Chapter 119: Choice
On the battlefield outside the castle at the end of winter, the Angel of Justice, Tyrell, held the holy sword Adrud in his hand and used the Heavenly Sword Technique to suppress the rhythm of the evil king's defense, and the pale blue holy fire whipped the demon king's body like a series of exercises, causing it to retreat continuously.
The Transcendent Skeletons of the Silver Robe Society continued to disappear in the surrounding void, using spells full of death energy to sweep the array for the archangels.
Sandwiched between two transcendents, Azmodan tried to resist, but just as he knew Tyrell, Tyrell knew his methods.
As a result, every counterattack of it was perceived and easily defused by the archangel in advance, but due to the flaws exposed during the counterattack, the skeletons on the side were given a lot of opportunities to be injured.
Hours had passed since the battle had been fought, and the Hell Demon King's powerful recovery ability and the souls that kept floating towards him on the battlefield had become the biggest motivation for Azmodan to continue to sustain it.
It's in its primordial realm, in the crucible of sin, that it can always recover as long as it can't be struck hard with a single blow to the point where it can't maintain its primordial level.
Only the Archangel's Flame of Righteousness can inflict substantial damage on it, and the wounds from the slash of the Holy Sword Adrewin are easily unrecoverable.
So, Azmodan focused most of his energy on Tyrell, and the skeleton on the side was like a buzzing fly to it, annoying, but not deadly.
"You can't beat me! No one can hurt me in my field! ”
The Lord of Sin roared wildly, and although he was beaten back, it didn't seem to fear for his life.
"You're at the end of the crossbow, Lord of Sin, and we both know you're bluffing!"
Tyrell continued his onslaught unwaveringly, the sword burning with the blue flame in his hand once again picking up the pace of his swing.
"Really? Maybe... But are you going to take a gamble, Archangel? ”
"Let's bet on whether I'll finish up first, or the lowly inferior race on the city wall will have their heads blown off first!"
"Hahaha......" Azmodan's ugly face showed a cruel smile, it knew that with the nature of the angel in front of him, he would never let those humans go.
Because he is the "embodiment of justice", and not saving him in the face of death can not be called an act of justice.
"Lift your curse of sin! Otherwise I'll make you regret it! ”
Tyrell took the moment to look back and saw that the Professions on the walls who had been affected by the effects of the original sin madness were in terrible condition.
The effect of the original sin of "rage" will become stronger and stronger over time, and the nameless fire in the victim's heart will become more and more irrefutable.
"Empty threat! Your words mean nothing! ”
With hostages in his own hands, Azmodan didn't take Tyrel's threats to heart at all, but became more certain that the archangels would not leave those humans alone, so he became even more rampant.
Its purpose has now shifted from destroying the human fortress to escaping back to Hell in peace, and although this plan did not succeed, the demon legions have also caused great damage to Winter's Castle.
Now, as long as it can return to the Sinful Realm in its entirety, it will soon be able to assemble another army and make a comeback!
At that time, it will be impossible for the heavily battered Winterend Fort to withstand the onslaught of the demon legions under its command, and the entire Winter-End War Zone will still be completely captured by it!
Although the plan was different from what it had originally envisioned, it seemed to have dragged on a little too long.
It's more likely to attract the attention of other Hell Demon Lords, but since even the High Heavens have intervened, then this ending seems acceptable.
As a result, Azmodan, who had changed his plans, began to move closer to the demon camp in the rear, which contained a large purgatory portal, and as long as it found the opportunity to activate this portal, it could return to purgatory with its own subordinates, leaving humanity with a devastated and half-ruined fortress.
The Lord of Sin even chose the opportunity to activate the portal, and the human professionals it kidnapped wildly with original sin were the best bargaining chips for it to escape!
The Angel of Justice, Tyrell, has dealt with Azmodan for countless years on the Eternal Battlefield, so naturally he knows very well what this guy is thinking.
If its plan is allowed to succeed, then the high-level heaven will not hesitate to sacrifice the power of the crystal holy arch to open the gate of heaven and send himself to the lower realm when a new battle is likely to break out on the eternal battlefield, and it will have no effect at all.
When he returns to Heaven and plunges into 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 will not be able to recover in a short period of time!
But it would not work if you completely ignore its threat, humanity has a very long defense line in the second world, which leads to a limited total number of their forces.
Every professional in every theater who is qualified to join the Legion is invaluable, not to mention the Commander-in-Chief of the Late Winter Warzone and a Legion Commander affected by the Origin Sin Frenzy.
If the remaining survivors survive, the two legions in the late winter theater will retain the fire and will be rebuilt quickly.
On the contrary, if they all die, then even if Azmodan is severely damaged this time, this war zone will be equivalent to being wasted, and the demon legions under the command of other demon kings will definitely seize this opportunity and soon come to storm the end of winter fort!
Both Tyrell and humanity are now faced with a dilemma: whether to let Azmodan leave to save the elite of the Legion at Winterend Castle.
It is still necessary to inflict heavy damage on it at all costs, but at the expense of the last spark in the fort defense area at the end of winter.
Of course, you can have both, but the conditions are very demanding.
That is to kill Azmodan directly on the battlefield in less than an hour in the next hour, so that the dilemma will naturally be solved.
However, it was almost impossible to do, at least with the power of Tyrell and Skeleton, they could not take out the Lord of Sin in such a short period of time.
Just as Tyrell was struggling, a seemingly familiar message suddenly entered his mind.
"Lord Tyrell, please let Azmodan retreat to the Infernal Teleportation Array, and I'll give it a hard blow when it activates the portal!"
“... Xue Hua? ”
"Yes, it's me."
"Where did you get your faith... Forget it, since you've decided, it's your choice, I hope you don't disappoint me. ”
Tyrell first wanted to ask Xue Hua where he got the confidence to hurt a transcendental Hell Demon King in his legendary body, but he then remembered that when he faced Durell in the ancient tomb of Tarasya, this guy didn't seem to be even level twenty at that time, and he dared to make that kind of request at that time, and what was even more unbelievable was that he actually succeeded in the end!
What's more, this multiple-choice question is ultimately to be done anyway, since Xue Hua chose to let Alzmodan activate the portal, then the worst-case outcome can also ensure the safety of the lives of those humans affected by the effect of the original sin madness.
Tyrell was also a straightforward and decisive guy, and since he chose to trust Xue Hua, he immediately started to act.
