Chapter 194 Prisoner
Roy and Julia did not wait too long.
Envy came as promised. But when she appeared this time, her appearance had changed drastically. She was no longer in her watcher disguise and instead looked like an ugly green-skinned, multi-armed monster!
She had six arms, and they held different weapons, such as a broadsword, a gun, a staff, longsword, and so on. If Roy looked closely, he would find that these weapons were the weapons of the other Seven Deadly Sins that Roy had killed.
Her appearance had changed, and similar, Envy’s power had changed tremendously. At least when she appeared in front of Roy and Julia, the magic power pressure emanating from her made Roy and Julia feel very uncomfortable.
Since she looked like this, it was obvious that she had tricked Fury. Otherwise, how could she have taken back the Talisman of Sin from Fury?
With all the powers of the Seven Deadly Sins, has this fellow really reached the strength of a demon lord? Roy thought…
When she saw Roy again, Envy laughed maniacally. She raised her gun-wielding arm, pointed the gun at Roy, and said hatefully “Damn demon, do you still remember how you treated me?”
“What are you doing?!” Julia immediately drew her sword out of its sheath. Black flames burned all over her body, and she stared at Envy, unwilling to be outdone.
But at this moment, Roy gently pushed her away, indicating that she should not be nervous. Then he looked at Envy with a teasing smile. “Your strength suddenly increased, so you want to get back at me?”
How could Roy not understand this arrogant mentality of a petty person? He had expected this to happen from the beginning.
“Put away your damn smile!” Envy continued to point her gun at Roy and shouted at him, “When you pinched my head like you were pinching a dog, did you ever think that this day would come?! Demon, I’m back now, and my strength can easily pinch you to death!”
“Then shoot!” Roy did not panic at all. “Fire the bullet, and then we’ll fight. Let’s have a good battle!”
With Roy’s words, creaking sounds came from nearby the castle. These sounds strung together like millions of biting rats, and then a large number of skeletons and zombies appeared. They held their worn-out weapons, and their hollow eyes stared at Envy.
Seeing so many undead appear, Envy was a little surprised, but then she laughed. “Do you think these rotten bones can stop me from killing you?”
“No, but they can help me block you. As long as they can stop you for a few seconds, I’ll have a way where both sides suffer losses!” Roy placed his hand on Julia’s shoulder. “Even if you’re rather powerful now, don’t underestimate me. As long as I can severely injure you, I can watch you return to the Charred Council to go to your death!”
Although he said this, and his face did not reveal any flaws, Roy had already made up his mind. If Envy really dared to fall out with him and fight, then he would take Julia and leave here first with the Teleport skill. As for saying that both sides would suffer losses, that was basically a lie. Roy was not stupid enough to fight a lord-level figure head-on.
However, Roy’s words stabbed Envy’s sore spot. The reason why she had deliberately disguised herself as a watcher and hid beside Fury was that she wanted to seize the powers of the other Seven Deadly Sins and then return to the Charred Council to take revenge. If she really fought with Roy, and both of them were injured, then the matter of revenge would be delayed for a long time…
Thinking of this, Envy suppressed her anger and planned to let Roy off first. Anyway, this guy was only a high-rank demon. When she finished her revenge, she could turn around and kill him at any time. Furthermore, this guy had made so many undead, so it seemed like he really wanted to go to the Charred Council to cause havoc. This was beneficial to her own revenge plan.
With these thoughts, Envy lowered her gun and raised her chin. “Okay, I’ll let you go this time. After entering the Charred Council, you’d better stay as far away from me as possible. Otherwise, pray that I won’t kill you while fighting!”
Roy grinned but did not say anything. He only stretched out his hand and gestured in invitation.
Both sides were guarding against each other, but because each of them had more important matters to attend to, they still followed the original plan, and Envy opened the spatial channel to the Charred Council.
Although Envy’s body no longer looked like the watcher, she had not actually changed her target of possession. This body was still the original body of the watcher. But after her strength increased, Envy had reshaped this body to become more suitable for combat. She stood on the spot, and her magic power surged. Her hands glowed and stretched out in front of her. Then, as though she had caught something in the air, her hands suddenly pulled. With a slight buzz, a pitch-black fissure appeared out of thin air, and then Envy’s hands gradually pulled open and enlarged it, finally forming a circular space gate. “The Charred Council Space has been modified. You don’t need to go to a specific place to enter this space, and you only need the key to enter directly. The council originally wanted to make it convenient for it to send troops and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but now it’s convenient for us!” After Envy opened the spatial channel and took two steps back, she said coldly to Roy, “You can enter now. Let your rotten bones go in first to explore the way!”
Roy did not waste any time. With a wave of his hand, the undead summoned by the liches rushed into the spatial channel first. When the undead army entered halfway, Roy signaled that it was time for Envy to go in.
Envy snorted coldly. She did not say anything and entered the space gate.
Roy did not follow in but commanded the undead and low-level demons to continue entering
Julia took advantage of this moment and whispered to Roy, “You don’t know how big the Charred Council’s alternate space is, nor do you know where the Red Sea Egg is. After you enter, you might need a long time to find it, so be careful!”
Roy nodded. He could have asked Envy about the situation before going in, but seeing how this fellow was acting like a villain now, Roy did not bother to ask. Moreover, he had not planned to let Envy know what he was looking for when he went in. This fellow’s mind was too complex, and she might mess up his plans, so he could not let her know.
Julia would not follow Roy in. She would stay outside and wait for Roy. Roy did not know when the spatial channel would close, so he had left a way out. He left teleportation coordinates on Julia, just like he had on Fat Tiger. If anything went wrong, Roy could teleport back to Julia’s side with the Teleport skill. This way, without needing spatial channel, Roy could leave the alternate space and avoid the worst-case scenario of being caught in a trap.
Roy was the last to enter. After going in, the liches and low-level demons had already spread out according to Roy’s instructions to cause chaos in the Charred Council Space, attracting the attention of the other party…
After passing through the dark space gate, what Roy saw was a world full of flames!
He did not expect that the Charred Council Space would be so similar to the Abyss. The air here was full of the smell of smoke and sulfur, making Roy feel refreshed.
But Roy was the last to enter, Envy, the undead, and the low-level demons were no longer near the space gate. Roy could not see them in his surroundings, but he could vaguely hear all kinds of explosions and roars in the distance.
The Charred Council was indeed in chaos at this moment. The sudden betrayal of Envy, this mole, was completely unexpected for the council. So many undead and demons were rushing into this space, spreading out and causing destruction everywhere, making the council feel overwhelmed. But its reaction was not too slow, and it quickly sent the council army to suppress them.
However, with these undead and demons attracting attention, not only was it convenient for Roy to move, but even Envy was not obstructed in the slightest. From the beginning, she headed straight for the burial mound where the three councilors were!
Yes, who knew what mysticism the three councilors of the Charred Council wanted to play, and they had created three fiery statues for themselves as their representatives. Even when communicating with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, they used these statues. It was unknown where their true bodies were hiding.
Roy knew that it would not take long for Envy to fight the councilors, but he did not know how long Envy could fight for, so he had to speed up.
“Go!” Roy waved his hand in the air, and instantly, a large group of Demon Eyes flapped their wings and flew in all directions, like little bats. During the flight, they gradually became invisible.
Without too much information about the Charred Council Space, Roy could only rely on himself to find the Red Sea Egg. After the Demon Eyes dispersed, Roy found a direction and flew forward.
However, before he could go far, a scene appeared from a Demon Eye. After being stunned for a moment, Roy braked in the air and flew to another side.
Not long after, Roy arrived in a canyon. There was a huge magma river flowing in this canyon, and at the middle of a mountain, Roy saw the scene from the Demon Eye.
It was… a figure whose hands were hung up. At this moment, he was kneeling on the ground, motionless. A dark red hood covered his drooping head, and Roy could not see his face clearly, but the ferocious heavy armor with skulls on it that he was wearing showed his identity.
War of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?! He’s actually imprisoned here by the Charred Council?!
Roy thought quickly. He folded his wings and landed on the platform where War was imprisoned…
