Chapter 294 Demon Life Is Like a Drama, Everything Depends on Acting Skills
This was… a demonstration!
Yes, Roy knew very well that as a foreign demon, if he wanted to attract attention, he had to show his strength!
Among demons, it was generally not feasible to act like a pig to eat a tiger. Demons would only recognize and respect those stronger than them. If you performed poorly, then what awaited you was disregard, contempt, and enslavement.
Clearly, Roy had achieved his goal. The high-rank demon heroes looked at Roy with retrained fear. They did not dare to show any anger at Roy’s arrogant ‘greeting’.
Even Xeron was surprised because he could feel that the magic power pressure that Roy released seemed to be slightly stronger than his…
Xeron sized Roy up and asked, “You Excellency, who are you?”
“My name is Osiris!” Roy replied. “And two of my followers, Fallen Angel Julia and Succubus Benia!”
As soon as he heard Roy’s name, Xeron was obviously startled, and his eyes narrowed.
Osiris was a name that Xeron would never forget. In the past hundreds of years, since he grew up from a little demon, he had never suffered such a big loss! He was a dignified elite high-rank demon, but he had been tricked by a low-rank demon and even died once.
This kind of stupid matter was impossible to conceal. It could be said that Xeron was now the laughing stock of the Abyss! The reason why he spared no effort to inquire about Roy in the Abyss was to wash away his humiliation.
The humiliation of demons could only be eliminated with the blood of enemies! If Xeron did not kill Demon Osiris, then other demons would use this to mock him for the rest of his life!
Just like now. When the high-rank demon heroes behind him heard Roy say his name, they could not help but be stunned for a moment before looking at Xeron strangely.
Is it just the same name? Xeron’s eyes gleamed as he looked at Roy. The demon claws under the cloak had already clenched into fists.
The name of demons came from when they were born. Their names were inherited from their parents and even from the previous generations, so the true names of demons were often very long. Under such circ.u.mstances, the chances of having the same ones were relatively high. When demons announced their names to the outside world, they would only use one of their names, which led to duplicate names.
This was why Xeron could not be certain. In his impression, that strange little demon Osiris had only been alive for a few years. Even if he did not die in the Abyss, he would only promote to middle-rank demon at best. Moreover, the power that Roy displayed now was seriously inconsistent with that little demon.
When Roy said his name, he did not deliberately look at Xeron. He looked indifferent as though he had never seen him before.
Seeing Xeron’s doubtful expression, Roy frowned and said unhappily, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem with my name? Why are you looking at me like this? Or have you heard my name before?”
“Okay, Demon Osiris…” Xeron returned to his senses. “Where do you come from? The Abyss? Who summoned you?”
Before Roy could answer, Grawl, who had not dared to say anything, finally seized the opportunity and introduced, “Your Excellency Xeron, Osiris is a demon who was sealed during the Elder Wars, and he escaped not long ago.”
“Really?” This statement stunned Xeron.
Grawl, a high-rank demon hero, had only joined the demon camp not long ago, and his status was not very high. Otherwise, Xeron would not have let him go out on patrols. It was precisely because he had not joined for long that Grawl did not know about Xeron’s foolish matter, unlike the demons behind Xeron, who had been with him for a long time. So after hearing Roy’s name, he did not have any reaction. Instead, he felt excited that he could bring back a powerful demon to help Xeron, so he deliberately mentioned Roy’s ident.i.ty, hoping to attract Xeron’s attention.
He was even looking forward to what kind of reward Xeron would give him…
At this moment, Roy opened his mouth. “I’ve been sealed for too long. If not for those stupid bookworm mages of Bracada, I might not have been able to escape from my predicament so quickly. So to thank them, I directly destroyed one of their cities after escaping. Right, that city seems to be called Ulambus. You can check it out.”
Hearing this, a demon hero behind Xeron was stunned for a moment before whispering into Xeron’s ear.
Xeron nodded while listening. From the narration of this demon hero, he knew that what Roy said was true. Although Xeron and his demon army had been holing up in Eeofol and had not gone out, they still had the corresponding intelligence collection. It was just a little slow. Roy had already destroyed Ulambus for a long time, but this information reached Eeofol not long ago.
“Although a long time has pa.s.sed, I’m still a demon, so after getting information about you in Ulambus, I crossed the Desert of Death and came to Eeofol!” Roy continued. “But I encountered a necromancer pestering me on the way, so when I walked out of the Desert of Death and reached Dendera Fortress at the border, I killed him and the defenders of Dendera!”
“What?! You destroyed Dendera Fortress?” a demon hero behind Xeron shouted in surprise. “Is what you said true?”
How could the demons in Eeofol not know about Dendera Fortress and Aglan Fortress? These two fortresses were firmly stuck at the northern exit of Eeofol. The demons had discussed more than once that the next time they wanted to invade the continent of Erathia, they had to get rid of these two fortresses first. But these two fortresses had numerous troops and solid defenses. It would not be easy for the demons to defeat them.
But now, they heard that Dendera Fortress had actually been settled?!
“Not only Dendera Fortress, but I also destroyed Aglan Fortress!” Roy lied through his teeth. Aglan Fortress was destroyed by the tide of frenzied zombie animals, but Roy did not hesitate to take the credit for himself.
The demons were even more surprised. Xeron asked doubtfully, “Is what you said true?”
“You can check!” Roy nodded affirmatively, but then he frowned. “But your intelligence is very backward. It’s just something that happened on the border. It’s been a few days, and you still don’t know?”
A demon hero said awkwardly, “We haven’t paid attention to the situation of those two fortresses during this time…”
Grawl stood out at this moment and nodded. “Indeed, Your Excellency Osiris. Just like when you met me, we’re being hara.s.sed by the dark elves and unable to divert our attention to inquire about the situation.”
“Then you don’t have to worry now!” Roy pretended to be annoyed, but then he said eagerly, “I’ve already destroyed these two fortresses. When will the next invasion start? I can’t wait to harvest souls!”
The group of demon heroes in the back looked at each other. Unexpectedly, this guy that’s also named Osiris is a war maniac…
During Roy’s conversation, Xeron did not say anything. To be honest, he was still a little puzzled, so he had been carefully observing Roy, wanting to find some familiar traces from him.
However, Roy’s appearance had changed from when he was a low-rank demon. His once fiery red skin had turned pale blue because of the awakening of the frost demon bloodline. Not only did the demon wings behind him become two pairs, but there were also many demon runes on them. It was absolutely impossible for Xeron to find the same parts as the low-rank demon Osiris in his impression.
Unless… unless Roy used Bloodl.u.s.t in front of him.
After all, Xeron had died under Roy’s Bloodl.u.s.t skill. He would always remember the red light s.h.i.+ning from the dragons and the screaming background music…
“Hey!” While Xeron was thinking, Roy suddenly said unhappily, “d.a.m.n it, who are you? I told you my demon name, but we don’t know each other. Do you have something against me?”
Xeron was a little speechless, but he still introduced himself. The demon heroes behind him also went forward and told Roy their names.
After getting to know one another, Roy asked, “Okay, Your Excellency Xeron, since you’re now the leader of the demon camp, how are you going to arrange me and my people?”
Xeron looked at Roy and the army behind him. The ordinary demons were easy to deal with, but not only was Roy a high-rank demon, he also brought many powerful existences. The colossal spectral dragon and the strange three-headed h.e.l.lhound made Xeron realize that this was a powerful army.
This made Xeron have to be cautious when making arrangements. With Roy’s strength, he had to give him a higher status. Otherwise, if Roy was unsatisfied, he might leave with his army. That would be a loss for the demons.
But at this moment, Xeron’s eyes landed on Benia behind Roy. He did not pay much attention to Roy’s introduction just now, but he suddenly remembered. He could not help but narrow his eyes. “Wait, your succubus is named Benia?!”
“That’s right!” Roy nodded. “She joined me when I attacked Dendera Fortress!”
“d.a.m.n it. Do you have a sister named Biara?!” Xeron glared at Benia. “That’s right!” Benia raised her chin proudly. “Biara is my sister. But you don’t have to worry. I’ll kill her soon enough!”
With Xeron’s reminder and Benia’s admission, the other demon heroes looked at Benia in surprise. Of course, they had heard Biara mention that she had a sister. Not long ago, Biara had secretly sent a piece of information to tell them that her sister had escaped and asked them to help find her and think of ways to kill her. The demon heroes did not take it to heart before, and they did not expect to encounter her here.
What made everyone most uncomfortable was that Benia had actually joined Demon Osiris!
In other words, if they accepted Demon Osiris, they had to accept Benia. But what if Biara came back and discovered this situation?
Both sides wanted to kill each other. Once a conflict occurred, it meant that they had to have a conflict with Osiris!
Internal strife! This term immediately appeared in the minds of the demon heroes. They all looked at Xeron, wanting to see what decision he would make…
