Let's call these strange undead skeletons alien undead for now.
There were quite a lot of alien undead. When the first batch of alien undead crawled out of the ground attacked Roy, more skeletons were still crawling out from further behind.
But after exchanging blows, Roy quickly discovered that these alien undead were actually not strong. Their strength was uneven, and the stronger ones could reach the level of high-rank demons, but the weaker ones were only about the same as low-rank little demons.
This difference in strength seemed to be mainly reflected in the age of their bones. The bones that looked relatively fresh were stronger, and the rotten and old ones were weaker. This made Roy realize that the magic power of these undead seemed to come from their corpses and bones.
This made Roy very puzzled. In his impression, the source of magic power for a creature with magic power should come from its own flesh and blood body. Just like Roy, his current source of magic power was his demon heart, so he had always believed that the flesh and blood body was the vessel that carried magic power. But why could these undead skeletons, which only had bones left, use their bones to preserve their original magic power?
Was it because these alien undead were special when they were alive, or was this characteristic bestowed by the Red Sea Egg?
Roy opened Ice Block and placed himself in an incomparably thick ice shield, allowing the large number of undead to attack him. He found that only the undead with the power of high-rank demons and those who knew how to use the power of holy light could cause some damage to him. The rest of the alien undead were not a threat. Even though there were many of them, many of them were old, and even if Roy did not attack, they might break their legs while moving …
Under the protection of Ice Block, Roy only needed to maintain his magic power output, which allowed him to observe the situation of these alien undead.
With this observation, Roy immediately discovered a situation. As these alien undead continuously used magic to attack him, their magic power gradually declined!
Roy finally understood. It seemed that the magic power of these alien undead could only be regarded as a phenomenon of magic power deposition. In other words, they might have had relatively powerful magic power when they were alive, but after death, this magic power only deposited in their corpses. It was a one-time thing. After losing their flesh and blood bodies, the magic power of the undead could not be replenished at all, and it would be gone once it was used up!
Roy originally thought that these guys guarding the Red Sea Egg would be stronger, so he made more cautious plans. But after seeing this situation, Roy finally felt relieved and immediately began to counterattack!
Black frost began to sweep across, and all the alien undead that approached Roy to attack immediately froze. They fell from the sky and fell into bone fragments. And the range of this cold aura continued to expand with Roy's magic power output …
He planned to end the battle quickly and deal with these alien undead as soon as possible before leaving with the Red Sea Egg. After all … things might change if he delayed.
… …
Let's go back a little. Just as Roy was trying to pull out the Red Sea Egg, a battle was taking place hundreds of kilometers away at the statues of the three councilors of the Charred Council.
Envy had returned, and her goal was very clear. As soon as she entered this space, she went straight to the statues.
After arriving here, she immediately attacked the statues of the councilors. All kinds of attacks bombarded the statues, causing the stones of the statues to fly everywhere and filling this area with her retaliatory laughter.
"Come out! You corrupters who only know how to hide in tombstones! " Envy held a long saber in one arm and slashed out a sword energy that bombarded a statue. The gun in her other arm kept firing bullets at another statue.
She knew very well that these three statues were actually stand-ins for the councilors of the Charred Council. These statues made of magic were connected to the true bodies of the councilors, and they could communicate with each other and observe images. The true bodies of the councilors were buried under these statues. That was where the councilors truly resided, so Envy called these statues' tombstones'!
In fact, during the tens of thousands of years that Envy had been imprisoned, she had never really seen the true bodies of the three councilors. She only knew that they were in the endless lava under these statues, but she could not determine their exact location, so she could only attack these statues first to force the councilors out.
Faced with Envy's curses and attacks, the councilors responded to her with several extremely large bursting fireballs. However, when the fireballs shot over, Envy dodged them with her agility and continued to attack them.
"Come out! You guys only know how to hide in the dark and spy on others! Don't think that I don't know what you're up to! " Envy roared as she attacked. "Not only did you use the name of the Creator to deceive everyone, but you also want to steal the authority of the Creator to become gods. Do you think you can hide such ambitions from everyone?!"
"Shut up!" The statue on the left angrily launched another fireball at Envy while roaring, "With the power of a mere demon lord, do you think you can do whatever you want here?!"
"So what? Even if I'm not strong enough, do you dare to show up? " Envy laughed. "Now, a large number of enemies have poured into the Charred Council. As long as I restrain you here, they can destroy this world!"
"You call those inferior undead and low-class demons enemies? What a joke! The army of the council will soon destroy them, and so will you … "the statue in the middle said angrily. But just as he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to notice something. A moment later, the statue in the middle suddenly roared," Damn it! Someone is actually targeting the Red Sea Egg?! Who is it?! "
The statue on the right said in a gloomy tone, "There's no need to ask. It must be Envy colluding with that pervert, Lilith, to steal the Red Sea Egg back!"
"Stop them! We must stop them!" the statue on the left roared.
Envy did not react at first, but after finally understanding, she could not help but laugh. She thought that the one who touched the Red Sea Egg was definitely Demon Osiris, who came in with her. His goal in entering here was probably the Red Sea Egg, but … the councilors of the Charred Council seemed to think that it was Lilith!
Therefore, Envy did not point out this first point. She only attacked the statues with all her might, acting as though she wanted to restrain them.
The three councilors were also very angry at this moment. Of course, they could not let Envy go, but they could not lose the Red Sea Egg, especially not fall into Lilith's hands again.
"We must stop them! But who should go now? "The statue on the left emitted a silent fluctuation and communicated with the other two.
"Let War go? He's the only Horseman of the Apocalypse here now! "the statue on the right said.
"No, if we let him go, it'll destroy our original plan unless we return his power to him!" the statue in the middle objected.
"Forget it. If it really doesn't work, I'll make a move!" the statue on the left said.
"…" The other two statues did not say anything, seemingly tacitly agreeing.
Thus, the ground suddenly began to shake, and the magma below the councilman's statue began to churn continuously. The platform that Envy was standing on was also trembling. At this moment, she was staring at the magma lake below in horror, and her heart was filled with shock.
Although her original goal was to force the councilors out and see who these fellows hiding behind the scenes were, she still felt terrified when the councilors were about to appear.
Although she was now a demon lord, she knew very well that this bit of power was probably not enough to deal with the councilors. To be able to suppress Heaven and Hell at the same time and make the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse work for them, the hidden power of the Charred Council would not be so weak.
As the magma churned, the tip of a wing appeared first and then slowly rose. Finally, a six-winged angel wrapped in wings appeared!
With a whoosh, this angel spread his enormous wings and revealed his figure in front of Envy.
"H-how can this be?!" Envy's voice trembled. She pointed at the six-winged angel and screamed in horror, "You … you're Raphael's incarnation?!"
