While speaking, Mundus had already crawled out of the charred shell.
Due to it being a new body, the exposed flesh and fascia on his body looked more pink and tender than before. It really felt like there was a hint of rosiness in the white. This made Mundus slightly uncomfortable but also very angry.
How many years has it been? How long has it been since my main body suffered such severe injuries?
Now, he was actually injured to this extent by a demon lord. It truly made Mundus feel ashamed.
However, what he was more concerned about was what Roy said just now. What did he mean by âyou shouldnât speak in absolutesâ?
Thus, he subconsciously checked his new body and immediately found that something was wrong.
The new body was indeed fine, but in his self-perception, he found that he had lost about a tenth of his soul! Although this missing part was slowly recovering under the power of the Ouroboros Mark, it was undoubtedly caused by the lightning ball just now!
âBastard! Damn it!â Mundus was so angry that he was about to explode. He roared at Roy, âWhat the hell did you just do?!â
Roy grinned sinisterly. Judging from Mundusâs reaction, his attack seemed to be effective.
When Roy condensed the lightning into a ball and kicked it back, he had not only used Mundusâs own power but also added something! When condensing the lightning, Roy had injected his Dark Lightning magic power into the lightning ball to serve as its core to attract other lightning power. When the lightning ball was kicked back and exploded on Mundus, the Dark Lightning in the core naturally erupted.
In magic, different elements could be fused. The more similar the attributes of the elements, the easier it was to fuse. Even opposing elements could be fused together under certain conditions, and this type of âmixed attributeâ magic often had special effects.
Dark Lightning, lightning infused with dark power, was the so-called âYin Lightningâ. For enemies weaker than Roy, the power of Dark Lightning could even directly annihilate their souls. And even for experts like Mundus, Dark Lightning would cause damage to their souls.
Roy now had seven elemental powers, and most of them were special âmixed elementsâ. This was the real reason why his combat strength was outstanding at the same level. He was always able to develop different tactical attacks against different opponents. When he observed the battle between Sparda and Mundus earlier, he discovered that Mundusâs recovery ability was indeed beyond imagination. Instead of continuously attacking his body to consume him, it was better to think of ways to attack his soul directly.
Because Sparda was good at swordsmanship, his attacks on Mundus were mainly physical damage, so he could only exert force on Mundusâs body. But when he announced Mundusâs true name, he could often cause more effective damage to Mundus. This was because his true name was connected to his soul! Therefore, even though Mundusâs soul was immortal, his soul could still be injured!
This was actually very simple logic. The immortality of souls did not mean that souls were invincible. Of course, they could be injured. At most, compared to others, Mundus could recover even if his soul was damaged, but others could notâŠ
The biggest difference between Roy and Sparda was that Roy could use energy attacks. So even if he did not know Mundusâs true name, he could still attack his soul directly.
Moreover, the power of Dark Lightning could strike a double blow to the soul and bodyâŠ
This was also why Roy dared to step forward and take over the battle despite discovering that Mundusâs magic power was so powerful. As long as Mundus had not become a true demon king, and the nature of his magic power had not undergone a qualitative change, Roy was confident that he could fight him. After all, if the victor and loser could be determined by the amount of magic power, then what was the point of fighting? Wouldnât it be better just to stand together and compare who had more magic power?
Seeing Mundusâs flustered and exasperated appearance, Roy did not say anything. He stretched out his hand and summoned Frostmourne again. He poured magic power into the sword, and black lightning spread out from Frostmourne, causing the eyes of the skull at the sword hilt to emit a faint black light.
Frostmourne sent a wave of yearning thoughts to Roy, its master. It had already tasted Mundusâs blood, which made it have a great desire for his soul, wanting to devour his soul to strengthen itself.
When Mundus saw Royâs demon sword again, he subconsciously stopped roaring angrily. The strange curse effects earlier were still fresh in his mind. Moreover, even now, the increased world repulsive force was still acting on him. Although it was not enough to expel him from this world, it forced him to consume more magic power to resist this repulsive force, affecting the battle greatly.
âWho are you?â Mundus calmed down slightly and asked in a deep voice, âWhen did the Abyss have a powerful demon like you?â
Yes, Mundus now regarded Roy as the most troublesome and worthy opponent he had encountered so far. It could be said that he attached more importance to Roy than SpardaâŠ
âMy name is Osiris!â Roy raised Frostmourne with one hand and pointed the tip at Mundus. âFrom the Abyss!â
âOsirisâŠâ Mundusâs bloated body took a step back, and he said in a deep voice, âAny demon from the Abyss must have something they want. Why are you here? If youâre only hostile to me because I snatched your Ouroboros Mark, then I can return it to you!â
âOh? Sure enough, you can still return it!â Roy lowered the tip of his sword slightly. He spread his wings and floated in the air as he said to Mundus, âIâm really curious. What method did you use to interfere with the will of the Gate of the Abyss and transfer the Ouroboros Marks?â
Mundus wanted to answer, but he suddenly realized something and said unhappily, âDamn it. Are you trying to trick me? Are you coveting this ability?â
Yo, discovered?
Roy smirked and nodded. âCanât you say it? If you satisfy my curiosity, I might turn around and return to the Abyss after getting my mark back!â
âImpossible!â Mundusâs three eyes stared intently at Roy. âIâm also a demon, so I wonât believe what another demon says so easily. I know very well that if you really obtain this ability, you absolutely wonât give up and return obediently. This is a shortcut to becoming a demon king. Youâre a demon lord, so unless you donât want to promote, you wonât give up on attaining an immortal soul!â
Roy did not say anything. Mundus was right. Even if he really told Roy the method of transferring Ouroboros Marks, it was impossible for Roy to experiment with it in another world. After all, there was a ready-made existence in front of him that had already seized the marks of billions of demons. Couldnât Roy just directly snatch Mundusâs mark?
It would save time and effortâŠ
Mundus was not fooled. After realizing Royâs true intentions, he understood that it was impossible for Roy, this enemy who suddenly appeared, to retreat. In that case, he could only fight!
The loss and damage to the soul had an effect on the combat strength of the body. Needless to say, Mundus was talking to Roy just now to delay time. Taking advantage of this time, he had already repaired his soul under the power of the mark.
Although Mundus still needed to divert a lot of magic power to resist the world repulsive effect due to the power of Frostmourneâs Expulsion curse, in any case, he could exert at least ninety percent of his magic power after repairing his soul.
As long as I protect myself and donât let my opponentâs power hurt me, then the final victory will definitely be mine!
While Mundus thought this, he condensed his immense magic power.
âWall of Sighs!!â
All the clawed legs on Mundusâs body made a blooming posture at the same time, and then an incomparably thick semicircular light screen appeared, covering his entire body in it.
This thick light screen was a dark, translucent color and arranged together by countless tiny hexagonal grids to protect Mundus tightly like an enormous turtle shell.
A.T Field?!
Roy almost subconsciously shouted out this name when he saw the light screen.
It could not be helped. Mundusâs shield of light really looked like an A.T. FieldâŠ
And Mundus actually named this shield the âWall of Sighsâ. It showed that he had tremendous confidence in the defensive capabilities of this shield. Roy just did not know if this shield was really like an âabsolute territoryâ that no one could violateâŠ
Seeing Mundus activate the shield, Roy felt his blood boil all of a sudden.
If I break this shield, Mundusâs expression will definitely be very marvelous, right?
Oh, I forgot. This guy is so faceless and skinless. How could he have an expression?

Just as Roy held Frostmourne tightly and began to accumulate power with the Red Dragon Emperorâs Gauntlet on his right arm, a black shadow suddenly flew over and slammed into Mundusâs shield with a thud!
It was the demon swordsman Sparda!
Roy turned around and found that Junia had disappeared. The time of the fusion was over. Julia and Benia had separated and were evacuating from the battlefield, but they had already completed the task Roy had given them and healed SpardaâŠ
After recovering, Sparda could not wait to rush forward and join forces with Roy to deal with Mundus!
