Chapter 97: Roy’s Demon Blood

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Without a doubt, this girl floating in the waves was the owner of the offered soul.
Roy was not surprised that this girl was a corpse. If the owner had not died, her soul could not have left her body. He was just a little depressed that he was teleported into the sea and encountered a storm.
Sea storms were extremely terrifying. The power that stirred the heavens and earth was something that even demons would be terrified of.
Looking at the bolts of lightning shuttling through the dense clouds and the violent wind and rain, Roy did not dare to fly, afraid of being struck by lightning.
Therefore, Roy used his frost power to freeze the seawater to create a floating island that was hundreds of square meters.
The only thing he was glad about was that he did not have the power of flames. If he had the power of flames, he would have been really at a loss in the sea.
After Roy built the floating island, Fat Tiger carried the girl’s corpse up. He swam faster than Roy in the big waves, so Roy had asked him to salvage the corpse.
After Fat Tiger got on the floating island, Roy used his frost power to create an ice wall that enveloped the entire floating island. This way, the layer of ice would isolate the storm outside. Although the floating island did not have a foundation and would be tossed about in the stormy sea, it was better than being drenched.
Only then did Roy have the time to examine the girl’s corpse.
This young girl looked like she was only in her teens. Her clothes were already tattered, and with her clothes not covering her body, Roy naturally saw the miserable scars on her body.
At her ankles and wrists were very serious strangulation marks, indicating that she had been tied up and had been trying to break free. So much so that her wrists and ankles were riddled with wounds.
He could see countless crisscrossing wounds on her limbs, chest, and back. Roy took a closer look and found that some of them were from being whipped, some were from being burnt by fire, and some were from being cut by knives. These scars were old and new, and some were even new wounds that had split open on top of the old ones.
However, these injuries were nothing. The most severe injuries were at her chest and eyes. Her right breast had been completely cut off. Even though her eyelids were closed, they were sunken in, and blood flowed out of the corners of her eyes. He could easily tell that her eyes had been gouged out…
It was hard to imagine what kind of torture this girl had suffered when she was alive. Not to mention a teenage girl, even a demon like Roy felt that it was cruel.
Such injuries could only be inflicted by her own kind. Although demons would also harm their own kind, it was basically killing them and taking away their souls. There were very few cases of torture, so for a while, Roy felt that humans were crueler to their own kind than demons…
It was no wonder she felt so much hatred when she died…
Looking at the young girl’s corpse, Roy was a little worried. The demon contract required him to avenge Cassandra, but she was already dead and did not leave any information behind. How could Roy know who her enemies were and where they were?
Although Cassandra’s soul was now in Roy’s hands, Roy had devoured souls before. He knew that although memories of the original owner existed in the soul, it was extremely rare. When demons swallowed souls, they could only see some discontinuous scenes, and it was difficult for them to leave an impression in the minds of demons.
If not for this, the demons of the Abyss had devoured so many souls, so they would have probably already become schizophrenic due to memory problems…
There seemed to be a way to extract the memories from a soul, but it seemed to be a rather unique magic that Roy did not know currently.
Do I have to create an ‘Impure World Reincarnation’ skill on the spot? But I don’t have many souls right now…
After thinking about it, Roy realized that there was only one way left in this situation. It was his demon blood!
Demon blood was very special because demon bloodlines were extremely powerful. Just like the demons themselves, it had a very strong and aggressive nature. Thus, once demon blood entered the bodies of other creatures, it would immediately corrode them and cause them to mutate.
In a sense, demons could be regarded as the ancestors of many monsters…
So far, Roy had seen monsters created by two types of demon blood. One was in the Van Helsing world, where an unknown demon used his demon blood to create the vampire Count Dracula. The second was the illusion demon César using his own blood to create the Thule Society believers who could use illusions.
In these two events where demon blood created monsters, the difference was that the state of the creature receiving the demon blood.
Dracula drank demon blood when he was about to die, so he became an undead creature. César’s believers drank demon blood while they were alive, so they could be considered living monsters.
Roy’s current situation was different from these two. Cassandra was already dead, so Roy did not know what his demon blood would turn her into.
Roy took out Frostmourne from the system space and wiped it gently against his left palm. Then he opened Cassandra’s mouth with his right hand, held his left fist high, and let his blood drip into her mouth.
However, during the process of dripping the demon blood, Roy discovered something strange. His demon blood seemed to have changed color.
From the original purple-red, it became someone greenish. He did not know why.
Is it because of the bloodline promotion?
Roy did not understand, but now was not the time to think about this. His demon blood did not drip out much, and the wound on his hand quickly healed.
Without any further thoughts, Roy began to observe the changes to Cassandra.
The change happened so quickly that it caught Roy off guard. After the demon blood began to take effect, Cassandra’s corpse quickly began to fester from the mouth!
No, to be precise, it was not festering, but rotting! Her flesh and blood first turned black, then quickly turned into thick black liquid flowing down. This rotting began from the mouth and spread toward the head and neck at the same time. The corpse soon left behind only a skeleton, and the thick liquid made from flesh and blood turned into ice covering the ground.
This change naturally shocked Roy, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
Seeing Cassandra turning into a skeleton wrapped in tattered clothing, Roy was speechless. Did I screw up? Is there something wrong with my demon blood?
While Roy was thinking, a layer of black fog suddenly spread over Cassandra’s corpse.
With slight clicking sounds, Cassandra’s finger bones on the ice suddenly moved.
Roy immediately fixed his eyes on Cassandra’s corpse. Then he realized that this was not an illusion. The dead Cassandra was actually moving at this moment. She supported herself on the ice with her hands and slowly straightened her upper body.
No way! My demon blood can actually create undead?
Or was it because I used demon blood on the corpse?
“I… where… is this?”
When Cassandra woke up, she seemed to still be in a daze, so she could not help saying this. However, her flesh and blood had already rotted, so it was impossible for her to talk without the support of vocal cords, but Roy still heard her voice. It was very strange.
Roy looked carefully at Cassandra. He was sure that her body did not have a soul since her soul was still in his hands, so it could not be the language of souls.
Is this the language of the undead?
At this time, Cassandra finally recovered her senses. There was no light on this floating island, but there was a faint light in her hollow eye sockets that allowed her to see Roy.
After seeing Roy, Cassandra was clearly startled and screamed. She tried her best to retreat, but when she placed her hand on the ground, she realized that there was something wrong with her. She did not sense anything.
She subconsciously raised her hand and placed it before her eyes. Only then did she realize that her hand had turned into a skeleton’s, making her even more panicked.
“W-what’s wrong with me?!”
Roy was not in a hurry when he saw that she had woken up. He stretched out his hand and made a large ice chair with his frost power. Then he sat down and reclined on the chair, with his tail resting on one of the arms. His right hand hung down from the other arm. He stroked Fat Tiger, who was lying on the ground, and said to Cassandra, “Do you really not remember anything?”
After hearing Roy’s words, countless images suddenly flashed in her mind, and her memories returned.
“I-I dreamed of my soul falling into a black space filled with flames…” Cassandra muttered before looking up at Roy.
“That’s right!” Roy nodded. “That’s the Abyss of Hell. Your soul full of intense hatred fell into the Abyss of Hell and was obtained by me. Now, since I’ve accepted the offering, in return, I will fulfill your wish for revenge, so I brought you back to life. Unfortunately, your corpse had already turned cold, so it looks like you can only exist as an undead…”
“Is… is that so?” Cassandra looked at her body, which had turned into a skeleton, in disbelief. After a long silence, she suddenly stood up from the ground, seemingly thinking of something.
Following that, a cold aura spread out from her body. As the cold aura erupted, Cassandra’s skeleton body began to float in the air.
With the cold aura spreading all over, the tattered clothes on her body started to flutter.
Seeing this, even Roy was stunned.
“N-no way! It’s… a lich?!”
