Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 197 One of the Councilors

These strange undead skeletons, let’s call them strange undead for now.

There were quite a number of strange undead, and when the first batch of undead climbed out of the ground and attacked Roy, there were still skeletons climbing out from farther and farther behind.

However, after exchanging blows, Roy quickly discovered that these strange undead were not all strong. Their strengths were uneven, and the stronger ones could reach the level of high-rank demons, but the weaker ones were only about the same as low-rank demons.

This difference in strengths seemed to reflect mainly in the age of their bones. The bones that looked fresh were stronger, while the decayed and older ones were weaker. This caused Roy to realize that the magic power of these strange undead seemed to come from their bones.

This made Roy feel very puzzled. In his impression, a creature with magic power should derive it from their flesh and blood body. Just like Roy, his current source of magic power was his demon heart, so he had always thought that flesh and blood were the vessels that carried magic power. But why could these undead skeletons with only bones preserve their original magic power in their bones?

Is it because these undead were special when they were alive, or is this a characteristic originating from the Red Sea Egg?

Roy used Ice Block, placing himself in the extremely thick ice shield, and allowed these numerous undead to attack him because he found that only the undead with the strength of high-rank demons and undead who knew how to use the power of holy light could cause him some damage. The other undead were not much of a threat, despite there being a lot of them. Many of them were old, and even if Roy did not make a move, they might break their legs during the exercise...

Under the protection of Ice Block, Roy only needed to maintain his magic power output, which allowed him to observe the situation of these undead.

With this observation, Roy immediately discovered the situation of the magic power of these undead gradually declining as they continuously used magic to attack him!

Now, Roy finally understood. It seemed like the magic power of these undead could only be regarded as some kind of magic power deposit phenomenon. In other words, they might have had relatively powerful magic power when they were alive, but after their deaths, this magic power was only stored in their corpses and was one-time use. After losing their flesh and blood bodies, the magic power of the undead could not be replenished, and it would be gone once completely used

up!

Roy initially thought that these fellows guarding the Red Sea Egg would be stronger, so he had made a more cautious plan. But after seeing this situation, Roy finally felt relieved and immediately began to fight back!

Black frost began to sweep through, and all the undead attacking Roy immediately froze. They fell from the air, breaking into bone fragments when they hit the ground. And the range of Roy’s cold aura was expanding with his magic power output... He planned to end this quickly, getting rid of these undead as soon as possible before leaving with the Red Sea Egg. After all... anything could happen if he took too long.

Let us rewind the time a little.

Just as Roy was trying to pull out the Red Sea Egg, hundreds of kilometers away, a battle was taking place where the Charred Council’s three councilor statues were.

Envy came back, and her goal was very clear. Once she entered this space, she went straight for the statues.

After coming here, she immediately launched an attack on the statues of the councilors. All kinds of attacks bombarded the statues, causing them to fly all over, and at the same time, her violent laughter of revenge filled this area.

“Come out! You rotten people who only know how to hide in tombstones!” Envy held a longsword in one hand and slashed a sword beam at a statue. The gun in another hand kept firing bullets at another statue.

She knew very well that these three statues were actually substitutes for the councilors of the Charred Council. These magically-constructed statues connected to the true bodies of the councilors, allowing them to communicate with each other and observe images. And the true bodies of the councilors were buried under these statues, where they truly lived, which was why Envy called them ‘tombstones!

In fact, during the tens of thousands of years of being imprisoned, Envy had not actually seen the true bodies of the three councilors. She only knew that they were in the endless lava under these statues, but she could not determine their exact location, so she could only attack these statues first in order to force the councilors out.

Facing Envy’s curses and attacks, the councilors responded to her with several extremely large exploding fireballs. However, when the fireballs came, Envy dodged them agilely and continued to attack them.

“Come out! You guys who only know how to hide and watch others secretly! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to!” Envy roared as she attacked. “Not only did you deceive everyone in the name of the Creator, but you also wanted to steal the authority of the Creator and become gods. Do you think you can hide your ambitions from everyone?!”

“Shut up!” The statue on the left angrily launched another fireball at Envy while roaring, “With the mere strength of a demon lord, do you think you can do whatever you want here?!”

“So what? Even if I’m not strong enough, do you dare to appear?” Envy laughed. “Now, numerous enemies have poured into the Charred Council. As long as I restrain you here, they can destroy this world!”

“You call those inferior undead and demons enemies? How absurd! The council’s army will soon destroy them, and you will be the same...” the statue in the middle said angrily. But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to realize something. A moment later, the statue in the middle suddenly roared, “Damn it! Someone actually wants to take the Red Sea Egg away! Who is it?!”

The statue on the right said in a gloomy tone, “There’s no need to ask. It must be Envy colluding with that slut Lilith to steal the Red Sea Egg!” “Stop them! We must stop them!” the statue on the left roared.

Envy had not reacted at first, but after finally figuring it out, she could not help but burst out laughing. She thought that the one who touched the Red Sea Egg was definitely Demon Osiris, who had entered with her. His goal here was probably the Red Sea egg, but... the councilors of the Charred Council seemed to think that it was Lilith!

Therefore, Envy did not expose him at all. She only attacked the statues with all her might, pretending to want to restrain them.

The three councilors were very angry at this moment. They could not go because of this audacious fellow Envy, but they could not lose the Red Sea Egg either. In particular, it could not fall into Lilith’s hands again.

“We have to stop it! But who is going to go?” The statue on the left emitted a silent ripple and communicated with the other two.

“Should we have War go? He’s the only Horseman here now!” said the statue on the right.

“No, if we have him go, we’ll have to return his power to him. This will ruin our original plan!” objected the statue in the middle.

“Forget it. Since that won’t work, I’ll go!” said the statue on the left.

“...” The other two statues remained silent, seeming to have tacitly agreed.

The ground suddenly began to shake. The magma below the statues began to surge continuously, and the ground on the platform where Envy was standing was trembling. She stared at the magma lake below in panic, feeling shocked in her heart.

Although her original goal was to force the councilors out and see who these people hiding behind the scenes were, she still felt extremely terrified when a councilor was really about to appear.

Although she was now at the demon lord level, she knew very well that this bit of power was not enough against the councilors. They could suppress Heaven and Hell at the same time and could also make the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse work for them. The hidden power of the Charred Council was not something she could withstand.

As the magma surged, a wingtip first appeared and then slowly rose. Finally, a six-winged angel wrapped in wings appeared!

With a whoosh, the angel spread his huge wings and showed his body in front of Envy.

“Wh-what?!” Envy’s voice trembled. She pointed at the six-winged angel and screamed in horror, “You... you’re an incarnation of Raphael?!”
