Chapter 291 Master Beast Tamer
Chapter 291 Master Beast Tamer
Although Rafaro did not dare to meet his sister, it did not mean that he could not attack the dark elves.
In the following days, Roy ordered Rafaro to move out. Against these irritating dark elves, Roy was sinister. He gave Rafaro a bottle of demon perfume and got him to bring a group of mutants.
The combat power of the mutants was not high, so Roy did not expect them to kill many enemies. Instead, he hoped that they would spread the highly infectious mutant virus to the dark elves.
The dark elves did not have a large population. Once the virus infected them, it would be an extermination-level disaster.
As expected, not long after Roy dispatched the mutants, the number of assassins encountered along the way began to decrease significantly. Finally, the assassins never appeared again. This meant that his response was quite effective. As long as the dark elves were injured by the mutants and escaped, the virus would spread without a hitch. After all, even priests could not cure nor cleanse Roy’s T-Virus, so for the dark elves, the T-Virus was unsolvable!
Rafaro soon returned. He told Roy that he had encountered a few waves of assassin attacks. After the battles, dozens of assassins were injured by the mutants and escaped.
At this time, the interior of the Shadowbrand clan had probably already fallen into chaos. Although the dark elves were cold and ruthless, and they could mercilessly kill their infected compatriots, as long as any dark elves chose to hide their injuries, it would not be easy to get rid of the infection from the roots...
After this, the Shadowbrand clan could not come and harass his army for the time being, so Roy continued to lead the army forward.
Just as they were about to reach the destination demon city, a demon patrol team appeared on the road.
A high-rank demon hero led the demon patrol of about five hundred troops. When he found that there were many demons in Roy’s army, this high-rank demon hero stopped in surprise and pointed his scythe at him. “Stop! Which city are you from?!” Roy spread his wings, turned into a flash of lightning, and appeared in front of this high-rank demon. This incomparably fast speed shocked the high-rank demon, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on his weapon.
Roy looked at this high-rank demon from head to toe. This high-rank demon had a black full helmet on his head, with two demon horns extending from both sides of his helmet. But apart from the helmet, he wore no other armor. His body was bare, with bulging muscles under his fiery red skin, and several steel chains crossed over his body. He looked capable and valiant, and clattering rang out when he moved.
Most of the demons behind him were hellhounds. These hellhounds were three-headed and looked strong. They should be elite ones.
Not only did Roy see these hellhounds, but Fat Tiger also saw them. He could not help but jump and land behind Roy with a bang, causing the ground to shake. Then Fat Tiger curiously looked at these of the same races as him.

The elite hellhounds on the opposite side had been standing proudly behind the high-rank demon, but they immediately cowered as soon as Fat Tiger appeared. They whimpered and shrank back, clearly frightened by his enormous body.
As for the high-rank demon, his eyes were shining as he looked at Fat Tiger and said greedily, “What a powerful hound. Is this a mutated breed? Great!”
Roy did not say anything and stretched out his palm. Fat Tiger lowered his heads cooperatively and rubbed against Roy’s palm.
It was not until this moment that the high-rank demon opposite realized that this titan hellhound actually had an owner, so he quickly withdrew his gaze, clenched his fist, and thumped his chest. “My name is Grawl, the Hound Master, and master beast tamer under Sovereign Kha-Beleth! Where do you come from?”
Even though Roy did not release all his magic power pressure, he was still much stronger than Grawl. Grawl immediately felt this. In addition, Roy led far more troops than him, so when he asked, he subconsciously had a hint of respect.
“My name is Osiris. I just escaped from a seal!” Roy replied.
Roy felt that Julia’s suggestion was excellent. The mages of Bracada disseminated Roy as a powerful demon that escaped from a seal. They said that the so-called Dragon Balls were simply lies created by the demon so that he could escape. This declaration was, of course, a method for the Bracadans to justify themselves, but Roy used it directly.
“Really?” Grawl was stunned for a moment, but he immediately accepted Roy’s words.
In the past thousands of years, there were indeed many Sheogh demons that had been sealed. Generally speaking, since the enemy sealed them, it just meant that the demons were powerful. Since they could not kill them, they could only seal them. The power that Roy displayed now was one of the best among high-rank demons. Wasn’t it reasonable for such a demon to be sealed?
“Your Excellency Osiris, did you come to Eeofol to return to Sheogh?” Grawl asked. “Or do you plan to use a Gate of the Abyss to return to the Abyss?”.
“Who’s in charge of Eeofol now?” Roy pretended to ask. “I’ve been sealed for too long. After coming out, I found that everything has changed...” “It’s His Excellency Xeron, a high-rank demon!” Grawl said. “He is the commander of the army personally appointed by Sovereign Kha-Beleth!”
“Oh? Where’s Sovereign Kha-Beleth?” Roy asked.
“Sovereign Kha-Beleth is still in Sheogh...” Grawl said in a depressed tone. “This damn prison isn’t easy to break!” Roy certainly knew what Grawl meant. In fact, the so-called Sheogh was a special alternate space inside the planet. Demons regarded it as a prison and a cage, rather than a home. The true home of demons was in the Abyss.
In fact, in the beginning, demons had come to this world because of the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash. However, after the Dragon of Order, Asha, defeated Urgash, the demons did not return to the Abyss but instead hid in this world. According to the historical records that Roy had found in various libraries during this period of time, the demons were sealed in Sheogh by the Seventh Dragon Sar-Elam because they launched the first demon invasion (known as the Wars of Fire) during the 28th-40th Year of the Seventh Dragon.
The demons sealed in Sheogh were undoubtedly extremely powerful, but due to being sealed, they could no longer return to the Abyss.
In some unofficial histories recorded by demons, they had speculated that this might be because Sar-Elam had transferred the demons’ Ouroboros Marks and grafted them into the Sheogh Space when he sealed them. The reason why demons could travel to the Infinite Worlds and back was because of the Ouroboros Marks given by the Gates of the Abyss. Once these marks were transferred, the demons could not return to the Abyss.
Now, the Sheogh demons could only escape when the seal weakened during lunar eclipses. However, the sealing barrier prevented some overly powerful demons from coming out for the time being. And the demons that escaped could only continually think of ways to summon their companions from the Abyss in order to form an army. These newly summoned companions were naturally not restricted by Sheogh’s seal.
“What a pity!” Roy sighed perfunctorily. “Since I can’t see Sovereign Kha-Beleth, bring me to see Xeron first!”.
Grawl felt slightly awkward. “I can, but I have a mission now...”
“What mission?” Roy asked.
“Recently, a group of dark elves has appeared in Eeofol. They constantly attack our army, so His Excellency Xeron ordered us to capture as many of these rats as possible and send them to Ur-Hekal!” Grawl explained. “Ur-Hekal is currently the capital of the kingdom of Eeofol. His Excellency Xeron is there, and he needs these dark elves to carry out the sacrificial ritual.”
“Sacrifice?” Roy’s heart stirred.
“Yes, not only these dark elves. The commander heroes of the other cities are doing their utmost to collect living creatures!” Grawl laughed. “No matter which race it is, as long as they dare to enter Eeofol, they will be captured!”
“Since we need so many sacrifices, why don’t we send an army to invade?” Roy asked.
“No, His Excellency Xeron has made it clear that we must keep a low profile recently!” Grawl had no doubts and explained, “This sacrificial ritual concerns the plan of Sovereign Kha-Beleth. If we arouse the vigilance of the other races and they interfere, causing the plan to fail, it will be a heinous crime!”
“What kind of sacrificial ritual is it? Why is it so important?” Roy asked.
“Haha!” Grawl wanted to say it, but he stopped his mouth in time. “What exactly is it? When you see His Excellency Xeron, he might tell you!”
“Okay!” Roy could not continue asking. “But if you want to hunt down those dark elves, you don’t need to go. They’re already in big trouble now!”
“Huh? What’s going on?” Grawl asked in confusion. “Did you encounter them?”
“Not only did I encounter them, but they also attacked my army!” Roy sneered. “So I gave them a present, a present called ‘plague’! Now that the dark elves are battered and can’t take care of themselves, even if you want to hunt them down, you probably won’t be able to catch them for now. Take me to Ur-Hekal first!”
“This...” Grawl was a little hesitant, but he looked at Fat Tiger beside Roy and nodded in agreement. “But Your Excellency Osiris, I hope you can agree to one condition. Can I have a good exchange with your titan hellhound?”
Roy glanced at Fat Tiger and nodded. “Sure!”
He could tell that since Grawl called himself the Hound Master and a master beast tamer, he seemed to be very fond of hellhounds. He wanted to communicate with Fat Tiger because he wanted to see if he could obtain Fat Tiger’s favor and then have Fat Tiger mate with his hellhounds...
However, Roy had confidence in Fat Tiger’s loyalty. Grawl was probably going to waste his efforts...
