Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 147 Achieving High-Rank Demon

The condensed and concentrated magic power was continuously and quickly flowing and retracting through the magic power nodes in his body.

Roy was now in a city park, but the originally beautiful scenery of this park was long gone. There was only a thick layer of black ashes on the ground, which was formed by carbonized plants that the wind had blown here. In addition to the black ashes, the original lake in the park was now only a big basin-like pit.

Roy was now sitting at the bottom of this big pit. He was squatting on the ground, his long tail behind him, his pair of demon wings retracted behind him. His entire body remained motionless as he concentrated on compressing the last bit of magic power he had left.

Every time he compressed magic power, Roy’s demon heart would beat very fast. And this time, perhaps it was because of the terrain, the sound of his heart beating was louder than usual. Roy could hear the thumping sounds echoing in the entire pit at the bottom of the lake.

His magic power stretched out and immediately shrank back. Every time he repeated this process, Roy could feel his magic power condensing a little. During this period of time, Roy had been constantly repeating this process, and his magic power had become more and more condensed.

After about three hours, Roy’s body suddenly moved. He spread his hand, took out the canteen of well water from the Well of Souls from the system space, and then raised his head to drink it.

The sparkling blue liquid slid down his throat, and Roy threw the canteen aside before completing his final magic power compression!

After he completely compressed all his magic power, Roy’s body began to change the next moment, as though some kind of signal had spread throughout his body!

First was his demon heart. Roy could feel some things seeming to grow on his heart. These things gave him the feeling that they were extremely tough threads that intertwined and interweaved with each other, completely surrounding and protecting his heart like a net.

With the formation of this protection, Roy could clearly feel that his heart seemed to have become stronger and more powerful…

The change in his heart was only the first step. The next changes were all around. Roy’s muscles began expanding all over, his weight was rapidly increasing, and his bones made cracking sounds as he grew taller.

These changes were very similar to when he promoted to middle-rank demon. It seemed that the body of demons would more or less change every time they promoted.

Roy spread his hands and found that his fingers had become a little longer, and his nails had become harder and longer. He grew taller, and his body grew bigger. Even the tail behind him had become much thicker, and some additional sharp spikes had grown near the end!

These changes had happened in a short amount of time, so Roy’s skin was now lacerated and bloody.

At the same time, a strange feeling came from the shoulder blade on his back. It was extremely itchy, and two bumps bulged out on his back, as though something was about to break through his flesh. Roy gritted his teeth and endured it at first, but afterward, he could no longer bear it and could not help roaring loudly! With his roaring, a pair of demon wings covered in blood and mucus extended from Roy’s back!

F*ck! Why did a pair of wings grow out again?! Roy ignored the pain and turned to look behind him in surprise.

However, he soon realized that these newly-born demon wings should be the wings that grew normally. They were the symbols of his frost demon bloodline promoting to high-rank demon, and his previous pair of demon wings were nothing more than his modification through the system!

As the blood and mucus evaporated in the hot air, Roy’s newly-born demon wings became much drier and cleaner. Roy tried to flap them and found that the new wings were very powerful.

Not only that, but after a while, Roy found that the air around the newly-born pair of demon wings began to form a faint white cold aura and become denser. And the original pair of demon wings began to emit black mist!

The new ones were a pair of frost wings! And the original pair became dark wings!

This change was something that Roy had not expected before. He currently had two elemental powers, one was the power of frost, and the other was the power of darkness. But in the magic power in his body, these two powers fused together. Unexpectedly, when he advanced to high-rank demon, they appeared separately on the two pairs of demon wings!

This way, Roy became a four-winged demon…

The changes were still not over. But this time, it was his demon horns. Roy could hear the sound of the demon horns growing on his forehead. His pair of demon horns seemed to have been pulled out by invisible hands, constantly growing and becoming thicker, turning into a huge ‘U’ shape that rose into the sky.

After growing again, Roy’s demon horns had lengthened to more than sixty centimeters, and the color of the demon horns became pitch-black. In short…

Huge! Thick! Black! Hard!

Similar to wings, the shape and size of demon horns were also symbols of the power of demons. The thicker and harder the demon horns were, the higher the rank of the demon, and the stronger they were.

At the same time, the pressure that vaguely appeared during his promotion process earlier gushed out of Roy’s body, seemingly substantial…

The entire process of changes lasted for a long time, and this rapid growth definitely caused extremely intense pain. When it finally stopped, Roy’s body was covered in dried blood and lumps of mucus. He was panting heavily, and his entire face had yet to recover from the distorted expression.

He stretched out his claw, wiped his face, and grabbed a lot of small blood clumps. It was the blood that oozed out of his skin when the demon horns grew. After discovering this, Roy had to wipe a few more times, but he found that his vision was still a bit blurry.

Roy picked up a stone on the ground and could see some strange light emitting from it. It was these light rays that made him feel that his vision was blurry.

“What’s going on?” Roy was a little stunned. He looked around and found that everything that appeared in his vision had such strange lights.

What surprised Roy the most was that he could not only ‘see’ these light rays, but he could even feel them. Moreover, this feeling was in all directions, even places that he could not see, such as behind him, under his feet, and so on.

“No way!” Roy closed his eyes but found that he could still feel these objects and that the range was very vast. He could not help but say to himself in surprise, “Did I awaken the Observation Haki?!”

He hurriedly opened the system interface and checked his attributes. Roy found that the system attribute interface clearly showed that his rank had become high-rank demon. His attributes, such as strength, speed, activity, and so on, had increased quite a bit. His appearance in the system had also become a four-winged demon, and finally, he found two new abilities in the skill column! Radiation Perception and Desolate Virus!

Upon careful examination, Roy realized that these new abilities were probably due to the well water from the Well of Souls and the mutations in his body!

Because the city had suffered a nuclear strike and Roy had been exposed to intense radiation, his body had mutated like the other surviving demons to adapt to this intense radiation environment. And at that time, Roy began his promotion, broke through, and drank well water from the Well of Souls. This well water with special powers not only strengthened his soul but also gave him special abilities during the mutation process.

Radiation Perception was a special sensing technique. All objects in the natural world would constantly transmit heat in the form of electromagnetic waves and particles as long as their temperature was above absolute zero. This transmission of energy was known as radiation. What Roy felt through this ability was the radiation emanating from objects. Through this radiation, Roy could clearly discern the size, temperature, and so on of the objects.

Now that he had just obtained this ability, Roy was still not used to it, so everything he saw was relatively blurry. However, once he could control it accurately, it would become much better. With this ability, Roy would be able to detect and sense all things and objects within his perception range, and there would be nowhere to hide.

The ability of the Desolate Virus was even more special. According to the system’s explanation, it was because a portion of the Magic Power Virus in Roy’s body had mutated after being exposed to radiation. Originally, the Magic Power Virus could only absorb magic power, but after this mutation, this portion of the virus actually had strong radiation energy.

In other words, as long as Roy froze the ground, this frozen ground would also have a strong radiation effect. Being exposed to this strong radiation would cause fatal damage to living creatures… This was the meaning of desolate, the kind where nothing could grow! Of course, this strong radiation was not permanent. Once the radiation energy of the Desolate Virus in the frost ran out, the virus would die. After all, it could not survive too long after leaving Roy’s body.

After figuring out these situations, Roy rejoiced. In any case, the abilities brought about by these mutations had developed in a good direction. His current combat strength could be said to have reached a new level.

Roy flapped his four wings and flew into the sky. Under the dark night sky, he flew excitedly and burst out his magic power freely!

No matter where he flew, there would be two trails of white and black in the sky behind him, triggering a large-scale meteorological phenomenon, causing black snow and icicles to fall from the sky…

The two elemental powers of frost and darkness were already material in his body. Although he had just promoted to high-rank demon, Roy was undoubtedly one of the stronger ones. After all, those with cheats were different…
