Chapter 543: Save the Children....
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lilith didn’t stop because of her short exchange with Roy. Next, she continued to wander around the various human countries and controlled the monarchs and nobles under them.
A small portion of these controlled monarchs and nobles had the bloodline of the first-generation nephalem. After learning from Uldyssian’s lesson, Lilith directly adopted a compulsory control method. She used the power of her bloodline to make these monarchs and nobles unable to resist her orders and requests. Even the first-generation nephalem were like this, let alone the ones with lower bloodlines.
Lilith’s army was quietly growing. After she crushed the Demon Eye, Roy didn’t continue to track and monitor her. After all, he was only confirming if she had really arrived. Now that he had confirmed it, there was no need to annoy her.
He was only summoning and expanding his army while watching the development of Sanctuary.
The war that Inarius had started in Sanctuary with the army of Hell was gradually sweeping through more and more countries. A large number of refugees were fleeing from the flames of war to relatively safe countries. They brought immense burdens and panic, making all of Sanctuary understand that the danger of genocide caused by the demon invasion was rising.
Therefore, after the humans realized that they couldn’t continue like this, they carefully planned a desperate counterattack against Inarius. Tens of thousands of nephalem warriors fought against the Hell army in the territory around the city of Viz-Jun. Under the brave fighting of these warriors, they forced a gap in the Hell army and covered the nephalem heroes who had participated in killing Diablo in the High Heavens, allowing them to go deep into the depths of Viz-Jun to execute the decapitation tactic.
This team of nephalem heroes consisted of ten people. Among them, there were two crusaders, three barbarians, two sorcerers, a demon hunter, a witch doctor, and a monk. They were the survivors of the war with the High Heavens and the last warriors who had participated in the battle to kill Malthael. After several cruel wars, these ten surviving nephalem warriors had honed their superb skills. The nephalem bloodlines in their bodies had completely awakened and even reached the level of their ancestors. They might not even be weaker than Uldyssian.
Without the restrictions of the Worldstone, these heroic warriors had already become the ceiling of nephalem power in the current Sanctuary. If they could kill Inarius in this battle, then perhaps they would become legendary figures like their ancestors, heroes who could be recorded in the annals of human history like Tal Rasha, Bul-Kathos, Natalya, and so on…
However, an unexpected accident happened in this battle…
In the beginning, this team of heroes charged toward Inarius like a hot knife through butter. Inarius’s demon guards rushed forward one after another, wanting to stop their advance, but they all fell under the heroes’ weapons. The barbarians roared heroically, and the sharp blades and axes in their hands flew back and forth like violent gusts of wind sweeping away fallen leaves. The blood of countless demons dyed their bodies red. Flames and lightning erupted alternately among the demons, turning them into ashes and coke as their screams resounded. From time to time, light would shine in the sky, and then giant meteors would tear through the sky and smash down. Flying knives, arrows, and crossbow bolts shot out like rain, and every shot hit the most vital parts of the demons.
Due to the destruction of the High Heavens and the Crystal Arch, the holy light power of the crusaders had weakened to a certain extent. But with their fanatical faith in holy light, they also set off a storm of holy light among the demons. They smashed the demons with their shields and cut them into pieces with swords while their heavy armor blocked countless attacks for their comrades. They were the strongest pillars of this team of heroes…
No one could stop this hero team, not even demons! They were like red-hot blades cutting into butter, and in a short time, they successfully killed their way into the army of thousands and arrived in front of Inarius.
Facing the fallen angel Inarius, the father of the nephalem, the heroes didn’t hesitate at all. They rushed forward and fought him.
At this moment, not only was Inarius a powerful fallen angel, but he also controlled the power of death like Malthael. This restricted the heroes without necromancers, but they didn’t feel defeated. Instead, they activated their bloodline powers and fought Inarius even more fiercely.
An accident happened at this moment. During the Sin War, Uldyssian had completely liberated his nephalem power and obtained incomparable power. But at the time, Uldyssian was keenly aware that as his nephalem power became stronger and stronger, the humanity in his heart gradually disappeared. And now, as the battle continued to escalate, this hero team also encountered the same situation.
During the battle, it was becoming increasingly difficult for them to suppress the anger in their hearts. The blood of the demons ignited their bloodthirstiness, and the desire to kill became stronger and stronger in their hearts.
To put it simply, they were getting closer and closer to losing control!
After all, their current opponent was Inarius. As the father of the nephalem, his bloodline had a considerable influence on the nephalem. It might have been fine under normal circumstances, but now, Inarius had already become crazy under Mephisto’s torture. While he unreasonably vented his strength in battle, he also let the crazy will in his bloodline spread out without restraint. As time passed, the heroes unavoidably became affected by this crazy will.
The first thing that went wrong came from the demon hunter. Demon hunters didn’t have an official organization in Sanctuary. They were just a group of survivors left behind after demons destroyed their homes and killed their loved ones. Under their strong emotion for revenge, they constantly fought every demon they saw and continuously honed their killing skills. They were just a group of avengers who called themselves demon hunters.
While hatred for demons and the anger of revenge made the demon hunter so powerful, this extreme negative emotion quickly devoured him. In order to attack Inarius, he no longer cared about his attacks hitting his comrades!
The barbarians charging at the front were caught off guard, and their backs were full of arrows. They roared in pain and could no longer care about anything else. They turned around and swung their axes at the demon hunter. But while attacking the demon hunter, the barbarians paid a heavy price—the demon hunter’s throwing knives blinded their eyes!
A chaotic battle broke out at this moment. The barbarians, who had lost their vision and were in extreme pain, could only chop out randomly because they couldn’t see the enemy clearly. They struck toward the crusaders and the monk at the front. In order to stop the barbarians, the monk kicked each of them flying, but they knocked down the sorcerers behind them. After getting up, one of the barbarians didn’t even think about it and slashed with his ax, cutting off the right hand of one of the sorcerers holding his staff…
Blood overwhelmed their rationality, and pain stimulated their anger. The momentary internal conflict among the heroes allowed Inarius to find an opportunity. He instinctively used the black angelic sword in his hand to kill the witch doctor closest to him, then detained his soul and controlled the witch doctor’s corpse to kill a crusader.
A… crushing defeat! This team of heroes entrusted with the hope of humanity was finally killed by Inarius on the battlefield and annihilated! Their defeat also led to the rout of the tens of thousands of nephalem warriors who had covered them when they rushed into the demon army. Countless warriors were killed by the demons, and only a small number of them managed to escape.
Although they were still a little confused, people quickly guessed why the heroes had lost control. They believed that once the angel and demon bloodlines in humans surged, it would cause the nephalem to go to two extremes: either collapse to the side of the angel bloodline and become a ‘sage’, or collapse to the side of the demon bloodline and become bloodthirsty ‘devils’! Only human nature was the weight to balance these two states!
However, ‘human nature’ couldn’t allow them to obtain powerful strength to fight against demons. This was simply like a paradox…
The human army was defeated again, and the low morale caused several countries to be destroyed by Inarius’s army. It was not until this moment that the people who had learned their lesson began to face up to what the Priests of Rathma claimed.
The father of the nephalem wanted to destroy his children, and only the mother of the nephalem could save them…
This was like a father beating his children at home. At this time, only the mother could save the children, so the brats finally began to repent for what they had done. They released the necromancers they had imprisoned and started to listen to them quietly.
Just like that, the mortals began to believe in Lilith again. They started repenting and prayed and called out: Mother, save your children..
And Lilith finally responded to their call!
At this moment, the Hell army had already spread across the strait to the eastern continent. The kingdom of Khanduras had already become the frontline of Inarius’s attack. Under the continuous attacks of the endless Hell demons, the defense line of the kingdom of Khanduras collapsed again and again.
Just as another large kingdom was about to fall, countless blood-colored petals suddenly appeared on the battlefield!
These blood-colored petals fluttered down from the sky and landed on the ground, on the corpses that had died in battle. Then they instantly disintegrated, turning these corpses into a pool of blood.
There were many humans and demons dead on this battlefield, so the blood transformed from these dissolved corpses quickly gathered into a sea of blood. This sea of blood that covered the entire battlefield surged and howled, raising crimson waves.
And Blood Queen Lilith appeared in the waves of the Red Sea!
Roy’s Demon Eyes, which he was using to observe the war situation, happened to witness this scene. Lilith’s body slowly emerged from under the crimson Blood Sea. In front of countless demons and the remaining human army, she spread her demon wings and announced her return!
Facing the might of the queen, the bloodthirsty Hell army, which was roaring and still charging, could only stop and wail in fear. When Lilith stepped forward, the Blood Sea under her feet con tinued to spread with her. When the demons saw this scene, they could only retreat in fear and make way for her.
Lilith walked step by step to Inarius, who was commanding the battle in the army.
When he saw Lilith’s face, the crazy Inarius actually woke up for a short time. He didn’t attack Lilith as soon as they met. Instead, he looked at her with a complicated gaze and slowly stretched out his right hand to her.
Lilith grabbed Inarius’s right hand and rubbed it against her cheek affectionately.
But only a few seconds later, the black tear stains under Lilith’s eyes suddenly burst out like bulging veins, and her pale face became incomparably ferocious. Before Inarius could react, her wings pierced through his entire body!
The blade-like bone spikes on Lilith’s demon wings pierced through Inarius and raised his entire body high. She looked up at his struggling body, and endless pleasure appeared in her icy eyes.
The nephalem were Lilith’s children. Although they were a little rebellious and had deceived their mother, she still chose to protect her children in the end. To the nephalem, she had only used a beating and strict education method.
She didn’t even say anything after meeting him before choosing to kill him!
This scene made Roy feel a chill run down his spine. Be it women or demons, they were all so terrifying when they were unfeeling…
Lilith was holding Inarius high in the air, and the pain of his body being pierced caused his flash of rationality to be devoured by madness again. As he struggled, gray death power spread out from his body, and the black light wings on his back gradually turned gray like Malthael’s. When he raised his sword to slash at Lilith, she had already thrown him away.
After Inarius escaped Lilith’s control, the hole pierced through his body was constantly being repaired by the power of death. His gray light wings spread out, and he rushed at her. But she seemed to have foreseen it and easily dodged his attack. The moment she passed by, she inserted her right demon claw into his back.
Lilith retracted her palm, stretched out her bright red tongue, and licked her fingers, tasting the blood that came out of Inarius’s body. At the same time, countless flowers condensed from blood suddenly erupted from Inarius’s body. These flowers absorbed his power and bloomed into evil bewitching flowers of death.
Inarius was one level lower than Archangels like Tyrael, so his body had not completely elementalized. It was the same even after transforming into a fallen angel and fusing with Malthael’s death divine spark. Lilith was known as the Blood Queen, so she naturally had the power to control blood. After she extracted the blood containing the power of death in Inarius and condensed it into these death flowers, it was equivalent to the death power in his body disappearing and no longer being under his control.
In just an instant, Inarius’s body was full of these evil death flowers. Not only did they cause his strength to plummet, but these flowers all over his body also hindered his movements.
Inarius let out a painful roar and commanded the surrounding demons to attack Lilith together. The demons hesitated for a moment before rushing forward. Just as Roy had said, they were ultimately the army of the seven demon kings. Even though they were afraid of Lilith, they still chose to obey orders.
However, Lilith dared to appear on the battlefield, so how could she not be prepared? She raised her hand, and countless nephalem soldiers emerged from the Blood Sea under her feet. After these nephalem soldiers appeared, they immediately waved their weapons at the demon army, and the two armies instantly collided and fought.
Roy observed this scene through the Demon Eyes and found that these nephalem soldiers that appeared from the Blood Sea actually had powerful combat strength. These nephalem should have been ordinary soldiers under the various kings, but at this moment, they erupted with astonishing strength! They instantly crushed the Hell army!
Recalling Lilith’s ability to liberate the power of the nephalem bloodlines, Roy immediately realized why she wanted to use these nephalem as an army. It seemed like she had created an extraordinary army in a short time…
In the scene, the two armies were fighting each other, and Lilith and Inarius were fighting again. Originally, as the bait created by the seven demon kings to lure Lilith out, Inarius was quite powerful. But strangely, he couldn’t touch her at all in the battle and could only be beaten passively.
Lilith displayed… unimaginable agility. But this didn’t match her body at all. This agility was a skill, but Roy felt that it was more appropriate to describe it as foresight. It was as though she had activated… Observation Haki!
This made Roy realize that this clone of Lilith probably had the same power to control time as the clone of Lilith in the Darksiders world. But she did not deliberately show it. She only ‘saw’ Inarius’s attack movements in the River of Time and chose an appropriate evasion method.
Trouble… This is the most troublesome ability. It’s not without reason that Lilith dared to take revenge on the Burning Hells, Roy thought. But Mephisto and the others are probably watching this battle. Although Inarius is destined to lose, he seems to have played his role.. At least through this battle, he let the seven demon kings know Lilith’s ability…
