In the past three years, the Mad Queen Lilith did not say anything about Roy and Julia slacking off and not completing the mission. She did not send anyone to supervise them, nor did she appear, as though she had completely forgotten about them. On the contrary, the Lord of the Hollows was a little anxious. He had appeared again and asked Roy why he had not killed Abraxis.
Facing the Lord of the Hollows, Roy was extremely respectful, but he did not mention it. He laughed and evaded the topic. In the end, the Lord of the Hollows forced him into a hurry and simply said that he could not do it!
He was just a high-rank demon. No, with Julia, there were two. Even though Roy, a frost demon, had shown stronger combat strength than ordinary high-rank demons, he was still far from assassinating a demon lord. No matter how the Lord of the Hollows tricked him and what tempting rewards he took out, Roy's mind was still very clear and he would not be fooled at all.
Roy had said that unless the Lord of the Hollows could fulfill his promise in advance and give him the strength to rival a demon lord, he would never provoke Abraxis now.
Although he did not know what was going on between the Lord of the Hollows and Abraxis, Roy's attitude was very clear. Don't think about using me as a gun. I'm not a hot-blooded fool. Either you fulfill your promise in advance and give me power, or you wait until I have the ability to kill Abraxis. I didn't say that I wouldn't help you, but it's hard to say when. Anyway, demons are long-lived creatures, and eighty to a hundred years is like a game …
Facing this situation, the Lord of the Hollows was very helpless. After leaving the Abyss for too long, this ancient demon's thinking had become a little stiff. For the angels and demons who came to seek liberation, he had to first ask if they were willing before taking away their souls. In the face of Roy's delaying tactics, he had no way to deal with this behavior, so he could only sigh and return to his Hollows Space.
Julia was originally a little worried that Roy's uncooperative attitude would anger the Lord of the Hollows, but Roy reassured her because he could already tell that this old demon would not do anything to him.
After the start of the End War, it could be said that the Three Realms had been stirred up. In this complicated situation, all sorts of monsters had jumped out. The Lord of the Hollows must have some special purpose to find him. As one of the former councilors of the Charred Council, even if he began to age and his magic power began to decline, he should still be able to defeat Abraxis, right? But he did not attack and instead came to find him. If this was not ulterior motives, what was it?
In fact, Roy was even guessing that the Lord of the Hollows saw Julia by his side and thought that he was Samael's subordinate, so he was trying to instigate him to kill the Destroyer's subordinate to deepen the hostility between Samael and the Destroyer.
When he could not guess the other party's true purpose, Roy's best solution was to not do anything, lest he fall into a situation where he could not get out …
Fortunately, after meeting him, the Lord of the Hollows probably realized that he was too anxious and aroused Roy's suspicions, so he did not appear in front of Roy for the next two years.
Just like that, in the following time, Roy and Julia stayed in their territory every day, and what they did the most was to fool around. Roy felt that Julia really seemed to want to have a child with him. It seemed that Roy's pursuit of the secrets of the nephilim had given her a lot of inspiration, making her firmly believe that even though the two of them were different races, there was still the possibility of having offspring. So during this period of time, Julia's most enthusiastic thing every day was to find ways to squeeze Roy dry …
Roy was both happy and pained about this. He felt that the fallen angel was now beginning to move closer to the succubus. There were more and more tricks, but his nutrition seemed to be unable to keep up …
After three years of tireless collection, Roy had collected more than two hundred thousand standard units of souls from low-level demons. Most of them were the animal spirits of mutated demonic creatures, mixed with a small number of human souls.
Just when Roy thought that he would be able to collect millions of animal spirits if he continued like this, the person he had been waiting for finally appeared.
It was a starless night. In fact, three years had passed, but the radioactive clouds that enveloped Earth had still not completely dissipated. There was still no moonlight on this planet at night. Similarly, the sun could not be seen during the day, and only a dim yellow spot of light hung in the sky. This weather was very convenient for demons to move around.
Roy and Julia's residence was in a castle built by low-level demons. The castle was not large, and at night, it was brightly lit because the walls were covered with burning torches.
In the bedroom, there was a huge stone bed. Julia was already sleeping soundly on it, and Roy was hugging her. His eyes were also closed, as though he had fallen into a deep sleep.
The torches burned and emitted light explosions from time to time. The oil from the mutated demonic creatures was used as fuel, so it would be like this when it burned. The flames swayed and reflected on the surrounding walls, bringing swaying light and shadows.
A black shadow quietly sneaked into Roy's bedroom. This black shadow carefully hid in the shadows of the flames and slowly approached Roy and Julia.
Closer and closer. Under the shadow of the bed, the black shadow stood by the bed. It stretched out its hand and slowly touched Roy …
However, at this moment, the black shadow's movements suddenly stopped!
A sharp triangular tail tip appeared in front of it, emitting a strong cold aura. The three-petaled blade on the tip of the tail slightly opened and closed like an eyeball, staring at the black shadow, making it not dare to act rashly.
A pair of dark red eyes with a reverse pentagram pattern opened, so conspicuous and bright in the darkness. Roy slowly sat up from the stone bed, placed his elbows on his knees, and looked mockingly at the black shadow beside the bed intimidated by his tail.
"Watcher … No, I should call you Envy … You're finally back. What about Fury, who's being watched by you?"
Roy whispered. Behind him, Julia sat up vigilantly, reached out to grab the fallen angel sword beside the bed, and stared at the black shadow unhappily.
That's right. Although the entire bedroom was very dim, Roy could see clearly with his dark vision as a demon. Who else could it be if not the watcher appeared next to his bed …
"Mistress is asleep, I snuck in!" The watcher said in a low voice.
"Hmph, you came here secretly?" Julia snorted coldly. "Then, do you still need to come here secretly? Or did you sneak to our bed and want to do something? "
"Don't misunderstand. I don't want to be an assassin, nor do I want to be a third party!" The watcher chuckled, but he still did not dare to move. "I'm just here to confirm. Demon Osiris, what are your intentions …"
"Oh? What intentions do I have? "Roy said casually, but his tail kept pointing at the watcher and did not retract it.
The watcher spread his hands. "That's boring. You noticed my identity back then, but you didn't expose me. From that time on, I knew that you, Demon Osiris, must have some other purpose. Now that I've sneaked out and stood in front of you again, let's say it. Maybe … we can become friends …"
Roy did not follow up on her words. Instead, he suddenly asked, "Did you appear here to ensure that no one knows?"
"No!" The watcher said. "Mistress trusts me very much. After all, I've been running around with her during this period of time and tried my best to hide it for her from the Charred Council. Moreover, I'm a watcher, and I'm also deeply trusted by the Charred Council …"
"Really! That's good! "Roy nodded and took out the Talisman of Sin from the system space.
"Aha!!" The watcher was a little excited when she saw the Talisman of Sin and reached out to take it.
However, Roy suddenly pinched the talisman and retracted it, looking at her teasingly.
The watcher also realized that he had lost his composure. He pretended to cough and said, "It seems that a lot of time has passed in the human world during the time when the mistress and I were away. You've actually caught all the Seven Deadly Sins!"
"I'm missing you now!" Roy smiled and looked at the Talisman of Sin over and over again. "Tell me, should I kill you, put you into the talisman, and return it to Fury, or …"
At the end of his sentence, Roy lengthened his tone and looked at the watcher meaningfully.
"Of course it's for me!" The watcher hurriedly said. "As long as I can gather all of the Seven Deadly Sins, I can have unparalleled power. At that time, I can give you whatever you want!"
"Don't be in such a hurry!" Roy said. "First of all, I have to know what you plan to do after obtaining this power."
"Is there a need to ask?" the watcher said angrily. "Of course, it's to destroy the Charred Council! Those despicable and shameless degenerates imprisoned me for tens of thousands of years. When my brothers and sisters and I escaped, we swore that we would make them pay the price one day! "
"So, you want to kill your way back to the Charred Council?" Roy confirmed again.
"That's right!" The watcher nodded. "Don't worry about me dealing with you. In fact, I'm very grateful to you for gathering the Seven Deadly Sins. After all, I can't bear to personally take away the power of my brothers and sisters! If you're still worried, I can sign a contract with you! "
"Very good. Then we can reach a consensus on our first step!" Roy finally retracted his tail and smiled. "I can give you the Talisman of Sin, but in exchange, I want you to help me open a spatial channel to the Charred Council! You escaped from there, so I believe it's not difficult for you, right? "
