Mundus was not stupid. After hearing Roy's words, he instantly understood that this unfamiliar demon lord in front of him was here to cause trouble for him.
He knew very well that as Sparda's seal weakened, many demons would enter here from the Abyss one after another. And because of the misleading information he had set up, the Ouroboros Marks obtained by these Abyss demons would eventually be transferred to his soul and continuously strengthen the power of his mark.
This powerful mark power was the foundation of his immortal soul, but as a result, these new Abyss demons would lose their protection.
Mundus could hide from the other demons of the Demon World, but Sparda was one of the insiders. Since this unfamiliar demon lord in front of him was together with Sparda, it meant that he also knew about this matter and was looking for trouble with him to take back the mark.
But how could he spit out what he had obtained? Mundus just happened to have defeated the Sparda family in one fell swoop and was in high spirits. How could he take Roy, a demon lord, seriously?
"Go to hell! Despicable sneak attacker! " Mundus roared arrogantly. Dozens of claws on his body shot out light rays and gathered them together to form an even more powerful light wave that shot at Roy.
Roy spread his wings and flew up to dodge the light wave impact. Mundus also began to move the light wave along Roy's flight trajectory, continuously chasing after him, wanting to knock him down.
However, because his attention was focused on Roy, he did not notice a figure flying down from behind.
Junia swooped down from the sky. When she arrived above Mundus, she threw out the demon sword burning with dark golden flames and stabbed it into Mundus's body.
Boom! As soon as the sword stabbed into Mundus's body, the fierce flames immediately spread across his entire body.
Mundus let out a scream, and the light wave impact stopped abruptly as he twisted his body desperately in the flames.
"Bastard, what damn flame is this?!" If Mundus had a face, his expression might have been distorted by the heat. Although he knew how to use flame power and was not weak, he had never seen this kind of dark golden flame before. Not only did it have an extremely high temperature, but it directly broke through his resistance to flame power and caused tremendous damage to his body. Moreover, it even burned a lot of his magic power in this short period of time!
That's right. In addition to inheriting the ultra-high temperature characteristic of Julia's destruction flames, Junia's dark golden flames also had a special 'magic ignition' effect. During the continuous burning process, it would quickly 'dry' the enemy's magic power!
Mundus's claws waved desperately all over his body, wanting to extinguish the burning flames on his body. This action was only his subconscious reaction, but it was actually useless. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and immediately grabbed Junia's demon sword and pulled it out of his body.
The flames on his body were finally extinguished after he flung the demon sword that was the culprit behind all of this.
But after this bout of burning, more than half of the densely packed claws on his body were burned into charred ashes. As soon as he moved, they turned into powder and fell down.
"Ah!!!" Mundus let out an angry roar, and his voice was so loud that the entire Demon World could hear it. The three eyeballs on his head were filled with hideous bloodshot as he stared fixedly at Junia, who had just retrieved the demon sword.
A bolt of lightning flashed in the three eyeballs. The next second, intense light pierced through the dark sky of the Demon World, and a red bolt of lightning more than a hundred meters wide descended from the sky toward Junia!
The lightning strike was so powerful and fast that Junia couldn't dodge it at all. She was about to be struck.
But at this moment, Roy suddenly flashed and appeared above Junia's head. He spread his arms and demon wings and hugged this enormous bolt of lightning!
The sizzling lightning danced in the sky like giant snakes. Junia looked up at Roy's tall figure in surprise and saw him blocking the lightning with a ferocious expression and trying to gather it together.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be unable to do this at all. But Roy was also an expert in playing with lightning. Powerful magic power gathered in his palms and gradually seized Mundus's control over the lightning. The lightning snakes scurrying around in the sky gradually gathered as though they were tamed.
Roy slowly closed his arms and gathered this powerful lightning into a gigantic lightning ball. Then he turned around in the air and kicked the lightning ball with his right foot at Mundus.
"I'll return it to you!"
Mundus did not expect that Roy would return his attack in such a manner. Before he could react, the lightning ball hit him.
There was a loud sizzle, and from afar, an intense flash like a nuclear explosion erupted on the horizon. It was the scene produced when the powerful energy contained in the lightning ball was released in an instant. The lightning created the Tyndall effect, creating a bright straight path from the left and right, bursting out for several kilometers.
After the Tyndal effect of the light slowly dissipated, the surrounding environment returned to darkness.
Mundus's body had already become a charred black object exuding the disgusting smell of barbecued meat …
Roy landed beside Junia, and she heaved a sigh of relief. "That was close. This guy suddenly erupted. Does he want to kill me instantly?"
Looking at the half-black fallen angel wings on Junia's back, Roy said, "I'm afraid this guy saw your wings … He seems to be very sensitive about the identity of angels."
"Really?" Junia was stunned when she heard this. "Didn't he make his statue look like an angel?"
"Is that because he probably only allows himself to become an angel?" Roy looked at Mundus's charred body with a strange expression and patted Junia. "Don't attack anymore. Your time is almost up. In order to prevent accidents from suddenly dispelling your fusion state in the battle, you should retreat to the side first."
With that, a few bottles of red potions suddenly appeared in Roy's hand. He said to Junia, "Take these recovery potions and wake Sparda and the others up."
"Okay, be careful!" Junia nodded. "Mundus's magic power pressure hasn't decreased. It seems like he'll be able to recover soon."
Junia turned around and left. Roy walked forward, came in front of Mundus, and looked at his charred body.
He could sense that under this charred shell, Mundus's body was constantly regenerating. This was not surprising. For any demon lord, this powerful self-healing ability was the foundation to ensure the immortal body.
Of course, just like when he destroyed Kha-Beleth, Roy actually had a way to destroy this immortal body. He only needed to use the Black Domain of Silence once. But what really gave Roy a headache was how to deal with Mundus's soul.
Sparda had said that Mundus's soul was immortal. This was the power brought to him by the overlapping of countless Ouroboros Marks. In other words, this time, Roy could not devour Mundus's soul like he did Kha-Beleth's! Even if he obtained Mundus's soul and swallowed it, not only would he not be able to digest this soul, but it might even cause Mundus and Roy to fight for control of the body!
And if he ignored Mundus's soul, this guy could resurrect in the blink of an eye by possessing a body …
This was the most troublesome thing about a demon king-level immortal soul. In the entire Abyss, it seemed that no demon king had truly died. Facing such troublesome opponents, their enemies could often only suppress them by sealing them.
But if he sealed Mundus's soul, Roy would not be able to take back everyone's marks …
I have to find a way to separate the Ouroboros Marks in his soul first … Roy thought. This might be possible through some tool created by the system, but there are at least hundreds of millions of Ouroboros Marks in this guy's soul. How can I find my marks and the marks of Julia and the others among so many marks?
Just as Roy was thinking this, cracking sounds came from Mundus's charred body. Several cracks appeared on the charred and fragile body, and new claws pried open these cracks and drilled out, giving off the feeling that Mundus had completed his molting.
"Hahaha, I told you, you can't kill me!" Mundus's voice came with arrogant laughter. "As long as my soul is in this body, even if my body is destroyed countless times, I can recover again! What about you? How much magic power do you have to exhaust me? "
Hearing this, Roy could not help but grin sinisterly. "Don't be too absolute …"
