After the fog of the Gate of the Abyss dissipated, Roy found himself back at the starting point of the Abyss, but Demon Lord Rogeros had long disappeared.
Roy could only bring Fat Tiger back to the place of refinement where he had promoted and contact high-rank demon Edrach to submit the mission.
The place of refinement was still the same. From time to time, low-rank demons would come and enter the refinement pool to complete their promotion. Those who failed to promote would immediately be hunted by the middle-rank demons wandering around the periphery after leaving the barrier. He did not know how many such unique ecological cycles existed in the Abyss …
After arriving here, Roy injected magic power into a demon gate according to the method Edrach had left behind. Soon, the demon gate 'came alive' again, and the aura of high-rank demon Edrach appeared.
"It's you. It seems like you've completed the execution mission?" Although it had been several months, Edrach recognized Roy at a glance. After all, frost demons were relatively rare in the Abyss. Moreover, Roy's execution mission had alarmed Demon Lord Rogeros, so it was difficult for Edrach not to have a deep impression of him.
Roy placed the damaged Balotan Pillar, its base, and the frozen head of César's demon body in front of the demon gate. As for César's soul, Roy had long put it away, so it was naturally impossible for him to take it out.
"Is this the Devil Dweller's body that guy created?" Edrach was a servant of Rogeros, so he naturally heard about this. However, he was curious about how Roy killed César. In his impression, demon bodies were generally difficult to deal with, so he asked about the details.
Roy did not hide anything and told him everything that had happened.
Edrach was surprised when he heard this. "In order to track down César, you actually know how to cooperate with humans?"
Indeed, this was the most crucial part. It had to be known that the Balotan Pillar was already damaged, and the memory crystal could no longer locate César. If Roy did not look for the allies to provide information and relied on himself to find traces of César, it might take a long time. This way, even if he could find him in the end, he might have to face a demon César who had recovered his magic power!
The body of a Demon Person with magic power and the body of a Demon Person without magic power were two completely different things.
"What's wrong? Can't I do this? "Roy asked.
"No, no problem!" Edrach said. "Demons have always been unscrupulous. Not to mention cooperating with humans, there have even been examples in history of cooperating with angels. I'm just surprised that you, a demon who just promoted from low-rank, can adapt to the situation of a different world."
There was a reason why Edrach said this. Because demons were naturally powerful, they always had a sense of racial superiority when facing humans. They would regard weak humans as ants and were unwilling to try to understand them … But this situation often only happened to some demons who had less experience in other worlds. On the contrary, those who had experienced more other worlds would understand that humans also had their strengths.
Moreover, when they tried to understand humans, they would find that their personalities were complex and changeable. If they could make good use of their complex personalities, things would often become simple and smooth.
For example, when demons tried to conquer a world, they would usually encounter resistance from the humans of that world. But there were also contradictions and hatred between these humans. If they could use these contradictions and hatred, they could even provoke them to fight first …
Such a way of doing things usually only appeared in experienced demons. Roy was a middle-rank demon who had just promoted, so it was obvious that he had not experienced too many other worlds. But as soon as he arrived in that world, he quickly figured out the situation of the humans in that world and used the hostility between humans to help him complete the execution mission. This was very impressive.
"It seems that I didn't misjudge you back then!" Edrach said in satisfaction. "Perhaps in the future, there will be a place for you in the world of high-rank demons."
"Your Excellency, you flatter me!" Roy pretended to be modest and then asked, "The mission is complete. May I know what my reward is?"
"I'll give it to you now!" Edrach was used to the straightforwardness of demons, so after using magic power to teleport the Balotan Pillar and César's head away, he quickly gave Roy's reward.
Three high-quality Fallen Souls emitting a pitch-black glow, a pitch-black piece of metal weighing more than fifty kilograms, and a blazing black Fire Seed!
"W-what are these?"
Roy was no stranger to fallen souls. In fact, he had guessed some of his rewards. There would definitely be souls, but he did not expect Rogeros to give him a fallen soul. It seemed that he was indeed a rich demon lord. Three fallen souls were really a generous reward for ordinary demons.
However, with the Horadric Cube, Roy could use ordinary souls to synthesize high-quality souls, so he did not care too much about these fallen souls. His attention was focused on the remaining two things.
"That's the Abyss demon iron and hellfire fire seed!" Edrach said. "These two things are collected from the lower levels of the Abyss, and you middle-rank demons generally can't come into contact with them. But César's matter alarmed Lord Rogeros, so these two things are an additional reward for you!"
"Is that so?!" Roy understood. "What are the uses of these two things?"
"Abyss demon iron is usually used to forge demon weapons!" Edrach said. "Looking at how you're bare-handed, you probably haven't made your own weapon yet, right? Then you can use these Abyss demon iron to fuse with your soul fragments to forge your own weapon. Fifty kilograms should be enough for you! "
"Is this hellfire fire seed used to forge Abyss demon iron?" Roy asked.
"You can say yes, but you can also say no!" Edrach said. "Abyss demon iron will indeed only melt under the calcination of hellfire, but the fire seed is for you to fuse!"
"What do you mean?" Roy did not understand.
"You can only use hellfire after fusing. Do you think that fire seed can melt so much Abyss demon iron?" Edrach said.
"But the problem is that I'm a frost demon!" Roy said, dumbfounded. "Can I fuse hellfire with different attributes?"
"Uh, it really can't be fused …" Edrach said awkwardly. "But this is the reward that Lord Rogeros asked me to pass to you. I think he might have mixed up too many things … In short, the reward given by the lord can't be changed. If you can't fuse it, you can let your hellhound servant use it! Hmm, maybe the hellfire given by the lord was originally for your hellhound … "
Roy looked at Fat Tiger and was a little dumbfounded. Fat Tiger did have a fire-attribute head, so he could probably use it.
"Then how do I fuse with this hellfire fire seed?" Roy asked.
"It's very simple. Eat it. The fire seed of hellfire is a flame with vitality!" Edrach said. "Generally speaking, demons who know how to control flames can be compatible with hellfire."
"Is there no danger?" Roy asked.
"Very little! Unless it's really like you, with completely opposite attributes, there will be danger, "Edrach said.
Hearing this, Roy felt much more relieved.
In fact, the fire seed of hellfire came from the volcanoes at the bottom of the Abyss. It was not rare, but for low-rank and middle-rank demons, they could not obtain it because they could not reach the lower levels. Most demons could use magic power to control flames, so hellfire could basically fuse with demons.
This made Roy realize the benefits of serving these high-level demons. Souls were secondary. He could not obtain these things that were unique to the lower levels at all. These Abyss demon iron and hellfire fire seeds might be common goods for high-level demons, but they were more precious to Roy.
After explaining, Edrach left. After his power disappeared, Roy quickly put away the three fallen souls, the Abyss demon iron, and the fire seed. The smell emitted by the fallen souls had already attracted the attention of the nearby middle-rank demons. When Edrach's power was still there, they did not dare to approach, but now that Edrach left, these guys began to move.
Looking at the middle-rank demons surrounding him, Roy called out to Fat Tiger and flew into the sky.
The demons on the ground who could not fly could only watch helplessly. But in the sky, some winged demons stopped Roy, but Roy and Fat Tiger worked together to open a path and rush out.
After leaving the place of refinement, Roy brought Fat Tiger back to his original territory. But because Roy had been away for some time, another middle-rank demon occupied this place.
Roy had no choice but to fight this middle-rank demon, kill him, and retake his territory.
Only then could Roy calm down and study the reward.
He had to say that the reward Rogeros gave was quite generous. In most cases, middle-rank demons might not receive a reward like Roy's when they were hired by high-level demons. Usually, it was just some souls at most. But this time, when he chased after César across worlds, Rogeros had personally promised to increase the reward, so Roy obtained the latter two things.
Roy picked up the Abyss demon iron. It weighed more than fifty kilograms, but it was already very light for him. He could tell that this was an iron ingot that had been preliminarily refined and not iron ore. This weight was indeed enough to make a handy weapon …
However, is there anything special about this Abyss demon iron? Roy thought in puzzlement.
