Custom Made Demon King

chapter 76: the demon in charge of punishment

He slowly withdrew his magic power, and the cold black aura around him dissipated as well.

When Roy was about to store the souls of the killed demons, the pool water, which was originally only splashing and bubbling, suddenly rolled up and formed a vortex. This vortex had a strong suction force that actually sucked in the surrounding souls!

All of this happened so unexpectedly quickly that Roy could not react, and it was already too late to try to get the souls back.

At the same time, Roy felt a powerful force acting on him. It was the power of the barrier! Roy and Fat Tiger were repelled by the power of the barrier and were flung out of the place of refinement immediately.

He was thrown out of one of the demon head gates, and the power dissipated the moment he emerged from the barrier. Even so, Roy and Fat Tiger fell to the ground.

The middle-rank demons loitering around the periphery of the place of refinement looked at Roy and Fat Tiger with puzzled expressions, not knowing what was going on.

But right at this moment, these middle-rank demons seemed to sense something, and they howled before fleeing in all directions.

Roy had just climbed up from the ground when he saw the eyes of the demon gate that he flew out of glow red, as though the demon gate was alive!

With the red light shining, a powerful force or will descended onto the demon gate. Roy felt the same power as he had from Xeron, so he knew that it was definitely the will of a high-rank demon that connected with the demon gate.

"Woah! Look at what we have here. Another challenger has appeared!" the demon gate said as it stared at Roy with red eyes. The demon's face gave off the feeling of sarcastic laughter.

"Your Excellency, you are...?" Knowing that the other party was a high-rank demon, Roy did not dare to be careless. Fortunately, he had practiced having false respect when he was with Xeron, so he showed a humble and puzzled expression.

"My name is Edrach! A high-rank demon!" the voice said. "Servant of Demon Lord Rogeros! Kid, don't you know that it's forbidden to kill within the barrier of this place of refinement?"

"I don't know, Your Excellency Edrach!" Roy replied. "If they attack me, I can't just stand still and let them attack, right?"

"Hmph. I'm not interested in hearing these arguments!" Edrach said. "In the past millions of years, many demons have been unable to restrain their killing nature and killed other demons within the barrier. If I had to listen to all their reasons, wouldn't I be exhausted? If you did it, you did it. I never care who is right!"

"Okay!" Roy sighed softly. "So, Your Excellency Edrach, did you come here to kill me for breaking the rule?"

While speaking, Roy was preparing to use Flash.

However, Edrach unexpectedly burst out laughing. "Kill you? Why?"

"Huh? Didn't you say that I broke the rule?" Roy asked in puzzlement.

"Hmph. The blood in the pool water of this place of refinement belongs to Lord Rogeros, and the lord also sets the rules here!" Edrach said. "You have indeed broken the lord's rule! However, chaos and killing are rules of the Demon World, so it can't be said that you're completely in the wrong!"

"What do you mean?" Roy was confused. What exactly is Edrach trying to express?

"Damn it. You fellows who have just promoted from low-rank demons are so troublesome!" Edrach's voice slightly sounded impatient. "Listen up. I'll only say it once! Don't you understand? After becoming a middle-rank demon, you should have the status you deserve! Unlike those ant-like low-rank demons, you become a qualified warrior after knowing how to use magic power! Therefore, in some things, you can get the chance you deserve!
