As Roland stared, the sword of the first Headless Horseman finally struck the Balrog.
That was really a very, very light slash. Not to mention by the standards of the Headless Horseman, even if he were to slash at a mortal, this sword would only be able to cut through flesh and blood at most, not even the bones.
There is really no way around this.
He had almost been burned to death - or rather he had been burned to death. His headless horse had long been burned to death on the road, the head in his arms had long been reduced to ashes, and the lower half of his body was with the horse.
It turned into ashes, with only a spine, half of a shoulder and only two-thirds of his right arm remaining in the upper half of his body.
The reason why he was able to cut down Balrog was because when he was thrown away by the horse, the sword blade happened to hit Balrog.
If this can be considered a slash, then walking should be considered a bruise.
But even with such a weak attack, Balrog still counterattacked mercilessly.
Starting from the position where it came into contact with the Balrog, the Headless Horseman's black long sword was ignited by the extremely scorching heat wave. The golden-red flame ignited from the blade, and in turn burned all the way, burning everything that could be burned but could not be burned.
It was all gone, and pale ashes were flying in the air.
However, as Roland said, their sacrifice was not meaningless.
First of all, these demons at least blocked the Balrog firmly in place, preventing the Balrog from approaching Roland with the blind prayer behind him, and controlled Roland within the Balrog's attack range.
——Even if the price is the death of tens or even hundreds of thousands of demons.
"Return to the dust—"
Roland aimed at that moment of opportunity and suddenly raised the scepter in his hand.
The next moment, the black ice of the underworld suddenly burst out from Roland's feet, spreading along the ashes of all the devils after their death, freezing all the ashes into black ice, thus completely freezing the magma under the Balrog's feet.
The most conspicuous place is the place where Balrog was beheaded by the Headless Horseman.
Compared with those devils who were instantly reduced to ashes, the headless horseman died because the heat in his body expanded and exploded. After he was burned to death by the counterattack flames, his ashes were flying in the air.
It was inevitable that some of it would be contaminated by the Balrog.
After that, an expanding layer of black frost appeared on the Balrog's body.
It was like an expanding cancerous growth. The frost slowed down its movement until it spread to connect with the black ice on the ground, and the Balrog was frozen in place by Roland.
This has nothing to do with temperature.
In a normal world, no matter how low the temperature is, it is impossible to freeze the Balrog because he is just a ball of flame.
To be precise, this is actually a phenomenon that occurs naturally in the underworld.
After the laws of the underworld were driven into the abyss by Roland, some phenomena that existed in the underworld began to repeat themselves in the abyss. It was like the immortality of the Balrog was weakened, and it was like it was just a ball of flame but
It will be as if it will be frozen. In the underworld, nothing will definitely not be frozen.
Rather than saying it was frozen, it was better to say it was still.
It is absolute tranquility and stillness, coming from the iron rules of the underworld. No matter how many combinations of prayers are used, the pure power of rest cannot be completely replicated. After meeting the requirements, it can even freeze the Balrog for a short period of time.
However, it is impossible for Roland to spend hundreds of thousands of demon lives just to freeze the Balrog.
He decided to exterminate the demons here and end the demon invasion early.
"Elucard——"
Roland did not hesitate and called softly.
"I am here, His Majesty the Emperor."
Elucard responded immediately.
Roland didn't even have time to look at her face to know what she was thinking at the moment.
Without any hesitation, he answered: "Go and destroy the devil immediately! Purify the filth!"
"As you wish."
Elucard bowed her head and responded devoutly, a hint of crimson madness gradually rising on her delicate and sweet face.
She didn't ask Roland how he wanted to deal with this huge Balrog.
Elucard only knew that as the emperor's attendant, she had no need to raise questions.
Questioning is doubt. All she has to do is obey.
She believed that Roland would be able to solve the current dilemma, otherwise he would ask Elucard for help.
This is the duty of a loyal servant——
But there is no doubt that the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of demons cannot be just for Roland to immobilize the Balrog.
In the space behind Roland, something terrible seemed to be slowly appearing.
It was a huge floating thing. In terms of size, the width was one hundred and thirty meters, and the length was a little more. At first glance, it looked a bit like a box or a spaceship, but when I looked closer, I realized that
That's the coffin.
However, there was no one sitting on the coffin. It was just a clean coffin board.
So, Roland took a deep breath, and the crystal crown on his head suddenly lit up with an extremely bright light.
"May you come, Master!"
While he was praying loudly, a vast consciousness suddenly fell from the sky and poured into Roland's mind. For a moment, he even thought that he could kill the plane in front of him with just a wave of his hand.
the illusion.
But after Roland regained consciousness, he directly put away the blind prayers behind him, and then summoned his own projection again.
The next moment, a cold and indifferent pressure fell from the sky, and the air seemed to become cold. A silver-gray halo lit up behind Roland, illuminating a large area of the sky as dark as blood.
"——I will bring disaster upon you, Nokgar."
Behind Roland, a black, slender silhouette that could not be seen directly by mortals whispered in a cold and indifferent voice.
"I will cut off everything that is yours from the earth. Everything that is yours will be cut off, whether it is stone or flesh."
As soon as her voice fell, invisible waves seemed to ripple out.
The next moment, like wheat being cut, all the demons fell down and lost their breath. They had no scars, no curses, no diseases, no cardiac arrest, or even aging.
They just died. They were dead, there was no reason other than that.
All things have an end, and they are just bringing their own state of death forward to this moment.
What's even weirder is that the faces of these demons are filled with strange peace and happiness, as if they have discovered the mystery of the universe before they die.
"May all glory go to the teacher."
Roland bowed his head respectfully and turned around to salute. The instructor also smiled and nodded to Roland.
This was the first time he saw the true form of the sleeping master in the material world.
It is precisely because the saint is too powerful to enter the auxiliary plane in his complete form, that he needs lords who can help manage the auxiliary plane.
Summon the underworld to replace the law of the abyss, use the underworld to send yourself and Eluka in safely, and then use all your strength to use the prayer leading to hell to open the door to hell, let the mentor send the devil in, and let the devil buy time to incarnate the mentor
Summon it out.
This is Roland's complete plan. As long as it succeeds, it will not only eliminate the crisis of demon invasion, but also eliminate Nokgar when he is at his weakest, and even regain the elemental plane.
The only difference from Roland's imagination is that even if the mentor only comes in an incarnation, he can still easily wipe out all the lives of a group of people on the same plane. In the original plan, this step was originally done by Elucard and the devils.
With.
"Are you...the Everlasting Sleep Instructor?"
At this time, a gentle and deep voice sounded from the side.
Roland turned his head and found that the dim yellow that had been dancing in the eyes of the silent Balrog had finally been extinguished, turning into two amber-like crystal clear gems, and the lines on his body had become much more complicated.
"Which incarnation are you? Naraku? Orlon? Pester? Why do you want to enter my world?"
"I am Narola, sleeping Narora."
Mentor Changmian turned his head and his voice gradually turned cold: "Nokgar, I'm here to tell you -"
