Chapter 135 Barrier Troop
The female fallen angel in front of Roy was about 1.9 meters tall. Since she had landed from top to bottom, Roy observed her bottom to top.
She had a pair of outstanding, fair, long legs. When she landed, one of her legs was slightly bent forward, forming a very beautiful posture. From her feet to her calves, they were wrapped in a pair of black and golden battle boots. She was wearing a gorgeous one-piece battle dress, and the lower hem covered her thighs, while her upper part covered up to her neck. This battle dress had a metallic texture, and there were characters of Heaven engraved on it.
Since the equipment of angels was made in different worlds and influenced by the local culture, they would have somewhat different designs, but the overall style was still the same. This fallen angel’s armor in front of him closely followed the usual style of angels, looking dignified, holy, and solemn. But perhaps because she was a fallen angel, the armor was now black and gold in color and had a faint black aura surrounding it.
Coupled with the pair of black angel wings behind her, people could tell her ident.i.ty at a glance.
When this fallen angel stopped descending, Roy saw her face clearly. She was quite beautiful! She seemed to still have the uniquely beautiful and exquisite face of an angel, and after becoming a fallen angel, her dark aura added a bewitching feeling that angels did not possess.
Although, in general, Roy really appreciated the appearances of fallen angels and had been thinking about what fallen angels looked like, now that he really encountered one, Roy no longer had the same thoughts as before because this fallen angel clearly came with ill intentions.
“Who are you? What do you want?” Roy asked with a frowned.
“My name is Julia! His Majesty Samael’s immediate personal guard, and I’m in charge of the barrier troops!” Opposite Roy, Julia said expressionlessly, “Although I don’t want to deal with a demon like you, I have to say that I’ve been observing you in the sky for a while. You’ve been flying in this direction, but you’ve been in a rush when you encounter battles and haven’t stopped. What are you doing? Deserting?” Hearing this, Roy immediately remembered that fallen angels had a relatively special status in the Abyss in Araniya’s inherited memories.
They were not beings originally of the Abyss but transformed from angels or created by high-level demons using the souls of angels. Since fallen angels used to be angels, many demons were not very friendly toward them. Similarly, fallen angels found it very difficult to integrate into the Abyss, so they had always been relatively withdrawn.
But at the same time, fallen angels had strong powers. Perhaps because of their depravation, their race had no weak ones at all. The most basic were having the strength and status of high-rank demons. They often followed demon kings and demon lords as guards or personal guards, making their status extraordinary.
This time, in the End War started by the demon army against the angels, thousands of high-rank demons had followed. Most of them were the commanders and commanded the demon army to fight, but a small portion of them had the responsibility of being barrier troops. And the fallen angels who followed this time were probably among the ranks of the barrier troops.
In the Bible circulated in the human world, Samael was a fallen angel and a demon king who had fallen from the highest-level seraph, so it made sense that the demon king’s personal guards were fallen angels.
But after obtaining Araniya’s inherited memories, Roy knew that this legend was actually false.
Samael was a true Abyss demon, and his true body was the King of Wrath among the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings! This time, in the End War of this world, only an incarnation of him had come. But it was obvious from the appearance of his incarnation that he was not a fallen angel. The Bible circulating in the human world was nothing more than a revised version of the Heaven Bible. Many truths had long been artificially distorted…
Roy felt that the reason why the fallen angels had such a high status in the Abyss was probably nothing more than some form of propaganda by the ruling cla.s.s. It was all to tell the angels of Heaven that they had many benefits, such as the five social insurances[1] and one housing fund and paid vacations, attracting them to switch camps to the Abyss.
After understanding this, Roy was not surprised by the fact that Julia was the demon king’s personal guard. “Barrier troop? How ridiculous. The reason why I went in this direction was just to find another place to harvest souls. And you want to pin a charge on me?”
“Since you’ve landed in this area, you should fight in this area. Why do you want to change places?” Julia asked expressionlessly. “As for harvesting souls, you don’t have to worry about it. If the war goes well, His Majesty Samael will reward the warriors who fight bravely, so… return!”
Roy’s mouth twitched. F*ck, are you blind! War just descended. Didn’t you see the huge landing? And you want me to go back and fight?
Can’t you leave this kind of powerful enemy to the demon big shots? I’m just a middle-rank demon, so why are you just staring at me?
Roy could not be bothered to talk to Julia, so he rushed toward her.
“What a rude fellow!” Seeing Roy’s actions, Julia’s expressionless face finally changed. She did not expect that this frost demon in front of her would completely ignore her warning. He was obviously merely a middle-rank demon, but he dared to take the initiative to fight a fallen angel.
She stretched her hand out, summoned her sword, which was a slender, angel-style longsword, and then slashed at the charging Roy.
Clang! The sword clashed against Roy’s Frostmourne. At the same time, Roy’s body glowed with a faint red light. With the enchantment of Bloodl.u.s.t, his body suddenly grew much bigger!
As a fallen angel, Julia had reached the power level of a high-rank demon, but looking at her sword, Roy could tell that strength was not her forte. Under Roy’s immense strength, she naturally would not have the advantage in this collision. After being sent flying by Roy’s sword, she finally stopped!
“d.a.m.n it!” Julia cursed. She did not expect this middle-rank demon to use this method to fight her. His body suddenly enlarged dramatically, indicating that he was using some kind of spell to increase his strength.
Seeing Roy flying toward the east without looking back after sending her flying with his sword, she looked at the battlefield behind her, gritted her teeth, and continued chasing Roy.
Her wings flapped quickly, and the streamlined wings and smooth feathers gave her a very high speed. Roy’s Mach Flight was already very fast, but Julia followed closely behind at his heels, not falling behind at all, slowly catching up… While flying, Roy looked back in surprise. Julia’s flying speed actually exceeds the speed of sound?
During the chase, two of them flew hundreds of kilometers away. After feeling that she was close enough, Julia suddenly waved her sword, and a jet-black sword beam with dark power slashed at Roy from behind.
The sword beam was extremely huge and covered a very large area. In order to avoid it, Roy could only choose to evade upward or downward. As a result, Julia immediately caught up to him!

Julia’s fighting style was very skillful. Her sword was very fast, and she moved around Roy as she attacked him quickly. The powerful magic power in her sword broke through Roy’s defenses and soon left several wounds on his body. And most importantly, she could even use h.e.l.lfire. The black flames attached to the sword kept burning his wounds, forcing Roy to use his frost power to suppress the h.e.l.lfire.
Although Roy was injured frequently under her swift attacks, she was still very vigilant because she had managed to probe that this middle-rank demon in front of her was in the midst of promoting. The quality of his magic power was about the same as that of high-rank demons. In the collision of magic power, Julia’s magic power did not have an overwhelming advantage, and he always offset and neutralized it.
All she could rely on now was her speed, combat skills, and having more magic power than the opponent…
But at this moment, Roy suddenly held Frostmourne horizontally in front of him, and the demon characters on the sword slowly lit up. Then an enormous force spread out and formed a huge force field!
Julia was in this force field, so she immediately felt it!
“d.a.m.n it! How is this possible? This is the expulsion incantation!” Julia screamed…
