The Demon King Mode System

CHAPTER 20: THE FIRST CALL

In fact, the reason why Roy decided to kill Jascalos was to verify if devouring a high-quality soul resulted in Jascalos having a stronger soul.

The reason Roy saw the need to verify this was because Jascalos had mentioned that promoting to a mid-level demon was necessary before he could enter the lower abyss in search of a refining place. Jascalos could have known how to promote but chose to lie to Roy. Of course, there was a possibility that Jascalos did not know either. Nevertheless, Roy's instinct tells him that the key to promotion is not only related to soul devouring but also soul strengthening.

Only when his soul was strong enough could he become a medium-level demon …

Unfortunately, Jascalos had encountered a powerful enemy during the summoning, so he was killed and expelled. Although he had returned to the Abyss of the Demon World, his soul was damaged, so Roy could not see if his soul had become stronger or not. So, for a while it was unknown whether consuming a high-quality casualty of life had strengthened his soul.

Roy doesn't know if his guess is correct, but he feels there must be a reason why demons tirelessly pursue souls, and not just because of an addiction to his taste.

He had confirmed that the first benefit of devouring souls could help the demons gather magic power. Roy realized that his magic energy had recovered completely, and the number 0. 3 of the increase had not changed. This meant that the soul he had eaten earlier had indeed brought him to his upper limit.

According to information from Roy's conversation with Jascalos, the demon's heart harbors magic power, explaining why Roy felt the heat flowing into his heart as he devoured the soul.

In addition, Jascalos mentions that low-level demons have complicated bloodlines that result in their bodies being unable to construct magic power output circuits. So, even though they had magic power, they could not use it. This did not apply to Roy as he had already confirmed that he could use magic energy to activate Psychokinesis.

This allowed Roy to understand one thing. In the system interface, the reason why his attributes displayed magic energy rather than magic power could mean that he, this abnormal demon, could not only use magic but other powers as well.

Those powers might include superpowers, battle qi, spiritual power, and so on that Roy could use. The attribute of magic energy is just a general term that refers to the source of all supernatural energy. This was different from the magic power that demons needed for their demon spell system!

After learning this, Roy became excited. Right, since this is a personal customization system, doesn't that mean I can make my own magic and skills? Since the last consumption is magic energy, there is no need to consider the matter of excessive and unsuitable Chakras!

If so, then how should I adjust my skills? Roy opens the system interface and sees the 3D and AE functions. His feelings tell him that these two functions are the key to customizing his skills. However, both functions are currently dim, meaning they are still not available.

Is this because my condition is lacking? Roy involuntarily wagged his tail while thinking. Given how the system should consume the soul, the conditions for activating these two functions should also be related to the soul! Moreover, it might require a high-quality soul! Yes, those high-quality souls!

Roy suddenly felt enlightened. He had previously wondered if a low-quality soul could be used in the system interface to modify its body, then what was the need to differentiate between low and high quality? Now, he finally understood that a high-quality soul was for advanced applications in the system.

Therefore, Roy now has the goal of — getting a high quality soul to verify his hypothesis.

Roy reached out his claws, grabbed Jascalos' body, and dragged him down the altar with great difficulty. Jascalos was huge, so Roy could not leave him on the altar, taking up a little space. After clearing the altar, Roy began to wait beside him.

From hatching until now, Roy had only caught a low-quality soul in the upper levels of the Abyss. There seemed to be little hope of him obtaining a high-quality soul here. Even if there was a chance, it might be very low. Therefore, Roy decided to look towards another world connected to the Gates of the Abyss.

Roy doesn't have to wait too long. The magic formation on the altar started to glow and buzz. And the smell of blood began to come out of the void.

"Ah, that's great!" This meant that the summoner on the other side of the gate was using blood to attract demons. That's good news for Roy.

After all, it was a good choice for Roy for his first call-up.

But Roy was still waiting for a while, wanting to measure the summoner's strength based on the activation period of the magic formation.

As a result, the little devil was attracted by the bloody smell as he waited. As he climbed up to the altar, the little demon saw Roy, a competitor waiting by the side. Who knows where he got his courage from, but he even snapped at Roy to back off!

Facing this brash little devil, Roy just slapped him! Crush that little devil head into mush!

Roy grabbed a low-class soul and kept it. He stepped into the magic formation and realized that the light from the magic formation would soon disappear, meaning that the summoning magic power was not much, so Roy finally felt relieved about responding to the summoning.

As the Abyss Gate opened, mist enveloped Roy. It was a mysterious experience of being at the Abyss Gate, surrounded by endless darkness, with only a glimmer of light shining from above his head. This light is a way out into another world. Roy stood in his place as his body began to turn into an illusion.

His body seemed to turn into a beam of light and flew towards the exit above his head. When he reached the exit, the surroundings became a dazzling light, and his body began to reappear.

As the dazzling light dissipated, Roy found himself in a strange place, and he heard a screaming voice in his ear.

“finally worked"

“The devil has appeared!”

“Very-very scary! Quick, retreat! ”

There was a frenzy of voices coming from all kinds of voices, upsetting Roy. He looked down and found himself in a magic formation. The magic formation was similar to the one on the altar in the Abyss. The only difference was that it was carved with a dent to the ground, and in that part of the dent was a red blood that deciphered the magic formation.

Four human skulls were placed at the same distance around the magic formation, with a lit candle burning above each skull. Among these skulls was a glass jar filled with internal organs that gave off a foul odor that spread in the air.

A group of people wearing black robes stood far away from the magic formation, staring at Roy in the magic formation in fear. Observing from their panicked expressions, it seemed like they could not believe that they had managed to summon the demons.

Roy's not feeling well right now. It seemed like something extra had appeared in his soul during the summoning process, likely the Ouroborus Mark. Although the mark was to protect his soul, it gave him a dizzy spell. While his head was spinning, he smelled a disgusting stench and heard the commotion around him, greatly irritating him.

Upset, Roy attacked these people!

“Shut up!!! Who called me ?? !! ” shouted Roy while observing the surroundings
