Chapter 497: This Is A Little Awkward
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the dark, deep, and silent bottom of the Abyss, fragmented spaces moved irregularly in Brownian motion.
Only after entering these fragmented spaces would one know that there were different small worlds inside. Some of these small worlds were so tiny that they were only a few square meters of land, while some were so large that they could accommodate several cities.
These fragment worlds at the bottom of the Abyss were a world that only high-level demons lived in. Those who could come and go here were at least at the high-rank demon level. But high-rank demons could only be regarded as residents here, and the true rulers here were demon lords!
No one knew how many demon lords existed in these fragment worlds, but there was no doubt that every relatively large fragment world was the territory of a certain demon lord. The demon lords used their powerful strength to protect these fragment worlds, and at the same time, they fought openly and secretly for territories with other demon lords. The winner was stronger, and the loser died. The cruel rules of the Abyss were vividly displayed here. And this was the main melody of these fragment worlds for millions of years…
In recent years, there had been a piece of news circulating among the demons in the fragment worlds that a new frost demon lord had been born. This frost demon lord named Osiris had occupied an enormous snow and ice land in the fragment worlds as his territory and had won in disputes with other demon lords.
For some demons who had lived for a long time, this was probably the first time they had heard the news of a frost demon becoming a lord again in the past two thousand years. These ancient demons would even sigh secretly when they gathered in private and then playfully discussed why frost demons had not become extinct…
Why was there such a discussion? It was because the more well-informed demons knew that in recent years, a special and powerful demon faction had been capturing frost demons. As for what this demon faction wanted to do by capturing frost demons, they were actually not too sure. They only knew that the captured frost demons had never returned to the Abyss…
Therefore, in this case, this newly promoted frost demon lord seemed to be a little different and unique, so some demon lords were considering whether to find the location of this frost demon lord first. In their opinion, this frost demon lord would probably be captured by the demon faction soon. At that time, wouldn’t they be able to take over his territory smoothly?
As for whether those demons could really capture this frost demon lord, no one doubted it because those who had come into contact with these demons knew how terrifying the power behind these demons was…
Counting the time, it seemed that these demons would soon reappear in the
Abyss…
Frostfire City, Roy’s territory…
The surface world here was still howling with cold winds, and the extreme cold was unbearable even for demons, so there were almost no living creatures moving on the surface.
And in the depths of the surface, a fiery scene appeared out of the ordinary. A large number of demons were working here. Their bodies were hunched, and they used their sharp demon claws to dig through the soil layer to find pieces of fiery-red obsidian emitting high temperatures. After mining these pieces of obsidian, they piled the obsidian into the carts pulled by demon worms. The demon worms’ powerful bodies could even pull dozens of tons of ore at once. When the demon worms pulled these ores to the underground river flowing with lava, they would arch their bodies and pour the obsidian into the magma river.
The high temperature of the magma river could allow the ore to undergo initial refinement. The impurities and soil would melt in the river, and the pieces of flame obsidian that could withstand the high temperatures would emit an even stronger red light as they slowly moved forward under the flowing river. After arriving at the second location of the mine, flying fire demons would scoop up these pieces of flame obsidian and store them in the warehouse.
Such mining looked orderly, and it was impossible to tell that this was an ore mining base under the charge of demons. But this was the truth. After being ruled by high-level demons, the obedience of low-level demons was much higher than that of other creatures because they were already used to carrying out the orders of high-level demons…
Even during Roy’s absence, the mining work here remained completely unaffected and continued as before. But recently, the high-rank demons in charge of guarding the warehouse were a little worried because the flame obsidian they mined was about to fill up the warehouse, and the lord had yet to return. They did not know if they should continue to expand the warehouse or find a way to trade the flame obsidian…
Demons were good at fighting and war, but it was difficult for them to make deals. Among thousands of demons, there might not even be a handful who could count…
Just as the high-rank demons were thinking about it, the Gate of the Abyss in Frostfire City finally moved. The aura unique to the Gate of the Abyss was spreading, and the high-rank demons immediately realized that the Gate of the Abyss was opening. The lord must have returned!
Therefore, the high-rank demons in management immediately flew to the main castle to welcome the return of their Lord Osiris.
But when they rushed to the Gate of the Abyss, they found that the area opened by the Gate of the Abyss was unprecedentedly large! Just the height alone reached thousands of meters, and the area covered almost half of Frostfire City!
This massive Gate of the Abyss was something the high-rank demons had never seen before. They looked up at this ultra-sized Gate of the Abyss in astonishment and did not know what was going on.
But soon, figures appeared from the Gate of the Abyss one after another. The high-rank demons quickly recognized the two mistresses, Julia and Benia. Then the figure of Lich Cassandra and Lord Osiris’s foster son, Sareth, appeared behind them.
The lord had indeed returned. The high-rank demons regained their senses and hurriedly flew over to welcome him.
But Benia warned sternly, “Don’t come over. Everyone back off!”
Not only did the two mistresses warn them, but they were also quickly pulling away from the Gate of the Abyss with the people who came out one after another, as though something had happened to this immense Gate of the Abyss.
The high-rank demons could only follow quickly. When they flew to Julia and Benia, they found that there were some figures they did not recognize in the group that returned.
One of the female demons was flying in the air. Behind her were two enormous butterfly wings with phoenix tails, and blackish-purple powder kept falling along with her flying trajectory. Just the powder alone made the high-rank demons feel unbearable pain, showing that the powder was a highly toxic substance.
One of the other demons was a giant, majestic fire centaur. He had blazing wings behind him and a huge flame sword in his hand. This domineering inferno overlord was following behind Julia in a panic and quickly escaping from the range of the Gate of the Abyss.
In addition to these two demons, there were two other demons. Although they were smaller, they undoubtedly exuded powerful auras.
The high-rank demons of Frostfire City looked at these four demons in fear. They were not ignorant demons, and they could tell that behind Julia and Benia were four demon lords!
What happened? Why did Lord Osiris go to a certain world from the Gate of the Abyss and suddenly return with four demon lords?!
Fortunately, the high-rank demons were not stupid. Although they found it strange, they could still tell that the four additional demon lords were on their side, so they did not dare to say anything else and could only run blindly…
A group of people was flying in the air, and on the ground, Fat Tiger’s enormous body was running with all his might. Not far behind him was the three-headed hellhound Cerberus, who was one size smaller than him. Cerberus chased after Fat Tiger with all her might, and her three heads even leaned forward to smell Fat Tiger’s tail from time to time. Then all three dog faces revealed silly smiles…
Higher in the sky, Rafaro’s figure was flying. Compared to before he went to the Devil May Cry world, his body had grown bigger and longer. This was because Roy had taken out the soul of the centipede lord he had killed from Frostmourne and let Rafaro devour it. It could be said that Rafaro now had the same power as a demon lord.
The four demon lords under Roy, plus Rafaro, plus Junia, who was born after Julia and Benia’s fusion, meant that there were now six demon lords in Roy’s territory!
If Roy had not become a demon king, it would have been difficult for him to manage these demon lords…
After Julia, Benia, and the others escaped far away and stopped, they turned around with lingering fear and looked at the extraordinary Gate of the Abyss that appeared in Frostfire City.
“How could this happen?” Julia said frantically. “The Gate of the Abyss has already expanded to this extent, so why is Osiris still stuck?!”
“It can’t be helped. He is currently too strong…” Benia said helplessly and proudly.
Yes, no one would have thought that the first problem Roy encountered after returning to the Abyss was that he was stuck in the Gate of the Abyss…
This was a little awkward..
