The Demon King Mode System

CHAPTER 45: DEVELOPMENT

After finishing pouring mercury into the magic formation, Xeron appeared in the crater.

He stood on the edge of the magic formation as his hands began to shine, and his mouth changed something gently. After a while, the magic formation began to sparkle.

Xeron suddenly stomped his demonic fingernails to the ground. A loud sound resounded, and the entire volcano began to tremble.

Like a great earthquake, the entire mountain shook, and many demons fell to the ground.

The magic formation that Xeron asked them to fill was actually a strengthening formation. He used this amplification effect and cast an Earthquake spell, letting the magic penetrate to the base of the volcano.

“Retreat!” Xeron. The demons gathered at the volcano ran away to save themselves. Although it has lived in a world with volcanoes and magma, it does not mean that demons are not afraid of volcanic eruptions. Conversely, demons are most afraid of volcanic eruptions because they clearly know the destructive power of volcanic eruptions.

There were about two hundred demons called Xeron. Shortly after these demons escaped, the volcano, which had been affected by seismic activity, reached its tipping point and made a deafening roar before erupting.

Dense black smoke containing volcanic ash billowed into the sky from the crater. Due to the immense force of the volcanic eruption, many large and small burning rocks were spewed out from the volcano and flew in all directions like fairies scattering flowers. The view is beautiful and scary. With the eruption, hot lava shot out from the crater. Fiery hot lava flows flowed down the volcano and burned all the trees and bushes along the way. Some small animals do not escape in time and perish in the flowing lava…

The volcanic eruption took two hours before subsiding. But within a five kilometer radius of the volcano it was all scorched earth, and not a single inch of grass remained. Some of the lava had already begun to cool, turning into black soil, some was still scorching hot and emitting a deep red glow and smoke.

Xeron looked at his work proudly and laughed wildly. He was very satisfied with the scorched land and thought that he could finally start building the city.

Yes, the purpose of blowing up the volcano was to build an environment suitable for the demons to live in. The beautiful green plants and water did not look like demons at all. Satan still likes this kind of environment filled with sulfur air…

Under Xeron's maki curse, two hundred strange low-level demons, including Roy, began to work. They found large rocks and leveled the soil as much as possible while the lava was still soft to build the foundation. After laying the foundations, they began to build the city…

Roy didn't take part in the building this time. He took Fat Tiger and became the watchdog of these demons. With the city's blueprint and Xeron's leather whip in hand, he watched over these low-level demons to build as planned.

These demons were not construction workers' materials, so Roy could not easily keep an eye on them and could not take his eyes off their work. Otherwise, they would stack the walls like a pile of instant noodles in a mess.

Besides, the demons had no equipment. What they built was not only made of stone and wood, and such a building was unreliable and prone to collapse. But the devil has an idea. As they were near the volcano, they sent some demons to get the lava and waited until it was cold before pouring it into the structure to fill the gaps and strengthen the walls.

As the city gradually takes shape, Xeron brings along a new blueprint and asks the demons to start building their own residence.

Frankly, this is their nest. Each type of demon has a nest style that they like. After development, the devil spontaneously sorted himself out and moved into it. Xeron once again carved a summoning formation between these lairs and continued to summon the same kind of demons to this world.

During this period, Roy secretly observes Xeron's actions. He realized that the demon called Xeron usually came from several variants. It was probably because he needed the same type of demon in the same battalion, so he did not summon overly complicated demons. And every time Xeron summoned a demon, he could get what he wanted accurately.

Roy observed for a moment before understanding the trick. Xeron seemed to clearly understand what every demon liked. For example, when he wanted to summon a little demon, he added powdered bird eggshells and worms into fresh blood as offerings to change the scent of blood.

Every time he used this type of offering, he could summon a large number of small demons. These little demons were naturally those who had not been born long ago and had just entered the bottomless pit. Perhaps the smell of the powdered egg shells in the blood reminded them of the time they had just hatched and ate their demonic egg shells, so they rushed to be teleported to this world.

After being summoned, their fate was sealed. How much combat power could this newborn little demon have? Xeron summoned them to increase the number of construction workers and also to prepare cannon fodder for the upcoming battle.

In addition to summoning these little demons, there is also a method to summon hell hounds — adding griffon urine to the blood. Xeron had caught some wild griffon and raised them. When he mixed griffin urine into the blood, the temptation for a hellhound was truly overwhelming!

This situation reminds Roy of his past life when he learned to fish, using different bait for different types of fish…

When Roy responds to a call at the Gate of the Gorge, he smells a foul smell that is griffon urine mixed with blood. He wondered why the bloody smell was strange, but little did he know that Xeron used this method to lure hellhounds. If it were not for his ignorance, he would not have mistakenly entered. Since you can't see what it looks like at the other end of the Abyss Gate, there's no way to avoid risk. Once you find this kind of summoning trap, you can only rely on your strength to get out of trouble.

Only the devil understands the devil the most. It was unknown how long this high-level demon, Xeron, lived. When he felt he needed a certain type of demon, he had the means to summon them. The Abyss was so vast that no one knew how many demons lived within it. Even with the complicated bloodlines among low-level demons, with all sorts of different appearances, it was not difficult to find many of the same types among them.

And without exception, he enslaved all the demons he summoned. In order to face the coming war, Xeron could not let this summoned demon return so easily. Here, Xeron is the demon king, and the summoned demons are his people. Since Xeron was blocking their way home, the demon could only let him get what he wanted…

Of course, there were demons like Roy who did not cooperate after being summoned and fought. However, after being whipped, they gave up, signed a contract, and obediently worked for Xeron.

Roy witnesses this and turns a blind eye to her, having no sympathy for them. Instead, he knew that Xeron's actions were consistent with demonic behavior.

There is never any warmth between demons. Besides killing, it also uses. In just a few occasions their ideas were similar. Even if high-level demons valued bloodlines, it was only for those of the same rank. It was normal for high-leveled ones to treat low-leveled ones like slaves and defeat them. Xeron summoning demons to fight for him cost almost nothing, but his return was a massive amount of souls. With such a high rate of return, let alone the devil, even human capitalists would come in a hurry.

With the passage of time, this demon city gradually grew, and at this moment, two high-level demons appeared to meet Xeron …

These two high-level demons came riding nightmare horses and brought along an army of little demons. These nightmare warhorses were temperamental, and their bodies were covered in shiny, black, and hardened skin. They had one devil horn on their heads and four nails burning with fire, leaving traces of burn scars wherever they went…

This nightmare warhorse was also a demon and not a monster. Since they were intelligent, they were a kind of medium-level demon. Many high-level demons like to enslave this nightmare war horse to serve as a mount.

Both high-level demons wore robes and hid their appearances. After entering the demon city, they started talking to Xeron in the interior hall. Roy, this elite demon, has served as Xeron's representative because he has higher intelligence. So when the three high-level demons spoke, Roy, who was waiting outside the hall, easily heard their conversation …
