The moment this figure appeared, the pervading holy light almost made Roy think that a powerful angel had emerged from the spatial channel.
But after he emerged from the spatial channel and slowly flew over, Roy saw that this guy was actually a human!
And it was a very flamboyant-looking humanâŚ
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 peacockâs 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 flashyâŚ
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 meticulously groomed hair with the feather and then slowly said, âMundus, I havenât heard from you for over twenty years. I thought you were dead⌠But looking at you now, you seem no different from being deadâŚâ
His tone was low and feminine, and his words were full of sarcasm.
âShut up, Balder!â Mundus roared. âDonât talk to me in that arrogant tone of yours!â
âOkay. Respectable Emperor of the Demon World, Eternal Supreme, Sacred Father of Demons, Your Majesty Mundus, did you call me here to ask me to save you?â Balder slowly said as he flicked the peacock feather after finishing combing his hair, turning it into fragments that scattered in all directions.
When Roy heard Balderâs voice, he thought,
Seriously, he sounds like an old hermaphrodite!
ââŚâ Mundus was likely trembling with anger, and he did not answer for a long time. After a while, he said, âBalder, donât forget the content of our cooperation. If Iâm sealed again, your plan will also be finished!â
âOkay!â Balder sighed. Then he turned to look at Sparda. âDark Knight Sparda, itâs an honor to meet you again!â
Roy was stunned for a moment before asking Sparda quietly, âDo you know him?â
â⌠Yes!â Sparda let out a long sigh. âThis guy is the last Lumen Sage in the other world! I once entered that world by mistake and hunted angels with the Umbra Witches of that world, so I met this guy onceâŚâ
Lumen Sage?! Umbra Witches?! Hunting angels?!
There was an explosion in Royâs mind, and he immediately understood!
The twin world on the other side in Spardaâs mouth is actually the Bayonetta world?!
No wonder.
Roy wondered why the strange angel that emerged from the spatial channel felt vaguely familiar to him. Moreover, when Balder first appeared, he felt as though he had seen him somewhere before.
So the world over there is the Bayonetta world with all kinds of bizarre angelsâŚ
This is reallyâŚ
Roy did not know what to say. He could only say that it was unexpected and reasonable.
Sparda was staring at Balder at this moment, so he did not notice Royâs expression and continued to explain to Roy in a low voice, âHe is indeed human, but he is a very special human. In the world over there, Lumen Sages are the so-called âlight clanâ. They are born with affinity with holy light, and they are the humans with the closest connection to Heaven. And the Umbra Witches I mentioned earlier are similar humans, but they are the âdark clanâ. The Witches have affinity with dark power, and they are connected to the Demon WorldâŚâ
Roy nodded, indicating that he understood. But then he looked at Balder in puzzlement and then at Mundusâs body at his feet. âWhy is a Lumen Sage, a âperson of lightâ, involved with Mundus, the Emperor of the Demon World?â
âI donât know, but⌠do you remember what I said about Mundus disappearing from the Demon World for a while?â Sparda said. âI 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 Lumen SagesâŚâ
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. âThatâs right. Many years ago, when His Majesty Mundus appeared on our side, I was the one who received him!â
âArenât Lumen Sages on the side of the angels?â Roy frowned. âOr are you a fallen?â
âFallen? What a vulgar term!â Balder shook his head slightly. âMake no mistake. We are Lumen Sages, not angels. Just because we use the power of angels doesnât mean that we canât 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?â
F*ck! Why does this sound so familiar? It feels similar to âhow can a scholarâs matter be called stealingââŚ
After Balder finished speaking, he suddenly stared at Roy. âHow should I address this demon lord?â
âMy name is Osiris!â Roy stared at him. âWhat advice do you have?â
âYour Lordship Osiris?â 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 moment later, it stopped on one of the pages. Balder looked at the page for a while before nodding. âI see. Youâre indeed a famous lord. I already know your battle achievements. No wonder His Majesty Mundus fell into the hands of you and Lord Sparda. Itâs not surprisingâŚâ
âHuh?â Roy looked doubtfully at the book in Balderâs hand. âWhat is that?â
âA projection of the Book of Truth, a little thing in Heaven. Itâs not worth mentioning!â Balder smiled, tossed, and the book disappeared.
âDonât listen to his nonsense!â Sparda whispered to Roy. âItâs indeed a projection of the Book of Truth, but itâs definitely not some little thing. Itâs a book that Heaven uses to record the true names of extremely threatening demons. It contains almost all the names 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 name in it, but mine is as well!â
âMy true demon name?!â Roy immediately became vigilant and tightened his grip on Frostmourne. âCan this book be destroyed?â
âItâs 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 whatâs in Balderâs hands now, it wonât be long before this book is projected againâŚâ
âThis Book of Truth is a divine artifact that all demons want to destroy, but itâs also what demons are the most helpless aboutâŚâ Sparda said expressionlessly. âBecause itâs said that itâs a Legacy of the Creator left to HeavenâŚâ
Hearing Spardaâs words, Roy was stunned and could only give up on this idea.
Too f*cking ruthless! I canât afford to offend them! Goodbye!
At this moment, 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 something good. Although Balder was only a Lumen Sage, he was quite powerful. If he wanted to protect Mundus, then as long as he could restrain Roy and Sparda for a short time, Mundusâs soul would definitely be able to escape.
Thinking of this, Roy looked at Sparda with an oblique expression, but the meaning 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 meaning behind Royâs 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 seemed 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 moment. All their senses seemed to have entered a state of slowed time.
Time had truly slowed down! Roy and Sparda saw Balder land calmly, came to the side of Mundusâs necrotic body, and stretched out his hand.
Then an incomparably large pitch-black ball of light emerged from Mundusâs body. On this ball of light, a head extremely similar to Mundusâs evolved, and the three big eyeballs on it were clearly visible.
Needless to say, this was Mundusâs soul! When his soul left his body and flew into Balderâs hand, the voice of his soul shouted, âQuick! Get me out of here!â
Roy and Sparda could only watch helplessly. They could not stop them at all because their arms had only currently raised about five centimetersâŚ
After holding Mundusâs soul in his hand, Balder flew up again and arrived at the spatial channel in the air. Only then did the time-slowing effect on Roy and Sparda abruptly disappear!
The moment the effect disappeared, Roy and Sparda reacted quickly. They immediately spread their wings and charged toward Balder.
Balderâs clean and smooth forehead was full of sweat at this moment. It seemed that using his ability to forcibly slow down the time of the two demon lords had placed an immense 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!

âDamn it!â 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 extremely angry that Mundus and Balder managed to escape.
âWhat happened just now?â Roy stopped beside Sparda and looked at his hands in puzzlement.
âThat is a special ability of the Lumen SagesâSage Time!â Sparda explained. âThey, like the Umbra Witches, can control time for a short period. In fact, itâs not that our time slows down, but that his time becomes faster, so we canât resist this effectâŚâ
âSage Time?â Roy could not help but look strange after hearing this term.
I can also enter this state, and Iâm very familiar with it! Every time after Iâm with Julia and Benia, I will enter this stateâŚ
