Roy and Julia did not have to wait long.
Envy came as expected. But when she appeared this time, her appearance had changed drastically. She was no longer disguised as a watcher. Instead, she was an ugly green-skinned, multi-armed monster!
At this moment, she had six arms, and these arms were holding different weapons. There were sabers, guns, staffs, longswords, and so on. If one looked carefully, they would find that these weapons were actually the weapons of the other Seven Deadly Sins that Roy had killed.
Her appearance had changed, and similarly, Envy's power had also changed tremendously. At least when she appeared in front of Roy and Julia, the magic power pressure she emitted made Roy and Julia feel very uncomfortable.
For her to become like this, it was obvious that she had tricked Fury. Otherwise, how could she have taken back the Talisman of Sin from Fury?
After gathering the power of all the Seven Deadly Sins, has this guy really reached the strength of a demon lord? Roy thought.
When they met again, Envy laughed wildly the moment she saw Roy. She raised an arm holding a gun, pointed the muzzle at Roy, and said hatefully, "Damn demon, do you still remember how you treated me?"
"What do you want to do?!" Julia immediately unsheathed her sword, and black flames burned all over her body as she stared at Envy, unwilling to be outdone.
But at this moment, Roy gently pushed her away, signaling her not to be nervous. Then he looked at Envy with a teasing smile. "Why? Your strength suddenly skyrocketed, so you want to get back at me?"
How could Roy not understand this kind of arrogant mentality? From the beginning, he had expected this to happen.
"Put away that damn smile of yours!" Jealousy continued to point her gun at Roy and roared at him, "When you pinched my head like a dog, I didn't do anything to you! Have you ever thought that there would be such a day?! Demon, I'm back now, and my strength can easily pinch you to death! "
"Then shoot!" Roy did not panic at all. "Eject it, and then let's fight. Let's have a good fight!"
With Roy's words, cracking sounds came from near the castle. These sounds connected into one, as though millions of rats were gnawing. Then a large number of skeletons and zombies appeared. They held broken weapons in their hands, and their empty eyes stared intently at Envy.
Seeing so many undead appear, Envy was a little surprised, but then she laughed. "Do you think these rotten bones can stop me from killing you?"
"No, but they can help me stop you. As long as they stop you for a few seconds, I'll have a way to make both of us suffer!" Roy stretched out his hand and placed it on Julia's shoulder. "Even if you're so powerful now, don't look at me. As long as I can severely injure you once, then I can watch you return to the Charred Council to die!"
Even though he said this, he did not reveal the slightest flaw on his face. But in fact, Roy had already made up his mind. If Envy really dared to turn hostile and start a fight, then he would take Julia and use Teleport to leave first. As for the method of making both sides suffer, it was just a bluff. Roy was not stupid enough to fight head-on with a lord-level fellow.
However, Roy's words stabbed Envy's sore spot. The reason why she deliberately disguised herself as a watcher and lurked beside Fury was to seize the power of the other Seven Deadly Sins and return to the Charred Council to take revenge. If she really fought with this demon Roy here and both sides suffered, then the subsequent revenge would be delayed for a long time.
Thinking of this, Envy suppressed her anger and planned to let Roy go first. She thought, Anyway, this guy is just a high-rank demon. After I complete my revenge, I can turn around and kill him at any time. Moreover, this guy has created so many undead. It seems like he really wants to go to the Charred Council and cause trouble, which is good for my revenge plan.
Thinking of this, Envy put down the muzzle and raised her chin. "Okay, I'll let you go this time. After entering the Charred Council, you'd better stay as far away from me as possible. Otherwise, pray that I won't kill you while fighting!"
Roy grinned but did not say anything. He only stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture.
Both sides were on guard against each other, but because they had more important things to do, they still followed the original plan and let Envy open the spatial channel to the Charred Council.
Although Envy's body was no longer that of a watcher, she had not actually changed the target of her possession. This body was still the original body of a watcher, but after her strength increased, Envy had reshaped this body and made it more suitable for combat. Standing on the spot, Envy's magic power surged. Her hands glowed as she stretched out in front of her. Then as though she had grabbed something in the air, she suddenly pulled her hands apart.
With a buzz, a pitch-black rift appeared out of thin air. Envy's hands gradually pulled it apart and expanded until it finally formed a circular spatial door.
"The space where the Charred Council is has been modified. You don't need to go to a specific place to enter this space, and you only need the key to enter directly. The council originally only sent the army and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse for them, but now it's for us!" After opening the spatial channel, Envy took two steps back and said to Roy with a cold expression, "You can enter now. Let your rotten bones go in first!"
Roy did not waste any time. With a wave of his hand, the undead summoned by the liches filed in through the spatial channel and rushed in first. When the undead army was halfway in, Roy signaled for Envy to enter.
Envy snorted coldly and did not say anything before entering the spatial gate.
Roy did not follow closely but commanded the undead and low-level demons to continue entering.
Julia took advantage of this moment to whisper to Roy, "We don't know how big the alternate space where the Charred Council is, and we don't know where the Red Sea Egg is. After you enter, it might take a long time to find it, so try to be careful!"
Roy nodded. He could actually ask Envy about the situation inside first, but seeing how successful she was now, Roy could not be bothered to ask. Moreover, he did not intend to let Envy know what he was looking for in there. This fellow's thoughts were too complicated, and she might ruin his plans, so he absolutely could not let her know.
Julia would not follow Roy in and would stay outside to wait for him. Roy did not know when the spatial channel would close, so he left a backup plan. He left teleportation coordinates on Julia, just like he had left on Fat Tiger. Once anything went wrong, Roy could use Teleport to teleport back to Julia's side. This way, Roy could leave the alternate space without needing a spatial channel and avoid the worst-case scenario of being caught like a turtle in a jar.
Roy was the last to enter. After entering, the liches and low-level demons spread out according to Roy's instructions, causing chaos everywhere in the Charred Council Space to attract the attention of the other party.
After passing through the dark spatial gate, what Roy saw was a world full of flames!
He did not expect that the space where the Charred Council was located would be so similar to the Abyss. The air here was filled with the smell of smoke and sulfur, making him feel comfortable all over.
Because he was the last to enter, Envy, the undead, and low-level demons were no longer near the spatial gate. Roy could not find their shadows in the surroundings, but he could vaguely hear all kinds of explosions and roars coming from afar.
The Charred Council was indeed in chaos at this moment. The sudden betrayal of Envy, the lurker, was something the council had never expected. There were so many undead and demons pouring into this space, and they spread out to cause destruction everywhere, making the council feel overwhelmed. Their reaction was not slow, and they quickly sent the council's army to suppress them.
But with these undead and demons attracting attention, not only was Roy able to act, but Envy was not stopped at all. From the beginning, she went straight to the graves where the three councilors were!
Yes, graves. Roy did not know what kind of mysticism the three councilors of the Charred Council wanted to play, but they had created three flame statues for themselves as their representatives. Even when communicating with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, they used these statues to communicate. Roy did not know where their bodies were hidden.
Roy knew that it would not be long before Envy started fighting with the councilors, but he did not know how much time Envy could buy, so he had to speed up.
"Go!" Roy stretched out his hand and waved it in the air. Immediately, a large group of bat-like Demon Eyes flapped their wings and flew in all directions. During the flight, they gradually entered stealth.
Without too much information about the Charred Council Space, Roy could only rely on himself to find it. After the Demon Eyes scattered, Roy found a direction and flew forward.
However, before he could go far, a scene suddenly came from a Demon Eye. After being stunned for a moment, Roy braked in the air and turned to fly to the other side.
Not long after, Roy arrived in a canyon. In this canyon, there was an enormous magma river flowing. At the mountainside, Roy saw something from the Demon Eye.
It was a figure with his hands hung up. At this moment, he was kneeling on the ground motionlessly. A dark red hood covered his head, making it impossible to see his face clearly. But the ferocious skeleton heavy armor he was wearing revealed his identity.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse! He was actually imprisoned here by the Charred Council?!
