BXBX NOVEL Chapter 124 Limit?
Chapter 124 Limit?
The moment he returned to the Abyss, breathed the unique hot air, and saw the dark environment, Roy suddenly felt that the Abyss seemed to be a little different.
It did not mean that the environment of the Abyss had changed, but Roy himself felt different.
The environment of the Abyss was harsh and cruel. Even though demons could adapt to this environment, it did not mean that cruelty did not exist. In the past, Roy had always felt depressed when he was in the Abyss, which was caused by the scorching air and dark environment of this world. But this time, after returning to the Abyss, he found that this depression not only disappeared but was also replaced with... relaxation.
How should he describe it? It was as though he had soaked in a bathtub full of hot water after an exhausting day or had a happy ending at the spa, feeling refreshed all over.
This feeling made Roy feel very strange. He found that the magic power in his body was operating smoother, and the energy of his entire body seemed to have improved. This was something that had never happened before.
Is it because of the so-called ‘Chosen One of the Abyss’ talent? Roy guessed. It seems to have improved my affinity with the Abyss...
To be honest, Roy had yet to figure out what this additional talent ability was about. When he was in the Pirates of the Caribbean world, he had not noticed this talent having any function. But now that he was back in the Abyss, the effect immediately appeared.
Roy spread his demon wings and flew into the sky. Fat Tiger followed closely behind. One demon and one dog returned to their territory.
Roy’s territory had been transformed by his frost power, and there was still some frost magic power left. Although the flames and scorching heat had corroded his territory after he had been away for a long time, other demons had not occupied this place. When Roy returned, the remaining frost elements in the area began to become active again.
Roy did not stand on ceremony. He immediately used his magic power to freeze his territory. When the solid black ice appeared, an even more magical scene appeared. The fire elements in the surroundings actually began to avoid Roy’s territory! And a large amount of dark and frost elements began gathering around Roy!
This phenomenon had not happened in the past either. In the past, Roy’s territory had always been corroded by flames and scorching heat. After all, the power of frost and the environment of the Abyss were opposites. Roy had been using this method to train his magic power, but now, this corrosion was gone!
This discovery puzzled Roy as he touched his demon horns. He knew that it was probably caused by the Chosen One talent. The advantage was that without the interference of the fire elements, Roy’s frost magic power normalized in the Abyss, but the disadvantage was that he could no longer use the environment to temper his frost power.
After thinking about it for a while, Roy decided not to care that much. In any case, the current level of activity of the frost element could probably make up for it.
Back in his lair, Roy began to calculate his harvest from the Pirates of the Caribbean world.
Of the two biggest waves of souls that he had harvested, one was from the Pirate Lord of the Black Sea’s fleet, and the other was from the Spanish Invincible Armada. In the battles with these two forces, Roy obtained more than 23,400 souls, and with 300 to 400 other scattered souls he harvested, the total added up to 23,800.
However, despite having obtained so many souls, he also used up some. Among them, the most expensive was the creation of the Osiris Mark, costing a full 5,000. Later, he used about 1,400 to modify Frostmourne with the Expulsion attribute. As a result, he only had around 17,400 souls left.
Moreover, there were also the eleven fallen souls... It could be said that his harvest was quite fruitful.
As the power of a demon increased, the efficiency of harvesting souls would naturally increase. Low-rank demons could only kill one by one to obtain souls. But after becoming middle-rank demons, their magic power and magical destructiveness increased, so the speed of harvesting souls also greatly increased.
However, as the efficiency increased, the growth rate of magic power subsequently decreased. There was nothing he could do about this.

Since they were in the Abyss, there were many worlds that demons could come into contact with. Perhaps to humans, the world they lived in was their home, but to demons, it was just one of the countless worlds. A world was just a number and not necessarily very precious, so out of the desire for souls, it could be said that every demon had the heart to destroy a world because this meant that they would be able to obtain a lot of souls. Of course, it was one thing to want to destroy a world, but it was another thing to be able to do it. Without enough strength, it was useless to think much about it.
Although Roy had harvested many souls in the Pirates of the Caribbean world this time, he still finally stopped before going too far. It might have looked as though existences like Calypso and Davy Jones had turned a blind eye to Roy’s actions, but in fact, it was because they could not do anything about Roy. They simply felt that starting a fight with Roy was not cost-effective and risky, so they had let Roy do what he wanted. However, if Roy had been greedy and wanted to plunder more souls, these people might have turned hostile...
With more than seventeen thousand souls in his hands, Roy naturally began to consider how to strengthen himself.
In the display of the system interface, his current magic power value was 3,122. This magic power value was already at the level of a top-middle-rank demon, but it was still a distance away from the level of a high-rank demon. Thus, it was certain that he would set aside some souls to continue increasing his magic power. However, even if his magic power reached the level of a high-rank demon, it might not necessarily be possible for him to become a high-rank demon immediately. Roy’s demon bloodline needed to have enough purity.
As his magic power grew, Roy’s frost power also grew, which was the indication that his bloodline was continuing to purify. This was the way demons improved, simple and crude. They only needed to devour enough souls.
After thinking about it, Roy decided to set aside 10,000 souls to make Magic Energy Growth Potions to enhance his magic power and purify his bloodline. He intended to use the remaining 7,400 souls to improve his defensive capabilities.
But considering that his current magic power growth efficiency was declining, Roy did not turn these 10,000 souls into a bottle of Magic Energy Growth Potion. Instead, he used 100 souls each bottle and observed the changes in his magic power growth efficiency through consuming them several times. At first, a bottle of Magic Energy Growth Potion made with 100 souls could increase Roy’s magic power by 72 after consuming it. But when his magic power increased to 3,500, it was as Roy had expected. The efficiency of the potions fell again, and a bottle could only increase his magic power by 68. After reaching 4000, a bottle could only increase it by 65.
At this time, Roy understood why demons pursued high-quality souls. As the magic power growth rate using ordinary souls decreased, the growth in magic power brought by consuming high-quality souls like fallen souls seemed much higher. A fallen soul could substitute for nearly a hundred souls, so its efficiency was naturally higher. However, high-quality souls such as fallen souls were relatively rare, so these souls were quite precious to other demons. But for Roy, because he had created the Horadric Cube, he could transmute ordinary souls into high-quality fallen souls, which was very unusual.
Roy continued downing Magic Energy Growth Potions. He initially thought that even if the efficiency fell, his magic power would still slowly increase. But he did not expect that when his magic power reached five thousand, an unexpected situation happened.
He discovered that the magic power nodes all over his body felt swollen and painful!
Realizing that something might have gone wrong, Roy immediately stopped consuming the potions. What’s going on? Has the magic power within my body reached the limit, or is it because of something else?
