Chapter 361 - New Magic Power Circuit
Chapter 361 New Magic Power Circuit
When Roy left the secret room and returned to the ground, he could still hear screams coming from afar.
It was Benia torturing her sister, Biara. He did not know what kind of torment she was using to make her screams sound so tragic, and even some low-level demons were walking far away in fear.
Roy shook his head. To be honest, he could not understand the hatred between the twin demons. They were clearly twins, and they were supposed to love each other. But in the thinking of demons, they were enemies that would not rest until the other party died. He reckoned that Biara must have regretted not killing her sister immediately when she caught her. Now that things had changed, her sister had caught her instead.
Perhaps Benia would only kill Biara after she was done torturing her. But before that, these screams that spread throughout the Ur-Hekal would probably last for some time.
Roy did not care too much. After returning to the demon hall, he began planning. He first carefully sensed the pressure exerted by the world’s repulsive effect on him and found that if he used all his magic power to resist it, he could stay in this world for a month at most.
It could not be helped. He had used the positioning beacon of the Dragon Balls to come to this world forcibly. His initial plan was to come and kill Xeron, but unexpectedly, he completed the promotion to demon lord in this world. Especially after Kha-Beleth died, he was now the leader of the entire demon camp. If he were still a high-rank demon, he might be able to stay in this world for a year or two. In this war-prone world, one year was enough for him to harvest numerous benefits. But after becoming a demon lord, the repulsive effect of the world increased, and he did not have much time left.
If he could have established a contract with Urgash, then he could have used the power of the contract to resist the repulsive effect. But with Urgash’s current situation, he did not dare to have any contact with him.
In fact, it was possible to use another method. For example, if he could sign a contract with one of the Elemental Dragons, it should be useful. After returning from Heaven, Roy had already discovered that the angels who stayed in this world had actually signed a contract with the Dragon of Light, Elrath. But Elrath’s strength could not compare to that of the Dragon of Order, Asha. This might be one of the reasons why there were so few high-level forces in Heaven now.
Roy took out the two Demon Bible stone steles he obtained from Kha-Beleth’s treasury, rubbed them repeatedly, and carefully felt the strange power on them.
Although the power on these two stone steles had to do with the world repulsive effect, and they could be seen as a relatively powerful expulsion incantation, they were not of much help to him. But his intuition told him that things were probably not that simple.
Be it angels or demons, as their power increased, the repulsive effect they received when entering non-origin worlds would become stronger. It would be fine if it was a high-magic world. It might have higher ‘compatibility’, allowing angels or demons to stay longer. But if it was a low-magic world, then sorry, the ‘compatibility’ was too low, and it was possible to refuse their entry directly.
Therefore, the question was, if it continued to develop in this way, wouldn’t Roy become trapped in the Abyss after becoming a top demon king? Thinking about how he might really become like this in the future and be trapped in a corner and only able to stay in that dark and silent Abyss for a long time, he felt that it was too depressing. Even when he wanted to obtain souls, he could only send his subordinates out and not go on stage personally. In that case, what was the point of demons pursuing supreme power?
Therefore, Roy believed that there must be a way to solve this paradox. After all, there were many demons in the Abyss who were stronger than him. He did not believe that the demon kings did not realize this problem. They must have spared no effort to find a way to break through the world repulsive effect. Roy fiddled with them for a long time and did not figure out a reason. But there was still that one word-intuition! Why did the Demon Bible steles not possess any other power, such as darkness or flames? These were powers that matched the Abyss, but not only did the steles not have these powers, but the world repulsive force suddenly appeared. This was what Roy felt was wrong.
That guy Kha-Beleth would not have thrown these two Demon Bible steles into his treasury for no reason. Perhaps he also noticed their strangeness.
But he might not have been able to figure out what these two steles were for, so after a long time of fruitlessness, he could only toss them away in his treasury. Now, Roy had obtained them easily.
Are these steles some kind of seal? Or some kind of… backdoor? Roy guessed. Some backdoor that can protect creatures from other worlds from the repulsive effect?
It was not difficult to understand his train of thought and logic. Moreover, not only him, but even the high-level demons who had come into contact with the steles should have made similar guesses. But guessing was one thing, and truly cracking them was another.
Do I really have to gather all the Demon Bible inscriptions? Roy sighed, feeling clueless. He could only put the steles away and take out the flowing brightness flames fire seed.
Due to being busy with the promotion ritual, he had not absorbed the power of the flowing brightness flames fire seed. Moreover, there was another reason. He was worried that the power of the flames would conflict with his frost demon bloodline, so he had only been keeping it. Although Julia had said that flowing brightness flames were different from true flames, he chose to be cautious. But after entering the Gate of Heaven and fighting Isabel during the promotion ritual, Roy had absorbed the holy light seed that was more opposed to his dark power. Although there was some luck in it, it also reduced his worries a lot. Since he could even fuse with holy light, which was poison to demons, there was no reason why he could not fuse with flames.
Of course, he was still prepared. Once he found anything abnormal during the fusion process, he would not hesitate to abandon the power of the flowing brightness flames.
Roy extended his sharp demon claws, held the flowing brightness flame fire seed, and used his magic power to wrap around the seemingly weak fire seed. Then he pinched it and put the fire seed and magic power back into his body.
The next moment, he felt a hot current flowing through the magic power circuit in his arm and back toward his heart.
This boiling feeling made Roy very uncomfortable, and the blood vessels on his arm felt intense swelling pain, making him realize that the flames did indeed conflict with his frost bloodline.
However, although this swelling pain was very uncomfortable, it was still within his acceptable range. It belonged to the extent where he could endure it, so he gritted his teeth and carefully felt the power of the fire seed flowing back and was ready to respond at any time. The hot current flowed along the magic power circuit and finally entered the demon heart in his chest, completely merging into it. Suddenly, his heart began to beat violently. A new element of magic power started to surge out from his heart, and as his heart beat, it began to spread in his body.
Roy did not cry out as he endured the scorching sensation and allowed it to move through his body because he knew that Julia had said that the power of the fire seed was opening up a new magic power circuit. Magic power circuits were not the blood vessels and meridians in the body, but their composition was somewhat similar to that of the blood vessels and meridians. They used the demon heart as the source and spread out branches. Every different power was a new branch system. These branches flowed all over the body, creating a large number of nodes and finally becoming a magic power circuit.
Every time Roy wanted to use a certain magic power, the magic power surging out of his heart would instantly flow through the corresponding magic power circuit according to his will, causing the magic power to show the corresponding elemental attribute. This was the essence of the magic that demons used.
This method of using magic power was efficient and fast, much faster than the mages of humans or other races chanting incantations to construct spells. This was also why demons were stronger.
With the new magic power circuit opened, Roy finally completely absorbed the power of the flowing brightness flames. Just as Julia said, although the flowing brightness flames were also a flame power, it was much gentler in comparison. When he opened the magic power circuit in his body, the stimulating effect was much smaller.
If he had not absorbed the flowing brightness flames but destruction flames, the situation might have been totally different. Perhaps the violent flames would have instead destroyed his frost magic power circuit…
He opened his palm, magic power surged, and a blue fireball appeared in his palm. This was the color of the flowing brightness flames. It gave Roy a feeling like… It was like a gas furnace!
However, this flowing brightness flames was very gentle, and it did not transmit too much heat. Even if Roy poured more magic power into it, it only increased the volume without causing the heat to increase. With a thought, he stretched out his other hand and carefully grabbed the flames with both hands before pulling it out! Swish! He immediately pulled the fireball into a thin blue thread of fire!
At this moment, Roy seemed to have opened the door to a new world and found a pretty fun method. He pulled the blue flames into all kinds of shapes with his hands. One moment, it turned into a hideous flame face, and the next, it became a flame shield. He even made it into a cup, demon characters, a fish, a tiger, and so on. Regardless of what shape it was, he completed it with ease.
Julia was right. This artificial alchemy flame is truly one of the best for molding shapes…
