Chapter 273 Boss
Roy’s guess was right. Astral and the others quickly discovered Rafaro’s intentions.
At this moment, Rafaro was a dragon-shaped ferocious beast! He resisted the violent bombardment of magic and ferociously rampaged in the alliance army. He continuously used death power to repair his bones while desperately killing the living and plundering the life force contained in them to create flesh for himself. In just a few minutes, some blood vessels gradually appeared on his bones.
Under the illumination of magic missiles, no matter how bad their eyes were, Astral and the others could see the abnormal changes taking place on Rafaro’s body clearly. They immediately understood what he wanted to do, so they got the mages, nagas, and the elven rangers to retreat while getting the titans and green dragons to go up!
This was mainly because the iron golems at the front could not withdraw. Otherwise, using lifeless puppets was the most effective way to deal with Rafaro. But when Rafaro rushed into the middle of the alliance army, it was equivalent to cutting off the iron golems. The golems were currently entangled with Cassandra’s undead army, so how could it be so easy to retreat in the chaos?
High-level mythical creatures had always been the reserve forces of the alliance army. They were originally reserved to deal with Roy and the others, but at this moment, they had no choice but to move out first under the threat of Rafaro. Under Astral’s command, a group of titans ran forward with large strides toward Rafaro. When they arrived in front of Rafaro, the first storm titan condensed a powerful whirlwind on his fist and then slammed a punch on Rafaro’s skull!
Even with the power enhancement of the storm, the damage caused by this punch was still weaker than Roy’s. Rafaro’s skull only tilted a bit, and then he immediately bit at the titan angrily. While Rafaro and the titan were fighting, the other titans surrounded Rafaro from both sides, condensed energy swords with lightning flashing in their hands, and slashed at Rafaro’s bones together!
This was the Titan’s Gladius! Rafaro’s body was truly colossal, which gave the titans the chance to besiege him. The lightning energy brought about by the numerous Titan’s Gladiuses was quite massive. Rafaro’s entire body glowed with intense light. After the flash disappeared, the mist of death power on his body had dispersed a lot.
Although he was undead and did not know pain, he could still feel the energy protecting his body had dissipated. Most importantly, he had recovered some of his flesh, and the damage the lightning energy caused to his flesh was much stronger than to a pure skeleton!
Rafaro roared angrily. He violently slashed his dragon claw in front of him and scratched four bloody claw marks on the chest of the storm titan who was entangling with him while sweeping another one away with his other claw. Then he twisted his body, and his tail smashed into the two titans on the left one after another. The tremendous force caused the bones in the chests of these two titans to make muffled sounds and flung their bodies flying away.
Then Rafaro’s skull turned sharply and bit into the waist of a titan on the right. Under the immense bite force, a huge gap appeared on the titan’s waist, and he fell to the ground with a scream.
Rafaro was indeed rather fierce. In an instant, he counterattacked and severely injured the surrounding titans. But at this moment, more titans surrounded him, and the green dragons flying over also spat out a lot of acid at Rafaro from high above.
This acid was actually the dragon breath of the green dragons. The dragon breath of green dragons was a liquid with corrosive and poisonous effects. Perhaps this dragon breath had a very slow effect on pure bones, but the flesh that had just grown on Rafaro was not the same. When the acid landed on Rafaro’s body, it immediately corroded his entire body, causing it to make sizzling sounds all over and emit pungent white smoke.
Rafaro was furious. The flesh on his body was corroded by the acid dragon breath, which meant that all the work he had done to absorb the life force was useless. He opened his mouth and spat out an extremely dense death blast at the green dragons in the air, enveloping several green dragons! The green dragons in the air hurriedly flapped their wings to dodge. But their gigantic bodies determined that they did not have such good mobility, and they were immediately hit by the death blast! Three green dragons were hit, and the affected parts of their bodies directly turned into black mist and dissipated. But this was not the end. Formidable death power spread along their wounds and soon spread all over their bodies. The flesh on these green dragons began to rot rapidly and fall from the sky. When all that remained of the green dragons was a pile of bones, they actually transformed into ordinary bone dragons and turned their heads to bite their original companions in the air.
Rafaro was originally a dark dragon that controlled the powers of darkness and death. After his soul gained freedom, as long as his death power corroded enemies, it could easily transform them into undead creatures.
Seeing that Rafaro suddenly had three more helpers, Solmyr took action. He stretched out his arm and pointed at the three bone dragons. A powerful bolt of blue lightning immediately flew out from his fingertip. When it hit the first bone dragon, the blue lightning did not completely disappear. It suddenly darted toward the second bone dragon. After hitting the second, it went to the third.
Solmyr’s strongest spell was this Chain Lightning. The powerful Chain Lightning easily smote the three bone dragons to the ground. Finally, it struck Rafaro!
After being struck by the lightning, the mist of death power on Rafaro shrank again, but he could no longer worry about roaring because eight titans were now surrounding him!
The titans of this world were perhaps not pure-blooded. Although they were tall, they had an upper limit and could not grow to a height of hundreds of meters. They were not even as tall as Rafaro. However, they had also inherited the elemental power and powerful physical strength of the titans. It could be said that they could fight both melee and long-range battles. Eight titans attacked together and beat Rafaro into the ground!
Rafaro was beaten into a very sorry state. Although he coveted the powerful life force of these titans—the life force of one titan could exceed that of over a hundred mages and nagas—the embarrassing thing was that Rafaro was unable to kill any of them when facing this siege.
Even the titan that Rafaro bit half the waist off of did not die because the titan had received holy light treatment from the angels behind and had completely recovered.
Boom! Fists flashing with lightning beat Rafaro silly. His entire body was now dozens of centimeters into the ground. Realizing that he would probably be beaten to death by a group of burly men if this continued, he finally began to cry for help. He raised his head desperately and roared, “Osiris! What are you doing?! Why aren’t you attacking?! If I lose, you’ll be next!” It seemed like Rafaro himself had the awareness of being a meat shield, or else he would not have shouted such words. During this period of time, he had been beaten up alone, but Roy, this high-rank demon, had not taken care of him at all, making him very angry. “Aha, I’m sorry, Your Excellency Rafaro, powerful faceless. I thought you could handle them all by yourself without my help!” Roy’s gloating voice came from behind, making Astral’s and the others’ hearts skip a beat.
Is this demon finally going to attack?
To be honest, Astral and the others were not afraid of Rafaro, but they were very afraid of Roy. Demons had undoubtedly always been enemies of the entire continent. Not only did Roy create a plague that caused heavy casualties in Dendera Fortress, but he also showed great imposing power when he buried Arantir’s undead army. The reason why the alliance army gathered here originally was to deal with this demon. It could be said that if this war was regarded as a game, then Roy was undoubtedly the final boss, and Rafaro could at most be counted as the second boss.
This led to Astral and the others not daring to make full use of their strength in the battle. They had to leave sufficient magic power to deal with Roy’s attack… If not for this, how could Rafaro have lasted so long?
Alaric’s priest troops shot a few light spells into the sky, allowing everyone to see Roy above the battlefield. At this moment, Roy was hovering in the air with his wings spread. In his hand, Frostmourne was exuding a strange mist of power. They did not know if it was an illusion, but the eye sockets of the skull on the sword hilt were flashing red, as though they had come alive…
“Stop him! Don’t let him attack!” Gelu was the first to react. For some reason, Roy’s sword gave Gelu a strong sense of threat, just like a top artifact he had experienced before…
While shouting, the longbow in Gelu’s hand quickly shot a powerful magic arrow with green energy on the arrowhead at Roy.
Before the arrow hit Roy, the angels in Alaric’s army were already holding their angelic swords. They spread their wings and flew toward Roy…
Looking at the arrow shot by Gelu, Roy raised his finger and hooked. A thick black ice shield immediately appeared on the arrow’s path. Gelu’s arrow hit Roy’s ice shield, and with a crack, it directly broke the ice shield!
Roy was slightly surprised. He did not expect the arrow to be so powerful. But after passing through the ice shield, the arrow’s flying speed had slowed down, and the green energy on the arrowhead was almost gone. Roy guessed that it was not much of a threat, so he grabbed the arrow.
But the next second, the green energy suddenly erupted, transforming into countless vines that swiftly wrapped around
In the blink of an eye, Roy’s entire body was bound by countless vines.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, several angels swooped down while pointing their swords at Roy, wanting to kill him in the air!
“Hmph!” Seeing the angels approaching, Roy suddenly snorted coldly. He shook his hands and broke the vines. Then he held his sword in both hands and slashed at the first angel to arrive!
Clang! A crisp sound rang out. Under the collision of the two swords, Frostmourne directly cut through the angel’s sword. Before the angel could react, Frostmourne’s sword tip swept past the angel’s cheek without slowing down.
A long and narrow wound appeared on the angel’s face…
It was merely a small wound that this angel did not care about, but what he did not see was that when golden blood flowed out of the wound, it instantly turned grayish!
The next second, the angel was stunned. His entire body was trembling as he stayed rooted in midair.
It was not that he did not want to move but that he did not dare to move! A powerful force, or rather, a will, was invading his brain. A strange scene began to appear in his vision, and it seemed as though a demon was whispering in his ears. He desperately wanted to get rid of these whispers in his mind that he did not understand, but he could not do it at all.
Not only that, but under his robe, his body was changing. The power of holy light was constantly dissipating, and replacing it was a kind of dark and gloomy power…
Roy was currently fighting with other angels, but most of his attention was on this angel he injured first…
His abnormal condition was discovered by his angel companions rushing over from behind. An angel flew over and asked anxiously, “Are you all right?”
However, at this moment, the angel injured by Roy suddenly turned around and stabbed his broken sword into the stomach of this companion who was concerned about him!
