Chapter 180 Trouble Comes
Female demons loved ‘bad boy’ demons. This was how mate selection worked in the Abyss. Although Julia was a fallen angel, she was still from the Abyss, so she was no different from other demons.
The Lord of the Hollows would never have thought that Roy, a high-rank demon, would dare to agree casually to the condition proposed by a demon lord. However, he immediately regretted it.
Perhaps it was because he had been in this world for too long and had been in the Charred Council for too long, causing the Lord of the Hollows to forget how to deal with a demon: all verbal promises without contractual restraints did not count!
It was not that the power of the Lord of the Hollows was not attractive to Roy, but Roy felt that there was a pit in this job and did not want to jump in!
Roy had never seen that demon named Abraxis before, but since the Lord of the Hollow not only did not take action himself but did not tell Roy Abraxis’s demon rank either, how could Roy foolishly run to find trouble with him?
After being perfunctory with the Lord of the Hollows and getting him to leave, Roy turned around and forgot about this matter.
Of course, since the Lord of the Hollows was a demon lord, it was not good for Roy to disobey him blatantly, so the method he planned to adopt was one word: stall!
As for Julia, since she followed Roy, she would definitely support his decision unconditionally. Therefore, after only the two of them were left, they followed their original plan and continued to hunt down the remaining two Seven Deadly Sins.
However, they did not leave the Destroyer’s Tower, which was under construction, too far, and they could still vaguely see the huge floating rocks because, according to the intelligence provided by Vulgrim, Pride of the Seven Deadly Sins was nearby.
Before long, Roy and Julia found Pride…
Just as Fury had said, the Seven Deadly Sins were not demons, and the targets they chose to possess were also different. Pride turned out to be a four-winged angel!
Furthermore, it was a female angel wearing a golden mask. Roy could not see what she looked like under the mask. but what surprised Roy was that this angel possessed by the Deadly Sin Pride was not a fallen angel! Her wings were still pure white!
Finding a demon and a fallen angel appearing with hostility, Pride was unconcerned. Just like the deadly sin she represented, she stubbornly believed that she was the strongest and most perfect of the Seven Deadly Sins. She did not even look at Roy and Julia at all, completely treating them like ants, chattering non-stop to belittle them.
Regarding this, Roy felt quite speechless. He did not know where Pride’s self-confidence came from. Perhaps this was the characteristic that her deadly sin gave her.
After killing several Seven Deadly Sins, Roy discovered one thing—the bodies possessed by the Seven Deadly Sins were all chatterboxes. For example, Lust, whom he had encountered earlier, was a humanoid creature that was neither male nor female. It was fighting while chattering non-stop, attempting to seduce Roy and Julia into joining its camp. It even attempted to provoke Roy and Julia’s lust. At that time, Roy and Julia had almost fallen for its trick. They were already partners and had had a taste, so they were nearly unable to bear this arousal.
But in the end, it was Lust who knelt first because Roy had been guarding against it before the battle. Roy had created a black blizzard from the beginning, and Lust fought Roy and Julia in this blizzard. But finally, it was drained of its magic power by the Magic Power Virus. When Lust realized this and wanted to escape, it was locked down by Roy’s Black Hole and beaten by Julia.
Now, Pride also began using her mouth cannon.
Of course, Roy knew that the words of the Seven Deadly Sins actually carried some of the power of the deadly sins. Every intelligent creature would more or less have some negative emotions. The Seven Deadly Sins triggered the negative emotions of their opponents through their words and led them step by step into the domain they were good at.
Therefore, as soon as they saw Pride using her mouth cannon, Roy and Julia immediately surrounded and slashed her.
However, Pride’s power was indeed very strong. It could be said that she had the highest combat strength among the Seven Deadly Sins that Roy and Julia had encountered thus far. After all, her body was a four-winged angel, which was more suitable for exerting her power than the octopus and goblin bodies that they had encountered before. In the battle, Roy discovered one thing—the damage that Pride suffered during the fight instantly restored, be it sword wounds or frost wounds.
At first, Roy thought that she had a powerful self-healing ability, but then he realized that this was not the case. This was because when Roy used the cover of Julia’s attack to approach Pride and directly grab her with his hand to freeze her entire body, after about three seconds, all the ice on her body disappeared without a trace! He could not see anything resembling shattering, as though the ice had never existed.
