Roy originally wanted to stay here and wait to see when the old devil would come back, but what he didn't expect was that he had to wait for seven days.
Of course, seven days is just an estimate. Roy was not sure how long it would be, but it was a long time anyway.
During this period, Roy discovered that the altar was not opened occasionally. On the contrary, it was opened quite frequently!
The magic array on the altar will emit a faint light after a while, and then various smells will be transmitted in the void.
This phenomenon happened many times, and Roy gradually understood that every time the magic circle was activated, someone was communicating with the abyss demon world and offering sacrifices in an attempt to summon the demons. However, like the first time, the sacrifices were It is rare for the sacrifices to be high-quality souls. Most of the smells of sacrifices coming from the void are filled with the smell of blood.
Roy guessed that this might be a sacrifice used by the summoner. It was only blood or internal organs that would cause this situation.
However, although the smell of blood can also attract demons, it is actually far less attractive than the soul to demons. After all, in the abyss demon world, demons are also hunting for blood, and they have smelled enough of the smell of blood.
Therefore, when the summoner offers this kind of sacrifice, it is generally unable to attract powerful demons. What will come will only be some monsters or relatively weak demons. Moreover, the blood aura must be strong enough. Okay, if the blood smell is not strong enough, even this monster will disdain it, which will cause the magic circle to dim quickly after it is activated for a period of time.
This is the summoning failure...
In addition to the unattractiveness of the sacrifices, there is also the situation that the activation time of the magic circle is too short. Not long after the breath of the sacrifices came out, it was cut off because the magic circle was closed. During this period of observation, Luo Yi found that there were quite a few similar summoning failures.
If the communication magic circle also requires magic power, then this situation is most likely caused by the difficulty of the summoner's magic power...
This made Roy vaguely aware of one thing, that is, most people who want to summon demons are probably only half-experienced! Not only do they have low magic power, but they don't even understand what the devil really wants!
Of course, this may not be the fault of the summoners, because even if they are half-hearted, there are still people who have successfully summoned demons. At least during the time when Roy was waiting, a total of twelve monsters and three little demons were summoned. After being attracted, he stepped into the magic circle and was successfully teleported away, especially the three little devils. Maybe they were members of the same group of hatchlings as Roy. Roy had used the T virus and had crossed over. After a long growth period, they directly enter the mature body one step ahead of schedule, but other little devils can't, they have to grow up honestly.
However, during the growth period, it is usually difficult for little devils to hunt and survive. Therefore, there are little devils who wander here, attracted by the blood smell, and respond to the call. The same is true for those attracted monsters, and It is precisely because these weak demons and monsters occasionally respond to the summons that the term "success rate" for summoning demons has emerged...
Needless to say, the half-hearted summoners who failed to summon, but those half-hearted summoners who lucked out and succeeded, may think that they have mastered the secret of summoning because of this success, and record their own methods and spread them, causing subsequent people to... The methods of summoning demons are becoming more and more distorted...
After all, there are definitely not many people who truly understand the Abyss Demon Realm.
It can be deduced from this that the summoner who uses high-quality souls to attract demons, and even causes the demons to fight to determine the winner first, is the truly knowledgeable demon summoner! I just don't know what the world that the demon summoner lives in is like...
While Roy was waiting, some of the summoned monsters and little devils came back one after another. These returnees usually had satisfied expressions on their faces, probably because they had successfully enjoyed the sacrifices. But there are also some who look very miserable. It is not uncommon for them to be covered with bruises and missing arms and legs after returning. These injured people probably encountered powerful enemies. Although they escaped with their lives, they are probably in the abyss with injuries like theirs. The demon world cannot survive for long, and will soon become the priority prey of other demons and monsters...
Roy couldn't help it and killed two lower-level demons who had returned from injury. However, the souls he harvested were displayed in the system as "mutilated low-level souls"!
This shows that these demons may have lost part of their souls due to injuries during the summoning process!
What exactly is going on? Roy was secretly glad that he didn't rush into the magic circle rashly. This situation was something he didn't expect at all.
He thought he would wait and see when the old demon came back, because that old demon, like Alanya, had already mastered the language of demons and could communicate with it, and look at how proficient he looked when he entered the magic circle. , I am afraid he has responded to the summons more than once. He definitely knows what this demon summons is like.
As for how to communicate with this old devil, we can only take it one step at a time.
On the seventh day, black spots appeared in the magic circle without warning. The black spots expanded rapidly and a portal appeared. Then, a huge figure appeared in the magic circle.
The old demon finally appeared and came back, but as soon as he appeared, his huge body immediately fell into the magic circle with a loud bang, and the ash on the inner wall of the volcano also shook with this huge vibration. Falling down swiftly.
The old devil's situation looks quite miserable. It can be said to be the worst situation Roy has seen in this period of time!
One of the devil horns on his head was completely broken, and the purple blood flowing out stained his entire face. The stone hammer weapon originally held in his hand was also missing and was probably lost. His tail was broken off, and the thick horny scales all over his body were covered with hundreds of wounds, large and small, and the most serious one was a two-meter-long wound on his abdomen, as if It was as if someone had disemboweled him directly with a sharp weapon. Even his internal organs fell out and fell into a pile on the ground...
Roy was shocked when he saw the miserable state of this old demon. With such fatal injuries, this guy could still come back alive! ?
He was certain that the old demon had definitely gone through a fierce battle when he was summoned, but his injuries made it easier for Roy to communicate with him, so Roy climbed down from the inner wall of the volcano and came to the altar.
In fact, when he came down, the old demon had already struggled and climbed out of the magic circle of the altar. He probably thought that if he climbed out quickly, in case someone summoned the demon again at this time, he would leave him behind. What should I do if I summon him in the formation? If you are already injured like this, if you are summoned again, it will really be hopeless...
After he climbed out of the magic circle, he naturally noticed Roy approaching him for the first time. Although the old devil's face was covered in blood, he still roared menacingly at Roy.
He thought Roy was here to pick up the leaks, so of course he couldn't have a good look on Roy.
But even though he was fierce, he couldn't help but reveal a trembling sound in his roar, revealing his inner uneasiness.
Of course Roy could hear it, so there was no nonsense. As soon as he came up, he said to him in the language of the devil: "Answer...my question, or you will...die!"
There are very few demons who can communicate with him, so Roy is not yet proficient in demon language, but the advantage of demon soul language is that it can quickly let the other party know what he wants to express.
As he spoke, Roy scratched his claws on the hard stone slab on the ground. Although he failed to leave a scratch, he scratched the stone slab with a sizzling sound until sparks flew out. By doing this, This way proves that he now has the ability to easily kill the old demon.
Looking at Roy's now extremely strong muscles and sharp claws, even though Roy's height is actually only a quarter of the old devil's, the old devil is just lying down with serious injuries! So the old devil quickly compromised and said to Roy in devil's language: "What do you want to ask?"
