CHAPTER 97: EVOLUTION OF LICH

Without a doubt, the girl floating on these waves was the owner of the soul on offer.

Roy no wonder this girl is a corpse. If the owner had not died, his soul would have been impossible to leave his body. He was only a little depressed because he was teleported to the sea and faced a storm.

The sea storm is terrifying. The power that moves heaven and earth is something that even demons would fear.

Seeing the lightning strike that broke through the thick clouds and strong winds and rain, Roy did not dare to fly, afraid of being struck by lightning.

Therefore, Roy used his ice powers to freeze the sea water to create a floating island covering hundreds of square meters.

The only thing he was happy about was that he did not have the power of fire. If he had the power of fire, he would have completely lost at sea.

After Roy builds a floating island, Fat Tiger carries the girl's corpse. He swam faster than Roy on the big waves, so Roy asked him to save his corpse.

After Fat Tiger reached the floating island, Roy used his ice power to create an ice wall that enveloped the entire floating island. This way, the ice sheet will isolate the storm outside. Although the floating island had no foundation and would be tossed about in a stormy sea, it was better than being drenched.

Only then did Roy have time to examine the girl's corpse.

This young girl looked like a teenager. His clothes were already in tatters, and with the clothes not covering his body, Roy naturally saw a pitiful scar on his body.

On his ankles and wrists were very serious strangulation marks, signifying that he had been tied up and was trying to break free. So much so that his wrists and ankles were full of cuts.

He could see countless crossed wounds on his limbs, chest, and back. Roy takes a closer look and discovers that some of them are from being whipped, some from being burned, and some from being cut with a knife. These scars are old and new, and some are even new wounds that have been split over old scars.

But that wound is nothing. The most severe injuries occurred in his chest and eyes. Her right breast was cut off completely. Even though his eyelids were closed, it was still immersed, and blood was flowing out from the corner of his eye. He could easily tell that his eyes had been gouged out …

It was hard to imagine what kind of torture this girl had suffered while she was still alive. Not to mention teenage girls, even a demon like Roy felt it was cruel.

Such injuries can only be caused by their own kind. Although the demons would also harm their own kind, it basically killed them and took their souls. There were very few cases of torture, so for a time, Roy felt that humans were more cruel to their own kind than demons …

No wonder he felt so much hatred when he died …

Looking at the corpse of the young girl, Roy was a little worried. The devil's contract requires him to avenge Cassandra, but she's dead and left no information. How does Roy know who his enemies are and where they are?

Although Cassandra's soul is now in Roy's hands, Roy has devoured souls before. He knew that even though the memories of the original owner were within the soul, it was extremely rare. When the demons engulfed the soul, they could only see some disjointed sights, and it was difficult for them to leave an impression on the demons' minds.

If not for this, the demons in the Abyss had devoured so many souls, so they might have already become schizophrenic due to memory problems …

It seemed like there was a way to extract the memories from the soul, but it seemed like it was a rather unique magic that Roy was currently unaware of.

Do I have to make the skill ‘Reincarnation of the Unpure’ World in place? But I don't have many souls now …

After thinking about it, Roy realized that there was only one way left in this situation. That's his demon blood!

The demon blood was very special because the demon bloodline was extremely powerful. Just like the devil himself, he had an extremely strong and aggressive nature. So, once the demon blood entered the bodies of other creatures, it would immediately damage them and cause them to mutate.

In a sense, demons could be considered the ancestors of many monsters …

So far, Roy has seen monsters created by two types of demon blood. One is in the world of Van Helsing, where an unknown demon uses his demonic blood to create the vampire Count Dracula. The second was an illusionary demon Cesar using his own blood to create Thule Society believers who could use illusions.

In the two events where the demon blood created monsters, the difference was the state of the being that received the demon blood.

Dracula drinks demon blood when he's about to die, so he becomes an undead creature. Cesar's followers drank demon blood while they were still alive, so they could be considered living monsters.

Roy's situation is different from both. Cassandra's dead, so Roy doesn't know what her demonic blood will turn her into.

Roy took out Frostmourne from the system room and rubbed it gently into his left palm. Then she opened Cassandra's mouth with her right hand, raised her left hand high, and let her blood drip into her mouth.

However, during the process of dripping demonic blood, Roy discovers something strange. His demonic blood seemed to have changed color.

Is it because of the promotion of bloodline?

Roy doesn't understand, but now is not the time to think about this. His demonic blood did not drip much, and the wound on his hand quickly healed.

Without a second thought, Roy begins to observe Cassandra's changes.

The change happened so quickly that Roy let his guard down. After the demon blood started to take effect, Cassandra's corpse quickly started to rot from the mouth!

No, exactly, it's not rotting, but rotting! His flesh and blood first turned black, then quickly turned into a pitch-black liquid that flowed down. This decay begins in the mouth and spreads to the head and neck at the same time. The corpse immediately left behind only a skeleton, and the viscous liquid made of flesh and blood turned into ice covering the ground.

This change naturally shocked Roy, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

Seeing Cassandra turn into a skeleton wrapped in tattered clothes, Roy fell silent. Did I mess up? Is there something wrong with my demon blood?

While Roy was thinking, a layer of black fog suddenly spread across Cassandra's body.

With a slight clicking sound, Cassandra's finger bone on the ice suddenly moved.

Roy looked directly at Cassandra's corpse. Then he realized that this was not an illusion. The dead Cassandra is actually on the move right now. He propped himself up on the ice with his hands and slowly straightened his upper body.

No way! My demon blood can actually create undead?

Or was it because I used demon blood on a corpse?

“I... where... this?”.

When Cassandra woke up, she seemed to be still in a daze, so she couldn't help but say this. However, his flesh and blood had already decayed, making it impossible for him to speak without the support of the vocal cords, but Roy still heard his voice. That's very strange.

Roy looked at Cassandra closely. He was certain that his body did not have a soul because his soul was still in his hands, so it could not be the language of the soul.

Is this an undead language?

At this moment, Cassandra finally regained consciousness. There was no light on this floating island, but there was a dim light in his eye sockets that allowed him to see Roy.

Upon seeing Roy, Cassandra was clearly startled and shouted. He tried his best to retreat, but when he put his hand on the ground, he realized that something was wrong with him. He doesn't feel anything.

He subconsciously raised his hand and placed it before his eyes. Only then did he realize that his hand had turned into a skeleton, making him even more panicked.

“A-What's with me ?!”

Roy was in no hurry when he saw the girl wake up. He stretched out his hand and made a huge ice chair with his ice power. Then he sat down and leaned against the chair, with the tail resting on one of the arms. His right hand was dangling from his other arm. She caressed Fat Tiger, who was lying on the ground, and said to Cassandra, “Do you really remember nothing?”

After hearing Roy's words, countless shadows suddenly appeared in his mind, and his memories returned.

“A-I dreamed of my soul falling into a black space filled with fire ..” muttered Cassandra before staring at Roy.

“Quickly!” Roy nodded. “It was a abyss of hell. Your soul filled with powerful hatred fell into the abyss of hell and was obtained by me. Now, since I have received the offering, in exchange, I will fulfill your desire for revenge, so I revive you. Unfortunately, your corpse has already turned cold, so it seems like you can only exist as an undead. ”.

“What...so?” Cassandra looked at her body, which had turned into a skeleton, in disbelief. After a long silence, he suddenly stood up from the ground, seemingly thinking of something.

After which, a cold aura spread from his body. As a cold aura erupted, Cassandra's skeletal body began to float through the air.

With a cold aura spreading everywhere, the tattered clothes on his body began to flutter.

Seeing this, Roy was stunned.

“T-impossible! This... a lich ?! ”
