In fact, Roy chose to kill Jascalos because he wanted to verify whether Jascalos's soul had grown stronger after devouring a high-quality soul.
The reason he wanted to verify this was that Jascalos had said that if he wanted to go to the lower levels of the Abyss to find a place of refinement, he had to promote to middle-rank demon. Jascalos might know how to promote but chose to lie to Roy. Of course, it was also possible that he really did not know. But no matter what, Roy vaguely felt that the key to promotion was still related to devouring souls, and it was very likely to refer to the strengthening of the soul.
Only when the soul power of the soul had grown to a certain level could one become a middle-rank demon …
Unfortunately, Jascalos encountered a powerful enemy in the process of being summoned, so he was killed and expelled. Although he returned to the Abyss of the Demon World, his soul was damaged, and Roy could not tell whether his soul had become stronger or not. Thus, for the time being, there was no way to know whether the high-quality soul offering had brought Jascalos's soul to a higher level.
Roy did not know whether his guess was right or not, but he believed that there was definitely a reason why demons would tirelessly pursue souls, and it was not as simple as being addicted to delicious food.
Devouring souls could help demons accumulate magic power, and this benefit had been confirmed. During this time, Roy's magic energy attribute had returned to full value, and the 0.3 increase had not changed. This meant that the soul he devoured previously had indeed increased his upper limit.
According to the information in Jascalos's words, the demon's heart was the storage of magic power. This also explained why when Roy devoured souls, he felt a warm current flowing to the heart.
Jascalos said that the low-rank demons had complicated bloodlines, and their bodies seemed to be unable to construct a magic power output circuit, causing low-rank demons to be unable to use magic power. This did not apply to Roy because he had already confirmed that he could use Psychokinesis by consuming magic energy.
This made him understand one thing. In the system interface, the reason why his attributes were displayed as [magic energy] and not [magic power] was probably because he, an anomaly among demons, could use more than just magic!
Perhaps he could use superpowers, battle energy, spiritual power, and so on. Therefore, the 'magic energy' in his attributes was actually just a general term that referred to the source of all supernatural energy. This was actually different from the magic power that demons needed to use demonic spells!
After figuring this out, Roy immediately became interested. Right, since it's a customization system, doesn't it mean that I can customize my own magic and skills? Anyway, what is consumed in the end is Mana, and there is no need to consider whether Haki and Chakra are compatible!
Then, how should the skill be customized? Roy could not help but open the system interface and look at the [3D] and [AE] function tags. His intuition told him that these two functions might be the key to customizing skills, but unfortunately, these two function tags were currently dim, indicating that they could not be used for the time being.
This should be because I lack the conditions to use them? Roy unconsciously swayed his tail and thought. Judging from the fact that the system consumes souls for everything, the conditions to use these two functions should also be related to souls! Moreover, it might be a high-quality soul! Yes, a high-quality soul! "
Roy's spirit was immediately lifted. He had been wondering why there was a distinction between low-quality and high-quality souls since low-quality souls could also be used to modify his body in the system interface. Now, he finally understood that a high-quality soul was a high-level use in the system!
Therefore, Roy had a goal, and that was to obtain a high-quality soul to verify it.
Stretching out his claws, Roy grabbed Jascalos's corpse and dragged him down from the altar with some difficulty. Jascalos was huge, and it was impossible to let him occupy space on the altar. After clearing the altar, Roy began to wait.
From hatching until now, Roy had only captured some low-quality souls in the upper level of the Abyss. It seemed that there was little hope of obtaining a high-quality soul in the upper level of the Abyss. Even if there was a chance, it would probably be relatively low, so Roy simply set his sights on the other worlds connected to the Gates of the Abyss.
Roy did not wait too long. The magic formation on the altar glowed again and buzzed as it activated. In the void, the smell of blood began to waft out.
Hmm, very good! This meant that the summoner on the other side of the Gates of the Abyss was still using blood to lure and attract demons. This was good news for Roy.
To Roy, he did not want to barge into a powerful world and end up being killed and expelled like Jascalos. On the contrary, using blood to attract demons was the best choice. This was because the summoner on the other side was either a dabbler in a world where mysticism was not developed, or they did not have a high demand for the power of demons and only wanted to attract low-level demons to complete some small tasks.
No matter which one it was, it was a good choice for Roy, who was summoned for the first time.
But Roy still waited for a while. He wanted to judge the strength of the summoner's magic power based on the activation time of the magic formation.
As a result, while Roy was waiting, a little demon was attracted by the smell of blood. When this little demon climbed up the altar and saw Roy, a competitor waiting beside him, it did not know what gave it the courage to bare its teeth and threaten Roy!
Facing this reckless little demon, Roy simply slapped it! The little demon's head was smashed!
Roy picked up a low-level soul, put it away, and stepped into the magic formation. He saw that the light of the magic formation was about to disappear, and the summoner did not have enough magic power. Only then did he respond to the summon with relief.
The Gates of the Abyss opened, and fog shrouded Roy's body, giving him a very wonderful experience. In the Gates of the Abyss, endless darkness surrounded him, and only a ray of light came from above. That was the exit to another world, and Roy's body began to turn into nothingness.
His body seemed to turn into a ray of light and flew toward the exit above his head. When he arrived at the exit, the surroundings turned into a dazzling light, and his body began to reappear.
As the dazzling light dissipated, Roy found himself in a strange place, and there was a shout in his ears.
"Did … did it succeed?!"
"A demon appeared!"
"So … so scary! Get back! "
All kinds of voices came, making Roy irritated. He looked down and found himself in a magic formation. This magic formation was somewhat similar to the one on the altar in the Abyss of the Demon World, but it was engraved in the ground, and red blood flowed in these indentations. This blood was like ink, outlining the magic formation.
Around the magic formation were four human skulls with burning candles on them. In addition, there were several glass jars filled with internal organs between the skulls, and a rancid smell filled the air.
A group of people in black cloaks stood far away outside the magic formation, trembling in fear as they looked at Roy, who appeared in the magic formation. Looking at their panicked expressions, they probably could not believe that they had really summoned a demon …
Roy was feeling very bad now. During the summoning process, he felt that there seemed to be something extra in his soul, which seemed to be the Ouroboros Mark. But this mark, which was used to protect his soul from being destroyed, made him feel slightly dizzy. Now, this dizziness had not disappeared, and he smelled the disgusting rancid smell. Coupled with the chaotic voices of the people around him, it was very annoying.
Therefore, Roy could not help but open his mouth and let out a loud roar at these people!
