Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 66: Untitled

“Let’s meet up with Fat Tiger first!”

After resting for a while, Roy’s magic energy was almost fully restored, so he activated the Teleport skill on the spot.

Light started shining on his body, and then Roy turned into a ray of light and disappeared. The principle of this skill was somewhat similar to the teleportation of the Gates of the Abyss, and the feeling of transforming into light was exactly the same.

...

On a small hill, Fat Tiger was happily enjoying his prey. It was a very strong wild boar, and it was also Fat Tiger’s first time catching prey like this. It was quite fierce, and Fat Tiger had taken some effort to catch it. As he learned from his master, Fat Tiger spit out flames from his mouth to roast the wild boar. A strong aroma filled the air, making his three heads bite down eagerly.

Fat Tiger was immediately conquered by the delicious taste!

“Aw!” (Delicious)

“Woo!” (Extremely)

“Woof!” (Indeed)

There was no such creature in the Abyss. Be it demons or monsters, their flesh and bones had a thick sulfur taste that was disgusting even roasted. Now that he had tasted this wild boar, Fat Tiger immediately fell in love with it.

Just as Fat Tiger was happily eating away, a pillar of light suddenly appeared beside him, startling Fat Tiger. He immediately jumped out, bared his teeth, and growled with threat.

However, a familiar voice came. “Don’t worry, Fat Tiger. It’s me!”

Upon hearing the familiar voice and smelling the familiar smell, Fat Tiger’s expression immediately changed. All three heads stuck out their tongues, and he started wagging his tail with all his might.

As soon as Roy appeared, Fat Tiger immediately moved closer and rubbed against Roy’s feet. Roy squatted and rubbed his three heads, causing him to jump around happily.

“Oh, you’ve got something good!” Roy smelled the aroma of meat and turned his head to look at the roasted wild boar. His eyes sparkled as he stretched out his hand to pull off a boar hoof and bit into it.

“The heat control wasn’t good! But the taste is still all right!” Roy swallowed the meat and sighed with satisfaction. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had pork!”

As a demon, he needed to eat as well. But in the Abyss, there was no rice nor braised pork belly. After a while, Roy almost forgot the taste of these foods. He did not expect to taste it now. Moreover, he tasted it after getting rid of the contract with Xeron, so Roy was very satisfied now. Fat Tiger sure was considerate and even knew how to celebrate with his master.

One demon and one dog immersed themselves in munching on the food, and soon, a four-hundred-kilogram boar was eaten into a pile of bones.

After spitting out the last bone in his mouth, Roy looked around and asked Fat Tiger, “What about your subordinates?”

Fat Tiger could understand what Roy said but could not speak, so he pressed his tail between his legs and ran. Roy immediately understood. “Oh, they ran away?”

Fat Tiger nodded while wagging his tail.

“Is it because Xeron’s death caused the demon contracts to collapse?” Roy guessed. After all, demons usually would not obey any orders after losing the restraint of the contract. It was normal for them to escape. Although Fat Tiger was leading the group, he really could not order these demons.

“Then, did you run into any enemies?” Roy asked Fat Tiger.

Fat Tiger shook his three heads, waving them left and right at the same time. Their synchronous movements made Roy want to laugh.

It seemed like the elves had focused on Xeron. Fat Tiger and the rest had been transporting the siege equipment and had separated from the main force, but the elves did not attack and destroy the siege equipment.

Actually, come to think of it, the elves had sent three heroes to surround Xeron, so how could they still give him the opportunity to attack cities? Without being able to attack cities, the siege equipment posed no threat. Fat Tiger had only brought along a few dozen hellhounds, and it would have been a little too ludicrous for them to specially come to exterminate this small group.

After Roy and Fat Tiger’s conversation, Roy discovered that Fat Tiger had been leading the hellhounds at a slow speed. Although they had encountered some wild beasts on the way, they had not encountered any elven forces. After Xeron died, the hellhounds abandoned the siege equipment and scattered, and Fat Tiger followed them. However, Fat Tiger left them after receiving Roy’s telepathy.

Fat Tiger walked along the route that he came from, in the direction to the demon city. Had it been Roy, he would have been lost because he could not remember the way. But because Fat Tiger had a sensitive sense of smell, he could clearly find the return route. This was why Roy teleported to Fat Tiger. Roy would be unable to find the demon city without this little guy.

Fat Tiger was constantly growing, and Roy would feed him extra souls, so Fat Tiger’s attributes were now much higher than when he was just born. And his fighting prowess was already much stronger than that of the real hellhounds, meaning that Fat Tiger was also a qualified top-low-rank demon.

After understanding the situation, Roy used his nails to draw on the ground.

He roughly marked the location where Xeron encountered the ambush and the location where the dragons killed him after he escaped. He then calculated the approximate location of Fat Tiger’s support unit. Finally, he came to the conclusion that he and Fat Tiger might still be in the ambush encirclement of the elves.

Roy estimated that the elves had used two weeks to set up the plan to ambush Xeron, which was when Xeron had asked for reinforcements from Rashka. After such a long time, the elves’ range of movement had already become very large, and they should have cut off Xeron’s troops coming from the rear, causing Xeron to have no reinforcements. Fat Tiger and the others were escorting the siege equipment, which was between the main force and reinforcements. After Xeron died, although Fat Tiger ran back a considerable distance, not much time had passed since then, and it was unlikely enough for him to have run out the elves’ ambush encirclement.

In that case, Roy and Fat Tiger would have to be careful when moving around. They might even encounter elven patrols still in the vicinity.

Small-scale patrol units would be no problem. Given Roy’s current strength, plus Fat Tiger, they could easily escape as long as the enemies numbered less than two hundred and did not have any powerful high-level soldiers. If possible, Roy did not want to escape. On the contrary, he planned to attack these patrols.

Since it was a rare chance for Roy to have come to this world, after losing the restraint of the demon contract, Roy was not in a rush to return to the Abyss. He rarely saw demons in groups in the Abyss, so how could it be as efficient as obtaining souls in this world?

He had consumed all the souls he had obtained, and Roy wanted to make a ‘beacon’ and leave it in this world, so he certainly had to think of ways to get some souls.

Originally, the best way to make a beacon was to use your own soul fragment to make a demon creation. This way, he could easily locate this world through the special connection between his soul and the soul fragment. However, Roy had seen many soul fragments since he was reborn, so he was very clear about the disadvantages that using his soul fragment would have. If he left a soul fragment in this world, what if someone discovered the demon creation, sensed the demon aura in it, and destroyed the soul fragment?

Not only would his beacon be gone, but Roy would also be injured. It would be a huge loss.

Therefore, Roy would not easily use his own soul fragments, let alone allow the soul fragments to flow out. Other demons might need to split their soul into fragments, but Roy had the system, so he could use it to create this beacon. Why should he split his soul?

“Let’s go, Fat Tiger!” Roy called out to Fat Tiger after sorting out his thoughts.
