Chapter 217 Return

Looking at Samael laughing loudly, Roy lowered his head, but his mind was thinking strangely. If Julia and I had used up the black dragon blood that Lilith had given, how would Samael have escaped?

Perhaps at that time, Julia and I would have to go and visit Lilith again? But did Lilith have so much dragon blood?

Julia knelt on one knee and said excitedly, “Your Majesty Samael, congratulations!

Samael finally stopped laughing. He looked at Julia and then at Roy beside her. “Julia, you did well. Although there was a small accident that prevented me from contacting Lilith after being sealed, I didn’t expect you to go to Lilith after leaving. Your loyalty is worthy of praise!”

“This is what I should do,” Julia said humbly.

“No!” Samael shook his head. “Loyalty must be rewarded. This is a demon law of the Abyss!”

With that, Samael’s sharp claws gently waved over Julia’s head. A black light flashed, and Julia, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly let out a painful grunt. Immediately afterward, the two pairs of fallen angel wings on her back changed.

The black h.e.l.lfire flames burned and devoured Julia’s two pairs of wings. The flames did not dissipate for a long time before finally stabilizing, and Julia’s two pairs of fallen angel wings turned into black flame wings!

Roy looked at this scene in surprise. He found that after Julia’s wings changed, the magic power pressure emanating from her increased dramatically!

Is this… power bestowed by Samael?

No, that’s not right. Samael’s own power is now suppressed, so how could he give others power?

Before Roy could figure it out, Samael said, “Julia, when you and the other personal guards were created, you had a restriction in your bodies. This restriction was originally a control method to prevent the possibility of fallen angels rebelling. But now that you have used your loyalty to prove yourself, I have removed this restriction for you and returned the power that originally belonged to you!”

Hearing this, Roy suddenly realized. No wonder. There is such an unspoken rule…

Roy was right. This was indeed an unspoken rule among the demon big shots of the Abyss. Although they had used various methods to tempt and corrode angels, turning them into fallen angels, just like mentioned before, fallen angels were not the same species as demons. The notion that those who were not of the race must have different minds was also very popular among demons. Demons loved and hated the existence of fallen angels, and the position of fallen angels in the Abyss was extremely awkward. Under such circ.u.mstances, the big shots who could create fallen angels would have all sorts of concerns and secretly restrict the fallen angels.

This was also the true reason why fallen angels were mostly at the high-rank demon level. It was not that they could no longer improve, but that the demon big shots controlled this method of improvement…

But now, for unknown considerations, Samael actually removed this restriction for Julia, causing her strength to rise substantially in an instant, and there was also a possibility of her breaking through in the future.

After hearing Samael’s words, Julia did not know what to think, but she still lowered her head and said, “Thank you for your bestowment, Your Majesty Samael.”

Turning around, Samael looked at Roy. “Demon Osiris, you did well. I’ve removed Julia’s restriction, which means that she will be free from now on. Since you’ve become partners, you can take her away!” Roy nodded. “Thank you, Your Majesty Samael!”

“All right, since I’ve appeared in the main world, you’ve completed your task!” Samael said. “Leave this place, or else you might not be able to leave later!” Julia was taken aback. “Your Majesty, what do you mean?”

“Abaddon, the Destroyer, sealed me and seized the authority of the demon army, but he could not kill me after all, so he was worried that I would break free.” Samael laughed. “He chose four Chosen and bestowed them with power, then used them to monitor the sealed place. After obtaining the power of the Destroyer, these four Chosen became existences at the demon lord level. Since I’ve appeared in the main world, these people monitoring me will soon notice and will definitely come to check. If you don’t want to die, then leave quickly!” Julia wanted to say something, but Roy’s heart stirred, and he quickly pulled her quietly to stop her. Then Roy said to Samael, “Understood, Your Majesty. We’ll leave now!”

Samael saw Roy and Julia’s movements and looked at Roy playfully.

Roy did not wait for his command as he pulled Julia back to leave. Before they went too far, Samael said, “Oh, right, Julia, if you have a chance, maybe you can go back to your previous world to take a look!”

“Yes, Your Majesty Samael!” Julia replied.

Julia’s previous world? The Devil May Cry world? What is the meaning of Samael’s words?

Roy’s mind raced, but he did not stop and hurriedly left the sealed place with Julia.

After they were far away, Julia asked Roy in a low voice, “Why did you stop me from speaking just now?”

“You must have wanted to say something like, ‘if the Chosen come, we’ll help Your Majesty Samael deal with them’, right?” Roy replied in a low voice. “Don’t joke around. Let’s not talk about whether we can deal with the four demon lords. Do you think that with the pride of Demon King Samael, he would allow two high-rank demons to help him fight?”

In fact, Roy left something unsaid. After hearing the name Chosen, Roy had already understood. After the Horseman of the Apocalypse War returned in the future, these four Chosen would probably be the bargaining chips for reaching a deal with Samael. The magic power of the hearts of these four Chosen was the key to Samael’s recovery of power.

If Samael and Lilith’s plan was to instigate the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse, then Samael would definitely not let anyone else kill these four Chosen!

Otherwise, if Samael wanted to break free from the restraint of the seal, why would he not use Roy and Julia, two people connected to Lilith? Even if Roy and Julia were not strong enough to deal with the four demon lords, why couldn’t Samael get them to go to the Black Stone Throne to find Lilith for help?

Therefore, Roy had already understood when Samael was eager to get Julia and him to leave. To Samael, Roy and Julia’s task had indeed been completed, which was to build the altar to allow him to appear in the main world. Since Roy and Julia finished the task, Samael could not let them stay in the way, causing variables in the subsequent plans.

Roy had deduced all of this based on various situations, so he pulled Julia away urgently.

However, he was curious about how Samael and Lilith’s arrangements were so closely interlinked. What was the basis of their judgment on the situation? Were they so confident that the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse would betray the Charred Council?

In fact, Samael and Lilith’s plans stemmed from an event that happened many years ago, when Samael was still in the Black Stone Throne.

At that time, Samael was resting alone in the Black Stone Throne, but suddenly, an unexpected visitor appeared. This person was Death of the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse. At first, Samael thought that Death had received orders from the Charred Council to a.s.sa.s.sinate him. But then he discovered that it did not seem to be the case. The appearance of Death was an action without the permission of the Charred Council!

And most importantly, Death came to Samael only for a demon key in his hand.

After a battle with Death, Samael realized that something was amiss, so he readily gave the demon key and let Death leave.

After Death left, Samael pondered for a long time and finally realized that Death should have come through time. In other words, something big must have happened in the future, causing Death to have no choice but to seek help from Lilith. And through Lilith’s time magic, he returned to the past to find him!

History affected the future, and in turn, the future affected history. This was the power of time magic. After having such a clue, Samael naturally had to do something. He knew that he might disappear for a while in the future, so when Lilith tempted Abaddon into becoming the Destroyer, he took the opportunity of the Destroyer seizing power to pretend that he was no match and became sealed, using this to verify the future…

It was too complicated to explain, but there was no doubt that Samael and Lilith’s plan had indeed succeeded. Be it was the angels or the Charred Council, they were both played in their hands…

Roy and Julia had unknowingly played their roles in this history, but next was the scenes of a group of big shots and the Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse. With their current strength, they could not interfere too much in this drama.

Roy also realized this, so after leaving the sealed place, he brought Julia, who had already obtained freedom, back to the Abyss Outpost and planned to return to the Abyss…
