Chapter 225 - Well of Darkness (1/2)

After riding Fat Tiger for a walk, Roy and Julia did not feel anything, but the other high-rank demons nearby Black Brilliance Castle were shocked.

There was indeed no lack of large demons in the Abyss, but this was the first time they had seen such an enormous hellhound. Generally speaking, most demons like hellhounds were only at the middle-rank demon level. However, Fat Tiger’s firm muscles made every high-rank demon not dare to underestimate his strength.

Thanks to Fat Tiger, the high-rank demons around Black Brilliance Castle all knew that the castle had changed its master. And this new demon had a huge mutated hellhound, not to mention the high-rank fallen angel, leaving a deep impression on the nearby demons.

There were also a few high-rank demons like Benia that tried to greet Roy through the projection pool. Roy did not reject them. After all, at the high-rank demon level, there were much fewer conflicts and many more interactions and exchanges of information among them. This was extremely useful for Roy.

The increase in Fat Tiger’s strength had come to an end. Next was Julia.

In fact, during the three years of staying in the Darksiders world, Roy had asked Julia about how fallen angels improved their strength.

Fallen angels were very interesting. They neither belonged to angels nor demons, and they could be regarded as a form in between. Julia told Roy that pure angels evolved and promoted through training holy power. This was entirely different from demons, who devoured souls to increase their power. Although angels were also looking for souls, the souls they sought were noble souls with self-dedication and sacrifice. This was because as long as these souls were bathed in holy power, it was quite easy to turn them into holy souls. And having holy souls meant that new angels could be born.

Therefore, fallen angels in the form in between like Julia had formed a strange phenomenon. They could not devour souls like demons, but they could train dark power similar to angels!

The two most abundant elements in the Abyss were dark elements and fire elements. Precisely because of these characteristics, the strength of fallen angels rose rather quickly. But it was said that it was probably because of the first fallen angel of the Abyss, Lucifer. As a fallen angel, he was an existence on par with the Deadly Sin Demon Kings, causing the demons of the Abyss to be wary of fallen angels. Therefore, fallen angels like Julia were secretly restricted.

This was also the reason why a second Lucifer had never appeared in the Abyss-of course, it might also be that Lucifer was already extremely powerful before he fell. He was originally a top seraph…

Back in the Darksiders world, Julia had told Roy that her strength had not grown much, and she did not know what was going on either. But when Julia returned with Roy and finally went to meet Samael, who knew what Samael was thinking when he actually removed this restriction for her. This way, Julia could train dark power again.

The two pairs of fallen angel wings on Julia’s back had already turned into black flames. This was a manifestation of dark power and the flames of recovery in her body. In fact, it was no longer appropriate to call Julia’s flames hellfire. The dark flame power that she had now should be called a very unique ‘Abyss Fire’!

The power of flames could actually combine with many other powers. If it combined with holy power, it would be holy flames! When combined with dark power, it would be hellfire! However, the strange thing about Julia’s flames was that they more or less contained the characteristics of the three powers. The flames were black, which was the characteristic of fusing with dark power, but they also had the recovery characteristic of holy power. Not only could they restore physical wounds, but they could even repair damaged armor. It was very unbelievable.

This reminded Roy of Samael’s last words. He had told Julia to return to her original world if she had the chance.

Could there be something special about Julia’s identity? Roy guessed. Then he tried to see if he could think of ways to improve Julia’s strength.

At this moment, he could see the benefits of communicating with other high-rank demons. About five hundred kilometers east of Black Brilliance Castle, there was a demon castle called ‘Broken Blade’, whose owner was a high-rank demon named Hesk. Hesk was also an elemental demon, but he was an elemental demon who used dark power and was very good at using cursing magic. Before Roy occupied Black Brilliance Castle, he had been exchanging resources with the original master of the castle, Delt, because the demon obsidian produced near Black Brilliance Castle contained powerful dark elements. After Roy chased Delt away, Hesk could only trade with Roy. After paying a lot of demon obsidian, Roy successfully obtained the method to make the Well of Darkness from Hesk.
