Although the demons in the Ashan world also had factional struggles, they did not implicate Roy for now.
Therefore, Grawl welcomed Roy’s arrival. High-rank demons could mostly communicate equally, especially before their respective interests were harmed.
Along the way, Grawl chatted with Roy, and after realizing that no dark elves were harassing them, he was even more amazed and asked Roy how he subdued these annoying assassins.
When he was communicating with Roy, his tone was very respectful. He was a typical war demon, the kind who relied on his muscles to eat. But during the conversations, Roy found that this guy was not reckless, and he had been secretly inquiring about Roy’s origins.
Roy still said the same thing, that he was sealed back then. Moreover, he used Rafaro’s identity and said that he was sealed during the Elder Wars.
This excuse stunned Grawl. If it was really during the Elder Wars, it would have been a long time ago.
Grawl felt relieved. It was normal that he had not heard of Roy’s name since it happened so long ago.
At the same time, Roy had been trying to figure out what the sacrificial ritual that Grawl had mentioned was about. But it seemed like Grawl was not too clear. He was only an ordinary high-rank demon hero. He knew a little about the situation, but not much, so he could not say what it was for. In addition, this guy still had the awareness to maintain secrecy, so Roy could not find out anything from him. Under Grawl’s lead, Roy and the others did not go to the city where Grawl stayed. Instead, they kept going deeper into Eeofol and toward Ur-Hekal. Due to the large number of explosions to build cities, the environment in Eeofol had been severely damaged. The black ground left from the flowing magma was everywhere, and the sweltering air was full of the pungent smell of sulfur. In such an environment, it was very difficult for other species to survive. Most of the ones here were mutated monsters.
This environment was also one of the reasons why the other races could not conquer Eeofol. Even if they knew that the demons had established a country on the surface and that the demons were an immense threat, they were helpless since the various races themselves were not united. Thus, they could only limit the demons and not truly eliminate them.
After traveling for more than a week, Grawl was no longer worried about the attacks of the dark elven assassins. The dark elves of the Shadowbrand clan would probably find it difficult to go too deep into Eeofol, even without Roy’s T-Virus causing them trouble.
During this time, Grawl went to ‘care for’ Fat Tiger most of the time!
Of course, he also knew that Fat Tiger was Roy’s pet and subordinate, so he did not dare to have any ideas about Fat Tiger and wanted to abduct him or anything like that. But it was not without reason that he was known as the Hound Master. He seemed to love demons like hellhounds very much. Just like the dog lovers among humans, Grawl was infatuated with hellhounds.
He had a large army of three-headed hellhounds under him, which he had trained all by himself. These elite hellhounds were very loyal to Grawl. Under his command, these hellhounds were fearless and could tear apart any enemy for him.
Fat Tiger’s enormous body was exceptionally rare among the entire hellhound race. Moreover, Fat Tiger had demon wings that other hellhounds did not have. It could be said that Fat Tiger was a super flying dog in Grawl’s eyes! This was also why he was so excited. He had been trying to understand why Fat Tiger had become like this.
After obtaining Roy’s permission, Grawl carefully cut off a few of Fat Tiger’s hairs with his scythe. These hairs took him a lot of effort because each of them was as hard as steel.
Roy did not stop him from researching because he knew that Grawl would not be able to study anything at all. Fat Tiger’s mutation was from the system. But looking at his infatuated expression, Roy’s eyes darted around, and he pretended to tell him casually that Fat Tiger liked to eat dragon meat!
Just this sentence made Grawl pay attention. He told Roy that when the demons detonated volcanoes in Eeofol, they had discovered several wild lava dragons living in them. The demons did not disturb these powerful lava dragons for the time being. He remembered that there was one on the way to Ur-Hekal.
Roy did make any comments about this topic, so Grawl could only bring his troops to hunt a dragon alone!
When he returned, he really brought back the corpse of a gigantic adult lava dragon!
However, Grawl seemed to have paid an immense price to hunt this wild lava dragon. Hundreds of his elite hellhounds had died, and he was also covered in injuries.
As the name implied, lava dragons were dragons that liked to live in magma. Unlike red dragons, lava dragons liked to soak their entire bodies in magma, so they could only be found in the depths of volcanoes.
The wings of these dragons had completely degenerated, and they could not fly at all. But correspondingly, they had evolved a defensive ability that far exceeded that of ordinary dragons. On the surface of their bodies were shells of incomparably hard magma, and these shells had completely fused with their dragon scales and could not be stripped off. Furthermore, they also maintained high temperatures, and it was a natural magma shield. They could breathe out lava dragon breath, and its lethality was extraordinary. They also had gigantic bodies and weight. When an adult lava dragon stood up, it was probably around seven to eight floors tall. They were extremely powerful dragons.

Grawl did not have Roy’s Dragon Slayer Magic, so it must have been incredibly difficult for him to defeat such a powerful lava dragon. The death of the elite hellhounds he had personally trained made him feel immensely pained. But for Fat Tiger, he still did not hesitate to complete the dragon hunt and brought back this lava dragon.
Roy was shocked when he saw his miserable appearance. He felt that he would probably be touched if he were Fat Tiger. He was treating Fat Tiger as a master!
Unfortunately, Fat Tiger was heartless. He only recognized Roy as his master, so he did not care how much Grawl had sacrificed to obtain his favor. When Fat Tiger saw the lava dragon, his saliva flowed, and he rubbed his heads against Roy, asking Roy to make him a feast.
Lava dragons were mostly in a magma state, and they did not have many edible parts. This was something Roy only discovered when he handled the lava dragon. In particular, when the fiery red muscles inside were stripped off, they were still emitting high temperatures. There was no need to cook such dragon meat at all. They could just eat it directly.
Roy tasted it and found that the meat of the lava dragon was spicy! The burning taste in his mouth did not need any spices at all!
Fat Tiger fell in love the moment he took the first bite!
A lava dragon that weighed dozens of tons only had a few tons of edible parts. Under Fat Tiger’s devouring, it did not last for more than five minutes. After eating, he looked at Grawl longingly, meaning: Are you getting more?
Grawl shivered under Fat Tiger’s gaze. He wanted to cry but had no tears. Although high-rank demons usually had no problems dealing with dragons, it still depended on what kind of dragons they were. One adult lava dragon had cost him a lot, so how could he withstand a few more?
Fortunately, Grawl did not do anything useless. After Fat Tiger ate the lava dragon, he witnessed Fat Tiger’s evolution process. His skin soon began to glow dark red and emit a high temperature.
His body was in a similar state as the lava dragon. His dragon-scaled skin gradually showed the effect of the lava dragon’s magma rock skin. Moreover, for his head that could breathe flames, the temperature of the flames that it spewed out rose considerably.
Roy had now discovered that Fat Tiger often benefited after devouring these powerful creatures. He seemed to be able to absorb some of the advantages of the creatures he devoured to evolve.
To be honest, Roy had not expected so much when he set his attributes. This was entirely the system looking after him…
The effect of this evolution made Grawl extremely excited. He felt that the price he paid was really worth it. He firmly believed that Fat Tiger was a rare hellhound in the Abyss and had noble bloodlines, so in the following time, he constantly encouraged his female hellhounds to find ways to get close to Fat Tiger.
He planned to borrow his seed…
But the problem was that Fat Tiger was too big now. Even if he really had that intention, these ordinary female hellhounds could not accept it at all! They wailed as soon as he pressed down…
This issue caused Grawl to feel like he was banging his head against a wall…
After about four days, a colossal demon city appeared in front of everyone.
They had finally reached Ur-Hekal, the capital of Eeofol.
Looking at the city, Roy could not help but smile sinisterly.
Xeron, I’ve come to find you. I wonder if you’ll be able to recognize me…
