Chapter 163 - Not Telling (1/2)

“W-what nonsense are you saying?!”

Although she said this, anyone could feel the unconscious trembling in the watcher’s voice. This was the first instinctive reaction from the body when a secret was exposed…

Roy pinched the watcher’s head. He was so close to her that he naturally felt it very clearly, so he increasingly confirmed his guess.

He swayed his tail slightly as he picked up the Talisman of Sin in his hand and continued to speculate. “Hmm, let’s think back and see. When Fury threw this thing to me just now, she said that this talisman was on Envy’s body after she killed it. She said that this thing could allow Envy to interconnect powers with the other Seven Deadly Sins… But then the question arises, why should Envy interconnect powers with the other Seven Deadly Sins?”

Julia could not help but ask, “Yes, why?”

“There’s only one possibility!” Roy turned to Julia. “That Envy was simply a fake! The so-called interconnecting powers is basically fake. The true function of this talisman is to steal powers without permission from the other Seven Deadly Sins and then use it to disguise herself!”.

Hearing this, Julia suddenly came to a realization. “I understand! If the strange bird that Fury defeated was really one of the Seven Deadly Sins, then it should have been powerful. There’s no reason for it to borrow other powers through the talisman!”

“That’s right!” Roy nodded in approval. “And it’s very easy to verify this. As long as we find the other Seven Deadly Sins and see if they have the same Talisman of Sin, we’ll understand! If there’s a talisman, my speculation is wrong. But if the other Seven Deadly Sins don’t have one, and only that strange bird had it, that proves there’s a problem…”

Roy looked at the watcher pinched in his hand with a teasing expression. “Am I right? The true Deadly Sin-Envy!”

Julia looked at Roy in surprise and then at the watcher in his hand, who had stopped struggling. She said in disbelief, “You’re saying that she’s the real Envy?! The watcher sent by the Charred Council to a Horseman of the Apocalypse is actually one of the Seven Deadly Sins?! What… what is it trying to do?!”

“I’ll have to ask her!” Roy grinned and said to the watcher, “Why are you still pretending? I suppose I’ll have to bring you to find the other Seven Deadly Sins to verify it!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the watcher suddenly said, “No need! There’s no Talisman of Sin among the other Seven Deadly Sins…”

These words undoubtedly admitted that Roy’s speculation was right. However, after her identity was exposed, the watcher did not panic at all. Although Roy was still pinching her, she said calmly, “So, demon, what do you plan to do with me? Will you seal me into the talisman?”

While saying this, the watcher quietly mobilized her magic power and prepared to fight Roy and Julia.

She really did not expect this demon in front of her to be so… sharp! He could deduce so much with just a little flaw.

Fury’s carefree personality, coupled with her preconceived mentality, caused her to be deceived and not doubt the authenticity of Envy. But now, a demon found out. This was seriously…

The original intention of the watcher was to take back the Talisman of Sin that Fury had given Roy. It was something very important to her, but instead of taking it back, she was exposed by Roy. The watcher greatly regretted it. If she had known earlier, why would she have stayed behind alone? Why not leave with Fury first?

However, just as the watcher, or rather the true Envy, was about to fight with all her might, Roy suddenly loosened his hand and let go of her!

“Huh?! W-what’s the meaning of this?!”

The watcher was dumbfounded. She floated in the air and looked at Roy in astonishment, not knowing what he was up to. “I’m in a good mood now, and I don’t want to kill you!” Roy stretched his claws and flashed a sinister grin at the watcher. “So, you can get lost now!”

Hearing this, let alone the watcher, even Julia was dumbfounded. She tugged at Roy’s wings and said anxiously, “Osiris! What the hell are you doing? Didn’t you agree to help Fury capture the Seven Deadly Sins? That’s a million souls! Now that one of the Seven Deadly Sins is here, you actually want to let her go?!” “What Seven Deadly Sins? I don’t see any!” Roy calmly held his demon horns with both hands and stroked them up along the horns. This action was just like styling his hair back when he had hair, making Roy feel extremely comfortable.

“You don’t see any? Isn’t she right in front of you?!” Julia had yet to react and still argued.

“Nonsense!” Roy could not help glaring at her. “Didn’t Fury kill Envy? How can she not be sure about this? We’re going to catch the other six!”

“Uh…” Julia was stunned. She finally realized that something was wrong. Although she still did not understand, she cleverly shut her mouth and did not say anything else.
