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.

“But what I want to say is, whether it is elves, humans, or orcs, we have been fighting to the death with demons for thousands of years!” Gem continued. “We have driven them back to their lair time and time again. We have destroyed their plots. We have gotten the entire world to remain standing on this planet. We are still reproducing and spreading our cultures and beliefs. We are still continuing our bloodlines. Demons! They are not as terrifying as you think because they have never succeeded! And the people of Asha have never succumbed!”

Blood began to boil in the bodies of the alliance soldiers. Under Gem’s encouragement, the morale of the alliance army began to rise at a visible speed.

“Take your weapons, my people!” Gem raised her staff and shouted loudly, “Today, we are fighting for Asha!!! Long live Ashan!!!” With Gem’s words, the morale of the soldiers finally reached its peak. They tightened their grips on their weapons, raised them high into the sky, and shouted ferociously! “Fight for Asha!!!”

“Long live Ashan!!!”

Hundreds of thousands of alliance troops roared and charged fearlessly at the demons like a tsunami!

However, watching this scene, Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth’s expression hidden under his mask did not fluctuate at all.

“Your courage is commendable, but… ants are still ants!” Kha-Beleth snorted coldly. He held the hilt of his demon sword with both hands, and powerful magic power instantly poured into the ground through the demon sword.

Flames, countless flames centered around the demon sword, appeared on the ground. These flames were like electric currents snaking and spreading out rapidly. All the plants and rocks on the ground turned black as the flames flowed past. If you looked down from the sky, you would be able to see that this black color was like a circle continuously expanding. In an instant, it covered nearly a hundred kilometers of the ground.

Be it the demon army and the city of Ur-Hekal behind or the alliance army’s battle formation, this scorched ground enveloped all of them. At this moment, the expansion abruptly stopped and then suddenly rose.

A thin membrane made of flames instantly rose and enclosed everyone in a massive barrier!

“Annihilation Cage!”

After completing the magic, Kha-Beleth pulled out his demon sword from the ground, held it in one hand, and pointed it at the alliance army!

Following his command, the dense demon army behind him roared maniacally and charged at the charging alliance army!

As a demon lord, Kha-Beleth’s flame power was naturally not ordinary flames but destruction flames! Unlike hellfire, which could burn like maggots in your bones, destruction flames were another type of flame power. In theory, destruction flames were ultra-high-temperature flames that could ignite everything fiercely and destructively!

Now, the barrier cage constructed by destruction flames enveloped the entire battlefield. Without Kha-Beleth’s permission, no one could escape from this barrier.

Watching the fierce battle coldly, Kha-Beleth stood motionless and said to Xeron, “No one can interfere now. Immediately get back Isabel. If you fail again, I will personally tear your head off! Do you understand?”

“Yes, Sovereign Kha-Beleth!” Xeron bowed respectfully, spread his wings, and flew into the sky. The barrier of the Annihilation Cage opened a gap at the right time to let him fly out.

Gem and the others saw this, but they were powerless to stop it. They could only pray that Raelag could find a place to hide and avoid Xeron’s search before taking Isabel back…

In the underground world, Roy slowly stood up. With a whoosh, he spread his demon wings and stretched vigorously before waving at everyone. “Okay, let’s go! It’s our turn to come on stage now!”

Julia and Benia smiled, spread their wings, and followed behind Roy.

Tens of thousands of troops poured out…
