Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 116 Just Wait

About an hour later, Roy completed the soul harvesting and finally left with 19,762 souls.

Although he had left, the huge floating iceberg island formed by more than thirty sailing warships of the Spanish Invincible Armada remained. Even though the floating island would gradually thaw due to the sunlight and the temperature of the seawater, the process would last for a long time, at least for half a month.

Thus, just like that, this black floating iceberg island, which covered an area of dozens of nautical miles, slowly drifted on the sea along with the current.

Before long, a merchant ship discovered the black floating iceberg island.

As the ice was slowly melting, the power of darkness inside also dispersed, causing the iceberg island to be covered in a thin layer of black mist. Black represented inauspiciousness and mysteriousness, so the merchant ship did not dare to approach the floating island. The sailors on the ship could only observe the island carefully through spyglasses.

When they realized that this floating island was actually made up of warships, the sailors were stunned. They recognized these ships from the Invincible Armada and saw the Spanish soldiers that were frozen into ice sculptures. Together with the news that the Invincible Armada had appeared on the Caribbean Sea some time ago, they immediately realized what happened.

Even the Spanish Invincible Armada was annihilated by that demon!

Although it was only a part of the Invincible Armada, people did not care that much. After the merchant ship reached shore, the news spread like the wind throughout the Caribbean.

Currently, only normal trading merchant ships were safe on this sea where the demon roamed. Many people risked their lives to get on merchant ships to take a look at this floating island. There were also some pirates among them. But the owners of the merchant ships firmly rejected the pirates because they were afraid the demon would retaliate against them for carrying pirates.

In fact, many merchants were now very worried that pirates would pretend to be merchant ships to head out to sea, which would cause normal merchant ships to be attacked by the demon on the Caribbean Sea routes in the future. Therefore, the merchants united to put pressure on the pirates so that they could find the murderers as soon as possible and hand them over to the demon.

As more and more people witnessed the black floating island and learned of the true reason for the destruction of the Invincible Armada from various channels, people became more and more fearful. This floating iceberg island was just like an ancient tomb that showcased the achievements of Demon Osiris to the world. The impact on people’s hearts was unimaginable.

Even the Church of Spain, which had mobilized so many priests and members of the Inquisition, could not suppress this demon. How powerful was this demon?! Thus, people prayed, hoping that the Lord would send an archangel to eliminate this demon. They kept telling others about the horrors of Demon Osiris, and they believed that Demon Osiris was a disaster. It was precisely because of the savage and evil pirates that caused this disaster. Some even believed that Demon Osiris was heavenly punishment from the Lord. The Lord believed that the pirates could no longer be redeemed, so he allowed the demons to reap their souls! In short, Roy’s demon name had reached a stage where he could stop children from crying in the Caribbean… Although it sounded a little old-fashioned, it was the truth. The name of Demon Osiris was one of the ways that many mothers used to threaten brats.

It went like this: “You still dare to cause trouble?! If you continue to cause trouble, Demon Osiris will come and take your soul away!”

Whenever Jack Sparrow heard this, he sighed.

Yes, Captain Jack Sparrow did not die. Although he was misfortunate and unlucky all along the way, he still managed to survive and reach land. He also realized his constant bad luck during this period of time might have something to do with the gold he obtained from Demon Osiris. So to prevent himself from dying of bad luck, Jack Sparrow quickly spent the gold the moment he came ashore.

He did not use gold to buy a ship. For pirates, when they had a large sum of money, the first thing they needed to do was to indulge in debauchery. Jack Sparrow was no exception because he was also a pirate. To him, if he wanted a ship, he could get one by scamming others. But with money, he had to buy rum…

As one of the limited number of people in this world who had interacted with Roy, Jack Sparrow naturally understood that this demon named Osiris had really done what he said. Now, all the people in the entire Caribbean would tremble in fear at the mention of the name Osiris. They were completely dominated by the fear brought by this name, especially the pirates. The most vicious insults and curses toward their opponents were ‘May Osiris take away your damned soul!

Jack Sparrow had been staying in Tortuga Port during this time, and he did not dare to go out to sea again. He felt that if he went out to sea, he might run into the demon again… Jack Sparrow had thought it through. The last time he could come back alive was probably because the demon wanted him to bring the gold back to shore.

That demon wanted to let this gold with the curse of misfortune spread in the human world…

Every time he thought of this, Jackson shuddered in fear. He had to admit that when he thought about how he had almost cut off one of his arms to get more gold, his back was drenched in cold sweat.

Jack Sparrow was really frightened!

After being a pirate for so many years, Jack Sparrow was considered an experienced and knowledgeable person. But he felt that the dangers he encountered in the past were simply nothing compared to this demon!

Not only was this demon powerful, but he also knew how to make use of people’s greed. Jack Sparrow also knew that many pirates had seen his unrestrained spending in Tortuga Port. He merely wanted to spend this gold of misfortune as soon as possible, but no one else knew!

He was certain that once these pirates who coveted his wealth used force to snatch his gold, he, who was alone and had no subordinates, would be able to resist a few pirates, but he would definitely not be able to resist more than a hundred pirates! If he wanted to live, he had to hand over all the gold he had.

Then, some pirates who were not satisfied would think that he had found a treasure and would try to find out the origin of the gold from him…

This kind of plot was all too common among pirates. With just a bit of imagination, Jack Sparrow was able to think of the subsequent plot, so he felt that he should not pretend to be great and try to hide this information. Even if he did not say it, there would be other lucky or unlucky people who would exchange for gold from that demon. At that time, there would also be greedy people who would restrain their fears, and they would look for that demon to exchange for gold, just like moths flying into a flame.

Since that was the case, he might as well be straightforward and share this information with others…

So, when he happened to get drunk in a tavern, Jack Sparrow told the story about his encounter with Demon Osiris.

When they found out about this, the people in the tavern were first stunned, then they were shocked.

This news quickly spread, leaving countless people tossing and turning all night long, unable to sleep. On the one hand, they were afraid of Demon Osiris; on the other, they were greedy for gold and wealth. They wanted to go out to sea to search for the Frozen Ghost Ship and exchange for gold with Demon Osiris, but they were also afraid that Demon Osiris would kill them and seize their souls. So much so that they constantly hesitated and struggled. Before they could even see Demon Osiris, they were already suffering from strong mental torture…

A poor painter drew the image of Demon Osiris on paper.

In this painting, the background was a black ice island. On the ice island were countless twisted human ice sculptures, and in the sky were black hexagonal snowflakes. A ferocious-looking demon was floating in the air, his wings covering the sky. In his left hand was a hideous skull, and in his right was an apple.

The skull symbolized the fear he brought to the people of this world, and the apple represented the temptation…

Obviously, this painter had never seen Demon Osiris before, but his painting was widely believed to be the true image of Demon Osiris. Even later, in the holy scriptures of the various religions of this world, when they recorded the incident of Demon Osiris, this painting was included and passed down in the world.

Roy did not know about these following events. After leaving the floating iceberg island, Roy brought Cassandra and Fat Tiger to find an uninhabited island in the Caribbean Sea to stay.

He did not make another Frozen Ghost Ship. This time, he planned to build a fixed base and wait for people to hand over Cassandra’s enemies, the pirate murderers.

Roy knew that people would definitely do so after experiencing the tragic defeat of Pirate Lord Ammand and the destruction of the Spanish Invincible Armada. Roy did not know who the murderers were, but pirates had connections with other pirates. The pirates would find out which the pirate crew did it sooner or later. With the fear Roy brought rooted in the hearts of the pirates, he did not need to seek them. In order to calm Roy’s anger, the pirates would voluntarily offer the murderers…

Now, he just needed to wait…
