled, directly pulling off Kil’jaeden’s head!
Unfortunately, this Kil’jaeden turned out to be a mirror image. After being severely injured, it disappeared, and so did the head that Roy pulled off.
The real Kil’jaeden, who was mixed in with the mirror images, couldn’t rejoice because Roy’s two attacks on the mirror images had already made him break out in cold sweat. It couldn’t be helped. Roy’s methods were really cruel.
After all, Kil’jaeden was an eredar demon transformed from a fel energy ritual. There was a difference between him and a true Abyss demon. This difference was actually more reflected in their combat styles. Kil’jaeden was originally an eredar mage, so his attack methods were inclined toward magic. Roy, on the other hand, had been fighting continuously in the Abyss since he was a little demon. Without using weapons, the fighting methods of demons were naturally their claws, tails, and teeth. Kil’jaeden had never seen such an attack style before, so he naturally felt that it was cruel.
Roy didn’t have a weapon to use now, and coincidentally, Kil’jaeden didn’t use a weapon either. Kil’jaeden actually had a staff, but it was impossible for his mirror images to replicate weapons as well. Therefore, once he took out the staff, it would be equivalent to exposing himself as the main body. He wouldn’t be able to achieve the effect of distracting and sneak attacking, so it would be useless.
When Roy pounced on a Kil’jaeden for the third time, he was right this time. His target was the real Kil’jaeden.
But because the first two clones had been killed, Kil’jaeden had a deep understanding of Roy’s speed and strength, so he didn’t dare to let him get close no matter what. His figure blurred and swayed again, and he actually used Sinister Reflection again. This time, he made more mirror images of himself.
This was a rather shameless move, but it was really practical. Roy was instantly surrounded by dozens of Kil’jaedens, all of whom bombarded spells at him in the center.
As the ground shook, Roy became annoyed. The demon wings behind him suddenly stretched out, and with him as the center, a black mass of light that was so dark that it seemed to devour all the light instantly erupted. Everything within the range of this ball of light fell silent.
The spread of light stopped, and the air stopped flowing. Everything stopped at this moment. Under the extinction effect of absolute zero, no matter was immune.
After the black mass of light shrank and dissipated, and the light began to return, the scene returned into sight. Dozens of Kil’jaeden were like puppets that had lost their colors. They were frozen in place and motionless. Their bodies were not covered in any frost, but there was no doubt that they were frozen.
A moment later, these Kil’jaedens quietly dissipated one after another, leaving only the last one standing.
Kil’jaeden had completely lost all consciousness. His demon body had lost all vitality, leaving only his soul imprisoned in his body.
Just as Roy slowly walked forward and was about to break Kil’jaeden’s body, the ground suddenly shook. Archimonde, who had been punched into the ground, rushed out. He jumped onto the ground from the pit and roared angrily, “I am… Archimonde!! I am… the king of the eredar!!”
Humiliation, absolute humiliation. Archimonde had never thought that he would be beaten so miserably one day. Although he had jumped up, countless bones had broken in his body, and not a single part of his skin was fine. Blood was sizzling all over. His eyes were closed, and blood was flowing out of them because his eyeballs had exploded under the immense pressure of the punch. Although these injuries were healing, they wouldn’t recover anytime soon.
He hadn’t adapted to being blind yet, and unlike Roy, he didn’t have other perception methods to observe the world, so this angry roar was only a roar on the spot.
“I’ll kill you! I will destroy this place and kill you!!” Archimonde shouted maniacally. At the same time, immense fel energy began to gather in his body.
Roy immediately understood what this guy wanted to do. It was nothing more than self-destructing to trigger a fel energy storm that would sweep through everything. So, how could he give him a chance? He flashed in front of Archimonde, pressed down his bald head, and kneed him in the face.
Crack! Archimonde screamed as all the teeth in his mouth shattered. But before his scream finished, his entire body flew up. Roy kicked his chin and sent him flying. Then he grabbed his tail, pulled him back from midair, and slammed him onto the ground.
This wasn’t the end. The slam was not satisfying. Roy grabbed Archimonde’s tail and smashed it back and forth, performing a standard demonstration of Heaven and Earth Return1.
After dozens of smashes, Archimonde was on the verge of death, and his tail had been torn off at some point from the violent beating. Looking at him lying on the ground panting, Roy stepped on his back, grabbed his chin with his claws, and pulled back, exerting force to pull out his skull and spine.
Archimonde immediately fell silent, and a large pitch-black soul slowly emerged from his ruined body.
Roy grabbed Archimonde’s soul and weighed it in his hand. Then he walked forward, smashed Kil’jaeden’s fragile body with one punch, and held his soul in his other hand.
Seeing that the battle was over, Julia and Benia flew over. The battle between Roy and Archimonde and Kil’jaeden had been too shocking, so they didn’t dare to approach. While waiting, the two of them had ended their fusion state. Now that they returned and saw the corpses of Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, Julia said in surprise, “Darling, you killed them?”
“Yeah!” Roy nodded and sneered. “If anyone dares to touch my people, they’ll have to pay with their lives!”
After hearing Roy’s words, Benia was moved, but she was also worried. “But you killed them. How will you answer to Sargeras when he returns?”
“It doesn’t matter. After the corruption of Argus’s world-soul, I can just use their souls to test whether Sargeras’s soul binding plan works!” Roy said disapprovingly. “As long as they can resurrect, Sargeras won’t say anything.”
Julia felt much more at ease and giggled. “After this, Archimonde and Kil’jaeden won’t ever dare to be arrogant in front of you again, right?”
“Of course!” Benia leaned on Roy and smiled. “Darling, you can crush them now, so it won’t be a problem to deal with them in the future. If they dare to bare their teeth at you again, then they’re idiots…”
