Custom Made Demon King

Although Roy was still unclear about what the black gas in the gold was for now, he did not stop there.

He made a few more trips to the mine and mined a large amount of gold ore. He then smelted, purified, and cast it into gold bars.

After working for more than a week, Roy finally smelted a total of 1.2 tons of gold bars. One gold bar weighed around 100 grams, and 1.2 tons was more than 10,000 gold bars. Roy was dazzled by the tens of thousands of gold bars stacked together.

There was still a lot of gold ore in the mine. Roy had not even mined 1% of it. That was to say, if necessary, he could continue to go there to obtain gold.

Although gold bars were useless to Roy, don’t forget that most of the worlds that demons went to were human worlds, and in human worlds, money was everything!

It could bring happiness to people, and it could also bring corruption to people. A mature demon had to know how to use the power of money.

Demons were already very powerful creatures, and demons who knew how to make use of money were even stronger…

Like his weapon Frostmourne, Roy stored these gold bars into the system space. When he needed them, he could take them out at any time.

After he was done, Roy left his residence with Fat Tiger and headed for the nearest altar.

Even though it said nearest, it was actually more than two hundred kilometers away. The middle Abyss was vast and boundless, but the number of demons living on this level was much fewer than the upper Abyss, so there were fewer altars here.

When Roy rushed to the altar, the Gate of the Abyss coincidentally opened.

This seemed to be another war summoning. When the Gate of the Abyss opened, it was exceptionally stable and lasted for a very long time. This showed that the summoner who opened the Gate of the Abyss had extremely powerful magic power.

With such a stable and long-lasting Gate of the Abyss, the middle-rank demons gathered near the altar entered one after another. Moreover, there were demons that were continuously rushing over because they could smell the rich scent of blood coming from the other end of the Gate of the Abyss.

But Roy did not move. After being in the Heroes of Might and Magic world, he had already come to understand that it would definitely be a high-rank demon, or possibly even a demon lord, that was summoning such a large number of demons to participate in a war.

Although Roy had already promoted to middle-rank demon, and his status had improved compared to the time when he was a low-rank demon, the status issue was secondary. The real problem was the opponents he would have to face!

Those who could accommodate demons on a large scale were usually in high-magic worlds. This was because only in high-magic worlds could demons stay for a long period of time, thus establishing strongholds and summoning an endless number of troops to wage war. Although there were many opportunities to harvest a large number of souls during wars, it was also the most dangerous. Even a high-rank demon like Xeron had been killed and expelled under the siege of the dragons. Middle-rank demons were certainly not much better.

Roy felt that even if he wanted to go to such a high-magic plane, he would have to wait until he reached the high-rank demon level before going. First, he would have enough strength to protect himself, and second, he could guarantee his own interests.

Therefore, Roy waited quietly as he watched the middle-rank demons driven by their bloodthirsty nature disappear one by one into the Gate of the Abyss.

Not long later, the nearby middle-rank demons cleared out, and it became much quieter. This was also good. Roy continued to wait near the altar, and no demons came to disturb him, but he did not know how long it would take for the next Gate of the Abyss to open.

Just as Roy was thinking about this, Fat Tiger suddenly pricked up his ears, waking up from his sleep state. Roy noticed his actions and felt strange. He knew that Fat Tiger’s hearing was sharp, so he might have heard something.

“Woo…” Facing the direction of the altar, Fat Tiger let out a low growl, reminding Roy. Roy realized that the sound Fat Tiger heard might have come from the altar, so he held his breath and listened carefully.

Sure enough, Roy heard a faint voice coming from the altar when he carefully examined it.

Strange. Why is there a voice? Roy jumped onto the altar in confusion.

After arriving on the altar, the voice grew louder, but it was still difficult to hear clearly.

“My… Soul… Curse… Revenge… Hell…”

Roy could not hear these intermittent words clearly, but he felt that it seemed to be someone… someone in a certain world who had a bitter experience. Due to the hatred in his heart, he did not hesitate to use the power of demons to take revenge. He might have made a vicious oath that involved Hell, demons, and so, which was why it spread to the Absss and Roy heard it!

Although he knew that humans would sometimes take the initiative to sell their souls in exchange for the help of demons, this was the first time Roy encountered such a thing.

The problem now was that the person who made the oath did not seem to be someone with magic power. His voice could reach the Abyss because of the oath, but because he had no magic power, he could not open a Gate of the Abyss to summon demons.

Roy was a little speechless. What to do now?

If you can’t open a Gate of the Abyss, a demon won’t be able to help you! You’re hopeless, just wait for death!

It was unknown if it was because of what Roy said, but the voice suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a pitch-black soul that appeared from the altar!

Roy was stunned when he saw this soul. What’s going on?

Instinctively, Roy walked closer to the center of the magic formation and sized up the fallen soul.

He did not rashly touch this soul. Logically speaking, such a fallen soul that suddenly appeared in the Abyss was like picking up something for nothing, but for some reason, a sentence suddenly flashed in Roy’s mind.

The soul has fallen to Hell!

There really was such a situation!

Roy had always thought that the so-called ‘souls ascending to Heaven and falling to Hell’ was basically nonsense and just religious propaganda. He had harvested thousands of souls to this day, and he knew that after souls were exposed, they would gradually dissipate over time. He had never seen a soul ascend to heaven.

The only thing he had seen that ascended was Gabriel’s soul fragment. However, the archangel had taken the initiative to retrieve it, so it did not have any reference value.

Now that such a fallen soul had entered the Abyss, it has refreshed Roy’s understanding of souls.

Roy calmed down and felt what was different about this soul.

When Roy listened carefully, he immediately discovered the difference between this soul and the fallen souls he had previously obtained. There was a constant echoing voice in this soul.

“Revenge… Revenge… Revenge…”

This voice was like a murmur that kept repeating non-stop.

Most of the time, fallen souls were caused by greed and desires in human nature. However, this fallen soul seemed to be due to intense hatred. And this hatred seemed to have become an obsession that lingered in this soul.

Roy finally understood a bit about why this soul appeared in the Abyss.

This fallen soul of hatred was the offering of the summoner. This summoner did not have the magic power to open a Gate of the Abyss, but his soul could fall into the Abyss of Hell on its own accord. His goal was to seek the help of demons.

Generally speaking, even if humans were in a predicament, they would only place their hopes on gods and the like, praying for the help of gods and not demons. But the owner of this soul was clearly in despair. He might have sought help from gods and angels, but the gods and angels did not respond to him at all.

Now, Roy had two choices. One was to let go of this fallen soul and not accept this offering. This way, this soul would remain on the altar and see if other demons would come to take it until it dissipated.

The other choice was to accept this soul. Once he accepted this soul, it meant accepting the offering and establishing the contract. Roy might have to go to the world where the soul was to help him complete his revenge.

This was the privilege of a soul that offered itself…

After thinking about it for a while, Roy decided to accept this offering. In any case, he was planning on going to another world to obtain souls, so he might as well go to the world where the soul resided.

Roy reached out and grabbed the soul.

The next moment, a demon contract appeared in front of Roy. In the flames, the contract displayed its contents and the name of the soul’s owner.

The owner of the soul was named Cassandra. Yes, from the name, it was obvious that she was a woman. In the contract, her request was to kill all those who had persecuted and murdered her.

Roy read the contents of the contract carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with it. He then reached out and pressed his hand on the contract, revealing his true demon name.

Signing his name meant establishing the contract. The moment the contract was established, Roy felt a suction coming from beneath his feet. It was the magic formation beneath his feet that was absorbing his magic power!

Seeming to sense the establishment of the demon contract, the magic formation on the altar used Cassandra’s soul to locate her world and then used Roy’s magic power to activate the magic formation!

A Gate of the Abyss opened, and Roy entered with Fat Tiger.

However, when the mist of the Abyss disappeared, Roy fell into the sea!

The place he appeared did not seem to be right. It was actually in the middle of the sea. And the worst of all, it was in stormy weather, lightning, thunder, and monstrous waves!

There was also the corpse of a young girl floating in the waves…
