High-ranking devil! ? This guy is really a high-ranking devil! ?
Roy had actually made some vague guesses before. He thought that even a mid-level demon would not be able to completely offset the effect of his bloodthirsty spell with just one spell. But at this moment, when he heard the other party admit that he was a high-level demon, When he reached the clan rank, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Damn, it was so unlucky. I didn't expect that a superior demon was activating the summoner to attract demons. If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have stepped into the magic circle and summoned accordingly...
Roy knew very well that there are only two attitudes of high-level demons towards low-level demons. One is to kill, the other is to enslave. There will be no other options. Now you can understand this devil's contract without even looking at it. , is a contract of slavery.
Roy doesn't want to be enslaved by others, even if the other person is a high-level demon. Perhaps in the eyes of other demons, surrendering to high-level demons is a matter of course, but Roy is an alien among demons, and his thoughts determine his future. Don't want to be enslaved.
Roy wanted to give it a try and fight with this guy. Even if his soul was damaged, Roy wanted to go back. Even if the other person was also fighting a devil and an expert at playing with souls, as long as he was not the mortal enemy of devils like angels, he would There is no way to break through the protection of Roy's soul by the Ouroboros mark...
But the problem is that Roy has no way to deal with Sellon's magic now. If he is weak and weak, he will have no fighting power. In this case, how can he fight? And judging from the attitude of this guy Sellon, it seems that he is not willing to kill himself just like that...
It's okay not to sign a contract, but it only takes a year to stay in this world. Sellen will probably lock himself up. What's the difference between that and going to jail?
After much deliberation, there is only one way, and that is to activate the magic circle and go back!
Therefore, while Sellon was still talking, Roy secretly pressed his hand on the magic array, trying to output magic energy to activate the teleportation array. He remembered that activating the summoning array, even with weak magic power, would is allowed.
However... there was no response!
What's wrong? Is it because the ritual was not performed, or is it because the devil wants to send him back, which is different from the summoning ritual? ?
Roy was still in shock, but the magic energy he output was actually noticed by Sellon. Sellon suddenly said in a surprised tone: "You...you can output magic?? Ah, yes, you With the blood of a high-level demon, it's not surprising to have an output circuit...but..."
Sellon touched his demon horn with some confusion and said: "But when I activated the magic circle, I summoned it towards the shallow abyss. How could you, a demon of high-ranking blood, end up living in the shallow abyss?" in?"
As he spoke, he looked at the fat tiger in Roy's arms and continued: "And this Cerberus too. I have never seen a Cerberus with devil wings... It's so weird! What is this? What kind of variant?"
There are too many doubts about Roy, but doubts are doubts, and Sellon has never doubted Roy's identity, because Roy also has the unique demonic aura of the far-reaching world, and he will not be mistaken about this. So after being confused for a while, Sellon didn't think much about it. The abyss world is so big, and there aren't enough weird things happening there? After he put aside his doubts, he wanted to conquer Roy even more.
He felt that although the demon Roy was a lower-level demon, he was definitely an elite among the lower-level demons! There have indeed been examples of this before. Even demons of the same type may have huge differences between them. Occasionally, individuals that are much more powerful than other similar types will be born. Such demons are usually of the same level. Within the position, they will all be called elite devils.
So he showed his rare patience and said to Roy: "I told you, don't waste your efforts. If you want to teleport yourself back, you must output the magic power of the summoning array in the opposite direction. This requires a lot of magic power." A little bit, but a huge amount of magic power. If you think you can easily teleport it back, you are totally wrong!"
At the end, he gradually became impatient and said: "My patience is limited. I will give you one last chance. If you are really unwilling to sign a contract and surrender to me, then I will handcuff you and directly Throw you to the human kingdom, and the angels in Yunzhong City will treat you well!"
Roy was helpless. He felt that his way back seemed to be blocked, so he could only stare at the words on the contract.
The content of this devil's contract is this. Roy must surrender to Sellon. While staying in this world, he must obey his orders and fight for him as his subordinate until he dies or is expelled from this world. , during this period, all souls captured on the battlefield must be handed over to Sellon, and accordingly, Sellon will provide him with a certain amount of food.
It was originally like this, but because he wanted to recruit Roy, an elite demon, Sellon finally added a clause to the contract, that is, if a war can be won, then Roy can get the harvest from this war. 10% of the number of souls as a reward!
Seeing the content of this contract, Roy immediately understood why high-ranking demons like Sellon appeared in this world. It was precisely because they could stay in this world for a long time, so they did not hesitate to recruit troops to fight in this world. When launching a war, you must know that as long as every war can be won, the victorious demon can harvest a large number of souls from the battlefield. This method of harvesting souls by high-level demons is much faster than hunting by a single demon. Got it!
If Roy was just an ordinary low-level demon, Sellon would never be able to share the proceeds of the war with him, and would directly exploit him like a slave owner.
It has to be said that Roy was really lucky when he added the Devil Wings transformation to himself. High-level demons pay attention to bloodline, but Sellon will never know that Roy's bloodline is actually It's very complicated. He only looked at Roy in a different light after he misunderstood Roy's bloodline...
Overall, although this contract is still a slavery contract, it is much better than other summoned demons. The 10% soul gain has turned Roy from a slave to a bonded worker... …
So after taking a closer look and finding that there were no traps, Roy signed his name and made the contract effective.
After seeing Roy signing his name, Sellon couldn't help laughing proudly. He took off the helmet on his head, revealing his original appearance, which was a face that looked a bit like a human. , if it weren't for the pair of devil horns, Roy would not doubt that he was a human.
This kind of humanoid demon is actually often a symbol of some high-ranking demons...
"Come down, I will continue to recruit the army!" Sellon pointed at Roy and said: "You are the owner of that hell dog, then I will not sign a contract with it, and you will be responsible for taking it from now on. ! Don't send it away, my orders to you are also valid for him!"
This was Sellon's order. After Roy signed the contract, he naturally could not violate it and could only nod his head in agreement.
In fact, this is okay. Only Roy knows that Fat Tiger is not a real demon hellhound. It cannot make a contract with anyone... Since Sellon does not sign a contract, he will not discover this.
"Now, I'll give you a task. Go to the ground and keep an eye on the progress of the crater!" Sellon continued: "When I summon a sufficient number of troops here, I will detonate the volcano!"
Roy didn't know why Sellon wanted to detonate the volcano, but he didn't ask and left with Fat Tiger.
The place he was in before was underground. When he came out of the summoning array, this was the reason for the burning feeling. This place seemed to be a tributary of the underground magma river. He was moving along the magma river. You can enter the bottom of a volcano from the ground.
After climbing from the bottom to the crater, Roy found that there were already a large number of abyssal creatures here, but most of them were low-level demons. They were burning out mercury-like liquid according to the patterns they had drawn, and pouring it into them. On the pattern, a huge magic circle is formed around the crater...
Recalling Sellon's previous remarks about detonating the volcano, Roy immediately understood that the function of this magic circle may be to forcefully detonate the volcano. Otherwise, Roy estimated that the volcano would not be able to erupt for the time being. .
Seeing these low-level demons working, Roy did not interfere. He flew into the sky with Fat Tiger and looked at the surrounding environment of the volcano.
"Hey, Chaos Dragon Ogas, and Cloud City and so on... In the world of Invincible Heroes, I was summoned to a very dangerous place this time!" Roy murmured mockingly: "But, Demons like me are very dangerous in this world, are you, a high-ranking demon, safe?"
It's not that easy to enslave me...
This time it is based on the Dungeons and Devils campaign chapter in Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
Author PS: In the world of Invincible Heroes, the dragon of chaos Orgas is the ancestor of demons, but it should not appear in this book. In the book, hell, abyss, and demon world actually refer to the same world. Certain world views can be rounded. I will try my best to keep it as unified as possible, but please forgive me if I don't. It is already difficult to write a niche book. If it gets more difficult, I probably won't be able to write it.
