Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 364 Boss of Jiangnan Leather Factory

After seeing the size of the alliance army, even Dioland and the others were alarmed.

They knew very well that Roy had just become a demon lord not long ago. Even if he took over the demon army under Kha-Beleth, it was impossible for him to have too many troops now, and it was impossible for him to win against so many enemies.

“No wonder you haven’t contacted us for so long. You were preparing for war…” Dioland said. “Lord Osiris, you’re in big trouble this time.”

Roy nodded and said to Dioland on the screen, “That’s right. Lords, it seems like I won’t be able to fulfill my promise to you. If nothing unexpected happens, even if I don’t die after this war, I’ll definitely be expelled back to the Abyss. I can only trouble you to stay in Sheogh for a while longer. Perhaps in another hundred years, you will be able to escape on your own.”

It would have been fine if Roy had not said this, but after saying this, Dioland and the others felt that things were not good.

In the past thousand years, they had been going crazy in Sheogh. It was not easy for them to see the light of breaking free, but in the blink of an eye, the light dimmed. Moreover, it would take another hundred years to escape?!

No, it absolutely can’t be like this!

“Lord Osiris, you can’t give up on yourself!” Dioland said hurriedly. “You’re a demon lord and the ruler and sovereign of all the demons in the world of Ashan. No matter how powerful the enemy is, you should be able to make them pay an immense price to force them to withdraw their troops…”

But before he could finish speaking, Roy raised his palm. “Stop. Everyone, what’s the use of just talking? You have to understand that I’m merely a newly promoted demon lord. If I had some time to accumulate, I might have been able to deal with it calmly. Unfortunately, you should be well aware that the natives of Ashan won’t give me this time.”

Dioland and the other demon lords could not help but look at each other when they heard this. They naturally understood this, but they could not think of anything else to say to motivate Roy.

At this moment, Roy continued, “I only contacted you this time to tell you that the situation is not good. If anything happens to me, you should think of another way.”

With that, he pretended to close the magic communication.

“Wait… wait!” Dioland shouted hurriedly. “Wait a little longer!”

“What else do you want?” Roy looked unhappy.

Dioland could not worry about so much anymore. He turned his head and chatted with the other demon lords behind him in the demon language. Their voices were very low, so Roy could not hear what they were saying. He only saw that two demon lords were agitated and shaking their heads while the others were hesitating. Only Dioland seemed to be trying his best to convince them.

After Roy waited for a few minutes, the demon lords seemed to have finally reached an agreement. Dioland turned his head and said to Roy, “Lord Osiris, I’m not afraid to tell you the truth. You’re indeed our only hope to escape now, but if you can’t survive this, then all our hopes are useless. We’ve discussed it. Since our interests are the same, we can’t let you face this predicament alone…

“So, we’ve decided to give you some help!” Dioland paused and raised his index finger. “We will pay you ten million souls in advance. After the battle starts, get your demon troops to hold on for a while, and you’ll devour these souls as soon as possible to maximize your strength. I believe that with so many souls supporting you, you’ll be invincible. Even if you lose the war, you’ll be able to escape safely.”

But Roy shook his head. “No, although ten million souls is very tempting, it’s equivalent to me staying and fighting with many enemies. This is extremely dangerous for me. If I’m not careful, I might be killed. Do you see the angels in the sky? If I’m killed, perhaps even escaping back to the Abyss is an extravagant hope. I won’t take the risk for so few souls. Everyone, I appreciate your kindness. After my troops finish fighting, I will directly return to the Abyss. If there’s a chance, let’s meet again in the Abyss!”

Dioland and the others were stunned when he rejected the ten million souls, especially the two demon lords who shook their heads and did not agree to this proposal. They were worried that Osiris might be using this war to threaten them, so they were very unwilling. Now, they realized the seriousness of the problem after Roy rejected them directly.

“No, Lord Osiris, listen to me!” Dioland said. “You understand wrongly. The funding of these ten million souls isn’t to get you to stay behind to fight with your life on the line. They just allow you to save your trump cards, use them to strengthen yourself, and think of a way to break out of the siege. As long as you can continue to stay in this world and release us, then when we gather the power of all the demon lords, we can counterattack!”

Roy hesitated and pondered for a long time before finally sighing. “Okay, let’s make it clear first. I can’t guarantee my survival. As you can see, Ur-Hekal is heavily surrounded, and it’s exceedingly difficult for me to escape. In case I can’t escape, your funding may really be in vain. Even so, are you willing to fund me?”

“No problem!” Dioland exchanged glances with the other demon lords. After seeing them nod, he gritted his teeth and said to Roy, “And our previous promise is still valid. As long as you can let us escape, we’ll still pay you the remaining ten million souls after we come out!”

“Okay, I’ll try!” Roy looked reluctant. Afraid that Roy would not do it, Dioland quickly teleported several soul contracts over through the teleportation formation. “Ten million souls are in here. Open them and use them as soon as possible!”

Roy nodded. “Okay. I’ll focus on resolving the war. If I survive, I’ll contact you.”

With that, he withdrew his magic power and closed the magic formation.

Julia had been standing not far behind Roy. When he was communicating with the demon lords, she had not made a sound. It was not until he closed the magic formation on the altar that she walked forward and whispered, “Darling, is it really good for you to do this? Will they explode from anger if they can’t wait for you to contact them again?”

“How is that possible?” Roy grinned. “They will at most feel regret because they’ll think that I couldn’t escape and died in battle.”

“Hehe, that’s true!” Julia covered her mouth and laughed. “They’re really anxious. They actually forgot to ask if you’ve contacted Urgash, signed a contract with him, and can continue staying in Ashan…” “It’s normal. Demons are selfish! And demon lords are no exception!” Roy said. “It’s about whether they can get out of the prison suffocating them, so the first thing they think of is themselves. As for Urgash, they will naturally choose to forget him.”

“It’s just a pity that you only deceived ten million souls!” Julia said regretfully. “I initially thought that they would spare no effort to support you and pay you all twenty million souls in advance.”

“On the contrary, I originally expected them to pay only a few million souls first!” Roy smiled. “I thought that with their cunning personality, they would be more cautious. Ten million souls has already exceeded my expectations.”

That’s right. From the beginning, Roy had already made up his mind to run away with the money. He planned to follow the example of the boss of the Jiangnan Leather Factory and leave with his sister-in-law. The reason why he contacted the demon lords was just to make some money before leaving.

In particular, he specially dragged the massive alliance army to gather outside Ur-Hekal before contacting them. With so many actors acting together with him, it was easy to create a desperate atmosphere. Even with the cunning personality of the demon lords, they could not help but fall for it.

Dioland and the others were hoping that Roy could break out of the siege and then make a comeback. In their opinion, Roy was now the ruler of the entire demon camp, standing at the peak of power and grasping supreme authority. With such a high status, how could he bear to give up and escape back to the Abyss?

However, they did not know that when Roy contacted Urgash, he was vigilant enough to sense the immense crisis hidden in the depths of this world. The Void corrosion in Urgash could suddenly erupt at any moment, causing this world to face the disaster of destruction. At that time, even the demon lords would not be spared, so Roy did not care about this world at all.

This misconception allowed him to fool Dioland and the others. Under their crisis, they lost their cool, and he smoothly dug out ten million souls from their hands.

With so many souls, it could be said that Roy had made a killing in this Ashan world, and there were no longer any reasons for him to stay…

During the time Roy and Julia were communicating, the alliance forces had completely assembled. They did not even intend to rest. With the war drums beating, they could not wait to start the attack. Roy’s final battle in Ashan began…
