Chapter 83: Fighting the Illusion Demon
Although he said that, César looked at Roy’s eyes involuntarily.
Then he saw the pentagrams in Roy’s eyes…
In his impression, he had never seen any demon bloodline with demon eyes like Roy’s. For a moment, he had some doubts about Roy’s background.
At this time, Roy said, “You know about the execution demon, so I’m not the first to chase you down, right?”
“Yes!” César replied proudly. “You aren’t the first demon to come to execute me. Before you, Rogeros sent two execution demons. But unfortunately, they failed to kill me, and I devoured their souls instead!”
“You address him directly by name? You don’t seem to have any fear of the demon lord?” Roy asked with interest.
“What does the demon lord count as?!” César raised his ax and roared, “If my plan succeeds, I will also become an existence like him! No! I could even be stronger than him!”
“Oh?!” Roy pretended to be very interested. “Can you tell me what your plan is? Also, what’s the use of the demon artifact you stole?”
“Fool, why should I…” César subconsciously wanted to scold him, but before he could finish, a scene appeared in his mind.
In this scene, Demon Lord Rogeros suddenly appeared behind him, stretched out his hand, directly pierced his chest, and crushed his demon heart!
César was worthy of being an illusion demon. The scene abruptly stopped here. He immediately saw through it and realized that it was not real, so he forcibly controlled his thoughts and terminated this scene he imagined. But even so, the fear of death permeated his entire body, making him feel his blood run cold.
Although César had said that the demon lord was no big deal, he was actually most afraid of Demon Lord Rogeros. Otherwise, he would not have run away to another world to hide after stealing the demon artifact.
César was frightened by the terrifying scene he imagined. He flew into a rage and pointed his ax at Roy. “Damn it! You did it, right?!”
As a master of illusions of the Demon World, it was extremely humiliating for an illusion demon like César to actually fall into an illusion.
Of course, Roy knew that this guy must have been frightened when he looked at his eyes just now, so he did not deny it and spread his hands. “Why are you so angry? Weren’t we having a good chat?”
“You! I’m going to kill you! I’m going to rip off your demon horns and imprison your soul in them for eternity!” César roared as he raised his ax and charged at Roy.
Although he had managed to react in time, the scene he saw a moment ago was not an illusion but from his subconscious imagination. It was undoubtedly caused by this demon in front of him. This strange-looking demon in front of him made César feel an indecipherable bad emotion. He no longer planned to say anything to Roy, merely wanting to kill Roy and get rid of this execution demon.
César’s four heavy hooves ran on the ground. While his body was charging forward, the illusory body that he created also made the same actions as his body. He roared and rushed forward with his ax.
He was very confident in his illusion. He thought that Roy was already caught in his illusion when he observed him earlier.
The reason an illusion was called an illusion was that it could create a false appearance to deceive the opponent. When an opponent saw César’s illusory body, they would ignore the existence of César’s main body. The attacks made by the illusory body were all false, and only the main body would complete the fatal blow.
The moment the battle started, Roy had already descended from the sky. The light in his eyes left two gradually fading trails of light in the air. But both his eyes were still staring at where César’s illusory body was, pretending to be deceived by the illusion.
When César’s main body was about to approach Roy, Roy suddenly turned around and faced his true body!
This sudden change shocked César, but he had already raised his ax in his hand, and raging flames were still attached to it. He initially wanted to take advantage of Roy when he was confused by his illusion and kill him in a sneak attack. But he did not expect that Roy would not give a damn about the attack from the illusion and instead face his true body!
César could no longer stop his attack. In his haste, he could only cut down first.
The next second, a loud clang came! César’s blazing ax landed on an ice crystal shield that suddenly appeared!
Needless to say, Roy had created this ice crystal shield. It was a hexagonal shield, and the black ice crystals were not reflecting any light at all. It was exceptionally eye-catching.
The heavy blow from César’s ax did not even manage to move Roy’s feet! The impact was entirely absorbed!
This was an application of magic power that Roy had recently researched. He had to admit that the combination of the Dark-Dark Fruit and the power of frost was perfect. In the past, although the Dark-Dark Fruit could absorb damage for Roy, that only meant that when Roy received damage, it was absorbed. The pain was still unavoidable.
Now, it was good. Roy could combine the Dark-Dark Fruit’s ability to absorb damage and the power of frost to use ice to make a shield. This shield could absorb damage like the Dark-Dark Fruit and protect him from directly receiving the opponent’s attacks. As long as César’s strength did not exceed the absorption limit of the shield, he would be unable to break it!
At the same time, because of the Magic Power Virus in the ice, the flames formed by the magic power that César had attached to the ax were also devoured…
After easily blocking César’s attack, Roy used Flash, appeared behind César, pressed his demon claws against his back, and activated Dark Cold.
Kacha Kacha. A large amount of ice immediately appeared on César’s back and spread to his limbs and body!
“Ah!!!” César felt the strong threat coming from his back. He tightened his muscles, turned around, and swung his ax at Roy.
Roy instantly condensed a frost shield again to block this attack. However, César took the opportunity to twist his body and forcibly break the ice on his body. He then kicked the ground and jumped a considerable distance away.
He held the ax while panting heavily. He could feel that he had lost a lot of magic power when he was almost frozen just now! He did not understand what was going on, but he was in a passive position after two consecutive clashes, forcing César to raise Roy’s threat level substantially.
“You… weren’t affected by my illusion?” César looked at Roy in disbelief. “Is it because of those eyes?”
“You can understand it like that!” Roy nodded.
“I see. Looks like ordinary illusions don’t work on you!” The huge eyes on César’s chest were full of savageness. “It seems like Rogeros finally found the right execution demon!”
While speaking, César raised his front hooves high and then stomped on the ground!
Boom! As his front hooves landed, César’s entire body seemed to be in a trance. His body began to blur and phase away. The next moment, two illusory figures emerged from his body and appeared on each of his sides, creating two demons that looked exactly like him!
“What about this time?!” César roared with laughter as the three demons rushed at Roy together.
Roy looked up, but under the Insight of the Eyes of Nightmare, he actually found that the other two illusory bodies were real!
No, to be precise, the other two Césars that Roy saw were bodies condensed from two enormous masses of magic power! These two were not deceiving the eyes but real!
“Physical illusions?” Roy understood in a flash.
Physical illusions should have offensive capabilities, so Roy did not hold back this time and fully outputted his magic power.
The cold aura around Roy surged out, and the surrounding ground began to form a thin layer of black ice. The three Césars rushing at him were affected by Roy’s cold aura. Their feet began slipping, and one of the illusory bodies even nearly fell. Although it managed to stabilize its footing with its four hooves, a time difference arose in the three Césars’ offensive.
Roy used the frost shield to block the slash of César’s true body. Then his tail flicked out and pierced through the chest of the illusory body attacking his side. This illusory body felt very real, and there was even a kind of blocking feeling coming from his tail.
Meanwhile, Fat Tiger spat venom at the illusory body that almost fell.
The illusory body pierced by Roy’s tail turned a chaotic mass of magic power and dissipated. After blocking the slash from César’s true body, Roy seized the opportunity to grab César’s ax. His cold aura corroded upward, going along the ax to attack César’s arm.
However, at this moment, César suddenly threw his ax aside and laughed wildly. “Hahaha! You were fooled!”
With that, the eyes on his chest opened to its greatest extent, and light burst out. This ray of light instantly struck Roy.
The next moment, Roy suddenly discovered that his environment had changed. He appeared in a space full of corpses and bloody smells. He stood in a field, and not far away, endless enemies were streaming toward him, all of which were ferocious-looking demons with saliva dripping from their mouths. They pounced on Roy viciously and began tearing his flesh.
Roy howled in pain. He killed these demons with all his might, but it was useless. When he killed one, two more would throw themselves at him. Even bone arms appeared from the ground to clutch his legs firmly.
No! This isn’t real! It’s all an illusion! Roy stopped resisting and concentrated magic power into his eyes.
A pair of illusory eyes with pentagrams spinning in them appeared in this space. The next moment, this space suddenly collapsed!
When he designed the Eyes of Nightmare, Roy had said that he knew illusions were impossible to guard against completely, and he might not necessarily be totally resistant to them. But he only needed to be able to see through illusions at critical moments!
This was the case now. César used his illusion demon eyes to pull Roy into an illusion at close range. But when Roy used the Insight ability of the Eyes of Nightmare again, he immediately freed himself from the illusion!
In the illusion, Roy felt that a lot of time had passed. But in reality, only three seconds had passed since Roy was hit and struggled free. César had never thought that Roy would break free so quickly. He had just picked up the frozen ax on the ground!
Roy regained his senses and looked at César’s wide-opened eyes. He did not even think twice before directly piercing his claw into one of the eyes on César’s chest!
This time, César finally let out a blood-curdling scream…
