Custom Made Demon King

Panda Novel

Of course, it was impossible for Roy to jump into the magma. However, he did not intend to bathe in it from the beginning!

He was merely a newborn little demon, and he certainly could not match up with a demon like Araniya. However, he had his advantages as well—his small body and light weight.

As a result, he left Araniya dumbfounded when he jumped onto the rock!

Would she dare to continue chasing onto the rock with her tank-sized body?

That was no different from suicide…

Araniya stomped her spider legs angrily on the ground as she watched Roy flow steadily downstream atop the rock.

She really could not figure out if this little demon was lucky or if he planned this method of escape from the beginning. If it was the latter, then this little demon was a little scary. He was not born that long ago, yet he was as cunning as an old demon. How could a demon with such intellect be only a low-rank demon?

No, my soul fragments are still in his hands. He'll definitely eat them if I let him go like this, causing huge damage to my soul.

1Seeing her clones catch up, Araniya gritted her teeth and directed them to the shore.

Jump! Everyone jump!

2Araniya did not dare to jump herself, but the much smaller spider demons could. However, if they were to perish in the magma, Araniya similarly would not be able to recover her soul fragments on them.

However, she was now blinded by rage. She could not imagine that she actually ate a loss at the hands of a little demon. She wanted to kill Roy even if it meant losing her soul fragments.

However… would Roy not think of things that she could think of?

This rock floating on the magma was not too big, only able to hold Roy and without other space on it. In such a situation, there was only one place the spider demons could land, so Roy waved his tail and hit them away, making them fall into the magma.

In the end, after just a few were flung in such a manner, Araniya did not dare to get the demon spiders to throw themselves at him again. She was not dumb and could see how suicidal this action was.

"Despicable little bug!" Helpless, Araniya began attacking verbally. But her vocabulary was clearly lacking, so she repeatedly called Roy this name. "How long can you hide? You won't be able to come ashore as long as I follow you, and then you will be carried by the lava river into the lower levels of the Abyss. There, you will encounter even more powerful demons. They can all easily crush you with a finger!"

Roy was stunned. There are indeed lower levels in this world. And it sounds like the indigenous demons call this underground world the Abyss.

Is the end of this lava river flowing deeper into it?

Of course, Roy could not just continue flowing like this. But after saying this, Araniya followed Roy along the riverbank. Roy turned his head and saw that the riverbank was still rather far away. This lava river was much wider than he estimated with his eyes. It was at least four to five meters away from the opposite riverbank and impossible for him to jump over.

Although he wanted to use this rock as a boat, Roy could not find anything that he could use as a paddle. Moreover, an ordinary paddle would probably instantly melt in this lava…

Therefore, Roy looked like he was trapped.

Araniya scoffed when she saw Roy's hesitation.

However, before she finished laughing, she saw Roy patting the back of his head and then using his claw to gesture in the air.

What is this damn little bug doing? Araniya was baffled.

How could I forget that I have a lot of soul fragments? Roy thought while sitting on the rock. He summoned the system interface and saw that he had actually obtained about fifty soul fragments. If these soul fragments originate from Araniya's soul, perhaps they can be used?

If they can be used, then I might get out of trouble!

With this thought, Roy immediately began to draw.

This time, Roy drew a pair of wings, a pair of demon wings!

4If he could not jump or swim over, then he could only fly over. Thus, Roy's first thought was to make a pair of wings for himself. However, he had no idea if the soul fragments he possessed were enough, so he did not dare to make the wings too big or set any complicated definitions.

He had only one definition for the demon wings: Flight!

But when he tried to materialize it, Roy found that it would not work! There were not enough souls! It could only complete up to 80%, even though it was the same material as his body's.

Roy had a headache. He also discovered that the system would not display the specific value for each soul. Similarly, there was no clear indication of how many souls it needed for each defined attribute, and it would only show the completion percentage when he was about to save, which required Roy to estimate the number required.

2Roy guessed that the Flight attribute might require some strength in the wings itself. After all, it was necessary to offset his own weight to be able to fly, and it was impossible for a pair of wings without strength. This was probably why the wings could not materialize.

Roy gave it some thought and changed the defined attribute to Glide!

It was immediately successful!

This gave Roy the feeling of being like in a wingsuit. Humans might not be able to make it flap and fly, but they could spread the suit and glide with the wind…

Roy was still four to five meters away from the other side of the river. As long as his control was good, it was not impossible for him to cross the river by gliding.

Since that's settled, let's materialize it!

On the shore, Araniya was still wondering what Roy was doing, but right at that moment, she felt a great pain coming from her soul!

The severe pain coming directly from the soul was indescribable. Araniya's entire body was trembling, and terrible cries came from her mouth. The connection between the soul fragments and her main soul was suddenly severed, making her understand that Roy was devouring her soul fragments!

The strange thing was that she did not even see Roy taking out her soul fragments to devour them. Just how did he do it?!

1Araniya's huge body was now lying on the ground. She raised her head reluctantly to look at Roy on the rock and found his body trembling as well.

However, his trembling was different because Araniya could see very clearly that two bumps suddenly arched out from Roy's back!

The two bumps broke out of their wall while Roy trembled. The next moment, a pair of dark-red demon wings appeared!

Araniya was shocked by this scene…

Demon wings?! Real demon wings! Could this damn little bug actually have the bloodline of a high-rank demon?!

6Impossible. If he really has the bloodline of a high-rank demon, why would he appear in the upper level of the Abyss?

1Araniya's doubt was normal. In the Abyss of the Demon World, bloodline was the most essential condition for evaluating demons. The low-rank demons usually had mixed bloodlines, and such demons were usually born from an egg. They would not even have the concept of parents. The male low-rank demons did not care at all, while the female low-rank demons would directly send their eggs to the upper world after laying them, putting them in the Demon Sea to allow the seawater to push these eggs to places where they could hatch all over. Such places were islands where volcanoes exist, and the hot volcanic rock bed would incubate and hatch the eggs. Almost all of the low-rank demons were born this way.

However, it was different for the middle-rank and high-rank demons whose bloodline was purer. Although some of the middle-rank demons might be hatched from eggs, quite a number of them had live births. All of the high-rank demons had live births, and this method of giving birth also led to a scarcity of high-rank demons. As a result, the high-rank demons placed importance on their offspring and educated them from birth.

The indication of purity of bloodline depended on whether or not the demon possessed demon wings…

Unlike the elytra wings of insect demons, Roy's wings had now transformed into the form of real demon wings. It was no wonder that Araniya would be puzzled. After all, the pure-blooded demons who possessed demon wings were extremely rare in the upper level of the Abyss…

In Araniya's shocked eyes, Roy tried to flap his wings. The wings looked small, and the wingspan was not large enough, but he was able to control it freely. Roy faced the other side of the river and squatted on the rock to start accumulating power!

He concentrated all his strength on his legs and even bent his tail against the rock. After he finished accumulating power, Roy slammed his legs and tail with great force and bounced up from where he was!

1The jump brought him high up into the sky. Roy fully extended his demon wings while thinking of rushing to the other side of the river!

At this moment, the hot current from the lava river gave him a lot of buoyancy, allowing him to glide smoothly toward the other side of the river. However, Roy kept descending because he was gliding. Finally, he used his claws to grip the cliff at the other side over the river and landed his feet firmly on it, plastering his body against the cliff!

It could not count as a perfect landing, but Roy was overjoyed, finding himself out of danger!

Roy turned around, waved at Araniya across the river, and then tried to say his first few words with the demon language.

"Fare! Well!"

Yes, it doesn't seem too difficult to learn the mother tongue of the demon race…

Roy gathered his wings behind him and left under Araniya's stunned gaze…
