Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 191 Undead Army

Hearing Roy’s request, the watcher could not help but be stunned for a while. She looked Roy up and down before saying in disbelief, “You want me to help you open a spatial channel to the Charred Council?! You... do you know what you want to do?!”

The watcher was Envy in disguise. Through using the unique possession ability of the Seven Deadly Sins to occupy the original watcher’s body, she was able to hide from the Charred Council. The reason why she had put in so much effort to pretend and hide was to take revenge for being imprisoned. You had to know that such an incomparably long prison life often led people to the extremes of madness. In a certain world, there was a blind man named Illidan that was almost on the verge of madness after being imprisoned for ten thousand years. And the Seven Deadly Sins had been imprisoned for even longer, so it was conceivable how deep their hatred for the Charred Council was.

However, most of the other Seven Deadly Sins buried this hatred in their hearts because they knew that their strength was not enough to fight the Charred Council. Only Envy, this Seven Deadly Sin who was at the edge of madness, had taken actions to take revenge. She knew that if she relied on herself alone, she had absolutely no hope of revenge. So from the beginning, she had made up her mind to take the powers of her siblings, the powers of the other Seven Deadly Sins, in order to gather all the powers of the Seven Deadly Sins to take revenge on the Charred Council.

Before this, Envy was naturally lacking confidence. Now, like the other Seven Deadly Sins, she roughly had the strength of a high-rank demon, and she was even inferior to Julia. After all, the long period of imprisonment had drained a lot of their strength, so it was impossible for her to retaliate against the Charred Council.

She also admitted that Roy was stronger than her, but only by a bit. He could not achieve the crushing suppression of a demon lord. No matter what, Roy was still a high-rank demon, but a high-rank demon actually wanted to enter the Charred Council Space?!

It was a widely-recognized forbidden area, and all illegal intrusions would be dealt with severely by the Charred Council... What was this demon thinking to be so audacious?

Roy’s pair of demon eyes glowed faintly in the darkness. Roy did not respond to Envy’s surprise and only said, “Just say if you agree or disagree!”

“... Sure. If you want to die, I won’t stop you!” Envy nodded. “I am possessing the body of a watcher, and the watchers are creatures created by the Charred Council. This body naturally has the key to entering the alternate space of the Charred Council. At that time, you only need to follow me, and you can enter the Charred Council Space!”

With that, Envy stretched out her hand toward Roy. “Now that we’ve reached a deal, can you give me the Talisman of Sin?”.

But unexpectedly, Roy shook his head. “No, I can’t give it to you now!”

“Why?! Do you want to go back on your word?” Envy asked with gritted teeth.

“No. Since I said it, I will give you the Talisman of Sin, but now is not the time!” Roy said. “Don’t forget that I have an agreement with the Horseman Fury. I have to hand this Talisman of Sin to her first!”

“Damn it!” Envy floated around in the air and said angrily, “If you give her the talisman, how can I get it back?! I specially snuck out to find you, and this is the answer you give me?!”

“Don’t worry!” Roy said calmly. “If I hand the talisman to Fury, it means that my transaction with her has been completed. As long as I get what she promised, the rest has nothing to do with me. It’s not my problem who ends up with the Talisman of Sin, right?”

Hearing this, the three pairs of eyes on Envy’s head immediately sparkled, emitting a faint light. She said to Roy in a very meaningful tone, “You mean you want me to snatch the Talisman of Sin from Fury?”

“Don’t make it sound like I’m instigating you!” Roy pointed his finger at Envy. “Didn’t you have this idea from the beginning? Otherwise, why didn’t you pretend to be someone else but instead pretend to a watcher? From the beginning, didn’t you hide beside Fury for this final moment? You knew that when the Seven Deadly Sins escaped, the Charred Council would definitely send a Horseman of the Apocalypse to hunt you down. After all, it was the Four Horsemen who caught you before, so only the Horsemen can capture all of you. The other Seven Deadly Sins were wary of you, so the only chance for you to gather all the souls of the Seven Deadly Sins is when the Horseman finishes all the captures... Am I right?”

“...” The strange pairs of eyes on Envy’s head flickered faster and faster. Clearly, Roy’s words exposed her original plan!

She was unwilling to admit it, and Roy did not want to force her to admit it, so he continued, “I’ll hand over the talisman to Fury first. This point can’t be changed, and I have to do it. But it’s not like you don’t have a chance. Moreover, cooperating with me is beneficial for you. Give me three days to prepare. Three days later, bring Fury to my castle. After completing the deal, she’ll probably rush back to report. At that time, I’ll think of a way to create an opportunity for you to seize the talisman. I only want you to promise me that you’ll come back after getting the talisman and bring me in!”

“Aren’t you worried that I won’t fulfill my promise and directly go seek revenge on the Charred Council after getting the talisman?” Envy asked while floating in place after circling twice.

“I believe you aren’t stupid. With my people entering with you and helping you distract the council, won’t your chances of completing your revenge be much higher?” Roy said with a grin.

Hearing this, Envy sighed, and her shoulders drooped. She spread her hands and said, “All right. I knew that making a deal with a devil is terrible business because devils are too good at bewitching people...”

Roy could not be bothered to correct what Envy called him. “So, has a deal been reached?”

“Yes!” Envy nodded.

“Okay, you go back first! I still need to sleep!” Roy turned over and laid back on the bed.

Envy did not say anything and just floated away from the window. A while later, after Envy left, Julia pushed Roy, who was pretending to be asleep. “Are you really planning to enter the Charred Council’s world?”

“That’s right, but I won’t go in so foolishly!” Roy straightened up and sat by the bed. “Didn’t Lilith say it? Fury has been investigating the situation of Corruption power and has also come into contact with Death. She should know that the Horsemen of the Apocalypse are being used as pawns by the Charred Council... Envy has always been by Fury’s side as a watcher, representing the Charred Council. So once the watcher revolts at the last moment, Fury’s trust in the Charred Council will instantly plummet. Even if she doesn’t immediately rebel against the Charred Council, she’ll have lost the Talisman of Sin and won’t be able to complete the mission. If the council punishes her, then she might suffer the same fate as War. Like this, the Charred Council won’t be able to make use of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, its biggest card. If Envy really can cause havoc in the Charred Council, at that time, it’ll be our best chance to find the Red Sea Egg!”

“Understood!” Julia nodded. “However, if we enter together with Envy, we’ll probably directly face the three councilors of the Charred Council. Moreover, besides the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the council also has a large army. This can’t be ignored.”

“So we need to confuse their eyes.” Roy smiled and clapped his hands.

A moment later, more than a dozen black figures suddenly appeared in the darkness. These black figures were wearing long robes and bowed to Roy. “Assemble the army!” Roy did not say anything else. With this order, the black figures nodded slightly and then left.

As the breeze blew, not only did the torches in the corridor shake, but it also blew the corners of the black figures’ robes. With sharp eyes, you could see... bones covered under the black robes!

That’s right. Over the past three years, Roy had used his demon blood to awaken thirteen liches!

During these three years, Roy had been thinking about how to complete the mission Lilith had given him. This much time was enough for him to plan everything, including making an undead army!

At the very beginning, Roy wanted to summon Cassandra from the Pirates of the Caribbean world. Roy had Cassandra’s soul, and he only needed to use this soul to summon her. But after thinking about it, Roy chose not to do so. It had not been long since he left that world, and Roy did not know how her strength had evolved, so there was no need to waste a large amount of magic power to summon her.

Therefore, he used the local materials and his demon blood to create thirteen liches in this world.

In fact, these thirteen liches were different from Cassandra. Frost demon blood was essential during the lich transformation ritual, but frost demon blood alone was not enough. Cassandra’s situation was special. She had sacrificed her soul to Roy as she was about to die, so Roy used her own soul to create an intelligent lich like Cassandra. In comparison, these thirteen liches were defective. They did not have souls and did not have intelligence. Why did this happen? That was because all the liches Roy created this time were made with corpses that had been dead for a long time.

The souls of these corpses had long dissipated or been plundered, so even if they received frost demon blood and moved again, they did not have much intelligence left. Moreover, the longer they had been dead, the worse the effect after awakening. In the past three years, Roy had given out a lot of demon blood and created many liches, but only these thirteen were truly relatively strong. Through long-term observation, Roy found that it was impossible for a lich like this to evolve like Cassandra. They could not even absorb life force and could only rely on the thin magic power in Roy’s demon blood to exist. They did not even have phylacteries, and once their bodies were destroyed, they would be finished. They could not even be called true liches.

Fortunately, Roy had not had much hope for them. As long as they had some magic power, it was enough. Below the thirteen liches, there were some weaker liches, about a hundred of them in total. These hundred liches could use their undead magic to create low-level undead like skeleton soldiers or zombies, and Roy could use them to assemble an army of tens of thousands of undead quickly...

At that time, the first to follow Envy into the Charred Council Space would be this undead army...
