Chapter 1452 Demon Sovereign (2)
??Tang Shaoyang was annoyed at first that he had to leave his daughter. Then he had to see the children were cruelly slaughtered. That was what made him angry. That was what made him decide to do this even though he was not related to the Artorakh Kingdom in any way.
Zara, Afi, Doombringer, and the other spirits were summoned. He sensed a strong aura approaching from the castle. He figured out that these auras belonged to the Archdemons and Demon Kings.
"Kill all the high-ranking demons!" Killing all high-ranking demons, then he would bring his army to this Demon Continent. As long as he killed The Demon Sovereign and the five Archdemons, then the Demon Continent should be a safe training ground for Tarrior.
The limbless Korlon's eyes locked on where the Demon Sovereign crashed. He was in a state of shock, not expecting the Demon Sovereign to be taken down that easily.
"Don't worry! Your Demon Sovereign is still alive, and you will witness everything to the end."
Just as Tang Shaoyang said a figure shot out from the rubble. The figure flew toward Tang Shaoyang, and it was the Demon Sovereign. His aura had become stronger several times, and he was holding a sword in his right hand right now.
The Demon Sovereign was coming for one of the heads. But Tang Shaoyang reacted well. The Demon Sovereign was not that fast to trick him.
One of his heads sent a blast of Chaos Energy. That forced the Demon Sovereign into a defensive maneuver. He crossed the sword and blocked the blast of Chaos Energy which once more, sent the Demon Sovereign down to the ground.
"You are the one who killed the seven gods!?" The Demon Sovereign's voice came from the rising dust.
As the dust slowly settled down, it revealed the Demon Sovereign's sorry state. His skin emitted smoke, his skin burnt from blocking The Chaos Energy Blast.
The Demon Sovereign immediately came up with the conclusion. The seven gods' fall surprised him at first. It was too fake to be real. Seven gods died in the span of one day. That was just hard to believe.
He thought it was the seven gods' ploy to lure him and his army into the Aidan Continent. That was why he ordered Archdemon Korlon to retreat if he met a stronger enemy. But after receiving two hits from the five-headed dragon. He immediately concluded that it was not impossible for this dragon to kill seven gods in one day.
"Not really. I only killed one! She killed four, and they killed one each." Tang Shaoyang pointed at Avyn who just transformed into her dragon form. Then he pointed at Afi, Vandir, and Doombringer.
From the System's perspective, it was he who killed the seven gods. But he did not really kill them because it was his spirits who killed them. He just fought and killed one, The Clown God.
The Demon Sovereign let out a defeated sigh. He believed in the dragon's words. The terrifying aura from the five-headed dragon was enough. The dragon above him was far stronger than him.
Not just that, he believed the frost dragon killed the four gods. That was because the frost dragon was toying with two Archdemons. Facing two Archdemons, and yet, the Archdemons' attack could not even scratch the dragon.
Knowing his enemy was stronger than him did not discourage the Demon Sovereign from fighting. The thought of surrender never crossed his mind. He would fight to his death.
The Demon Sovereign sucked out the blood from the nearby dead demons. The blood gathered above his head. He went all out from the start of the fight.
"Hold him for me, Wrath!"
Wrath who had stayed on Tang Shaoyang's back all this time, flew up, picking the limbless demon with his small paw.
Tang Shaoyang did not plan to torture Korlon for what the demon did to The Artorakh Kingdom. But he wanted to inflict the same despair on Korlon for what he did.
Korlon witnessed the fight from the start to the end which could not be called a fight at all. It was just a one-sided battle where the figure he admired all his life, was powerless just like the children he slaughtered.
The fight did not last that long. It was two minutes of fighting at most before the dragon brought the dead body of the Demon Sovereign to his face with the tail.
The undefeated Demon Sovereign died, with his chest pierced by the tail. The majestic figure he always admired since he was a little, dead. And he put the blame on himself. He blamed himself for leading the dragon to The Citadel.
If he had not led the dragon to The Citadel, or if he warned The Demon Sovereign to run, then this would not have happened.
"That's right. If you did not attack the human kingdom, then all of this will not happen! Look at your surroundings! They die because of you. If you holed up in your home, then all of this will not happen!"
Hearing the words, Archdemon Korlon looked around. The Citadel was no longer the same Citadel he knew about. The buildings were in ruins, and some parts of the city were frozen. The demons who he thought were a superior race were running in all directions, getting hunted down.
The situation reversed where the demon had become the prey. He even witnessed the demon children being hunted by the skeleton. The Skeletons killed whoever was in their sight, whether they were elderly demons or children. The screams just made the guilt inside his heart grow. He then slowly looked at the five-headed dragon.
Archdemon Korlon never felt like this before. He was never in this position before today. Now he realized how it felt. The anguish, the despair, and the guilt of knowing he was the cause of the cruelty in front of him.
Tang Shaoyang was surprised as he perceived the demon's feelings. He did not expect Korlon to have such complicated emotions. He thought the demon would not feel anything after the cruelties the demon committed.
"And I will hunt and kill all demons in the Demon Continent after this. But you don't need to worry. You don't have to witness that to happen."
Korlon looked up in shock and was about to beg, but his vision blurred. He realized that it was hard even to speak. He slowly looked down and saw a sword piercing his heart.
"You don't have the right to beg after what you did! Just like how you don't spare a single life. I will not let a single demon live. Die with your regret!"
Those were the last words Korlon heard before he died.
