Although there were factional struggles among the demons of Ashan, it was not enough to implicate Roy at the moment.
Therefore, Grawl welcomed Roy's arrival. Most high-rank demons could communicate equally with high-rank demons, especially before their respective interests were harmed.
Along the way, Grawl had been chatting with Roy. After discovering that no dark elves were harassing them, Grawl clicked his tongue in wonder and asked Roy what method he had used to deal with these annoying assassins.
When he communicated with Roy, his tone was very respectful. He was a typical war demon, the kind who relied on his muscles to make a living. But during the conversation, Roy found that this guy was not a brute. He had been secretly inquiring about Roy's origins.
Roy still used the same excuse, saying that he had been sealed back then. This time, he used Rafaro's identity and said that the period when he was sealed was around the time of the Elder Wars.
This excuse stunned Grawl. If it was really the time of the Elder Wars, then a long time had passed since then.
This made Grawl feel relieved. It was normal for him not to have heard of Roy's name since it was too long ago.
Similarly, Roy had been trying to figure out what the sacrificial ritual that Grawl was talking about was about, but it seemed like Grawl was not too clear. He was just an ordinary high-rank demon hero. He roughly knew a little about the situation, but not much, so he could not say anything. In addition, this guy still had some sense of confidentiality, so Roy could not find out anything from him.
Under Grawl's lead, Roy and the others did not go to the city where Grawl was but went deeper into Eeofol toward Ur-Hekal. Due to the detonation of a large number of volcanoes to build the city, the environment in Eeofol was severely damaged. Black paste left behind by flowing magma could be seen everywhere on the ground, and the air was full of the pungent smell of sulfur and high temperature. In such an environment, it was very difficult for creatures of other races to survive. Most of the monsters that appeared here were mutated monsters.
This environment was also one of the reasons why the other races could not capture Eeofol. Even though they knew that the demons had established a country on the ground and that they were a huge hidden danger, the various races were not united, so they could only restrict the demons and not truly eliminate them.
After traveling for about a week, Grawl was no longer worried about the attacks of the dark elven assassins because even without Roy's T-Virus causing trouble for the dark elves of the Shadowbrand clan, it would probably be very difficult for them to go too deep into this land.
During this period, Grawl spent most of his time 'caring' for Fat Tiger!
Of course, he also understood that Fat Tiger was Roy's pet and subordinate, so he did not dare to have any ideas about abducting Fat Tiger. But it was not without reason that Grawl was called the hound leader. He seemed to love demons like hellhounds. Just like dog lovers among humans, Grawl was very obsessed with hellhounds.
He had a large army of three-headed hellhounds under him, all of which he had trained. These elite hellhounds were also very loyal to Grawl. Under his command, these hellhounds were not afraid of death and could tear apart any enemy for Grawl.
Fat Tiger's enormous body was very rare among the entire hellhound race. Moreover, Fat Tiger had demon wings that other hellhounds did not have. It could be said that Fat Tiger was a super flying dog in Grawl's eyes! This was also why he was eager to hunt. He had been trying to figure out why Fat Tiger had mutated like this.
After obtaining Roy's consent, Grawl carefully cut off a few strands of Fat Tiger's fur with his scythe. In the end, it took Grawl a lot of effort to cut off these few strands of fur because each of them was as hard as steel.
Roy did not stop him from researching because he knew that Grawl would not be able to research anything at all. Fat Tiger's mutation was simply bestowed by the system. However, seeing his obsessed look, Roy rolled his eyes and pretended to casually tell him that Fat Tiger liked to eat dragon meat!
With just this sentence, Grawl immediately became interested. He told Roy that when the demons detonated the volcanoes in Eeofol, they had discovered a few wild lava dragons living in the volcanoes. The demons did not disturb these powerful lava dragons for the time being, and he remembered that there seemed to be one on the way to Ur-Hekal.
Roy did not say anything about this topic at all, so helplessly, Grawl brought his troops to hunt dragons alone!
When he returned, he actually brought back the corpse of an enormous adult lava dragon!
But it seemed that in order to hunt this wild lava dragon, Grawl had paid a huge price. Hundreds of his elite hellhounds had died, and he was also injured.
Lava dragons, as the name implied, were dragons that liked to live in magma. Unlike red dragons, lava dragons liked to immerse their entire bodies in magma, so they could only be found in the depths of volcanoes.
The wings of this kind of dragon had also completely degenerated, so they could not fly at all. But correspondingly, they had evolved to have a defense that far exceeded that of ordinary dragons. On the surface of their bodies, there was a layer of incomparably hard shell formed by magma. This shell had completely fused with their dragon scales, so not only could it not be peeled off, it could also maintain a high temperature. It was a natural magma shield. They could spit out magma dragon breath, which had extraordinary lethality. They also had a huge body size and weight. When an adult magma dragon stood up, it was probably seven or eight stories tall. They were a rather powerful dragon.
Grawl did not have Roy's Dragon Slayer Magic, so it would definitely be very difficult for him to fight such a powerful lava dragon. The death of the elite hellhounds he had personally trained pained him greatly. But for Fat Tiger, he still completed the dragon hunt without hesitation and brought this lava dragon back.
Roy was a little shocked when he saw his miserable appearance when he returned. He felt that if he were Fat Tiger, he would probably be moved. He was purely serving Fat Tiger like a master!
Unfortunately, Fat Tiger was heartless. He only recognized Roy as his master, and he did not care how much Grawl had paid to gain favor. When he saw the lava dragon, Fat Tiger drooled and rubbed his head against Roy, asking him to make a feast for him.
Lava dragons were mostly in a magma state, and there were not many places that could be eaten. Roy only discovered this when he was dealing with the lava dragon, especially when the fiery red muscles inside were still emitting high temperatures. Such dragon meat did not need to be cooked or roasted at all and could be eaten directly.
Roy secretly took a bite and found that the lava dragon meat was actually spicy! There was no need for any spices to set off the burning taste in his mouth!
This caused Fat Tiger to immediately fall in love with it the moment he took the first bite!
A lava dragon that weighed dozens of tons could only eat a few tons. Under Fat Tiger's devouring, it did not last more than five minutes. After eating, Fat Tiger looked at Grawl with unsatisfied eyes, meaning: Why don't you get some more?
Grawl shivered under Fat Tiger's gaze and wanted to cry but had no tears. Although it was generally not a problem for high-rank demons to deal with dragons, it also depended on what kind of dragon it was. An adult lava dragon had cost him a lot, so how could he withstand a few more?
Fortunately, Grawl did not do anything useless. After Fat Tiger ate the lava dragon, Grawl witnessed Fat Tiger's evolution process with his own eyes.
This time, after devouring the Lava Dragon, not long after, its skin began to turn dark red and emit a burst of high temperature.
A state similar to that of the lava dragon appeared on his body. His skin, which had already turned into dragon scales, gradually had the effect of the lava dragon's magma stone skin. Moreover, the temperature of the flames spewed out by his head that could spit out flames had increased greatly.
Roy had now discovered that Fat Tiger would often benefit from devouring these powerful creatures. He seemed to be able to absorb some of the advantages of the creatures he devoured to evolve himself.
To be honest, Roy did not think so much when he set his attributes. It was completely the system …
The effect of this evolution made Grawl extremely excited, and he felt that the price he paid this time was really worth it. He firmly believed that Fat Tiger was a rare hellhound with a noble bloodline in the Abyss, so in the following process, he kept encouraging the female hellhounds under him to think of ways to get close to Fat Tiger.
He planned to borrow his seed …
But the problem was that Fat Tiger was too big now. Even if Fat Tiger really had that intention, these ordinary-sized female hellhounds would not be able to accept him at all! He would die with just one pressure …
This problem gave Grawl a headache …
Just like that, after three or four days, a huge Fiend city appeared in everyone's sight.
They finally arrived at Eeofol's capital, Ur-Hekal.
Looking at the city, Roy could not help but smile sinisterly.
Xeron, I'm here to find you. I just don't know if you can recognize me …
