Roy's prediction was right. He could indeed withstand the explosive power of this small-yield tactical nuclear bomb.
Compared to other elemental magic, ice elements could form a substantial physical protective structure to resist the shock waves. At the same time, because of the low-temperature effect of ice elements, it could also resist the high temperatures produced during the explosion. This was an advantage that other elemental magic could not compare to.
As for the most lethal radiation of the nuclear bomb, Roy's Desolate Virus absorbed it during the explosion. Moreover, after absorbing this radiation, Roy could clearly feel that the Desolate Virus had become stronger!
In other words, when using these tactical nuclear bombs against enemies, not only could they cause tremendous damage to the enemies, but they would also strengthen Roy himself.
The only pity was that Roy only obtained twelve tactical nuclear bombs this time. If he wanted more, he would have to go to other cities to search for similar nuclear bunkers.
Julia had listened to Roy's instructions and hid far away, but after the explosion, she immediately rushed over. When she saw that half of the city had been razed to the ground, she was very surprised.
Of course, she recognized that this explosion seemed to be the kind of attack that the humans had used to counterattack, but the power Roy used this time was much smaller. At first, Julia did not know what the human weapons Roy had taken were, but now she knew …
And what surprised her was that Roy actually knew how to use these human weapons!
After landing, Julia asked Roy curiously, "How did you do it?"
"I used a special method …" Roy tossed the Talisman of Sin in his hand. "How is it? Human weapons are pretty powerful, right? "
"Do you plan to use these weapons to deal with the other Seven Deadly Sins?" Julia asked.
"Of course. The greatest advantage of these human weapons is that they don't need to consume any of my magic power!" Roy nodded. "In fact, I don't even need to show up. As long as I find the location of the other Seven Deadly Sins, I can send a few low-level demons with these weapons and directly detonate them after finding the Seven Deadly Sins. If one isn't enough, then two or three!"
The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt. He thought that Julia would praise his idea, but unexpectedly, Julia suddenly said with a serious expression, "You mean that even low-rank demons can use these powerful weapons?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Roy looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she had such an expression.
"Osiris, you'd better not use this kind of human weapon in the future!" Julia persuaded, "Have you ever thought about what will happen if this human weapon that can be used by low-level demons and can kill high-level demons spreads in the Demon World?"
Roy was stunned and immediately understood what Julia meant.
In Roy's opinion, these powerful weapons were convenient and useful, but in the eyes of other demons, it was not necessarily so. Just as Julia had said, this was something that could allow low-level demons to challenge high-level demons.
The existence of such a thing was a provocation to the strict hierarchy of the Demon World …
Just think about it. If Roy found enough and powerful nuclear bombs, would he be able to kill a demon lord? High-rank demons killing demon lords was simply a joke in the Abyss, but with these human weapons, it might be different.
Julia was also doing this for Roy's own good. She was worried that Roy would use these human weapons frequently and let other high-level demons see through them. In that case, some demon lords might target him and even kill him personally to maintain the hierarchy …
"Don't worry. I understand." After reacting, Roy nodded. "I won't give these weapons to low-level demons …"
As long as other demons did not notice the characteristic that human weapons could be used by anyone …
After hearing Roy's words, Julia smiled and hugged Roy's tail from behind. Her entire body stuck to Roy's tail. "Let's go. We'll continue to look for the other Seven Deadly Sins, but I want you to fly with me!"
Roy smiled and did not say anything. He spread his wings and soared into the sky with Julia …
… …
Time passed slowly, and soon, a week had passed.
During this week, after Greed and Gluttony, two more souls of the Seven Deadly Sins fell into Roy's hands. These two souls were Sloth and Lust.
In addition to relying on Roy's Demon Eyes, he also had the help of Vulgrim to find these two Seven Deadly Sins. This soul trader provided Roy with information about Sloth's location. It was a place that Roy's Demon Eyes could not find, so Roy paid hundreds of souls for it.
In order to track down the traces of these Seven Deadly Sins, Roy and Julia went to several cities and saw many battles between angels and demons along the way. But it was undeniable that the demons had completely suppressed the angels, and their numbers were becoming fewer and fewer.
And because the demons were now dominant, the cities that Roy and Julia passed through were basically filled with demons. They wandered through the ruins of every city and searched for every soul they could find.
The number of souls that Roy could collect through the Soul Attracting Flag was becoming fewer and fewer. It could not be helped. Although a large number of souls would appear in such an End War, the number of demons dividing souls was also equally large. After the first harvest period, he could only rely on time to accumulate.
This was also why Roy was doing his best to complete the mission that Fury had entrusted him with. As long as Fury could keep her promise, Roy could obtain an enormous number of souls from her, far better than Roy's painstaking efforts to collect.
Now, the Talisman of Sin already contained the souls of five of the Seven Deadly Sins (Envy only had a portion of its soul fragments), and Roy only needed Pride and Wrath to complete the mission.
However, after killing Sloth of the Seven Deadly Sins and taking in his soul, Roy noticed something strange.
To the north of the city where Sloth was, he could faintly see some enormous objects floating in the sky.
Even standing on the ground, Roy and Julia could see them from afar. These enormous objects floated in the air in a motionless state, and they seemed to have a faint tendency to gather together.
"What's that thing?" Roy asked doubtfully.
Julia observed for a while. "I'm not sure. It seems to be some … platforms?"
"Platforms?" Roy tried his best to look into the distance. Then he found that in his Radiation Perception, there were some tiny radiation sources near these enormous floating objects. But because they were too far away, the radiation sources only appeared as spots of light. These radiation sources kept flying around these floating objects without any pattern.
They should be some kind of flying creature, but he did not know if they were angels or demons.
"Do you want to take a look?" Julia asked Roy.
Roy was about to agree when a voice suddenly came from behind. "I advise you not to go!"
Roy suddenly turned around. In his previous perception, there was no one around. He thought that Vulgrim had run out of the Purgatory Space again, but the voice did not sound like it.
Turning around, Roy and Julia saw a magic formation burning with bright flames appear on the ground. In the center of the magic formation was a dark vortex. As the magic formation slowly rotated, a tall figure emerged from the vortex.
This tall figure held a huge staff with both hands, had a hunched body, and was carrying a huge coffin on his back.
When she saw this figure, Julia was clearly shocked and hurriedly bowed. "Lord of the Hollows! Fallen Angel Julia sends her greetings to you … "
That's right. The figure that appeared from the magic formation was the Lord of the Hollows, who had pulled Ulthane out of the ice.
Roy noticed that this person whom Julia called the Lord of the Hollows was actually a demon. He was taller than Roy, but because he did not stand up straight, Roy was only a head shorter than him.
Roy rolled his eyes, and like Julia, he hammered his chest to pay his respects to the Lord of the Hollows.
However, the Lord of the Hollows waved his hand. "There's no need to be so polite. I'm just a demon who has left the Abyss. You don't have to follow the rules of the Abyss to me …"
Julia had been in this world for much longer than Roy, so she knew some famous figures in this world. But Roy was a little confused. He could not figure out the origin of this demon known as the Lord of the Hollows.
However … the immense aura of the other party could not be faked. This Lord of the Hollows was at least a powerful lord-level demon! That was why Roy bowed with Julia.
Despite bowing, Roy did not say a word. He thought that the Lord of the Hollows was here to find Julia.
However, what he did not expect was that the Lord of the Hollows then looked at Roy and said in a deep voice, "Demon Osiris, you should be a demon who just came from the Abyss, right?"
He's actually here to find me?! Moreover, he even knows my name?!
What does this mean? It means that this demon lord has long been observing me in secret! Roy's mind raced, but he nodded calmly. "Yes!"
"Then, do you know that the mission of hunting down the Seven Deadly Sins should have been the mission that the Charred Council gave to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Fury …" The Lord of the Hollows looked straight at Roy with his slightly golden scarlet eyes. "Although Fury is only a pawn deceived by the Charred Council and manipulated at will, your actions have undoubtedly disrupted the Charred Council's plan. Aren't you afraid of the anger of the Charred Council?"
