Chapter 65: Can Still Stay

Witnessing Xeron’s death with his own eyes, Roy could not help but feel relaxed all over. It was hard to believe that a low-rank demon like him could actually cause the death of a high-rank demon.

Of course, many elements were in play to cause this. Not only because of the war, but also because of Xeron’s greed, the infighting among demons, and so on. But in any case, Roy used these elements reasonably and combined them cleverly to achieve his antic.i.p.ated outcome. Since low-rank demons could not match up to high-rank demons in strength, he could only rely on wisdom.

The demon contract lost its effect the moment Xeron was expelled, and at the same time, a name suddenly appeared in Roy’s mind.

Oserique Rolos Ellaca… Xeron Balosha!

Needless to say, this was part of Xeron’s true name. Because Xeron died as a summoner, the demon contract determined that he could not fulfill the contract and compensated Roy, the summoned.

According to the demon contract, if the summoner died, the demon could collect the soul of the other party. However, the demon contract this time was between demon and demon in another world. The Ouroborus Mark protected both of their souls, so no one could obtain the soul of the other. In the end, Roy could only receive part of Xeron’s true name as compensation.

It was only part of his true name, so it was not very useful. Unless Roy could make use of the demon contract to hoodwink Xeron a few more times, in which case he might be able to gather Xeron’s true name. But then again, no matter how stupid Xeron was, he would not give Roy this opportunity.

Thinking about it, Roy still did not understand how to use a demon’s true name. He only knew that a demon’s true name was something that concerned the life and death of the demon and also something that the demon strictly protected, second to only the demon heart. Thus, it was quite difficult to obtain the full true name of a demon.

After killing Xeron, the dragons had completed their task. At this time, they also discovered the usual condition of their bodies. The light of the Bloodl.u.s.t skill looked very conspicuous.

However, it was obvious that this spell that strengthened them was not from the elves’ heroes. In fact, with the magic resistance of the dragons, many low-level spells could not be cast on them. It was the same even for enchantment magic. Therefore, it was very difficult for dragons to enjoy the effect of a buff on the battlefield.

But now, an enchantment spell appeared on them. How could the dragons not be shocked?

Recalling what Xeron yelled before he died, the dragons realized that someone else had appeared nearby, so they turned their heads and looked around.

Finally, an emerald dragon raised its head and found Roy in the sky. It shouted immediately, “There! d.a.m.n it. It’s a demon!”

The dragons were not stupid. They immediately realized that they might have been used by a demon to kill another demon! So the next moment, all the dragons roared and flapped their wings, flying toward Roy in the sky!

With the pride of the dragons, how could they accept being enchanted by a demon? Therefore, they did share the concept of ‘the enemy of my enemy is a friend’ and only wanted to kill that demon in the sky.

Roy had already expected this. He was a demon, and no one would think that he was a good demon just because he did something beneficial for them. So when Roy saw the dragons fly into the air, he immediately spread his wings and flew away.

Roy flapped his wings and flew at his fastest speed. Roy’s speed might not have exceeded the speed of sound, but it was still very fast. The problem was that these dragons still had Roy’s Bloodl.u.s.t effect on them. With a 40% increase to their strength and speed, the dragons flew equally fast, and Roy could not get rid of them!

Having no other choice, Roy could only use the Flash skill. He kept flying at full strength and used Flash at certain intervals during the flight. Although he could only pull open a distance of fifty meters each time, Roy could ensure that they would not be able to catch him after a few more times. After the duration of Bloodl.u.s.t ran out, the dragons would not be able to do anything to him.

With one side fleeing and one side chasing, both sides flew tens of kilometers in no time. In this kind of chase, the elven troops on the ground could not do anything, and they could only watch as the black spots in the sky flew away.

The dragons had been following Roy closely, but they did not expect that after chasing for a while, instead of catching up, they fell farther and farther away. The dragons roared angrily, and a golden dragon even tried to release Lightning Bolt in order to send Roy cras.h.i.+ng to the ground. However, Roy was too fast, and the lightning could not hit him at all.

When the light of Bloodl.u.s.t faded away, the dragons immediately discovered that their speed dropped. They knew they could not catch up to this demon, so they could only turn back unwillingly.

They planned to report this matter to the Gold Dragon Queen and the elves. After all, they felt like this escaped demon had played them like p.a.w.ns, and they were very worried that this cunning demon was up to no good.

Clearly, Roy, this demon, had attracted their attention…

After throwing off the dragons, Roy slowed down, found a mountain, landed, and then sat on a rock to rest.

Roy appeared excited to have slipped away from the hands of a group of dragons. These were the famous dragons, and they had always been tyrannical existences in novels. He, a low-rank demon, actually fooled them once. This was capital to be arrogant and brag.

Of course, Roy also knew that he had not found anyone to chat with since becoming a demon, so he could only hold it in his heart without anyone to share it with.

During his rest, Roy took a careful look at the current state of his body.

He could feel the repulsive force of this world acting on his body, but it was not like in the Van Helsing world, where the repulsive force of that world was very strong. Especially after his contractor, Lucius, died, it had reached its peak and expelled him without giving him any chance to resist.

Of course, it also coincidentally allowed Roy to avoid Gabriel’s showy attack.

The repulsive force in the Van Helsing world was so strong, but the repulsive force in this Heroes of Might and Magic world was rather… mild?!

It was so mild that Roy could barely feel the repulsive force after using a little bit of magic power to resist it!

Roy finally understood why after summoning him, Xeron had said that demons could stay in this world for a long time. It was because the repulsive force of this world was very weak!

A low-rank demon like him could resist the repulsive force, so what about those high-level demons? Was it possible to stay in this world as long as they used magic power to resist the repulsive force? Or was it that the longer the stay, the stronger the repulsive force would be?

Roy had not tested it, so he did not know. But in any case, this was good news. Even without the demon contract, he could still stay in this world for a while.

Roy remembered that Xeron once said that the reason for this phenomenon was because this world had Urgash, the Dragon of Chaos. It was because of Urgash that this world was much more compatible with chaotic and dark powers.

But Roy felt that this was probably only one of the reasons. According to his experience, the power of a world’s repulsive force would be much more powerful in a low-magic world like the Van Helsing world. On the other hand, in this high-magic Heroes of Might and Magic world, the elements were full of magic and everywhere, resulting in a very weak repulsive force.

This might be because the repulsive force was a world’s protective measure to prevent the invasion of creatures from another world. But no matter how powerful the repulsive force was, as long as the creature entering was strong enough, it could still stay. Just like how Gabriel had appeared in the Van Helsing world, he should have used his own strength to enter that world forcibly. Although it looked eye-catching, he must have used up a lot of energy to resist the power of the world.

Now that he understood this point, Roy was wondering if he could use his own strength to come to this world when he became stronger.

After all, this world had constant wars. Not only could he obtain a large number of souls here, but there were many legendary creatures like dragons, angels, t.i.tans, etc. Many questions such as what the souls of these legendary creatures were like, whether the system could use them, and so on could have answers here. To Roy, this world was like a treasure trove filled with rich opportunities.

Thinking about this, Roy understood what he had to do during his stay in this world.

He planned on thinking of a way to leave a ‘beacon’ in this world!

The teleportation of the Gates of the Abyss was too random, and it was basically guessing what kind of world the summoned would be teleported to. Roy had experienced two worlds. One was the very low-magic Van Helsing world, where low-rank demons were considered powerful existences; the other was the ridiculously high-magic Heroes of Might and Magic world, where low-rank demons were basically at the bottom. This kind of randomness had caused Roy many inconveniences, so he was now thinking about how to designate the teleport destination of the Gates of the Abyss…
