Chapter 178 Appearing

Roy’s prediction was right. He could indeed withstand the explosive power of this small-yield tactical nuclear bomb.

Compared to other elemental magic, the ice element could form a substantial physical defensive structure to resist the blast wave. At the same time, because of the low temperature of the ice element, it could also resist the high temperatures produced during the explosion. This was an advantage that other elemental magic could not match.

As for the most fatal radiation of the nuclear bomb, Roy’s Desolate Virus absorbed it during the explosion. And after absorbing the radiation, Roy could clearly feel that the Desolate Virus had become stronger!

In other words, when using these tactical nuclear bombs to deal with enemies, not only could they cause immense damage, but they could also strengthen Roy.

The only pity was that Roy had only obtained twelve tactical nuclear bombs. If he wanted more, he would have to go to other cities to search for similar nuclear defense bunkers.

Julia had followed Roy’s instructions and hid far away, but after the explosion, she immediately rushed over. When she saw that half of the city had been razed to the ground, she was very surprised.

Of course, she recognized that this explosion seemed to be the kind of attack that humans had used to retaliate before. However, the one Roy used this time had much less power. At first, Julia did not know what the human weapons that Roy had taken away were, but now she knew…

What surprised her was that Roy actually knew how to use these human weapons!

“How did you do it?” Julia asked Roy curiously after landing.

“Using a special method…” Roy threw the Talisman of Sin in his hand. “How is it? Human weapons are pretty powerful, right?”

“Are you planning to use these weapons to deal with the remaining Seven Deadly Sins?” Julia asked.

“Of course, the greatest advantage of these human weapons is that they don’t need to consume any of my magic power!” Roy nodded. “I don’t even need to appear. As long as I find the locations of the other Seven Deadly Sins, I can send a few low-level demons with these weapons and directly donate them after finding them. If one isn’t enough, then I’ll use two or three!”

Roy’s idea of using suicide attacks was something he thought of just now. The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt it was. He thought that Julia would praise his idea, but unexpectedly, Julia asked solemnly, “You mean that even low-rank demons can use these powerful weapons?” “Yes. What’s wrong?” Roy looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she had this expression.

“Osiris, it’s best not to use these human weapons in the future!” Julia persuaded. “Have you thought about it? These kinds of human weapons that can allow low-level demons to kill high-level demons, what would happen if they spread in the Demon World?”

Roy was stunned and immediately understood what Julia meant.

In Roy’s view, these powerful weapons were convenient and easy to use, but it was not necessarily the case for other demons. Just as Julia had said, they were something that could allow low-level demons to challenge high-level demons.

Such things existing were provocations to the strict hierarchy of the Demon World…

Just think about it. If Roy found enough nuclear bombs with sufficient might, would he be able to kill a demon lord? A high-rank demon killing a demon lord was simply a joke in the Abyss, but it would be different with these human weapons. Julia was saying this for Roy’s own good. She was worried that Roy would frequently use these human weapons and allow other high-level demons to see how to use them. In that case, some demon lords might look for him and even kill him personally for the sake of maintaining the hierarchy…

“Don’t worry. I understand.” Roy nodded. “I won’t hand these weapons to low-level demons to use…”

It’s fine as long as I don’t let other demons notice that anyone can use these human weapons…

After hearing Roy’s words, Julia smiled and hugged Roy’s tail from behind. She pressed her entire body against Roy’s tail and said, “Let’s go and continue searching for the other Seven Deadly Sins, but I want you to carry me while flying!”

Roy smiled and did not say anything. He spread his wings and soared into the sky with Julia…

A week passed by quickly.

During this week, after Avarice and Gluttony, the souls of two more of the Seven Deadly Sins landed in Roy’s hands. These two souls belonged to Sloth and Lust.

In addition to Roy’s Demon Eyes, he also had Vulgrim’s help in finding these two Seven Deadly Sins. This demon merchant had provided Roy with information on the location of Sloth, a place that Roy’s Demon Eyes could not find it, so Roy had paid hundreds of souls for it.

In order to find traces of these Seven Deadly Sins, Roy and Julia had traveled through several cities and saw many battles between angels and demons on the way. But it was undeniable that the angels were completely suppressed by the demons, and their numbers were becoming fewer and fewer.

Because the demons were now winning the war, these cities that Roy and Julia had passed through were basically full of demons They wandered in the ruins of every city and searched for every soul they could find.

The number of souls that Roy could collect through the Soul Attracting Flag was becoming less and less. But there was nothing he could do about it. Although there were numerous souls in this End War, the number of demons dividing the souls was also huge. After the initial harvest period, he could only accumulate souls over time.

This was why Roy was now doing his best to complete Fury’s mission. As long as Fury kept her promise, Roy could obtain a massive number of souls from her, far more than Roy’s hard work collecting them.

Now, the Talisman of Sin stored the souls of five Seven Deadly Sin (the Envy part was only a soul fragment), leaving only Wrath and Pride before Roy completed the mission.

However, Roy noticed a strange place when he killed a Seven Deadly Sin and stored his soul.

North of the city where Sloth had been, he could vaguely see some huge objects floating in the sky. Roy and Julia could see them from afar even though they were standing on the ground. These huge objects floated in the air, motionless, and they seemed to have a faint tendency of gathering together. “What are those things?” Roy asked somewhat doubtfully.

Julia observed intently for a while and said, “I’m not sure. They seem to be some… platforms?”

“Platforms?” Roy looked at them with all his might. Then he found that in his Radiation Perception, there were some tiny radiation sources near these huge floating objects. However, because it was too far away, the radiation sources were just spots of light, and these radiation sources kept flying around these floating objects without any pattern.

They should be some kind of flying creatures, but he did not know if they were angels or demons.

“Do you want to take a look?” Julia asked Roy.

Roy was about to agree when a voice suddenly came from behind him. “I advise you not to go!”

Roy turned around abruptly. In his perception earlier, there was no one around. He thought that Vulgrim had run out from the Purgatory Space again, but it did not sound like it.

After turning around, Roy and Julia saw a magic formation burning with bright flames on the ground. In the center of the magic formation was a black vortex. As the magic formation slowly rotated, a tall figure emerged from the vortex.

This tall figure had a large staff in both hands. His body was hunched, and behind him was a huge coffin. When Julia saw this figure, she was clearly shocked and quickly bowed. “Lord of the Hollows! Fallen Angel Julia greets you…”

That’s right. The figure that emerged from the magic formation was the Lord of the Hollows that had freed Ulthane from the ice.

Roy noticed that the person Julia called the Lord of the Hollows was actually a demon. He was taller than Roy, but because he did not stand up straight, Roy was only a head shorter.

Roy’s eyes darted around, and like Julia, he hammered his chest and paid respects to the Lord of the Hollows.

However, the Lord of the Hollows waved his hand and said, “You don’t need to be so polite. I’m just a demon who left the Abyss, so you don’t have to follow the methods of the Abyss before me…”

Julia had stayed in this world much longer than Roy, so she knew some of the famous figures in this world. But Roy was a little confused. He did not know where this demon known as the Lord of the Hollows came from.

However… the immense aura on the other party could not be faked. This Lord of the Hollows was at least a powerful demon at the lord level! Therefore, Roy saluted with Julia.

Although Roy saluted, he did not say a word. He thought that the Lord of the Hollows was here looking for Julia.

But to his surprise, the Lord of the Hollows looked at Roy and said in a deep voice, “Demon Osiris, you should be a demon who just came from the Abyss, right?”

He actually came to find me?! And he even knows my name?! What does this mean? It means that this demon lord has been secretly observing me! Roy’s mind raced, but he nodded calmly.”Yes!” “Then, do you know that the mission to hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins should have been the mission that the Charred Council gave to Fury of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse…” The Lord of the Desolate Souls looked at Roy with his slightly golden scarlet eyes. “Although Fury is only a pawn that the Charred Council is deceiving and casually manipulating, your actions have undoubtedly disrupted the Charred Council’s plans. Aren’t you afraid of the anger of the Charred Council?”
