Chapter 179 What Is the Qixi Festival? Bah! I Want to Update!
“Oh, no, no, Your Excellency Lord of the Hollows!” Roy bowed slightly. “I think you must have misunderstood. The mission to capture the Seven Deadly Sins was forced onto me by the Horseman Fury and not me deliberately causing trouble. You should have heard of Fury’s temper and personality, right? How can a high-rank demon like me dare to reject a Horseman of the Apocalypse?”
Roy lowered his head, but at this moment, his eyes were flashing with the cunningness of a proper demon.
Roy was not quite sure what the intentions of the Lord of the Hollows were, but his tone sounded like he was here to interrogate and criticize him.
Roy had used the term Void power from the Warcraft world to draw Fury’s attention away, and Fury had gone to investigate what was going on with the depravation power of this world, ignoring the Seven Deadly Sins mission. This would undoubtedly anger the Charred Council, but Fury’s bad temper was not easy to subdue. If the Charred Council insisted on punishing her, it was very likely that Fury would walk down the path of severing relations with them.
This push should match the intentions of the behind-the-scenes plotters, Demon King Samael and the Mad Queen Lilith. Roy did this to make a good impression on Samael.
It could not be helped. The demon kings that had appeared in this world were Samael and the Destroyer. If nothing unexpected happened, the Destroyer would definitely be killed by the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. There was no future if he followed him. On the contrary, the chess game directed by Samael and Lilith showed unfathomable wisdom. Even though Roy was neutral now, in essence, he still favored Samael.
But it was important to note that changing Fury’s original plan would certainly hurt the interests of some people because they had originally planned to use Fury as a pawn.
The Charred Council was definitely one of the parties whose interests were hurt. And if he was right, the Lord of the Hollows in front of him might be one of them.
Therefore, facing this kind of questioning, Roy simply refused to admit it and pushed it all onto Fury. Anyway, the Lord of the Hollows probably would not confront him…
Of course, this excuse might have the possibility of angering the Lord of the Hollows. Facing a demon lord, Roy and Julia had no chance of winning, so while saying this, he was secretly preparing to activate his Teleport skill. As long as he saw the slightest possibility of the Lord of the Hollows attacking, he would not hesitate to take Julia back to the Abyss. This was what he had been guarding against when he left Fat Tiger in the Abyss.
However, what surprised Roy was that the Lord of the Hollows did not show any sign of anger after hearing Roy’s excuse. He suddenly sighed. “It seems like I really am old. You, a high-rank demon, dared to participate in this game of chess and use Fury as a pawn to pursue your own interests. But I can only hide in an alternate space and place my hopes on others…”
“…” Roy looked at him in confusion, not knowing why he was sighing. However, he did not agree with what the Lord of the Hollows said. He felt that he was not a player in this game.
In fact, Roy’s understanding of the Lord of the Hollows was a bit off. The Lord of the Hollows did not specifically come to question him. Even without Roy’s interference causing the plot to go astray, the Lord of the Hollows would have also looked for Fury of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He would then use Fury to have her discover step by step the truth of her being deceived by the Charred Council, thereby instigating Fury to rebel.
In other words, the ultimate goal of the Lord of the Hollows actually targeted the Charred Council!
Back then, he left in anger because of disagreements with the other members of the Charred Council. From his point of view, the Charred Council had already decayed over the hundreds of millions of years. The Charred Council used the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to suppress the various races to maintain the so-called balance. This point was understandable, but the crux of the issue was that this ‘maintaining the balance’ began to change later. When he realized that maintaining the balance was just an excuse, and the Charred Council’s true goal was to protect its rule and authority, it had already deviated from the original intention of the Charred Council’s establishment.
The Lord of the Hollows felt that the current Charred Council had already been corrupted and fallen, so he began to oppose the Charred Council.
Similarly, there were many who were dissatisfied with the Charred Council. Angels, demons, the Lords of the Hollows, and even some ancient races… Perhaps the Charred Council did not realize that using the powerful force of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to suppress the various races was only continuously accumulating the dissatisfaction of these races.
Now, this End War between angels and demons was an opportunity for all those standing opposite the Charred Council to jump out and add fuel to the flames.
To collapse the Charred Council, they first had to cut off its limbs, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were its limbs…
When Fury descended into the human world, the Lord of the Hollows had been eyeing Fury. But unexpectedly, Roy appeared in front of Fury first and got her to leave behind the mission and leave. This prevented the Lord of the Hollows from implementing his original plan.

So naturally, the Lord of the Hollows focused his gaze on Roy. He was very curious about what Roy, this high-rank frost demon, wanted to do. Although the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had always remained neutral, their chances of fighting against demons were much higher than their chances of fighting against angels. However, not only did Roy not fight Fury, but he even made Fury throw her mission to him, which was indeed unbelievable.
During this period of observation, he discovered that Roy had strength far beyond that of ordinary high-rank demons and was very smart. And he even knew how to use human weapons to fight.
Strong, smart, and cunning! Although he pushed all the blame onto Fury, the Lord of the Hollows still relied on his intuition to realize that this demon might have the same aim for the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
However, the Lord of the Hollows sized Roy up and down and muttered to himself, “Not enough, not enough, not enough…”
He said these words very faintly, so Roy could not hear them clearly. He only felt that this old man was rambling. Is it be because he’s too old and a bit demented? Therefore, he immediately thought about finding an excuse to leave and stop entangling with this old demon.
However, before he could come up with an excuse, the Lord of the Hollows pointed at the huge floating objects in the distance. “Did you want to go there just now?” “Yes!” Roy nodded and thought, I was only interrupted by your appearance. Julia replied, “Your Excellency Lord of the Hollows, you said earlier that we shouldn’t go. What do you mean?”
“That’s the Destroyer’s Tower!” The Lord of the Hollows explained, “That’s the home he ordered the demons to build for him. He wants to build a demon king city there and then completely rule over this entire world. Be it demons or angels, he will have them all succumb to his terror… Of course, he’s currently attacking the White City, but because the makers and some of the ancient races have also appeared in the human world, it might not be long before he returns. If you aren’t his subordinates, it’s best not to fall into his trap.”
“Is that so? The Destroyer’s Tower?” Roy looked thoughtfully at the huge buildings floating in the sky. No wonder he could see some radiation sources flying around. They should be the demons building the tower.
However, if that’s the Destroyer’s Tower, then is Samael’s sealed place not far from the tower? The Destroyer couldn’t kill Samael and could only seal him. He should be afraid that Samael will cause him trouble after he escapes, so wouldn’t it be better to build his residence near the sealed place to monitor him?
Of course, Roy was not too sure either. He would ask Julia later to see if the tower was near where Samael and the Destroyer had fought…
“But…” At this moment, the Lord of the Hollows, who was persuading Roy and Julia not to go to the tower, suddenly changed the topic. “It doesn’t mean that you can’t go near the tower. There’s a demon named Abraxis who is the overseer of the Destroyer’s Tower. Demon Osiris, if you can find Abraxis and kill him, I will give you a special reward!” “Oh? What kind of reward?” Roy asked curiously. “Power! Power that belongs to me!” the Lord of the Hollows said. “Although you’re much stronger than average high-rank demons, you’re still merely a high-rank demon. In this game, you’re still too weak. If you’re not careful, you may be crushed to pieces. If you have this power that I reward you with, you can reach the level of a demon lord for a short time. Even though this power is only usable once, it can let you experience what kind of existence demon lords are. It’s very beneficial for you to break through to the demon lord level in the future!” “Oh, really?” Roy’s eyes lit up as he asked in ‘surprise’. “Kill Abraxis, bring his heart and soul back to me, and I’ll give you this power!” the Lord of the Desolate Souls said.
“Okay, deal!” Roy said straightforwardly.
The Lord of the Hollows was satisfied. A magic formation appeared under his feet, and he sank back into it.
After he left, Julia asked Roy, “Are we really going to the tower?”
However, what she did not expect was that Roy spat on the ground. “Go my ass! Let’s go find the Seven Deadly Sins!”
Julia was stunned. “Then… then, what about the deal you made with him just now?”
“That’s just being perfunctory with him and getting him to leave quicker!” Roy sneered. “Do you think that Abraxis is that easy to kill? If we can deal with him, why doesn’t the Lord of the Hollows do it himself? Listen to me and ignore this old guy!”
“Then… then, what should we do if he comes to find us?” Julia was a little confused.
“What’s there to be afraid of? We only said that we would kill Abraxis, but we didn’t say when we would go!” Roy poked Julia’s forehead with his finger. “Besides, there isn’t even a demon contract, so it’s just empty talk and without teeth. How can he manage when we go?”
After she came to this realization, Julia’s eyes looking at Roy changed into… stars! She said to Roy in admiration, “Osiris, you’re so devious!”
Well, there’s nothing wrong with this word. In the Abyss, being called devious is the best praise for a demon…
Julia felt that she was falling for Roy’s charms more and more and could not extricate herself…
