Chapter 139 Dark Ritual
While Roy was flying, Julia, who he held in his hand, woke up.
Julia had been upside down all this time, so when she woke up, her perspective was also upside down. She was very confused for a while before realizing her situation and immediately started struggling. “Let go of me! Demon!” Julia shouted at Roy.
Then… Roy really let go! And as soon as he let go, Julia began falling to the ground. Julia tried to flap her wings and fly, but her efforts were in vain because the feathers on her wings had already been burned under the high temperature of the missile explosion. The black feathers on them were incomplete and could not give her enough upward force. As a result, Julia fell smashing headfirst to the ground. As this place was a mountainous area, the ground was relatively soft, so almost half of her body sunk into the soil after she fell.
“Ahh… Ahh!”
Julia made muffled sounds in the soil, and her long legs exposed outside were kicking desperately. But she could not get herself out of it because she found it difficult to use her strength.
“…” Roy was a little speechless as he watched this scene in the air. He could only land and pull her out from the ground.
Cough Cough! After being pulled out, Julia collapsed onto the ground and coughed violently. When she was buried, a lot of soil went in her mouth, and she felt extremely unwell. After all the mud was out of her mouth, she looked up and shouted angrily at Roy, “You… How can you humiliate me like this?!”
Roy spread his demon wings and made a regretful expression. “Didn’t you tell me to let you go? I let you go, but you couldn’t fly. Is that my fault?”
Hearing this, Julia twisted around to look at her wings. When she saw the hideous sight of her wings and feathers, she pounded her fist on the ground resentfully. “Damn it! Those humans can actually hurt me?!” Although she was a female fallen angel, she was not like a real woman who would pester endlessly about it and be unclear about the situation. After waking up, she immediately recalled the huge explosion before she lost consciousness. Clearly, she had been attacked by a human weapon earlier, causing her to lose consciousness. And while she was unconscious, this frost demon saved her.
She forced herself to stand up and restored her expressionless face. “Demon! Let’s write off our enmity. I won’t pursue the fact that you’re a deserter nor mention it to anyone. Let’s just treat it as though it never happened, okay?”
After all, she was a barrier troop. Being able to make this promise meant that she had recognized Roy’s favor for saving her. Roy nodded readily. “No problem!” Julia turned to leave, but at this moment, Roy suddenly said, “Are you planning to return to the previous city? If I were you, I absolutely wouldn’t go back now!”
She turned back and asked in puzzlement, “Why?”
“Because War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, has descended, and the landing point is in that city!” Roy said. “You’ll be courting death if you go back now!”
“What?! Impossible!” Hearing Roy’s words, Julia was stunned and could not but raise her voice. “The End War has just begun, so how could they descend at this time?!”
Julia was Samal’s personal guard, so ever since she became a fallen angel, she had always been by his side, staying in this world and participating in the war between Heaven and Hell. Thus, she knew about and understood the existence of this world’s Charred Council.
Behind the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse was the Charred Council. It enforced the ancient laws and contracts and maintained the balance of the world. It had set the End War, and it was the final arbiter of the war. If the Charred Council sent the Four Horsemen to intervene in the End War at this time, it was akin to a referee ending a competition. This was an action that did not comply with the rules, and with the usual style of the Charred Council, it was absolutely impossible for it to do such a thing! Therefore, upon hearing Roy’s words, her first reaction was to think that Roy was deceiving her. But she did not doubt why Roy knew about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. She thought that Roy had been summoned to this world before and thus understood some of the situations in this world.
However, Roy was just casually saying this to her. After all, Julia was the first fallen angel he had encountered after all this time, so it satisfied his curiosity a little. In addition, compared to other demons, Julie could communicate with him, so he casually said this to remind her.
But Roy did not need to answer her doubts and suspicions, so he spread his wings and flew up. “It’s up to you if you believe me or not. I’m leaving!”
With that, Roy wanted to leave. Seeing that Roy really wanted to fly away, Julia quickly said, “Wait… wait!”
“What now?” Roy frowned.
“All right. Regardless of whether what you said is true or not, I plan on restoring my magic power first before returning!” Julia said. “But while I restore my magic power, I hope you can protect me temporarily!”
Julia had no choice but to do this. When the missiles bombed her earlier, she had subconsciously used all her magic power to resist. Now, the magic power in her body was empty, and even her wings were burned. If she went back to the battlefield in this state, even if what Roy had said about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse was false, she might be attacked by other angels, so it was definitely impossible for her to go back like this.
“In exchange, after I restore my magic power, I can use my authority to apply for merits for you!”

“Merits?” Roy touched his demon horns. “What benefits can I get?”
Julia was not surprised by Roy’s question. It was the same when dealing with other demons. If there were benefits, you should just say it frankly. She would be outsmarting herself if she tried to beat around the bush, so she explained, “You must not have participated in an Armageddon War before. Hmm… Well, let’s put it this way. Most of the time, when it comes to large-scale wars with angels, the commanding high-level demons will usually grant merits to the brave warriors who fight. In addition to punishing deserters, barrier troops like me also have the responsibility of recording merits. As long as you obtain merits, you can exchange for the corresponding rewards from His Majesty Samael after the war!
“But first of all, I won’t be able to give you too many merits!”
“Exchange for rewards from Demon King Samael?” Roy was moved when he heard this. It was a little exciting, so he could not help but ask her, “What kind of rewards can I get?”
“Um… That depends on His Majesty Samael’s mood!” Julia froze for a moment. “However, most demons in the past were rewarded with souls…”
Hearing this, Roy suddenly lost interest.
If souls are the only rewards, that would be of little value. Regarding souls, can’t I just get them myself?
Roy clearly remembered that the humans of this world would eventually become extinct. In other words, in just this world’s Earth alone, hundreds of millions or even billions of souls would be produced in the End War. As long as he worked a little harder, he might be able to obtain more souls than what he would get from Samael.
“Is there nothing else?” Roy asked.
She felt the lack of interest from Roy’s tone. “If you’re unwilling, then forget it!”
Roy thought about it and finally nodded. “All right, it’s better than nothing! Okay, let’s get started. You hurry to restore your magic power!”
Julia did not waste any time. She looked around and found a relatively flat place. She then took out her sword and half-knelt as she stabbed the sword into the ground.
The next second, a magic formation appeared at her feet. Unlike the pentagram magic formations Roy commonly saw, the magic formation beneath Julia turned out to be a nine-pointed star pattern! Julia was in the center of the pattern.
With a buzz, a strong black light suddenly burst from the magic formation and soared into the sky, instantly dying the sky in the vicinity black.
Seeing this scene, Roy finally understood why Julia wanted him to help protect her. This strong black light would be clearly visible from several kilometers away. If angel troops were passing by, they would definitely come to check.
Inside the formation, Julia was already floating little by little with the black light. The magic formation seemed to have an air current, causing her long black hair to stand up and flutter slowly.
“What I’m currently using is a dark ritual!” Julia said. “This ritual can help me quickly restore my magic power. But during this time, I have to stay inside this magic formation and not move! If an enemy comes, I’ll rely on you to resist them!”
“No problem!” Roy summoned Frostmourne from the system space and inserted it into the ground.
Looking at the sinister appearance of Roy’s sword of cursing, the corner of Julia’s mouth could not help twitching as she thought back to her battle with Roy and the scene of the power of the world expelling her. This isn’t a good memory…
At this moment, countless demon characters began to float in the magic formation. These demon characters gathered together and slowly rotated around Julia’s body. After seeing the ritual activate, she stopped talking to Roy and concentrated on restoring her magic power.
Roy looked at the dark ritual with interest. It seems to be magic that uses dark power.
Thinking about it, do fallen angels all use dark power like Julia? When they were angels, they used holy light, but after transforming, they now use another extreme power. It seems like there’s no discomfort. How do they do it?
Roy had not seen the transformation process of a fallen angel with his own eyes, so he had no way of knowing the exact details for the time being. So despite his curiosity, he did not ask anything and merely stared at Julia.
Hmm, speaking of which, after the missiles blasted Julia’s armor into tatters, it feels really strange… Strangely big, strangely seductive…
