Custom Made Demon King

Raelag eventually escaped as Roy hoped, but the troops he led basically remained underground.

Before the battle ended, Rafaro impatiently began cleaning the battlefield.

In the army of the Shadowbrand clan, about sixty black dragons and shadow dragons had participated in the battle. Most of them were adult dragons around three hundred years old. But despite there being many of them, the fight had erupted in this underground world after all. There was limited space they could use, so most of the black dragons and shadow dragons could not fully display their effectiveness.

On Roy’s side, the main force in slaughtering the dragons was Julia, Benia, Fat Tiger, and Rafaro. Under the cover of Cassandra’s bone dragons, they struck down numerous dragons from the air.

These black dragons and shadow dragons they beat down suffered severe injuries. But with the support of their powerful vitality, they would not die anytime soon, which gave Rafaro the opportunity to absorb the life force of these dragons.

This colossal black spectral dragon walked on the battlefield and did not care about the feelings of his race at all. He took away the last remaining life force from the dying black dragons and shadow dragons, as well as some other creatures of the dark elves that had not died. The massive amount of life force turned into specks of starlight and fused into his body.

Roy was also standing in the middle of the battlefield, with a Soul Attracting Flag inserted into the ground, collecting the souls of the entire battlefield. At the same time, he witnessed Rafaro’s changes.

He watched as fascia appeared on Rafaro’s black skeleton bit by bit, followed by blood vessels and muscles. It was slightly horrifying to see him slowly recover his body from the inside out, especially in his empty chest. The process of his internal organs gradually appearing was truly terrifying. Dong dong! Dong dong! A muffled, drum-like sound came. Rafaro’s dragon heart started beating again! The sound started low, then slowly became more powerful.

At this moment, Rafaro had become… How should he put it? He was like a colossal skinned dragon because his dragon skin had not recovered. Roy could clearly see all his muscle tissues, as though he was looking at an anatomical diagram.

“Not enough! Not enough! Just a little more!” Rafaro’s depressed roar came, seeming very anxious.

He looked more terrifying than when he was only bare bones. Although it was not bloody, looking at the exposed muscles was horrifying. Roy did not know what this resurrection mystic technique was or why the resurrection process was like this…

Rafaro walked over with heavy steps and said to Roy gloomily, “Osiris, I still need more life force. When will your plan begin? When will the next battle be?”

“The plan has already begun, but we still need to wait for the next battle. You’ll have to stay looking like this for a while!” Roy said. “We have to stay underground during this time. You may be able to find underground creatures like troglodytes to absorb life force from.”

“No, I can’t absorb much from those lowly fellows!” Rafaro shook his gigantic flesh and blood head, and there was disdain in the eyes, which had already condensed. “I want to absorb the life force of dragons, preferably from the same race!”

“You’ll likely be disappointed. The only dark elves in this realm are the Shadowbrand clan, and we just killed all their troops!” Roy touched his demon horns. “I’m afraid you won’t be able to find other black dragons in the near future.”

Rafaro carefully lowered his body and lay on the ground, afraid of touching the fragile muscles on his body. He said in annoyance, “Damn it, why is it so close? Dragon scales are the greatest essence of dragons. Without the protection of dragon scales, my combat strength is much lower.”

Indeed, his flesh body had recovered, but without the protection of his dragon scales, Rafaro had to be careful of enemy attacks injuring the flesh he had just grown. He was now stuck at the weakest period in his resurrection process.

Roy could not be bothered to comfort him and concentrated on collecting souls. At this moment, the left and right heads of Fat Tiger were holding the tail of a black dragon and the tail of a shadow dragon, which he had taken off two enormous corpses. He placed them in front of Roy and then looked at him with anticipation.

“…” Roy looked at Fat Tiger speechlessly. He had definitely named him correctly. This guy had completely evolved into a glutton, and now, he wanted to taste black dragon and shadow dragon.

Of course, Rafaro could tell what Fat Tiger wanted to do. He stood up wordlessly and found a corner to lie down again. He already had a flesh body and could imagine himself in their place now. He felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Roy roasting dragon meat…

Not long later, Julia and Benia returned. After flapping their wings and landing, Julia said to Roy, “Darling, according to your instructions, Benia and I chased after Raelag for a while. We pursued him all the way to the surface and deliberately drove him to escape toward the alliance army. Raelag doesn’t know, but if he keeps running like this, he’ll almost certainly run into the alliance army!”

“Good job!” Roy nodded in satisfaction.

The surveillance of the Demon Eyes had never stopped, so Roy had always grasped the movements of Xeron’s demon army in the city of Ur-Hekal. And the day before yesterday, he had already discovered that the demon army there was showing signs of substantial mobilization. It was probably to guard against the alliance army’s attack.

Xeron was gathering most of the troops in Ur-Hekal, and the defenses in the rest of the demon cities in Eeofol were naturally much weaker. Thus, these cities would have difficulty resisting the alliance army. The alliance army would break into Eeofol’s interior like a hot knife through butter.

But when the alliance army arrived at Ur-Hekal, it might not be able to continue advancing because they would face a demon army of millions here!

Xeron wanted to ensure that the sacrificial ritual for the last nine days would finish smoothly. If the alliance army did not know his plan, then after probing the massive demon army a few times, it would definitely realize its powerlessness and retreat.

Roy understood this, so he drove Raelag in the direction of Ur-Hekal. This way, if nothing unexpected happened, Raelag would be attacking the city with the alliance army.

The relationship between the dark elves and the other races was rather bad. But because it concerned Queen Isabel of Erathia, Roy was certain that what Raelag said would attract their attention. If they were at most doing probing attacks on Ur-Hekal before they knew, then after Raelag came, they would have to think of a way to attack Ur-Hekal with all their might!

This battle was sure to be extremely bitter. If Roy were to return now, Xeron would definitely make his troops take the lead. Although the number of troops he brought crushed the dark elves, it was still not enough to deal with the alliance army. So Roy had to use the excuse of recuperating to stay in the underground world for a few days, instead of returning when the battle was at its worst.

Such a battle was the best chance to obtain souls. If Roy did not return, he might lose many opportunities, but it did not matter. Someone would help him collect themXeron!

Roy believed that Xeron was also ambitious. No high-rank demon would give up on the idea of becoming a demon lord. Although Xeron had submitted to Kha-Beleth, he would certainly collect souls to strengthen himself. In such a battle, it was impossible for him to immediately devour all the souls he collected, so he had to store them in a book of souls first.

In Roy’s plan, Xeron had to die! This way, as long as he killed Xeron, the souls he collected would all belong to Roy…

Standing in the middle of the battlefield, Roy swayed his tail and pondered over the situation. The only thing he was worried about now was Kha-Beleth.

There might be a big battle if he wanted to kill Xeron. If the fighting dragged on for too long, it would inevitably lead to Kha-Beleth discovering it. If he suddenly appeared to help Xeron while they were fighting, then Roy would be in big trouble!

Therefore, Roy had to choose the right moment to fall out and fight Xeron!

Now, the most important and concerning thing for Kha-Beleth was the Child of Taboo in Isabel’s stomach. This was his top priority. Roy’s greatest advantage now was that he had used the Demon Eye to spy on the sacrificial chamber and learned the time needed to complete the ritual.

If he chose to fight Xeron when Isabel was about to give birth, Kha-Beleth might not dare to appear to help Xeron. He would definitely wait by Isabel’s side to ensure the successful birth of the Dark Messiah…

Roy’s eyes gleamed. He decided to fight Xeron on the day Isabel gave birth.

Although Xeron did not know that he was the low-rank demon Osiris, he had been guarding against him. Or rather, he would not completely trust any of his subordinates now. When the time came, and he appeared with his troops, there might not be any chance to sneak attack. In that case…

Let’s fight openly!

Neither Xeron nor Kha-Beleth knew that Roy had already calculated the birth time of the Dark Messiah. Perhaps when Roy appeared with his army, Xeron’s expression would be marvelous!
