Very soon, Chen Zhao regretted it. Eugenice was too slow.
He'd covered one kilometer in an hour. He wasn't even as fast as Chen Zhao.
At this speed, it would take him forever to reach Obsidian Castle.
Thankfully, Orris found Chen Zhao.
"Human, I finally found you." Orris' huge body descended from the sky. "Did you get caught by this Forest Shepherd? Where's Logan? Where's he hiding? "
Orris was already preparing dragon breath in her mouth. Chen Zhao had no doubt that Eugenice would be roasted if the dragon breath reached him.
"Orris, stop. He's my servant, not an enemy."
"Servant, where did you get this Forest Shepherd?"
"A friend gave it to me."
"Friend? Then where's Logan? "
"Dead." Chen Zhao took out Logan's head.
Orris was shocked. Even a living Samuel Logan wouldn't be able to scare her.
However, a dead Samuel Logan was very scary.
"How did you do it?"
"I stuffed a perfect angelic crystal into his mouth."
Orris gasped. "That's terrible."
"Logan's dead. Do you still want the perfect angelic crystal?" Chen Zhao asked.
"Yes, it can kill a demon lord. As long as it exists, my husband and I will have one more guarantee," Orris said. "What do you need?"
"I need the method to make gargoyles."
"I'll send you back to Obsidian Castle. Put this Forest Shepherd away."
Sitting on Orris's back, Chen Zhao could finally relax.
Orris was much bigger than Obitos. She flew more steadily and faster.
A while later, Chen Zhao stepped back into Obsidian Castle.
The place was filled with wreckage from the war. Demon corpses were everywhere.
"Haha … Human, I knew you'd be fine." Beelzebub Zofee patted Chen Zhao's shoulder excitedly.
Chen Zhao felt that his life would be shortened by three years after being patted by Zofee.
"Orris, did you save the humans from Logan's hands?"
"No, he did it himself. He killed Logan."
"Impossible, it's impossible for him to do it."
"That is the truth."
"Is Samuel Logan really dead?"
"Dead."
"Is he really dead?"
"…"
Beelzebub Zofee was even more excited. He brought demons of all sizes to Logan's territory to burn, kill, and loot.
"You stay here." Orris grabbed Beelzebub Zofee. "The humans want gargoyles and the way to make them."
"Sure, I'll get someone to make a few," Zofee said.
"Hurry up. He has already wasted a lot of time. There are only six hours left before he returns to the human world."
"Alright, alright, I'll go prepare now."
Beelzebub Zofee could only temporarily set aside his urge to rob his neighbor's house. He turned around to help Chen Zhao prepare the gargoyles and the method to make them.
…
"He's the best craftsman in Obsidian Castle. He made the Crimson Moon Core last time." Beelzebub Zofee introduced a short demon to Chen Zhao. One-third of his body was made of metal. He seemed to have installed it himself.
"Arnold," Zofee said. "This human is my most honorable guest. He wants to learn how to make gargoyles. Teach him personally. Be more detailed."
"Yes, Lord." Arnold saluted Beelzebub Zofee respectfully. Then he turned to Chen Zhao. "Living Lord, I will now show you how to make a gargoyle." Chen Zhao nodded.
"Okay, thank you, Arnold."
"First, use mud … or any other material, as long as it's malleable. Make an outline."
Chen Zhao watched seriously. Arnold also showed seriously. "Then, put a soul into the statue and roast it in Hellfire … Finally, draw a magic inscription on the statue. That's it. It's simple, right?"
"Err … Very simple."
"Did you learn it?"
"No. Can I watch again?"
"Of course. First … and last …"
"Did you learn it this time?"
"No."
"What about this time?"
"Can the soul be any soul?"
"Yes."
"So I have to use Hellfire to roast it?"
"Hellfire can burn all the consciousness of the soul. At the same time, it can merge the soul with the statue. Other flames don't have this effect."
"Living Lord," Arnold said, "do you want to try it yourself?"
Chen Zhao felt like he'd learned it for nothing.
He understood the entire process, but he didn't know how to make mud and didn't have Hellfire.
It was easy to make a seed of Hellfire, but to maintain it, he had to continuously put in souls as fuel.
Neither Chen Zhao nor Blackie could keep Hellfire burning.
"Whatever," Chen Zhao said helplessly. "You can help me make a few gargoyles."
He'd already given up on making them himself. It was impossible.
Arnold nodded. After understanding Chen Zhao's request, he started making the gargoyles.
Gargoyles didn't have to have a fixed form. In fact, any form could be used.
However, when making gargoyles, the souls needed had to be the same.
The size of the gargoyles had to be similar to the soul form.
If he made a gargoyle the size of the Statue of Liberty, a human's soul clearly wouldn't be able to move it.
Moreover, while gargoyles wouldn't be killed, they would be corroded.
Time was lethal to them, and their souls would not last forever.
As time passed, they would slowly die.
Moreover, they weren't perpetual motion machines. The more intense their activity, the more their souls would be damaged.
To put it bluntly, they were like cars. They needed fuel and would be worn out.
Arnold helped Chen Zhao make 20 gargoyles. They were two cyclopes and 18 batwing demons.
The cyclopes were left for Blackie to guard the entrance of the space crevice.
The remaining 18 batwing demons couldn't be placed outside the mansion because of their appearance and style. Otherwise, it would be too strange.
He planned to place the 18 bat demons in the forest around the mansion.
This way, even if the batwing demons were activated, it wouldn't affect the inside of the mansion.
