Chapter 30: Confrontation with Diablo (1)
Diablo looked at his long-lost terrifying and hideous body, and his heart was filled with boundless anger. Because his power could not be replenished in the human world, as the main demon god of Burning Hell, he was chased by a group of humans and hidden, and finally sealed in humiliation. In the past two centuries, he has been constantly corrupting and eroding the soul stone, and finally making it fragile, so that it can be completely shattered with a light fall. He has accumulated too much anger, he wants to let humans know the real horror of the demon king of hell, but not now, Diablo knows that he has been sealed for too long, his strength has not been fully restored, and his strength can only exert one or two percent, and he must absorb the fear of humans to replenish his energy.
When he saw the soul stone shatter, Liszt knew that things were going in the worst direction. Diablo - Diablo has been released. Liszt's hand clenching the bow oozed sweat, and he knew that he could not retreat, otherwise not only Grandpa Austin would be in danger, but even Caldim would be threatened - Diablo would definitely go to his brother. For the first time in many years, Liszt felt the breath of death so strong, and a tidal wave of boundless fear enveloped him tightly. However, since he chose to pick up a bow and arrow and become a witcher, he has not thought of backing down. At this time, Liszt realized that the precept is not only to use reason to control one's hatred and anger against demons, but also to control one's inner hesitation and retreat, and suppress the trembling and powerlessness of one's body when one's despair is extreme, when surrounded by darkness, and when one's fear is faced. Even death can't make a witcher surrender! After experiencing the death of relatives and friends one after another, Liszt regarded life as extremely precious, and because of this, his hatred of Diablo was unforgettable.
Liszt, who was trembling under the coercion of Diablo's fear, suddenly stopped trembling, and his originally frightened and confused eyes erupted with majestic anger. Underneath this sinful monastery, there was an infinite darkness that wanted to devour Liszt, as if ordered by Liszt's rage, obediently enveloping him, revealing only a pair of eyes burning with hatred. "Demon, today is your time of death! Of course, you have the right to choose how you die. An indifferent voice came from Liszt's hoarse throat, freezing the air as well.
Diablo, who had been reborn, had long noticed the young man, and he knew that this man had tried to stop his resurrection, but had not succeeded. He was pleased to see the young man gradually fall into fear of him, hoping that he would give up his resistance step by step and become his slave. But, to his surprise and anger, the young man, instead of being consumed by his fear, came to his senses and was united with the powers of the dark hell. Hearing Liszt's ultimatum-like words, Diablo was completely enraged, "Again! Again! Someone dares to challenge my majesty! Trying to trample on my will! This reminded Diablo of the shame of being sealed by Hradim, the last thing he wanted to recall.
"Human, you will be caught by me and tortured endlessly in Burning Hell! All your family and friends will be destroyed in my boundless wrath! Diablo roared angrily.
"It's a pity that the answer is wrong, and I've already thought about your death." Liszt said coldly. While the power of darkness has greatly increased Liszt's strength, it has also continued to corrode his body, and he must fight quickly, he has a hunch that his still young body will not last long.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liszt took "acceleration" to the limit, and in this state, he even felt that he could surpass the speed of sound. I saw that Liszt instantly condensed the power of the shadow, formed a cursed arrow, and shot towards Diablo continuously. His father's bow also seemed to sense the presence of evil, and attached the wrath of Yang and Kovaan to the shadow arrows that were fired, and in just a few arrows, it was like a dragon in the abyss, roaring towards the Lord of Fear.
Although Diablo's strength is incomplete, as a hell demon god, one or two percent of his strength is already extremely terrifying. Although Liszt's attack was invincible, it was easily defused by Diablo. I saw Diablo summon a wall of white bones with his hand, and although the arrows broke through many layers of defense, they were finally blocked by more bone walls. However, Liszt was not arrogant enough to think that the Lord of Fear was so easy to solve, and when the arrow was fired, he began to move. His blistering speed was difficult for even Diablo to keep up with, and using the advanced technique of "Leaping", the Shadow Wheel Flip, Liszt was able to shoot at high speeds while moving. Liszt's speed had exceeded its limits, so much so that there were afterimages of him everywhere.
At this point, Diablo could not defend completely, because Liszt alone formed a siege around him, as if sharpshooters were attacking him at the same time on all sides. Diablo was in agony with the continuous attacks, and he roared, "You hateful little bug! Just run away everywhere! You've completely me off! As he spoke, Diablo contracted his body, gathered energy, and then burst out. The flaming nova from hell flew in all directions, and when Liszt saw this all-encompassing terrifying magic, he could only stop his attack, concentrate his mind, and use flashing patience to dodge this wave of attacks. Diablo obviously didn't expect this rat-like archer to flash, and he felt as if he had been tricked. "You bug! I'm going to let you die! Diablo waved his hand to unleash the flames of hell, but not to attack Liszt—a myriad of hideous-looking skeletal soldiers, stenching flesh beasts, and bloodthirsty screaming demons poured out of the flames and pounced on Liszt.
Although the underground space of the monastery is large, most of the space is still occupied by the demons that are constantly pouring out, so that Liszt loses the opportunity to deal with Diablo. And once there is no space, the speed that Liszt is proud of cannot be used at all, and for a while, Liszt is forced into a desperate situation by the demons.
Diablo looked proudly at Liszt, who was struggling to dodge, and laughed presumptuously: "Worm, now it's your turn to choose, choose your way of death, I will generously satisfy you." ”
"There is no way," Liszt thought. "If this continues, I will soon be dragged to death if I am not strong in continuous fighting. That's the only way to use that power. Bless me, Father. Liszt closed his eyes and silently dismantled the illusion of the armor on his body, while reciting the spell his father had left behind to activate the true power of the armor and his bow. Young once wrote in his notes that before Liszt came of age, he could only use the power of this forbidden when facing the desperate situation of death.
Liszt, who had been dodging all kinds of attacks, suddenly stopped, and let the smiling demon pounce on him. "Finally giving up, huh, what a humble bug, but barely giving me a little fun." Diablo smiled evilly.
Just when the skeletal sword and the beast's claws were about to tear apart the thin Liszt, suddenly Liszt opened his eyes, only to see an incomparably powerful dark power burst out from Liszt's body, even surpassing the hell demon god Diablo, tearing all the demons around him to pieces. Liszt grew wings of materialized shadows behind him, and angry horns grew on his head, and at this moment, it seemed that Liszt was the demon god of purgatory, spewing endless fear and darkness. This is the shadow power that Yang and Covaan have accumulated by hunting countless demons in Hell!
"Now, who's the prey?" The demonic Liszt tilted his head and smiled evilly.
