Chapter 649: Taunt from Holy Light
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Meanwhile, Roy was leading a group of Burning Legion demons to patrol an asteroid belt with nothing to do. But he suddenly received news that the eredar defectors had escaped from Argus, and the escaping ships were flying toward his position.
After receiving this news, Roy couldn’t help sighing. He found that the inertial force of this so-called timeline was really powerful. This trip to Argus seemed to confirm the history he learned in Shattrath City.
The more Roy came into contact with time, the more he became in awe of this power. Just as Lilith had said, even a time controller like her always had to be very cautious in the River of Time, afraid of the backlash of time.
It was the same for Nozdormu and Murozond. Although they were guardians of time and performed all kinds of tricks on the timeline, who could guarantee that their tricks of interfering with the course of history were events that should have happened in history? Those who played with time were toyed with by time without realizing it…
Shaking his head, Roy threw away all these distracting thoughts in his mind. Since Velen had run into him with his fleeing people, Roy couldn’t ignore him. He ordered the demons to control the starships to turn around and intercept the escapees.
However, when the starships of the Burning Legion could see the eredar’s exile fleet through optical vision, an unexpected situation happened.
Among the four starships of the eredar exile fleet, a starship suddenly exploded. Although the sound couldn’t be transmitted in space, the flames of the starship’s explosion were clearly visible to the Burning Legion demons in the dark space.
Realizing that there might be changes among the eredar exiles, and even internal strife might not be ruled out, Roy immediately ordered the Burning Legion fleet to surround them.
The exile fleet led by Velen was clearly flustered. They had yet to figure out what was going on with the starship that exploded, but before they could conduct the investigation, the intercepting fleet of the Burning Legion appeared from the darkness. For a moment, even Velen was hesitating about what to do.
Although he had predicted that the exile fleet would be able to escape, he didn’t know the specific process. However, after discovering that there were not many Burning Legion troops intercepting them, Velen hesitated for a moment before ordering to prepare for battle.
Yes, Velen was ready to force his way through.
But at this moment, K’ure’s voice sounded in Velen’s mind. “No, don’t fight the Burning Legion. Break out of the encirclement as quickly as possible!”
“But…” Velen was confused when he heard this suggestion. “What about my people?”
“Their starships still have power!” K’ure said decisively. “Contact them and get them to escape together. As for the Burning Legion… L’ura will buy us time…”
As K’ure finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in the dark space!
A naaru, who was the L’ura that K’ure mentioned, rushed out of the exploding starship. Her strange geometric body stayed in space and erupted with powerful and blazing Holy Light energy. This golden and warm Holy Light energy pierced through the darkness of space, so it naturally attracted the attention of the Burning Legion demons.
Needless to say, demons hated the power of Holy Light. After discovering this huge source of Holy Light, the demons in the Burning Legion starship all roared angrily, and at the same time, there was a collective restlessness. If not for the fact that the control of the starships was not in their hands, these demons might have already rushed toward L’ura without care.
Similarly, on Roy’s command ship, Tichondrius roared angrily, “Lord Osiris, this is a provocation to the Legion! A huge provocation!”
Roy’s face darkened, but he didn’t say anything. His perception ability was much greater than that of other demons. When he discovered that this naaru was emitting strong Holy Light, he also noticed another petite figure rushing out from the exploding starship. Although the strong light emitted by naaru later covered this figure, he immediately realized that it was Junia!
What’s going on? Were Julia and Benia on that escape ship? Why did they fight with the naaru?
But in any case, Roy was still very happy. He was still thinking about when he would find Julia and Benia, but he didn’t expect to meet them here. Seeing that the naaru was actually bullying his women with Holy Light, how could Roy accept it? He immediately ordered, “Attack! We can ignore the other starships, but that damn provocateur must be caught!”
Thus, all the starships of the Burning Legion immediately rushed toward the naaru named L’ura.
Seeing the starships of the Burning Legion rushing over aggressively, Velen no longer had any intention of fighting. The current situation was very clear. L’ura was sacrificing herself in exchange for the opportunity for the eredar to escape. If Velen hesitated any longer, it was possible that everyone wouldn’t be able to escape. So he immediately ordered all the starships to avoid the path of the Burning Legion’s approach and accelerate their escape.
L’ura did her best to release her Holy Light energy to make herself the focus of space, getting the Burning Legion to ignore the fleeing starships. At the same time, the Holy Light energy she emitted formed waves of intense Holy Light impacts to prevent Junia from approaching.
Junia, on the other hand, seemed to be moving forward with difficulty in the tempestuous waves, resisting the Holy Light and wanting to rush forward to fight L’ura. Julia and Benia had wanted to hijack this starship, but they didn’t expect that L’ura, who was guarding this starship, would discover their actions, so a battle immediately broke out. The explosion of the starship just now was caused by the battle between the two sides. This naaru named L’ura was quite powerful. Julia and Benia couldn’t defeat her together, so they could only fuse and summon the angelic demon Junia.
Due to being a fusion personality, Junia didn’t have many opportunities to appear in the real world. In addition, there was a limit to how long the fusion personality could appear, so every time she appeared, she would show very extreme emotions. To put it bluntly, she was a battle maniac. After contacting her compatriots, L’ura decided to sacrifice herself to attract the attention of the Burning Legion, so she jumped out of the starship. Junia ignored everything and rushed out, planning to beat L’ura up.
“This little lunatic…” After seeing this scene, Roy roughly understood what was going on. He couldn’t help cursing before flying out of the starship. The next second, he transformed into his Chaos Body.
Due to his fourfold strength increase, Roy’s mist-like Chaos Body had naturally become much larger, and a thick fog-like ink surrounded his body. At first glance, he was nearly a hundred meters tall, so as soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of Velen and the naaru on the other starships.
After seeing Roy’s appearance, Velen gasped. He had seen Roy appear in the prophecy. Although he had only seen him briefly, it left an extremely deep impression!
At the time, Velen didn’t know who this figure that flashed in the prophecy was, so he thought of a way to secretly investigate the situation of the Burning Legion. Finally, he learned that this figure was very likely the original commander of the Burning Legion, the King of Despair, Osiris!
It was said that the King of Despair had mysteriously disappeared from the Burning Legion for thousands of years. But why did he suddenly appear again? Velen was naturally at a loss, and to be honest, he was a little uneasy about the escape prophecy. Since the King of Despair had appeared, how could he escape with his people?
Coincidentally, the starship that Velen and K’ure were on happened to pass near Roy, so Roy subconsciously turned to look at it.
When the pair of demon eyes in the black fog looked over with a cold and indifferent light, Velen felt his hair stand on end (if he had any). In these cold eyes, he saw countless illusions, as though countless wails of pain and despair were haunting him. Just looking at Roy from afar made him break out in cold sweat, and he held his staff while panting.
K’ure reacted the same way. When Roy looked over, all of K’ure’s Holy Light power was compressed into his geometric body. This was a method to store energy and be on guard. The Holy Light was sending him a strong warning.
In fact, just like Velen, K’ure had also predicted some scenes. The naaru all had some prophetic abilities, which was why K’ure had asked Velen to escape quickly. He knew that if they didn’t do so, all the eredar exiles would die here.
Clearly, when he saw Roy, K’ure realized that Roy was the real reason why they would die here…
“Don’t provoke him…” K’ure whispered to Velen and slowed down the starships a bit.
The starships sailed quietly without doing anything irrational. Fortunately, Roy’s attention was not on these eredar exiles. He snorted coldly, waved his hand, and transmitted his soul voice to the starships. “Get lost!”
With that, Roy turned into a black ray of light and headed straight for L’ura.
After hearing Roy’s soul voice transmission, Velen and all the eredar on the starships heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, they couldn’t care less about L’ura, who had stayed behind to bring up the rear for them. All the engines of the starships turned on full power and flew out of this part of the galaxy…
At the same time, the starships of the Burning Legion surrounded L’ura, who was like a big light bulb. The taunt from Holy Light was top-notch. The demons desperately used the fel cannons on the starships to fire at her. When Roy arrived, some irritable demons had already flown out of the starships, wanting to rush forward to fight L’ura.
However, the intense Holy Light emitted by L’ura stopped them. This warm Holy Light was the most fatal poison for demons. After the demons spread their wings and rushed forward, before long, most of them were screaming from Holy Light burns.
However, the demons from the Twisting Nether were not afraid of death. In any case, they would resurrect in the Twisting Nether after they died. So even though they were being burned and experiencing excruciating pain, they didn’t stop charging until they were burned into ashes by the Holy Light. They didn’t even turn around to escape…
The madness of the Burning Legion was evident…
