Custom Made Demon King

chapter 61: get up! Roy!

What happened next was as Roy expected. Xeron could only escape.

The Meteor Shower had consumed a large amount of his magic power, and he had not recovered much of it, so he did not have the ability to use the spell again. Moreover, even if he could use Meteor Shower again, it would not have helped.

After the gogs were killed by the approaching elven warriors and the succubi suffered quite a few losses, Xeron felt that he could no longer fight back, so he turned around and escaped.

What angered the remaining deep abyss demons, big demons, and four or five succubi was that Xeron ordered them to stop the elves while he escaped on his own!

These deep abyss demons and big demons roared angrily at this order, but they had to obey Xeron. This was because when Xeron summoned them, they had signed contracts that required them to listen to his orders so that they could participate in the war. At the time, they did not think much of it since the conditions Xeron gave in the contract were very generous. However, they did not expect that in this battle, they did not enjoy the thrill of killing and plundering souls but were instead beaten like dogs! And now, Xeron ordered them to stay behind and delay the enemy, so how could they not be angry?

“Damn it! Xeron! Don’t let me see you in the Abyss!!”

A big demon roared angrily as he was killed by the elves and turned into flying ashes.

This time, it could be said that Xeron had tricked them. They were all high-rank demons and did not need to be polite to Xeron, so they all cursed him viciously. Xeron and these high-rank demons were also enemies, but those succubi, who were angry when they were killed and expelled, did not dare to shout like this.

However, Xeron turned a deaf ear to them and continued to run. He used his remaining magic power and teleported away from the battlefield to flee to the rear. To him, he already had many enemies, so he did not care about the number. There was no friendship between demons anyway. As long as he could run away, he could remain in this world and did not need to worry about returning to the Abyss and encountering enemies.

Roy witnessed this scene with his own eyes through the gaps of the corpses. Had he been silly and had not pretended to die while fighting, it was not difficult to imagine that he would have also had to bring up the rear. In fact, Roy had never believed anything Xeron said. He said that Roy had the bloodline of a high-rank demon and would take good care of him, but that was purely because he felt that he could make use of Roy, this elite demon. When it truly came to Xeron’s own safety, he would not hesitate to abandon all the troops to help him break out.

The elves were not careless. After killing and expelling all the demon soldiers, the dragons once again rose into the air. Ryland and the other two heroes led their troops to chase after Xeron. This was the Heroes of Might and Magic world, not like in the game where they could directly return to their cities as soon as they ran. Among the elven troops, the losses of the dragons were not much, and they still retained powerful maneuverability. Therefore, there was a high chance of chasing down Xeron and killing him.

The elves had no intention of letting this arrogant demon go. Although they knew that killing this demon would be difficult without the help of the human angels, and also that it would cost a huge price to kill and expel this demon, they could not let Xeron have his way even if they could not truly kill him.

The elves started to give chase with a rumble. However, they could not just leave the bodies of their compatriots on the battlefield, so they left a small group behind to gather their comrades’ corpses.

Although Ryland knew how to use the Resurrection spell, he could no longer resurrect these dead elven warriors because, generally, souls could only stay for a very short period of time after their deaths. After exceeding this time limit, their souls would begin to dissipate. This period of time was so short that Ryland had not had time to restore his magic power and cast this spell. Therefore, it could be said that these warriors had truly died in battle.
