The intense cold air formed a vortex-like icy-cold current in the storm, and the center of the vortex was where César was.
Within a radius of a hundred meters, all the plants and trees in the area froze, instantly losing their vitality. Meanwhile, César, who was in the center of the storm, was blown into the sky by the irresistible force. Before he could land, he was frozen in midair. The Ice Tornado finally turned into a twisted pillar of ice that rose into the sky and stood on the ground.
At the bottom of the ice pillar, near the ground, was a huge spiral-shaped ice flower. The pitch-black, petal-shaped pieces of ice blossomed with a strange and mysterious beauty under the moonlight.
César’s demon body was frozen in midair, and his body was inside the ice pillar, leaving only his head outside, but it was also frozen. Roy spread his wings, flew up, and grabbed the demon horns on his head. With a twist, he pulled César’s head off.
Roy’s mission was finally completed…
Holding César’s head, Roy flew in the air and let out a huge roar. The moon contrasted against his figure, turning it into a doomsday-like scene.
Broom and the Allied soldiers who had chased out of the underground headquarters completely saw this scene. The chill in their hearts made them all shudder.
“Damn it. The capture mission can go to hell!” The colonel leading the team could not help but curse in a low voice. “I don’t want to fight against such a terrifying demon king!”
Upon hearing this, the other Allied soldiers also hurriedly nodded. “Boss, you’re right. Let those damned fellows go to hell!”
There was a reason why they said this. When they had received the order, the operation team actually also had a secret mission. If possible, the upper echelons of the Allies hoped that they could capture the demon, Roy, so that they could conduct supernatural research. However, after witnessing Roy’s strength along the way, the soldiers of the operation team had long lost any hope for this mission…
Roy descended from the sky and looked at the pitch-black ice flower on the ground.
In fact, Roy had created this move in the abandoned village, but he had not materialized it at that time. This was Roy’s first move with strong attack power.
The name Roy initially defined was Dark Tornado, but the killing effect of this move was mainly the power of frost. Coupled with the definitions of Rapid Freezing and Storm Sweeping, it was called Ice Tornado in the end.
And because the frost power used by this move came from Roy himself, there was no additional consumption, so just using three hundred points of magic power could cover the radius of a hundred meters. If Roy was willing to output more magic power, the range would continue to expand.
As they walked toward the manor, the operation team soldiers could not help but take a few steps back when they saw Roy coming.
Broom could not help but swallow his saliva. When he saw Roy, he could not help but think of Hellboy, not knowing whether his decision to adopt Hellboy was right or wrong. Are all demons so terrifying when they grow up?
“All right, I’m done!” Roy held César’s head and gestured to everyone. “The Thule Society has perished. You don’t have to worry!”
“Are you going back?” Broom asked.
Roy nodded. Broom was clearly relieved. To be honest, he was worried that Roy would continue to stay in this world after killing César. If that happened, the world would suffer. The Thule Society had given the Allies such a headache, and if a stronger demon came, they would not know what to do.
Roy did not have much time left in this world. Even if he continued to plunder souls, he would not be able to obtain many. The two thousand high-grade souls in the soul contract that César had left behind could make up for it. What he needed to do now was to find a way to open the seal on it.
So, after Fat Tiger brought out the thoroughly damaged Balotan Pillar from the underground laboratory, Roy flew into the sky with Fat Tiger and left the manor.
As for how Broom and the Allied operation team would break out, it was not Roy’s concern…
After finding a mountain range and landing, Roy took out the soul contract written in human skin and blood.
Roy did not plan on bringing the soul contract back to the Abyss to unseal it. He was afraid that it would attract the greed of other demons, so he planned to undo it before he returned.
In fact, the soul contract was just a name. This scroll was not a true contract, but a vessel that could hold souls, a way to preserve souls temporarily. After all, souls would begin to dissipate once exposed, and without a proper way to preserve them, it was impossible to store them for too long.
In the soul contract, Roy could feel the fluctuations of César’s magic power. This should have been left behind by César before he abandoned his body. The magic power fluctuations were very similar to when he used illusions. If Roy could not simulate the exact same frequency of magic power fluctuations as César, it would be impossible for him to open the seal.
But it did not matter. Roy had a cheat!
He opened the system interface, drew a key on the blank page, and then defined the key.
[Key]: One-time item. Can remove seals by consuming a corresponding number of souls.
This way, there would be almost no soul consumption when he materialized the key. Only when he used it to open the soul contract would it see the strength of the seal, consume the souls Roy carried, and unlock the seal.
This was why Roy was so confident. For him, as long as he could create an item that could be defined, he could use this item to do many things that he was unable to do.
Now, even if Roy had not learned how to break the seal, he could still remove the seal on the soul contract.
Following the disappearance of the key, Roy’s stored souls disappeared one by one. When the ninth soul disappeared, a faint light suddenly flashed on the soul contract scroll.
The next second, a large number of souls sealed within the scroll immediately gushed out!
One, two, ten, one hundred, one thousand! It was the first time Roy had seen such a strange scene. These balls of light that sprayed out did not leave but instead gathered around Roy like fireflies, looking quite beautiful.
As César had said, each of these souls was far larger than ordinary souls. Two thousand such high-grade souls was a fortune for a demon.
Roy had used almost two hundred souls to transmute the fallen soul and noble soul. Now, he had replenished them ten times over. Looking at the number of souls displayed on the system interface, Roy found that he already had 2,482 souls. Moreover, two thousand souls had high soul power and would function as more souls.
Roy was extremely satisfied. To be honest, these two thousand souls were an unexpected fortune for him because he had never thought that César would actually save so many souls to increase his magic power.
If there were a few more demons like César, it would not take Roy long to become a high-rank demon…
However, this was only a thought. The souls that demons obtained generally did not last overnight and would be eaten on the spot. It was very rare to store souls like this.
This time, it was actually César who was seeking death himself. For a half-human half-demon body, he had not cared about anything else.
Roy’s thoughts were different from César’s. In Roy’s opinion, no matter how powerful a demon-human body was, Roy would not pursue it. He had a system and his own way of becoming stronger, so he did not have to risk transferring his soul.
After tidying up, Roy took César’s head and activated the magic power left on him. He opened a Gate of the Abyss and disappeared from this world with Fat Tiger.
…
What he did not know was that after he left, Broom and the others tried to remove César’s frozen body.
Although they had not dared to carry out the mission to capture Roy, if they could get this half-human half-demon body back, the higher-ups would not blame them…
However, regardless of whether they used grenades or rockets, Roy’s pitch-black ice was not damaged at all.
Just as they were at a loss, the pitch-black ice pillar emitted a cracking sound and began to crumble rapidly.
This collapse was caused by the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit in the ice and Roy’s departure from this world. All the solid ice rapidly shrank inward at the same time, then collapsed, shattered, and finally turned into dust. Even César’s frozen corpse turned into flying ash!
Broom and the others watched this scene with their mouths agape, not knowing how to react. They did not even have time to take photos to leave evidence.
When all the ice disappeared into dark particles and dispersed, there were no other traces left aside from the bare ground, causing the soldiers of the Allied operation team to look at each other and smile bitterly.
That demon really did not intend to leave anything for humans…
On the other hand, Broom, this consultant professor of the supernatural, sighed and wrote this in his notebook:
“He is Demon Osiris, the Lord of Darkness and Winter, a powerful and terrifying existence. Humans seem so weak and helpless before him. Although he had not done anything to humans this time, I still hope that in this world, there won’t be foolish demon worshipers who try to summon him. Otherwise, the next time he comes, he might bring a calamity to this world…”
Many years later, Broom’s words were written in his book, and this book was also regarded as a legend about Hitler’s defeat in World War II…
