The Demon King Mode System

CHAPTER 18: THE APPEARANCE OF THE ABYSS PORTAL (2)

Roy initially wanted to stay here to see when the old demon would return, but he did not expect the wait to last for seven days.

Of course, seven days is just an estimate. Roy doesn't know exactly how long he's been waiting. In short, it's quite long.

During this period, Roy realized that the altar opening was not occasional. Instead, it happens quite often.

The magic formation on the altar would emit light once in a while, and then all kinds of unique scents would emerge from the void.

After observing the phenomenon several times, Roy gradually realized that every time the magic formation was activated, people communicated with the Abyss of the Demon World by giving offerings to try to summon demons. Such offerings of high-quality souls at the first offerings were rare. Instead, the smell of blood usually filled the air in a vacuum.

Roy guesses that most likely the smell of blood came from the summoner using fresh blood or internal organs as offerings.

But although the smell of blood could also attract demons, it was not as attractive as using a soul. After all, demons would often smell blood during the prey hunt in the Abyss and the smell was enough.

Therefore, worldly offerings would not attract strong demons but only weaker and smaller monsters or demons. Even so, the offerings must be quite bloody. If the smell of blood was not strong enough, even monsters would underestimate it, resulting in the magic formation rapidly dimming immediately after activation.

This shows that the summoning has failed.

Aside from the unattractive offerings and the short activation time of the magic formation, the scent of the offering faded quickly due to the deactivation of the magic formation. During this period of observation, Roy notices that there have been several attempts to summon a failed demon.

If communicating with the magic formation required magic power, then the failure might be due to the weak magic power possessed by the summoner.

This made Roy aware of the fact that most of the demon summoners were most likely just the creators of the experiment. Not only did they have weak magic power, but they also did not understand what the demons really wanted!

Of course, mistakes could not be inflicted on these summoners, because even the creators had managed to summon demons successfully. At least, this was what Roy observed during his wait. A total of twelve monsters and three small demons who were attracted and entered the magic formation were successfully teleported away. In particular, three little demons could hatch in the same group as Roy. If it wasn't for the T-Virus, Roy wouldn't have missed a long growth phase and went straight into the maturity phase. The other little demons were not so lucky, and they had to go through the usual growth phase.

However, during the growth phase, the little devil was not easy, facing difficulties in hunting prey and surviving, so only the ones wandering in this area would be attracted by the scent of blood and respond to calls. It was the same for the monster. It was precisely because these weak demons and monsters responded to the call that led to the low success rate observed by Roy.

Moreover, a lucky and successful small group might think that they had mastered the summoning technique and recorded it. The circulation of these records resulted in people using increasingly distorted techniques to summon demons.

After all, there were not at all many people who truly understood the Abyss.

Referring from this hypothesis, the summoner who attracted demons with high-quality souls and had them pick winners through combat could be the only person who truly understood how demon summoning worked! He simply did not know what kind of world the summoner was from.

During the time Roy waited, several demons and monsters were summoned back sporadically. These returnees usually had satisfied expressions, probably because they had managed to enjoy the offering. But there are also those who look very sad. They sustained injuries from head to toe, and some even lost limbs, probably due to the attacks of stronger enemies. Despite being able to come back alive, such injuries were often an indication that they could not live long in the Abyss, and they would soon fall prey to demons and other monsters.

Roy is unable to contain it and kills two wounded low-level little demons. However, the soul that he harvests appears in the system as an incomplete ‘’ low-quality soul!

"What's going on?" Roy was secretly relieved as he did not rush into the magic formation. This was not something he anticipated.

He felt that he would only know after the old demon came back because the old demon, like Araniya, was someone who had mastered the demon language. Seeing how familiar he was when he entered the magic formation, it shouldn't be the only time he responded to the summoning, so he definitely knew about what this demon summoning was about.

As for how to communicate with this old demon, he could only take it one step at a time.

On the seventh day, a black dot appeared in the magic formation without warning. The black spot quickly expanded, and a gate appeared. After which, a huge shadow appeared within the magic formation.

The old demon finally returned. However, after his appearance, his huge body immediately fell first into the magic formation, causing a loud thud. Volcanic dust on the walls of the volcano was rustling in the air with this enormous tremor.

The old demon looked extremely miserable. It was the worst situation Roy had seen in all this time!

One of his demon horns had completely broken off, resulting in purple blood flowing from the top of his head to his face. The stone hammer was gone, and the tail was also broken. Hundreds of large and small wounds covered the entire scales of his thick horns, and the most severe was a two-meter-long wound on his stomach. This wound seemed to be cut by a sharp weapon, and was so severe that its internal organs fell from its body and fell to the ground.

Roy was surprised at how terrifying the old demon was. With such a fatal wound, how could he come back alive ?!

Roy was certain that the old demon had experienced a fierce battle after being summoned. However, the old demon's wound state gives Roy the opportunity to communicate with him, so Roy jumps down from the volcano wall and goes to the altar.

In fact, when Roy came down, the old demon had already thrashed and crawled out of the magic formation on the altar. The old demon might feel the need to leave the magic formation quickly if one were to summon the demon again. What would he do if he was called again? The old demon was already severely injured, and responding to another summoning was tantamount to suicide …

After the old demon crawled out of the magic formation, he naturally saw Roy moving closer to him. Even though his face was covered in blood, the old demon still roared threatening Roy.

He thought Roy was here to eliminate him, so of course he wouldn't be polite.

But despite his ferocity, his roar could not help but reveal a tremor, exposing his inner uneasiness.

Roy realized the inconvenience, so he wasted no time. He went up and used demon language to say, “Jawab... If not, you will die! ”

Roy is not fluent in demon language because very few demons can communicate with him. However, demonic language had the advantage of being able to quickly make the other party understand what the speaker wanted to express.

As Roy spoke, he pulled his claws across the hard stone floor. Although he did not leave any claw marks, it created a zizy sound and a spark that emerged from the friction. He used this to tell the old demon that he had the ability to kill him easily.

Looking at Roy's extremely strong muscles and claws, the old demon knew that he was no match for Roy in a wounded state even though Roy was only a quarter of his height. The old demon could only lie down now! Therefore, the old demon quickly compromised and used the demon language to ask Roy, “What do you want to know?” the old devil answered Roy
