Chereads / Custom Made Demon King (Translation) / Chapter 16 - The Fragrance of the Soul

Chapter 16 - The Fragrance of the Soul

After thinking for a long time, Roy felt that maybe the increase in magic power was related to Demon Eater addiction.

He wondered whether the reason why demons like to devour souls is because eating souls will increase the demon's magic power. Otherwise, if it was just a good taste, the demons would not be so crazy about chasing souls.

So after thinking about it, Roy took out his remaining soul.

Would you like to try one? Having said that, from birth to now, all the souls I have acquired have been invested in the system to strengthen myself. I have never really tasted the taste of souls, and I don't know if souls are real to demons. So delicious?

What Roy took out was the smallest soul. When Roy stared at the soul light group, he suddenly found that his mouth was involuntarily flowing with saliva, and at the same time, an extremely longing thought arose. Just like when I was a human being, when I saw those delicious foods, I wanted to eat them very much!

With a grunt, Roy swallowed the saliva in his mouth and couldn't wait to throw the soul light ball into his mouth.

The soul light ball the size of a broad bean, as soon as it reached the mouth and came into contact with saliva, suddenly melted, no, disappeared! Devil's saliva can really decompose souls!

At the same time, an indescribable and wonderful taste came from Roy's tongue. Along with this wonderful taste, Roy's whole body and mind felt an ultimate sense of pleasure, as if he was eating his soul. The brain secretes dopamine crazily for the body, and even the body feels lighter!

It's really like being in a fairyland...

This feeling lasted for a while and then slowly dissipated. Roy gradually came back to his senses and kept thinking about the feeling just now. The more he thought about it, the more his brain sent him a message. A signal that "I still want to eat"!

In this case, Roy almost couldn't help but take out all the remaining souls. Fortunately, he still had some self-control and forcibly resisted this impulse.

"It's so dangerous! This thing is really addictive!" After Roy stopped his thirsty impulse, he touched his chest with lingering fear.

After calming down, he discovered that after eating the soul, it seemed that most of the soul had dissipated. Only a small part turned into a special feeling, like a heat flow, which first spread to all parts of the body. , and then gathered from all parts of the body, then flowed to the position of his heart, and finally stopped without moving.

"Is this heat flow magic?" Roy felt it carefully and was a little unsure, so he simply opened the system interface to check his attributes.

When Roy tested telekinesis before, he consumed all his magic energy. However, when he looked again, he found that the magic attribute had suddenly become 0 (+0.3)!

What does it mean? Is the 0.3 increase in magic energy caused by the slow recovery of one's own magic energy, or is it the upper limit increase caused by eating that soul?

If it is the latter, it means that the devil can really increase his magic power by devouring souls. But if this is really the case, Roy feels that it is not good news for him, because it means In the future, he will not only continue to use the system to strengthen himself, but also maintain the growth of magic energy. As time goes by, the number of souls in demand will become more and more!

"This can't continue like this. We must understand the fundamental principles of magic energy growth and then find ways to improve it!" Roy thought, "Otherwise, I will be miserable for the rest of my life!"

Putting aside the attributes for the time being, Roy created a new blank page and started drawing again.

For Roy, using the soul to consume the system is definitely more efficient than directly devouring it and using it to increase magic energy. It also consumes the soul, but the system can bring more things, such as what Roy is drawing now These are the same big pants!

Yes, big pants! You may not believe it, but Roy has been running away for a long time!

It's only now that I have enough money to get myself some clothes that cover my body. When I was a little devil, it was okay to be naked, but now that my body has suddenly grown bigger, it feels like 404 if I don't cover it anymore! That cool feeling in your crotch is not that wonderful.

The color of the pants was customized by Roy to match his skin color, and they were made of pure cotton, which was breathable and dry. Roy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I don't know how, it is the instinct of every male, and being a devil is no exception...

I guess I am the first demon to put on pants in this upper abyss, right? Roy thought this and set off on the road again.

This time, Roy flapped his devil wings and flew up, exploring from above.

How big is the abyss of hell? Roy had no way of knowing that he had walked hundreds of kilometers on his legs before, but in fact he probably hadn't even gone beyond the area he looked down from, let alone the lower world.

But now that I'm flying in the air, I can see a lot of scenery that I can't see on the ground. Well, there are also enemies.

Unlike on the ground, after flying in the air, the enemies Roy encountered were all bird demons and insect-type demons with elytra. However, when fighting these demons, Roy was able to easily defeat them. , strengthened by the T virus, Roy's strength and speed attributes are still slowly increasing over time, but these flying demons are not good at strength, so when encountering these demons, Roy can Easily crushing them with strength, once caught by Roy, his tail and sharp claws can directly tear apart their bodies.

At the same time, Roy also learned the hunting method of flying demons. When prey appears on the ground, he will dive quickly from the air. With the power of this dive, even some large demons can be directly overwhelmed. .

In order to prove his strength, Roy consciously chooses mature demons as hunting targets. Fighting with these lower-level demons is much more interesting than simply bullying the weak. It is very helpful for honing Roy's fighting skills. .

Compared with flying demons, Roy is more powerful, and for those powerful demons on the ground, Roy can fly, which invisibly allows Roy to have an advantage no matter what kind of demon he faces. Advantage, as a result, when Roy successively killed many lower-level demons, some smarter demons actually chose to avoid it after seeing Roy appear!

Now Roy has become a little demon overlord. It can be said that even if Roy goes back to find trouble for Spider Queen Alanya, he can kill her...

But Roy did not choose to go back, because for him, killing Alanya did not have much appeal to him, because the number of souls he held was increasing, and Roy discovered one thing, that is, souls The quality of the creature has nothing to do with whether the creature is powerful or not. During this period, he hunted a total of twenty-three lower-level demons, but without exception, these souls were displayed as low-level souls in the system interface. It's just that it's larger in size and has a higher soul power value.

In addition, now that he has become stronger, Roy no longer needs to find caves to avoid danger, so even if he goes back to kill Alanya, what he will gain is nothing more than an inferior soul, and there will be no benefits or costs. But it would cost him a lot of time, abandoning the areas he had already explored and flying hundreds of kilometers back, which was not cost-effective no matter how he thought about it.

Anyway, from Roy's point of view, he is expected to stay in the upper abyss for a long time, so it is okay to slowly avenge being hunted by Alanya...

Life in the upper abyss world is very monotonous and boring. Not only Roy, but almost all the demons living in this world are like this. In addition to killing and preying every day, Roy has learned to do his best. He got used to it, but over time it became a little unbearable. He always felt that if he continued like this, he would go crazy. He even had the idea of ​​"should I save one or two pills every day and swallow them for entertainment?" .

However, on this day, Roy was flying in the air, waiting for an enemy to hit him and cause trouble for him. Suddenly, Roy found dozens of demons appearing on the ground.

These demons gathered together, but there was no conflict. Instead, they were running in the same direction, chasing each other!

Not only on the ground, but also in the air, flying demons gradually appeared. They also aimed in the same direction and kept flapping their wings to fly away.

This scene reminded Roy of his time in the Incubation Land, and he immediately realized what was going on. Only when something special happened would the demons act collectively like this.

So he turned around in the air, and Roy, who was bored, became interested and caught up with him.

As a result, after flying a certain distance and approaching a certain range, Roy suddenly smelled an indescribable fragrance!

This scent is a bit like the scent of the soul that Roy swallowed, but the scent of that soul is not so strong and cannot spread so far.

Roy reacted immediately: "Could it be that this is the taste of high-quality soul!?"

He cheered up and flew forward faster...
