CHAPTER 224: THE WELL OF DARKNESS

After riding Fat Tiger for a walk, Roy and Julia felt nothing, but the other high-level demons near the Castle of Black Brilliance were shocked.

There was indeed no shortage of great demons in the Abyss, but this was the first time they had seen such a huge hellhound. In general, most demons like hellhounds were only at the mid-level demon level. However, Fat Tiger's powerful muscles made every high-level demon not dare to underestimate his strength.

Thanks to Fat Tiger, the high-level demons around Black Brilliance Castle all knew that the castle had changed its master. And this new demon had a huge mutated hellhound, not to mention a high ranking fallen angel, leaving a deep impression on the nearby demons.

　

　

There were also some high level demons like Benia who tried to greet Roy through the projection pool. Roy did not refuse. After all, at the high level of demons, there were fewer conflicts and more interactions and information exchanges between them. This is very useful for Roy.

The increase in Fat Tiger's strength had ended. Next up is Julia.

In fact, during his three-year stay in the Darksiders world, Roy has asked Julia about how fallen angels increase their power.

Fallen angels are very interesting. They did not belong to angels or demons, and they could be considered a form in between. Julia tells Roy that pure angels evolved and were promoted through the training of holy power. This was completely different from demons, who devoured souls to increase their strength. Although angels also seek souls, the souls they seek are noble souls with dedication and self-sacrifice. This was because as long as these souls were bathed in holy power, it was easy enough to turn them into holy souls. And having a holy soul means a new angel can be born.

　

　

Therefore, the fallen angels in form in between like Julia have formed a strange phenomenon. They could not devour souls like demons, but they could train dark forces similar to angels!

The two most abundant elements in the Abyss were the dark element and the fire element. Precisely because of these characteristics, the strength of the Fallen Angel increased quite quickly. But it is said that it was probably because of the first Fallen Angel in the abyss, Lucifer. As a Fallen Angel, he was an existence on par with the Deadly Sin Demon King, causing the demons from the Abyss to become wary of the fallen angels. Therefore, a fallen angel like Julia was secretly restricted.

This is also the reason why the second Lucifer never appeared in Abyss – of course, it is also possible that Lucifer was already very strong before he fell. He was originally a top seraph…

　

　

Returning to the Darksiders world, Julia had told Roy that her strength had not increased much, and she also had no idea what was going on. But when Julia returns with Roy and ends up going to see Samael, who knows what Samael was thinking when he completely removed this restriction for her. In this way, Julia could train the dark forces again.

Two pairs of angel wings falling on Julia's back had turned into black flames. This was the embodiment of the dark power and fire recovery in his body. In fact, it is no longer appropriate to call Julia's fire a hellfire. The dark fire power he had now had to be called the extremely unique ‘Fire of Hell’!

The power of fire could actually merge with many other powers. If it was combined with holy power, it would be a holy fire! When combined with the dark power, it would become a hellfire! However, the strange thing about Julia's flame was that it more or less contained the characteristics of the three powers. Its fire was black, which was characteristic of fusing with dark power, but it also had the characteristics of recovering from holy power. Not only could they recover physical injuries, but they could even repair damaged armor. That's very hard to believe.

This reminded Roy of Samael's last words. She had told Julia to return to her original world if she had the chance.

Could there be something special about Julia's identity? Roy guess. Then he tries to figure out a way to increase Julia's power.

　

　

The so-called Dark Well was actually a method to condense the dark elements that were everywhere in the Abyss. It also required many obsidian demons and a small amount of other ores.

According to what Hesk said, Roy found a place in Black Brilliance Castle and ordered the demon doll to dig a shallow circular hole as deep as sixty-six centimeters. He filled it with obsidian demons before using the melted metal liquid from some other special ores to draw special magic formations and carve demon characters around the edge of the shallow hole.

After completing the magic formation and inserting magic power to activate it, Roy discovers that at the bottom of the shallow hole, dark elements begin to gradually gather like thick fog. This dark element, which was dense like ink, turned into an ink-like liquid after touching the obsidian demon and finally gathered in the shallow hole.

A few hours later, the sixty-six-centimeter deep hole was almost filled with a liquid-like dark element!

And this is what is called the Well of Darkness!

Upon seeing the Dark Well, Julia instantly felt a strong dark force within. He had never thought of using a magic formation to withstand the dark elements within a fixed distance before …

　

　

Under Roy's instructions, Julia unbinds her weapon, lies in the Well of Darkness, and starts ‘mandi’! Although the black liquid was not actually water at all, but the product of a highly condensed dark element, this Dark Well was too good for a fallen angel like Julia, who controlled the power of darkness. Very comfortable so he groaned.

“Practice well here!” Roy told him. “I have to say that you are very lucky. You did not choose another demon castle but chose this Castle of Black Excellence. If not for this place, I probably wouldn't have found so many obsidian demons to build a Well of Darkness.

“Hmph!” Julia felt it was appropriate and inevitably said proudly, “That's because I feel a rich dark force here, okay!”

Roy really can't argue with him. Maybe it's the instinct of a Fallen Angel.

Fortunately, Julia soon fell asleep in the Dark Well. Roy knew that he would probably sleep here for a while to absorb the dark elements, so he left quietly.

After returning to the castle king's hall, Roy sat on his Second Throne, found the demon doll Cagruze, and asked him to urge the other demon puppets to increase the mining of obsidian demons. Although Cagruze looked extremely ugly, he was still capable of many things and immediately obeyed his orders.

Now that Julia was already sound asleep, and Fat Tiger was expelled due to his size, only Roy was left in the hall. Only then did Roy calm down and remember something.

　

　

As Roy merges with Uriel's soul, he discovers that there is a very short memory in the deepest part of Uriel's soul. Roy is certainly very curious about the memories that cannot be erased during this corruption transformation. But he didn't have much time to examine it carefully at that moment, and ever since returning to the Abyss, he was busy and almost forgot about it…

Now that he remembers and has time, Roy begins to look through the last memory left by Uriel's soul…
