On the battlefield outside the Winter End Castle, Tyrell, the angel of justice, held the holy sword Adruin and used heavenly sword skills to suppress the sin king's defensive rhythm. The blue holy fire struck the devil's body like a sword.
, causing it to continuously retreat backwards.
The extraordinary skeletons of the Silver Robe Society kept appearing and disappearing in the surrounding void, using spells full of death energy to sweep the archangel's formation.
Azmodan, flanked by two supernatural beings, kept trying to resist, but just as it knew Tyrael, Tyrael also knew its methods very well.
As a result, every counterattack it made was seen in advance by the archangel and easily resolved. On the contrary, due to the flaws revealed during the counterattack, it gave the skeletons on the side many opportunities to inflict damage.
Several hours have passed since this battle began. The Hell Demon King's powerful recovery ability and the souls constantly coming to him on the battlefield have become Azmodan's greatest motivation to continue to support him.
This is in its original domain, in the furnace of sin. As long as it cannot be severely damaged to the point where it cannot maintain its original state, it can always recover.
Only the Archangel's Holy Fire of Justice can cause substantial damage to it, and the wounds cut by the Holy Sword Edruin are easily irrecoverable.
Therefore, Azmodan focused most of his energy on Tyrael. The skeleton beside him was like a buzzing fly. Although it was annoying, it was not fatal.
"You can't defeat me! No one can hurt me in my realm!"
The King of Sin roared wildly, and although it kept retreating after being beaten, it didn't seem to worry about the safety of its own life at all.
"You are at the end of your game, the king of sin. Both you and I know you are bluffing!"
Tyrael continued to attack without hesitation, and the long sword burning with a blazing blue holy fire in his hand accelerated the rhythm of swinging again.
"Really? Maybe...but do you want to take a gamble, Archangel?"
"Let's take a bet on whether I will be killed first, or the despicable lower races on the city wall will have their heads blown off first!"
"Hahahahaha..." A cruel smile showed on Azmodan's ugly face. He knew that given the nature of the angel in front of him, he would never leave those humans alone.
Because he is the "incarnation of justice", and refusing to save someone can't be called a righteous act.
"Remove the curse of your sin! Otherwise I will definitely make you regret it!"
Tyrell took the time to look back and found that the conditions of the professionals on the city wall who had been affected by Original Sin Madness were indeed in very bad condition.
The effect of the original sin of "wrath" will become more and more powerful as time goes by, and the nameless fire in the victim's heart will become more and more difficult to relieve.
"Empty threats! Your words mean nothing!"
With the hostages in hand, Azmodan didn't take Tyrell's threats to heart at all. Instead, he became more certain that the archangel would not leave those humans alone, so he became even more aggressive.
Its purpose has now changed from destroying the human fortress to how to safely escape back to hell. Although this time the plan was unsuccessful, the demon army also caused huge damage to the Winter End Fort.
Now as long as it can completely return to the realm of sin, it will soon be able to organize an army and make a comeback!
By then, the heavily damaged Late Winter Castle will be impossible to withstand the onslaught of its demonic legions, and the entire Late Winter War Zone will still be completely captured by it!
Although this plan is different from what was originally expected, the time seems to have dragged on a bit too long.
It is more likely to attract the attention of other hell demons, but since even the higher heavens have intervened, this ending seems to be acceptable.
As a result, Azmodan changed his plan and began to move closer to the demon camp at the rear. There was a large purgatory portal in that camp. As long as it found an opportunity to activate this portal, it could take him with it. His subordinates returned to purgatory, leaving a half-ruined fortress full of devastation to mankind.
The King of Sin has even chosen the opportunity to activate the portal. The human professionals it kidnapped with original sin madness are its best bargaining chips to escape!
Tyrael, the angel of justice, has been dealing with Azmodan for countless years on the eternal battlefield, so he naturally knows very well what this guy is thinking.
If its plan succeeds, then the high-level heaven will not hesitate to sacrifice the power of the crystal holy arch to open the door to heaven and send itself to the lower world when a new round of battle is likely to break out on the eternal battlefield, which will have no effect at all.
When he returns to heaven and joins the battlefield of the Eternal War, Azmodan will have the opportunity to make a comeback at any time and once again attack this human fortress that cannot recover in a short period of time!
But it is impossible to completely ignore its threat. Humanity's defense line in the second world is very long, which results in their total power being limited.
Every professional in each war zone who is qualified to join the legion is extremely valuable, not to mention that the commander-in-chief of the late winter war zone and a legion commander are also affected by the original sin madness.
If these surviving professionals can survive, the two legions in the late winter war zone will have retained their fire, and they will be rebuilt very quickly.
On the contrary, if they are all dead, then even if Azmodan is severely damaged this time, this war zone will be equivalent to a waste. The other demon legions under the demon king will definitely seize this opportunity and will soon come to attack the end of winter. Fort!
Tyrael and humans are now faced with a dilemma: whether to let Azmodan leave and save the elite legions of Winter's End Hold.
It is better to severely damage it at all costs, but at the expense of the last fire in the defense zone of Winter's End Fort.
Of course, you can have both options, but the conditions are extremely stringent.
That is to kill Azmodan directly on the battlefield in less than an hour, so that the dilemma will naturally be solved.
However, this is almost impossible to accomplish. At least with the strength of Tyrell and Skeleton, they cannot kill the King of Sin in such a short time.
Just as Tyrell was struggling in his heart, a seemingly familiar message suddenly entered his mind.
"Sir Tyrell, please let Azmodan retreat towards the Purgatory teleportation array. I will give him a hard blow when he activates the teleportation gate!"
"...Xue Hua?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Where do you get the confidence...Forget it, since you have decided, it is your choice. I hope you will not disappoint me."
Tyrael first wanted to ask Xue Hua where he had the confidence to injure an extraordinary Hell Demon with his legendary body, but then he recalled that he was fighting against Duriel in the tomb of Talasha. At that time, this guy seemed to be less than level 20 at that time. At that time, he actually dared to make such a request, and what’s even more unbelievable is that he actually succeeded in the end!
What's more, this multiple-choice question has to be done in the end anyway. Since Xue Hua chose to let Azmodan activate the portal, the worst outcome can also ensure the safety of those humans affected by the effects of Original Sin's Madness.
Tyrell is also a decisive guy. Since he chose to trust Xue Hua, he immediately started taking action. (To be continued)
