chapter 44: elite demon

High-rank demon?! He’s actually a high-rank demon?!

Roy had a vague guess before. Even a middle-rank demon could not have offset his Bloodlust effect with a single spell. But hearing for himself the other party acknowledging that he was a high-rank demon still left Roy in amazement.

Damn it, what bad luck. I didn’t expect a high-rank demon to summon a demon. If I had known, I wouldn’t have stepped into the magic formation and responded to the summon…

Roy was very clear of how high-level demons viewed the low-level ones. There were only two attitudes—kill or enslave. There were no other options. Roy did not have to look at the demon contract to know that it was an enslavement contract.

Roy did not want to become someone’s slave, even if the other party was a high-rank demon. Perhaps, in the eyes of other demons, it was a matter of course to submit to high-level ones, but Roy was an anomaly among demons. His mentality determined that he would never be willing to become enslaved.

He was preparing to take a gamble and fight this demon. Even if his soul suffered damage, Roy wanted to go back. Even if the other party was also a demon and an expert in playing with souls, as long as it was not an archenemy of demons like angels, he would not be able to break through the protection of the Ouroborus Mark on Roy’s soul.

The problem was that Roy could not do anything about Xeron’s magic. Xeron only needed to cast Weakness to negate Roy’s power. How could he fight under this circumstance? And from observing Xeron’s attitude, he seemed unwilling to kill him.

Roy could opt not to sign the contract, but then he would have to stay in this world for a year, and Xeron would most likely lock him up. What difference would that be from being imprisoned?

After thinking about it, there was only one method—activating the magic formation on his own to go back!

Therefore, while Xeron was still talking, Roy secretly placed his hand on the magic formation and attempted to input his magic energy to activate the teleportation formation. He recalled that it was possible to activate the summoning formation even with the weakest magic power.

However… nothing happened!

What’s wrong? Is it because there was no ritual, or is it a different kind of summoning ritual when a demon wants to send itself back??

Roy was still in dismay when Xeron sensed that Roy had attempted to input his magic energy. Xeron asked in a surprised tone, “You… can output magic power? Ah, yes, you have the bloodline of a high-rank demon, so it’s not surprising for you to have an output circuit, but…”

Xeron touched his demon horns with some doubts. “But when I activated the magic formation, it was meant to summon in the upper Abyss. How did you, a demon with a high-rank bloodline, end up in the upper Abyss?”

As he said that, he looked at the Fat Tiger in Roy’s arms. “And this hellhound, I have never seen a hellhound with demon wings… How peculiar! What kind of variant is this?”

There were too many mysteries on Roy. And although Xeron had doubts, he never doubted Roy’s identity because Roy similarly had the unique demonic aura that belonged to the Abyss of the Demon World. He would not be mistaken about this. So after some doubts, Xeron did not think much about it. Given how vast the Abyss was, was it not normal for there to be a few strange things? He decided to let the matter go and instead increasingly wanted to subdue Roy.

He felt that even though Roy was a low-rank demon, he was definitely an elite among them! There were similar examples before, and even demons of the same kind could have huge differences between them. Occasionally, a much stronger demon than the rest would be born, and these demons were known as the ‘elite demons’ among that rank.
