Chapter 76: serve as the executioner of the devil

Slowly withdrew his magic power, and the dark cold air around him also dissipated.
When Roy was about to take the soul of the slain demon into his pocket, all of a sudden, the water of the Tempering Pool, which was just bubbling, suddenly rolled up and formed a vortex. The vortex has a strong suction, and it the soul light group scattered around!
All this happened so quickly, and Roy didn't expect such a vision to occur, so that it was too late to get the soul back.
At the same time, Roy felt a powerful force acting on him, the power of enchantment! Roy and Fat Tiger were repelled by the power of the barrier, and were thrown out of the tempering place at once.
He was ejected from one of the gates of evil spirits. As soon as he left the barrier, the power suddenly dissipated. For this reason, Roy and Fat Tiger also fell to the ground.
The median demons wandering around the tempered land looked at Roy and Fat Tiger who were ejected with puzzled expressions. They didn't know what happened.
But at this moment, these median demons seemed to sense something, howled and fled in all directions.
At this moment, Roy just got up from the ground, but he saw that on the door of the evil spirit that he flew out from, the eyes of the evil spirit actually lit up, emitting a scarlet light, and the door of the evil spirit seemed to be here. Come back to life in an instant!
As the scarlet light lit up, a powerful force, or will, descended on this gate of evil spirits. Roy felt the same power as Selron again, so he knew that it must be The will of a certain high-ranking demon is linked to this gate of demons.
"Hohohoho! Look, another challenger has appeared!"
The door of the devil made a sound, and the scarlet eyes stared at Roy, making the devil's face look like a smile but not a smile.
"Sir, who are you...?" Knowing that the other party was a high-ranking demon, Roy didn't dare to be careless. Fortunately, when he was with Selron, he had developed a false respect for the high-ranking demon, so he showed no trace of it. A humble and suspicious look came.
"My name is Edrah! The upper demon!" The voice said: "The servant of the demon lord Lord Rogeros! Boy, don't you know that killing in the enchantment is forbidden in this tempering place? ?"
"Lord Edrah, I don't know!" Roy replied: "They attacked me, I can't stand and let them attack, right?"
"Hmph, I'm not interested in hearing this kind of debate about who's right and who's right!" Idrach said: "For thousands of years, there have been many demons in the enchantment of the tempered land, unable to hold back their slaughtering instincts and killing them. If I take care of other demons, if I listen to every one of their reasons for their actions, I won’t die of exhaustion? If I do, I will do it, and I never care who is right or wrong!

"Okay!" Roy hissed softly and asked, "Then, Lord Edrah, are you here to kill me for breaking the rules?"
While saying this, Roy prepared to use the flashing skill.
However, what I didn't expect was that Idrach laughed and said, "Kill you? Why?"
"Huh? Don't you mean I broke the rules?" Roy said with some doubts.
"Hmph, in the pond in this tempering place, there is the demon blood of Lord Rogeros, and the rules here are also set by the Lord!" Edrah said: "You are indeed breaking the rules of the Lord. The rules! However, chaos and killing are the rules of the demon world, so I can't say that you are completely wrong!"
"What does this mean?" Roy was a little confused, what did Edrah want to express?
"Damn, you guys who have just been promoted from the lower demons are trouble!" Edrah's voice sounded impatient, and said: "Listen, I will only say it once! Don't you understand? After becoming a mid-rank demon, you should also have the status you deserve! Unlike those lower-rank demons like ants, after knowing how to use magic power, you have also become a qualified warrior! So in certain things, You can also get the chance you deserve!"
"Murdering in the enchantment of the tempered land is indeed not allowed, because if all demons do this, the number of median demons will be greatly reduced!" Edrah continued: "But the demons The nature of killing is like this, so even the demon lord can't blame it, since you survived the siege, it means that you are the most powerful one in the enchantment at that time, and the warriors deserve due praise!"
This time, Roy really understood.
Warriors should be praised, then in turn, weakness is the greatest original sin! The meaning is obvious. Although Roy broke the rules, does Edrah still seek justice for those poor worms who were killed?
Impossible, the devil does not have any mercy, and it is impossible to sympathize with the weak.
From the perspective of the ruling class, although Roy is indeed breaking the rules, they prefer this kind of bravery that stands out! Because this means that another powerful demon warrior was born.
At this moment, Roy finally realized the changes brought about by the promotion. In this abyss world, there are no lower demons... Well, the power of the devil, the ruler's vision can't even reach the lower demons, but once he reaches the middle Once you become a demon, you will immediately get the attention it deserves.
This is a very obvious class discrimination. The more powerful the demon is, the more power it has to make mistakes and break the rules. Even as long as your power is strong enough, you can also set the rules in reverse!
Roy felt that he really couldn't measure the devil's attitude towards certain things with his own human thinking...
"I understand!" Roy nodded and said, "Lord Edrah, thank you for your attention!"
"Well, it's good to understand, it seems that you are not stupid either!" Adler's voice sounded very satisfied, and the smarter demon saved him the trouble of talking and said: "The warrior should get the power he deserves. , but this kind of behavior is not worth advocating after all, so you should still be punished. Lord Rogeros has no time to pay attention to these small things. I will announce the punishment decision for you: you must perform a punishment task. !"
"Execution mission?"
"Yes! The execution mission, but the target of this execution is not you, but you are the executioner! Go and kill the target set by Lord Rogeros!" Edrah said: "The mission is difficult. Because of this kind of goal, the strength is often higher than your own. If you can successfully complete the execution, then after returning, Lord Rogeros will give you the reward you deserve..."
"Then, if I can't kill the target, but I am killed by the target, it will be my punishment for breaking the rules, right?" Roy knew it.
"That's right!" Edrah said: "The execution or the execution depends on whether your strength is really strong. I hope you will not be a demon who only knows how to bully the weak..."
When Edrah was talking, a black ball of light also appeared in front of Roy. In the ball of light, a crystal the size of a thumb was wrapped, and the crystal was suspended in front of Roy, Edrah said. : "This is a memory crystal. It has the information of your execution mission target. You can read it after you input magic power. Remember, you only have one year to complete this execution mission... After the mission is completed, you will be able to read it. Come and find me here!"
After that, the power of Adrah's will gradually dissipated on the gate of evil spirits, and the scarlet eyes of the gate of evil spirits gradually dimmed.
Roy didn't touch the memory crystal for the first time, but swayed his tail lightly in place and thought.
He also didn't expect that after he was promoted to the median demon, he would encounter such a thing, and Roy found some information sensitively from Edrah's words.
The demon lord, that is higher than the existence of the upper demons. This tempering place seems to be built with the blood of the demon lord. It is different from the shallow abyss world's laissez-faire attitude towards the lower demons. These demon rulers seem to be conscious. The ground has done some management on the middle-level abyss world, but after all, this is not the world where the upper demons and demon lords live, so they can only execute their will through the way of this kind of power.
Roy first entered this middle-level abyss world. He was ignorant. It was true that he broke the rules set by the demon lord, but in the eyes of the ruling class, it was still within the tolerable range. After all, the demon who set up the tempering place The lord specially made a barrier. After the pool contained the soul, he immediately repelled the demons in the barrier. This shows that they had already expected such a situation to happen, so they just punished him.
Of course, rules are indeed divided into tolerable and intolerable. If Roy started killing in the place where the little devil was born on the surface, he would definitely be killed, and it would not be tolerated at all.
Rather than calling it punishment, it's more of an opportunity, because this mission is to let Roy hunt down other demons as a demon of execution, not other demons to hunt him down, and he didn't even sign a contract with Roy. Devil contract, time is also very loose.
If the task can be completed, there are rewards. This mode is like a mercenary accepting a task. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be giving Roy a chance to train.
Hmm... I can't say it's only for Roy. Listening to Edrah's words, many demons have broken the rules in the tempering place before, so this way of dealing with Roy may also be implemented on other demons. pass.
In this situation, coupled with the word "warrior" revealed in the words of Edrah, Roy couldn't help thinking, maybe this is because the demon lord is cultivating his army.
The so-called lords refer to those who have their own jurisdiction, and generally speaking, there cannot be only one lord. Even human lords and lords will fight each other, let alone between demon lords, so Roy I feel that this middle-level abyss world is actually the origin of the soldiers of the demon lords!
Chaos, slaughter, war... Tsk, such a world melody is really annoying, don't these demons get bored?
Shaking his head, Roy took the memory crystal floating in front of him, entered the magic power, and planned to check what kind of mission goal he had given him...
