Hearing Anivia's answer, Roy was stunned.
Of course, he knew that the blood of frost demons could create undead creatures, but he really did not expect that someone would specifically hunt frost demons for this reason alone.
Most living creatures had blood in their bodies, and the blood of most creatures often existed only to maintain their nutrients and did not have any special effects. But creatures like demons would have strange characteristics in their blood because of the dark and chaotic magic power in their bodies.
This characteristic generally manifested in other weaker creatures, such as humans or animals. When these weak creatures accepted demon blood, they would be corroded by demon blood, causing their bodies to undergo tremendous mutations.
It was not only the blood of frost demons that could create undead. In fact, the blood of demons of other races could also create special monsters, such as spider demons. Although Roy had not seen it with his own eyes, it was said that if human women accepted the blood of spider demons, there was a certain chance that they would turn into a monster called 'Arachne'. This monster inherited the ability of spider demons to spit silk and was also known as the Weaver Maiden … Her image was very similar to the Spider Queen Lolth.
In addition, there were demon races whose blood could turn humans into vampires and werewolves. Roy was not too sure which demon race this was, but he knew that it existed.
In addition, Roy had once talked to Julia about the sea demons, and she had said that the blood of sea demons would also contaminate other creatures. The sirens in human legends seemed to be caused by the contamination of humans by sea demons.
And the most famous among the sea demons was probably Demon King Leviathan …
In short, because of the powerful aggressiveness of the demon bloodline, animals that accepted the bloodline in the native world of the Abyss would often turn into all kinds of monsters. Because they lived in the Abyss, they had a higher degree of acceptance of dark power, so the probability of mutation was higher and could be inherited. The acceptance of species in other worlds was relatively low, but once they accepted it, there would be tremendous mutations. The legends of all kinds of monsters in the human world actually had the shadow of demons behind them …
Of course, this was also related to demons using their bloodlines everywhere, especially in modern times. Any demon's bloodline was actually very mixed … The blood of frost demons could create liches.
The blood of frost demons could create liches, and Roy was an example. But the process of creating a lich was very low under normal circumstances, and it was only possible to accept the blood as a dead person. It was very difficult for living beings to withstand the extreme cold power of frost demon blood. Cassandra had transformed into a lich because she had accepted Roy's blood, but before that, she had been killed.
The exact origin of the first lich could no longer be determined, but it was precisely because the blood of frost demons had such power that more and more liches were born later. In fact, the increase in the conversion efficiency of many liches was not caused by the frost demons but by human mages themselves. They found that the conversion rate was too low by directly accepting the blood of frost demons. In order to achieve immortality, they ritualized the conversion process and added more materials to match the blood of frost demons to increase the success rate of the transformation of liches.
Now, hearing that someone was hunting frost demons to obtain their blood, and it was even a demon of his own race, Roy was stunned.
Of course, he could understand what Anivia meant by creating an army of undead. Liches were high-level existences among the undead, so they naturally had the ability to control other low-level undead. If they could mass-produce a large number of liches, they would naturally be able to control even more undead. Undead that did not feel pain and would not be affected by any emotions had always been the best soldiers.
"Hunting frost demons? Even if they need frost demon blood, won't they cooperate with frost demons? "Roy frowned." Why do they have to kill frost demons? "
Anivia glanced at Roy and snorted. "Osiris, you should have used your blood to create liches, right? Then you should know that different amounts of blood have different strengths and weaknesses in the created liches! "
Roy nodded. This was true. When Cassandra was created, she was not considered strong. Later on, she grew up step by step through her own accumulation and absorbing the death aura left behind by Rafaro. Roy had tried to create some liches in the Darksiders world, but without exception, they were not too powerful.
"Gathering all the blood of a frost demon can basically create a lich as powerful as the frost demon!" Anivia explained. "In fact, if the person receiving the blood was a powerful mage when he was alive, then he still has a certain chance of retaining the magic power he had when he was alive and transforming into a lich stronger than the frost demon … But the problem is that even if we are demons, we will still die when all the blood in our bodies flows out. It's impossible for us to use all our blood to feed a lich!"
"Understood!" Roy nodded. "That's why cooperation is undesirable for frost demons!"
"That's right!" Anivia said. "Even if our blood can be regenerated, the total amount of magic power in our blood remains the same. Even if we rely on the buffer of time to take twice the amount of blood from a frost demon, the final result is the same as directly extracting all the blood from the demon. Therefore, those demons adopted the most extreme method. They directly killed frost demons to obtain blood."
"When did you meet them?" Roy asked.
"About fifteen years ago …" Anivia sighed. "Originally, as one of the few remaining frost demon lords in the Abyss, I did not live in this territory but in a larger and more beautiful extremely cold territory. Other demon lords can't stay in such a territory at all, and only we frost demons will choose it. I lived very comfortably in my original territory, and many frost demons submitted to me. But one day, those demons suddenly appeared in my territory and killed most of my people. I led the other people to rise up and resist, but in the end, we failed …"
He pointed at the wound on his abdomen. "When I escaped my original territory, I was injured by a rift demon lord. It's been fifteen years, and I've been recovering in the ice coffin, but I haven't completely recovered. In order to avoid their pursuit, I could only choose this much smaller and dirty frost territory as a place to stay. Those demons chose to attack the larger fragment worlds. Later, I learned that the other frost demon lords with similar territories were all attacked and died …"
At this point, Anivia said to Roy self-deprecatingly, "In fact, you and I might be the only two remaining frost demon lords in the entire Abyss …"
"Fifteen years ago?" Roy's sharp nails tapped on the armrest as he asked thoughtfully, "Are those demons still attacking frost demons?"
"I don't know!" Anivia shook his head. "I've always been hiding carefully, and I don't have enough manpower around me, so I haven't heard much news. But over the years, I haven't been disturbed much while staying here. It seems that after the wave of attacks fifteen years ago, they disappeared. Maybe they've already gathered enough blood and don't need it anymore …"
"What's the origin of these demons?" Roy asked. "Since they gathered many demon lords, there should be rumors about them in the Abyss."
"Unfortunately, I don't know much!" Anivia said. "I only know that they obtained so much frost demon blood that they should be able to create a powerful lich. If you want to investigate, you can start from this."
"A powerful lich? Lich King? "Roy's heart stirred." Lich King Ner 'zhul? Damn, could it be the demons of the Burning Legion who attacked Anivia?! Is there really a world of Azeroth in the Infinite Worlds? "
The so-called world of Azeroth and the so-called Void power were just nonsense that Roy had made up in the Darksiders world when he faced the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. But as he learned more about the world, he found that his prophecy had come true …
Anivia naturally saw the strange expression on Roy's face. "It seems like you know something about them?"
"I don't know if …" Roy deliberated over his words. "After all, I haven't encountered the demons you mentioned. Maybe I'm wrong …"
"Hmph. Don't worry. Even if you know their origins, I won't let you say it because I won't take revenge on them!" Anivia said. "The power of those demons isn't something a demon lord like me can contend against unless I can find a demon king as a backer …"
Roy looked at Anivia in surprise. This guy really followed his heart.
However, Roy had almost finished asking what he wanted to ask, so he did not intend to stay here any longer and got up to leave.
Seeing that Roy really had no intention of attacking his territory, Anivia heaved a sigh of relief and personally sent Roy out. Before Roy left, he said, "I don't plan on returning to my original territory before I recover. But Osiris, you can try to find the territories left behind by other frost demon lords. It depends on your luck."
Roy nodded and did not say anything else. He flew into the sky and left this fragment world through the fault …
