While Roy was flying, Julia, who he was holding in his hand, woke up.
Julia had been standing upside down, so when she woke up, her perspective was also upside down. She was stunned for a while before realizing her situation and immediately began to struggle.
"Let go of me! Demon! "
Julia roared at Roy.
Then … then Roy really let her go! As soon as he let go, Julia fell directly to the ground.
Julia tried to flap her wings to fly, but it was in vain because the feathers on her fallen angel wings had already been burned to tatters by the high temperature of the missile explosion. The black feathers on them were incomplete and could not give her enough buoyancy.
As a result, Julia fell headfirst to the ground. Since this was already a mountainous area, the ground was relatively soft, so after Julia fell, almost half of her body was stuck in the soil.
"Ugh …! Ugh …! "
Julia made muffled sounds in the soil, and her long legs kicked desperately. But because it was difficult for her to borrow strength, she could not get herself out for a while.
"…" Roy was speechless when he saw this scene in the air. He could only land and pull Julia out of the ground like pulling a carrot.
"Cough, cough!" After being pulled out, Julia lay on the ground and coughed hard. When she was buried, she ate a lot of soil and was extremely upset. After spitting out all the soil in her mouth, she raised her head and roared at Roy angrily, "You … how can you humiliate me like this?!"
Roy spread his demon wings and made a regretful expression. "Didn't you ask me to let you go? I let you go, but you can't fly. Is it my fault? "
After hearing this, Julia curled the wings on her back. After seeing her miserable wings and feathers, she punched the ground hatefully. "Damn it! Those humans, they can actually hurt me!? "
Although she was a female fallen angel, she was not like a real woman who did not understand the situation and pestered endlessly. As soon as she woke up, she immediately recalled the enormous explosion before she lost consciousness. Clearly, she had been attacked by a human weapon and fainted. After she fainted, this frost demon in front of her saved her.
Struggling to stand up, Julia regained her expressionless appearance and said to Roy, "Demon! I won't pursue the matter of you being a deserter, and I won't mention it in front of anyone. Just pretend that we've never met, understand? "
After all, Julia was the supervisor. For her to make such a promise meant that she had already recognized Roy for saving her.
Roy nodded readily. "No problem!"
Julia turned around and wanted to leave, but at this moment, Roy suddenly said, "Are you planning to return to the previous city? If I were you, I wouldn't go back at this time! "
Turning around, Julia asked in puzzlement, "Why?"
"Because War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, has already descended, and he landed in that city!" Roy said. "If you go back now, you'll be courting death!"
"What?! Impossible! " After hearing Roy's words, Julia was stunned, and even her voice could not help but raise a few octaves. "The End War has just begun, so how can they descend at this time?!"
Julia was Samael's personal guard, so ever since she became a fallen angel, she had been by Samael's side and stayed in this world to participate in the war between Heaven and Hell, so she knew and understood the existence of the Charred Council in this world.
Behind the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse was the Charred Council. They enforced ancient laws and contracts and maintained the balance of the world. The End War was decided by them, and they were the final arbiters of the war. If the Charred Council sent the Four Horsemen to intervene in the End War at this time, it would be equivalent to the referee going down to compete with the contestants. This was fundamentally against the rules, and with the Charred Council's usual style, it was absolutely impossible for them to do such a thing!
Therefore, after hearing Roy's words, Julia's first reaction was that Roy was lying to her.
However, Roy was only casually saying this to her. After all, Julia was the first fallen angel he had encountered in a long time, which satisfied his curiosity a little. In addition, Julia could communicate better than other demons, so he casually said this as a reminder.
However, Roy did not need to help her answer her doubts and doubts, so he flapped his wings and flew up. "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I'm leaving!"
With that, Roy wanted to leave.
Seeing that Roy really wanted to fly away, Julia quickly said, "Wait … wait!"
"What's wrong?" Roy frowned.
"Okay. Regardless of whether what you said is true or not, I plan to recover my magic power first before going back!" Julia said, "But during this period of time when my magic power recovers, I hope you can temporarily protect me!"
Julia had no choice but to do this. When she was bombarded by the missiles, she subconsciously mobilized all her magic power to resist. Now, the magic power in her body was empty, and even her wings were burned. If she returned to the battlefield in this state, even if what Roy said about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse descending was false, she might be attacked by other angels, so it was definitely impossible for her to go back like this.
"In exchange, after my magic power recovers, I can use my authority to apply for merit for you!" Julia said.
"Merit?" Roy touched his demon horns. "What benefits can I exchange for?"
Julia was not surprised by this. It was always like this when dealing with demons. If there was an exchange of benefits, just say it directly. Beating around the bush would be self-defeating, so she explained, "You shouldn't have participated in this End War before? Hmm … Let's put it this way. Most of the time, when it comes to wars with the Swords of Angels, the high-level demons leading the army will usually give merit to the brave warriors. As a supervisor, in addition to punishing deserters, I'm also responsible for recording merit. As long as you obtain merit, you can exchange it for corresponding rewards from His Majesty Samael after the war ends! "
"But let me make it clear first. I won't be able to give you too much merit!" Julia said.
"Exchange for rewards from Demon King Samael?" Roy was tempted. This was a little interesting, so he could not help but ask Julia, "What kind of rewards can I exchange for?"
"Uh … This depends on His Majesty Samael's mood!" Julia was stunned for a moment. "But in the past, most demons obtained souls as rewards …"
Hearing her say this, Roy suddenly lost interest.
If there were only souls as rewards, it would be a little useless. Can't I get souls myself?
Roy remembered very clearly that the humans of this world had all become extinct in the end. In other words, just the Earth of this world might produce hundreds of millions or even billions of souls in this End War. As long as he worked a little harder, the souls he obtained might be more than the rewards from Samael, right?
"Is there nothing else?" Roy asked.
Julia felt Roy's lack of interest from his tone. She thought about it and said, "If you don't want to, then forget it!"
Roy thought about it and finally nodded. "Okay, it's better than nothing! Okay, let's begin. Hurry up and recover your magic power! "
Julia did not waste any time. She looked around and found a relatively flat place. Then she took out her sword and half-knelt before stabbing it into the ground.
The next second, a magic formation appeared under her feet. Unlike Roy's common pentagram magic formation, the magic formation under her feet was actually a nine-pointed star pattern! Julia was in the center of this pattern.
With a buzz, the magic formation suddenly emitted intense black light. This light soared into the sky and instantly dyed the nearby sky black.
Seeing this scene, Roy finally understood why Julia wanted his help to protect her. Such intense black light could easily be seen from several kilometers away. If an angel army passed by nearby, they would definitely come down to check.
Julia, who was in the formation, was slowly floating with the black light. There seemed to be an air current in the magic formation, causing her long black hair to stand up and flutter slowly.
"What I'm using now is a dark ritual!" Julia said to Roy. "This ritual can allow me to quickly recover my magic power. But during this period, I must stay in this magic formation and not move! If an enemy appears, I'll have to rely on you to resist them! "
"No problem!" Roy summoned Frostmourne from the system space and stabbed it into the ground.
Looking at Roy's sinister-looking sword of curse, the corners of Julia's mouth twitched. She recalled the scene of being expelled by the power of the world when she fought Roy. This was not a good memory …
At this moment, countless demon symbols began to float out of the magic formation. These demon symbols gathered together and slowly rotated around Julia's body. After seeing the ritual activate, Julia did not talk to Roy anymore but focused on recovering her magic power.
Roy looked at the dark ritual with interest. It seemed to be a kind of magic that used the power of darkness.
Speaking of which, are all fallen angels like Julia and use dark power? When they were angels, they used holy light, but now they have transformed into another extreme power, but they do not seem to have any discomfort. How did they do it?
Roy had not seen the transformation process of fallen angels with his own eyes, so he had no way of knowing the specific situation for the time being. Although he was curious, he did not ask and only stared at Julia.
Hmm, speaking of which, after Julia's armor was blown up by the missile, it felt really strange …
So big and tempting …
