Chapter 238 - Land of the Dead (1/2)

The sun was high in the sky and scorching hot.

The weather in the desert was absolutely cruel. With the scorching sun, the hot air, the huge temperature difference between day and night, and the difficult-to-detect quicksand traps, the Desert of Death was indeed worthy of its name.

But this fatal environment was only for ordinary people. It was nothing to demons from the Abyss of Hell. Even if it was hot, could it be as hot as the magma everywhere in the Abyss?

However, although the desert environment was nothing to Roy, Julia, and Fat Tiger, they still encountered trouble.

The first trouble was naturally the sunlight. Although the sun’s rays were not harmful to demons, it was in the nature of demons to hate sunlight. It was the same for Roy. He felt that his body was uncomfortable under the sunlight, and he did not look energetic. On the other hand, Julia and Fat Tiger were slightly better.

As for the second trouble, it was an emotional problem. What kind of concept was a desert that was more than a million square kilometers? To put it bluntly, even if they relied on flying, they might see the same scene after flying for an hour. Except for endless yellow sand, it was still endless yellow sand. This monotonous and unchanging environment easily made people feel irritable and bored.

Roy was tired from flying in the air, and he could not help but roar ‘Desert Camel[1]’. He felt slightly better after shouting.

Julia flew beside him. After hearing him sing, she could not help but ask curiously, “This should be a human song, right? I thought you’d be like the other demons and only know how to sing deep arias or dark war songs… I didn’t expect you to sing human songs as well.”

“Do you think it sounds nice?” Roy asked with a smile.

“It’s horrible! It’s like… the feeling of scratching the heart!” Julia thought for a while and gave a fair evaluation, causing Roy’s smile to freeze.

Goodbye, my karaoke career… Roy thought dejectedly.

Although it was rare to hear demons singing in the Abyss, there were indeed demon songs. But demon songs were usually composed of all kinds of roaring and rarely mixed with the demon language. If you saw a demon constantly making strange sounds, don’t doubt-the demon was definitely singing!

And the song was absolutely ‘disturbing’… Demon songs were a form of torture for humans. The main problem was the frequency of the sound. It was impossible for a demon’s voice to produce pleasant sounds. Not only was it rough, but it sometimes also sounded like nails scraping against glass. If ordinary humans heard demon songs, it would cause neurasthenia, mental disorders, and hallucinations.

Roy’s voice was naturally no exception. Now, he basically bid farewell to karaoke…

“Julia, sing a song?” Roy suddenly thought. “Although you’re a fallen angel now, your voice shouldn’t have changed, right? What about angel songs?”

“You want me to sing?” Julia was stunned for a moment before shaking her head awkwardly. “Even if I can sing, I’ve completely forgotten how to sing those songs…”

“It doesn’t matter. You can just hum casually!” Roy looked at her with anticipation in his eyes and encouraged her. “Improvise!”

“Okay, I’ll try…” Julia could not stand Roy’s gaze, so she could only agree and flew in the air. After some thought, she clasped her hands in front of her chest and began humming softly.

In the beginning, Julia’s voice was still very soft. But slowly, she let go, and her voice became louder.

In fact, the moment she opened her mouth, Roy was charmed by her voice. Roy did not know how Samael had molded Julia’s body, and she seemed to have retained her angelic voice perfectly!

The ethereal, vast, and beautiful voice had a power that directly struck the soul, causing people to feel an inexplicable shock after hearing it! Julia’s voice echoed in the desert, seemingly causing the heat to subside, the violent sand to become gentle, and fine sand to dance in the wind… Even Roy, a demon, felt the beauty of this voice!

Roy stared at Julia in a daze, listening to her hum the improvised song without any lyrics, and he could not regain his senses for a long time.

“How is it?” Julia asked Roy in embarrassment after singing.

Roy sighed. “Indescribable beauty! No wonder humans are willing to get close to angels. This angel song is like a big killing machine for humans. Even I almost lost myself in it… Perhaps when we go to a human world with the technology developed, I can help you record an album…”

Fat Tiger, who was smiling from ear to ear, barked three times, “Aw,” “Woo,” “Woof,” agreeing with Roy’s words. It seemed like he liked listening to Julia sing.

Julia smiled and shook her head. “I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I heard that the singing of angels can’t be recorded by human technology!”
