A demon's sense of smell was special!
Only they could smell the aura of souls from afar. But because they could only smell low-quality souls, demons would sometimes be too lazy to rush over when they smelled it because they knew very well that it was the spoils of war of other demons. It was too far away, and it would be gone even if they rushed over.
But it was different now. A soul that could emit such a strong fragrance must be a high-quality soul. This was definitely a rare treasure in the upper level of the Abyss. After smelling the fragrance, hundreds of demons rushed over!
Driven by such a rich soul smell, many demons actually came involuntarily. They were simply attracted by the fragrance, but they did not know how these souls appeared.
When Roy rushed over, he found that the fragrance was coming from the crater of an extinct volcano.
There were many volcanoes like this in the upper level of the Abyss, but most of them were active and flowing magma at any time. It was precisely because of the existence of these volcanoes that the Abyss Demon World formed a world where lava and flames coexisted.
Similarly, there were also some extinct volcanoes. It was just that there were very few of them. Now, hundreds of demons of all kinds were rushing into the interior of this extinct volcano, and there were even more rushing over.
When Roy swooped down from the sky and entered the volcano, he found that there was already a fight! And the fight was quite fierce!
The Abyss Devils who had arrived first revealed their most ferocious faces and were fighting each other, but their battlefield was tacitly surrounding … an altar!
Roy was shocked because the moment he saw this altar, he confirmed that it was an artificial building. This was something he had never seen in the upper level of the Abyss!
One could not expect the low-rank demons here to build houses. In fact, due to the chaotic bloodlines, most low-rank demons could not even be classified. Names such as flame demon, succubus, shadow demon, and so on could not be applied to them at all. Even Roy himself could not confirm what kind of demon he was. Many low-rank demons only lived muddleheaded lives and simply lived for survival. They did not even know how to make simple tools and weapons, so how could they build buildings?
Therefore, when Roy saw this altar, he felt that it was definitely not made by the low-rank demons here!
However, the Demon World was not a place where humans could survive, so who built this altar? Could it have been left behind by higher ranked demons?
The altar looked very large. In addition to its height, the platform at the top was the size of a basketball court. On the circular platform, a huge magic formation was engraved. In the middle of the magic formation was a regular six-pointed star pattern. In the middle of the six-pointed star was a strange painting that looked like an Ouroboros biting its own tail. The outermost circle of the magic formation was full of indecipherable words. Roy could not recognize them, but his intuition told him that they might be demon characters.
Now, the magic formation was emitting a faint light, and the indecipherable demon characters and patterns were flashing rhythmically and emitting a faint buzzing sound, seemingly activated.
The fragrance of the soul came from this magic formation, but strangely, he did not see the high-quality soul. The magic formation was empty.
What was going on? The soul hasn't appeared yet? But it hasn't appeared yet, so how can there be a fragrance?
Looking at the demons below killing as though they had lost their minds, Roy knew that they might be fighting for the ownership of the high-level soul that was about to appear. Although Roy's mouth was full of saliva as he smelled the fragrance of the soul, he did not join the battle. Instead, he floated in the air and only observed.
Because he had not figured out what this altar was for, he would not act rashly before he figured it out.
He even stayed a little further away to prevent the demons who had lost their heads from fighting him …
It was not an exaggeration to describe the situation below as a river of blood. As the battle continued, demons kept dying here. Purple demon blood flowed out of their corpses and gathered together, looking very enchanting. After devouring the souls of their opponents, the demons who survived the battle could not wait to enter the next battle.
In this battle, a ferocious demon was the most eye-catching!
It was a powerful demon that was eight meters tall. He had the largest body among the demons present. He had four legs and a long tail. His entire body was covered in thick horny scales, making him look like a pangolin. His upper body was also humanoid, but just by looking at the curved and long demon horns on his head, Roy knew that this demon had probably lived in the upper level of the Abyss for decades!
Demon horns often had rings like growth rings, which was the main basis for judging the age of a demon. This old demon was simply invincible among the demons, but most importantly, he was holding a weapon in his hand. It was a huge stone hammer. The craftsmanship was very rough, but it looked very ferocious and bloody because it was stained with demon blood. Moreover, this old demon seemed to have integrated his soul fragments into the weapon, causing this terrifying hammer to glow with a black light and have a hardness far beyond imagination.
Roy weighed it and found that even he could not defeat this old demon, so he was even more unwilling to get involved.
Brandishing this large stone hammer, the old demon slaughtered everywhere. Not long after, he stood out in this chaotic battle and became the final victor.
He let out a loud roar and glared at the remaining demons around him. Although these remaining demons were unwilling, they began to slowly retreat, acknowledging the old demon's identity as the victor.
This scene was very similar to what happened at the hatching place … The Demon World was like this. When you had more power than other demons, they would recognize your position.
"It's coming!" Roy watched the old demon turn around and walk to the altar with heavy steps. He immediately stared intently, wanting to see what would happen.
In the end, the scene that followed almost made Roy think that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
When the old demon walked to the altar, the high-quality soul that Roy imagined did not appear! Instead, a black spot of light appeared on the altar. With the appearance of this black spot of light, the entire magic formation began to shine brightly. The black spot of light in the formation slowly expanded, forming a circular black fog that wrapped around the old demon. After coming into contact with this fog, the old demon's body began to turn illusory little by little.
Finally, the old demon's entire body suddenly disappeared, and the light of the magic formation dimmed.
F * ck, he really disappeared! He was … teleported away?!
Roy looked at the altar in surprise. He felt that the black fog was like the legendary spatial gate or teleportation portal. Otherwise, he could not explain why the old demon disappeared completely.
The high-quality soul that he expected was not teleported, but the old demon who won was teleported away. Connecting the dots, a thought suddenly appeared in Roy's mind. That old demon was summoned!
That's right, summoned! This must be the case. Someone was using a special method to summon a demon from Hell. The other party's offering was a high-quality soul, and the demons were fighting each other for this offering! If the winner wanted to obtain this offering, he had to respond to the summon and enter the other world.
The function of this altar was obvious. It was a medium to communicate with other worlds and the Abyss of Hell!
Roy was excited. This was a huge discovery. No wonder there were always plots of summoning demons in the novels and movies he had read. It turned out that this was actually true!
What kind of world would it be if one was summoned? Was there only one such world? Two? Or many? Who was the person who summoned the demon? What did he intend to do by summoning the demon? Did the summoned demon need to sign a contract with the summoner?
Wait, wait, wait. Roy had too many questions, but this discovery was too wonderful for a Gemini like Roy. This meant that the boring and monotonous life in Hell had finally become interesting.
The remaining demons left one after another after the fragrance of the soul disappeared. The empty altar was no longer attractive to them, but Roy stayed. He wanted to wait for a while to see how often demons were summoned through the altar.
