Custom Made Demon King

Seeing that Julia’s attitude toward Vulgrim was extremely bad, Roy asked and finally understood what was going on.

How should he put it? Vulgrim could be considered an anomaly among demons. He was completely different from the belligerent and bloodthirsty ordinary ones. Vulgrim could be called cowardly. Almost all the souls he acquired was from trading with others, and he had never fought and plundered souls personally. Among the demons in this world, Vulgrim’s name was synonymous with timidness!

If that was all, then it would be fine. It was normal for one or two weirdos to appear among so many demons. But what the demons could not tolerate the most was that Vulgrim had learned to be unprincipled like human merchants. Not only did he transact with demons, but he also transacted with angels and even with the Charred Council. And demons and angels loathed the latter.

This was why the three forces, demons, angels, and the Charred Council, did not have any favorable impression of Vulgrim whatsoever. They could trade with him when necessary, but when they were not trading, they regarded him as an ant!

Lowly! It was the perfect word to describe Vulgrim. Even though he possessed the power of a high-rank demon, high-rank demons essentially regarded him as scum and were ashamed to acknowledge his status.

Although Julia was a fallen angel, under the influence of other demons, she had never had any good impression of Vulgrim, so she spoke harshly to him as soon as he appeared.

On the other hand, Roy did not have much understanding of Vulgrim because he had not been in this world for a long time. In order to deepen Roy’s direct impression of Vulgrim, Julia pointed at the pair of demon wings on Vulgrim’s back and said, “Do you see those damaged wings? That was the punishment from other high-rank demons. Such a shameless fellow is simply not worthy of being called a demon!”

Roy looked at the pair of wings behind Vulgrim and found that it was really incomplete, as Julia had said. The demon wings, which should have been wide and domineering, were only left with a small segment of the roots on his back. Vulgrim wrapped these wounds up with bandages like a pair of crispy wings, and they even moved from time to time…

No wonder when Roy had not promoted yet and was still a middle-rank demon, Vulgrim had been humble when he saw him. He understood his situation and was very cautious when dealing with each transaction partner.

Looking at Vulgrim, who did not dare to move under Julia’s sword, Roy shook his head. “You being like this really subverts my impression of demons…”

However, Vulgrim did not care at all. “It’s nature! Your Excellency Osiris, this is nature! Don’t humans say that nature is unchangeable? Although I live lowly, I’ve lived longer than most demons. Many of them die in battle, but I can continue to witness history. It’s hard to say who profited more!”

Roy stretched out his claws and pushed aside Julia’s sword, getting her to move her sword away. Then he said to Vulgrim, “You are a rift demon and can travel freely anywhere in this world, in any space. You can naturally see many… people! Vulgrim, I need you to help me find someone!”

“I’d be happy to help you, Your Excellency Osiris!” Without the threat of the sword, Vulgrim revealed a humble smile. “I’m willing to do any business, even if it’s to find someone… So, who do you want me to find?”

“Nephilim, or the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!” Roy said.

Hearing this, Vulgrim was stunned. “Are… are you sure about this?”.

“Yes! I want to find a Horseman of the Apocalypse!” Roy nodded in confirmation.

“I have to say, Your Excellency Osiris, were you stimulated in your battle with the angel Uriel?” Vulgrim was astonished. “You actually want to find a Horseman of the Apocalypse? Do you know what those Horsemen will do if they see a demon like you?”

“Of course, I know they might kill me!” Roy said. “But they might also listen to a few words from me, right?”

Indeed, Roy had thought about it carefully over the past few days. At the time when War had just descended, it would have likely been suicide for a demon like him to approach the Horseman. But the situation now seemed to be a little different. According to the time frame, War had already been summoned back by the Charred Council and imprisoned, and his other three siblings should all be rushing to save him at this time, right?

Under these circumstances, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse could no longer care about the war between angels and demons. As long as someone could provide them with some help, they should still choose to listen, even if it was the words of a demon.

It was indeed very risky to meet a Horseman of the Apocalypse, but at the same time, this risk was not necessarily greater than meeting the Mad Queen Lilith…

Seeing that Roy was so certain, Vulgrim was stunned. He was silent for a while before rubbing his hands together and saying, “Okay, since Your Excellency Osiris insists on it, then I will help you. And coincidentally, just before coming here, I saw a Horseman!”

“Huh?! In the human world?” Roy was a little surprised. He initially thought that he might be able to go to another space by using Vulgrim’s ability to meet Death, the Horsemen who represented death. But he did not expect to hear this unexpected news from Vulgrim.

“Yes, in the human world!” Vulgrim nodded. “Furthermore, it’s Fury! I can think of a way to let you meet her, but I have to remind you that that woman is very difficult to deal with, very difficult! If you want to say something to her, it’s best to be mentally prepared!”

“Fury? Why is she in the human world?” Roy touched his demon horns and pondered.

In fact, Roy did not know much about the plot development of the Darksiders world. In fact, when he was reborn as a demon, the story about Fury of the Four Horsemen had not come out yet…

“Um, she seems to have been sent by the council!” Vulgrim said.”It’s said that she came to capture the Seven Deadly Sins!”

The council sent her? That’s strange. When War descended earlier, didn’t it summon him back? The seal isn’t broken, and the council can’t intervene! Why did it send Fury? What are the Seven Deadly Sins? Does it have anything to do with the Seven Deadly Sin Demon Kings? Roy pondered but did not say anything

Roy did not know that although Fury had indeed been sent by the Charred Council, she had come nominally under another purposeto hunt down the ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ that escaped from the Charred Council’s prison!

Due to the fact that the last seal was not broken, the Charred Council could not intervene in the End War and could only look on helplessly as angels and demons wreaked havoc in the human world. However, it was obviously impossible for them to just look on like this, so the Charred Council was actually secretly making some small actions. In fact, when War had mysteriously descended to the human world, it was caused by the Charred Council. War was not lying. He had indeed felt the power of the summons, but the Charred Council had manufactured this summons.

As early as when Abaddon and Azrael moved to destroy the seals, the Charred Council had already seen through their motive, and it was very dissatisfied with their unauthorized destruction of the seals. But unfortunately, Abaddon’s actions did not really break the contract, only exploiting the loopholes in the contract. Without concrete evidence, it could not dispatch the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to descend to punish Abaddon, so they simply played a scheme and first let War descend in violation of the rules. Then it deprived War’s power and summoned him back! It said that he had broken the contract and violated the rules.

In doing so, the council was actually framing War. It knew very well that War was an extremely honorable knight. After being wronged, he would definitely want revenge in order to restore his reputation. This way, the council could use him to kill Abaddon, who had turned into the Destroyer…

During the period of War’s imprisonment, considering the difference in the flow of time, the war and the destructive behavior of the angels and demons in the human world had to be restrained, so the council used the escape of Seven Deadly Sins as an excuse to send out Fury.

When Vulgrim encountered Fury earlier, it had not been long since she had descended into the human world…

Roy did not know this at the moment, but it did not affect his actions. He only needed to find a suitable opportunity to see Fury.

And all of this required Vulgrim’s help.

This was a deal, but such a deal was not worth paying the price of Uriel’s soul, so Roy quickly negotiated with him and came to an agreement. As long as Vulgrim led to him to find Fury, he would give him five hundred souls as remuneration…
