Custom Made Demon King - Chapter 170
Chapter 170: Blood Oath
Roy and Julia continued to search for the remaining Seven Deadly Sins, but Roy did not know that his actions in this world had gradually attracted the attention of… some ‘people’.
At the same time, in another direction hundreds of kilometers away, a group of angels in golden armor was flying low in the dim sky.
This group of angels numbered about a thousand. In the combat troops of the angel army, it was a fully organized battle team. But what was strange was that this angel team was not finding the demon army to fight. Instead, they flew slowly while looking down, seemingly searching for something.
Most of the members of this team were low-level two-winged angels. Apart from some original angels, the rest were artificial angels, but there were six four-winged angels leading this team.
Although the angel army suffered heavy losses after the Destroyer appeared, Heaven was not completely expelled from the human world. It continued to send troops into the human world to fight against demons, as it had done for hundreds of millions of years. It was not discouraged because the balance of power was broken.
However, it was actually two leaders who had directed this End War on the side of Heaven. The angel soldiers at the lower level had no idea what the real situation was, so they were at a loss about why the war situation had become like this.
The only ones who knew the war situation were Abaddon and Uriel, who had led the angels into the human world at the beginning of the End War. However, Abaddon, one of the leaders, had suddenly disappeared. Judging from the accounts of some angels who had returned to the Heaven headquarters, Lord Abaddon seemed to have been killed by Demon Lord Straga…
This was definitely bad news because Abaddon’s soul had not been able to return to Heaven…
Similarly, Uriel had not been able to return, but according to reliable news, Uriel was not dead or captured. After her attempt to assassinate the Destroyer failed, she only escaped injured. The side of Heaven wanted to know what had happened, so it continuously sent reinforcements and even attempted to find the dominion angel Uriel!
This group of angel soldiers was one of the teams that came to find Uriel. Their mission was to meet up with Uriel after entering the human world. And while figuring out why there was the additional demon king-level Destroyer, they would be incorporated into Uriel’s subordinates and follow her command.
But unfortunately, after entering the human world, this team could not sense Uriel’s aura, and it also could not find Uriel’s location with detection magic!
After discovering this situation, the four-winged angels leading the team had a vague premonition, but they were unwilling to give up just like that. Therefore, according to the reports of the soldiers who had seen Uriel, they searched in the direction where Uriel and her troops had retreated in an attempt to find traces Uriel left behind.
This angel team had been searching for several days now. On the way, many demons attacked them, but they had successfully repelled them.
Although they did not obtain any information about Uriel from the demons, they discovered the strange movements of the demons.
A large number of low-level demons were gathering and heading southeast under the supervision of some high-rank demons. Moreover, these low-level demons were carrying all kinds of stone materials, seemingly planning to build something.
Although the angels did not know what the enemy wanted to do, they would usually do their best to destroy the plans of the demons when faced with such situations or, at the very least, create some obstacles for them. But after much hesitation, the four-winged angels leading the team decided to find Uriel first.
Just like that, they continued flying. After some time, the griffin mounts of the angels suddenly stirred and screeched.
Sensing the situation, the angels immediately focused their attention on searching the ground below. Then a few sharp-eyed angels quickly found something on the ground.
Under the command of the four-winged angels, this angel army spread out in all directions and flew to the ground to search.
Within a radius of about a kilometer on the ground, the angels quickly found something. It was… dozens of blood-stained white angel feathers!
This proved that an angel had fought in this area, and the battle situation was not too encouraging…
As time passed, the angels found more and more things. Among these things were a few golden feathers and some broken armor fragments.
“It’s Lady Uriel’s armor!” The four-winged angels widened their eyes in horror as they recognized the patterns on the damaged armor.
“Quick, expand the search range!” Considering that the battle might have taken place in the air, the angel feathers that appeared here might have drifted over with the wind, so the angels expanded the search range once again.
As expected, after continuing to search, the angels found the true battlefield!
Here, there were some scattered corpses of angels. They were the remaining angel soldiers who had retreated with Uriel. The corpses of these angel soldiers were spread out disorderly over a large area.
“It was caused by frost-element magic power! They were completely frozen and then fell to the ground and shattered…” a four-winged angel investigating said solemnly.
“Where’s Lady Uriel?! Did you find her…” another four-winged angel asked anxiously.
Before he finished speaking, an angel soldier walked over, holding a stiff corpse. When they saw this corpse, all the angel soldiers fell silent.
This corpse was none other than Uriel, whom they had been searching for…
“Lady Uriel died in battle, but her soul was taken away and did not return to the White City…” The angel soldier carrying the corpse had a pained expression.
“Damn it!” Upon hearing this, a four-winged angel could not help but draw his sword and stab it violently into the ground. “Who was it?! Who killed Lady Uriel?!”
Uriel was an original angel with high hopes in the White City. If nothing unexpected happened, it was very likely that she would successfully promote to a new six-winged angel after a hundred years, becoming an important force for the angels. In fact, the White City had even discussed adding a leader position for Uriel. But unexpectedly, she died in the human world, and even her soul could not return.
“The only ones who can kill Lady Uriel are demon lords. Only a few demon lords appeared this time. Who was it?” the angels said indignantly.
However, they could not find any clues because in the battle traces found on Uriel’s corpse, besides finding traces of frost power and dark power, they also found traces of hellfire and wounds caused by two completely different swords. This left them a little confused. They were slightly suspicious that after Uriel retreated with heavy injuries, she was intercepted by a demon lord with an army.
“What should we do now?” The four-winged angels leading the team were extremely worried.
“In any case, let’s first bring Lady Uriel’s corpse back to the White City! If we can find her soul, she might have a chance to resurrect!” One of the four-winged angels sighed.
Soon, the angels split out dozens of soldiers to protect Uriel’s corpse and return to the White City.
Then the remaining angels gathered.
“This might be a despicable scheme of the demons! After they killed Lord Abaddon, they killed Lady Uriel too!” a four-winged angel said angrily. “We must take revenge!”
“But our strength…” another four-winged angel said hesitantly, “Even Lord Abaddon is in trouble. Our enemy may be more than two demon lords. We don’t have enough strength…”
“Let’s request reinforcements from the headquarters!” someone suggested.
However, the four-winged angel who first proposed taking revenge shook his head. “There are no reinforcements. Even if there are, it’s impossible for it to be too powerful. The Destroyer is attacking the White City, and the leaders are resisting his attack. We can only rely on ourselves now…”
“But we…” A four-winged angel was interrupted as soon as he began.
“Use the Blood Oath!” the four-winged angel who proposed revenge said firmly.
Upon hearing this term, the angels present fell silent, but they all quickly nodded resolutely…
