Custom Made Demon King

Perhaps because of the Magic Power Virus, Roy was now very sensitive to the fluctuations of magic power.

When he entered the underground laboratory and saw César’s body in the culture tank, Roy noticed that there was no trace of magic power in this body.

In terms of time, even if César had found the woman of the eclipse and gave birth to a half-human half-demon descendant, this demon-human body would still need more than ten years to grow into its current state. However, when César was in the Abyss, he had abandoned his original body and placed his soul in the Balotan Pillar to return to this world. It was impossible for him to spend more than ten years waiting for this body to grow slowly, so this demon-human body was forced to mature through black technology.

Precisely because of this, this demon-human body was actually just born not too long ago. No matter how powerful a demon-human body was, what the possibility of it surpassing the demon bloodline was, it was impossible to go against the laws of reality. Without the accumulation of time, it was impossible for this body to produce magic power out of thin air! César’s original body was gone. Even if this body was his child, with his bloodline, and could allow him to adapt quickly after the soul transfer, he could still only start from scratch in order to obtain magic power.

However, Roy then thought of a problem. César was originally an upper-middle-rank demon, and his original demon body had powerful magic power. Therefore, after his soul transferred over, and he started from the beginning, it would inevitably cause him a huge sense of difference, just like a millionaire suddenly becoming a poor beggar. It was not easy to adapt to this difference. With César’s intelligence, it was impossible for him not to consider this point after plotting for so long in this world.

This made Roy realize that César likely made some preparations!

Fat Tiger’s sense of smell was very sharp. When Roy and César fought in the Abyss, he had already remembered César’s scent. Before César had abandoned his body, he had also been in this laboratory, so the moment Fat Tiger entered, he smelled César’s scent. Thus, Roy used the spiritual connection to get Fat Tiger to act alone and look around the laboratory to see if César had touched anything and left a stronger smell.

As for Roy, he went forward to argue with César and stall for time.

Similarly, César had just transferred his soul into this body, and he still needed some time to adapt to it, so he also chatted with Roy about the topic of demon-human bodies.

It was only when… Roy felt that it was about time and pointed out the biggest problem with his body that César realized in horror that it was bad!

However, Fat Tiger had already leaped onto the ground and appeared in front of everyone. The middle head had a scroll-like object in his mouth as he ran toward Roy.

“No! Put that thing down!” As soon as he saw the thing in Fat Tiger’s mouth, César immediately panicked. “Get that damn dog to put down my thing!”

However, Roy ignored him and reached out to take the scroll from Fat Tiger’s mouth and rewarded Fat Tiger’s three heads with a scratch. “Good job!”

Roy looked at the scroll and found that it had an extremely heavy smell of blood. The texture and material of the scroll were also very strange.

After opening the scroll, he found that the scroll was written with scarlet demon characters. He sniffed and found that the ink used for writing was human blood, so Roy guessed the material of the scroll.

“Human skin and blood, are you using this thing to store souls temporarily?” Roy asked César.

“That’s right!” César calmed down and said, “But what can you do even if you found this thing? There’s a seal arranged by my magic power on it. No one can open it except for me!”

“Is that so?” Roy asked thoughtfully. “Can I ask how many souls are sealed in it?”

“Why should I tell you?” César’s eyes flickered as he suddenly changed his mind. “All right. I can tell you, but let’s make a deal!”

“What deal?” Roy asked.

“There are two thousand high-grade souls sealed in this soul contract!” César said shockingly. “These souls were all tortured and suffered when they were alive. I can help you remove the seal and obtain these two thousand souls, but you have to promise me that you will leave immediately and return to the Abyss after getting them!”

However, Roy rejected without even thinking. “No, I said earlier that I’d be very troubled if I don’t kill you! So you have to die!”

For Roy, César was his mission target. If he could not kill César, he would be the one being hunted down by execution demons. It was impossible for Roy to spit out this soul contract sealing two thousand souls after it fell into his hands. It was already his, so why did he have to make a deal with César over it? Moreover, after killing César, Roy could also obtain a reward from Rogeros. It was more profitable, no matter how he looked at it.

There was no point in saying that there was no enmity between them. There was no need for any reason for fighting between demons in the first place.

Upon hearing Roy’s words, César immediately roared, “Why?! Aren’t you interested in the soul contract? Without me, you definitely won’t be able to open the seal!”

“Who told you that I can’t open it?” Roy looked at him strangely.

César was stunned. He did not know if Roy was bluffing, but when he heard the affirmative tone, he lost his confidence.

His eyes darted around. César suddenly broke free, and the tubes connected to his body fell off. The next second, César broke the culture tank and rushed out!

Roy thought that this fellow was going to go all out in desperation, so he immediately prepared to attack. But César unexpectedly turned around and ran in the opposite direction. At the same time, he roared, “Grigori! Stop them!”

“Yes, Master!”

The bald man was indeed Grigori, the leader of the Thule Society. In 1944, when he opened the Gate of the Abyss to summon Hellboy, the Allied army had destroyed the summoning ritual, causing him to be sucked into the Gate of the Abyss. Humans were unable to enter the Abyss, so the Gate of the Abyss had instantly destroyed his body. However, César obtained it by chance. He did not eat the soul, but instead tried to send his soul back and helped rebuild a body for his soul. From then on, Grigori became César’s demon contractor in this world, and in turn, he summoned César into this world.

As far as Grigori was concerned, César was indeed his master. Although César had to remove the demon contract later because his soul was about to enter the demon-human body, Grigori had witnessed the Abyss and the power of demons. Even without the demon contract, he still obeyed César.

Because César’s plan could also help him realize his ambitions…

When César escaped and had Grigori intercept Roy, Grigori, who had been long prepared, immediately attacked. He condensed his magic power into an energy ball and pushed it toward Roy.

However… it was too weak!

Grigori could be considered a sorcerer in this world, but his magic power was really too weak for a middle-rank demon like Roy. Demons could devour souls to increase their magic power, but humans could not. They could only increase their magic power through meditation, but this world was not a high-magic world, and there were no orthodox magic power practice methods. A sorcerer like Grigori might be very powerful for ordinary people, but to Roy, he was just a weak loser!

Roy grabbed the magic power ball flying over. With a gentle pinch, it immediately burst, and the overflowing energy did not even cause any ripples.

The next moment, Fat Tiger pounced on him ferociously, knocking Grigori to the ground, and bit down with his three heads.

Grigori died, but he still managed to stall Roy for two to three seconds. Using this opportunity, César jumped up, breaking through the ceiling of the laboratory, and escaped toward the manor.

Although his demon-human body did not have any magic power, it still had extraordinary strength, so this feat was possible.

With a whoosh, Roy’s demon wings spread out, and he chased through the hole. César wanted to escape, but he would be unable to escape from Roy. César had never had demon wings. It was the case when he was a middle-rank demon, and it was still the case with his demon-human body. So how could he understand the difference between air forces and infantry?

Sure enough, when Roy rushed into the sky, he saw César’s escaping figure. Roy accelerated and landed in front of him with a bang.

“Get lost!” César’s eyes were already red. He had no way out, so he lowered his shoulder and charged at Roy.

However, a thick ice wall suddenly appeared in front of him and rendered his charge useless. The black ice had the effect of absorbing the impact force, and César’s heavy strike failed to even break the ice wall.

However, Roy removed the ice wall and said, “Forget it. You’re about to die anyway, so let me act cool!”

As he spoke, Roy flipped his wrist over, and a quaint box appeared in his hand.

“This thing is called the Horadric Cube!” Roy explained to César. “Its only function is to transmute souls!”

A large number of souls appeared in Roy’s hands and were sucked into the Horadric Cube. Roy had obtained these souls along the way. When the box opened again, a pitch-black fallen soul and a colorless noble soul appeared in front of César.

César’s eyes widened when he saw this, and he said in disbelief, “You, what kind of demon are you?! How can you… How can you create such a fallen soul?!”

César felt that his knowledge of demons had been completely subverted. He can get fallen souls without even needing to tempt humans into depravity?!

“Actually, I don’t know either!” Roy said as the two high-quality souls in his hands disappeared.

“All right, it’s done!” After the two souls disappeared, Roy said, “Now, take my ultimate move!”

With that, Roy waved his right hand at César!

“Ice Tornado!!!”

The next second, extremely intense cold air accompanied by a powerful storm emerged…
