Chapter 225 Well of Darkness

Chapter 225 Well of Darkness

After riding Fat Tiger for a walk, Roy and Julia did not feel anything, but the other high-rank demons nearby Black Brilliance Castle were shocked.

There was indeed no lack of large demons in the Abyss, but this was the first time they had seen such an enormous hellhound. Generally speaking, most demons like hellhounds were only at the middle-rank demon level. However, Fat Tiger’s firm muscles made every high-rank demon not dare to underestimate his strength.

Thanks to Fat Tiger, the high-rank demons around Black Brilliance Castle all knew that the castle had changed its master. And this new demon had a huge mutated hellhound, not to mention the high-rank fallen angel, leaving a deep impression on the nearby demons.

There were also a few high-rank demons like Benia that tried to greet Roy through the projection pool. Roy did not reject them. After all, at the high-rank demon level, there were much fewer conflicts and many more interactions and exchanges of information among them. This was extremely useful for Roy.

The increase in Fat Tiger’s strength had come to an end. Next was Julia.

In fact, during the three years of staying in the Darksiders world, Roy had asked Julia about how fallen angels improved their strength.

Fallen angels were very interesting. They neither belonged to angels nor demons, and they could be regarded as a form in between. Julia told Roy that pure angels evolved and promoted through training holy power. This was entirely different from demons, who devoured souls to increase their power. Although angels were also looking for souls, the souls they sought were noble souls with self-dedication and sacrifice. This was because as long as these souls were bathed in holy power, it was quite easy to turn them into holy souls. And having holy souls meant that new angels could be born.

Therefore, fallen angels in the form in between like Julia had formed a strange phenomenon. They could not devour souls like demons, but they could train dark power similar to angels!

The two most abundant elements in the Abyss were dark elements and fire elements. Precisely because of these characteristics, the strength of fallen angels rose rather quickly. But it was said that it was probably because of the first fallen angel of the Abyss, Lucifer. As a fallen angel, he was an existence on par with the Deadly Sin Demon Kings, causing the demons of the Abyss to be wary of fallen angels. Therefore, fallen angels like Julia were secretly restricted.

This was also the reason why a second Lucifer had never appeared in the Abyss-of course, it might also be that Lucifer was already extremely powerful before he fell. He was originally a top seraph...

Back in the Darksiders world, Julia had told Roy that her strength had not grown much, and she did not know what was going on either. But when Julia returned with Roy and finally went to meet Samael, who knew what Samael was thinking when he actually removed this restriction for her. This way, Julia could train dark power again.

The two pairs of fallen angel wings on Julia’s back had already turned into black flames. This was a manifestation of dark power and the flames of recovery in her body. In fact, it was no longer appropriate to call Julia’s flames hellfire. The dark flame power that she had now should be called a very unique ‘Abyss Fire’!

The power of flames could actually combine with many other powers. If it combined with holy power, it would be holy flames! When combined with dark power, it would be hellfire! However, the strange thing about Julia’s flames was that they more or less contained the characteristics of the three powers. The flames were black, which was the characteristic of fusing with dark power, but they also had the recovery characteristic of holy power. Not only could they restore physical wounds, but they could even repair damaged armor. It was very unbelievable.

This reminded Roy of Samael’s last words. He had told Julia to return to her original world if she had the chance.

Could there be something special about Julia’s identity? Roy guessed. Then he tried to see if he could think of ways to improve Julia’s strength.

At this moment, he could see the benefits of communicating with other high-rank demons. About five hundred kilometers east of Black Brilliance Castle, there was a demon castle called ‘Broken Blade’, whose owner was a high-rank demon named Hesk. Hesk was also an elemental demon, but he was an elemental demon who used dark power and was very good at using cursing magic. Before Roy occupied Black Brilliance Castle, he had been exchanging resources with the original master of the castle, Delt, because the demon obsidian produced near Black Brilliance Castle contained powerful dark elements. After Roy chased Delt away, Hesk could only trade with Roy. After paying a lot of demon obsidian, Roy successfully obtained the method to make the Well of Darkness from Hesk.

The so-called Well of Darkness was actually a method to condense the omnipresent dark elements in the Abyss. It also required a lot of demon obsidian and a small amount of other ores.

According to what Hesk said, Roy found a place in Black Brilliance Castle and ordered the demon puppets to dig a circular shallow pit about sixty-six centimeters deep. He filled it up with demon obsidian before using the metal juices smelted from several other special ores to draw a special magic formation and engraving demon characters around the edge of the shallow pit.

After completing the magic formation and inputting magic power to activate it, Roy found that at the bottom of the shallow pit, dark elements began to gather gradually like a thick fog. These dark elements, which were as dense as ink, turned into an ink-like liquid after touching the demon obsidian and finally converged in the shallow pit.

A few hours later, the sixty-six centimeters deep pit was almost full of the liquid-like dark elements!

And this was the so-called Well of Darkness!

After seeing the Well of Darkness, Julia immediately felt the powerful dark power within it. She had never thought of using a magic formation to restrain dark elements in a fixed range before...

Under Roy’s instructions, Julia untied her armor, lay down in the Well of Darkness, and began to ‘bathe’! Although the black liquid was actually not water at all, but a product of the highly condensed dark elements, this Well of Darkness was simply too wonderful for a fallen angel like Julia, who controlled the power of darkness. It was so comfortable that she moaned.

“Train well here!” Roy said to her. “I have to say that you’re really lucky. You didn’t choose other demon castles but chose this Black Brilliance Castle. If not for this place, I might not have found so much demon obsidian to build this Well of Darkness...”

“Hmph!” Julia felt that it was just right and could not help but say proudly, “It was because I sensed the rich dark power here, okay!”

Roy really could not refute this. Perhaps this was the instinct of fallen angels.

Fortunately, Julia quickly fell asleep in the Well of Darkness. Roy knew that she might sleep here for a while to absorb the dark elements, so he quietly left.

After returning to the castle lord’s hall, Roy sat down on his Frozen Throne, found the demon puppet Cagruze, and asked him to urge the other demon puppets to step up the mining of the demon obsidian. Although Cagruze looked very ugly, he was still capable of doing things and quickly went to obey his orders.

Now that Julia had entered deep sleep, and Fat Tiger was kicked out because of his size, Roy was the only one left in the hall. Only then did Roy calm down and remember something.

When Roy fused with Uriel’s soul earlier, he found that there was a very short memory in the deepest part of Uriel’s soul. Roy was naturally very curious about this memory that could not be erased during the corruption transformation. But he did not have much time to examine it carefully at that time, and since returning to the Abyss, he had been busy and almost forgot about it...

Now that he remembered and had time, Roy began to look through the last memory left behind by Uriel’s soul...
