With blazing holy flames all over his body, Imperius charged at Roy again.

Looking down and seeing him rushing over, Roy waved his hand and shot several huge black lightning bolts at him. But the moment the lightning landed on Imperius’s head, his body suddenly turned into a ray of light and jumped forward at the speed of light to avoid the lightning.

The black lightning kept adjusting its position to strike, but Imperius dodged them all by leaping forward. His figure flashed nimbly across the battlefield as he rapidly approached Roy.

This time, Imperius didn’t attack Roy’s head. Instead, he held the Spear of Valor and slashed horizontally at Roy’s waist. With his swing, a giant arc-shaped flame slash appeared and tore a hole in Roy’s waist.

The attack hit, but there was no feedback from the weapon. Imperius was shocked and quickly flashed away from his position. Just as he left, a violent hellfire pillar erupted from the ground below. A wave of flames soared into the sky and directly engulfed the place where Imperius was just now.

Although Imperius dodged the first attack, hellfire pillars erupted from the ground one after another, chasing after him and continuously bombarding him. He had no choice but to quickly change his position. Finally, he flashed behind Roy and seized the opportunity to counterattack. He jumped to Roy’s back with both hands gripping his spear, arched his body, and stabbed the tip of the spear into his back.

Facing Roy’s enormous body, his attack seemed to have fallen into a mass of mist, and the feeling of hitting was still absent. He maintained his stabbing posture as he drilled a hole in Roy’s body and rushed out from his chest.

“Damn it! This mist isn’t physical!” Imperius cursed. Before he could adjust his position, a black ball of light exploded under his feet! It was as though it had been specially waiting for him…

“Not good!” Feeling the bone-chilling aura in the black light, Imperius immediately determined that it was the absolute zero attack from before. But it was too late for him to flash again. Roy had already sealed the space around the black light.

The strong cold aura of absolute zero erupted in this small space, suppressing the blazing holy flames on Imperius’s body back to the surface of his body. Frost instantly condensed on his armor. During the process of the speed of light slowing down violently, Imperius only felt that all his vision had fallen into endless darkness, and he could no longer see any color or anything. His movements almost instantly stopped, and his thinking began to slow down.

The endless darkness in front of him continued for a long time. It seemed like ten thousand years had passed until an ethereal voice slowly entered his mind.

“1m… per… ri… us…”

“1m… per… ri… us…”

In the beginning, every word of the voice in his mind took a long time. But later on, the interval slowly shortened and finally turned into an anxious shout.

Imperius gradually regained his senses, and his vision slowly recovered. The darkness gradually faded, and a blurry figure stood in front of him before finally turning into Auriel.

“W-what happened?” Imperius asked in a hoarse voice while holding his head.

“You haven’t moved this whole time!” Auriel explained with relief when she saw that his thoughts had returned. “You were swallowed by that dark space just now. I used the Cord of Hope to pull you out, but you didn’t move after coming out…”

“Is… is that so?” Imperius shook his head vigorously. “How long was I in there?”

Auriel replied, “It took less than a second! When you attacked, Itherael determined that you were in danger. I threw out the Cord of Hope according to the direction he indicated, and the moment the dark space completely closed, I pulled you out… Fortunately, if it had been a little later, you would have probably been completely frozen…”

“Less than a second?” Imperius looked up at the battlefield and found that

Tyrael had already taken his offensive position with his holy sword in hand. Itherael assisted him in attacking from the side and circled around Demon King Osiris’s enormous body. Recalling the experience just now, Imperius couldn’t help feeling a lingering fear. “But I feel as though I’ve been in darkness for tens of thousands of years… It’s an incomparably terrifying experience.

Thank you, Auriel. You saved me once.”

Auriel didn’t feel what Imperius felt just now and asked curiously, “Is it really that terrifying?”

“Believe me! It’s a feeling that’s even more terrifying than death!” As Imperius spoke, he ignited his holy flames again. After leaving the absolute zero space, the holy flames on his body dispelled the frost on his armor. But after the black ice crystals fell off, he noticed that his armor was already damaged. Under the extreme cold, even the incomparably solid archangel armor forged in the High Heavens’s holy light forge had countless tiny cracks all over his body.

Fortunately, using the power of authority, Imperius could absorb endless magic power to repair the armor, but it would take some time.

“I’ll go. This time, I’ll fight side by side with Tyrael!” Imperius said solemnly.

“You and Itherael, pay attention to supporting us because only your Cord of Hope can pull us out of that dark space!”

“Leave it to me!” Auriel nodded.

Imperius’s body turned into a ray of light and flew toward the battlefield. At this moment, Tyrael was deep in a flame storm that Roy had summoned. In the raging hurricane, violent destruction flames filled it and howled as they rolled rapidly. Tyrael was in the flame storm and was constantly being roasted, so he could only raise his holy light shield to resist with difficulty.

Imperius rushed into the hurricane without hesitation. Dozens of Spears of Valor appeared around him, and these spears transformed from his holy light power were also burning with powerful holy flames. Under his command, these spears flew to various parts of the hurricane. Then they suddenly exploded and offset the power of the hurricane with the force of the explosion.

After the flame storm dissipated, Tyrael was rescued. His originally dark face was now red from the high temperature, looking really black and red.

“The nature of his power has changed too much!” Tyrael said after seeing Imperius. “Demon King Osiris seems to be able to control all elemental powers.

However, these aren’t conventional elemental powers but mutated elemental powersr

“I discovered it too!” Imperius nodded. “But what we should be most careful of is the dark absolute zero space. Once we’re caught, it’s over. We might be killed directly, and even our souls might not be able to escape…”

“How should we attack him?” Tyrael asked with a headache. “That mist-like body doesn’t have any physical entity to speak of. Even the wind can’t blow it away, and the power of holy light can’t damage him…”

Imperius looked at Roy not far away and found that he wasn’t moving at all, as though he was waiting for them to attack. He guessed that Demon King Osiris might be brewing something.

The key now was how to break out of the situation. There had to be some way to kill Demon King Osiris. Otherwise, if they continued fighting like this, the four Archangels would definitely fail in the end.

Fighting had always been what Imperius was good at. In his millions of years of battle, he had gained his own unique war wisdom. After thinking for a while, he suddenly turned around and looked at Auriel not far behind. “We need to use Auriel’s power!” Imperius said. “The power of her ‘Hope’!” Hearing this, Tyrael immediately understood.

Auriel’s ‘Hope’ authority sounded a little incomprehensible. But in fact, it was a very unique authority power because as long as there was ‘hope’, it could bring about ‘miracles’!

The so-called ‘miracles’ here referred to some ultra-small probability events. If there was a 99-99% chance of failure in a battle and only a 0.01% chance of winning, then Auriel’s power was to lead everyone to find the 0.01% chance of winning!

Previously, she had relied on this ‘miracle-like’ power and used the Cord of Hope to pull Imperius out of Roy’s absolute zero space. Even if there was only a slight possibility that she could save Imperius from it, she could do it. In addition, through the Authority of Fate, Ithuriel had predicted certain scenes and told her, making it even easier for her.

In other words, this was a power of authority that belonged to a European monarch…

Now, in the conventional combat mode, the Archangels couldn’t deal with Roy, so they could only think of ways to use Auriel to find ‘miracles’ and understand Roy’s weaknesses. They believed that even the strongest demon couldn’t be truly invincible.

“Alright. This time, we’ll truly fight together!” Tyrael smiled. “Imperius, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but you’ve been charging forward alone every time. We haven’t been able to cooperate with you for a long time! The last time

Diablo attacked the High Heavens was also…”

Imperius’s face darkened when he heard this. The last time he faced Diablo, his old opponent, he had suffered a severe blow. It made him furious when he thought about it. It was a humiliating defeat, but Tyrael just had to mention it…

But now was not the time to worry about these things. After seeing Auriel nod at him, Imperius knew that she had already understood his thoughts. With Itherael by her side, the two of them would definitely be able to find a way to defeat Demon King Osiris. Now, he only needed to attack continuously with Tyrael.

However, before the two of them could attack, Roy, who had not moved much, slowly raised his arms. When the giant mist body did this, the ink-like mist flowed again.

“Done!” Roy’s soft voice rang out. Then in all directions around the Silver City, numerous Demon Eyes with small wings suddenly appeared!

These Demon Eyes were what he had been spreading out just now. The reason why he had been passively defending against the attacks of Imperius and Tyrael was to arrange and spread these Demon Eyes.

Attacking the High Heavens was not Roy’s job alone. He wasn’t arrogant enough to think that he could conquer the High Heavens alone. After entering the High Heavens alone, he only stabilized his footing first.

Now, with the arrangements of the Demon Eyes completed, the war should enter the next step.

A large number of winged Demon Eyes were scattered all over the battlefield.

After receiving Roy’s magic power transmission, these Demon Eyes emitted waves of light, and the light continuously spread out as portals opened one after another!

Tens, hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of portals opened at the same time. This was the limit of Roy’s magic power support. As soon as these portals opened, a large number of terrifying roars came from the opposite side.

When the first demon jumped out of the portal, demons jumped out one after another. In less than ten seconds, all the portals began to spit out demon soldiers like dumplings…

In just a moment, hundreds of thousands of demons had already invaded the High Heavens, and the bell of war was ringing…
