“Oh, no, no, Your Highness Lord of the Hollows!” Roy bowed a little. “I think you must have misunderstood. The mission to capture the Seven Deadly Sins was forced upon me by Horseman Fury and it was not me who deliberately caused the problem. You must have heard of Fury's temperament and personality, right? How could a high-level demon like me dare to reject the Horseman of the Apocalypse? “
Roy lowered his head, but at this moment, his eyes shone with an actual demonic cunning.
Roy wasn't quite sure what the Lord of the Hollows meant, but his tone sounded like he was here to interrogate and criticize him.
Roy has used the term Void powers from the Warcraft world to attract the attention of Fury, and Fury goes to investigate what happened to the destruction power of this world, ignoring the mission of the Seven Deadly Sins. This would definitely anger the Charred Council, but Fury's bad temper was not easy to subdue. If the Charred Council insisted on punishing him, it was highly likely that Fury would break ties with them.
This impulse must be in accordance with the intent of the plotters behind the scenes, Demon King Samael and Mad Queen Lilith. Roy did this to make a good impression on Samael.
How else. The demon king that appeared in this world was Samael and the Destroyer. If nothing unexpected happened, the Destroyer would definitely be killed by the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. There was no future if he followed her. Instead, the chess game directed by Samael and Lilith shows unexpected wisdom. Although Roy is now neutral, the point is, he still likes Samael.
But it's important to note that changing Fury's original plan would have hurt some people's interests because they originally planned to use Fury as a pawn.
The Charred Council was clearly one of the parties whose interests were harmed. And if he was right, the Hollow Master in front of him might be one of them.
Therefore, facing this kind of question, Roy refused to acknowledge it and pushed it all to Fury. After all, the Lord of the Hollows probably wouldn't face it …
Of course, this reason might have angered the Lord of the Hollows. Facing the demon lord, Roy and Julia had no chance of winning, so while saying this, he was secretly preparing to activate his Teleportation skill. As long as he saw the slightest possibility of the Lord of the Hollows attacking, he would not hesitate to bring Julia back to the Abyss. This was what he had been protecting when he left Fat Tiger in the Abyss.
However, what surprised Roy was that Lord of the Hollows showed no signs of anger after hearing Roy's reasoning. He suddenly breathed. “It looks like I'm old. You, a high-level demon, dare to participate in this chess game and use Fury as a pawn to pursue your own interests. But I can only hide in an alternate space and put my hope in others. ”.
“...” Roy looked at him confusedly, not knowing why he sighed. However, he disagreed with what the Lord of the Hollows said. He felt that he was not a player in this game.
In fact, Roy's understanding of Lord of the Hollows is a bit wrong. Lord of the Hollows did not specifically come to question him. Even without Roy's intervention leading to the plot getting lost, the Lord of the Hollows will also search for the Fury of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He will then use Fury to have him discover step by step the truth he was tricked by the Charred Council, thus inciting Fury to revolt.
In other words, the ultimate goal of the Lord of the Hollows was actually targeting the Charcoal Council!
Back then, he left in a fit of rage due to disagreements with the other Charcoal Council members. From his point of view, the Charcoal Council has been decaying for hundreds of millions of years. The Charcoal Council used the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to suppress the various races to maintain the so-called balance. This is understandable, but the crux of the problem is that ‘keeping this balance’ starts to change later. When he realized that maintaining balance was only an excuse, and the true purpose of the Charred Council was to protect its rules and authority, it had already deviated from the initial intent of the formation of the Charred Council.
The Lord of the Hollows felt that the current Charred Council had broken down and fallen, so he began to oppose the Charred Council.
Similarly, there were many who were dissatisfied with the Charcoal Council. Angels, demons, Hollow Sovereigns, and even some ancient races … Perhaps the Charcoal Council did not realize that using the powerful might of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to suppress the various races only continued to gather discontent from these races.
Now, this Final War between angels and demons was an opportunity for everyone standing across the Charcoal Council to jump out and add fuel to the fire.
In order to tear down the Charcoal Council, they first had to cut off his limbs, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were his limbs …
So naturally, Lord of the Hollows focused his gaze on Roy. He was very curious about what Roy, a high-level ice demon, wanted to do. Although the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had always been neutral, their chances of battling demons were much higher than their chances of fighting against angels. However, Roy not only does not fight Fury, but he even makes Fury throw his mission at him, which is hard to believe.
During this period of observation, he discovered that Roy possessed strength far exceeding ordinary high-level demons and was extremely clever. And he even knew how to use human weapons to fight.
Strong, clever, and cunning! Although he blamed the Fury, the Lord of the Hollows still relied on his intuition to realize that this demon might have the same goal for the Horseman of the Apocalypse.
However, Lord of the Hollows measured Roy from top to bottom and muttered to himself, “Not enough, not enough, not enough.”
He said these words very weakly, so Roy could not hear them clearly. He only felt that this old man was babbling. Is it because he is too old and a little crazy? Therefore, he immediately thought of finding an excuse to leave and stopped engaging with this old demon.
However, before he could find an excuse, the Hollow Sovereign pointed at the large objects hovering in the distance. “Do you want to go there now?” “Iya!” Roy nodded and thought, I'm only bothered by your appearance. Julia replied, “Your Highness Lord of the Hollows, earlier you said that we should not go. You mean what?”
It's the Tower of Destruction! Lord of the Hollows explained, “It was the house that he ordered the demons to build for him. He wanted to build a demon king city there and then completely rule over this entire world. Be it demons or angels, he would make them all succumb to his terror, but since the maker and some ancient races had also appeared in the human world, it might not be long before he returned . If you are not his subordinate, you should not fall into his trap. ”
“Is that so? Destroyer Tower? ” Roy looked seriously at the huge buildings floating in the sky. No wonder he could see some sources of radiation flying. They were supposed to be demons who built towers.
However, if it was the Tower of Destruction, then was Samael's sealed place not far from the tower? Destroyer could not kill Samael and could only seal him. He had to fear that Samael would cause him trouble after he escaped, so wouldn't it be better to build his residence near a sealed place to watch over him?
Roy is not too sure either. He would ask Julia later to see if the tower was near where Samael and the Destroyers fought …
“But ..” At this moment, the Hollow Ruler, who was persuading Roy and Julia not to go to the tower, suddenly changed the topic. “This does not mean that you can not get close to the tower. There is a demon named Abraxis who is the overseer of the Tower of Destruction. Demon Osiris, if you can find Abraxis and kill him, I will give you a special gift! ” “Oh? What payoff? ” Roy asked with curiosity. “Power! The power that is mine! ” says Lord of the Hollows. “Although you are much stronger than an average high-level demon, you are still only a high-level demon. In this game, you are still too weak. If you're not careful, you could be blown to pieces. If you have the power I gave you, you can reach the level of a Demon Lord for a short time. Although this power can only be used once, it can make you experience what kind of existence the demon lord is. It is very beneficial for you to break through to the demon lord level in the future! ” “Oh really?” Roy's eyes sparkled as he asked with ‘surprised’. “Kill Abraxis, return her heart and soul to me, and I will give you this power!” the Lord of the Desolate Souls.
Okay, agreed! Roy said straightforwardly.
Lord of the Hollows was satisfied. A magic formation appeared under his feet, and he sank back into it.
After she left, Julia asked Roy, “Are we really going to the tower?”
However, what he did not expect was Roy spitting on the ground. “Go! Let's find the Seven Deadly Sins! ”
Julia dumbfounded. “Then... then, how about the deal you made with him now?”
“It was just being indifferent with him and making him go faster!” Roy sneered. “Do you think Abraxis was that easy to kill? If we can deal with it, why doesn't the Lord of the Hollows do it alone? Listen to me and ignore this old man! “
“Then... then, what should we do if he comes to look for us?” Julia was a little confused.
“What to fear? We just said that we were going to kill Abraxis, but we didn't say when we were going! ” Roy stabs Julia in the forehead with his finger. “In addition, there is not even a devil contract, so it is just nonsense and toothless. How can he manage when we're gone? ”
After she realized this, Julia's eyes that looked at Roy turned into stars! He said to Roy in awe, “Osiris, you are so cunning!”
Well, there's nothing wrong with this word. In the Abyss, being called cunning was the best compliment to the demons …
Julia feels increasingly in love with Roy's charms and cannot let go of him…
