Cerberus was right. Roy would either not attack or leave a deep lesson for these whip demons.
These mutated demons really made Roy feel vexed. They did not know respect or fear, and their hunting instincts far surpassed their rationality. If Roy had not encountered such demons, he would have let them be. But now, not only did he encounter them, but they also blocked his path. This was their sin.
There were tens of millions of them, and it was impossible for Roy to always use magic power to fight them, so his methods naturally had to be sharper.
The plague viruses that Roy was using now did not actually mean that he carried these viruses but that he could use magic power to transform them.
Since the viruses were transformed from magic power, it naturally consumed the least magic power to transform a single virus. This was also why Roy did not use the plague storm he sealed in Sareth's scythe. The plague storm required too much magic power, and it was impossible to use it to eliminate tens of millions of demons.
Since rabies had a miraculous effect on these whip demons, Roy could just keep creating this virus to spread. Although rabies did not spread through the air, Roy could use wind magic to forcefully spread these rabies viruses. Now, the hurricanes in the rift valley were full of viruses that drifted with the wind. When the viruses transformed from magic power came into contact with any possible wounds or body fluids on these whip demons, they would immediately merge into them. They did not even need an incubation period before they would immediately flare up.
One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred, and the whip demon lair ushered in a calamity. They could no longer care about attacking the invaders. When more than half of their kind fell into chaos, the remaining would naturally be dragged into this chaotic vortex.
In the entire canyon, a rain of corpses fell. The whip demons bitten to death by their kind fell into the abyss of the rift valley one after another. Every dead whip demon's corpse was incomplete, and some even split into dozens of pieces and fell. The strong stench of the blood of these whip demons filled the entire canyon, forcing Dante and the others to cover their noses with their clothes.
In the midst of such a tragic plague disaster, Roy slowly descended with everyone.
A high-speed whirlwind surrounded everyone.
Not only did it send those who had escaped the net flying, but it also separated everyone from the disaster outside.
It was like two different worlds.
Even though the casualties were so heavy?
However, the number of whip demons did not decrease significantly because more whip demons kept rushing out of the depths of the rift valley.
Participating in this battle of the same kind, these newly ascended whip demons?
More than half of them were infected with rabies?
This was because before they flew up, they had already devoured the corpses of their own kind …
Dante, Nero, and the others were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. Even though they knew that there were more than ten million whip demons?
But they didn't have any intuitive concept of this number before.
Only after seeing it with their own eyes did they understand how terrifying this nest was. If they had come alone, they might not have been able to move an inch in this rift valley.
And now, because of the demon Osiris?
His ability to create plague disasters was the key to ensuring that everyone could move forward in the whip demon lair.
"Tell the truth?
If Sparda is really in this rift valley, I can't believe he's still alive! "Benia said." Not every demon lord has Osiris's ability.
No matter how powerful the Spartans were, they all had abilities like Osiris.
These whip demons are simply nightmarish existences. "
It was not just Benia who suspected it.
Roy was also suspecting it.
This number of whip demons was simply an overlord level existence in this rift valley, and no one would dare to provoke them easily.
"It's also possible that Sparda used his spatial ability to enter here. This can avoid the whip demons …" Roy pondered. "But generally speaking, if you want to go to a certain place in the form of a spatial channel, the first thing is that the caster must be familiar with this place. At the very least, they should know the approximate spatial coordinates of this place. So unless Sparda has been to the bottom of this rift valley before, he won't be able to connect here through a spatial channel."
Cerberus nodded. "This is indeed possible. Sparda has been in the Demon World for much longer than me. Perhaps he came here before these whip demons appeared and occupied this rift valley."
"In any case, we'll know when we go down!" Benia concluded.
Thus, the group continued to descend slowly in this rift valley amidst the bloody rain and the crazy screams of the whip demons, carrying out this hell journey.
The space below the rift valley became larger and larger. It gave people the feeling that it was like a flask. The opening was small, but the belly was big. The further down they went, the more whip demon lairs they could see. These mutated demons really seemed to have hollowed out the rift valley. As far as the eye could see, all the rock walls were full of densely packed holes, making people feel like they had trypophobia.
But the most surprising thing was the depth of this rift valley. Nero held an instrument that Nico gave him in his hand and was measuring the depth of their position. They had been descending for an entire hour, and the depth of the rift valley had reached 10 kilometers. However, they still could not see the bottom of the rift valley below. It was still pitch-black.
After more than an hour, the number of whip demons had clearly decreased. This was good news, but the bad news was that they were already more than twenty kilometers underground.
"Damn it. How deep is this rift valley?" Dante could not help but say, "Hey, Osiris, can we speed up? We've been delayed for too long!"
Roy looked around and nodded. "Okay, let's speed up!"
After receiving Roy's order, Fat Tiger carried everyone and accelerated their descent. When they reached more than forty kilometers underground, the surrounding environment finally became slightly different.
A scarlet light appeared at the bottom of the rift valley. It should be the light emitted by the magma flowing deep underground. When they saw this light, everyone's hearts shook. They sped up again and rushed towards the direction of the light.
Then, they saw a huge lava lake.
This lava lake was very wide, and one could not even see the edge at a glance. However, the strange thing was that this lava lake was not the vent of an underground volcano, but was formed by the convergence of several rivers of lava flowing out of the surrounding rock walls. Under the high temperature, the lava still maintained its vitality, gurgling and bubbling, constantly showing signs of exploding.
After the whip demon corpses continuously fell from above the rift valley and fell into the magma lake, they quickly made a sizzling sound and then quickly burned. During the process of sinking into the magma, the corpses had completely turned into coke.
Not only was this magma lake enormous, but it was also probably very deep because so many whip demon corpses had fallen from above, but they had not filled the lake. It was obvious how strong the lake's capacity was.
With the death of the corpses, the souls of the whip demons gradually emerged. These soul balls of light floated above the magma lake, neither rising nor sinking. Instead, they slowly condensed. When Roy and the others arrived, they could already see several enormous soul balls of light.
"Huh? This is a pleasant surprise! " Roy was stunned for a moment before immediately taking out the Soul Attracting Flag. Under the power of the Soul Attracting Flag, the soul balls above the magma lake floated up like fireflies, gathered into a stream of soul light, and flowed into the Soul Attracting Flag. At the same time, the number of souls Roy held in the system space was rapidly increasing.
Cerberus looked at Roy's operation with envy. She had actually seen a small number of souls floating during her descent, but with Demon Lord Osiris here, she did not dare to have any ideas about these souls.
Needless to say, the souls of these whip demons were pitch-black demon souls. After absorbing almost all of these souls, Roy found that he had more than nine million souls. In other words, more than nine million whip demons had died in the rabies storm.
Whip demon corpses were still falling from above one after another. Although the density had decreased a lot, it was still continuing, so Roy did not take back the Soul Attracting Flag. Instead, he handed it to one of Fat Tiger's heads and let him stay here to continue collecting souls.
As for Roy himself, he spread his wings and flew toward the magma lake. He was still holding Sparda's soul ball in his hand as he searched in the direction pointed by Sparda's soul projection.
Seeing Roy leaving, Dante could not help but mutter to Vergil, "Is the old man buried under this magma lake?"
"We'll know in a while …" Vergil did not want to speak, but he was actually very concerned deep in his heart.
In fact, Roy thought so at first. This magma lake was so huge. Since it appeared at the bottom of the rift valley, it might really be where Sparda was buried. But when Roy flew a few kilometers along Sparda's soul projection, he saw a very abrupt pillar on the magma lake!
It was an enormous rock pillar sticking out of the lake. This rock pillar was about four to five meters above the surface of the magma lake, and its top was very neat and smooth, as though it had been cut by a sharp sword blade.
On the top of the rock pillar, Roy saw an enormous pentagram magic formation. This magic formation emitted a faint light, clearly in operation. And in the center of the pentagram, there was something that shocked Roy.
It was … a demon arm!
"What the hell?!" Roy flew over in bewilderment and found that he was not mistaken. It was a pitch-black demon arm, and judging from the shape of the fingers and claws, it was a left arm. There was black armor on this arm, and a strange chain of light was tightly tied to the wrist of this arm, but the other end had sunk into the magic formation.
Roy looked at this arm in astonishment and then looked down at Sparda's soul projection in his hand. He found that the soul projection was pointing at the demon arm!
"Is this … Sparda's left arm?" Roy was a little dumbfounded because he had never thought that he would only find one part of Sparda.
Roy slowly landed and bent down to pick up the arm. But as soon as he picked it up a little, he found immense resistance. The end of the chain of light connecting the arm to the magic formation suddenly tightened, and the light of the magic formation became much brighter.
"Has it been sealed?" Roy immediately understood. He looked at the chained arm and could not help but complain, "What is this?! The sealed Dark Archmage Ekzordia?! "
