The devil's sense of smell is special!
Only they can smell the breath of the soul from a long distance away, but because what they can usually smell is only the smell of low-quality souls, the demons sometimes smell it and don't bother to rush over because they are very lazy. It was clear that they were trophies from other demons' fights. They were too far away and there was no way they could get there.
But things are different now. A soul that can emit such a rich fragrance must be a high-quality soul. This is definitely a rare good thing in the upper abyss world, so much so that after smelling the fragrance, there are hundreds of people nearby. A devil is coming!
Driven by such a strong scent of soul, many demons actually came involuntarily. They were simply attracted by the scent, but had no idea how the soul appeared.
When Roy rushed over, he discovered that the scent was coming from inside the crater of an extinct volcano.
There are many such volcanoes in the upper abyss world, but most of them are active volcanoes, flowing out of lava at any time. It is precisely because of the existence of these volcanoes that the abyss demon world can form this world where lava and flames coexist.
But similarly, there are also some volcanoes that are extinct volcanoes, but the number of such extinct volcanoes is very small. Now hundreds of various demons are rushing into this extinct volcano, and there are more More and more are coming.
When Roy dived from the air and entered the interior of the volcano, he realized that there was already a fight! And the fight was quite brutal!
The demons who arrived first showed their most ferocious faces and were fighting each other. However, their battlefields were all in tacit agreement around an...altar!
Roy was shocked, because the first time he saw this altar, he confirmed that it was an artificial structure. This was something he had never seen in the upper abyss world!
You can't expect the lower-level demons here to build houses. In fact, due to their chaotic bloodlines, most of the lower-level demons can't even be classified. Names like Balrog, Succubus, and Shadow Demon cannot be applied to them at all. On his body, including Roy himself, he couldn't confirm what kind of demon he was. Many lower-level demons just lived in a hazy way, simply surviving for survival. They couldn't even make simple tools and weapons. How is it possible to build buildings?
So when Roy saw this altar, he felt that it was definitely not made by the lower-level demons here!
But the demon world is not a place where humans can survive, so who built this altar? Could it be left behind by those higher-level demons?
The altar looks very big. In addition to the height of the building, the area of the platform at the top is as big as a basketball court. On the circular platform, a huge magic circle is carved in it. In the middle of the magic circle is the rule. In the middle of the six-pointed star, there is a strange painting that looks like an ouroboros biting its own tail. The outermost circle of the magic circle is full of indecipherable words. Roy can't recognize it. came out, but his intuition told him that this might be devil's writing.
Now, this magic circle is glowing faintly, and the indecipherable demonic characters and patterns are all flickering and rhythmic, and there is a slight buzzing sound, which seems to have been activated.
The fragrance of the soul came from this magic circle, but the strange thing was that Roy did not see the light group of the high-quality soul. There was nothing in the magic circle at this time.
How is this going? Has the soul not appeared yet? But it hasn't appeared yet, how could there be a fragrance?
Looking at the demons below who were fighting like they had lost their minds, Roy knew that they might be competing for the ownership of the higher soul that was about to appear. Although Roy smelled the fragrance of the soul and his mouth was also full of saliva, he But he didn't join the fight. Instead, he floated in the air and just observed.
Because Roy hasn't figured out the function of this altar yet, and he won't act rashly until he understands it.
He even stayed a little away to prevent those demons who were overwhelmed from taking the initiative to come to fight with him...
The situation below can be described as a river of blood. As the fighting progressed, demons continued to die here. Purple demon blood flowed from their corpses and gathered together. It looked so... The devil who survived the fight couldn't wait to join the next fight after devouring his opponent's soul.
In this fight, a ferocious demon is the most eye-catching!
It was a powerful demon with a height of eight meters. He had the largest size among the demons present. He had four legs and a long tail. His body was covered with thick horny scales. He looked like a pangolin. His upper body was also human-shaped, but the light Looking at the long and curved devil horns on his head, Roy knew that this devil had probably survived in the upper abyss world for decades!
Devil's horns often have rings like growth rings, which are the main basis for judging the devil's age. The power of this old devil is simply unmatched among the devils, but the most important thing is that in his hands He was also carrying a weapon, which was a huge stone hammer. The craftsmanship was very rough, but it looked very ferocious and bloody because it was stained with the blood of demons. Moreover, this old demon seemed to have fragmented his own soul. It was integrated into the weapon, so that this terrifying hammer actually glowed with a black light, and had a hardness far beyond imagination.
Roy weighed it up and found that even he couldn't defeat this old demon, so he was even more unwilling to get involved.
Wielding this big stone hammer, this old demon killed everyone. It didn't take long before he stood out from the melee and became the final winner.
He let out a huge roar and stared around at the remaining demons around him. Although these remaining demons were unwilling, they began to slowly retreat, recognizing the old demon's identity as the winner.
This scene is very similar to the time in the incubation place... This is the case in the demon world. When you have more power than other demons, they will recognize your status.
"It's coming!" Roy watched the old devil turn around and take heavy steps. After walking onto the altar, he immediately stared intently, wanting to see what would happen.
As a result, Roy almost thought he was dazzled by the scene that followed.
When the old demon walked onto the altar, the high-quality soul that Roy had imagined did not appear! Instead, a black light spot appeared on the altar. With the appearance of this black light spot, the entire magic array began to shine brightly. The black light spot in the array also slowly expanded, forming a circular black mist. These dark fogs enveloped the old devil. When exposed to these fogs, the old devil's body began to weaken little by little.
Finally, the old devil's entire body suddenly disappeared, and the light of the magic circle dimmed.
Damn it, it really disappeared! He was... being teleported away! ?
Roy looked at the altar in surprise. He felt that the black fog was like the legendary space gate or portal. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the old demon disappeared entirely.
The expected high-quality soul was not teleported. Instead, the old demon who won here was teleported away. Considering the whole process before and after, a thought suddenly appeared in Roy's mind: That old demon, he was... Summon the past!
That's right, summoning! This must be the case. Someone is summoning demons from hell in a special way. The sacrifice offered by the other party is a high-quality soul. The demons are fighting each other just to compete for this sacrifice! If the winner wants to obtain this sacrifice, he must respond to this call and enter the opposite world.
And the role of this altar is also obvious, it is a medium to communicate with other worlds and the abyss of hell!
Roy suddenly became excited. This was really a huge discovery. No wonder the novels and movies he had read in the past always contained plots such as summoning demons. It turned out that this kind of thing was actually true!
What kind of world would it be if we were summoned? Are there one, two, or many such worlds? Who is it that summons the devil? What was he planning to do by summoning the demon? Does the summoned demon have to sign a contract with the summoner?
Wait, wait, wait, Roy has too many questions, but this discovery is really wonderful for Roy, a Gemini character. It means that the boring and monotonous life in hell has finally become interesting. .
The remaining demons left one after another after the fragrance of their souls disappeared. The empty altar was no longer attractive to them, but Roy stayed. He wanted to wait for a while to see this kind of passage. How often does the altar summon demons?
In addition, Roy also needs to go to other places to see. Although the number of extinct volcanoes is small, there are always some. He just doesn't know if among those extinct volcanoes, there is something like here that can open the portal. Altar...
