Chapter 79 Resurrecting From The Dead, Beheading The Projection Of The Balrog Lord
It is quite obvious.
During the process of making a deal with the demon,
That tenth prince, Logus, was unknowingly transformed into a projection-like entity by the demon lord.
That's right.
Only through Logus's body can the will of the demon lord descend into this world.
"It's Baloyan Demon!!"
"This is trouble."
Looking at the giant demon surrounded by hellfire in front of him, Rennes took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious.
You see,
Baloyan Demon is an extremely powerful upper-level demon race.
Not only do they possess powerful spellcasting abilities,
They are also fierce in close combat.
Almost every one of them has legendary-level strength.
Among them, the outstanding ones
Can even become demon lords and condense virtual divinity.
In the Abyssal plane, they possess supreme power comparable to gods.
And the one in front of Rennes is obviously one of the outstanding members of the Baloyan Demon race.
Just a mere projection-like entity, yet possessing legendary-level strength.
Facing such a terrifying existence,
Even though Rennes has many tricks up his sleeve, he still feels uncertain.
Before Rennes could decide whether to run away,
The demon lord's projection locked onto Rennes with its huge eyes shining with red light.
"You damn ant!"
"How dare you destroy my projection!"
"Great Ragnaros, your soul shall be burned in the fires of hell for ten thousand years."
As the words fell,
Ragnaros launched an attack towards Rennes.
Law: Intimidation!
Accompanied by the unsettling incantation of demons,
An immensely powerful mental energy instantly appeared in Rennes' mind.
Under the influence of this mental energy,
Rennes' mind suffered a tremendous shock, and his body immediately froze in place.
Then,
The Lord of Flame, Balor, activated advanced teleportation and teleported himself in front of Rennes.
"Die, 137! Lowly mortal."
Seeing Rennes frozen in place before him, Ragnaros' eyes, as big as bronze bells, revealed endless cruelty.
In the next second,
He was about to use Soul Extraction to extract Rennes' soul.
Fortunately,
Rennes possessed the innate ability of mental magic resistance, which enhanced his mental resilience.
At this critical moment,
Rennes successfully broke free from the control of Law: Intimidation, this mental magic.
"Damn!"
Seeing the projection of the demon lord appearing in front of him, Rennes, who had just regained his senses, was also startled.
Instinctively, he activated the qi within his body.
With a raised hand, he unleashed a Holy Light Slash.
Empowered by the sacred attribute of the Holy Dragon Qi.
Originally just a four-star combat technique, the Holy Light Slash's power has almost reached the level of a six-star combat technique.
The next second.
This dazzling and scorching Holy Light Sword Qi crashed down onto the projection of the Demon Lord.
"Roar!"
Unexpectedly, Rennes, a mere mortal who hasn't even stepped into the legendary realm, quickly broke free from his own proud spell.
Even more unexpectedly, Rennes, this mortal, has cultivated the holy attribute of Qi techniques and combat skills.
Caught off guard.
Ragnaros suffered a great loss immediately.
Covering the area hit by the Holy Light Sword Qi, he let out a deafening roar.
No way.
As a naturally negative energy creature, the purifying power of the Holy Light, which purifies everything, is too strong against demons.
Perhaps his demon body, comparable to a god, can resist this quality of Holy Light attack.
But the body he is currently controlling is just a 'weak' projection.
For it, the power of the Holy Light is simply an ignore-defense true damage.
However.
Although Rennes's attack caused considerable damage.
It is clearly impossible to directly kill this legendary-level projection of the Demon Lord.
"Die, lowly mortal!"
Using chaotic magic to eliminate those damn Holy Light energies.
Ragnaros's eyes flickered with anger as he lifted the flaming greatsword in his hand and slashed it down towards Rennes's head.
The giant sword used by the giant demon, one can imagine how big it is.
It looks like a palace gate.
With the addition of Balor Flame Demon's immense strength, even a mountain would be split open.
Due to attending the royal banquet, weapons cannot be brought along.
Rennes' weapon, the Storm Greatsword, is still left in the temporary residence.
Without a handy weapon, Rennes naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to directly withstand such a terrifying strike with his body.
He immediately used the Void Rush skill to enter a pseudo-invulnerable state.
The next second.
The Flame Giant Sword directly pierced through Rennes' ethereal figure and struck the ground again.
Boom!~
Accompanied by a loud roar, a deep bottomless crack appeared on the ground.
Several unfortunate nobles were affected by the aftermath of the attack.
Screaming, they fell into the crack and turned into minced meat.
"Run!"
Seeing this scene, King Lance and the others immediately ran outside the banquet hall.
Afraid of suffering the same fate as those unlucky bastards.
At this moment, all the hatred from the projection of the Demon Lord was focused on Rennes.
Completely ignoring the escape of these ants.
He turned his head and continued to chase after Rennes.
Meanwhile, Rennes used hit-and-run tactics.
While using Void Rush and Swift Steps and other displacement skills to dodge the attacks from the projection of the Demon Lord, he created distance.
At the same time, he utilized the law of causality - the world's blessing ability that ensures attacks always hit - to continuously gather Holy Light Strikes for long-range attacks, wearing down his opponent.
His own attacks couldn't hit.
Yet that mortal's attacks always inexplicably hit him.
Lagnos encountered such a frustrating battle for the first time.
He was truly on the verge of exploding with anger.
"You slippery bug, obediently die for me!"
Under the raging fire's blessing,
The attacks projected by this demonic lord became even more ferocious.
Summon demons!
Flame storm!
Explosion spell!
One after another, powerful seventh-ring magic spells were cast towards Rennes as if they were free.
Among them were many area-of-effect spells with a wide coverage.
In this situation,
Even with Rennes' numerous displacement skills, he couldn't avoid them.
"Since I can't dodge, then I won't dodge!"
Feeling the breath of death,
Rennes decisively activated his talent for invulnerability in a frenzy.
The next second,
He felt a continuous influx of power into his body.
All his attributes began to rapidly increase.
But it didn't end there.
Golden dragon scales, anti-magic shield...
Various defensive talents or skills, Rennes applied them all to himself without hesitation.
In an instant, Rennes was covered in energy shields of various colors.
Under such tight multiple protections,
The damage from the demonic lord's projected magic was instantly reduced to the minimum.
He directly took on two unavoidable area-of-effect spells.
Rennes casually wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, then without hesitation, chose to take the initiative.
Launch a counterattack against the Demon Lord projection.
The talent of berserk that doubles the body attributes only lasts for ten minutes.
If the berserk state cannot be ended before, kill this Demon Lord projection.
At that time, it will become even more difficult to win this battle.
"Silent Strike!"
"Holy Light Cross Slash!"
"Holy Light Storm Slash!"
******
Under the blessing of the berserk state,
Rennes' attack power has increased several times compared to before.
Coupled with the Law of Causality - the world's protection that ensures every attack hits.
For a moment, the Demon Lord projection was actually suppressed by Rennes' fierce onslaught.
However,
As a Demon Lord who has experienced countless bloody battles, Ragnaros is not to be trifled with.
Soon, he adapted to Rennes' attack rhythm.
Both sides fought fiercely.
The raging flames and the unparalleled sword aura collided continuously.
Strong shockwaves swept in all directions.
In the intense battle between one person and one demon,
The Lance Palace, which served as the battlefield, was as if it had been hit by a missile barrage.
Dozens of palaces made of hard stone were blasted into rubble, turning into ruins.
This duel lasted for ten minutes.
Rennes was covered in wounds, with blood flowing incessantly.
If it weren't for the extraordinary healing talent and the double blessing of the Golden Dragon Bloodline.
Such a serious injury would not kill him, but it would definitely render Rennes unable to fight.
Rennes is in such a miserable state.
Lagnos is not doing well either.
Under the relentless attacks from Rennes, his projection is marked with traces of burning holy light everywhere.
His size has also shrunk by at least three circles compared to before.
To fight a legendary demon lord who is one realm higher with only the power of the 14th stage, and to reach this extent...
Rennes can be proud of himself.
However...
It is clearly not enough to defeat this projection of the demon lord.
If they continue to fight like this...
Rennes will definitely not hold on.
Whether it is the continuous deterioration of his physical condition or the end of his berserk state, it is enough to be the last straw that overwhelms him.
"It seems that I can only exchange my life for his."
Feeling the rapidly fading power within him, a hint of ruthlessness flashes in Rennes' eyes.
The next second...
He charges towards the projection of the demon lord as if he has lost his mind.
This mortal's burst skill has ended.
Wanting to fight to the death before dying, using himself as a shield.
Making this judgment, a hint of mockery flashes in Lagnos' eyes.
Like a cat playing with a mouse.
He shows no intention of stopping Rennes from approaching.
When Rennes rushes in front of him...
A cruel look flashes in Lagnos' eyes as he raises the flaming giant sword in his hand and slashes forward fiercely.
Rennes' body was instantly split in half and then burned to ashes by the flames of hell.
"Fragile mortal! To be able to fight against my projection incarnation until now, you can be proud of yourself."
After completing the kill, Ragnaros left these words behind and turned to walk outside the palace.
He wanted to make use of the remaining time of this projection incarnation to harvest more human souls and bring them back to the abyss.
Otherwise, this wave would be too much of a loss.
To waste such a rare human projection incarnation for nothing.
Just as Ragnaros turned around the next second.
"Holy Light Breaks Evil Slash."
Swoosh!
An energy sword emitting dazzling golden light instantly pierced through the body of the demon lord's projection from behind.
"How... how is this possible?"
He turned his head.
Ragnaros seemed to see something unbelievable.
His eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion.
Because he found that Rennes, who had just been burned to ashes by his own hands, appeared intact again.
Not only did all the injuries on his body disappear, but his strength had also increased by more than double.
"There is nothing impossible!"
Saying that, Rennes increased the strength of the Holy Light Sword in his hand once again.
The next second.
As if it had exceeded its limit to bear.
This huge demon lord projection automatically collapsed and turned into nothingness.
Only a huge, crystal-clear ruby was left in its place.
As a trace of its existence.
