Chapter 203 The Day the Broken Sword is Reforged, When the Horseman Returns
Roy’s guess was right. As soon as he took the Red Sea Egg away, the Charred Council immediately noticed!
After all, this space was under the control of the Charred Council. Although Envy’s betrayal and invasion caught them off guard, it did not cause the council much trouble. In fact, during the time Roy was healing in the Red Sea Egg, Fury had already dealt with Envy.
However, Envy had seen traces of Raphael being infected by Void power, so she revealed this news to Fury when she died!
Of course, Envy did not have good intentions, but this news became the last straw that broke the camel’s back for Fury. During this period of time, Fury had been investigating what Roy had said about the corruption of Void power. She knew how terrifying this power was, so when she killed Envy, she immediately began to question the councilors about what was going on. This questioning directly hit the crucial point of the councilors and naturally angered them So they immediately announced that they would deem Fury as a traitor and planned to capture and imprison her like War!
However, Fury was not like the simple-minded War. She had absolutely no intention of waiting to be captured, so she immediately fought with the statues of the councilors.
And at this moment, Raphael’s incarnation returned. When Fury saw Raphael, she immediately realized that this was far from good, so after decisively taking a heavy blow, she took the opportunity to escape. She was one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, so she could naturally enter and leave this space at will. But before she left, she said, “Just you wait! I’ll bring my three brothers back to find you!”
She was indeed right. Before long, only War remained of the Four Horseman that the Charred Council could use, and they had no choice but to send him out. War, whose heart Roy had already planted a seed inside, returned to the human world and began investigating the truth. In the end, he would find and reforge the Armageddon Blade, kill the Destroyer, and summon the Four Horsemen together again…
It was the so-called ‘the day the broken sword is reforged, when the Horseman returns!’
Calm quickly restored to the Charred Council Space. Envy was killed, and the undead and low-level demons were suppressed. Just as Raphael wanted to re-enter the bottom of the magma lake to continue accumulating power, he suddenly sensed that the Red Sea Egg had disappeared!
“Damn it! Damn it!” This situation greatly angered Raphael and the other two councilors.
“Raphael, didn’t you say that you already settled it? Why did something happen again ?” the other two councilors complained unhappily.
“How would I know?!” Raphael shouted. “I really killed that damn demon. Could there have been someone else lying in ambush?”
“No matter what the situation is, please make another trip and see what’s going on! The Red Sea Egg has completely disappeared from our senses. We must find out who did it!” the other two councilors said.
“Why should I go?” Raphael said in discontent. “You guys are comfortably staying in the Legacy of the Creator and enjoying the growth in your strength, so why do you want me to stop and go run errands? Also, even if we find out who took the egg, who will be responsible for getting it back?”
“Let’s talk about getting it back later. Since you’ve already stopped, just go and take a look!” The statue on the right said with slight mockery, “And it was your responsibility to begin with. If you weren’t in such a hurry to rush back and instead stayed there to monitor, why would this accident have happened?”
“Damn it!” Those words choked Raphael, and he could only grit his teeth and fly out again.
Raphael hurried on his way, turning into a stream of light that streaked across the horizon. War, who was being imprisoned in the canyon, clearly saw this scene.
He looked up at the light streaking across the sky and narrowed his eyes under his hood. No one knew what he was thinking…
But not long after, an extremely intense flash of light appeared in the distance, illuminating the dim Charred Council Space as though it were daytime. When War saw this flash, he was almost blinded and quickly turned his head away, not daring to look directly at it.
Not long later, an earth-shaking rumble resounded, and then a blast wave with thick, billowing smoke swept over from afar. The blast wave swept through the entire canyon, blowing War, whose hands were hanging, into the air.
War did not expect the impact to be so strong, so he could only hold on to the chains tightly to protect himself. Fortunately, the pillars that he was bound to were nailed into the ground firmly, and that powerful blast wave did not blow them away.
After the blast wave weakened, War returned to the ground.
He was panting heavily. Withstanding that just now had consumed a lot of his stamina. War half-knelt on the ground and looked toward the horizon again, only to see a massive mushroom cloud slowly rising.
“It’s that demon named Osiris…” War thought about it and came to this conclusion. He muttered to himself, “And it seems like this explosion targeted Raphael… The councilors haven’t appeared in many years. I didn’t expect Raphel to suffer such a huge loss the moment he came out. Looking at the power of this explosion, even Raphael won’t be unscathed, right?”
War’s guess was right. After a while, he saw a figure flying crookedly in the distant sky. The six wings behind Raphael looked extremely miserable. The fifteen tactical nuclear bombs exploded at the same time, and they suddenly blew up at close range. How could Raphael, who had not participated in the End War in the human world, guess the power of this ultimate human weapon? Even though he immediately reacted and set up a protective shield, due to his miscalculation, the protective shield was instantly destroyed by the explosion, and the blast wave sent him flying tens of kilometers away. It was only now that he flew back while swaying in the sky.
In order to resist the radiation corrosion, Raphael had to use more magic power to fight against it, which caused his external defense to become much weaker, and the corrosion of Void power on him also took advantage of it and corrupted him faster… Although he did not die, Raphael really suffered a huge loss this time… But he never thought that the one who laid this trap was the demon he thought was dead. When he flew back, he was still gnashing his teeth and guessing who did it. Moreover, he highly suspected that it was the Mad Queen Lilith. After all, besides her, no one else was so adamant about getting the Red Sea Egg back…
When he returned to the statues, Raphael’s tragic state shocked the other two councilors. They could only have him quickly return to the magma lake to recuperate.
In fact, the reason why the three councilors had not shown their true bodies in the world for a long time was that they had always been at the bottom of the magma lake, enjoying the nourishment of a ‘Legacy of the Creator’. They publicized to the outside world that they had inherited the will of the Creator, and in some respects, it actually was not wrong because they had really found a relic of the Creator in this world…
Now, the Charred Council was in a rather awkward situation. Fury had defected, and they did not know where Death and Strife were. The only remaining Horseman of the Apocalypse was still imprisoned by them. Although they wanted to recover the Red Sea Egg, they found that they could not find anyone to do it. It was useless for those weaker soldiers to go, but it was impossible for the councilors to go out personally because they knew how much the angels and demons hated them. Once they appeared in the outside world, both the angels and demons would probably do everything possible to leave their corpses behind!
Now, it seemed like it could only use War. War was getting closer and closer to getting out of trouble…
Julia was currently walking around anxiously in her and Roy’s bedroom.
Although Roy had not been in the Charred Council Space for long, almost two months had passed in the human world. During this time, Julia had been very anxious because she could not know what happened after Roy entered. This unknown wait was the most tormenting.
At this moment, a violent spatial fluctuation appeared nearby Julia. She was first startled before she understood and quickly stood still to facilitate Roy’s positioning.
As expected, Roy’s figure appeared in the bedroom with a ray of light in the next second. Along with him appeared a huge flesh egg supported by his palm. “Osiris!” After waiting for Roy’s body to stabilize, Julia immediately swooped forward, hugged Roy’s waist, and rubbed her face with all her might. She said happily, “Great. You’re finally back! I was so worried!”
Roy smiled and patted her back to comfort her.
Julia raised her head and looked at the huge egg beside Roy in surprise. “Is this the Red Sea Egg? It’s so big! You’ve been gone for so long. It seems like it wasn’t easy to bring it out?”
“Of course it wasn’t easy!” Roy said. But he did not intend to tell her about his experience of almost being killed. There was no need to make Julia worry.
“Great. As long as you hand the Red Sea Egg to Mother Lilith, the mission will be completed,” Julia said. “When the time comes, you can obtain whatever information you want from Mother Lilith.”
However, Roy said, “No! I’m not going to give it to Lilith!”
“Huh?!” Julia was stunned. “Not going to give it, then…”
“Just treat this mission as a failure!” Roy’s eyes gleamed. “This Red Sea Egg will be ours from now on…”
