Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 285 The Disappearing Light

When Benia saw Roy taking out the Sword of Frost, using that strange purple transformation beam to turn it into a piece of candy, and then immediately licking it with his tongue, she was more certain of her guess.

She was not Julia. She had not been with Roy for long and did not understand him well enough. But now, she realized that his sudden evolution of this ability was not coincidental. His true goal was probably to digest this sword with powerful ice power.

It was not uncommon for the demons of the Abyss to have many strange powers, but Benia had never seen ones like Roy who had the ability to evolve in a targeted manner.

He’s a born demon king! My choice isn’t wrong! Benia thought.

The Sword of Frost in Roy’s hand was currently a large lollipop. This sword contained immense energy, and he knew that it would not last long under the effect of the Transfiguration Beam, so he did not turn it into chocolate to eat. Otherwise, it would be too disgusting to swallow and have to spit it out again, so he might as well digest it slowly while licking like this.

The duration of the Sword of Frost’s transformation was only about eight seconds, shorter than Rafaro’s. Every time Roy changed it, he could only lick it as quickly as possible.

The Transfiguration Beam also required Roy to consume a lot of magic power, but his plan was very successful. Every time he licked, a wisp of the energy contained in the Sword of Frost would fuse into his body. He could feel the heart-penetrating cold energy slowly transforming into his own magic power, reinforcing and strengthening the magic power circuit in his body. Every time he digested a little, he tried to use his magic power to create frost and feel its temperature, and then he found that the temperature of the frost was gradually decreasing.

After many licks, the blade of the Sword of Frost began to shrink. From the big sword at first, it gradually became a small dagger. As it lost energy, the duration of the Transfiguration Beam became longer and longer.

Finally, when there was only a little left, Roy turned it into candy, threw it with the hilt into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed it.

This meant that he had digested the entire Sword of Frost and used such a strange method to eliminate a divine artifact-level item. This was simply unprecedented. Let alone the indigenous dragon Rafaro, even Julia and Benia were dumbfounded.

“Everyone, get out of the way!” Roy said to Julia and the others. “It’s best if you leave this fortress temporarily!”

Julia knew that Roy was going to test his abilities, so she hurriedly got Fat Tiger and the others to leave. After spending a long time with Roy, she knew how terrifying Roy’s ice power was.

Seeing everyone leaving, Rafaro certainly did not dare to stay and immediately flew into the air. After he left, an extremely terrifying cold tide erupted in the fortress!

When Roy began to make a large amount of frost, countless tiny water droplets and tiny crystals appeared in a radius of hundreds of meters around him. The tiny water droplets were the phenomenon of the atmosphere liquefying at low temperatures, and the tiny crystals were the phenomenon of the moisture in the atmosphere solidifying. With the emergence of the extreme cold, he felt as though the entire atmosphere was being ‘dismembered’. All kinds of elements were being separated at this moment!

When Julia and the others looked down from the sky, it was a different kind of scene. In the upper half of Dendera City, a blurry illusion of distorted light had appeared. There was clearly no wind, but Roy’s position was like a giant wind hole, causing countless airflows to flow toward him, forming an enormous vortex. As soon as these airflows entered the range of his magic power, they immediately liquefied and separated.

What was even more strange was that there was no crystalized ice around where Roy was standing. The ground, paved with a large number of solid limestone slabs, was instantly attacked by this sudden ultra-low temperature. It did not even have time to freeze before it became incomparably fragile. Roy stomped gently, and the ground disintegrated from the weak vibration, turning into countless fine powder. Under the influence of the airflow, many solid particles of various sizes rose.

Even some metal objects became exceptionally fragile in this range. When the tiny crystals falling from the sky hit them, they made cracking sounds and broke into fragments… Roy succeeded. He had digested the power of the Sword of Frost and easily created an extremely cold frost power of -253°C. At this temperature, a terrifying and formidable scene appeared in the normal material world. It could be said that within the hundreds of meters around Roy, humans and animals were extinct. Let alone ordinary life, even the vast majority of microorganisms could not survive!

Of course, the range of this extreme cold was not very large. Roy could maintain the temperature of -253°C for five hundred meters around him, but it might only be -220°C a kilometer away from him. The farther away, the higher the temperature, unless Roy was willing to increase the consumption of magic power and expand the range of the ultra-low temperature.

Fortunately, Roy was in the city hall, and it was built on the highest elevation area of the fortress. Cassandra’s undead troops and the low and low-middle demons that Benia had summoned during this time were not in this area. Otherwise, there would probably be a large number of casualties.

Without a doubt, Roy’s ice power now had unimaginable lethality!

In the past, when he could only create a temperature of less than -100°C, even if he could instantly freeze creatures, they would not die at this temperature. They would only fall into a low-temperature dormant state. It was just like the hibernation chambers used in human science fiction movies for long-term space travel. In theory, the creatures frozen at that temperature would remain alive as long as the ice did not break.

But now, at the temperature Roy created after absorbing the power of the Sword of Frost, ordinary creatures no longer had the possibility of living after being frozen. The moment they were frozen, it was equivalent to all their cells completely dying under the ultra-low temperature of -253°C, and there was no possibility of recovery. It could be said that within a five-hundred-meter radius of Roy, it was a domain of complete extinction. Any unprepared creature would only have death after stepping into this domain…

It was also because Roy was a frost demon and had absorbed the energy of the Eternal Frost Crystal that he could use this temperature freely. Otherwise, just like Gelu previously, if he wanted to use his magic power to fully activate the power of the Sword of Frost to create his current low temperature, he would also be attacked by this low temperature. Although this could certainly kill the enemy, he would die as well!

Such powerful ice power was not something that anyone could control…

Looking at the terrifying scene that usually did not exist in the natural world around him, Roy was very satisfied. He felt that obtaining the Sword of Frost was probably his greatest harvest in this world.

Correspondingly, when Roy could use his magic power to create an ultra-low temperature of -253°C, the Cryogenic Fate skill he made before became obsolete.

Cryogenic Fate: At the cost of consuming additional magic power, forcibly reduces the temperature of frost power to -200°C. This state can continue until the amount of magic power drops to zero.

He created this skill for forcibly reducing the temperature of his ice power. Fortunately, he did not consume too many souls to make it. After all, this skill increased the consumption of magic power as a substitute. Moreover, the key was that he could change and strengthen all the skills he created by modifying their attributes.

Roy looked at his stock of souls in the system. He had only needed thirty thousand standard souls, but Julia and the others brought back almost forty thousand standard souls. After using thirty thousand, there were around 9,800 left. Roy guessed that it was enough, so he began to modify the Cryogenic Fate skill and redefine its attribute.

Cryogenic Fate: At the cost of consuming additional magic power, continue to reduce the temperature of the frost that can be created currently.

In other words, Roy no longer set a specific value for this skill because he felt that this skill might be the opportunity for him to break through to absolute zero in the future. It was definitely unrealistic to use souls to achieve absolute zero. In that case, he would use magic power as a substitute. As long as his magic power was powerful enough, he would be able to reach the lower limit of temperature one day.

The modification of the definition this time did not exceed Roy’s expectations. It only took more than six hundred souls. This made Roy understand one thing. In the future, it was best to define his skills to allow for growth so that there would be room for sustainable development in the future.

After completing the skill, Roy stopped releasing his magic power and began to restore it. After his magic power was full, Roy cast Cryogenic Fate on himself.

With the blue light on his body, Roy exerted all the magic power in his body!

He wanted to try. When he used all his magic power, under the effect of Cryogenic Fate, how low was the temperature he could create?

Therefore, Julia and the others, who had been paying close attention to Roy, suddenly saw… an indescribable scene! Roy, who had been standing on the ground, suddenly turned into… absolute black! He had no appearance, only an outline, seemingly like a brush had painted a piece of white paper black. On the edge of his body, there were some mist-like light and shadows…

This indescribable scene only lasted for a moment, not even a second before Roy’s figure suddenly appeared. He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. “W-what happened just now?” Benia asked in astonishment.

“I don’t know!” Julia’s face was solemn. “The area around his body seemed to have entered a mysterious state. That absolute blackness gives people the feeling that… light has disappeared?!”
