Chapter 140 The Fallen Angel Without Memories

The magic of the dark ritual could quickly restore magic power, but just like what Julia said, the light produced during the ritual was too eye-catching. A few angel soldiers pa.s.sing by this area chose to come down and check it out when they noticed the light of the ritual, so they inevitably fought Roy.

Of these angels, the rest were easy to kill, but one of them seemed to be a captain and was quite troublesome. Roy took a long time to find an opportunity. He flashed and suddenly appeared beside the opponent, and then he used his frost power to completely freeze him in a huge block of black ice. After fighting so many angels, Roy’s magic power consumption was quite high, making him aware of the importance of magic power recovery speed.

It could be said that middle-rank demons, high-rank demons, and even demon lords would face the issue of magic power consumption. Hadn’t the high-rank demon Xeron been killed by dragons after exhausting all of his magic power? In addition to Xeron, there was a living example with Julia in front of him. If he truly wanted to achieve having an unlimited amount of magic power and endless life, it was probably something only a demon king like Samael could do.

So, in his free time after the battles, Roy could not help asking Julia, “Is this dark ritual demon magic? Can I learn it?” In the formation, Julia was stunned for a moment before shaking her head. “No, it’s not demon magic. Strictly speaking, the dark elves developed this magic, but there shouldn’t be any problem with learning it as long as you know how to use dark power. I see that your magic power is rather strange, seeming to be a mutated result of the combination of frost and dark powers. But the essence of the dark power is still there, so maybe there won’t be any problem learning

it.”

Julia paused for a moment before continuing, “But as you’ve seen, this ritual has many drawbacks. Especially when you’re alone, it’s best not to use it. Once an enemy interrupts you, not only will you be unable to restore your magic power, but your magic power will also collapse for a while, causing you to fall into danger. Are you sure you want to learn it?”

“Dark elves? You even learned their magic?” Roy asked in surprise. “Teach me this ritual. Maybe I can use it.”

Julia did not waste any time. She pointed at the magic formation beneath her feet and began to explain to Roy

In her opinion, Roy was a rare demon race and had great potential. Not only was he about to become a high-rank demon, but when she had lost consciousness, he had not abandoned her.

In Roy’s opinion, a fallen angel like Julia would help him understand the situation of angels and fallen angels, and perhaps he could use her to understand the situation in the Abyss where high-rank demons lived. In addition, Julia herself had a high status, so maybe he could establish a connection with Demon King Samael through her in the future.

Therefore, in a situation where both sides were more restrained, the two of them were in a very nuanced state of cooperation, and they were both carefully maintaining this cooperative relations.h.i.+p with each other. Roy worked hard to stop the angels so that Julia could recover her magic power without disruption. Similarly, when Roy asked to learn the dark ritual, Julia did not hide anything and explained seriously. Although they had a misunderstanding and fought earlier, they were both in the Abyss camp and were natural allies. When the angel army still existed, it was best for them not to infight… Whenever it came to various rituals, it involved knowledge related to magic formations. This dark ritual was the same. Magic formations usually had fixed geometrical structures and were divided into pentagram formations, six-pointed star formations, nine-pointed star formations, and so on. But in addition to the geometric structure, it required engraving the corresponding magic symbols to form a complete and effective magic formation.

The same pentagram would produce totally different effects when drawn with symbols in demon characters, elven characters, or dragon characters. After acquiring Araniya’s inherited memories, Roy had completely supplemented his knowledge of demon characters. If the magic formation used demon characters, he might be able to understand it after a while. But the problem was that Julia’s dark ritual magic formation was engraved with dark elven characters!

The dark elves believed in the Queen of Spiders Lolth. In Araniya’s spider demon inherited memories, she should have memories of the dark elven writing. But for some reason, there was not much about it, so it was very strenuous for Roy to understand these dark elven characters.

Roy guessed that it might be because most of the spider demon descendants lived in the Abyss, so in the inherited memories left behind by the Spider Queen Lolth, there was more knowledge about demons and less knowledge about other worlds.

It was like an ancestor being a wise and far-sighted hero with infinite glory, but his descendants were all mediocre and could only live in a corner of the world and survive with difficulty…

Roy finally remembered the dark ritual under Julia’s continuous explanation. After he completely remembered it, Roy successfully obtained the skill Dark Ritual in the system’s attribute panel, meaning that even the system recognized this ability he mastered.

Dark Ritual, the ability to recover magic power quickly. Although it had the disadvantages of being unable to move and could not be interrupted, it did not matter to Roy. He was different from other demons. If he wanted to use this ability, he had Fat Tiger by his side to protect him.

In addition, he was saving his souls to materialize the Cold Winter Armor, which also had the attribute of quickly recovering magic power, so learning the dark ritual was merely more out of mental preparedness for Roy…

After about thirty minutes, the magic formation under Julia’s feet suddenly disappeared, and she stopped floating and fell to the ground.

“All restored? Quite fast!” Roy was a little surprised. He had calculated his own magic power recovery time before, and in thirty minutes, he would only be able to restore about a twentieth of his total magic power. Roy felt that it should be the same for Julia, but with the help of the dark ritual, she recovered to the state of having full magic power.

Thinking about this, Roy could not help but feel sorrow for Xeron. Had that fool known such a skill, how could have been beaten so miserably by the dragons?

Julia nodded. “I’m done!”

As she spoke, black flames suddenly appeared from her body. The black flames swiftly spread over her entire body, including the wings on her back, making her look like black flames…

The flames came and went quickly, and before Roy could ask what she was doing, the black flames began to fade away.

As the flames dissipated, the damaged black and gold armor on Julia actually restored, becoming bright and new. Especially the black wings on her back, those burnt feathers actually grew out again after the flames faded, covering her wings. The black feathers were incomparably bright and smooth, s.h.i.+ning with black light.

Not only that, but Roy also saw another pair of black wings under her black wings, though they were smaller.

She seemed to have been reborn under these black flames and returned to her original state. Her entire body was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with magic power. “Four-winged angel? Is this your power at your peak?” Roy asked in surprise. “Also, what were the flames on you just now? I remember that h.e.l.lfire doesn’t have such a healing ability, right? It even managed to repair your damaged armor…” “Uh, I’m using h.e.l.lfire, but it’s different from ordinary h.e.l.lfire!” Julia hesitated but still explained. “Because I knew how to use holy flames before I transformed, after the transformation, a bit of the power of holy flames appeared in the h.e.l.lfire I fused with and can repair my wounds…” Holy flames? Is it that meaning of holy flames? Roy pondered but did not ask. He could tell that Julia did not want to mention the things before her transformation.

After all, she was once an angel but was now a fallen angel and became enemies with her former comrades…

Roy guessed this, but he did not know that he was wrong at this time. In fact, if angels chose to fall, they would be able to retain their original memories after becoming a fallen angel. But if their souls fell into the hands of demons and were forcefully contaminated and transformed, they would lose all their memories of when they were angels!

Julia was the latter. Her soul had transformed when it fell into the hands of Samael. She could not remember the past, so she was generally unwilling to mention things related to her past memories.

She also knew that even if she could regain her memories, she would not be able to return to Heaven… This was what it meant to go deep into h.e.l.l and become a stranger from now on…

A loud roar came from the sky at this moment. Roy and Julia both looked up and found that it was a group of human planes. There was a very large number of them, and not only were there a large number of fighter jets but also bigger bombers and some airborne early warning and control aircraft. It was a complete combat group, and it seemed that the humans had still not given up on their counterattack.

Seeing the fighter jets, Julia remembered the scene of her being blasted by missiles and could not help but turn cold. “Human weapons… It seems like it’s true. Humans are indeed prepared. It was not in vain that angels and demons started the decisive battle of Judgment Day!”

Hearing this, Roy did not know what to say. Julia was obviously wrong. Although human weapons were powerful, they were still far from enough to deal with angels and demons It was absolute nonsense to say that they were prepared!

Facing the demon army led by the demon king and the Heaven army led by high-level angels, humans did not have much room to fight back. Only by using nuclear weapons would they be able to drag some enemies down with them. But once they used nuclear weapons, humanity was finished…

“I’m leaving now. I have to report the situation about the humans to His Majesty Samael!” Julia said. “In addition, the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse arriving so early is also different from what His Majesty expected. If he doesn’t take action, I’m afraid that no one can stop the Four Hors.e.m.e.n…” At this point, she looked at Roy. “Since you want to avoid the Four Hors.e.m.e.n, go farther away. The battle between His Majesty and the Four Hors.e.m.e.n will probably affect most of the world!”

“…” Roy continued to be speechless.

No, girl, you’re wrong again. The Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse might not be able to wait for Samael to take action!

She spread her wings and flew up. Before leaving, she suddenly asked, “That’s right, demon, what’s your name?”

“Osiris!” Roy replied. “Then, goodbye!” Julia did not say anything else and turned to fly away.
