Roy had some guesses about the situation in the lower Abyss before entering, but when he really arrived here, he found that it was different from what he had imagined.
The same heat, the same ash-like world, but in this lower Abyss, there were many artificial buildings!
As soon as Roy and Julia entered, they saw an enormous castle in the distance. However, these castles were all in the style of demons, pitch-black and crimson, and their styles were all dark streams that were close to ferocious and terrifying.
The lower Abyss was as vast as the lower Abyss, and the space here was much larger, not as oppressive as the middle Abyss. Roy and Julia randomly chose a direction and flew for two to three hundred kilometers, but they saw four to five demon castles along the way.
One of the demon castles happened to be on Roy and Julia's flight path. When they were about to approach, a demon flew out of this demon castle and welcomed them.
Roy and Julia saw the two pairs of wings on the demon's back from afar and realized that he was a high-rank demon, so they stopped temporarily and floated in the air to see what he was going to do.
After the four-winged demon flew over, he stopped tens of meters away from Roy and Julia. After sizing them up, he laughed sinisterly. "A demon and a fallen angel. Such a combination is really rare … But the two of you, this demon castle already has a master. It's my territory. If you want to find a place to stay, it's best to look elsewhere!"
"Huh?" Roy heard the implication in these words and said, "Can these demon castles be occupied at will?"
Hearing Roy's question, the demon opposite him was stunned for a moment before laughing. "Newcomer? No wonder. It seems like you still don't understand the situation of this high-rank demon world. In this lower Abyss, there are many demon castles like this, and they were all built by high-rank demons who entered here for generations. If you want, you can find a demon castle without a master and stay there. Of course, if you don't like the style of these castles, you can also build one yourself. Anyway, you're a high-rank demon, so creating things shouldn't be a problem. "
"There's another way. Chase away the original master of the demon castle and live there, right?" Roy asked.
"That's right!" The demon laughed and said, "There are also many demons who like to do this because to them, stealing from others is the best. But if you want to do this, it depends on your own strength!"
There was a faint threat in this four-winged demon's words. It seemed like he was a little afraid that Roy and Julia would snatch his demon castle. After all, Roy and Julia were two high-rank demons, and he was alone. He had not joined any demon lord yet, so he did not have any backing behind him. If Roy and Julia really snatched his demon castle, he would most likely be chased away. Therefore, although he seemed to be introducing the situation of the lower Abyss to Roy and Julia, he was actually trying to get them to leave as soon as possible.
After hearing his words, Roy could not help but snort coldly and release his magic power pressure!
When magic power flowed out of Roy's heart and filled the magic power nodes all over his body, the distorted scene appeared in the surrounding air again. Countless fine black electric arcs lingered on the surface of Roy's body, sizzling.
"Is this strength enough?" Roy asked the demon.
"Yes … Yes!" After sensing the strength of Roy's magic power pressure, cold sweat broke out on the demon's forehead. He thought that Roy and Julia were just high-rank demons who had just promoted and thought that they would not be too strong. But after Roy's magic power pressure appeared, he knew that he had misjudged. Damn it! How is this a newly promoted high-rank demon?
Low-rank demons and middle-rank demons could clearly feel the completely different magic power nature of high-rank demons from them. But it was a little difficult to judge the strength between high-rank demons because everyone's magic power nature was the same. Usually, no one would always maintain a combat state full of magic power. Between people of the same level, sometimes it was not possible to tell who was stronger without fighting.
Although Roy's strength had skyrocketed after fusing with the power of the Fusion technique, and it was not a problem for him to fight ten ordinary high-rank demons in one go, he had yet to completely become a demon lord, and his rank was still at the high-rank demon level. Therefore, as long as he restrained his magic power, it would often cause other high-rank demons to misjudge his strength.
Of course, Roy did not have any intention of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. The conflict of interest between high-rank demons and high-rank demons was much less. Back in the Darksiders world, Roy had also cooperated with other high-rank demons. Moreover, he had no intention of snatching the castle of this demon in front of him, so he simply displayed his strength to make the other party restrain his tone.
As expected, after Roy withdrew his magic power pressure, the high-rank demon opposite him became much more respectful. Demons spoke with strength, and the strong could win the respect of other demons no matter where they went.
"My name is Lombarge!" The demon thumped his chest and introduced himself. "May I know your name?"
"My name is Osiris!" Roy nodded and introduced himself.
"You're very strong. I can't imagine that this is your first time in the lower Abyss!" Lombarge said solemnly. "I take back my offending words. If you want my castle, then I'll give it to you without saying a word. But to be honest, a powerful high-rank demon like you might need a bigger castle to match your status!"
"Is there a difference in status between high-rank demons in the lower Abyss?" Roy asked.
"Of course, the difference in status is mainly reflected in the place of residence!" Lombarge said. "Demons have always been like this. Only the strongest can have the largest demon castle! This is a manifestation of one's status. The bigger the Evil Demon city, the larger the territory and the more resources they have. "
"Oh? Is that so? " Roy immediately became interested. "Then, where is the largest demon castle in the lower Abyss?"
However, what Roy did not expect was that Lombarge shook his head. "There are several largest demon castles. Of course, I know where they are, but I don't recommend you snatch them because the high-rank demons living there are all followers of powerful demon lords without exception. The demon castles they live in also need to serve demon lords. If you snatch their demon castles, you have to consider whether you will anger the demon lords behind them."
"I see …" Roy nodded thoughtfully.
Since that was the case, Roy simply stopped asking and flew away with Julia and Fat Tiger. He had already decided not to consider the scale and just find a demon castle that looked pleasing to the eye. He would first figure out the situation in the lower Abyss. After all, he estimated that he could not stay here for long because he might become a demon lord soon.
Seeing Roy fly away, Lombarge heaved a sigh of relief. The magic power pressure that Roy had released just now had placed immense pressure on him. It was unwise to become enemies with such a powerful high-rank demon. Fortunately, the other party did not seem to fancy his demon castle.
"But … why does the name Osiris sound so familiar?" Lombarge scratched his chin with his sharp nails and frowned as he pondered. I seem to have heard this name somewhere …
After thinking for a while, Lombarge suddenly remembered!
"Damn it. Didn't that guy Xeron keep asking about this name some time ago?" Lombarge said in surprise. "He also informed many high-rank demons to bring the soul of a demon with this name when they encounter it … But Xeron said that it was only a low-rank demon. Did that guy make a mistake? Or is it just a duplicate name? "
"Forget it. I don't care. Anyway, Xeron doesn't have any friendship with me!" After thinking for a long time, Lombarge turned around and returned to his demon castle …
