Chapter 153 Julia’s Request
When she saw Roy again, Julia was shocked!
Because during the time after she left, Roy had not only completed his promotion but also his armor. He was totally different from when she saw him before.
As for Julia, she was currently heavily injured. She had just experienced a battle with a powerful enemy, and she was still jumpy and oversensitive. When she saw a domineering four-winged high-rank demon flying toward her, she immediately clenched her sword and looked at Roy with great vigilance.
Seeing her att.i.tude, Roy immediately reacted and said, “Julia, it’s me!” While speaking, Roy took off his helmet and held it in his hand. Although Roy’s demon horns had changed a lot during his promotion, his appearance was still roughly the same, so after looking closely at him, Julia immediately recognized him.
“Osiris… It’s you?!” Julia was in disbelief. She did not expect that Roy would change so much after promoting to high-rank demon.
After recognizing Roy, she could not help but relax and say weakly, “I… I finally found you…”
Before she could finish speaking, Julia fell headlong from the air to the ground.
Roy reacted quickly. As soon as he saw her falling, he hurriedly flew over to catch her halfway and grabbed her ankle.
Why does Julia fall every time I see her? And every time I hold her, it seems to be in the same position…
Roy looked around and flew toward a section of a building exposed above the sea. In his impression, this building originally had over a hundred floors, and it had been the tallest building in this coastal city. Unfortunately, the nuclear strike caused it to collapse in half, and now more than half of it was submerged because of the tsunamis. Now, only a section was left standing alone on the sea.
After flying to the building, Roy placed Julia down and waited for her to wake up, mainly because Roy did not have any souls on hand now. Otherwise, he could think of some ways to make some healing items for her to use.
While waiting, Roy was a little puzzled. What Julia said earlier sounded like she was specially looking for him?
Roy understood why she was injured. After all, Julia was a personal guard following Demon King Samael. Since Samael fought the Destroyer, his personal guards would definitely have to partic.i.p.ate in the battle. But judging from her miserable condition, she must have been beaten badly, and Samael seems to have lost? Otherwise, how could Julia, a personal guard, leave the battlefield alone and come here?
So, what did Julia come to find me for?
With these doubts in his mind, Roy waited quietly, and about an hour later, Julia finally woke up.
After waking, although she was still a little confused, she immediately reached out to grab her sword. It was not until she saw Roy sitting by the side that she remembered what happened before she pa.s.sed out. She breathed a sigh of relief, loosened her hand, and the sword fell to the ground with a clang.
“Do you need to use another dark ritual?” Roy asked.
“N-no!” Julia shook her head. “Unlike the previous time, I am now being corroded by powerful magic power, and I can only slowly eliminate this power. The dark ritual won’t be able to heal my wounds…”
“What happened?” Roy asked. “How did you get beaten so miserably?”
Hearing Roy mention this, Julia’s face darkened. “You were right to choose to stay away. If you were in that city, you might have also…”
At this point, Julia did not continue speaking about this but instead changed the topic and began to talk about what had happened to her. With a solemn expression, she said, “A traitor has appeared! The Destroyer, he used the power of the Abyss to fall and become a demon king, but he is not the leader of the demons. He has extraordinary ambitions. When His Majesty Samael descended, he actually attacked His Majesty!
“What’s ridiculous is that some demons chose to follow him…
“Osiris, I need your help!” Julia looked up at Roy and enunciated each word, “During the battle with the Destroyer, His Majesty Samael was unfortunately sealed by him! Although the Destroyer couldn’t kill His Majesty, for some reason, he actually has endless magic power. With the help of this magic power, he sealed His Majesty in this world, completely isolating his connection with the Abyss. Osiris, I request you to help me! Think of a way to remove the seal on His Majesty Samael with me!”
“Me?!” Roy was stunned when he heard this. He could not help but stand up and walk to Julia’s side. While looking down at her, he poked her forehead with his finger. “Are you sure you weren’t beaten silly by the Destroyer? How can you come to me for help with this kind of thing?!”
“Can’t… can’t I?” Julia asked in a daze as her mind shook from Roy’s poke.
“Nonsense! Remove the seal? A demon king placed a seal on another demon king, and you’re actually asking a high-rank demon like me to help?” Roy spat. “Even with you, it’s just two high-rank demons. The Destroyer could stab us to death with a single finger… Did you really get beaten brainless?”
“Then… then what should I do?” After hearing this, Julia was at a loss for what to do. “Should I let His Majesty Samael stay sealed like this? Without his connection with the Abyss, he’ll become weaker and weaker…”
“How should I know?” Roy said impatiently. “How is it the turn of us high-rank demons to worry about the affairs of demon kings? You’d better give up such unrealistic thoughts.”
Julia no longer spoke. In fact, when Samael was defeated and sealed, Julia, who had been lucky enough to escape from the battlefield, had been stuck in a dazed state. She was a fallen angel created by Samael, so there was no doubt about her loyalty to him. She could not defeat the Destroyer and the demons under him. The only way she could think of was to rescue Samael from the seal. She was weak and needed help, so she first thought of Roy.
Demons did not have friends, and fallen angels were no exception. But Roy had protected her and allowed her to complete the dark ritual, so subconsciously, Julia felt that she could only trust Roy.
She still remembered the direction Roy had left in, so she dragged her severely injured body all the way here. Fortunately, she had really met him. Otherwise, she would not have been able to go too far in her current state.
However, after seeing Roy, she was stunned by Roy’s words. Yes, facing the powerful Destroyer, even Samael was defeated. Even if they, two high-rank demons, worked together, what could they do?
“All right. Leave after you recuperate!” Roy waved his hand impatiently. “Find a chance to return to the Abyss! Samael is a demon king, so he might have other subordinates in the Abyss. You can seek their help, but don’t come to me!”
Unexpectedly, his words reminded Julia. She suddenly perked up and said, “That’s right! Mother Lilith! Osiris, go with me to find Mother Lilith. If she helps, His Majesty Samael can definitely be saved!”
“Who? Lilith?” Roy was a little confused. In fact, he had only played the first Darksiders game. After so long, he could not remember too much, so how could he know who Lilith was?
“Mother Lilith is the ancestor and matriarch of all the succubus demons in the Abyss!” Julia said. “Legend has it that she is the first succubus of the Abyss! Like other demon kings, she has incarnations in several worlds. And in this world, she is His Majesty Samael’s partner and has always accompanied His Majesty in his battles against Heaven. But when the End War began, Mother Lilith stayed in another alternate s.p.a.ce and did not partic.i.p.ate in the war. If we can find her, she definitely has a way to remove the seal on His Majesty Samael…”
