Chapter 19: The Devoted and Professional Good Demon

Seeing the old demon being very cooperative, Roy was very satisfied. “What’s your name…?”

After asking this first question, Roy found that the old demon was a little hesitant, so he continued, “I’m not asking for your true demon name!”

Upon hearing this, the old demon breathed a sigh of relief. “Jascalos! You can call me Jascalos!’

“Okay, Jascalos!” Roy nodded and pointed at the magic formation on the altar. “What is that about? Is this altar and magic formation a teleportation formation? Who built it?”

“It’s known as the Gate of the Abyss!” Jascalos replied. “You haven’t been summoned before, right? We demons know this place as the teleportation gate. As for who built this altar, I don’t know. These Gates of the Abyss have been around for tens of thousands of years. I’ve only heard that they may have been built by the demon kings living at the lowest level of the Abyss!”

If even an old demon like Jascalos, who had been living for who knew how long, did not know who built the altar, then there was no point in asking further. Roy could only give up getting to the bottom of this and carried on asking, “Where do the Gates of the Abyss lead? Another world? Is there only one such world, or are there many?”

“Many!” Jascalos answered while stuffing his internal organs back into his abdomen. “I’ve been summoned eight times in total. Almost into a new world every time. It is said that the Gates of the Abyss can connect to countless worlds. Any world that knows how to use magic power can connect with the Gates of the Abyss.”

“Oh, you know about magic power?” Roy asked with excitement. “So, do you know how to use magic?”

However, Jascalos shook his enormous head. “No, I can’t! None of the low-rank demons can transform magic power into magic. I wouldn’t have been beaten so miserably if I knew magic!”

“Why can’t low-rank demons use magic?” Roy asked puzzledly.

“Bloodline!” Jascalos explained, “The bloodlines of the low-level demons are too complicated. Magic power is accumulated through blood vessels and stored within the demon heart. Under circumstances where the bloodline is too complicated, and blood is unable to flow in the reverse direction, it’s impossible to release magic. Only through promoting to the next level to become a middle-rank demon can a demon then enter the lower levels of the Abyss and search for a place of refinement to refine their bloodline, thereby building a channel for the magic power to flow.”

After finishing, Jascalos looked at Roy strangely. “This is all in the inherited memories from a demon’s eggshell after hatching. How come you don’t know but are asking me?”

Roy was dumbfounded. Were there such memories in the eggshell? Why don’t I know? It’s not because of my premature birth again, right?!

“There was memory loss in my inherited memory!” Roy could only carry on asking, “Tell me, how do you accomplish the promotion?”

Jascalos did not answer but instead looked at the pair of demon wings on Roy’s back and showed a weird smile. Roy could not figure out what he was thinking. It could not have been anything good because Jascalos looked like he was gloating. Roy could not bear it any further and said coldly, “You can choose not to answer, but I will kill you and search for another low-rank demon to get answers!”

“There are no criteria for promotion!” Jascalos said. “It’s just incessantly hunting and plundering souls. In fact, most low-rank demons can’t undergo promotion in their lives, so I also can’t tell you how promotion works!”
