Samael looked at Roy with a relaxed expression, as if he were playing a game.
Roy gritted his teeth, raising his Hell Shotgun with his left hand, preparing to give the Lord of Wrath a close-range blast.
Yep, after getting bigger, the muzzle caliber of the Hell Shotgun had reached nearly 30 millimeters. According to international standards, a firearm with a caliber of 20 millimeters or more is considered a cannon.
At the same time, Crowlia quickly circled behind Samael, her feet moving like roller skates, preparing to fire light arrows again.
Sandwiched front and back, this time she should be able to hit, right?
But Samael's bloody light wings behind him perfectly blocked the light arrows Crowlia fired. And the Hell Shotgun blast Roy fired at close range was swallowed whole by Samael, who opened his mouth wide to gulp down the flaming skull.
The flaming skull exploded in Samael's mouth, but it had no effect on him.
This fighting style left Roy stunned.
"Now it's my turn! Kneel!"
Samael kicked Roy in the knee. Due to the height difference, he could only reach that spot, but this single kick completely shattered Roy's knee, which was harder than rebar.
Roy's pupils constricted, but he stubbornly resisted kneeling, instead delivering a downward headbutt.
Because of the height difference, Samael had no space to dodge this headbutt, and his hands were busy blocking. So the headbutt successfully hit Samael's head.
This was the first time Roy and Crowlia's continuous attacks actually hit Samael.
Even though Roy probably took more damage from this headbutt than Samael.
After all, Roy was hard-headed, but Samael was even harder-headed.
Roy's experience couldn't compare to someone who had been hard-headed for thousands of years.
The result was that Roy was sent staggering back several steps by the headbutt, and his head felt like a party was going on inside, he couldn't help but wobble... cough, in short, he was extremely dizzy.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Crowlia attacked Samael relentlessly, striking from both sides.
Perhaps because Roy's headbutt just now momentarily stunned Samael, all of Crowlia's attacks during this time hit their mark.
But as for the damage caused...
"Damn it, you dare to dirty the body of the great Lord of Wrath!"
Samael, as expected, got angry again. He first targeted Crowlia, who had been harassing him from a distance, appearing in front of her like lightning, and then sliced Crowlia in half with his red light sword.
"Ah!"
This one sword strike reverted Crowlia back to her original form, leaving her lying on the ground barely clinging to life.
Of course, Cybertronians aren't that easy to kill, but Crowlia probably couldn't participate in the rest of the battle.
Then, Samael looked at Roy.
"Next, it's your turn!"
Roy knew very well that he had to go all out. If he didn't fight with everything he had now, he might not even get the chance to fight at all.
So, Roy used the ability of Ashbringer and transformed into his Nephilim form.
Gray hair, gray eyes, and gray wings.
Both Samael and Lilith showed shocked expressions.
"You are a Nephilim!"
What Samael said was also what Lilith wanted to say, but Lilith was being choked and couldn't speak right now.
The Lord of Wrath definitely knew the Nephilim. After all, thousands of years ago, he followed Lucifer and Michael in leading the angel army to deal with the rebellious Nephilim.
Seeing a Nephilim again after thousands of years gave Samael a very strange feeling.
"How interesting, no wonder I felt your aura was somewhat familiar from the beginning! I didn't expect you to be a Nephilim! But it doesn't matter, no matter who you are, you will die by my hand today! I will keep your skull as part of my collection!"
Samael felt Roy was familiar not because of his Nephilim bloodline, but actually because of the Bael's Mark on him.
However, this issue was no longer important. Countless weapons made of red energy appeared around Samael.
Among the Seven Deadly Sins of Hell, the most simple and brutal fighting style probably belonged to Leviathan. As an ancient serpent, it could solve most problems with just its physical body. Next would be Samael.
Samael is one of the few warriors among the Seven Deadly Sins of Hell. Almost all of his abilities are built around strength and weapons.
There is an interesting saying that after Samael was cast into Hell by God, he encountered many "old acquaintances" there.
As mentioned before, Samael, in his time as an Angel of Wrath, commanded the angel army and specialized in extermination missions against other races. So naturally, there were many people in Hell who held grudges against Samael.
Therefore, upon seeing Samael's four pairs of light wings cut off and most of his power lost, these enemies naturally sought revenge for past grievances.
Thus, from the first day Samael entered Hell, he began fighting his enemies without a moment's rest.
This situation continued for several hundred years until Samael forged the Throne of Original Sin with his wrath and became the Lord of Wrath, at which point it stopped.
Doesn't that sound a lot like the male protagonist of a decisive, explosive killing story?
However, this guy was now standing on the opposite side of Roy.
Countless red energy weapons shot towards Roy. Roy immediately used Chaos Energy to construct a translucent energy armor to defend against Samael's attacks.
But for some reason, the energy armor Roy constructed was no longer gray, but gray mixed with a faint red.
The energy level of Chaos Energy was still quite high, so facing Samael's storm-like attacks, the energy armor only developed a large number of cracks, barely holding up against the output.
This was also only possible because Roy's physique reached 100 with the temporary attribute boost. An ordinary person, even with the energy armor blocking direct damage, would be shaken to death by the accompanying impact.
After a round of attacks, Samael suddenly noticed the red energy flowing within Roy's energy armor.
"Wait a minute, how do you have my divine power!"
That's right, this was indeed part of Samael's power, coming from two sources.
One source was in the mental world, where Lisa Garland, hallucinated by Alessa, stabbed Roy's body, injecting the red energy. The other source was what Roy gained by "harmonizing yin and yang" during the Holy Grail War after losing his sanity, which also included a portion absorbed from Crowlia through the Dark Touch.
Samael was notoriously petty and hated it most when others stole his power, even though the bit of red energy in Roy's body was less than a drop in the bucket compared to the power he had manifested.
But the Lord of Wrath was still incredibly angry. Otherwise, why would he be called the Lord of Wrath?
"Give me back my power!"
Samael reached out, trying to reclaim his energy. Of course, Roy didn't want to give it back.
All that energy was obtained by Roy through his own efforts, why should he return it?
And so, the two of them started pulling at each other in mid-air.
Samael furiously absorbed his energy, while Roy used Chaos Energy to obstruct him.
Eventually, Samael completely lost his cool, even throwing Lilith aside and using both hands to absorb the red energy from Roy's body.
This maneuver left Lilith stunned.
One could only say that the Lord of Wrath was indeed prone to losing his temper. Earlier, during the Nightmare on Elm Street incident, he fought a big battle against Isabella, who arrived later at the mental hospital, which indirectly assisted Roy.
He truly lived up to his reputation as the "ex-husband."
Roy ultimately couldn't withstand Samael's furious dual-handed absorption, and the red energy in his body was sucked out.
But at this moment, the activated Eye of Death also underwent a change.
Previously, the illusionary Lisa Garland stabbing the Eye of Death with a knife was essentially injecting red energy into it.
It was also because of this that the ability "Death's Gaze" became activated.
Now, Samael's actions further enraged the unseen Death. It was as if the Lord of Wrath had slapped Death and then tried to steal Death's belongings.
This would naturally provoke a counterattack from Death. So, what kind of counterattack would Death unleash?
"Hahaha... This is my power—cough, cough, cough!"
Suddenly, the wildly laughing Samael was choked by his own saliva and coughed violently, leaving Roy and Lilith looking at each other in bewilderment.
In this world, the possibility of anything is never truly 0, only infinitely close to 0.
So it was possible for a Demon King of Hell to choke to death on his own saliva, even if the probability might be on the order of hundreds or thousands of decimal places.
However, there is a power that can infinitely amplify such probabilities.
After choking until tears nearly flowed, Samael immediately realized something was wrong. Even though he was currently in a human body, such a ridiculous situation shouldn't occur.
This made Samael furious beyond belief.
"Who, who is ambushing me!"
The Lord of Wrath first looked at Lilith, because theoretically, an Angel of Wisdom could accomplish this with the Great Prophecy.
However, Lilith, who had just been thrown aside, hadn't had a chance to speak. So the only one left was Roy.
"Nephilim, did you do this?"
Samael stared intently at Roy with his scarlet eyes. For some reason, he felt that the other party's body seemed to have undergone some kind of change.
Roy's body had indeed changed. He felt the area of the Eye of Death on his chest burning hot, so hot that even his physique attribute of 102 found it hard to bear.
"Ah—"
Finally, Roy couldn't bear it anymore and let out a scream.
Then Samael saw a large, beautiful eye grow out of Roy's chest.
This time, it was a real eye that could blink, not just a black symbol.
"Death (Death's name)!"
Samael's expression changed. He recognized that this was the power of Death.
When carrying out the mission to exterminate the Nephilim, Samael, Lucifer, and Michael personally witnessed the birth of the Four Horsemen, including Death.
So while Lilith didn't recognize the eye, Samael did.
When the Eye of Death appeared, anyone present with normal senses could feel an invisible mental pressure.
This didn't include Crowlia. She was a silicon-based life form, and her sensors temporarily couldn't perceive what mental pressure was.
Samael had already realized that he was being targeted by Death. The solution was actually very simple: just return to Hell.
Death's power only existed on Earth; leaving Earth would not be affected.
But Samael had come to Earth with great difficulty and hadn't had a good time yet. How could he just slink away like this?
Did the Lord of Wrath have no face?
Or he could quickly run away and get out of the sight of the Eye of Death.
Death couldn't leave a direct mark on Samael's human vessel, Carrie, which is why Death was using Roy's body to stare at Samael.
However, Samael was not the kind of Demon King who would shrink back and flee. He was different from a certain Demon King who was afraid of trouble and would even use abortion as an excuse to run away.
(Elizabeth: Say that again?)
So, Samael actually had only one choice: kill Roy, the vessel of Death.
"Death, do you think I'm afraid of you? Even Death won't stop me!"
Samael conjured another red light sword and charged at Roy.
At this moment, Roy felt as if he had entered a very mysterious state. His vision turned monochrome gray, and he kept seeing strange black lines.
Samael's speed was faster than a blink. The red light sword plunged straight towards Roy's chest, aiming to kill both the Eye of Death and Roy together.
But Roy then raised his chainsword slightly, and it miraculously blocked Samael's thrust.
However, while he blocked it, there was a huge difference in strength between Roy and Samael, and he was still sent flying by the sword strike.
But without the reinforcement of Hell Energy, the hardness of the chainsword clearly couldn't withstand Samael's attack. Roy noticed a large number of black lines appearing on the chainsword. These black lines seemed to indicate the chainsword's imminent shattering.
Could it be that these black lines were signs of material collapse?
Roy turned his head to look at Crowlia. The silicon-based life form who had been cut in half was covered in black lines at this moment, clearly on the verge of collapse.
Lilith's situation was much better, with only a few black lines on her body.
As for Samael, there were no black lines on his body at all, or rather, the black lines were too fine and too short for Roy to observe.
Instead, there were a few not-so-obvious black lines on the red light sword in Samael's hand.
Then let's test if these black lines are the lines of material collapse!
Samael charged at Roy again and attacked with his sword. The Lord of Wrath disdained sneak attacks from behind. Otherwise, with his speed, flashing behind Roy would leave Roy completely defenseless.
Bullet Time Activated!
In the view slowed down sixteen times, Samael's speed was still very fast, but Roy was finally able to catch the position of his attack and then, with split-second timing, use his chainsword to attack the black line positions on the light sword in Samael's hand.
Crack!
Both swords shattered simultaneously, greatly astonishing Samael.
This surprise was similar to when you were a child squatting on the ground teasing an ant with a small twig, and the ant bit off the twig in your hand.
Good opportunity!
Berserk!
Roy seized the moment of Samael's astonishment, quickly entered Berserk mode, and then used the Nephilim's special ability to materialize Chaos Energy into fists and attack Samael.
Ora ora ora!
After a few punches, Samael finally snapped back to reality.
"Damn it, do you think attacks like this can hurt me?"
Roy naturally knew that he couldn't possibly kill Samael by hitting him all day. He just wanted to try and make black lines appear on Samael with his attacks, even if it was just a black dot.
Samael began to fight back. Even without a weapon, he could easily beat Roy senseless.
Fortunately, at this moment, Lilith finally recovered and began using the Great Prophecy.
Currently, the Angel of Wisdom had lost most of her power. Carrying the fight was impossible; she could only play a support role.
However, even in a support role, Lilith's Great Prophecy was extremely powerful.
"God said: I will surely bless you and make a covenant with you!"
Roy suddenly felt an endless surge of power in his body. Looking at the system panel, he saw that his physical attributes had received a temporary bonus of 50.
This meant that, after transforming into his Nephilim form and receiving the blessing of Lilith's Great Prophecy, Roy's Strength, Agility, and Physique attributes reached 140, 134, and 152 respectively.
What kind of concept was this?
Roy felt like he could punch down the World Trade Center right now, without having to wait until 2001.
But even with such powerful physical attributes, Roy could only barely withstand Samael's attacks, not being spun around like a top as before.
If Death hadn't been constantly interfering with Samael, Roy would probably have been in a resurrection match long ago.
This won't work!
After fighting for a while, Roy hadn't found any black lines or black dots on Samael, indicating that his influence on Samael was still insufficient.
Was there any way to make Samael reveal a weakness?
Roy looked at Samael's face, which belonged to Carrie, and suddenly thought of a method, though it might be very cruel.
"Carrie, can you hear me?"
"Are you calling the name of this body? Hahaha, it's useless! That cowardly little girl is already dead!"
Talking about death in front of the Eye of Death, Samael still hadn't learned enough lessons.
So, this guy was smug for less than three seconds before realizing that his body was starting to disobey him. It seemed another consciousness was vying for control of the body.
"This is impossible!"
Just like being choked by saliva just now, the possibility of Carrie's soul not being extinguished existed, it was just very low. Death's role was to amplify this possibility to the maximum.
Thus, Samael's expression began to change rapidly, like a Sichuan opera face-changer. Then, Carrie's voice emerged.
"Roy, is that you?"
"Carrie, it's me!"
With Carrie's appearance, Roy finally saw a not-so-obvious black spot appear on Samael's body.
However, Samael also realized that the resurgence of Carrie's soul would affect him.
"Foolish human, why do you come out looking for death again! Isn't it better to quietly dissipate?"
Saying this, Samael tried to extract Carrie's soul from the body.
Roy attacked to distract Samael while talking to Carrie.
"Carrie, hold on! Think about Madison, think about Zoe, think about Maria!"
The names of the three witches from the Apocalypse Cult changed Carrie's mindset.
Carrie had always been a relatively timid girl with no strong opinions. She was bullied by her classmates at school and subjected to emotional abuse by her mother at home. One could say her life was very tragic.
It was precisely because of this that Carrie cherished the friendships of Madison, Zoe, and Maria, who treated her as an equal.
Oh, and Roy, Misty, and Wendy, who had always helped Carrie.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Madison, Zoe, Maria, Misty, and Wendy, the five witches, all appeared at the edge of the battlefield.
Roy looked at the five witches speechless.
"How did you guys get back here!"
Zoe answered Roy with a wry smile.
"I had just taken Madison and Zoe back to where we came in, and then that door shattered. Then Silent Hill switched to the Otherworld, and we were completely driven here by the monsters!"
Only the area where Roy and Samael were fighting had no monsters, so the five witches could only run here.
As for the disappearance of the spatial passage, it was likely that Samael's arrival had sealed this world.
Carrie, controlling her body, shed a tear from the corner of her eye, deeply moved by seeing the three little witches from the Apocalypse Cult. Infinite power suddenly surged from the depths of her heart, temporarily regaining control of the body.
"You, are you all here for me?"
Madison, Zoe, and Maria all nodded simultaneously.
"Yes, Carrie, we heard about you from Roy and immediately rushed to Silent Hill!"
Carrie controlled her body, a tear tracing a path down her cheek.
This tear made Samael furious. He was a tough, iron-blooded man, how could he cry?
Even if he were to shed tears, he would never let anyone see them.
Samael regained control of the body, and a dazzling red light erupted from him. This clearly indicated he was getting serious.
"No matter who you are, you will all die here today!"
At this point, Lilith understood that the key to victory lay in Carrie's soul currently within Samael's body.
Even with enhancements and the Death Buff, Roy couldn't defeat Samael head-on.
"Carrie, only you can help your friends now! Everyone needs you!"
Lilith's words made the red light on Samael instantly disappear. He once again spoke in the girl's voice.
"I, what should I do?"
"Concentrate your will, and fight Samael with good thoughts!"
"I, I'll try—"
Carrie's voice abruptly stopped. Samael had once again seized back control of the body.
The Lord of Wrath, in his extreme anger, just raged for a moment.
"Damn Uriel, I should have killed you first!"
Saying this, Samael flashed in front of Lilith, intending to kill her completely.
But at this moment, Crowlia, who had been observing the whole time, suddenly fired continuously with her engine beam gun, attempting to interfere with Samael. She had also realized that the battle had reached a critical point.
Crowlia's firepower was clearly insufficient to harm Samael, but it gave Roy a momentary chance to save Lilith.
Roy's materialized Chaos Energy fist flew over and hit Samael's body just right, causing his red light sword to deviate slightly, only slicing off one of Lilith's arms.
The Angel of Wisdom had already foreseen this situation. Facing such injury, she remained unfazed and calmly began to recite.
"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and in my name, Uriel, witness this sacred moment..."
This was not the incantation of the Great Prophecy, but a Christian blessing.
This set of words didn't have the strict speed restrictions of the Great Prophecy and could be recited quickly. Its purpose was to bless Carrie's soul.
As an old colleague, Samael immediately understood Lilith's purpose.
"Shut up!"
Samael wanted to cut off Lilith's head directly, but Roy had already rushed to Lilith's side, blocking the red light sword with materialized Chaos Energy.
"...witness Carrie become a saint of God! Lord, you are the creator of the universe, the ruler of all things, please bestow your grace upon this devout believer, so that she may find light and salvation in the darkness..."
Samael kicked the troublesome Roy away and once again stabbed towards Lilith's face with the red light sword, seemingly trying to mangle Lilith's mouth.
However, at this moment, a holy light descended from the sky and struck Samael.
The entire Silent Hill world was dark, with only light on Samael, like a spotlight on a stage.
But Samael definitely didn't want this kind of spotlight, because he had lost control of his body once again.
As Lilith continued to recite the blessing, Carrie's soul grew stronger and stronger, already beginning to break free from Samael's suppression.
"Don't, think, you, can, stop, me!"
Samael erupted with terrifying red energy, trying to suppress Lilith's soul again, and then used his not-so-obedient hand to grab Lilith's neck.
"Uriel, I still won!"
But Samael did not see the expression he wanted to see on Lilith's face. Instead, there was a faint smile, the kind that sees the dawn of victory.
"No, I won."
The next second, Samael's body was hit by chaos rays released from Roy's eyes in the distance.
"This is impossible!"
Samael's eyes widened. He felt his body was collapsing, and this collapse was completely unstoppable.
Because Roy successfully hit Samael's vital point, this body was already conceptually dead. This was the terrifying effect of the Eye of Death.
[Ding! Obtained Carrie's Fate Chest! Open it?]
"Go to hell, all of you!"
Having lost his physical body, Samael couldn't stay in the human world for long. The enraged Samael still wanted to unleash one last burst and drag everyone into Hell with him.
But Lilith, now free, continued to recite the blessing at this moment.
"Saint Carrie, may you be humble, may you be diligent, may you be generous, may you be chaste, may you be gentle, may you be temperate, may you be forgiving!"
These were the seven virtues of Christianity, corresponding to the seven deadly sins.
The holy light descending from the sky grew brighter and brighter. In the holy light, Carrie's soul emitted a brilliant golden light, as dazzling as the sun, directly suppressing Samael's power.
Sacred music played, and under the golden light's brilliance, the entire Silent Hill world and Samael's last remaining power completely collapsed.
"Uriel, I curse you!"
Filled with raging anger, Samael returned to Hell.
[Ding! Obtained Samael's Fate Chest! Open it?]
Meanwhile, Roy and the others stood in the real Silent Hill, without the darkness and monsters, nor the thick fog and ash.
But, Carrie was dead.
"Carrie!" ×N
The three little witches from the Apocalypse Cult rushed over, but could only see Carrie's soul ascending. She didn't even leave a body behind, disintegrating into dust under the effect of the Eye of Death.
Roy, back in his human form, watched Carrie's soul in silence. This was the first time he had killed a good person, and someone he knew. This feeling was very difficult to bear.
"I'm sorry, Carrie."
Several of the witches started crying, especially the three from the Apocalypse Cult, weeping buckets of tears, their makeup smeared.
But Carrie's soul looked very happy.
"It's great that everyone is okay!"
"Carrie, boo hoo..."
The only one unaffected by the atmosphere was probably Lilith, who wore a relieved smile on her face.
At this moment, a light and playful string melody began to play, somewhat out of sync with the current mood.
"Uriel, I'm so sorry, I seem to be late again!"
Before anyone knew it, a blond boy wearing a black priest's robe appeared in the distance, holding a harp in his arms.
It was this blond boy who had just played the music.
Roy looked at the blond youth in surprise. Lilith's attitude indicated that this guy was definitely not ordinary.
"Raphael, you will never understand the importance of being on time, but thankfully you are not too late today. Please, let their friend return."
"That's a small matter! Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy this piece of music from me!"
An incredibly beautiful melody was played by the blond youth. Everyone at this moment showed expressions of happiness, even the crying witches stopped shedding tears.
Then, countless specks of light gathered in front of Roy, gradually forming the shape of a girl.
"Roy, am I resurrected?"
