Custom Made Demon King Chapter 111 - The Tragic Experimental Subject

Chapter 111: The Tragic Experimental Subject

To Roy, the only existence that might threaten him in this world was the sea goddess Calypso.
Although Roy did not know how, she had actually been sealed by a group of mortals, making Roy a little confused as to whether Calypso was a real god. But at least she possessed extraordinary power. This was beyond doubt.
Not only could she create an indestructible ship like the Flying Dutchman, but she could also revive the dead, guide the souls of the dead, and create enormous storms on the sea. These were all abilities that Roy could only look up to for now.
Although she was still in a sealed state, her soul was trapped in a mortal body, and she was unable to use her divine power, no one could guarantee that the Pirate Lords would not be stupid enough to release her.
After all, demons came from other worlds. When they crossed worlds from the Abyss, they had already violated the rules of the native world and posed a huge threat to it. If Calypso was really a god of this world, then protecting the rules and eliminating threats was one of her responsibilities. Once she truly became free, she was very likely to attack Roy.
Roy was only a middle-rank demon now, and he had no confidence in confronting deities. Therefore, in order to prevent such a situation from happening, Roy felt that it was necessary to eliminate the risk in the cradle. Since Jack Sparrow had come knocking on his door, Roy took the opportunity to obtain the seal token on Jack Sparrow. Jack Sparrow had not participated in the sealing ceremony back then, and his token was passed down from his father, so he did not understand the importance of the token. This gave Roy a chance.
Now that he had this token, Roy did not have to worry about anything…
Roy also wanted to test out the effects of the demon gold by letting Jack Sparrow take it away. He could already tell that the black gas on the gold was a dark power similar to a curse, but Roy did not know whether it would turn people into undead creatures like the Aztec gold coins in this world. He needed to observe it.
After putting away Jack Sparrow’s seal token, Roy opened the system interface and began drawing.
This time, Roy drew something that looked like an eyeball. In Roy’s imagination, this eyeball would be a camera that could be used for reconnaissance and would directly transmit the captured scenes into Roy’s eyes. It was equivalent to a clone of his eyes.
In order to make the eyeball fly like a drone, Roy added a pair of small bat wings…
[Demon Eye]: Controllable, Flies, Teleport Positioning, Voice Communication, Invisibility, High-definition Camera, Image Transmission
Roy had long wanted to create something like this, so he took this opportunity to create it.
Roy had not used his Teleport skill that much, and his teleport destination had always been tied to Fat Tiger. Now that he had this Demon Eye, Roy bound teleport coordinates to the Demon Eye, which was equivalent to expanding his teleportation range. As long as he made more Demon Eyes and spread them around, the vast sea would no longer be his obstacle, and he would be able to go anywhere in this world.
However, this Demon Eye consumed a lot of souls to exchange. The other functions were nothing, but the two definitions of teleport positioning and invisibility were quite expensive.
In the end, Roy spent eighty souls to materialize one Demon Eye, making him click his tongue. These were the souls he obtained from killing after activating the Halo of Fear. If they were ordinary souls, it would have probably needed a hundred.
One eye would cost eighty souls, ten eyes would cost eight hundred souls, and a hundred eyes would cost eight thousand souls. Although Roy wanted to make more, looking at the consumption, he felt that he should not make too many for now.
With a flash of light in his palm, the Demon Eye with small wings appeared in Roy’s hands. Roy gently tossed it, and the Demon Eye flew into the sky and flapped its wings as it chased after Jack Sparrow.
At the same time, the scene observed by the Demon Eye was transmitted into Roy’s eyes. These two visions felt very strange, and Roy found it difficult to adapt for a while. This made Roy a little worried that it would be a bit difficult to process so much information when there were more Demon Eyes in the future. It appeared that he had to think of ways to improve it.
Fortunately, after studying it for a while, Roy found that he could cut off this image at any time.
Because it was flying, the Demon Eye quickly caught up to Jack Sparrow. In order not to let Jack Sparrow discover it, Roy controlled the Demon Eye to turn invisible. Then he discovered that after the Demon Eye turned invisible, it would slowly draw out magic power from his body to maintain its invisibility state.
This was because the Demon Eye he created was actually a type of magic machine, not a creature, so he needed to provide it energy when it was invisible.
Invisibility did not consume much magic power, and with Roy’s current amount of magic power, it could last for quite a long time, so it was nothing.
At this moment, Jack Sparrow was rowing his boat with one hand and holding the demon gold Roy gave him with the other. From time to time, he would take a bite to verify the authenticity of the gold.
Jack Sparrow looked rather happy currently. He was humming an unknown pirate song and looking very pleased.
However, Roy discovered that the black gas on the gold was gradually contaminating Jack Sparrow…
The gas was still very faint, but the longer he was in contact with gold, the more the gas would contaminate him.
Jack Sparrow knew nothing about this, and he was still happily playing with gold.
Roy was not surprised. He had Demon Eye land on the mast of Jack Sparrow’s boat and continued to observe Jack Sparrow.
About an hour later, Jack Sparrow’s boat suddenly shook!
Under the sea, a huge sailfish crashed into the bottom of Jack Sparrow’s boat for some unknown reason. The shaking just now was caused by it!
The sailfish escaped, but during the collision, its hard, sword-like bill had created a hole in the bottom of Jack Sparrow’s boat, and seawater kept flowing in from the hole.
After checking the damage to the hull, Jack Sparrow cursed. However, he did not have any materials to repair it, so he could only quickly pull up the sail and let the boat move forward with the wind. He found a bucket and desperately scooped out the seawater pouring into the bottom of the boat.
But everyone knew that this could only delay the sinking of the boat. In the end, it would be useless because just Jack Sparrow scooping out water alone would never catch up to the speed at which the water was pouring in.
“Damn it! Hang in there!” Jack Sparrow cursed as he scooped water with all his might. “It’s still far from land. I really don’t want to tie sea turtles to my feet!”
However, reality did not change based on one’s will. No matter how hard Jack Sparrow tried, the water at the bottom of the boat was still accumulating. In the end, Jack Sparrow had no choice but to put his gold into a bag frantically, carry the bag on his back, and then jump into the sea while holding a wine barrel.
As the boat sank, Jack Sparrow could only hug the wooden barrel and rely on its buoyancy to float in the sea. Thankfully, as an excellent pirate, he was still able to identify the direction in the sea.
But before long, Jack Sparrow’s face turned green!
He felt as though something had stung his foot, and a sharp pain soon came from his foot!
A beautiful jellyfish with its umbrella-shaped bell slowly floated past Jack Sparrow…
“Damn! Why is there a jellyfish here?!” Jack Sparrow’s eyes popped out when he saw the jellyfish.
Thankfully, he recognized this jellyfish’s species and knew that the jellyfish’s poison would not be fatal. He hurriedly sprawled on the wooden barrel and lifted his feet out of the water to prepare for emergency treatment.
When he lifted his feet, Jack Sparrow saw that his ankle was swollen. But he did not have a knife at hand, so he could only use his nails to cut his skin open and squeeze out the blood inside.
However, even though he squeezed out the poisoned blood, greater trouble appeared. A triangular fin appeared in the sea in the distance, and it was rapidly approaching Jack Sparrow.
A shark was attracted by the smell of blood…
This did not mean that the smell of blood would certainly attract sharks. It depended on whether there were sharks in the area. But Jack Sparrow was just unlucky. This shark happened to pass by when he was squeezing out the poisoned blood…
Seeing the shark, Jack Sparrow panicked. Normally, as long as people did not move, the shark might not attack anyone. But the problem was that there was still blood on Jack Sparrow’s foot!
With no other choice, Jack Sparrow could only take a deep breath, sink into the water, and prepare to fight the incoming shark.
Fortunately, what he encountered this time was not a great white shark but a slightly smaller hammerhead shark. This kind of shark would only hurt people in extreme situations. Jack Sparrow understood its habits and eventually drove it away.
Jack Sparrow resurfaced and lay on the wooden barrel, panting heavily. Even so, he did not abandon the gold on his back.
He thought that there should not be anything more. But to his surprise, after floating on the sea for more than an hour, there was a strong gust of wind!
Although it was not a storm, the wind was blowing in a different direction than where Jack Sparrow was heading. Under the strong wind, Jack Sparrow was getting farther and farther away from his original course…
This time, even Jack Sparrow was at his wit’s end. There were no ships in sight, and he could not even ask for help. He could only let the wind take him away in despair…
After seeing Jack Sparrow’s misfortunes through the Demon Eye, even Roy was shocked. He finally understood what the curse on demon gold was.
It seemed that after being contaminated by the black gas, Jack Sparrow’s luck kept declining, so much so that he encountered unlucky events one after another.
It was just that he did not know if this demon gold, which could bring about bad luck, could cause the holder to become unlucky enough to die. Sometimes, bad luck was very cruel. If you were extremely unlucky, you could even choke to death just by drinking water!
Roy shook his tail and thought, If the owner is really unlucky enough to die, what would happen to their soul?
