Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 274 Divine Artifact

Although his attack did not cause much damage to his companion because only a bit of the sword blade was left, his actions shocked his companions.

“Deshir, are you crazy?!” the injured angel shouted at him while hurriedly backing away.

But after moving away, he saw that something was wrong with the angel named Deshir because his expression was extremely terrifying, as though he was enduring intense pain. He appeared to want to restrain himself but could not and had lost control of his facial expression…

“Don’t… don’t come over! Stay away from me!” Angel Deshir said with a trembling voice.

“Damn it! Demon, what did you do to him?!” The angels besieging Roy roared angrily while constantly swinging their swords at him.

“Won’t you know if you try?” Roy grinned sinisterly. He suddenly disappeared and appeared behind an angel. Frostmourne swung and cut a large wound on his wings.

The angel screamed. Although he did not fall to the ground because of this, he immediately felt the sensations that Deshir had experienced, and countless strange illusions appeared in his mind.

“N-no! Don’t get hurt by his sword!” This angel had high willpower, so he quickly reminded his other companions while he was still conscious, “I… I’m falling!”

Before he finished speaking, Deshir, the first angel that was injured, let out a hoarse roar and rushed at his nearby companions.

The wings behind Deshir were now a grayish color. The originally shiny white wings seemed to be coated with a layer of dim light, giving others the feeling that they were decaying. At the same time, his golden eyes had turned completely pale, just like the eyes of those ghouls that had been dead for many years.

But he did not seem to have turned into an undead…

When the other angels saw this scene, their hearts skipped a beat. They knew that Deshir had fallen!

However, this kind of fall seemed to be different from the fall in the normal sense. Falling in the conventional sense meant the erasure of the angel’s original memories, then abandoning the power of holy light and using the power of darkness instead. During this process, the wings would turn black. This was the commonly mentioned fallen angel.

However, Deshir’s wings had now turned gray. What was going on?! “Deshir, wake up! What’s wrong with you?!” his companions shouted anxiously while they dodged his attack and tried to wake him up.

However, Deshir turned a deaf ear. When he attacked his companions, he did not use any supernatural power at all but instead only relied on his physical strength to use his fists, feet, and even teeth to bite his companions like crazy.

His companions could not bear to hurt him, but they could not do anything about his fighting style. Instead, they were in a difficult situation. After Deshir fell, the second angel whose wings Roy injured completed the transformation. He became like Deshir and began to attack the other angels. But unlike Deshir, this angel still held a sword in his hand, so he used the sword to attack.

“Quick! Cleanse them quickly. It might be some kind of curse!” Alaric, who was below, panicked when he saw this scene and quickly got the priests to help. The other angels also reacted and used the Cleansing spell on the two mad angels.

However, it was useless! Countless Cleansing spells shone on the two mad angels, but they could not dispel the gray color on their bodies.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Roy cut a third and fourth angel.

Yes, he did not kill these angels directly but used Frostmourne to wound them. At this moment, only Roy knew what was happening to these angels that he cut.

Everything was due to the new attribute and power of Frostmourne, which evolved into a divine artifact after devouring Arantir’s soul…

After evolving from a pseudo-divine artifact to a divine artifact, Roy’s Frostmourne had a new attribute.

Mind Distortion: All beings injured by this sword will undergo the torment of will. If they fail to pass through the judgment of will, they will enter a state of mental distortion. If the wielder is not Demon Osiris, they will also undergo the torment of will.

Roy did not add this attribute himself, but it was an attribute that the system adapted. Roy did not understand the effect of this Mind Distortion at first, so he experimented with these angels.

The result of the experiment was beyond Roy’s imagination!

Angels were beings that used the power of holy light. This talent was something they were born with, and holy light power had a characteristic—the firmer the faith, the greater the strength. Therefore, even ordinary two-winged angels were warriors with strong faith. Under ordinary circumstances, it was impossible for ordinary will torment to harm them.

But merely a short time after only being scratched, the two angels entered a state of mental distortion because they could not pass through the judgment of will. This meant that the new attribute of Frostmourne was extremely powerful! And the energy level was very high!

Perhaps stronger angels might be immune to this Mind Distortion effect, but that was only a possibility. In fact, Roy could imagine that even higher-level angels would have to fight against this constant will torment after being injured by Frostmourne. And the longer the time, the higher the possibility of collapse!

After their minds were distorted, their wills completely collapsed. All their previous understanding of the world would enter a state of chaos. They would regard companions, friends, and relatives as enemies, while their original enemies might become friends or something else. They might treat a stone as an enemy and then fearlessly charge, or they might treat a poisonous snake as an intimate companion and embrace it.

They would be confused about the various lights and colors that they saw in their eyes, have deviations in their cognitions, and make erroneous judgments about sizes and heights. In short, the world they saw might be a crazy world…

In this state, in other people’s eyes, they were utterly insane…

Through the situation of the angels, Roy understood the true meaning of this Mind Distortion and could not help but shiver. This attribute was really… terrifying!

Mind Distortion was not a curse in the conventional sense. Regular curses were a form of debuffs that others imposed on you. However, once affected by Mind Distortion , it was your own problem. Your brain and consciousness had collapsed. In this case, how could a spell such as Cleansing save you?

This should belong to the category of mind magic. If you wanted to save others, you could only use the same mind magic. However, mind magic did not seem to be part of conventional magic research, and it could be said that there were very few mages who knew it.

Roy had only injured four angels, but the result was that there were four mad angels who could not distinguish between friend and foe on the battlefield. After their wills collapsed, these mad angels could no longer use the power of holy light. This could be regarded as a different kind of ‘fallen’ effect.

While the angel troops were in chaos, Roy extended his poisonous hands to the only five four-winged angels in the angel troops.

Although these five four-winged angels did not understand what happened to their companions, they were wary of Roy. When they saw that Roy was coming after them, the longswords in their hands immediately ignited with golden flames as they roared and attacked Roy together. Facing the five angel’s swords, Roy could not take them head-on. He changed direction and flew toward a four-winged angel on the right. The four-winged angel was staring intently at the Frostmourne in Roy’s hand, afraid of accidentally being wounded by this powerful demon sword. However, he forgot that Roy did not only know how to use a sword to attack.

Sizzle. Roy’s sword had yet to arrive when a black bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the sword tip and hit the four-winged angel in an instant. The black lightning was powerful, and the dark power contained in it had a huge conflict with the holy light power in the four-winged angel’s body. Although the four-winged angel mobilized a large amount of holy light power to offset the erosion of the dark power, he neglected the paralysis effect of the lightning, causing the four-winged angel’s body to stiffen suddenly and unable to move for two seconds.

What consequences would two seconds of stiffness be in the battle? Needless to say, Roy’s Frostmourne directly pierced into the four-winged angel’s chest. His companions did not even have time to save him!

After this attack, Roy flew back and fought the other four four-winged angels. The injured four-winged angel had a pained expression on his face, and he could no longer fly and fell from the sky.

When he landed, he struggled with all his might to prevent himself from falling too badly. But afterward, he could only kneel on the ground with his sword and fight strenuously against the effect of Mind Distortion.

This four-winged angel was at the dominion level, much stronger than the two-winged angels. However, he only persisted for a minute before completely collapsing! The energy level of Mind Distortion was higher than Roy had expected. After seeing this four-winged angel also turn into a gray-colored mad angel, Roy roughly had a general judgment. He reckoned that only strength at the demon lord level could resist the power of Mind Distortion. For angels, only six-winged angels could resist it.

No wonder Frostmourne could be called a ‘divine artifact’ after obtaining this attribute…

Not only that, but Roy also discovered that although Frostmourne had evolved into a divine weapon, its Soul Hunger attribute had not disappeared. In other words, this sword could still be infused with other powerful souls. According to Roy’s understanding, if other souls were infused, all the attributes of the sword would continue to increase.

The energy level of Mind Distortion would increase again, and the other curses were the same. The tag of divine weapon was not the end but could be higher…

The fortunate thing for Roy was that he had created Frostmourne through the system, so as the owner, he would not be affected at all. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to say whether he could remain unaffected by the Mind Distortion effect…

With the help of the divine artifact, Roy fought against twenty of Erathia’s angels alone. But he seemed to be at ease, and angels were constantly dying or transforming in his hands. This scene made the eyes of Archbishop Alaric, the leader of this group, bulge in anger.

Ordinary two-winged angels were mostly artificial angels made from angel cores, so even if they died, Erathia could still afford to lose them. But the five four-winged angels were true original angels. Every time one of them died, it was a great loss for the angels. Thus, as Alaric watched the angels falling, he was going crazy. He commanded the priests to attack Roy and roared at Astral and the others to split a portion of the green dragons to help the angels.

However, this request put Astral and the others in an awkward position.

After Roy helped to restrain the angel troops, Rafaro did not have to worry about the angels joining the battle and overwhelming him. But facing so many titans and green dragons at the same time, he was merely hovering on the edge of his limit. If some of the green dragons withdrew from the battle at this time, it would be equivalent to releasing Rafaro. At that time, if the green dragons could not kill Roy, and they could not kill Rafaro, then it would be tantamount to not getting any benefits from either side…

Finally, after careful consideration, Astral gritted his teeth and pretended not to hear Alaric.

For the alliance army, no matter what, they had to kill one of them first…
