After riding Fat Tiger out for a stroll, Roy and Julia did not feel anything, but the other high-rank demons near Black Brilliance City were shocked.
There was indeed no lack of enormous demons in the Abyss, but this was the first time they had seen such a huge hellhound. Generally speaking, most demons like hellhounds were at the middle-rank demon level, but the incomparably sturdy muscles all over Fat Tiger's body made every high-rank demon not dare to underestimate his strength.
Now, thanks to Fat Tiger, the high-rank demons around Black Brilliance City knew that Black Brilliance City had a new master. And this new demon not only had an enormous mutated hellhound, but he also had a high-rank fallen angel, making the nearby demons have a deep impression of Roy.
There were also a few high-rank demons like Benia who tried to use the projection pool to greet Roy. Roy did not reject them. After all, at the high-rank demon level, there were much fewer fights, and there were many more interactions between groups, exchanging information, and so on. This was extremely useful to Roy.
After the strengthening of Fat Tiger came to an end, it was Julia's turn.
In fact, during the three years he stayed in the Darksiders world, Roy had asked Julia about how fallen angels improved their strength.
Fallen angels were very interesting species. They were neither angels nor demons, and they could be regarded as a kind of intermediate state. Julia told Roy that pure angels evolved and promoted through practicing holy power, which was completely different from demons devouring souls to increase their strength. Although angels were also seeking souls, the souls they sought were noble souls with self-dedication and sacrifice. As long as these souls bathed in holy power, they could easily transform into holy souls. And with holy souls, it meant that new angels could be born.
Therefore, fallen angels in the middle like Julia formed a strange phenomenon. They could not devour souls like demons, but they could practice dark power like angels!
In the Abyss, the two most abundant elements were dark elements and fire elements. It was precisely because of these characteristics that the strength of fallen angels increased rather quickly. However, it was said that it might be because of the first fallen angel of the Abyss, Lucifer. As a fallen angel, he was an existence on par with the other Deadly Sin Demon Kings in the Abyss, causing the demons of the Abyss to be afraid of fallen angels. Therefore, later fallen angels were secretly restricted like Julia.
This was also why a second Lucifer had never appeared in the Abyss. Of course, it was also possible that Lucifer was already very powerful before he fell. He was originally a top seraph …
In the Darksiders world, Julia had told Roy that her strength had not increased much, and she did not know what was going on. But when she followed Roy back and finally went to see Samael, she did not know what Samael was thinking, but he actually removed this restriction for her. This way, it was equivalent to Julia being able to practice dark power again.
The two pairs of fallen angel wings on Julia's back had turned into black flames. This was the embodiment of the power created by the combination of dark power and the flames of recovery in her body. In fact, it was no longer appropriate to call her flames hellfire. The dark flame power she now controlled should be a very unique 'Abyssal Fire'!
The power of flames could actually be combined with many other powers. If combined with holy power, it would be holy flames! Combined with dark power, it would be hellfire! However, the strange thing about Julia's flames was that they had the characteristics of almost all three powers. The flames were black, which was a characteristic of combining with dark power, but they also had the recovery characteristics of holy power. Not only could they heal physical injuries, but they could even repair damaged armor. It was inconceivable.
Roy could not help but recall Samael's last words. He told Julia to return to her original world if she had the chance.
Could it be that there's something special about Julia's identity?
Roy guessed, and then he was thinking of ways to see if he could help Julia get a better upgrade.
At this time, he could see the benefits of communicating with other high-rank demons. About five hundred kilometers east of Black Brilliance City, there was a demon city called 'Broken Blade', and its owner was a high-rank demon named Cesc. Cesc was also an elemental demon, but he was an elemental demon who used dark power and was very good at cursing magic. Before Roy occupied Black Brilliance City, he had been exchanging resources with the original owner, Delt, because the demon obsidian produced near Black Brilliance City contained powerful dark elements.
After Roy chased Delt away, Cesc could only trade with Roy. After paying a lot of demon obsidian, Roy successfully exchanged for the method to make the Well of Darkness from Cesc.
The so-called Well of Darkness was actually a method to condense the ubiquitous dark elements of the Abyss. It happened to require a lot of demon obsidian and a small amount of other ores.
According to Cesc's method, Roy found a place in Black Brilliance City and commanded the demon puppets to dig a circular shallow pit about sixty-six centimeters deep. He piled it up with demon obsidian, and then around the edge of the shallow pit, he drew a special magic formation and engraved demon characters with a mixture of several other special ores.
After the magic formation was completed, he injected magic power to activate it. Roy found that dark elements gradually began to gather like a thick fog at the bottom of the shallow pit. These dark elements, which were as dense as ink, turned into an ink-like liquid after touching the demon obsidian and finally gathered in the shallow pit.
About a few hours later, this sixty-six-centimeter-deep pit was almost filled with these liquid-like dark elements!
And this was the so-called Well of Darkness!
As soon as Julia saw the Well of Darkness, she immediately felt the powerful dark power within it. This method of using a magic formation to restrain dark elements within a fixed range was something she had never thought of before …
Under Roy's instructions, Julia took off her armor, lay down in the Well of Darkness, and began to 'bathe'! Although the black liquid was not water droplets at all but the product of highly concentrated dark elements, for a fallen angel like Julia who controlled dark power, this Well of Darkness was too great, so much so that when she lay down, she was groaning in comfort.
"Just stay here and practice!" Roy said to her. "I have to say, you're really lucky. You didn't choose other demon cities but chose Black Brilliance City. If it weren't for this place, I might not have been able to find so many demon obsidian to build this Well of Darkness …"
"Hmph!" Julia felt that it was just right and could not help but say proudly, "That's because I sensed the rich dark power here, okay!"
Roy really could not refute this. Perhaps this was also the instinct of fallen angels.
Fortunately, Julia quickly fell asleep in the Well of Darkness. Roy knew that she might have to sleep here for a while to absorb these dark elements, so he quietly left.
After returning to the city lord's hall, Roy sat down on his Frozen Throne, found the demon puppet Cagruz, and asked him to urge the other demon puppets to speed up the mining of demon obsidian. Although Cagruz looked very ugly, he was still capable of doing things, and he quickly obeyed the order.
Now, Julia had entered hibernation, and Fat Tiger had been chased out because he was too big. Roy was the only one left in the castellan hall. Only then did Roy calm down and remember something.
When Roy fused with Uriel's soul with the Fusion technique, he found that there was a very short memory in the deepest part of her soul. This memory could not be erased during the Fall Transformation. Of course, Roy was very curious, but he did not have the time to look at it carefully at that time. After returning to the Abyss, he had been busy until now and almost forgot about it …
