Chapter 75: No One Could Fight
Therefore, the scariest things in most cases were the ignorant novices!
Although the demons of the Abyss had always appeared chaotic and violent, in fact, they had some established rules. For example, no demon could go to the birthplaces on the surface in order to avoid disturbing the birth of the little demons.
And there was also an established rule in these places of refinement. It did not matter whether your demon promotion was successful or not, but you could not use your powers in these places. Although this rule was limited to within the barrier, it had always been a beneficial rule that safeguarded the promotion of low-rank demons. It allowed low-rank demons to achieve their bloodline awakenings without interference, so the demons instinctively followed this rule.
But now, Roy, this completely ignorant fellow, broke this rule. After his promotion, he actually experimented with the power he had obtained here. This was definitely a big mistake!
In particular, the strange black frost and snow that he created could actually consume the demons’ magic power after touching them.
If the T-Virus was just a drug that Roy had used to strengthen his body before, then after the T-Virus integrated into his bloodline, it immediately became a powerful weapon. The mutated T-Virus was fine in Roy’s body. But this virus needed magic power to survive, so after being carried by the black snow, it would desperately consume magic power to provide nutrients for itself. And the source of this magic power was naturally the snow-covered creatures with magic power.
Low-rank demons had a limit to the magic power in their bodies. Their magic power was for building a magic power circuit during their bloodline awakening, and the amount of magic power they had was already very tight. But Roy’s Magic Power Virus was consuming it, causing the demons who were promoting in the same batch as Roy to face a huge crisis!
The magic power for building their circuits was not enough!
Failure to construct a circuit was tantamount to failing their promotions. This cruel Abyss would not give them a second chance for promotion. The middle-rank demons loitering outside the barrier were the so-called hunters. If they were still low-rank demons when they emerged from the barrier, then these hunters would tear them apart without hesitation and snatch their souls!
The reason why that four-armed middle-rank demon had let Roy go was that Roy did not have the smell of the pool water in the place of refinement at the time. This meant that he had not soaked in the demon hot spring, so the four-armed middle-rank let Roy go and even pointed the way. After all, most middle-rank demons had come to be the same way, so they were more forgiving to demons seeking promotion.
However, if he were still a low-rank demon with the smell of the demon hot spring on him, it meant that he had failed his promotion. And in the middle Abyss, only death awaited the defeated low-rank demons!
When the demons that were roaring at Roy realized that they would fail if they jumped out of the pool, they were overcome with despair. Even if they pushed off the black snow on them, the snow would still fall on them as long as Roy was testing his power. It was basically impossible to get rid…
The promoted demons had already left the barrier, and there were tens of low-rank demons remaining in the midst of promotion. Usually, low-rank demons would submit to a middle-rank demon like Roy, but in their desperation, the low-rank demons could no longer suppress their violent nature. They jumped out of the water and attacked Roy.
Failures would die, and those who broke the rules were also dead meat…
Of course, Roy noticed the demons’ intentions of attacking. He was initially apologetic toward these ‘classmates’. After all, his power had interfered with them, which was unexpected to him. But when he realized that the demons wanted to kill him, Roy immediately launched his retaliation!
Fat Tiger, who had been guarding by the pool, jumped up at the same time. He covered Roy’s side, and his three heads opened their mouths wide and sprayed flames, frost, and venom in a fan shape. The attack covered a very large area, and it hit several demons. Some of them caught fire and burned fiercely, while others were corroded by the freezing air and froze. Some of them were even sprayed by the venom and were rolling on the ground in pain.
However, other demons were following close behind, so Fat Tiger charged forward and used his sharp claws and teeth to fight them.
A demon went behind Fat Tiger and tried to grab his tail, but Fat Tiger’s snake-like tail dodged its claws, and then the snake head bit its hand!
The palm of the bitten demon immediately appeared abnormal. First, it felt numb, then stiffened, and then the entire palm became as heavy as a stone. This petrification effect not only appeared on its palm but also continuously spread up its arm…
Although Fat Tiger was created with the appearance of a low-rank demon hellhound, due to the ‘Can Grow’ attribute Roy set and his continuous feeding, Fat Tiger’s combat strength had long surpassed that of ordinary hellhounds. He did not lose out even when fighting against a few top low-rank demons at the same time.
While Fat Tiger blocked some of the approaching demons for Roy, Roy suddenly increased his magic power output, and the cold aura surrounding him immediately caused the temperature to drop!
The reason why the power of frost demons restrained the majority of demons was that demons had always been living in blistering hot Abyss. They had strong resistance to flames and high temperatures, but their resistance to frost and cold was weak. When Roy’s cold black aura erupted, the demons at the front immediately froze, and ice appeared on their bodies.
The lower temperature caused by Roy’s frost power was related to his magic power output. The more the magic power output, the lower the temperature. When he tested it out earlier, his consumption of magic power was not too high, so only frost and snow had appeared. However, after increasing his magic power output, the surrounding temperature immediately fell drastically.
What appeared on these demons was black ice! Such a color was something that the demons had never seen before!
However, the freezing process was not complete. The demons found that this black ice was exceptionally ‘heavy’! Their frozen parts were constantly tightening and compressing, causing immense pain in their muscles and bones. Two of the demons could no longer hold on, and their stiff bodies were directly crushed onto the ground by the ice.
This black ice was a strange power born from fusing with the Dark-Dark Fruit. The dark elements in the ice were not as corrosive as the dark elements in the conventional sense, but it had a strong gravitational effect. Be it snow or ice, when they came into contact with objects, they would produce a gravitational force that collapsed inward. The larger the contact area, the stronger the gravity, so a special ‘weight’ would appear!
When it was the black snow coming into contact with the demons, they only felt that they had a weight of tens of kilograms on them. But after the freezing, this weight instantly increased to hundreds or even thousands of kilograms. And this was just the result of freezing part of their bodies. If their entire bodies were frozen, then the extra weight would probably be in the tens of thousands!
The ‘weight’ might not necessarily be enough to crush these low-rank demons. After all, the demons had very powerful muscles, but with the black ice continuously devouring their magic power, their demon hearts began to weaken.
This Magic Power Virus was an extremely terrifying blight for creatures with magic power! After devouring the creature’s magic power, the Magic Power Virus would attack the center of the creature’s magic power storage and eventually cause its death due to the failure of the magic power organ!
The best way to deal with this virus was to avoid coming into contact with Roy’s cold aura. After all, the Magic Power Virus was created with his frost power. Alternatively, after being infected, immediately cleanse your body with flames to kill this virus. But the problem was that these low-rank demons had already given up on their promotion and had not constructed their magic power circuits, so how could they use the power of flames?!
This led to a terrible outcome. Roy merely spread his cold aura out and killed seven or eight low-rank demons!
Although middle-rank demons were extremely powerful compared to low-rank demons, it was very rare to have a crushing effect like Roy. He was only a lower-middle-rank demon who had just completed his promotion…
While fighting against these low-rank demons surrounding him, Roy gradually understood the strength of his new talents, Dark Frost and Magic Power Virus. They could be considered Roy’s unique talents, and it was impossible for other frost demons to have these talents like him. This made Roy realize that the gap between his style and that of other demons was becoming wider…
Roy Beast has evolved! Dark Roy Beast!
Could not get close! These low-rank demons could not even get close to Roy. Not a single one could resist Roy’s cold aura with darkness and disease.
Fat Tiger was not affected by Roy’s cold aura and Magic Power Virus. He killed a few low-rank demons in the battle, and Roy’s cold aura solved the rest. All three of Fat Tiger’s faces were at a loss after the battle. Weren’t these people attacking Master? Why are they all lying down?
Roy merely stood there and radiated his aura for a bit before all his classmates died…
Roy finally experienced deeply what it meant to be lonely like snow…
