Xeron’s casting time was obviously much longer than before. Correspondingly, the magic he cast should be more powerful.

 After he finished casting, countless huge fireballs appeared in the sky above the battlefield. These fireballs had giant rocks within. They were simply burning meteorites! They burnt the entire sky as soon as they appeared!

 High-level fire magic: Meteor Shower!

 Both forces were engaged and inseparable on the battlefield. However, both sides suffered when the Meteor Shower rained down on them! Xeron showcased the ruthlessness a high-rank demon had. His Meteor Shower basically aimed at his own side and smashed down on them.

 In any case, in his view, the gap in strength between his army and the elves was too large. The low-level demons could not withstand the attack, so he simply took advantage of this battle to use a large-scale attack spell to strike indiscriminately, wanting to greatly reduce the elves’ military strength.

 In fact, his method was effective. The meteorites landed with massive booms. Under the influence of strong kinetic energy, waves of flames spread quickly like wildfire. A large number of dendroid guards, centaur captains, dwarfs, and even some silver pegasus knights perished in the fire. At the same time, little demons, hellhounds, long-horned demons, and evil spirits from the demon camp turned into ashes under the bombardment of the Meteor Shower!

 Seeing this scene, the elves were desperate. Their camp undoubtedly suffered greater losses! The middle of the battlefield suddenly had a huge hole, as if someone had dug it out. Only a raging fire continued burning.

Due to the distance between them, the heroes on the elven side could not stop Xeron’s spellcasting. Although not much was left of the demon army, the elves’ combat advantage more than halved.

 Xeron panted heavily. The Meteor Shower just now consumed a tremendous amount of his magic power, but seeing this result, he could not help but roar with laughter.

 “Damn those pointy-ear idiots!” Xeron picked up his demon scythe and roared at the three elven heroes in the distance. “You’re too naive to ambush the great Xeron!”

 “Is that so!” The elven hero Ryland snorted. “Demon, isn’t it too early for you to rejoice?”

 The three elven heroes waved their staffs and started casting. The two druid heroes with deer helmets were the first to finish. With their staffs held high, several Lightning Bolts blasted onto the battlefield immediately!

 The deep abyss demons fighting the green dragons were the targets of their magic attack. Thunderous roars accompanied the thick Lightning Bolts striking directly onto these deep abyss demons! Some of them immediately turned into ashes and were expelled. Those that did not die lost their fighting power instantly and were stomped to their deaths by the green dragons!

 The two druid heroes released Lightning Bolts in succession. The thick lightning blasted one after another, quickly reducing the number of deep abyss demons. After they were about done with the deep abyss demons, they turned their attention to the big demons.

 Xeron hurriedly enchanted the high-level demons to help them resist the lightning attacks, but he could still not stop the other party’s attacks. What made it worse was that Ryland finished casting at this time!

 “Resurrect! Brave warriors of the elven army!” Ryland shouted loudly. Golden light rays descended from the sky and fell on the elven corpses that were hit by the Meteor Shower.

 A miracle happened. Those dead elves were lifted up by magic and floated into the air. Their bodies shook in the golden rays, and they came back to life!

 Not only were they resurrected, but even their burn marks recovered! Their eyes were a little dazed, unsure of what happened.

 Xeron almost gritted his teeth to his gums with this development! It had never crossed his mind that Ryland had mastered the high-level light magic Resurrection! He was truly surprised!

Resurrection would reinject the souls of the deceased back into their bodies with the help of the power of light as long as their souls had yet to dissipate!

 At the corner of the battlefield, Roy’s eyes nearly popped out of his socket. Although Ryland did not resurrect all of the deceased elven warriors, he had resurrected at least two hundred of them, most of which were melee soldiers such as dendroid guards and centaur captains. Now that most of the low-level demons in the demon camp were dead, these resurrected elven melee warriors would immediately rush to attack the long-range troops. The gogs and succubi in the demon camp would be the most unlucky!

It was too common for the situation of a battle to reverse through magic in this world. Xeron could use Meteor Shower to attack indiscriminately. Similarly, the elves also had a countermeasure.

 Xeron could not resurrect his dead troops like Ryland had because demons could not use light magic. Most importantly, the souls of these deep abyss demons did not linger on the battlefield but returned directly to the Abyss. Even if Xeron could use Resurrection, he would not be able to resurrect his soldiers!

Now, only a small number of demon troops remained at the edges of the battlefield. Ryland also consumed a very large amount of magic power after using Resurrection and would probably not be able to resurrect his troops again within a short time. Nonetheless, the other two elven heroes killed the high-level demons without stopping. There were not many of them in the first place, and their numbers fell steadily. Once they decreased sufficiently, the dragons immediately attacked!

 Roy was at the edge, fighting with a group of centaur captains. There were a few evil spirits by his side that survived through luck. Honestly, Roy also survived through luck. He would have been dead if he were not so far away from the middle of the Meteor Shower. He survived that, but a green dragon was coming at him now!

 Roy determined that Xeron’s defeat was a foregone conclusion. He immediately rushed to a centaur captain, clasped his hands around its neck, and strangled it.

 The height and shape of the centaur captain were similar to Roy’s, but its strength was lacking. Its face turned blue as it suffocated, but it kicked the front hooves of its horse-like lower body. Roy knew the opponent was good at kicking, but he clenched his teeth and continued strangling it, creating a scene whereby he was entangled with the centaur captain.

 At this moment, that green dragon flew past and spewed its acid at Roy and his kind. The green mist spread out and enveloped the demons.

 As soon as the green mist approached his body, Roy made a terrible cry, then dragged the body of the centaur captain, and fell.

 Ahh, green dragon! I’m dead!

 Roy was acting such a plot now. He tightened his grip on the centaur captain as he fell and killed it. Then he used the moment of his fall to have the body of the centaur captain cover him!

 This place was a battlefield. Roy and several evil spirits had killed many elven troops earlier, so there were many bodies in this area. Roy specially chose a place with more bodies and hid his body with the corpse of the centaur captain, shielding himself from sight.

 There was no other way. Roy could only use this method now. After all, a demon would turn into ashes if they were killed and expelled. The enemy would be able to tell that it was the corpse of a demon at a glance, so he had to hide well even if he wanted to act dead.

 As to why he did not just escape… Haha, he believed that the enemy would notice him if he were to escape. An enemy hero would only need to send a Lightning Bolt at him, and he would probably perish. In particular, Roy did not know how big the elves’ encirclement was either. If he were to flee from the battlefield and there were troops in the periphery, he might just meet them head-on.

 Therefore, the best choice was to pretend to be dead. The corpse of the elven soldiers on the battlefield could give him good cover.

 However, what he did just now was quite dangerous as well. Green dragons were the weakest among the dragons, but their breath was still very powerful. Roy had to receive some damage from the acid in order to use it as a cover. Fortunately, he had the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to protect him.

The Dark-Dark Fruit could counteract damage from bullets, blades, attacks, flames, lightning, and so on and almost absorb all of the damage. Therefore, the acid mist might have corroded his body, but it did not cause too much damage to him.

 However, Roy was in immense pain while hiding under the body of the centaur captain. The original Dark-Dark Fruit absorbed damage at the cost of double the pain. Although he had used some souls to offset the effects of the pain with the system, he was not sure how much it helped. The pain was still more than 100%…

 However, he could only endure it and not allow himself to scream.

 The evil spirits were more honest. They were still standing after the attack of the acid mist. Their bodies were covered with green liquid acid, and green smoke rose from their bodies. They howled and attacked the green dragon.

 No one noticed Roy thanks to these evil spirits. In fact, no one could really see through the green mist either. There were several dwarfs nearby Roy just now, but they had heard Roy’s cry. They did not find anything amiss when Roy’s figure disappeared, thinking that he was killed and expelled, so they attacked the evil spirits.

 There was a price to pay for recklessness. The evil spirits were brave to face the dragon without backing away, but they all turned into ashes.

After clearing the area and seeing no demons, the elven forces ran to the front to join the battle. Roy sighed with relief when he saw this through the gap of several corpses.

 His mission was complete. Next, he only needed to stay hidden and watch the good show. If there was no accident, he only needed to wait until there was no one left on the battlefield to get up when the elves chased after Xeron.

 By then, Roy would be able to break away from Xeron’s control. Moreover, the souls of so many elven warriors left behind would become Roy’s harvest!
