At this point, there was a brief pause, and the scene fell into a mysterious silence.
Araniya looked at Roy nervously. In fact, when she mentioned Lolth, the Spider Queen of the arachne race, in addition to explaining the problem of her inheritance, she also had the intention of intimidating him.
This was the rule of the Abyss. When a demon was defeated and fell into the hands of another demon, the outcome was often predictable. Ninety percent of the time, there was only death. Of course, Araniya knew this, but she did not want to die and wanted to struggle. Although this frost demon in front of her seemed to know her, Araniya did not feel glad because of this' acquaintance '. On the contrary, she became more and more terrified.
Because … demons did not have friends! The so-called familiarity could only mean one thing, and that was an enemy!
Either the other party had hunted her, or she had hunted the other party. Araniya thought for a long time and found that she had no memory of being hunted by a frost demon, so there was only one possibility — she had hunted the other party before!
Thinking of this, Araniya began to tremble all over. When promoting to middle-rank demon, many demons would change their forms due to bloodline awakening, and this was what she was most afraid of: a prey that had escaped from her hunt not only came to seek revenge after changing its appearance but also surpassed her, the original hunter!
Araniya had no choice but to use the name of Spider Queen Lolth. In fact, she had nothing to do with Spider Queen Lolth at all. She did not become a subordinate of Spider Queen Lolth. Even if the spider demon bloodline in her was a descendant of Lolth, she did not know how many generations of descendants she had, and there was not much of a relationship at all … She only hoped that she could use a demon king-level existence like Lolth to intimidate this frost demon in front of her so that he would not dare to kill her.
This was the same as other demons claiming that they were subordinates of certain demon kings.
If she wanted to save her life, she would definitely have to pay a price, but as long as she was not killed, she would even sign a master-servant contract …
However, what Araniya did not expect was that in the next moment, an invisible force suddenly grabbed her by the throat!
Her huge spider body, which weighed more than a ton, was lifted up by this invisible force and suspended in the air. Araniya, who had no leverage, struggled desperately with her eight spider legs. Her throat was strangled, and she was dizzy because she could not breathe.
Needless to say, it was Roy who grabbed her in the air!
"No … No!" Araniya screamed and said with all her might, "Don't kill me!"
Roy sneered at her. "Are you trying to say that if I kill you, I'll leave behind a spider demon curse or something, and Spider Queen Lolth will kill me when she meets me in the future?"
Araniya was shocked when she heard this. She knew that Roy had seen through her trick.
Sure enough, Roy snorted. "Sorry, I've actually killed several spider demons in this middle Abyss, but I've never felt any curse fall on me …"
Araniya did not give up and continued to beg for mercy. "Leaving me behind might be useful to you …" Araniya did not give up and continued to beg for mercy. "Leaving me behind might be useful to you …"
However, Roy was unmoved and continued to tighten the power of Psychokinesis bit by bit.
In the Abyss, Roy had long discovered one thing, and that was not to easily believe the words of a demon, especially a clever and cunning demon! Because a living example was right in front of him. Back then, the illusion demon César had dared to betray a demon lord and even dared to steal the demon lord's things and hide in other worlds.
Even a powerful existence like a demon lord would encounter the betrayal of a demon, let alone a middle-rank demon like Roy. The difference in rank between Araniya and him was not big, so Roy could not trust her at all and could not use her.
Even if he signed a contract, Roy would not do it. Demons were experts at playing with contracts, and he knew that there would always be loopholes in contracts. Roy had too many secrets, and leaving Araniya behind was tantamount to a time bomb. It would not be good if he was bitten back one day.
Also, even if Roy kept her as a subordinate, it would not be of much use. She could not even defeat Fat Tiger, so she could only be used as cannon fodder at most. What was the point of having her? Even she said that it was quite difficult for the spider demons to advance. If Roy accepted her as a subordinate, could it be that he had to support her in turn?
The only thing on Araniya that was worth Roy's attention was the inherited memories of the spider demons!
Because of the strong bloodline of the spider demons, the continuation of their bloodline was relatively stable. This might be why their inherited memories were relatively complete. This kind of memory inheritance that contained the experience of their ancestors and their understanding of the Abyss was the most useful thing to Roy.
Roy had been thinking about this matter for a short while just now.
When he was chatting with Araniya and asked about the Demon Bible, he was actually wondering if he should ask about the Chosen One of the Abyss. But after thinking about it, he gave up because he felt that this talent of his was a little strange, and perhaps it was not suitable for other demons to know about it.
But just because he could not ask did not mean that he could not learn about it from the inherited memories of other demons …
Inherited memories were engraved in the depths of a demon's soul. Since Roy wanted Araniya's complete inherited memories, he had to obtain Araniya's soul first!
When Roy was still a little demon, Araniya had chased him all the way and almost killed him. At that time, Roy had sworn to go back and take revenge. Now that he had met her here, he could settle old and new grudges together …
Araniya did not kill him. She saw the strong killing intent in Roy's eyes and immediately knew that Roy had made up his mind. No matter how much she begged, it would be useless, so she gritted her teeth and fought back.
Her suspended abdomen suddenly bent and fired several spiderwebs at Roy.
However, this struggle was destined to be futile. When the spiderwebs were about to wrap around Roy, he suddenly disappeared.
Activating Flash, Roy easily appeared next to Araniya, but the Psychokinesis acting on Araniya did not stop because of this.
Finding that the spiderwebs did not work, Araniya used all her strength to chant a short incantation hoarsely and cast a Blindness Curse on Roy.
This curse worked, causing Roy's vision to suddenly turn dark, and he could not see anything. However, demons were of the dark attribute and were naturally resistant to curses. If Araniya was stronger than Roy, the curse might have lasted a while longer, just like the Weakness Curse that Xeron had cast on Roy … Unfortunately, Araniya was weaker than Roy, so the Blindness Curse only lasted for less than three seconds before it failed.
The blindness lasted only for a short time, but it still stunned Roy for a moment. This gave Araniya the opportunity to break free from the control of Roy's Psychokinesis. She was smart. After breaking free, she immediately fired a spiderweb at Fat Tiger beside her and then quickly ran away.
She stopped Fat Tiger for a while, and Roy was also delayed by the Blindness Curse. By the time he came back to his senses, Araniya had already run dozens of meters away.
If Araniya had more time, she might have really been able to escape. However, a distance of dozens of meters was clearly not enough. A frost slash flew from behind and landed at her feet. After the explosion, the powerful frost power instantly froze all eight of her legs!
Seeing that Araniya could not move, Roy slowly flew over, took out Frostmourne, and cut off her head.
Araniya's head flew in the air, but she still had a little consciousness. When her eyes caught sight of Roy's pair of demon wings, she suddenly remembered who Roy was!
"It's … it's you!" Araniya's head fell to the ground, her eyes filled with disbelief as she said the last words of her life.
"It seems like you remember!" Roy replied mockingly, but Araniya could no longer hear him. Her huge tank-like body fell to the ground with a loud bang. After a tremor, a soul slowly floated out of her body.
Roy reached out and grabbed Araniya's soul.
"It seems like I have to design a memory reading skill!" Roy looked at this soul and muttered to himself. Then he looked at the corpse left behind by Araniya and turned to ask Fat Tiger, "Do you want to eat it?"
Fat Tiger's three heads shook in unison and barked at Roy.
"There's poison in her body. Is it bad to eat? No wonder there's a fishy smell … "After hearing this, Roy did not force Fat Tiger to be picky about food. He only got him to drag Araniya's corpse and throw it further away while he returned to his lair.
Araniya's soul was just an ordinary soul, and there was nothing special about it.
The souls of demons seemed to be ordinary when they were low-rank and middle-rank. Only when they became high-rank demons would there be some changes. When Xeron was killed and expelled by the dragons, Roy had seen his soul exposed. That soul was very different, and he did not know what it belonged to in the system's definition.
Holding Araniya's soul, Roy spent three high-quality fallen souls (from slave traders) to create a 'Soul Memory Reading' skill.
'Soul Memory Reading': Consume magic power to read all the memories contained in the soul.
This skill was very simple to create and did not require any special effects. It was just a simple definition, but perhaps because it involved souls, it consumed more fallen souls to create it. Moreover, it consumed a lot of Roy's magic power to read it.
Holding Araniya's soul, Roy cast a skill on the soul and began to search for the memories of the Chosen of the Abyss in the soul's inheritance of memories …
