The moment this figure appeared, the holy light that filled the air almost made Roy think that a powerful angel had emerged from the spatial channel.
After emerging from the spatial channel, the other party slowly flew over. Only then did Roy see clearly that this guy was actually just a human!
Moreover, he was a very showy human …
He was wearing a golden half-mask, and there was a monocle at the eye position. This monocle was tied by a golden chain, and the other end was tied to his earlobe. His clothes were gorgeous, and the tail feathers on his collar were not phoenix feathers but peacock feathers. To be precise, it seemed to be peacock fur because a peacock's head and neck hung by his collarbone. In addition, there were equally long peacock feathers on both sides of his sleeves and at the lower hem of his clothes.
At first glance, he really looked like a peacock spreading its tail. How could he be so showy …
After flying close, he stopped in midair, and the peacock feathers behind him completely spread open. He raised his left hand, and a peacock feather appeared in his hand. He used this peacock feather to comb his meticulously groomed hair before slowly saying, "Mundus, I haven't heard from you for more than twenty years. I thought you were dead … But looking at you now, you seem no different from being dead …"
His tone was low and feminine, and his words were full of sarcasm.
"Shut up, Balder!" Mundus roared. "Don't talk to me in that condescending tone!"
"Okay. Respected Emperor of the Demon World, Eternal Sovereign, Holy Father of demons, Your Majesty Mundus, did you summon me here to ask me to save you?" Balder said slowly while flicking the peacock feather that he had just finished combing his hair, causing it to turn into fragments and scatter in all directions.
Roy listened to Balder's words and thought, Good heavens, he sounds like an old yin-yang!
"…" Mundus was probably trembling in anger and did not answer for a long time. After a while, he said, "Balder, don't forget the content of our cooperation. If I'm sealed again, your plan will also be over!"
"Okay!" Bader sighed, then turned to look at Sparda and said, "Dark Knight Sparda, it's an honor to see you again!"
Roy was stunned for a moment before asking Sparda in a low voice, "You know him?"
"… Yes!" Sparda also let out a long sigh and said, "This guy is the last Lumen Sage in the other world! I once mistakenly entered that world and even hunted angels with the Umbra Demoness of that world, so I met this guy once … "
Lumen Sage!? Umbra Witch!? Hunting angels!?
Roy's mind exploded, and he immediately reacted! The twin world that Sparda mentioned is actually the world of the Archangel Demonesses?!
No wonder Roy felt a vague sense of familiarity with the strange angel that came out of the spatial channel. Moreover, when Balder first appeared, Roy felt as though he had seen him somewhere before. It turned out that the world over there was actually the Witch World with strange angels …
This is really … Roy did not know what to say. He could only say that it was unexpected but reasonable.
Sparda was staring at Balder at this time, so he did not notice Roy's expression. He continued to explain to Roy in a low voice, "He's indeed a human, but he's a very special human. In the world over there, the Lumen Sages are the so-called 'light people'. They are born with affinity with holy light and are the humans most closely connected to Heaven. The Umbra Witches I just mentioned are also similar humans, but they're 'dark people'. The Witches are compatible with dark power, but they're connected to our Demon World …"
Roy nodded, indicating that he understood. But then he looked at Balder in puzzlement and then at Mundus's body under his feet. "Why is a Lumen Sage of the 'people of light' together with an emperor of the Demon World like Mundus?"
"I don't know, but … do you remember what I said about Mundus disappearing from the Demon World for a period of time?" Sparda said. "A long time ago, I had always suspected that he went to the twin world and thought that he had contacted the Witches there, so after returning, he obtained the ability to plunder the Ouroboros Mark … But now, it seems that my guess was wrong. When Mundus went to the other world, he didn't contact the Umbra Witches but the Lumen Sages …"
Balder was not angry that Sparda did not respond to him. Instead, he quietly listened to the conversation between Roy and Sparda. After Sparda said this, he nodded. "That's right. Many years ago, when His Majesty Mundus appeared on our side, I was the one who received him!"
"Aren't the Lumen Sages on the angel side?" Roy frowned. "Or are you a Fallen?"
"Fallen? This term is really unpleasant to hear! " Balder shook his head slightly. "Don't get me wrong. We're Lumen Sages, not angels. We borrow the power of angels, but it doesn't mean that we can't borrow the power of demons! Moreover, His Majesty Mundus and I are only cooperating with each other. We each take what we need. How can there be a Fallen? "
F * ck! Why does this sound so familiar? It felt similar to "How can a scholar's business be considered as stealing" …
After Balder finished speaking, he suddenly stared at Roy. "Demon lord, how should I address you?"
"My name is Osiris!" Roy stared at him. "What do you want?"
"Your Excellency Osiris?" Balder reached out to support his monocle. He spread his right hand in front of him, and a thick book emitting golden light suddenly appeared in his palm.
This golden book moved without any wind and began to flip its pages. A moment later, it stopped on one of the pages. Balder stared at the page for a while before nodding. "I see. You're indeed a famous lord. I already know about your achievements. No wonder His Majesty Mundus died in the hands of you and His Excellency Sparda. It's not an injustice …"
"Huh?" Roy looked at the book in Balder's hand in puzzlement. "What's that?"
"A projection of the Book of Truth, a little thing from Heaven. It's not worth mentioning!" Balder smiled and threw his hand, and the book immediately disappeared.
"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Sparda whispered to Roy. "That's indeed a projection of the Book of Truth, but it's definitely not a little thing. It's a book that Heaven uses to record the true names of extremely threatening demons. It includes the names of almost all demon lords and demon kings. In any of the Infinite Worlds where Heaven exists, you can obtain a projection of this Book of Truth and inquire about the powerful demons you encounter … Not only is your name on it, but mine is also on it!"
"My demon true name?!" Roy immediately became vigilant and clenched Frostmourne in his hand. "Can this book be destroyed?"
"There's no other way. Unless you can kill your way into the real Heaven, defeat Archangels like Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael, and destroy the original Book of Truth. Otherwise, even if you destroy the one in Balder's hand now, it won't be long before this book will be projected again …"
"It can be said that this Book of Truth is a divine artifact that all demons want to destroy, but it's the most powerless …" Sparda said expressionlessly. "Because it's said that it's a relic of the Creator left for Heaven …"
Hearing Sparda's words, Roy was stunned for a moment and could only give up on his idea.
F * ck, heartless! I can't afford to provoke you. Goodbye!
At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene became very strange. Because of the sudden intruder, Balder, the scene fell into a stalemate. Although Roy and Sparda did not know what the cooperation between Balder and Mundus was, it was definitely not a good thing. Although Balder was only a Lumen Sage, he was also very powerful. If he wanted to protect Mundus wholeheartedly, then as long as he held Roy and Sparda back for a short time, Mundus's soul would definitely be able to escape.
Thinking of this, Roy looked at Sparda with an inexplicable gaze, but the meaning was obvious. No matter what Balder wanted to do, the two of them had already fought Mundus to this point with great difficulty, and they absolutely could not let all their previous efforts go to waste. The only way now was for Roy to go forward and hold Balder back while Sparda sealed Mundus as soon as possible.
Sparda understood the meaning in Roy's eyes, nodded slightly, and gripped the demon sword in his hand.
However, just as the two of them were about to launch their attacks, a strange feeling suddenly flowed through their bodies!
The surrounding scenery seemed to have fallen into a kind of stagnation. Roy and Sparda's movements of raising their hands to swing their swords became incomparably slow at this moment, and all their senses seemed to have entered a state of time slowing down.
Time had really slowed down! Because then Roy and Sparda saw Balder land calmly, arrive beside Mundus's necrotic body, and extend his hand to him.
Then, an incomparably black ball of soul light emerged from Mundus's body. On this ball of soul light, a head that was extremely similar to Mundus's evolved, and the three large eyeballs on it were clearly visible.
Needless to say, this was Mundus's soul! After his soul left his body, it flew into Balder's hand, and a soul voice shouted, "Quick! Take me out of here! "
Roy and Sparda could only watch helplessly, unable to stop it at all. Because at this time, the two of them had only raised their arms by four to five centimeters …
After Balder held Mundus's soul in his hand, he flew up again and arrived at the spatial channel in midair. Only then did the time slowing effect on Roy and Sparda suddenly disappear!
The moment the effect disappeared, Roy and Sparda reacted quickly. They immediately spread their wings and flew toward Balder.
Balder's clean and smooth forehead was covered in sweat. It seemed that forcefully using his ability to slow down the time of the two demon lords had placed an immense burden on him. So when he saw the two of them rushing over, he did not dare to fight Roy and Sparda at all. After shooting out several peacock feathers, he turned around and entered the spatial channel!
"Damn it!" After Sparda swung his sword away the peacock feathers, he stopped at the entrance of the spatial channel and did not rashly chase after them. But he was extremely angry at Mundus and Balder's departure.
"What happened just now?" Roy stopped and looked at his hands in puzzlement.
"That's the special ability of the Lumen Sages: Sage Time!" Sparda explained. "Like the Umbra Witches, they can control time for a short and limited period. In fact, it's not that our time has been slowed down, but that their time has become faster, so we can't resist this effect …"
"Sage Time?" Roy could not help but have a strange expression when he heard this term.
I can also enter this state, and I'm very familiar with it! Every time I'm with Julia and Benia, I'll enter this state …
