Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 446 - Unlucky



Chapter 446: Unlucky

How many demons were there in the entire Demon World? No one knew.

The Purgatory Space of the Devil May Cry world could be regarded as an ‘ancient battlefield’, and its recorded history could be traced back to nearly ten thousand years ago. Countless demons had reproduced and thrived here, and demons were born and dying every moment. In such a long time, there were many variant and mutant species that were different from the Abyss demons. It could be said that this place had evolved into a ‘new Abyss’.

During the chaotic battle, Roy had been observing carefully, and he found a situation that made him concerned—insect-type demons accounted for the majority of the Demon World, and there were all three levels of lower, middle, and upper.

Insect-type demons were the most important branch of demons. Even in the Abyss, they were the most famous and oldest demons, and their ancestor was Beelzebub, one of the Seven Demon Kings… Roy had traveled in the Abyss for many years, but he had not seen as many insect-type demons as there were in the Demon World!

Generally speaking, if a ruler appeared among the demons entrenched in a certain area, then the racial composition of these demons would usually be the same race as the ruler. This was the tendency for the same race. For example, Roy was a frost demon, so he would try recruiting frost demons as much as possible when recruiting subordinates. For flame demon lords, they would also try recruiting flame demons as much as possible as their subordinates. Even if there were not that many flame demons, they would at least recruit fire-type demons.

Now, there were so many insect-type demons in the Demon World, and even Sparda, the former general of the Demon World, was also an insect-type demon. Inferring to this tendency, Roy could not help but wonder if Mundus, the ruler of the Demon World, was also an insect-type demon.

On the battlefield, the one with the highest killing efficiency was actually Junia. She had already gone crazy from killing, and she was constantly shuttling through the sky. Dark golden flames turned into a meteor shower from time to time and smashed onto the ground, burning the demons on the ground, causing them to scream again and again. Fat Tiger had the next highest killing efficiency, and he held a piece of territory with Cerberus. The two giant beasts were like meat grinders, crushing the demons that pounced on them into pieces.

Compared to them, Sparda, Dante, Vergil, and Nero, this group of grandfather, father, and son had the lowest killing efficiency because they almost all used sword skills. Although there were also large-scale AoE sword skills, sword skills were naturally much slower at killing than magic… However, the four of them killed the most high-rank demons…

After releasing Glimmering Dawn to strike the ground, Roy did not attack much. Only when some overconfident fellows flew over to attack him would he deal with them. Most of the time, Roy was conserving his energy and waiting for Mundus to appear.

Even though Sparda had said that Mundus was not a true demon king, Roy did not dare to be careless. He had seen the demon king clones of Samael and Lilith and knew very well how terrifying demon kings were. Even if a pseudo-demon king like Mundus could not compare to Samael and Lilith, he would not be as easy to deal with as a demon lord of the same level. It was necessary to make preparations.

In addition, Roy was still paying attention to the slowly rotating spatial channel in the sky. To be honest, he did not expect that Sparda would not hesitate to split his body to seal this thing. But on second thought, Sparda had once sealed the passage between the human world and the Demon World, so now it seemed normal for him to seal the passage to the twin world.

Now that the seal was broken, and the channel appeared, since the Demon World could see it, could the twin world see it as well? If the angels on the other side noticed the channel appear, would they send troops over?

About twenty minutes later, Roy’s premonition came true. A golden light suddenly appeared in the dark spatial channel!

Roy felt that it was the power of holy light, so he immediately roused his spirits and looked at the channel. Then he saw a… strange-looking angel appear!

Due to passing through the spatial channel, when this angel appeared, it was the entire transformation process from transparent to corporeal. As this angel gradually became clearer, Roy saw his full appearance. He was a strange angel that looked somewhat like a bird. He only had one eye in the middle of his head, and his whole head looked like a bird’s beak. His hands were not five fingers but three fingers that looked like bird claws. The legs below were the same. They were inverse joint legs, and his feet also had three bird claws, but they were thicker than his finger claws.

His body was an upright human figure, and his lower body was wrapped in a white battle skirt. His upper body was bare, and only on his two arms were there simple golden ornaments. On his back was a pair of pure white wings, but the edges of the wings were golden. He held a golden spear in his bird claw-like hands, and at the tip of the spear was a cross-shaped jaw. Other than that, he had no other equipment, so he looked very shabby. He was probably just a lowest-level angel who came to scout.

But even the lowest-level angel was a true angel! Above this strange angel’s head, a golden ring was shining with holy light.

This was an angel halo, a ‘crown’ condensed from holy power, a symbol of an angel’s identity. In other words, this strange, even ugly-looking ‘birdman’ was indeed a true angel!

Every angel knew how to condense an angel halo, but not every angel would wear it all the time. Wearing an angel halo was usually only in one situation, and that was when they needed to spread their doctrines and faith… This was also why the angels that Roy had encountered in the past did not have this thing on their heads—when angels encountered demons, it was impossible for them to preach, and they would only fight and kill.

This lowest-level angel who came to scout clearly did not understand the situation, so when he appeared, he was still wearing his angel halo and looked rather solemn. But when he emerged and saw the scene of countless demons fighting below, he was immediately dumbfounded!

The most ridiculous thing was that the moment the demons sensed the holy light that was completely incompatible with the dense dark power in the surroundings, the millions of demons raised their heads and looked at this uninvited guest.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing here? Should I run?

Being looked at by so many enemies with bloodthirsty and vicious eyes, just like a little lamb that fell into a pack of wolves, this low-level angel was so terrified that he almost wet himself. He had only been ordered to investigate this spatial channel that suddenly appeared, and he had never thought that he would encounter such a big scene.

After regaining his senses, he hurriedly turned around and wanted to return through the spatial channel. But before he could reach the pitch-black spatial vortex, a tremendous force grabbed his body.

To this low-level angel, this force was so powerful that he could not resist it at all. His entire body could no longer move as this force pulled him away from the spatial channel and dragged him back.

After the low-level angel stopped, he realized that there was a tall demon in front of him!

“Even angels are like this?” After Roy captured this angel with his Psychokinesis, he placed him in front of him to observe him and ridiculed. “This is basically defective, right?”

Rafaro said, “It isn’t like that. This guy should be an ‘ancient angel’. When the Elder Wars broke out in Ashan, we faceless had encountered some ancient angels like this. It’s said that these ancient angels are the appearance of the first-generation angels…”

“First-generation angels?” Roy said in surprise, “Did angels look like this back then? It looks even uglier than demons!”

“Isn’t that so?” Rafaro said. “But you have to remember that all living creatures can evolve, and it’s the same for angels. In order to better spread their doctrines and beliefs, they’ve evolved into becoming more and more beautiful. Moreover, because most of the objects they spread their doctrines and beliefs to are humans, their looks became more and more like humans…”

“What’s this? Is this necessary for business?” Roy shook his head in amusement. He grabbed the wings of this low-level angel and sized it up. “Then why didn’t this guy evolve?”

“Who knows?” Rafaro also found it a little strange. “Perhaps they resist evolution. Why don’t you ask Sparda? Hasn’t that guy been dealing with these ancient angels for thousands of years?”

“Forget it. Who cares so much? No matter what it looks like, it’s still an angel!” Roy said as he tore the low-level angel in half.

Blood and feathers fell from the sky. After the angel corpse that Roy tore in half fell to the ground, the demons below immediately fought to devour it. Even the soul did not escape… This guy was unlucky. An angel had actually intruded into a battlefield of demons, and he could only die.

“If the scout doesn’t return, the angels on the other side should become much more cautious,” Roy said. “They won’t disturb me for the time being, but this will arouse their vigilance. They might block the exit on the other side. If Mundus wants to use this channel to do something, then he has to come out quickly to deal with us…”

As soon as he finished speaking, a red cross-shaped lightning bolt suddenly erupted from the rotating pentagram in the sky above Demon King City in the distance. The entire magic formation turned into a curtain of countless light beams amid the lightning.

Then in the dark night sky, three blood-red eyes arranged in a triangle appeared.

These three blood-red eyes were extremely bright and dazzling as they floated in the sky like three enormous searchlights with electric sparks flashing around them.

Mundus finally broke the seal and appeared. He looked at the entire battlefield like a god…
