Roy stayed in place for a while and found that nothing happened, so he could only try again.
He thought that the fluctuations were similar to spatial fluctuations, but because he was prepared this time, Roy realized that he was wrong after experimenting again.
The effects of those fluctuations were actually disturbances to the power of the world!
The moment he activated the scroll, Roy found that the repulsive force of the world, which had been acting on him and was continuously strengthening over time, experienced a drastic change in strength. It suddenly strengthened a lot and then instantly fell back to its original level. Although this change was quite short, he would notice it if he carefully experienced and sensed it.
Therefore, Roy immediately understood that the effect of activating the scroll was probably another type of 'expulsion prayer', and it was the 'expulsion prayer' used by demons!
This expulsion prayer was not used to expel demons but to expel angels!
Because not only were demons creatures from other worlds, but so were angels. In other words, the repulsive force of the world was not only effective against demons but also against angels. Since there was a special incantation that could trigger the repulsive force of the world to expel demons, then there would also be an incantation that could trigger the repulsive force of the world to expel angels!
The reason why that high-rank flame demon carried this scroll with him was to use it to fight against angels. After all, compared to low-level demons, high-rank demons were more likely to encounter angels when they went to other worlds.
Tia Dalma had said before that in order to fight against this high-rank flame demon, the people of the church had prayed for a spell similar to the descent of angels, but the summoning did not succeed. Perhaps it was because this high-rank flame demon had used the power of this scroll. This fluctuating repulsive force of the world would indeed interfere with the formation of the world teleportation gate.
Of course, not only would the Gates of Heaven not open, but the Gates of the Abyss would also not open, so the high-rank flame demon could not summon other demons to help.
Moreover, Roy guessed that it was not only the expulsion prayer of demons. Perhaps even the expulsion prayer of Heaven was the same. It was an indiscriminate attack that did not distinguish between friend and foe, and as long as it was a creature from another world, it would affect them.
Roy remembered the attack of the expulsion prayer when he faced the Spanish Invincible Fleet. Clearly, this expulsion prayer might have been passed on by angels to humans to deal with and expel demons. Because humans were creatures of this world, they would not be affected by the repulsive force of the world, so it was much more convenient to use this expulsion prayer than angels.
This incantation that could trigger the repulsive force of the world was not a type of magic but more inclined to the effect of the spirit of words. Therefore, the magic power that Roy had injected earlier was like a stone sinking into the sea, and it did not cause any reaction at all. Instead, it could be activated after he used demon blood. This might be because the medium of blood could also affect the power of the spirit of words.
But this method of using blood to activate it was probably not the best way to use the expulsion prayer. Otherwise, the repulsive force of the world that he felt just now should not have been a disturbance but the kind that continuously strengthened.
The best way should have been to directly chant these words …
However, this scroll was only a rubbing after all, and the power of the spirit of words attached to it could not be compared to the original. Moreover, the content of the sixth chapter of the Demon Bible was relatively long, and there were some relatively vague places in the middle, so it was very difficult to chant it completely.
It seemed that this so-called Demon Bible had some unknown effects. Unfortunately, demons were really bad at spreading the word. Not only did they not spread the Demon Bible to the world, but even in the Abyss, many demons probably did not know of the existence of such a Demon Bible … As a result, people even changed the name of the expulsion prayer to the exorcism prayer, thinking that only demons could be expelled, but they did not know that angels could also be expelled.
But no matter what, obtaining this scroll was a pleasant surprise for Roy. It meant that he would have an additional way to resist angels when he encountered them in the future.
In fact, he did not even need to resist angels. When he discovered signs of angels descending, he could directly use this expulsion prayer to prevent angels from descending!
Of course, Roy needed to think of a way to modify it. Since he knew that things like the world repulsive force could be affected artificially, he could actually create an expulsion prayer himself. But creating it out of thin air would consume a large amount of his soul reserves, so he might as well use the power of this scroll to modify it directly. This way, he might be able to save a lot of money.
Cassandra was dealing with the slave traders and had not returned yet, so Roy had nothing to do, so he simply took action.
He first opened the system interface and found the material for Frostmourne that he had originally drawn. He erased all the demon characters and symbols that he had casually drawn on the sword, and then he inserted the scroll into the system and turned it into the same material. Then he carved out the demon characters on the scroll and placed them on the sword!
The power of this kind of spirit-like thing did not come from the carrier itself but from the characters and symbols, so the scroll itself was not strange. What was strange was the characters on it. Roy's current process was actually transcribing it. This way, it was equivalent to using Frostmourne to carry the expulsion prayer, and the original scroll was useless.
After the transcription was completed, Roy defined its attributes.
Expulsion: When activating the words on the sword with magic power, it will activate the power of the expulsion prayer contained in it. The sword-wielder will not be affected by the expulsion prayer.
Roy did not specifically define the expulsion prayer and used the power of the words on the original scroll. This way, he did not need to expend any additional souls. But when he activated the expulsion prayer, he definitely did not want himself to be affected, so he specially set an immunity attribute for himself.
Of course, this was only for the expulsion prayer that he activated. If an enemy activated the expulsion prayer on him, he would not be able to avoid it.
He could not set himself to be completely immune to the repulsive force of the world because this attribute definition meant that he had to deviate from the rules of the world, and the consumption was absolutely astronomical. Even if Roy could bypass this rule like César and get himself a demon-human body, it was not actually immunity to the repulsive force of the world because the demon-human body could only stay in the current world forever. When entering other worlds, it would also be repulsed.
After adding this expulsion attribute, if Roy encountered enemies like angels or other creatures from other worlds in the future, he could let them taste the feeling of being expelled. If the other party did not want to be affected by this expulsion force, they would have to consume more magic power to resist, which would greatly weaken the opponent.
After completing it, Roy chose to materialize the exchange.
Since he was modifying the original foundation, Frostmourne did not disappear. When he materialized, a light flashed on the sword, and the original text symbols were erased. Then the text symbols from the Demon Bible gradually appeared on the sword.
Even though he had changed the text to the sword, the text with the power of the spirit of words still did not change. After the text appeared, it was still engraved on the sword with traces of erosion, and even the aura of the Abyss contained in it appeared. Now, not only did Roy's Frostmourne have the aura of darkness and ice, but there was also the smell of sulfur and flames in the aura of the Abyss. These auras mixed together, but there was no conflict. Instead, it made Frostmourne even more terrifying and strange …
Roy raised the sword and looked at it. He found that during the materialization process, the system automatically helped him complete the originally blurred words. It was equivalent to the current Frostmourne being a brand-new item that inherited the content of the sixth chapter of the Demon Bible.
For this modification and completion, Roy had paid the price of more than 1,400 souls, almost catching up to the original cost of creating Frostmourne. It might not have cost much to complete the text, but the cost of setting up his own exemption was relatively large.
Of course, compared to creating the expulsion prayer, Roy could absolutely accept this price of souls …
After completing the modifications, he put away Frostmourne, and Cassandra returned. Beside her were dozens of ghouls transformed from slave traders …
Unlike the priest of the Inquisition of Heresy, the ghouls transformed from these slave traders did not have consciousness and were completely under Cassandra's control.
Cassandra offered the souls of these people to Roy. Among them, eleven were pitch-black fallen souls, and they might have come from the main leaders of the slave-trading gangs. Of course, Roy was happy to see such fallen souls because according to the conversion of the Horadric Cube, one fallen soul was actually equivalent to ninety-nine ordinary souls! Eleven fallen souls were equivalent to more than a thousand ordinary souls.
When these ugly ghouls with saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths saw Roy, they felt an instinctive fear and crawled on the ground. But Roy ignored their fear and only said to Cassandra, "Now, your only target for revenge is that despicable father of yours, right?"
"Yes!" Cassandra nodded. "In fact, I'm not willing to call him father. My only relative in this world is my mother!"
"Okay, let's go to Spain!"
