Custom Made Demon King Chapter 80 - Finally Starting with This Double Ability

Chapter 80: Finally Starting with This Double Ability

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The courtship period of the demons lasted for about ten days before ending.
During these ten days, Roy could often hear loud and low voices coming from afar. These voices were not like the usual roaring and bellowing of demons when they fought, but a kind of joyful voice with a sense of triumph.
As for whether these voices came from male or female demons, Roy had no intention of studying it.
Roy avoided this period firmly.
It was not that he was hypocritical and reluctant to enter the countryside to follow the local customs. But apart from the differences in aesthetic sense, Roy could also feel that the arrival of the demon’s courtship period seemed to be under the control of some force.
How could there be such a coincidence that caused all the demons in the entire Abyss to start courting at the same time? Moreover, how could all of them be affected regardless of race? Roy felt that it did not seem like a law of nature at all!
There were many things that Roy did not know about the demons in the Abyss. If it really was a law of nature, then it did not matter if he complied with it, but if some kind of force was affecting the demons, this feeling would not be too comfortable…
To this end, Roy did some research as well. He stopped some demons passing by his territory, asked them some questions, and got some information.
He learned that when the courtship period came, the purple moon on the surface of the Abyss, which he had seen when he was born, would shine more intensely than usual.
In the Abyss, there was no sun, and this purple moon was constantly shining on the Abyss. In addition to emitting strong light during this courtship period, it also had the effect of expediting having demon eggs. Therefore, in the Abyss, the demons had always firmly believed that this round purple moon was one of the Seven Great Demon Kings, an incarnation of Asmodeus’s power!
Asmodeus was the great demon king in control of the power of lust in the legends of the humans and other races. But in the Abyss, the demons believed that he was in charge of birth and reproduction.
No demon had truly seen the great demon king before, and it was said that the great demon king lived at the bottom of the Abyss. All demon kings and even some demon lords were hard to see. These legends were passed down from generations of demons with high intelligence (devils), and it was unknown if they were true.
Even if the demons were considered to be courting each other, they went their separate ways after the ecstasy, and it was impossible for there to be true couples. The male demons were almost completely drained dry during these ten days. Their task was to spread their demon bloodlines everywhere. In this process, be it using their own strength to attract the female demons or directly forcing themselves on the female demons, they were responsible for the task of being seed sowing machines.
Meanwhile, the female demons gathered together and moved around after the ten-day courtship period ended.
Roy was curious, so he flew in the air and followed these female demons to have a look. He found that the purpose of these female demons gathering and moving around was to find a water source!
Yes, there were water sources in the Abyss, but very few. Such water sources were typically underground rivers and the like. Roy discovered that after they found these underground rivers, they would put the demon eggs they laid into these dark rivers and let the water flow bring the demon eggs away.
Recalling the situation at his birthplace, Roy immediately understood that these underground rivers of the Abyss were likely connected to the ocean. The current would bring the demon eggs into the ocean before they eventually drifted to the surface, and the tide would push them onto the islands on the surface, which were the birthplaces. This was the entire birth process of demons.
The reason why the demon eggs were sent to the surface in this way was that after demons promoted in the lower levels of the Abyss, they could no longer return to the upper Abyss. This was because the connecting paths, which were in the fissures, had a powerful barrier…
The female demons laid a very large number of demon eggs, but Roy did not see the birth of a baby. It seemed to be because the bloodlines of middle-rank demons were not pure enough.
When they were floating to the ocean, these demon eggs would encounter many difficulties. Perhaps an abnormal ocean current would cause the demon eggs to collide against a rock and shatter immediately… There were so many demon eggs, but who knew how many would die along the way? From this point of view, it seemed like survival was not easy for demons. Being born smoothly was already a feat that required extreme luck. It was no wonder why demons were born stronger.
Roy also noticed that demons seemed to be living in the underground rivers. During his observation, Roy saw huge shadows under the surface of the water more than once!
These creatures did not attack the demon eggs, so Roy guessed that they might also be demons. They could be sea demons!
However, due to the different living environments, these sea demons and the Abyss demons were likely to have huge differences. Although Roy had not seen any with his own eyes, he felt that they were not on the same level just by looking at the massive shadows. The largest demon Roy had seen was the mammoth-like Jascalos, who stood about eight meters tall, and the shadows in the dark underground rivers all looked to be over ten meters long…
He did not know if these sea demons could be summoned to other worlds like the Abyss demons. If they could be summoned, perhaps they could only be summoned in water environments.
After the courtship period ended, the demons of the middle Abyss finally returned to normal. When demons intruding into Roy’s territory appeared, they were no longer here to court but to fight.
During the next two months, Roy spent most of his time hunting the fire salamanders. These monsters were under a lot of survival pressure in the middle Abyss, so they had evolved to have a powerful reproductive ability. Even after Roy’s continuous hunts, the group of more than a thousand of them could still retain roughly the same numbers.
Of course, this was also because Roy did not completely eradicate them but gave them time to recuperate.
Roy now had more than eight hundred souls, and this was not counting the ones he used to make Magic Energy Grow Potions.
Roy estimated that he had hunted more than 1,300 fire salamanders over the past three months, which made Roy slightly speechless. If there were no demons managing these guys, they would double their numbers in about three months!
The only regret was that the souls of these fire salamanders were small in size and had a relatively small amount of soul power because they were monsters.
If a normal low-quality soul had a soul power value of ten, then a fire salamander’s soul power was only about two to three. The difference was too great.
Therefore, although Roy had eight hundred souls in his hands, they were only comparable to about two hundred souls collected in the Heroes of Might and Magic world.
Now, Roy’s magic energy attribute had increased to five hundred through consuming Magic Energy Growth Potions. Therefore, he intended to strengthen his combat strength with these souls that he had saved.
The magic power circuit brought about by the frost demon bloodline could transform Roy’s magic power into ice-cold energy, but so far, Roy’s use of the ice-cold energy was too simplistic. Other than spreading his cold aura out to freeze objects, he only had the move of spitting frost aura from his mouth, which resembled breath moves.
He was not the only one. Most middle-rank demons were like this. Their use of magic power was rather superficial because magic power and magic were fundamentally two different concepts.
But it did not matter. As long as he continued strengthening his magic power circuit, Roy would figure out some skills to use magic sooner or later. However, he had to make certain preparations when he thought about how he would have to deal with an illusion demon like César.
The souls of eight hundred fire salamanders was equivalent to two hundred ordinary low-quality souls. Roy did not know if this amount was enough, so he could only look at the situation and add or remove definitions accordingly.
The first thing Roy thought of when it came to illusions was to increase his spiritual resistance. These illusion spells generally acted on the opponent’s brain, so increasing his spirit or his will was the most basic form of resistance.
However, he was afraid that it might not necessarily work. There was always a chance that Roy would fall into his opponent’s illusions unless he could set himself to have complete immunity to illusions. After all, how much resistance he had could only decide how much he could negate.
Therefore, Roy simply changed his mind. I don’t want to resist your illusions, but see through your illusions!
When it came to seeing through illusions, the first thing Roy thought of was eye techniques…
Sharingan, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Cyclops’s eyes, Fiery-Eyes Golden-Gaze, Tyrant’s Eye, and so on, Roy had many eye techniques in his memory…
