Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 650: The Thoughts of Elune

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Facing the fearless Burning Legion demons, L’ura persisted with great difficulty.

Around her geometric body, she raised an enormous holy light shield to deal with the many fel beams fired from the Legion starships. These fel beams exploded at the edge of L’ura’s shield like raindrops. After the violent reaction of the golden Holy Light energy and the dark green fel energy, golden ripples rippled throughout the shield. Under this attack, no matter how powerful L’ura’s Holy Light power was, it would be exhausted sooner or later, so she tried to shoot down the starships. Unfortunately, the Holy Light impacts she shot out were blocked by the bodies of the arriving demons.

Just as L’ura was at a loss, Junia broke through the obstruction of the Holy Light and rushed in front of L’ura’s shield. She held a black demon sword in her hand and stabbed it into the shield while laughing wildly.

Junia pressed the tip of the sword in bit by bit while frantically outputting dark energy to the blade. The two almost opposite energies clashed violently inside the shield, causing a number of golden lightning arcs visible to the naked eye. The next second, L’ura’s Holy Light shield finally exploded, and a powerful energy storm swept everything around in an instant, blasting away Junia and L’ura.

Junia rolled in space countless times before a palm finally caught her. She turned her head to look at the owner of the palm, and a charming smile appeared on her face. She sent a soul voice transmission. “Darling, you’re here?”

That’s right. It was Roy who caught her. After catching her with one hand, he looked at the wounds on her body caused by the Holy Light explosion and said to her with a headache, “I know it’s rare for you to come out, but do you have to fight so radically?”

“But there’s only one enemy!” Junia curled her lips. “If I don’t enjoy it now, I won’t be able to fight later!”

Hearing this, Roy could only let go of her and say, “Okay, whatever makes you happy. But don’t kill her…”

Junia nodded excitedly, gripped her demon sword, flapped her wings, and rushed out again.

The next scene became the scene of Junia and the demons of the Burning Legion beating up the naaru L’ura. Beside them was an enormous demon king, who had transformed into a body of mist, watching attentively. Seeing this situation, no matter how stupid L’ura was, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to escape.

Fortunately, she was already mentally prepared to sacrifice herself. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed behind alone to attract the attention of the Burning Legion. Looking at the refugee ships carrying eredar escaping in the distance, L’ura knew that she had completed her mission, so she continued to fight the demons patiently.

Perhaps someone might ask why Roy didn’t take action.

Roy could take action, and if he did, he could capture L’ura as soon as he made a move. But the true reason why he didn’t was to test the tenacity of the naaru.

When he was in Outland, Roy had been thinking of ways to exhaust the Holy Light power of the naaru A’dal that he had caught. He wanted to witness the process of holy naaru transforming into dark naaru with his own eyes. He was very curious about this because he knew that the naaru, when in the form of Holy Light, had unparalleled faith in Holy Light. But he didn’t know if this faith still existed after they transformed into dark naaru. Unfortunately, A’dal had never been able to complete this transformation.

The demons of Outland would inflict various tortures on A’dal every day and continuously squeeze out his Holy Light power. But how should it be put? This was like the blood elves extracting M’uru’s Holy Light power in the future. It was a relatively small but long-term process. However, Holy Light power was a kind of endless energy, so this transformation might take a long time to complete.

In addition, after discovering A’dal’s true intentions, Roy had used Archangel Tyrael to set a trap. He wanted A’dal to save Tyrael so that he could find out where the lair of the naaru was, so he couldn’t really turn A’dal into a dark naaru.

Now that he had encountered another naaru here, Roy wouldn’t let her go. Since it was useless to continuously consume the naaru’s Holy Light in small amounts, he might as well try a more intense method. He would let L’ura continue to fight fiercely against the demons and consume her Holy Light energy in the shortest time possible.

If Roy were to fight personally, he wouldn’t be able to do this. He was much stronger than L’ura. The battle might end soon, and L’ura wouldn’t do her best to resist.

Therefore, Roy held the line and watched the entire process while letting Junia and the demons do it.

Of course, Roy was actually guarding against L’ura from escaping. Beings like naaru were very mysterious, and their origins had always been a mystery. No one knew which planet they lived on, and no one had seen what their civilization was like. When they appeared in front of the world, they were often very abrupt. For example, in this operation to save the eredar, they had quietly appeared in front of Velen, and no one could explain how they had arrived on Argus.

They had the corresponding technology and ability to build starships, but they rarely used spaceships.

Therefore, Roy had always suspected that beings like naaru might have the ability to travel between stars. Either they had spatial abilities and could open portals themselves, or they had the ability to transform into light!

As energy beings who played with Holy Light, it would be strange if they didn’t have this ability. Some high-level angels that Roy had seen before could do this, let alone the naaru. In other words, it was very likely that the naaru traveled to and from various planets at the speed of light.

Since Roy speculated that the naaru had the ability to transform into light, he couldn’t let his guard down. If this naaru escaped from the encirclement at the speed of light at the critical moment, it would be difficult to capture her.

This star region became very lively at this moment. The Burning Legion demons stationed in other areas around Argus had already discovered traces of the battle here, so more and more starships were rushing over. The demons who arrived at the scene couldn’t wait to join the battle against L’ura. Although Sargeras had not brought many demons, the number of demons participating in the siege had long exceeded ten thousand.

This was a rather brutal and inhumane beating. L’ura was very strong, and her energy at least exceeded that of A’dal. She was at the normal demon king level.

This was actually very easy to understand. When the naaru came to help the eredar, they might face the Dark Titan Sargeras. Under such circumstances, if the naaru who came were weak, they wouldn’t be able to provide any help to Velen.

With this comparison, Roy quickly came to a conclusion from his observation. He found that the geometric bodies of the naaru were exactly the same in composition. Be it the objects that looked like angel crowns on their heads or the ones behind their backs that looked like wings, they were all exactly the same. This race seemed to have come out of a mold without the slightest difference, making Roy increasingly suspicious of their origins. Under these circumstances, the only basis for judging their strength was the size of their bodies.

Roy didn’t remember how big A’dal’s body was, but his intuition told him that L’ura’s body was much bigger than A’dal’s. Perhaps these geometric bodies had a problem with containing energy. Even for Holy Light batteries, the larger the battery, the more power it had.

As the battle continued, Roy could feel the Holy Light in L’ura getting dimmer and dimmer. Seeing this, he knew that she wouldn’t be able to last long.

L’ura clearly realized this. To her, death was not terrifying, and naaru would die too. But the situation at the scene was that no one could deal a fatal blow to her. She could only consume her Holy Light in the constant confrontation with dark power and fel energy.

The existence of dark naaru was not a secret among the naaru. The naaru themselves knew what they would transform into after exhausting their Holy Light. Out of her blazing faith in Holy Light, L’ura naturally didn’t want to transform into a dark creature. So before her energy was about to run out, she found an opportunity in the battle to rush out from the gaps of countless energy bombardments and then turned into a golden light that rushed toward Roy!

She didn’t choose to escape but instead chose to launch a decisive blow against the strongest demon present, hoping to take him down with her…

Roy was stunned for a moment before immediately realizing what the naaru wanted to do. He grinned sinisterly and raised his hand to block L’ura.

After being pinched in Roy’s hand, L’ura erupted with her strongest Holy Light, wanting to cause an unprecedented explosion. But what she didn’t expect was that all the Holy Light power she erupted with disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea.

“What’s… going on?!”

In Roy’s palm, L’ura let out the voice of her soul for the first time, showing her astonishment.

Holy light was the natural enemy of all demons, and no demon could absorb Holy Light. This was L’ura’s understanding of Holy Light power, but unexpectedly, something beyond her understanding happened at this moment.

Roy was this beyond. When he was in the mist form of the Chaos Body, his Chaos power dissolved and neutralized all the Holy Light that erupted from L’ura. He didn’t resist the Holy Light at all, so it was naturally impossible for L’ura to cause a big explosion. But because of this dazzling Holy Light power, Auriel, on Roy’s shoulder, reacted to the stimulation of this light. She looked at L’ura, and the Void wings on her back raised slightly, as though she were greeting L’ura.

L’ura noticed Auriel’s gaze. Although she didn’t know what Auriel was, she couldn’t care less at this moment. In Roy’s Chaos field, L’ura had exhausted her last bit of Holy Light power.

The light dissipated, and just like how night arrived after sunset, a dark spot of light appeared in the center of L’ura’s body. Then this dark spot of light quickly spread out and occupied all of her body. Her originally dazzling geometric body was dyed dark.

As though the dark power had been suppressed by the Holy Light power for too long, it couldn’t wait to erupt at this moment. This dark power was much stronger than the Holy Light power before, so under everyone’s eyes, L’ura turned into a dark naaru in Roy’s palm.

The moment the transformation finished, L’ura’s irritable soul voice came. She was roaring and trying to express something. Roy was certain that the transformed dark naaru had completely lost her memories from her Holy Light form. She had become like a true dark being, full of the negative emotions of violence and destruction.

But perhaps because Roy was right in front of her, although Dark L’ura was roaring manically, she didn’t want to leave his palm. She obediently stayed in his hand and expressed her hunger to him through the roars of her soul, wanting to devour souls.

“This is…” After reacting, Roy was a little surprised. “Are you begging me for food? Are you treating me as your master?”

Roy felt as though the dark naaru had recognized him as her master for no reason, and he didn’t know how to deal with it. After thinking about it, he could only bring this dark naaru back first.

However, just as Roy was about to call Junia to leave, a voice suddenly resounded in his soul and sea of consciousness.

“Sigh…”

It was just a sigh, but it made Roy’s body and heart sound an alarm crazily. He immediately raised his guard, and all his perception abilities were quickly scanning the surrounding space.

However, he found nothing. This sigh seemed to have come out of thin air, without any corresponding existence.

When Junia flew over, she saw Roy’s posture of being ready to fight at any time. The atmosphere was a little strange for a moment, but before she could speak, he asked, “Did you… hear anything just now?”

“No!” Junia replied.

Not only her, but none of the other demons heard the voice just now. But Roy knew that it was definitely not his imagination.

After anxiously investigating for a while and finding nothing, Roy could only look at the dark naaru in his palm. He was very sure that the sigh just now appeared after this naaru completed her transformation.

In other words, it might be… Elune? Roy thought in puzzlement. But he didn’t say it out loud because he didn’t know if his guess was right. But after rummaging through his memories and recalling how the creator of the naaru might be Elune, he couldn’t help making this guess.

Perhaps Elune noticed this naaru’s fall, so she sighed?

But why am I the only one who heard it?

With this doubt in mind, Roy waited for a while until the demons were making a ruckus and didn’t understand what he wanted to do. He finally ordered, “Go back and report to Lord Sargeras…”
