Chapter 16: The fragrance of the soul

After thinking about it for a long time, Roy felt that the increase in magic power might be related to the Devil Soul Eater addiction.
He wondered whether the devil likes to devour the soul, is it because the consumption of the soul will bring the magic increase to the devil, otherwise, if it is just a simple taste, the devil will not chase the soul so madly.
So after thinking about it, Roy took out one of his remaining souls.
Would you like to eat one? Having said that, since my birth to the present, the souls I have obtained have been invested in the system to strengthen myself. I haven't really tasted the soul of the soul, and I don't know whether the soul is true to the devil. So delicious?
What Roy took out was the smallest soul. When Roy stared at the soul light ball, he suddenly found saliva flowing out of his mouth involuntarily, and at the same time an extremely longing thought arose. Just like when I was a human being, I wanted to eat it when I saw those delicious foods!
With a grunt, Roy swallowed the saliva in his mouth, and couldn't wait to throw the soul light ball into his mouth.
The soul light ball the size of a broad bean, when it came into contact with saliva in the mouth, it melted suddenly, no, it disappeared! The saliva of the devil can really decompose the soul!
At the same time, there was an indescribable wonderful taste on Roy's tongue. With this wonderful taste, Roy felt an extreme sense of pleasure throughout his body and mind, as if he was eating his soul. The brain is crazy about secreting dopamine for the body, and even the body feels lighter!
It's really ecstatic...
This feeling lasted for a while before it slowly dissipated, and Roy gradually came back to his senses, constantly recalling the feeling just now, and the more the aftertaste, the more the brain passed on to him. Kind of "want to eat" signal!
In this situation, Roy almost couldn't help taking out all the remaining souls, but fortunately, he still had a little self-control, forcibly resisting this impulse.
"It's risky! This thing is really addictive!" After Roy stopped his hunger and thirst, he touched his chest with lingering fear.
After calming down, he realized that after eating this soul, it seemed that most of the soul had disappeared, and only a small part turned into a special feeling, like a heat flow, first spreading throughout the body. , And then gathered from all parts of the body, and then flowed to the position of his heart, and finally stopped moving.
"Is this heat flow just like magic?" Roy experienced it carefully, a little uncertain, so he simply opened the system interface to check his attributes.
When Roy was experimenting with the power of thinking, he ran out of his mana. However, when I looked again at this time, I found that the mana attribute has now become 0 (+0.3)!
What does it mean? That 0.3 mana increase, is it the mana that he slowly recovers, or is it the increase in the upper limit caused by eating the soul?
If it is the latter, it means that the devil can really increase his magic power by devouring the soul, but if this is the case, Roy feels that it is not good news for himself, because it means In the future, he not only needs to maintain the system to strengthen himself, but also needs to maintain the growth of mana. If you come and go, the souls in need will become more and more!
"It won't work like this, you have to figure out the basic principle of magical energy growth, and then find a way to improve it!" Roy thought like this: "Otherwise it will be a lifetime of poverty!"
Leaving attributes aside for now, Roy created a blank page and started drawing again.
For Roy, the soul is used for the consumption of the system, which is definitely more efficient than directly devouring it for the growth of mana. It also consumes the soul, but the system can bring more things, such as Roy drew now. The same big pants!
Yes, big pants! You may not believe it, Roy has been running for a long time!
Until now, I have no surplus, I can get myself a piece of clothing to cover my body. When I was a little devil, it was fine to be naked, but now that my body suddenly grows bigger, I feel like a 404 if I don't cover it! The coolness of the crotch is not so wonderful.
The color of the pants was customized by Roy to be the same as his own skin tone, and it was made of pure cotton, breathable and dry. After holding his 28-calorie swing stick, Roy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don’t know the application prospect of this iron rod, it is the instinct of every male to protect it, and being a devil is no exception...
I guess he was the first demon to put on pants in this upper abyss, right? Roy thought so, and went on the road again.
This time, Roy slapped his demon wings directly and flew up, starting to explore from the sky.
How big is the abyss of hell? Roy had no way of knowing that he had walked hundreds of kilometers on his legs before, but he was actually afraid that he hadn't even walked out of the range when he was overlooking, let alone there is a lower world.
But now flying in the air, you can see a lot of scenery that you can't see on the ground, um, there are enemies.
Unlike on the ground, the enemies Roy encountered after flying in the air were all bird demons and insect-type demons with elytras. However, when fighting these demons, Roy was able to deal with them easily. , Under the strengthening of the T virus, Roy’s power and speed attributes are still slowly increasing over time, but these flying demons are not good at strength, so when encountering these demons, Roy can Crush them easily, and once Roy is caught, his tail and sharp claws can directly tear their bodies apart.
At the same time, Roy also learned the hunting method of flying demons. When prey appears on the ground, he will dive down from the air quickly. With the help of this dive power, even some huge demons can be directly overwhelmed. .
In order to verify his strength, Roy consciously chooses those mature demons as hunting targets. Fighting with these lower-level and top-level demons is much more interesting than simply bullying the weak. It is very helpful for Roy to hone his skills in fighting. .
Compared with flying demons, Roy is powerful, and for those powerful demons on the ground, Roy can fly. This is invisible, so Roy will have no matter what kind of demon he faces. Advantage, as a result, when Roy successively killed many lower-level and top-level demons, some of the slightly wise demons would choose to evade after seeing Roy's appearance!
Roy now faintly becomes a demon little overlord. It can be said that even if Roy kills back to find the trouble of Alanya, the queen of spiders, she can still be killed...
But Roy did not choose to go back, because for him, killing Alanya was not very attractive to him, because the number of souls he held was increasing. Roy discovered one thing, that is soul. The quality of the creature has nothing to do with whether the creature is strong or not. During this time, he has hunted and killed 23 lower-level and top-level demons, but without exception, these souls are displayed in the system interface as low-level souls. It is larger in size, and its spirit power value is a little higher.
In addition, now that his strength has become stronger, Roy no longer needs to find a cave to avoid danger, so even if he goes back to kill Alanya, the reward is nothing more than a low-level soul, and there is no benefit at all. But it would take him a lot of time to give up the area he has explored and fly back hundreds of kilometers, which is not worth thinking about.
From Roy's point of view, he estimated that he would stay in this upper abyss for a long time, so it's okay to take revenge for being chased and killed by Alanya slowly...
Life in the upper abyss world is very monotonous and boring. It is not just Roy, but almost all the demons living in this world are like this. In addition to fighting for predation, Roy has learned to go as far as possible. Adapted, but after a long time it becomes a little intolerable. He always feels that if he keeps on doing this, he will go crazy. He has even given birth to the idea of ​​"Is it a day to set aside one or two to swallow it as a pastime?" NS.
However, on this day, Roy was flying in the air, waiting for an enemy to hit him and make trouble for him. Suddenly, Roy found dozens of demons on the ground.
These demons gathered together, and there was no conflict. Instead, they moved in the same direction, you ran desperately after me!
Not only on the ground, but also flying demon figures gradually appeared in the air. They were also aiming in the same direction, flapping their wings and flying away.
This scene reminded Roy of the time when he was in the hatchery, so he immediately realized what happened. Only when certain special things happened would the demons appear to act collectively.
So he turned around in the air, and Roy, who was being bored, also got interested and rushed up.
As a result, after flying a certain distance and approaching a certain range, Roy suddenly smelled an indescribable fragrance!
This scent is a bit like the scent of the soul Roy swallowed, but the scent of the soul is not so strong, it is impossible to spread so far.
Roy reacted at once: "Could it be that this is a high-quality soul taste!?"
He lifted his spirits and flew forward quickly...
