The mont this figure appeared, the pervading holy light almost made Roy think that a powerful angel had erged from the spatial channel.
But after he erged from the spatial channel and slowly flew over, Roy saw that this guy was actually a human!
And it was a very flamboyant-looking human...
The golden half-mask that covered the left side of his face had a monocle at the eye position. This monocle had a golden chain tied to it, and the other end was tied to his earlobe. His robe and coat were gorgeous, and the tail feathers on his collar were not phoenix feathers but peacock feathers. To be precise, it looked like there was a peacock draped over his shoulders because beside his collarbone was a peacock’s head with the neck hanging down. In addition, on both sides of his sleeves and the bottom of his coat were long peacock feathers.
At first glance, it really looked like a peacock spreading its tail. Why was it so flashy...
After he flew closer, he stopped in midair, and the peacock feathers behind him opened completely. He raised his left hand, and a peacock feather appeared in it. He combed his ticulously grood hair with the feather and then slowly said, “Mundus, I haven’t heard from you for over twenty years. I thought you were dead... But looking at you now, you seem no different from being dead...”
His tone was low and feminine, and his words were full of sarcasm.
“Shut up, Balder!” Mundus roared. “Don’t talk to in that arrogant tone of yours!”
“Okay. Respectable Emperor of the Demon World, Eternal Supre, Sacred Father of Demons, Your Majesty Mundus, did you call here to ask to save you?” Balder slowly said as he flicked the peacock feather after finishing combing his hair, turning it into fragnts that scattered in all directions.
When Roy heard Balder’s voice, he thought, Seriously, he sounds like an old hermaphrodite!
“...” Mundus was likely trembling with anger, and he did not answer for a long ti. After a while, he said, “Balder, don’t forget the content of our cooperation. If I’m sealed again, your plan will also be finished!”
“Okay!” Balder sighed. Then he turned to look at Sparda. “Dark Knight Sparda, it’s an honor to et you again!”
Roy was stunned for a mont before asking Sparda quietly, “Do you know him?”
“... Yes!” Sparda let out a long sigh. “This guy is the last Lun Sage in the other world! I once entered that world by mistake and hunted angels with the Umbra Witches of that world, so I t this guy once...”
Lun Sage?! Umbra Witches?! Hunting angels?!
There was an explosion in Roy’s mind, and he imdiately understood! The twin world on the other side in Sparda’s mouth is actually the Bayonetta world?!
No wonder. Roy wondered why the strange angel that erged from the spatial channel felt vaguely familiar to him. Moreover, when Balder first appeared, he felt as though he had seen him sowhere before. So the world over there is the Bayonetta world with all kinds of bizarre angels...
This is really... Roy did not know what to say. He could only say that it was unexpected and reasonable.
Sparda was staring at Balder at this mont, so he did not notice Roy’s expression and continued to explain to Roy in a low voice, “He is indeed human, but he is a very special human. In the world over there, Lun Sages are the so-called ‘light clan’. They are born with affinity with holy light, and they are the humans with the closest connection to Heaven. And the Umbra Witches I ntioned earlier are similar humans, but they are the ‘dark clan’. The Witches have affinity with dark power, and they are connected to the Demon World...”
Roy nodded, indicating that he understood. But then he looked at Balder in puzzlent and then at Mundus’s body at his feet. “Why is a Lun Sage, a ‘person of light’, involved with Mundus, the Emperor of the Demon World?”
“I don’t know, but... do you rember what I said about Mundus disappearing from the Demon World for a while?” Sparda said. “I have long suspected that he went to the twin world and contacted the Umbra Witches there, so after returning, he obtained the ability to plunder Ouroboros Marks... But now, it seems like my guess was wrong. When Mundus went to the other world, he did not contact the Umbra Witches but the Lun Sages...”
Balder was not annoyed that Sparda did not respond to him. Instead, he quietly listened to the exchange between Roy and Sparda. After Sparda said this, he nodded. “That’s right. Many years ago, when His Majesty Mundus appeared on our side, I was the one who received him!”
“Aren’t Lun Sages on the side of the angels?” Roy frowned. “Or are you a fallen?”
“Fallen? What a vulgar term!” Balder shook his head slightly. “Make no mistake. We are Lun Sages, not angels. Just because we use the power of angels doesn’t an that we can’t use the power of demons! Moreover, His Majesty Mundus and I are only cooperating with each other, each taking what we need. How can you talk about being a fallen?”
F*ck! Why does this sound so familiar? It feels similar to ‘how can a scholar’s matter be called stealing’...
After Balder finished speaking, he suddenly stared at Roy. “How should I address this demon lord?”
“My na is Osiris!” Roy stared at him. “What advice do you have?”
“Your Lordship Osiris?” Balder reached out to hold his monocle. He spread open his right hand in front of him, and a thick book emitting golden light suddenly appeared in his palm.
The golden book began to flip through its pages automatically. A mont later, it stopped on one of the pages. Balder looked at the page for a while before nodding. “I see. You’re indeed a famous lord. I already know your battle achievents. No wonder His Majesty Mundus fell into the hands of you and Lord Sparda. It’s not surprising...”
“Huh?” Roy looked doubtfully at the book in Balder’s hand. “What is that?”
“A projection of the Book of Truth, a little thing in Heaven. It’s not worth ntioning!” Balder smiled, tossed, and the book disappeared.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense!” Sparda whispered to Roy. “It’s indeed a projection of the Book of Truth, but it’s definitely not so little thing. It’s a book that Heaven uses to record the true nas of extrely threatening demons. It contains almost all the nas of the demon lords and demon kings. Any place in the Infinite Worlds where a Heaven exists can obtain a projection of the Book of Truth and investigate the powerful demons encountered... Not only is your na in it, but mine is as well!”
“My true demon na?!” Roy imdiately beca vigilant and tightened his grip on Frostmourne. “Can this book be destroyed?”
“It’s impossible. Unless you can enter the true Heaven, defeat Archangels such as Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael, and destroy the original copy of the Book of Truth. Otherwise, even if you destroy what’s in Balder’s hands now, it won’t be long before this book is projected again...”
“This Book of Truth is a divine artifact that all demons want to destroy, but it’s also what demons are the most helpless about...” Sparda said expressionlessly. “Because it’s said that it’s a Legacy of the Creator left to Heaven...”
Hearing Sparda’s words, Roy was stunned and could only give up on this idea.
Too f*cking ruthless! I can’t afford to offend them! Goodbye!
At this mont, the atmosphere on the scene was very strange. Because of the sudden intruder, Balder, the scene fell into a deadlock. Although Roy and Sparda did not know what the cooperation between Balder and Mundus was, it was definitely not sothing good. Although Balder was only a Lun Sage, he was quite powerful. If he wanted to protect Mundus, then as long as he could restrain Roy and Sparda for a short ti, Mundus’s soul would definitely be able to escape.
Thinking of this, Roy looked at Sparda with an oblique expression, but the aning revealed was obvious. No matter what Balder wanted to do, the two of them had already gotten Mundus to this state with great difficulty, so they absolutely could not let all their efforts go to waste. The only solution now was for Roy to stall Balder while Sparda sealed Mundus as soon as possible.
Sparda understood the aning behind Roy’s eyes. He nodded slightly and clenched the demon sword in his hand.
However, just as the two of them were about to attack, a strange feeling suddenly spread throughout their bodies!
The surrounding scenery seed to have fallen into a kind of stagnation. Roy and Sparda raised their hands, wanting to swing their swords, but they were incomparably slow at this mont. All their senses seed to have entered a state of slowed ti.
Ti had truly slowed down! Roy and Sparda saw Balder land calmly, ca to the side of Mundus’s necrotic body, and stretched out his hand.
Then an incomparably large pitch-black ball of light erged from Mundus’s body. On this ball of light, a head extrely similar to Mundus’s evolved, and the three big eyeballs on it were clearly visible.
Needless to say, this was Mundus’s soul! When his soul left his body and flew into Balder’s hand, the voice of his soul shouted, “Quick! Get out of here!”
Roy and Sparda could only watch helplessly. They could not stop them at all because their arms had only currently raised about five centiters...
After holding Mundus’s soul in his hand, Balder flew up again and arrived at the spatial channel in the air. Only then did the ti-slowing effect on Roy and Sparda abruptly disappear!
The mont the effect disappeared, Roy and Sparda reacted quickly. They imdiately spread their wings and charged toward Balder.
Balder’s clean and smooth forehead was full of sweat at this mont. It seed that using his ability to forcibly slow down the ti of the two demon lords had placed an imnse burden on him. After seeing two of them rushing over, he did not dare to fight Roy and Sparda at all. After casually shooting out several peacock feathers, he turned around and entered the spatial channel!
“Damn it!” After swatting the peacock feathers away with his sword, Sparda stopped at the entrance of the spatial channel. He did not rashly chase after them. But he was extrely angry that Mundus and Balder managed to escape.
“What happened just now?” Roy stopped beside Sparda and looked at his hands in puzzlent.
“That is a special ability of the Lun Sages—Sage Ti!” Sparda explained. “They, like the Umbra Witches, can control ti for a short period. In fact, it’s not that our ti slows down, but that his ti becos faster, so we can’t resist this effect...”
“Sage Ti?” Roy could not help but look strange after hearing this term. I can also enter this state, and I’m very familiar with it! Every ti after I’m with Julia and Benia, I will enter this state...
