Custom Made Demon King

With the light of the magic formation shining, Julia, Benia, and Cassandra, who was holding Sareth, appeared in the formation one after another.

As soon as Julia saw Roy, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Darling, it’s great that you’re fine. You suddenly disappeared when we returned. I was so worried.” “Yeah, I’m fine!” Roy replied. “Perhaps it’s because I promoted, I was teleported directly from the Gate of the Abyss to a lower level. I called you over after I found a place to settle down.”

“Where is this?” Benia looked around curiously, but she could not see too clearly in the white blizzard.

“My territory!” Roy grinned. “From now on, I am a genuine demon lord!”

Benia understood Roy’s meaning when she heard this and immediately said excitedly, “So, this is where the demon lords are, the world of the powerhouses?”

Roy released Fat Tiger and Rafaro at this time. Seeing them all sizing up this new world in high spirits, Roy explained, “There are a few things you have to pay attention to. Don’t get close to the edges of this world. They’re spatial faults. Without powerful magic power and the protection of space magic, it’s very dangerous. It might cause your body to be separated from space, or you might accidentally intrude into other worlds. You might also be sucked into spatial turbulence! Not every fault plane is safe.”

Julia and the others nodded in understanding.

“So, I suggest you start learning space magic. There are many fragmented spaces in this level of the Abyss, so just in case, it’s better to learn some space magic.” Roy continued, “In addition, I’m still not sure if this territory connects to the territories of other demon lords, so we have to set up sentries!”

“Then, we need manpower, a lot of manpower!” Benia said. “But even so, we probably won’t be able to monitor all the entrances.”

“It doesn’t matter. We don’t need to monitor them all!” Roy said. “I’ll summon some low-level demons and build a palace on this volcano. At that time, we only need to set the sentries outside the palace.”

Hearing that Roy was planning to build a city here, Julia felt glad. “Then it won’t be a problem. To be honest, I was worried that you were going to build a city on the icy plain. Although we can endure the cold, it won’t work for a long time. We can’t compare to a frost demon like you.”

Roy quickly got to work. He took out some of his souls as bait, connected the summoning formation to altars in the upper levels of the Abyss, and began to summon low-level demons.

This summoning was different from summoning demons to fight in other worlds. If they participated in a war, low-level demons could easily hunt souls on the battlefield, so he did not need too much bait or offerings. But he was only building a city on his territory, and there was no war to speak of, so he naturally had to provide the corresponding remuneration.

Of course, as a demon lord, although he could provide nothing and directly order and enslave low-level demons, this method would not last long. Even low-rank demons were intelligent creatures that had their own thoughts. Over time, low-level demons would either die because of a lack of food or run away because they could not bear the burden.

Roy was not a tyrannical demon lord, so he naturally would not use this method.

While he was summoning demons, Rafaro was circling high in the sky, curiously sizing up the environment below. As a creature created by Roy, he did not receive any repulsion in the Abyss. But it was his first time coming to the legendary Abyss, so he naturally had to satisfy his curiosity.

In the world of Ashan, many races were afraid and terrified of the world where demons lived. They called it Hell and imagined a terrible world and environment with all their imagination. But in fact, no one had seen the world where demons lived with their own eyes. All the legends and descriptions were delusions, and they could not be regarded as truth at all.

The environment of this fragment world that Roy chose was also very harsh. The ice and snow lower than -100°C was indeed a terrifying environment that ordinary people could not survive in, but it was still fine for Rafaro. Among the frost magic that Roy had used, Rafaro had felt temperatures lower than here, and his half-biological half-mechanical body did not feel much cold.

Rafaro flew high in the sky and patrolled Roy’s territory. The ten thousand square kilometers of land here was comparable to some small countries in Ashan. But strangely, he had been wandering for so long and did not find any living creatures on the surface. This land was totally silent.

Rafaro planned to report this situation to Roy and tell him his doubts, but the moment he returned, he saw the damn titan hellhound actually lying on the crater and playing with an enormous worm…

Although Rafaro regarded Fat Tiger as a companion, he did not feel good about him because when he was a spectral dragon, Fat Tiger had coveted his dragon bones more than once, which had always made him very angry. Even though he was reborn in this Sky Dragon body, his memories of that time still existed in his soul.

At this time, Fat Tiger was lying on the crater of the volcano, with his three heads looking curiously at the demon worm poking out of the magma.

At first, the demon worm was a little scared because it smelled Roy’s aura from Fat Tiger. Moreover, Fat Tiger’s rank was higher than it, so when he appeared, it planned to shrink back into the magma. But it did not expect Fat Tiger to pull it out before it could completely shrink back.

Fat Tiger seemed to have found a new toy and excitedly circled around the demon worm at the crater. As long as the demon worm wanted to shrink back, he would bite it and drag it out. After a few more times, the demon worm no longer dared to shrink back.

Seeing that the demon worm did not dare to move, Fat Tiger leaned forward curiously, and his three heads sized up the demon worm. Then… he stuck out his tongues and licked the demon worm one by one.

The demon worm was lucky because Fat Tiger’s three heads came to the same conclusion after licking it: This guy doesn’t taste good!

It was precisely because of this conclusion that the demon worm avoided a disaster, but it did not mean that it was not fun. Fat Tiger thought about it and suddenly rushed forward. His three heads bit the demon worm and then pulled it back.

Booming sounds came, and the ground trembled. Fat Tiger dragged the demon worm out of the magma, and its body kept sliding out of the magma. Its fear made it subconsciously twist its body, causing the ground to tremble.

Not to mention Julia and the others, even Roy watched this scene dumbfounded. Biting on to the demon worm’s head, Fat Tiger ran forward happily. In the blink of an eye, the demon worm turned into a long rope. Fat Tiger had dragged it out for two kilometers, and from the looks of it, it was still extending.

“This… This…” Benia had a shocked expression as she pointed at the demon worm. “This thing… how long is it?!”

They were already surprised when they saw Rafaro’s over one-kilometer-long body. But they did not expect that this demon worm at the middle-rank demon level would have a body longer than Rafaro’s! What kind of bizarre environment would give birth to such a monster? After being dragged onto the icy plain, the demon worm wanted to resist since it felt extremely uncomfortable in this cold environment. But Fat Tiger’s current strength was terrifying, and the demon worm could not resist at all. In the end, Fat Tiger dragged it out and ran for five kilometers before it finally left the magma!

“5,122 meters!” The electronic eye on Rafaro’s forehead measured the precise length of the demon worm and reported to Roy.

“It’s so long?!” Benia was stunned. She turned around and said to Roy, “Your Lordship, there’s probably something strange underground!”

“Something strange?” Roy did not understand.

“Yes. According to what I know, monsters like demon worms are actually very fierce. Their mouths can easily crush hard rocks, so they can travel underground. In the upper levels of the Abyss, apart from preying on some weak demons or monsters as food, they usually use minerals to supplement their food!” Benia said. “This demon worm has clearly mutated, and the mutations of demons or monsters are usually due to some kind of stimulus. I suspect that there’s some special ore underground that this demon worm has been devouring for a long time to cause this result.”

“… Makes sense!” Roy thought for a while and felt that Benia was right. Then he thought of something. “Do you think that with its massive body, if it travels underground all year round, would it have hollowed out the underground? If so, doesn’t that mean that there are many cavities under the surface?”

Julia and the others looked at each other and nodded. “It’s very likely so.”

“Then, do you want to go down and take a look?” Rafaro looked down from the sky. “I haven’t found any creatures on this icy plain. Could these creatures have hidden underground?”

“No rush!” Roy thought for a while. “This is the next step. Let’s build the city first. When the time comes, we can get the demon worm to lead the way…”
