In the dark and gloomy abyss world, there is no sun and moon rising in the east and setting in the west, which makes the demons' perception of time become dull.
Unknowingly, Roy had been staying in this middle abyss for a month. During this month, Roy gradually adapted to the life here.
He feels that the biggest difference between this middle abyss world and the shallow abyss world is that the number of demons has decreased!
They say that lower-level demons are cannon fodder. This is true. What is cannon fodder? large! Take charge! During the time when Roy was exploring the shallow abyss world, he could see lower-level demons almost wherever he went, and it was super lively. But in this middle abyss world, he couldn't see this kind of situation. Much sparser.
This situation is of course normal. Only through survival of the fittest can lower-level demons be promoted to middle-level demons, and their number will definitely decrease. From this, the number of upper-level demons must also be lower than that of middle-level demons. Such a pyramid-like class The situation seems to be the same regardless of race.
Since the number has decreased, the killings between middle-ranked demons are less frequent. Perhaps it is because of the awakening of the bloodline. Even some demons of the same type will try to avoid fighting after encountering them!
This reminded Roy of the high-ranking demons Serron and Ignatis. Although they were also scheming with each other, they could also cooperate with each other to formulate strategies for war.
The higher you go, the rarer the number of demons become, so they gradually start to cherish their own kind. It seems that the germination of this lineage theory should have started from the period of the middle demon...
There are fewer killings among the same race, but the middle demon also needs to devour souls to strengthen his magic power. What should we do
What I have to mention here is that there are many monsters living in the middle abyss world, but the sad thing is that if these monsters are in the shallow abyss world, they can also prey on lower-level demons and have the potential to become real demons. Possibility, but here, the power of the middle demon is not on the same level as that of the lower demons. After knowing how to use magic, the combat power of the middle demon has greatly increased, and it is no longer an easy target for monsters to defeat!
Therefore, these monsters can only survive in groups, and they can only gain living space by clinging to groups. And when they appear in groups, it means that the middle demon has a fixed source of souls.
As a result, this caused the middle demons to develop territorial awareness. They would choose places where monsters lived in groups, stay here for a long time, hunt these monsters regularly, and then devour their souls.
In this way, the monsters began to become like domestic animals. The only difference is that the middle demons will not tame them and simply let them roam free...
Roy has seen a lot of such situations during this period, so he always feels a little weird. They say that demons are chaotic and disorderly. There seems to be something wrong with this. This kind of ecology is like a primitive society. Isn’t it also considered a kind of order
In fact, Roy's guess was right. If every layer of the abyss in the demon world were like the shallow one, with lower-level demons killing each other, then the demon race would probably not be able to reproduce. Demons are also a race, and as long as If it is a race, there will be a social form. As the classes progress, there will always be order. Even beasts without intelligence will have certain habits, let alone demons who have language and inherited wisdom. life.
Therefore, although humans and other races classify demons as a chaotic evil camp, this is actually caused by the inability of other races to understand demons in depth. Moreover, chaotic evil is not a manifestation of order...
Although the median demon can hunt monsters to obtain souls, the souls of monsters cannot be called delicacies to demons. After all, the souls of monsters can only be regarded as the spirits of beasts. They have thin minds and souls. The negative emotions are much less. Roy himself has tasted the soul. Of course, he knows that the more negative emotions there are, the more tempting the soul is to the devil. The souls of these monsters can only satisfy the average devil. Just a few daily necessities.
After consuming the soul of a monster for a long time, the median demon will generally become more and more irritable. This is a unique "disease" of demons. This is caused by the fact that the soul of the monster cannot meet the demon's own magic power growth requirements. It can be regarded as a kind of "malnutrition". Often after such symptoms appear, they will invade the territory of other demons, and then fight with each other. The winner devours the other's soul, thereby alleviating his own malnutrition.
Most of the fights between middle demons occur in this situation. However, most of the time, the souls of the same race cannot relieve their malnutrition. This is caused by the nature of demons. Even middle demons Their wisdom has improved a lot, but due to the living environment here, many demons are accustomed to killing and being killed. They have less fear of death and pain, and the resulting negative emotions are also less. For magic The nourishment is not much better.
Therefore, another solution for the middle demons is that they will actively seek to travel to other worlds to hunt other intelligent species in exchange for better souls.
When lower-level demons go to other worlds, they are lured there by sacrifices in most cases, which can be seen as passive behavior, but middle-level demons have already taken the initiative to go to other worlds.
What kind of situation does this lead to? That is around the altar of the Abyss Gate built in the middle abyss world. There are always many middle-level demons waiting there! Compared with the situation in the shallow abyss where the number of lower-level demons is sparse near the altar, there is a big difference. Moreover, when these middle-level demons enter the gate of the abyss, they do not enter one by one. Sometimes, They were swarming into the abyss door that was opened at the same time!
Why is this possible? There is only one explanation for this, and that is that this kind of gate to the abyss is a war summoning gate opened by a summoner with a lot of magic power! Only huge magic power can accommodate so many demons passing through at once!
As for the summoners, you don't need to think about it to know that most of them are high-level demons or demon warlocks like Sellon, or even demon lords with stronger power.
At this point, Roy can finally understand why demons are so keen on waging wars in other worlds... Compared to the upper-level demons, they have a decent number of middle-level demons, but compared to the lower-level demons, they have They also have magic power and better combat effectiveness, so no matter how you look at it, the median demon belongs to the backbone warrior class of the demon clan.
Of course, if some middle-rank demons are summoned, they may not really be able to participate in the battle. They may also become mounts for higher-ranking ones, such as those nightmare demons. But no matter what, if the middle-rank demon is summoned, or You can get some soul rewards more or less, and the quality and deliciousness of the souls of intelligent life forms in other worlds are much better!
Roy has not experienced such symptoms yet. This is because Roy has a system of father protection, and the devil's soul-eating addiction has been quit long ago with the help of the essence of magic potion!
Even if it takes three or four monster souls to extract a little bit of magic energy, as long as there are enough, Roy can still increase his magic power and will not suffer from the mania of dissatisfaction like other demons.
He now also occupies a territory, and there are still a lot of monsters living here, which can still meet his needs.
However, as long as Roy wants to evolve, sooner or later he will have to participate in external wars like other mid-level demons, because he cannot possibly rob the territories of all other mid-level demons. If the territory is too big, damn He and Fat Tiger couldn't take care of it at all. He was not a real demon lord. He had overwhelming power and could make other demons surrender to him and manage them for him.
As for creating loyal subordinates through the system, this is feasible, but the prerequisite is that there must be souls with divine attributes or evil attributes...
In the past month, Roy has been paying attention to his execution mission, but he has not been able to find other phantoms. It seems that phantoms are a rare race in the abyss world, so there are no other phantoms for the time being. With a targeted understanding of his opponent, Roy could only reserve magic attributes first. Now he even temporarily stopped feeding Fat Tiger's soul, and all the souls he obtained were used to strengthen his own magic power.
Because in the process of constantly using magic power, Roy discovered something: after the bloodline was awakened, the magic circuit built in Roy's body could actually further expand the nodes with frequent use. Further purify your demonic bloodline!
Roy's current magic circuit is constructed of approximately thirty-six nodes, starting from the heart and extending throughout the chest. However, the number of these nodes is not fixed. In the past month, Roy has passed I have been familiar with my dark frost magic power, and now there is an extra node!
Roy could feel that the more nodes there were, the faster the magic power circulated in the circuit, and the stronger the magic power formed at the same time.
And because this magic circuit is unique to the Frost Demon, the more magic circuit nodes there are, the purer the Frost Demon's bloodline is!
Roy believes that this should be the real way from a middle-level demon to a high-level demon. When the magic circuit grows enough to purify the bloodline into a pure-blooded demon, it can be called a high-level demon...
But repeated use of the magic circuit requires Roy to have corresponding magic support, so in this month, Roy has been increasing his magic attribute reserves. The higher the magic attribute, the longer the duration of using the magic circuit, and the magic power The response speed will also be faster.
Of course, considering that as time goes by, the probability of his mission target Cizer being expelled will become higher and higher, so Roy plans to use the soul he obtained after the magic attribute increases to 600 points. Store it first for emergencies.
Just when Roy thought that his repetitive hunting life would continue for a long time, an unexpected situation happened!
On the forty-second day of the middle abyss world, the purple magic moon above the earth's surface suddenly shined brightly again, announcing that a new round of demons'... vengeance had arrived!
