This demon city that Xeron had built by detonating a volcano did not seem to have a name.
To the demons, this was only an outpost for attacking Erathia. It was located on the border, and as the battle line extended, it would become slower and slower to replenish troops through this demon city. In other words, in Xeron's original plan, this city would eventually be abandoned.
Precisely because of this, when Roy rushed back to the city, there were no high-rank demons guarding it. There were only some little demons left in the city. When Ignatius left, he did not take these little demons with him. They were left behind as laborers and defensive forces. From this point, it could be seen that the demons would abandon this place in the future.
Because he was also a demon, Roy entered the demon city smoothly. Some of the little demons who stayed here had seen Roy and knew that he was Xeron's adjutant. Although they did not know why he suddenly came back alone, they would not ask too much given the personality of demons.
When Roy found that there were no middle-rank or high-rank demons in the city, he was even more relieved. After entering the city, he went straight to the location of the summoning formation.
On the way back, Roy found that the repulsive force of the world seemed to have increased. It seemed that this was indeed the case. As time passed, the repulsive force would continue to strengthen. In order to resist this repulsive force, Roy's magic energy consumption was gradually increasing. Perhaps in the end, Roy's magic energy consumption would not be able to resist this force, and he would eventually be expelled.
Stronger demons might be able to stay in this world for a while, but no matter how long, they would still be expelled. Therefore, high-rank demons like Xeron, Ignatius, and the others did not even hesitate to sign a demon contract with the people of this world in order to stay in this world as long as possible. And this contractor was King Lucifer Kerrigan, whom they had been talking about.
Roy did not know who this person was, and it was impossible for him to see him. However, to be able to make high-rank demons swear loyalty to him, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person. Perhaps he really was an incarnation of Lucifer.
However, because of Roy's plan, Xeron was killed in advance and expelled back to the Abyss. This inevitably affected the demon army's plan to invade Erathia.
Arriving in front of the summoning formation, Roy carefully compared the pattern of the magic formation with the one he had seen Xeron draw. After confirming that there were no mistakes, Roy began to input magic power into the summoning formation.
Generally speaking, the pattern of a magic array and the arrangement of words were fixed and had a specific function. Once it was completed, it would have a specific function. If there was a ready-made magic array, then it would only need to be infused with Mana. In other words, such a magic array was like a household appliance. It could be used as soon as it was connected to electricity!
The function of the magic formation engraved in the demon castle was to open a Gate of the Abyss and connect with the altar set up in the Abyss to teleport the demons on the other side. This kind of teleportation was usually one-way. Similarly, when Roy wanted to teleport back, the Gate of the Abyss that he opened was also one-way, so he did not have to worry about other demons running in and causing a collision.
Roy followed the direction of the magic power output when he saw Xeron temporarily summon the high-level demons and reversed it. He first used magic power to activate the pattern in the center of the magic formation before gradually spreading it to the outer circle.
This was the so-called reverse output of magic power. Roy lacked knowledge about magic formations and did not know if this was the right way to do it, so he was just trying it now.
Fortunately, he succeeded. The Magic Array began to glow faintly and was gradually activated.
In fact, it was not that Roy was lucky. In fact, this magic formation that connected to the Abyss had gradually become a fixed pattern over the past millions of years. After all, demons sometimes needed to teleport themselves back, so this universal magic formation had both summoning and anti-summoning functions.
Black fog filled the air, and the Gate of the Abyss opened. Just looking at the black fog, Roy could not help but think of the Dark-Dark Fruit. In a sense, when the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit was activated, it was quite similar to this black fog … The Dark-Dark Fruit also had spatial abilities, which were dark holes that could suck objects in. Did this mean that the Dark-Dark Fruit could connect to an alternate space like the Gate of the Abyss?
Roy only thought about this question casually and put it aside for the time being. After the Gate of the Abyss opened, Roy did not rashly enter. Instead, he got Fat Tiger to catch a little demon first.
In front of these little demons, Fat Tiger was super fierce. Not to mention little demons, even the real hellhounds could not beat Fat Tiger now. After receiving Roy's order, Fat Tiger immediately jumped and pounced on a passing little demon. After pushing this little demon to the ground, he stretched out his mouth and bit the back of the little demon's neck, but he did not use much strength.
This little demon was bitten by Fat Tiger. He originally wanted to resist, but he did not dare to move and was brought back to the magic formation by Fat Tiger.
Roy also found a chain at this time. Without saying anything, he directly twisted the little demon up and tied it tightly with the chain. Then he placed a camera on the chain.
Of course, Roy had made this camera in the system, and he had already set up the automatic photo function. After setting it up, Roy pulled the other end of the chain with one hand and threw the little demon into the Gate of the Abyss with the other.
He needed someone to explore the way and determine if the other side of the Gate of the Abyss was the Abyss.
After throwing the little demon out, Roy pulled the chain and waited for a while before pulling it back.
However, unfortunately, the one-way teleportation was indeed one-way. Even with the chain tied to its body, the little demon could not be pulled back. There was still a feeling on the chain, but when Roy pulled it back, the feeling from the chain suddenly became empty! By the time Roy pulled back all the chains, the little demon had mysteriously disappeared!
On the other hand, inanimate objects like the chain were fine, and even the camera on it was still there.
Roy picked up the camera and looked at the photos taken automatically. Then he heaved a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the scenery in the photos was the scenery around the altars in the Abyss.
In other words, there was no problem with this Gate of the Abyss as long as Roy did not turn back after entering. The reason why the little demon disappeared was probably because he was lost in the chaotic space …
"Let's go, Fat Tiger. Let's go back!" Roy called out to Fat Tiger, and then the demon and dog walked into the fog of the Gate of the Abyss together.
The light changed, and when it suddenly became clear, Roy found himself on an altar with Fat Tiger at his feet.
However, he did not know where this place was or if it was the upper Abyss. In addition, he did not know how far it was from the altar where he was summoned.
There were no other demons around the altar. After Roy and Fat Tiger left the altar, the magic formation that lost its magic power supply gradually stopped, and the Gate of the Abyss gradually closed.
Roy spread his wings and flew away with Fat Tiger. After leaving the altar, Roy quickly received good news.
The good news was that this was indeed the upper Abyss because Roy had already seen a few low-rank demons appearing nearby. Given the strict hierarchy of demons, it was impossible for low-rank demons to live in the deeper Abyss without a need to promote. However, it was a little troublesome that Roy did not find any familiar scenery nearby. He seemed to have been randomly teleported to an unfamiliar place.
The Abyss was simply too large. It could accommodate tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of demons, so one could imagine how large the space was.
Therefore, Roy did not dwell too much on this point. He began to look for a path to the lower Abyss with Fat Tiger.
There was more than one such path, and they were often guided by magma rivers. This was actually very easy to understand, because magma rivers would fall deep into the earth's core due to gravity, and the deeper it went, the deeper the abyss would be.
Roy had to promote now. Firstly, low-rank demons were indeed too much of a hindrance. Secondly, his magic energy had reached a bottleneck. Now, he did not dare to use Magic Power Growth Potions, afraid that his body would explode and he would die.
Therefore, in the following time, Roy brought Fat Tiger to search for the entrance to the lower Abyss.
But it was actually quite difficult to find. Sometimes, you might not be able to find the end of a magma river even after flying hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, not to mention that not every magma river led to a lower world.
After wandering for more than a month, Roy's hard work paid off. After flying hundreds of kilometers along a magma river, he suddenly saw a huge crack in front of the river!
This crack was about five kilometers long and seemed to have formed after an earthquake cracked the ground. The magma river was cut off at the crack, and fiery red, high-temperature magma fell down the crack, forming a lava waterfall.
When Roy flew in the sky and looked down at the crack, he found that it was bottomless. Looking down, he could only see a fiery red spot of light, which was the light brought by the magma.
It should be here, right? Roy thought as he slowly flew down the crack with Fat Tiger.
One kilometer, two kilometers … Roy did not know how long he had flown and how deep he had fallen before he gradually found that the crack was beginning to narrow.
When Roy finally flew out of a narrow hole that was tens of meters wide, an equally vast space suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Compared to the upper Abyss, the space here was even darker. This was because there was no moss that emitted light on the walls of the upper Abyss. As soon as he entered, Roy could not see far with his eyesight.
Demons had night vision, and it seemed that they had evolved to deal with this dark environment …
While adapting to the dark environment, Roy also felt that his wings were very tired. It was not because he had been flying for too long. In fact, the distance of this vertical fall was only about ten to twenty kilometers, which was not too deep. Roy's wings felt tired because the gravity here seemed to be stronger than in the upper Abyss!
Under this gravity, Roy's body became heavy, and every flap of his wings required more strength. How could he not be tired?
