Chapter 40: Demon’s Hound

Back in his university days, Roy had secretly raised a French bulldog in his dormitory. This kind of dog was really cute. Although it was small, it was simple, brave, and very loyal. He even made under-the-table deals with his dormitory supervisor for that little dog… After he graduated, he regrettably had to give it to his friend to raise due to work commitments. However, he would visit the little guy from time to time. The little guy could still recognize Roy as its original owner, no matter how long it had been, making Roy very emotional.

So when Roy thought of pets now, the first thing he thought of was naturally a doggy…

But Roy could not just draw a little puppy naively. Don’t forget. He was in the Abyss of the Demon World. The sense of aesthetics here was completely different. The cute little French bulldog would basically be courting death here, and only a fierce appearance would lower the chances of him being bullied. Roy might want a pet to accompany him, but he did not want it to be killed soon after it was born.

Therefore, the dog drawn by Roy was a ferocious-looking three-headed hellhound!

In Greek mythology, the hellhound Cerberus guarded the entrance to the underworld for Hades. Roy did not know if there were any similar demons in the Abyss, but it would not prevent Roy from giving it that name.

Logically speaking, using Gabriel’s soul fragment to create a holy creature would be the best, but that would give rise to the same problem as earlier. He was in the Abyss, and a holy creature would stick out like a sore thumb and taunt all the demons in the entire Abyss. As such, Roy could only choose something like hellhound even though the attribute was not right.

The hellhound he drew had extremely strong limbs and sharp claws. Its skin was covered with obsidian-like cuticles to enhance its defense, and it also had a viper head on its tail. The three heads looked more like wolf heads than dog ones, and they had sharp fangs in their mouths.

Creating a creature was not complete with only drawing. It also required 3D modeling and synthesizing some of its basic motions and gestures like running, walking, biting, etc. It was rather complicated, and Roy patiently worked on it for seven whole days in the nest before all of the materials were complete.

He then defined the various attributes and definitions of this three-headed hellhound: Loyal, fierce, obedient, curious, passionate, and smart for its personality. It was basically the same personality as the French bulldog he had raised. He set its height to around 130 to 140 centimeters, about the size of a small calf, and left its weight, strength, and speed for the system to optimize. However, Roy specified the same skill for all three heads—Breath!

All three heads could carry out breath attacks, but there were individual differences. From left to right, they were Fire Breath, Frost Breath, and Venom Breath. This way, all three heads could help Roy in combat in the future.

Also, because Roy had demon wings and could fly, he was worried that the hellhound would not be able to keep up with him, so he also gave the hellhound a pair of demon wings and the Flight attribute.

This was equivalent to a magically-modified three-headed hellhound. After giving it these definitions, Roy gave it some thought and finally added one more attribute to it: Can Grow!

He specifically added this to prevent the system from fixing and limiting its future strength. After deliberating over the multiple attributes, Roy could not help but feel conflicted. He did not know if this holy soul fragment was enough to create this hellhound. He felt that this hellhound seemed to be quite strong, and the soul fragment might be from Archangel Gabriel, but it was only a small piece after all. The most valuable part of this soul fragment was its quality, not its soul power…
