Custom Made Demon King

The sun was high in the sky and scorching hot.

The weather in the desert was absolutely cruel. With the scorching sun, the hot air, the huge temperature difference between day and night, and the difficult-to-detect quicksand traps, the Desert of Death was indeed worthy of its name.

But this fatal environment was only for ordinary people. It was nothing to demons from the Abyss of Hell. Even if it was hot, could it be as hot as the magma everywhere in the Abyss?

However, although the desert environment was nothing to Roy, Julia, and Fat Tiger, they still encountered trouble.

The first trouble was naturally the sunlight. Although the sun’s rays were not harmful to demons, it was in the nature of demons to hate sunlight. It was the same for Roy. He felt that his body was uncomfortable under the sunlight, and he did not look energetic. On the other hand, Julia and Fat Tiger were slightly better.

As for the second trouble, it was an emotional problem. What kind of concept was a desert that was more than a million square kilometers? To put it bluntly, even if they relied on flying, they might see the same scene after flying for an hour. Except for endless yellow sand, it was still endless yellow sand. This monotonous and unchanging environment easily made people feel irritable and bored.

Roy was tired from flying in the air, and he could not help but roar ‘Desert Camel[1]’. He felt slightly better after shouting.

Julia flew beside him. After hearing him sing, she could not help but ask curiously, “This should be a human song, right? I thought you’d be like the other demons and only know how to sing deep arias or dark war songs… I didn’t expect you to sing human songs as well.”

“Do you think it sounds nice?” Roy asked with a smile.

“It’s horrible! It’s like… the feeling of scratching the heart!” Julia thought for a while and gave a fair evaluation, causing Roy’s smile to freeze.

Goodbye, my karaoke career… Roy thought dejectedly.

Although it was rare to hear demons singing in the Abyss, there were indeed demon songs. But demon songs were usually composed of all kinds of roaring and rarely mixed with the demon language. If you saw a demon constantly making strange sounds, don’t doubt-the demon was definitely singing!

And the song was absolutely ‘disturbing’… Demon songs were a form of torture for humans. The main problem was the frequency of the sound. It was impossible for a demon’s voice to produce pleasant sounds. Not only was it rough, but it sometimes also sounded like nails scraping against glass. If ordinary humans heard demon songs, it would cause neurasthenia, mental disorders, and hallucinations.

Roy’s voice was naturally no exception. Now, he basically bid farewell to karaoke…

“Julia, sing a song?” Roy suddenly thought. “Although you’re a fallen angel now, your voice shouldn’t have changed, right? What about angel songs?”

“You want me to sing?” Julia was stunned for a moment before shaking her head awkwardly. “Even if I can sing, I’ve completely forgotten how to sing those songs…”

“It doesn’t matter. You can just hum casually!” Roy looked at her with anticipation in his eyes and encouraged her. “Improvise!”

“Okay, I’ll try…” Julia could not stand Roy’s gaze, so she could only agree and flew in the air. After some thought, she clasped her hands in front of her chest and began humming softly.

In the beginning, Julia’s voice was still very soft. But slowly, she let go, and her voice became louder.

In fact, the moment she opened her mouth, Roy was charmed by her voice. Roy did not know how Samael had molded Julia’s body, and she seemed to have retained her angelic voice perfectly!

The ethereal, vast, and beautiful voice had a power that directly struck the soul, causing people to feel an inexplicable shock after hearing it! Julia’s voice echoed in the desert, seemingly causing the heat to subside, the violent sand to become gentle, and fine sand to dance in the wind… Even Roy, a demon, felt the beauty of this voice!

Roy stared at Julia in a daze, listening to her hum the improvised song without any lyrics, and he could not regain his senses for a long time.

“How is it?” Julia asked Roy in embarrassment after singing.

Roy sighed. “Indescribable beauty! No wonder humans are willing to get close to angels. This angel song is like a big killing machine for humans. Even I almost lost myself in it… Perhaps when we go to a human world with the technology developed, I can help you record an album…”

Fat Tiger, who was smiling from ear to ear, barked three times, “Aw,” “Woo,” “Woof,” agreeing with Roy’s words. It seemed like he liked listening to Julia sing.

Julia smiled and shook her head. “I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I heard that the singing of angels can’t be recorded by human technology!”

“Is that so? Forget it. You can sing for me in the future!” Roy smiled at her.

Upon hearing this, Julia became even happier. Her heart was bursting with joy as she giggled and fluttered over to kiss Roy.

Seeing this, Fat Tiger, who was at the back, was depressed. He whimpered, wanting to reject this show of affection…

After finding something to do, it relieved the loneliness of their journey. During the day, they flew hundreds of kilometers in the desert. When night was about to fall, they were a little tired, so they immediately decided to stop and rest after seeing a small oasis.

There were very few oases in the Desert of Death. Most travelers who entered the desert could not wait to find an oasis before dying of thirst. It could be said that every oasis was very precious. Roy, Julia, and Fat Tiger could fly, so it was easier to find these oases.

In this oasis, there were some tall cacti and palm trees growing. These green plants in the endless yellow sand seemed to cause people to feel relaxed and refreshed. In the center of the oasis was a small pool. After Fat Tiger landed, he impatiently ran over and drank some water.

Roy and Julia did not need much water. But after landing, Roy found a strange phenomenon.

“Did you notice? It’s quite quiet here. There doesn’t seem to be any living creatures…” Roy said to Julia.

With Roy’s reminder, Julia realized this anomaly. Logically speaking, it was impossible for there to be such dead silence in an oasis of the desert. There was a water source here, and it should be the most lively place in the desert. But there was not even the sound of insects and birds here, only the rustling of the plants being blown by the wind.

Although it was strange, Roy and Julia did not take it too seriously after checking and finding nothing. They planned to rest for a while. And when the sun set, they would hasten on their journey during the night.

Soon, the sun sank under the sand dunes, and the Desert of Death welcomed night. In the pure night sky, the stars began to shine, and the temperature began to drop rapidly, quickly becoming cold. This huge temperature difference was unique to the desert. Roy did not mind. Now that there was no sunlight, Roy became energetic in the dark. He had rested enough, so Roy whistled and called Fat Tiger, who had been playing with water, to come back.

But not long after Roy’s whistle, he heard Fat Tiger’s exasperated roar coming from the pool!

Roy and Julia looked at each other and realized that something might have happened, so they immediately spread their wings and flew over.

After arriving at the pool, they discovered that there were unexpectedly small figures floating around Fat Tiger’s enormous body. These shadowy figures were actually surrounding and attacking Fat Tiger!

Their attack method was very strange. They slammed into Fat Tiger directly, but after colliding with him, they actually pierced through to his other side!

Fat Tiger’s exasperated roar came from this. Every time these guys passed through his body, Fat Tiger felt that his strength had disappeared a little. When he fought back against these floating figures, his huge claws would not be able to attack the enemies but passed through their bodies!

“Damn it. These guys are ghosts!” Julia was the first to react. She immediately drew her fallen angelic sword, and black flames rose from her sword. She rushed to Fat Tiger’s side and slashed at a floating ghost!

Under the sword of flames, Julia’s attack worked. Although her sword passed through the ghost’s body, the black flames ignited the ghost. With a wail, the ghost was devoured by the flames.

Julia’s attack inspired Fat Tiger. He no longer swiped his claws and bit with his mouths. Instead, he opened a mouth and sprayed out a wave of fire at the ghosts in front of him!

This fire wave instantly eliminated a large number of souls. But soon, a large number of ghosts emerged from underground to fill in!

Although Roy did not participate in the attack, he saw the way these ghosts appeared and immediately realized that there was probably something underground. “Fly!” Roy shouted to Julia and Fat Tiger. After seeing them spread their wings and fly into the air, Roy immediately pressed one hand on the ground!

With a sizzle, countless black electric arcs emerged from Roy’s palm. These powerful electric arcs spread out in an instant, covering the entire oasis. The ghosts that were drilling out from the ground and the ghosts that did not have time to fly after them all turned into ashes after the electric arcs touched them…

After finishing off most of the souls with a big move, Roy, Julia, and Fat Tiger began to clean up the remaining ghosts. They only breathed sighs of relief when they saw that there were no more.

But at this moment, the ground of the oasis began to shake slightly. Sand rose from the ground, and then skeleton arms broke out of the ground! Skeletons! Numerous skeletons! These skeletons that emerged from underground densely occupied the entire oasis. There were probably thousands of them…

Roy finally understood why there was no aura of life in this oasis! It was because this was a land of undead. After the sun set, the undead would appear and eliminate all living creatures…
