Chapter 250 Competition is Omnipresent

Roy was a demon. To this world, he was just an outsider, so it was naturally impossible for him to understand too much about Ashan. Among the various books brought out from Ulambus, most of the records were strange. Everything had to be linked to the Dragon Gods, and it seemed that only in this way would they appear compelling, making Roy unable to distinguish whether they were true or false.

On the other hand, Giovanni, a native vampire who had lived for hundreds of years, could see more clearly. Be it the Dragon of Order, Asha, or the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash, or even the Six Elemental Dragons, they might have indeed existed in this world before, but their myths were already long remote. Now, only the intelligent species here were performing the history of the Ashan world. The dragon gods might have left some of their powers behind, but it was definitely not much. And with the passage of time, these powers were dying out more and more.

In Giovanni’s opinion, if that spectral dragon were really the power that Asha had bestowed on Arantir, then would it not mean that Arantir, who controlled the Death Incarnation, was really the Death God? A Death God was definitely immortal. If Arantir were truly so powerful, then he could have directly unified the entire world of Ashan…

In fact, in recent years, with the long-term research of the mages of Bracada, who did not believe in gods, some people thought that the demons in this world were not descendants of the Dragon of Chaos, Urgash. As people understood more and more about demons, they discovered that many demons not only came from the demon lair of Sheogh, but also from a place called the ‘Abyss’, which should be another world. If demons were really descendants of Urgash, how should this Abyss be explained? So there was gradually a saying that the Dragon of Chaos did not create demons. He only opened a gate to the Abyss and contacted those demons…

As a result, even creatures like angels and titans were being questioned. But this argument was very difficult to accept for people who believed in the dragon gods in this world, so it was quickly suppressed…

After getting the information he wanted to know, things became much simpler. Roy summoned a frozen chair and sat down on the spot. He said to Giovanni, “By cooperating with me, what do you want?”

However, Giovanni did not answer directly but asked cautiously, “Pardon me for being presumptuous, Your Excellency. From the direction you’re heading in, you seem to be wanting to go to the kingdom of Eeofol? So, are you a member of Sheogh?”

“No! My name is Osiris, from the Abyss!” Roy did not need to hide anything from him and directly told him his origin.

Giovanni might have expected this answer since he was not surprised, but it made him even more excited. According to his understanding of demons, demons from the Abyss were stronger demons, and some of the Abyss demons he encountered on the battlefield were often very troublesome existences.

And compared to the repulsion of the world’s consciousness toward external beings, the natives here did not mind. You had to know that the underground races from Nighon had even formed an alliance with demons, so when Giovanni faced Roy, he did not feel embarrassed at all about his actions.

“Your Excellency Osiris!” Giovanni called Roy’s name respectfully. “Are you going to Eeofol to join the demon army?” If a powerful demon like Osiris arrives at Eeofol, he will probably be able to gather an enormous demon army in an instant, right? Giovanni thought. He was very clear about the strict hierarchy of demons. He felt that as long as this demon named Osiris stood in Eeofol, the low-level demons would immediately prostrate under his armor..

“No!” What Giovanni did not expect was that Roy gave him an answer that surprised him. “On the contrary, I’m here to kill a demon this time, my enemy!”

“Um…” Giovanni was at a loss for words. Of course, he could still understand because demons were not so united themselves. He asked carefully, “Then, can I ask you who your enemy is?”

“Xeron! High-rank demon Xeron. Do you know anything about him?” Roy asked.

Hearing this name, Giovanni gasped and said in surprise, “Why… why is it him?” “What’s wrong?” Roy sneered. “Uh, no!” Giovanni hurriedly said. “I just didn’t expect it… Pardon my frankness, Your Excellency Osiris, if you’re really looking for Xeron, then your enemies are probably fairly powerful!”

“What do you mean?” Roy calmly leaned against his seat. In fact, he was quite curious. It had been a long time since he last came to this world. What was Xeron’s current situation?

Giovanni deliberated for a while before explaining, “Four years ago, when the demon army poured out and attacked Steadwick, the capital of Erathia, I heard that the AvLee elves and the dragons had stopped Xeron’s army. Xeron was beaten to death by the dragons, but the dragons failed to keep Xeron’s soul behind and let him escape… Not long later, he returned. After returning, he suffered some sort of stimulation and crazily assembled his army. Now, he’s already the strongest demon commander of Eeofol’s armies. Furthermore, he seems to have obtained the high regard and support of Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth. If he really is your enemy, then most of the demon kingdom is your enemy!”

“Really?” Roy could not help but frown. He really did not expect Xeron to be developing so well now.

Thinking back, when Roy first came to this world and Xeron led a demon army, the other high-rank demons who led armies were still on equal footing with him. In order to compete for souls, they secretly competed with each other. At that time, there was even a traitor named Zydar who did not obey orders at all. Unexpectedly, after so many years, Xeron had become the hottest figure in the demon army?

Moreover, judging from what Giovanni described, when his army was in deep alone, Xeron had been beaten up by the elves and dragons to the point of losing all his troops. In the end, he was killed by the dragons. It seemed that after this time, Xeron had some psychological trauma, so he expanded his army frantically and relied on a large number of troops to regain his sense of security…

Roy had initially thought of slowly inquiring information about Xeron after arriving in Eeofol. Now that he encountered Giovanni and obtained Xeron’s situation from him in advance, Roy had to make some changes.

Since Xeron had a powerful demon army protecting him, he could not rush in rashly. He had to build a powerful army. And just Cassandra’s undead army, even if there were some high-level undead, would not be enough.

After thinking about it, Roy made a decision and said to Giovanni, “Giovanni, although you haven’t said what you want, I can roughly guess. I can promise you that after I kill Xeron, I can help you rule the entire kingdom of Heresh. But before that, you have to show your sincerity to your collaborator!”

Giovanni was a little hesitant. After understanding Roy’s goal, he began to doubt if his decision was correct. Demon Xeron was also powerful. Now that the two powerful demons were fighting, it was hard to say who would win or lose. If the bet failed, he would lose everything Seeing Giovanni’s hesitation, Julia, who had been listening silently the entire time, snorted coldly. “Do you doubt our strength? Let me tell you, in front of you is a demon who is about to become a demon lord!”

Giovanni looked up in surprise and stared at Roy in disbelief, but Roy sat there expressionlessly without saying anything.

Giovanni certainly knew what a demon lord meant, but although he knew that Roy was powerful, he did not expect Roy to be so powerful…

“In… in that case, things will be easier!” Giovanni suddenly became excited. “If you’re determined to compete with Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth, you might want to attract more demons to join you! This way, forming a powerful army won’t be a problem.”

Roy’s heart stirred. “What do you mean?”

Giovanni explained, “Although Xeron is powerful, he also has competitors in the demon camp. But Xeron has the support of Kha-Beleth, so the other demon commanders can only suppress their ambitions.If an existence who covets the position of demon sovereign appears at this time, he might win the allegiance of these demon commanders and become able to oppose Kha-Beleth as equals.”

Roy understood. What Giovanni said might be like a battle between demon lords of the Abyss. Now, only Demon Lord Kha-Beleth was controlling the demons of Sheogh, so they had no choice. But if another demon lord appeared at this time, the demons would have a new side to join.

Of course, the premise was that Roy could really promote to demon lord in this world…

While Roy was thinking, Giovanni continued excitedly, “In addition to attracting other demons to join us, I can also contact other vampire lords. At that time, I may be able to obtain a large number of vampire troops. If you think of a way to assemble a gigantic undead army, you will be invincible…”

Before he had yet to see anything, Giovanni had already fallen into a beautiful fantasy. His blurry and greedy eyes seemed to have seen him ascend to the throne of Heresh and become the undead monarch…
