Chapter 18: The returning old demon

Roy originally wanted to stay here, waiting to see when the old demon would come back, but what he didn't expect was that he had waited a full seven days for his defense.
Of course, the seven-day period is only an estimate. Roy is not sure how long it will be. In short, the time is quite long.
During this period, Roy discovered that the opening of the altar was not occasional. On the contrary, its opening frequency was quite high!
The magic circle on the altar, after a short time, will emit a faint light, and then various smells will be emitted in the void.
This phenomenon has increased, and Roy has gradually realized that every time the magic circle is activated, someone is communicating with the abyss demon world and offering sacrifices in an attempt to summon demons, but, like the first time, sacrifice The product is a high-quality soul, but it is rare. Most of the smell of sacrifices from the void is full of blood.
Roy guessed that this may be a sacrifice used by the summoner, but blood or internal organs would cause this situation.
However, although aura can also attract demons, it is actually far less attractive to demons than souls. After all, in the Abyss Demon Realm, demons are also hunting for blood and blood, smelling things like blood and smelling enough.
Therefore, when the summoner offers this kind of sacrifice, it is generally impossible to attract powerful demons, only some monsters, or relatively weak demons, and this must be enough to be strong enough. Yes, if the blood is not strong enough, even this monster will dismiss it, which will cause the magic circle to dim soon after it has been activated for a period of time.
This is the summon failed...
In addition to the unattractive sacrifice of the offering, there is also the fact that the activation time of the magic circle is too short. Yi found that similar summons failed quite a lot.
If the communication magic circle also needs magic power, then this situation is likely to be caused by the unsustainable magic power of the summoner...
This makes Roy faintly aware of one thing, that is, most people who want to summon demons are probably only half-hearted! Not only do they have low magic power, but they don't even understand what the devil really wants!
Of course, this may not be to blame for those summoners, because even if it is half-hearted, there are still people who have successfully summoned the devil. After being attracted, he stepped into the magic circle and was successfully teleported away, especially the three little devils. Maybe they were the same group of members hatched as Roy. Roy used the T virus and passed. After a long period of growth, if you enter the mature body one step ahead of time, the other little demons won't work. They have to grow up honestly.
However, during the growth period, little demons are usually more difficult to hunt and survive very hard, so there will be little demons wandering here, attracted by the blood and responding to the call, so are the attracted monsters. It is precisely because these weak demons and monsters occasionally respond to the summons, which leads to the summoning of demons, and the saying "success rate" appears...
Needless to say, the half-spoken summoners who have failed the summoning will probably think that they have mastered the knack of the summoning because of this success, so they will record their own methods and spread them out, which will lead to the subsequent people, The way of summoning demons is getting more and more distorted...
After all, there are definitely not many people who truly understand the Abyss Demon Realm.
And from this, it can be inferred that the summoner who uses high-quality souls to attract demons, and even makes demons first determine the winner through a fight, is the real demon summoner! I just don't know, what the world that demon summoner is in is like...
During Roy’s waiting time, some of the monsters and little demons who had been summoned to the past came back one after another. These returnees usually have a satisfied expression on their faces. It is probably because they have successfully enjoyed the sacrifices. But there are also those who look very miserable. After returning, they are all covered with bruises and lack of arms and legs. It is not uncommon for these injured to have encountered powerful enemies. Although they escaped back for their lives, they are probably in the abyss. The Demon Realm will not live long, and will soon become the priority hunting target for other demons and monsters...
Roy couldn't help it, and shot and killed the two wounded lower demons. However, the souls he harvested were displayed in the system as "mutilated lower souls"!
This shows that these demons may be missing a part of their souls due to injuries in the process of summoning!
What exactly is going on? Roy secretly rejoiced, but fortunately, he didn't rush into the magic circle. This situation was something he hadn't expected at all.
He felt that he would look at the old demon when he came back, because that old demon, like Alanya, had mastered the language of the devil and could communicate with him, and looked at his proficient appearance when he entered the magic circle. , I am afraid that he has responded to the call more than once, he absolutely knows what the demon call is like.
As for how to communicate with this old demon, it can only take one step to see.
On the seventh day, black spots appeared in the magic circle without warning, the black spots expanded rapidly, and a portal appeared, and then a huge figure appeared in the magic circle.
The old demon finally showed up and returned, but as soon as he appeared, his huge body immediately fell into the magic circle, making a loud noise, and the ash on the inner wall of the volcano followed the huge shaking. Falling down rustlingly.
The situation of the old devil looks quite miserable. It can be said that Roy has seen the worst situation in this period of time!
One of the devil's horns on his head has been completely broken off, and his entire face was stained with purple blood flowing out. The stone hammer weapon that he was holding in his hand has disappeared. It is estimated that he has been lost. The tail is also broken, and the thick scales on his body are covered with hundreds of wounds, large and small, and the most serious is a two-meter-long wound on his abdomen, just like It was just like being cut through with a sharp weapon directly, even the internal organs fell out and fell to the ground in a lot...
Roy was shocked when he saw the tragic appearance of this old demon. With such a fatal injury, this guy could come back alive! ?
He can be sure that the old demon was summoned in the past and definitely experienced a fierce battle, but his injuries made it easy for Roy to communicate with him, so Roy climbed down from the inner wall of the volcano and came to the altar.
In fact, in the process of his coming down, the old demon was already struggling and crawled out of the magic circle of the altar. It is estimated that he felt that he should climb out quickly, in case someone summons a demon again at this time, and then stay in What should he do if he summons the past? I'm already injured like this, and if I'm called to the past, it's really hopeless...
After he crawled out of the magic circle, he naturally noticed Roy approaching him for the first time. Although the old demon was full of blood, he still screamed at Roy viciously.
He thought Roy was here to pick up the leak, and of course he couldn't have a good face to Roy.
But although fierce, there was a trembling sound in his roar, revealing his inner anxiety.
Of course Roy can hear it, so there is no nonsense. As soon as he came up, he said to him in the language of the devil: "Answer...my question...the question, otherwise, you will...die!"
There are very few demons who can communicate with him, so Roy's demon language is not proficient, but the devil's soul language has the advantage that it can quickly let the other party know what he wants to express.
While talking, Roy also scratched his claws on the hard stone slab on the ground. Although he could not make a scratch, he still scratched the stone slab with sparks. He passed this way. The way to prove that he now has the ability to easily kill the old demon.
Looking at Roy's extremely strong muscles and claws now, even if Roy's height is actually only a quarter of the old devil's height, the old devil is just lying down with a serious injury! So the old demon quickly compromised. He said to Roy in the words of the devil: "What are you asking?"
