In the picture was a half humanoid demon. His lower body crawled up, looking like some kind of ferocious beast. His upper body was humanoid, both of his arms had five fingers, and his muscles were not well developed, but the strange thing was that this demon head had no face, and his face was actually on his chest! In his chest muscles were his pair of eyes. His eyes look big but also strange because the pupils in the eyeballs are actually horizontal!
At first glance, these eyes with horizontal pupils seem like they are squinting, but make them feel very uncomfortable after looking at them for a while, feeling that they are staring at them all the time.
On his stomach was a monstrous mouth with sharp fangs protruding and forging relationships. The color of this tooth was different from the skin of his stomach, so it seemed like this entire demon stomach had been cut in two.
Just looking at his appearance, this demon was indeed quite frightening.
In addition to this image, there was also a recording in the demon language in the memory crystal. The owner of the voice was a high-level demon Edrach.
“Cesar, an upper middle class demon with an illusionary demon bloodline. Good at using illusion magic. He was originally a warrior under the command of Demon Lord Rogeros, but he stole one of Lord Rogeros' demon artifacts, escaped, and hid in another world. Since we could not find the world he was in, we could not cross the world to hunt him down. But it doesn't matter. The repulsive force of that world would send him back. This memory crystal has another function — feel demon artifact Lord Rogeros. Once the Cesar is driven back to the Abyss by world powers, the memory crystal will tell you immediately. Kill him and bring his faceless head and the demon artifact back! “
After hearing the details, Roy felt his tail would be tied. Why is this mission like this?
Running a target is easy. The upper middle rank level was nothing more than having a much higher magic power than Roy. Given some time, Roy could catch up by relying on the Magic Energy Growth Potion. However, this demon was actually an illusionary demon, which meant that he was very good at deceiving and playing with illusions. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to steal something from the demon lord.
Of course, he might as well take advantage of the time when the demon lord was negligent …
Unlike in other worlds, in the Abyss, demons and demons rarely signed demon contracts because there was no disgusting power. Moreover, it seemed like the contract signed in the Abyss was unenforceable. The ruling demons relied on their powerful strength to control resources, and these resources could be a legacy of demonic lore, souls, or things that could strengthen the demons, he said, like the blood of demons in the purification pond. However, since there were no contracts, low-level demons generally had to serve these rulers or fight to obtain these resources. This is a typical form of recruitment.
Of course, there were only a few loyal demons. Otherwise, there would be no traitors like Cesar, and there were quite a number of similar cases, not only happening to Lord Rogeros but to other demon lords as well. To hunt down these rebels, Abyss has given birth to a unique name — ‘demons execution’!
Roy is not interested in understanding the specific details of Cesar's betrayal, but he can tell from this information that the target of his execution is someone with relatively high intelligence.
In fact, this ingenious demon was a demon. This kind of demon who knew how to use intelligence was much harder to deal with than a demon who only knew how to rely on brute strength blindly.
The most troublesome thing was that this person was still hiding in another world!
Now, Roy finally understands why Edrach gave him one year to complete this mission. The Gates of the Abyss were connected to so many worlds, so who the hell knew which world he was hiding in?
Although Edrach said in the memory crystal that the world powers would expel him, didn't he think about what if Cesar signed the demon contract with the summoner in another world and then didn't fulfill it? Will he be able to stay in that world for a long time and not return? How can I complete the mission?
No, it's not possible. Edrach was a high-level demon, and it was impossible for him to make a reasonable mistake like this. Was my previous understanding wrong? Even if there is a demon contract, is there a time limit to how long demons can stay in another world? And the longest number does not exceed a certain limit?
The more Roy thought about it, the more likely he was to feel it. It's just like he thought. If the demons could really sign the demon contract with the summoner and rely on not fulfilling it to stay in the other world for a long time, then the gap in the demon contract was simply too great!
The lower the magic of the world, the more likely it is that this time will be shortened. At that time, even if the demon and the summoner did not fulfill the contract, the world power would expel the demon.
As for whether this would count as a demon failing to complete the contract or a summoner failing? Roy is not sure because he has never faced such a situation.
Roy suspects that Edrach gave him a year because Cesar was supposed to escape for some time. Given his strength as a mid-level demon, he would not dare to run into the high magic world. High magic worlds usually had powerful races and characters, so middle-level demons had to be very careful within them. If he was Cesar, Roy felt there was no way he could escape to such a world.
If he could not enter the high magic world, then he could only go to the middle magic world. Because if he wanted to extend his stay in the other world for as long as possible, he could not choose a low magic world. The repulsive force in such a world was simply too powerful.
If the longest he could stay in the middle magic world was half a year to a year and a half, then he speculated that Cesar might have escaped for at most half a year!
This would explain why Eldrach gave him one year for the mission.
However, the magic in the memory crystal could only trace the Demon Lord Rogero artifact. Without being able to track down Cesar himself, weren't they worried that Cesar would secretly hide the demon artifact in the world he lived in and then be secretly expelled back to the Abyss? If he comes back like this, Roy won't be able to track him down.
Moreover, the so-called demon artifact should be a demon creation. Since it was a demon creation, it should have a soul fragment from the demon lord within it. Even if it crossed worlds, it was impossible for him not to sense even the slightest bit of his own soul fragment, right? When Gabriel sensed something wrong with his soul fragment, he could tear through space-time and descend forcefully. Even if the demon lord could not match the archangel, could he not even find him?
Except ... except that the demon artifact was not created by Demon Lord Rogeros but was snatched from another demon. Without his own soul fragment, he would definitely not be able to sense it.
After sorting out all the situations he could deduce from the information, Roy could not help but touch the demon horn on his head. No wonder Edrach did not mention what would happen if it failed to meet the execution target. Looks like Cesar was already considered dead by then. In a year, Cesar will be expelled. As for that demon artifact, it seemed like it was of great importance to Cesar. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked offending the demon lord to steal it. When he was expelled back, he would most likely take her and not leave her in another world.
When the demons returned to the Abyss, there would be a cooling period. This cooling period was caused by the residual force of the world repulsion that was still in the demon body, and it required the Abyss power to neutralize it. Therefore, demons were unable to enter another world during this period.
If he wanted to complete his mission, he would have to find Cesar during this cooling period!
After understanding how he was going to accomplish this task, Roy casually drew a chain bracelet, placed the crystal on the bracelet, and then hung it on his wrist. This way, when Cesar appears in the Abyss, the crystal will light up, and he will be able to find it soon.
After receiving this mission, Roy will not be able to go to another world for at least a year because he must pay attention to Cesar's return at all times. But that doesn't matter. First, Roy had managed to become a mid-level demon, and he needed to adapt to the situation in the middle Abyss. Second, he felt that it was best to utilize this time to fight and see middle and high level demons. He wanted to see what was the difference between demons of the same rank and different rank and how big they were so when the time came to complete the execution mission, he said, he will have the confidence to face Cesar.
The best case scenario would be for Roy to face another illusionary demon in the middle Gorge so that he could understand them better.
Regarding this execution mission, Roy does not want to be a punishment mission that eventually leads to himself. He was also curious about the gifts Edrach could give. As a servant of the demon lord and supported by the demon lord, he should have more resources than any other high-level demon. Who knows what kind of gift he can give …
