The Demon King Mode System

CHAPTER 62: CREATING A CUBE TO STORE SOULS !!

Xeron was really careless. Had Roy led the army, his first thought would have been to retreat in the face of a powerful army of elves that numbered three to four times as many. But Xeron still wanted to try using magic to turn things around. Moreover, he had directed the Meteor Shower to the densest place on the battlefield. Thanks to Xeron's magical help, Roy gets a big offer.

Demon souls usually could not stay in another world. After the demon dies, the Ouroborus Mark will draw the demon soul back to the Abyss. Therefore, all the souls left on the battlefield were from the elves. Looking at the dense soul, Roy estimated there were over a thousand souls. Xeron's huge move had most likely damaged a third of the elves' military might.

Of course, Roy will not stand on the ceremony with this unexpected excitement. Souls that leave their bodies usually die within a few hours or so. Depending on the size of the soul, how long it would take to disappear was different, and it had been quite a while since the battle ended. In Roy's demonic vision, several balls of light had already started to disappear, so he rushed into the battlefield to gather these floating souls into the system.

After a while, he finally managed to clear the souls on the battlefield. He opened the system interface and saw that the number of souls had increased to 1,079!

F* ck! I'm rich!

Not long ago, he had used up close to six hundred souls, but he did not expect to charge them again in the blink of an eye and even exceeded his original number. Roy felt as if he had won the lottery.

Well, I shouldn't be too excited. I must first check if these souls belong to me! Roy quickly calmed down and began to ponder. Xeron isn't dead yet, neither am I, so that means the devil's contract is still in effect. According to the devil's contract, ninety percent of the spoils of war would be handed over to Xeron after winning the battle, but according to the literal sense, this should refer to victory! I'm sure Xeron doesn't expect to suffer such a big defeat.

In general, it was impossible for the demons to have the chance to harvest the spoils of war after losing a battle, so when Xeron wrote the demon contract, he did not consider the situation after the defeat and did not give a suitable explanation. However, Roy realizes that something beyond the devil's contract has happened. Since he pretended to die and escaped, despite having lost this battle, Roy still gained a huge amount of souls!

Even Roy was a little confused. How is the current situation considered?

After thinking for a moment, Roy finally came to the conclusion that over a thousand of these souls could actually be considered his! No need to execute the contract!

Xeron is still hunted by the elves. Perhaps in a demon contract, this could be counted as an unending battle, so it was the same trait as when Roy was secretly seizing souls in battle. Before the battle ended, the soul he had gathered from the battlefield was his!

With this thought, Roy finally let out a sigh of relief. With so many souls in his hands, what Roy feared the most was that it was within the scope of the execution of the demon contract. In that case, it would be monstrous and meant Roy would have to give up over nine hundred souls.

Roy does not know if the souls stored in the system will be forced out when the demon contract is executed. He had never faced such a situation before, so he did not know if the system was able to isolate the effects of the demon contract. If it could really isolate the influence of the demon contract, then it would really be a treasure, and he could use this isolation function to cheat the demon contract!

However, he could not use this opportunity to experiment. After all, if the trial failed and the system was unable to isolate the influence of the demon contract, he would have to pay a very high price. Hence, he could only try experimenting with fewer souls in the future.

Now that Roy knows he can use these souls freely, he can make his next move.

In fact, be it gaining Xeron's trust in the beginning, alienating Xeron and Rashka, writing to the elves on Xeron's behalf, the, or using the Dark-Dark Fruit to withstand the damage and escape the battlefield in the end, Roy's ultimate goal is to kill. Xeron to tear the devil's contract.

With chaos on the battlefield, Roy escapes Xeron's control and is forced to follow orders again. But as long as Xeron is alive and has not been killed and issued, the contract will continue to exist and take effect.

To cancel the contract, one of the parties needs to be killed and expelled, and of course Roy doesn't want to die. The longer he became a demon, the more he understood the importance of the soul. He did not want his soul to suffer any damage after he was killed. Since he did not want to die, he could only make Xeron die.

Now is the right time. The letter of challenge had enraged the elves, and they hunted down the fleeing Xeron. Roy has achieved most of his goals. Furthermore, as long as he could borrow the hands of the elves and dragons to kill Xeron, he would be free!

However, the problem now was whether Xeron could escape the pursuit of the elves and dragons or not. Don't forget. On the other route, there were also high-level demons Ignatius, and Ignatius should have many high-level demons in his camp. If Xeron was smart and ran away to meet Ignatius, then the elves and dragons might not be able to do anything about him.

Therefore, Roy felt that he could not put all his hopes on the elves and dragons. It would be better for him to intervene if needed.

So, Roy opened the system interface and modified his wings using the previous settings.

Demon Wing: High Speed Flight, maximum speed Mach 1!

As it was a modification of his original foundation, he did not need to spend much time. After Roy chose to save and materialize, he paid the price of forty-six lives!

In fact, Roy could have increased his speed even more, but he guessed that the faster his flying speed was, the higher his soul consumption would be. The speed of Mach 1 might be enough for now, and the price-performance ratio is also very good.

After the modification, Roy's wings quickly changed. The length of the wings does not change, but the width increases. When Roy flapped his wings and flew, he felt that he needed less strength and effort than before. He still remembered where Xeron had escaped to, so he rushed into the sky and accelerated in that direction.

He was not flying at Mach 1 speed for now as he was in no hurry to catch up. Xeron would need a lot of time to completely escape from the pursuit of the elves, so Roy still had time.

While flying, Roy draws in the system interface.

On the blank new page, he drew a cube, then casually drew some patterns on it, and then began to color it, creating a simple-looking box that opened at the top.

After that, Roy began defining the box.

Horadrik Cube.

Item Effect: Turn a low quality soul into a high quality soul!

Yeah, this is the design Roy's been thinking about lately. For Roy, a low-quality soul was easy to come by, but he could only use it in the system to create static objects and modify his body. He was unable to use it to create dynamic skills, and the fallen souls and high-quality noble souls used to create skills were not obtained easily. Therefore, Roy had thought about whether he could get a low-quality soul and a high-quality soul to transform into one another.

According to Roy's understanding of the soul, he felt that this transformation was possible. A falling soul must contain a large amount of negative emotions and energy. When a person strays from his conscience and races against indecent acts, it often causes his soul to evoke large amounts of negative emotions and energy. When these negative emotions and energies reached a certain limit, their souls would turn black!

By the same logic, the noble soul must have great love for others and be willing to sacrifice itself. It is a positive emotion and energy.

In fact, low-quality souls contain similar emotions and energies. When there are living beings who die, they will feel fear of injury, fear of losing their lives, hate for enemies, reluctance to part with family and friends, longing for their loved ones, and so on. However, these positive and negative emotions are interrelated, and it is impossible to distinguish which side has more emotions. It could only be considered balanced, so the soul became a low-quality soul.

Not noble or evil, souls like this are ordinary…

Since emotions and energy exist in a low-quality soul, why not extract it and turn it into a high-quality soul?

What Roy wants to make is a medium, and no matter what the name. Of course, this box was not the real Horadric Cube and could only be considered a fake. He originally wanted to call it Pandora's Box, but then he thought about the function of transmutation and decided that it was more appropriate to call it Horadrik's Cube.

This was why Roy only dared to make this item with a large number of souls in his hands. After all, he was more confident. To reduce consumption as much as possible, Roy provides only a relatively simple definition.

But even so, Roy spent four hundred souls to make it happen. It is not easy to improve the quality of the soul.

An ancient box appeared in his hand, and Roy began experimenting with soul transmutation.

One, two, three. Only when he inserted 198 souls, there was a burst of light inside the box, which showed that the transmutation was successful.

Roy opens the lid and finds two souls drifting out of the box! One was a fallen soul emitting a thick black fog, and the other was a colorless noble soul that shone with light!

The reason two souls appear at once is because the positive and negative emotions and energies of the soul inside the box are separated and reassembled. According to Roy's arrangement for Horadric Cube, two high-quality souls would appear every time he changed …
