The Demon King Mode System

CHAPTER 69: BACK TO ABYS

Creating the Dragon Balls in the system ate about 20 souls each, which was not much, but a seventh was added up to a total of 140 souls.

The Dragon Ball that Roy created has little use other than constantly sending out signals at special frequencies. Roy even made Dragon Ball Radar a receiving device to show the strength of this signal.

Roy also added the definition of Resonance to the Dragon Ball. This attribute will increase the output signal when the Dragon Balls are close together.

According to Roy's vision, this signal can be sent to the Abyss when the Gates of the Abyss are opened and then received by Dragon Ball Radar. This way, since there were people summoning demons all the time in this world, the Abyss Gate would often open, and the signal would not be damaged. When Roy wanted to enter the world of the Hero of Strength and Magic again, he could find it through his signal

Of course, the next time he entered the world of the Hero of Strength and Magic, Roy hoped to open the Gate of the Gorge with incredible strength instead of being summoned. If Roy can reach this stage, it means he is already strong enough, and he need not worry too much about facing a powerful enemy in this world.

The world is still very dangerous. After saying goodbye to Sylanna’s Ancient, Roy wanted to fly for a while. But unfortunately, a fire phoenix flew by, forcing Roy to walk on the ground obediently.

While walking, Roy thought about how to spread the seven Dragon Balls everywhere. He originally wanted to add the Flying attribute to the Dragon Ball to spread it but decided not to. After upgrading himself with Bloodlust, he used his greatest strength to throw the four Dragon Balls to the southeast and northwest.

Roy knew it wasn't really too far away, and he could only throw them a few kilometers, but that didn't matter. He had never thought of letting this Dragon Ball cross the ocean to another continent. Dragon Balls were originally just a beacon, and they could still send signals like this. Roy doesn't care whether others will pick them up or not in the future.

With the rest of the three Dragon Balls, Roy asks Fat Tiger to catch some wild boars, push them down the throat of the boar, and then release them. This way, they would run around with the Dragon Balls. If another ferocious beast were to eat it, this Dragon Ball would transfer to the ferocious beast and continue to spread.

He had no idea how long it would take for Sylanna’s Ancient to spread the news about the Dragon Balls, or how long it would take for one to collect these Dragon Balls.

Roy felt it took at least a few years…

The Abyss' time flow seemed to be inconsistent with this other world. So although a few years might sound a long time ago, perhaps when Roy had just returned to the Abyss, a lot of time had passed here. Therefore, Roy felt no need to care too much about the time factor. Moreover, even if one actually managed to collect the Dragon Balls in a short period of time, he could choose not to come. He placed this beacon here to hunt souls and increase his strength, not to become a Dragon God satisfying the desires of the people collecting the Dragon Balls.

Since the demon army had been marching for about a month and a half, returning to the demon city was a great distance away. However, it wasn't boring on the way home, and he saw many diverse ecosystems in this world.

As they pass through the swamp, Roy and Fat Tiger are attacked by a group of dragonflies; at the bottom of a cliff, Fat Tiger captures several cavemen in a dark cave; while searching for firewood at night, while searching for firewood, Roy finds a lost dark elf camp, and a group of dark elf killers attack him, but they are instead killed by Roy.

In the sky, he could often see ferocious birds, lightning birds, fire phoenixes, and dragons. These beings are the masters of the sky in this world. Although Roy and Fat Tiger had wings and could fly, they rarely flew to avoid unnecessary battles.

There were many such creatures along the way. These creatures usually stayed away when the demon army was traveling, but it felt as if they appeared one after another now. The only demons like Roy are basically targets they want to attack.

Among the various creatures Roy encounters, he hates the undead the most. These wild undead were usually formed by the contamination of dark forces after their deaths. Without intelligence, they instinctively attacked every living thing. Roy could not gain a soul from killing these undead, and it was just a waste of manpower. However, these wild undead were very common. Who knew in which remote place they would suddenly appear? That's very frustrating.

On the way, Roy hunts down other creatures, or they attack him actively. As time passed, Roy slowly gathered quite a lot of souls. In addition to feeding a small amount to Fat Tiger to accelerate its growth, Roy used the rest to create the Magic Energy Growth Potion. He did not know how much magic power it would take to activate the teleportation formation in reverse, so naturally it was necessary to prepare some Magic Energy Growth Potions.

All that was worth mentioning was that after Roy used the Magic Energy Growth Potion, that strange feeling appeared again in his body.

Compared to before, the heat on his body was more intense, and he could feel his heart pounding.

After this situation appeared again, Roy did not dare to continue using the Magic Energy Growth Potion, and he kept the potion he had made for now.

He guessed that this was probably because the amount of magic power his body could withstand was almost at its limit, causing such strange symptoms.

Actually, it makes sense. Roy's current magic energy attribute had reached nearly four hundred, almost all of which he obtained through the Magic Energy Growth Potion. According to the efficiency of the herb extraction, his four hundred points of magic energy were equivalent to what other low-level demons could achieve after eating seven to eight hundred souls.

Based on what Roy knew, many low-level demons instinctively hunted souls to eat as one of the conditions for promotion. Once they reached a certain level, they might have to figure out a way to break through as they reached a bottleneck in the amount of magic power their bodies and bloodlines could accommodate. This method runs lower in the Abyss to find a place of purification and purify their bloodline.

This was a way of promoting being a mid-level demon. Although Roy has no inherited memories of this promotion, he slowly finds out about it after making contact with another demon.

There were different complexities in the lineage of low-level demons. Some of them had purer bloodlines, so the upper limit of magic power they could accommodate was higher. The number of souls they needed to hunt there were thousands, which made them stay longer in the upper Abyss, becoming the old demon Roy saw. Similarly, some low-level demons had complex bloodlines, and the limits of magic power they could possess were lower. So after devouring several hundred souls, their magic power reached a bottleneck.

Roy suspects that he may be the second type. According to the system, Roy's demon bloodline was rather complicated. Moreover, he had increased his magic energy through potions, so he had advanced to the point where he had to promote so quickly.

On the way, Roy wonders if he should make a distilling potion to use on himself. This way, he could finish his promotion without even heading lower to the Abyss to find a place of refinement.

However, after thinking about it, Roy decided not to. He had yet to understand the principle behind refining. Does it only purify one lineage, or does it mean that all lineages can be promoted? According to genetics, there are always genetic factors that are dominant in complex lineages, some are recessive. Some dominant ones are not necessarily useful, whereas recessive ones are not necessarily useless. When the purification process purifies the lineage, will it purify the dominant or reveal the recessive? Roy needs to understand all this. If he were to rush into making his refining potion, he would probably mess it up.

Therefore, after returning to the Abyss, Roy decides that he will head lower to the Abyss to find a place of purification and observe how it works for the demon promoting. At that time, he would slowly consider whether he should use a place of refinement to complete his promotion or use a system to make potions to promote.

This way, after spending several weeks walking, Roy was finally guided by Fat Tiger back to the volcano where the demon castle was located…
