Chapter 130 Super Large-scale War Summons
Chapter 130 Super Large-scale War Summons
The compressing of magic power was still going on. Roy had thought that he only needed to compress it once, and his demon heart would be able to accommodate the growth of magic power again. But after getting Araniya’s inherited memories, Roy found that this compression was actually a requirement. In order to become a high-rank demon, the most basic requirement was to compress magic power into a ‘liquid’! This liquid state was actually also a concept. It meant that after repeatedly compressing magic power, it could essentially be sensed like the blood in his body...
Obviously, this was a very long process...
Over the coming days, Roy stayed in the middle Abyss and lived a fairly regular life. Every day, when his magic power was abundant, he compressed his magic power once and then brought Fat Tiger, who had returned from mining, to hunt souls and food. Occasionally, he would fight a few demons who intruded into his territory and take away their souls.
Although Roy relied on his massive amount of magic power and the innate restraint of frost demons against other demons, winning much more than he lost, as time passed, Roy found his weakness—compared to some old demons, his combat experience was lacking!
When he encountered evenly matched opponents and could not rely on his strength to crush them, Roy always fought strenuously because he lacked combat experience. After all, he was still a very young demon in the Abyss and could be said to be too young. From his birth until the present, he had been living in the Abyss for about two years, and most demons were probably still low-rank ones at this time and living in the upper Abyss. In contrast, Roy was about to advance to high-rank demon. His strength had indeed improved too quickly.
However, this increase in strength mainly referred to the increase in magic power. In fact, the overall strength of demons consisted mainly of three things: magic power, physical strength, and combat experience. Roy’s improvement was uneven.
Therefore, slowing down in promoting to high-rank demon was actually beneficial for him. Roy understood this point, so he was not in a rush.
Time passed by slowly, and half a year passed by in the blink of an eye. During this half a year, Roy did not go to a Gate of the Abyss again to respond to the summons to go to another world. Instead, he tried to find other demons to fight against to increase his combat experience.
During this time, Roy finally completed his meticulously designed armor!
This armor Roy designed used Surplices as reference. It had a helmet, gauntlets, arm guards, shoulder guards, a chest plate, a waist guard, skirt armor, greaves, boots, wings, and so on. All of the materials were made of his black ice. Roy had designed it to be like a transformation skill and usually did not wear it, but when needed, he used the skill to form the armor with magic power!
But regrettably, there were not enough souls to materialize this armor!
It couldn’t be helped. The attributes Roy set for this armor were simply too powerful, so even though he had not used Magic Energy Growth Potions during this time and had accumulated twenty thousand souls, it was still not enough. Cold Winter Armor (temporary name)
Material: Dark Cold Magic Power
Equip: One-time consumption of magic power to form the armor. Afterward, there is no need to consume magic power to maintain it. Can be removed when wanted.
Indestructible: Can withstand powerful physical attacks. Even if the damage exceeds the limit, it will not be completely destroyed, only shattered.
Self-repairing: When the armor breaks or is damaged, it will automatically absorb magic power to repair. The repair speed depends on the magic power supply speed. Super Recovery: Provides at least ten times the activity recovery speed and magic power recovery speed.
Elemental Resistance: Can resist at least 50% of the damage of all known elements.
These were the attributes Roy defined for the armor. And for the numbers, Roy did not give it solely to the system to adapt and match like before but made minimum requirements. Not many high-quality souls were required to set it as a skill. He could handle two fallen souls. The problem laid in the attributes of the armor itself. They were probably why Roy could not exchange for and materialize the armor. Setting the lower limits was equivalent to raising the attributes of the armor in disguise. In fact, at the beginning, Roy wanted to set it to infinite magic power recovery and life force regeneration, and elemental immunity. However, even a million souls might not be enough for such attributes, and being able to materialize it was not in the foreseeable future. Thus, he could only lower his requirements a little and change the attributes. The twenty thousand souls in his hands was not enough, so he simply planned to gather a hundred thousand souls to make this armor. Obtaining a hundred thousand souls was not too far off for Roy.
Speaking of which, if these attributes could be realized, it was almost a divine artifact,
right?
This armor was still on paper, so Roy could only look forward to it from time to time to stimulate his thought of collecting souls as soon as possible and modify some small places and flaws while waiting... Just as Roy lived his days regularly and gradually advanced toward high-rank demon, there was suddenly an enormous tremor under his feet!
Roy thought that it was an earthquake, and in this Abyss, seismic activity was quite frequent. Every time an earthquake happened, the tremors were very strong, and it was often accompanied by the eruption of magma. He was already used to it, so he did not pay much attention to the tremor. He merely flew into the air with Fat Tiger and intended to wait for the earthquake to pass as usual.
However, after a while, he realized that the tremor did not seem to be from an earthquake!
Because not long after the tremor occurred, Roy noticed a large amount of black mist spreading in the distance.
Roy remembered that there was an altar in that direction, and the black mist was exactly the same as the mist of a Gate of the Abyss. This discovery made Roy slightly doubtful. Could something have happened to the Gate of the Abyss?
The black mist continued to spread, and it had long exceeded the area covered by the altar. As the black mist filled the air, countless demons appeared! Some demons that usually lived underground dug their way out, and flying demons flew out from their nests. A large number of demons on the ground ran with their feet or four hooves, rumbling toward the black mist.
Looking at the excited and fanatical demons that were constantly passing by but did not get into conflicts, Roy finally found the reason from his memory!
War summons! Furthermore, it was a super large-scale war summons! The massive amount of black mist meant that a huge Gate of the Abyss was about to open! And it was probably not only this altar, but altars in other places as well, including the upper and middle levels of the Abyss, and possibly even the evolving lower levels of the Abyss where the Abyss overlords were living. Only like this could such a huge Gate of the Abyss open!
Because this was a war summons initiated by a demon king! Possibly even several demon kings together. A war summons of such scale meant that a true war of world destruction had started!
When Roy understood what was going on, he was shocked because this situation seemed to have been only recorded once in Araniya’s inherited memories! Many demons might not even encounter such a war summons in their entire lives!
Facing a war summons of such large scale, the demons were certainly excited and fanatical.
Such an immense war also meant that it was extremely dangerous. Roy hesitated a little about whether he should go, but danger also meant huge benefits at the same time. Thinking about the massive number of souls he required for his Cold Winter Armor, Roy gritted his teeth and followed the army. Fat Tiger followed closely behind him as they rushed in the direction of the black mist.
When he arrived in front of the black mist, Roy looked at the large coverage area in surprise. Unlike the mist of a Gate of the Abyss opened by an altar, which only covered a few meters, the black mist covered almost the entire valley. This meant that when the Gate of the Abyss opened, it would form a huge Gate of the Abyss that was dozens of kilometers wide!
Roy could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Which unlucky world is going to connect to the Gate of the Abyss? Such a huge Gate of the Abyss, and in more than one place, meant that millions or even tens of millions of demons would swarm into the other world!
If the other world was unprepared, then there was absolutely no hope, and it was doomed!
