Custom Made Demon King Chapter 213 - Black Dragon Blood

Chapter 213 Black Dragon Blood
Due to the alternate space where the Black Stone Throne was, the flow of time was much slower than in the main world. So even though Roy and Julia had been outside for more than three years, it had not been that long for Lilith. From her perspective, Roy and Julia had only left for a few months.[1]
Because of the slow flow of time, the massive Void vortex in the sky could not devour this alternate space so quickly.
However, when Roy returned, he still found that the devouring of this world was becoming much more serious. Even the top of the Black Stone Castle, where Lilith was at, had a small part missing since the last time he saw it, all turning into fragments that were attracted by the massive vortex. Comparing the last time he was here and this time, Roy calculated that perhaps in another four to five years, the Black Stone Castle would completely disappear.
This puzzled Roy. He did not understand why Lilith would stay here even though she knew that the erosion of the Void power was so severe.
If she had stayed here to wait for Samael’s return at the beginning, then when she heard the news from Julia that Samael was sealed, she should have left…
Or is she staying here to truly try to think of a way to resist the erosion of Void power?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Roy’s mind, but the moment he saw Lilith, all of these thoughts were thrown away. He pretended to look dispirited as he covered his armless shoulder with one hand while Julia was supporting him. He lowered his head and said to Lilith, “I’m sorry, Your Majesty Lilith, I have failed you… I tried to sneak into the Charred Council to steal the Red Sea Egg, but I was discovered. Raphael, one of the councilors, appeared and stopped me. If not for my life-saving skill, I might not have only lost an arm but my entire soul…”
Lilith laid lazily on her bed as she looked at Roy and then at Roy’s missing arm. Her pair of demon eyes flashed, and it was unknown what she was thinking, but she did not speak for a long time.
Beside Roy, Julia also lowered her head, not daring to look at Lilith. In her impression, Mother Lilith was too cunning and smart, and Julia was afraid that something was wrong with her expression, so she simply buried her head and did not say anything.
“Raphael?” Finally, Lilith straightened her body. “I also guessed that it would be him. The high-level angel incarnation that appeared in this world back then disappeared from the White City…”
While speaking, Lilith got up and walked over. After arriving in front of Roy, she stretched out her right index finger with a long nail, hooked Roy’s chin, and lifted his face. Then she lowered her head to approach Roy. “Come, child, tell me! Since you’ve encountered Raphael’s incarnation, tell me if there’s anything unusual with him!” “Unusual? I’m sorry, Your Majesty Lilith, I didn’t find anything…” Roy was puzzled. He really had not noticed anything. After all, when Raphael attacked, he had killed him decisively. After seeing him, Roy was completely thinking about how to save his life and escape. How could he have had the time to see what was wrong with Raphael? Roy was not lying about this, so Lilith could not see anything wrong in his eyes and nodded. “Okay, I think that even if something is happening to Raphael, he won’t show it in front of others!”
Roy suddenly thought of something and asked, “Your Majesty Lilith, are you suspecting that Raphael’s incarnation has also been corroded by Void power?”
Lilith loosened her finger and nodded. “Didn’t I say earlier that the councilors of the Charred Council can be regarded as the gods of this world? Since Void power likes to corrode those gods, there’s no reason why the councilors would not have symptoms of infection…”
Roy’s heart skipped a beat. After hearing Lilith’s words, he suddenly suspected if Lilith’s true intention in getting him to steal the Red Sea Egg was to verify if the three councilors had been corroded by the Void. After all, the three councilors had been hiding in the alternate space of the Charred Council. They did not appear in the outside world, and it was very difficult for outsiders to enter, so it was extremely hard to know about their situation. Since Samael and Lilith were targeting the Charred Council, they definitely had to consider the opponents’ situation first…
However, Roy soon felt that this idea was a little unreliable. If that’s the case, how can she ensure that I could return alive and bring back news after entering?
Was she really so confident in me that she thought I could escape from a seraphim-level archangel incarnation?
No, Lilith must have had other moves! Roy suddenly thought of the two Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Fury and Death, who had come to this Black Stone Throne before!
If Lilith had left some unknown means of surveillance on Fury, then as Fury returned to the Charred Council Space, the situation inside might be transmitted to Lilith… This is much more reliable than placing her hopes on a high-rank demon!
In other words, Lilith’s so-called mission for me to search for the Red Sea Egg was indeed just to make me act as bait? Roy calmly analyzed these situations and did not have any anger at all. Roy had never been Lilith’s subordinate, but he was only temporarily obeying Lilith’s orders due to the suppression of the hierarchy. Therefore, when Lilith used him as bait, she did not need to care about his life or death.
But Lilith would never have thought that not only did he survive his encounter with Raphael, but he had even taken the Red Sea Egg for himself…
On this matter, it was unclear who deceived who…
Roy knew that since Lilith was asking him about Raphael’s situation, it meant that she had indeed believed him and felt that he could not complete the mission. Roy had successfully hoodwinked her and passed this matter smoothly. Unless Lilith could meet Raphael, then she could possibly learn from him that the Red Sea Egg had been stolen. However, demon king-level existences like them had a tacit understanding that if they could avoid meeting, they would avoid meeting. It would be a bit difficult for Lilith to confirm the situation of the Red Sea Egg.
“Okay!” Lilith said clearly. “I am also a demon that gives clear rewards and punishments. Although you failed your mission, considering the dangers you faced, I won’t blame you. I’ll even give you a small appropriate reward!”
With that, circles of green magic formation halos appeared on Lilith’s right hand. These magic formations looked very profound, and at least Roy could not tell what kind of magic power it was. Lilith stretched out her right hand, which was surrounded by magic formations, and faced Roy’s lost arm. Then she clenched her claws and slowly twisted to the right.
Then a strange scene appeared. Roy had suppressed his attributes and caused the regeneration speed of his lost right arm to slow down. As Lilith moved, the arm began to grow rapidly! To be precise, this was not the growth of cells. It was as though the missing arm had suddenly appeared! A moment later, Roy’s entire right arm completely appeared, exactly the same as before he ripped it off…
Roy and Julia looked at this scene in surprise and disbelief. “This is… time reversal?!”
“To be precise, it’s time backtracking!” Lilith retracted her arm and placed her hands on her hips. “I only brought back your lost arm to its original state. But why does your right arm look so much stronger than your left arm?”
Roy looked down and saw that it was indeed so. His heart skipped a beat.
Under the effect of the limiter, Roy’s strength maintained its original value of 150, causing his explosive muscles to shrink a lot. However, under Lilith’s magic, Roy’s right arm was restored to 1,500 points of strength, so it naturally looked much stronger.
Roy swayed his tail as his mind spun rapidly. “I have magic that can stimulate my potential, and I used it when I fought with Raphael. The reason why this arm is like this is probably that it was recalled back to that time. After all, my arm was seized by Raphael during combat…”
“Oh?” Lilith’s eyes sparkled. “Magic that stimulates potential? Use it for me to see!”
Damn it, Lilith is really suspicious! Roy cursed inwardly but did not hesitate. “Okay!”
With that, Roy used Bloodlust on himself!
Fortunately, I really have this skill. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to deal with this situation!
Under the effect of Bloodlust, Roy’s strength increased, his body swelled, and his muscles naturally swelled. Although the physical condition of his left arm and right arm was still different, it looked like it had indeed swelled, so Lilith finally dispelled her doubts and said in disdain, “I see. I thought it was something, but it turned out to be a bloodlust technique! You were really courting death by relying on this magic to fight Raphael!”
“That’s why I lost an arm!” Roy feigned a bitter smile and shook his head.
“Since you want power so much, I’ll give you something good!” Lilith waved her hand, and a small crystal bottle suddenly appeared from the void. In this crystal bottle, there was a viscous red and black liquid.
Lilith threw the bottle to Roy. “Take it. This is black dragon blood. Drinking it can increase your strength, but not by much. Both you and Julia can use this black dragon blood.”
Roy lowered his head. “Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty Lilith! Then, we’ll take our leave!”
“Go!” Lilith nodded.
Roy and Julia retreated out of the bedchamber and then slowly left the Black Stone Castle. Only after Julia opened the spatial channel and they left the Black Stone Space did Roy smile at her.
There would be no more problems now…
