Seeing that the old demon was very cooperative, Roy was very satisfied and asked, "What … is your name?"
After asking the first question, Roy found that the old demon was a little hesitant, so he said, "I'm not asking for your true demon name!"
Upon hearing this, the old demon heaved a sigh of relief and replied, "Jascalos! You can call me Jascalos! "
"Okay, Jascalos!" Roy nodded and pointed to the magic formation on the altar. "What's going on here? Is this altar and magic formation a teleportation formation? Who built it? "
"This is called the Gate of the Abyss!" Jascalos replied. "You haven't been summoned yet, right? That's what we demons call the teleportation gate for generations. As for who built this altar, I don't know. In fact, these Gates of the Abyss have existed for tens of thousands of years. I've only heard that they might have been built by the great demon kings living at the bottom of the Abyss! "
Even an old demon like Jascalos who had lived for who knew how long did not know who built this altar. Roy could only give up on asking and asked, "Where does the Gate of the Abyss connect to? Is it another world? Is there only one such world, or are there many? "
"Many!" Jascalos replied while stuffing his exposed internal organs into his stomach. "I've been summoned eight times, and almost every time it's a new world. The Gate of the Abyss is said to be connected to all worlds. As long as a world knows how to use magic power, it's possible to connect to the Gate of the Abyss."
"Oh, you know about magic power?" Roy suddenly became interested. "So, you know how to use magic?"
However, Jascalos shook his huge head and said, "No, it's not necessary! Low-rank demons can't convert magic power into magic. If I knew how to use magic, I wouldn't have been beaten so badly! "
"Why can't low-rank demons use magic?" Roy asked, puzzled.
"Bloodline!" Jascalos explained, "The bloodline of low-rank demons is too complicated, and magic power is accumulated through the bloodline and stored in the demon heart. When the bloodline is too complicated, it cannot be output, so magic cannot be released. They can only complete their promotion and grow into middle-rank demons before they can enter the lower levels of the Abyss and find a place to temper their bloodline. Only then can they build a channel for magic power output …"
After saying that, Jascalos looked at Roy strangely. "These are the inherited memories I obtained from the demon's eggshell when I hatched. Why don't you know? Why are you asking me?"
Roy was dumbfounded. Were there these memories in the eggshell? Why didn't I know?
Could it be due to premature birth again?!
"My inherited memories are missing!" Roy could only say, "Tell me, how can I complete the promotion?"
Jascalos did not answer him but looked at the demon wings behind Roy with a strange smile. Roy did not know what he was thinking, but it was probably not something good because his expression looked like he was gloating. Roy could not help but say coldly, "You can choose not to answer, but I can kill you and then find other low-rank demons to ask!"
"There are no standards for promotion!" Jascalos said. "Keep hunting and plundering souls. But in fact, most low-rank demons can't complete this promotion in their lifetime, so I can't tell you how to promote!"
Roy felt that he had asked for nothing. If this old demon knew how to promote, he would have become a middle-rank demon long ago …
"Okay, let's change the question!" Roy said. "What did you encounter when you were summoned? How did you get beaten up like this? "
When Jascalos heard this question, a trace of fear appeared on his face. "I was expelled! The one who summoned me was a demon wizard, but I didn't expect him to summon me to fight a powerful paladin. He left me to fight the paladin and ran away. After fighting for a while, I was killed and expelled by the paladin! "
"Killed?" Roy could not help but look at the huge wound on Jascalos' abdomen. "Aren't you still alive?"
"That's because of the protection of the Ouroboros Mark!" "Under the protection of the Ouroboros Mark, the souls of demons summoned to other worlds are immortal. They will be expelled back the moment they are killed. At most, their souls and bodies will be severely damaged …" Jascalos grumpily said.
Roy finally understood. It was no wonder that all the summoned demons had returned during this period of time, even those with missing arms and legs. None of the demons had really died in the alternate world. He did not expect it to be caused by the Ouroboros pattern in the magic formation.
However, this was probably because the paladin who fought with Jascalos did not know Jascalos's true demon name. If he had known his true demon name, Jascalos would not have been able to escape! Even with the protection of the Ouroboros Mark, he would still be dead!
After learning this news, Roy was finally relieved. It seemed that although it was dangerous to be summoned, and he might encounter natural enemies such as paladins and exorcists, he would not truly die as long as he protected his true demon name from being known.
At this time, Jascalos struggled to stand up and said, "Are you done with your questions? I'm leaving! "
Although he was not dead, Jascalos was not in a good state at this time. It took him a lot of effort to stuff his internal organs back, but he also needed time to recuperate. With the powerful vitality of demons, he could still recover as long as he had enough time. Coupled with the cunning and suspicious nature of demons, he really did not dare to stay with Roy for too long, so he could not wait to leave this place.
Now that he had stood up again, he was naturally condescending. This kind of overlooking gave him some confidence, which was why he had answered Roy's questions so cooperatively. He was just buying time for himself to recover. Now that he had regained his mobility, his tone became tougher when facing Roy, a demon with a huge difference in size.
Relying on strength and bullying the weak. Demons were such creatures …
"One last question. Where's the offering you got? It's that high-level soul! "Roy asked, looking up.
"I've already devoured it!" Jascalos sneered. "Which demon would store such a delicacy after obtaining it?"
Although Roy had expected this, he still felt a little regretful. Even though he had only smelled it and not seen it, it was his first time encountering a high-level soul …
He shook his head regretfully. "Is that so? Forget it. Since that's the case, leave your soul behind! "
"Wh-what?"
Before Jascalos could react, Roy suddenly exploded on the spot! He spread his demon wings and soared into the sky, heading straight for Jascalos' throat!
In the blink of an eye, Roy flew to Jascalos' throat and swung his right hand!
Jascalos's throat was originally protected by horny scales, but under Roy's claws, it was easily torn open! The four claw marks were so deep that a large amount of blood gushed out from Jascalos' throat in an instant, gushing out like a faucet that had been turned on!
"Roar!!!" Jascalos roared and stretched out his giant palm to grab Roy, who was in the air. However, Roy turned around, avoided his palm, and rushed to his head again, landing lightly on his forehead, which only had one horn left!
The next second, Roy's tail pierced directly into Jascalos' right eye socket …
Blood spurted out, and Roy's tail caught one of Jascalos' eyeballs and pulled it out. Before Jascalos could counterattack, Roy flapped his wings and flew high into the sky!
Jascalos slapped, but he did not hit Roy. Instead, his head became dizzy, and the intense pain in his eye socket went straight to his brain, making him roar in agony.
If he still had his hammer, he might have been able to fly over and hit Roy, but now he had no way to deal with Roy in the sky. He was already seriously injured, and at this moment, his eye socket and throat lost a lot of blood. After a while, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground again.
Seeing Jascalos twitching on the ground, Roy did not land. He was afraid that Jascalos would play dead, so he waited until his soul appeared and confirmed his death before landing.
Roy could not help but sigh as he held Jascalos' soul in his hand. Sure enough, it was still an incomplete low-quality soul, and it was not big. It was really missing a part.
