The black three-masted sailboat began to slow down and slowly approached a small dock by the Styx River. The captain walked to Fitch, and the tentacles under his mouth were twisting, and all the mucus stuck to his chest. He said respectfully: "Dear Dear Contract Demon, here."
Feiqi looked at his soul fire and knew that he was not lying, so he threw the spell book back. The transaction was completed, so he didn't need to say anything more. He jumped onto the simple dock by the river and left the black ship that had to continue advancing in Hellsty River.
"Thank you, the contract demon!" The man in full armor shouted at the devil's back, only for Feiqi to shake his head secretly. If he thought that the second devil in hell would treat him with the same attitude as Feiqi, then becoming a hell prayer is his unavoidable final fate.
Just like these prayers at the port, they still maintain their appearance and form when they were dying. It is obvious that they have just arrived in hell and are waiting to be transported here. Pain, fear and anxiety are written on their faces, and their bodies are covered with filth. The diseases and injuries they encountered before the last moment of their lives continue to torture them, but they will not cause death again. Most prayers can only crawl, and those who can stand before death can use their legs to move.
Two barb demons guarding these prayers at the docks. The serrated spear with barbs can bring them unbearable pain by just touching the prayers gently, and this is the beginning of the establishment of the hierarchical order in hell. Each prayer has determined their masters in hell before death, and most of the demons can tell by carefully looking at their souls. The reason why these prayers went to hell, either corrupted by the demons, or foolishly signed a contract with the devil, or acted according to some characteristic of the devil during their lifetime. Excessive greed, jealousy, hatred, or committed crimes that could lead to their own depravity. Each situation will leave a brand in their souls, thus determining their belongings after death.
The "freshly released" prayers need to be transformed to become the power that can be used in hell. The inferior demons collect these prayers everywhere in the first layer of hell, and hand them over to the barb demon, and then the barb demons bring them to the transformed place. What greets these prayers will be torture. The remaining memories of their life at this time will make the torture more efficient, thereby releasing more soul power. After the torture, the prayers will lose their memory and become a "standard unified" soul body. They can be used as currency, or transported to a specific place and converted into a devil.
"Where are these to be sent?" Feiqi came to the barbarian demon, raised his chin, and asked with a domineering attitude.
"Sir, we are waiting for the boat and sending it to the fifth floor along the Styx. These have been bought by Ice City."
"I happened to come from there." Feiqi narrowed his eyes: "What's going on in the first floor now? Are there any movements for the demons?"
"Sir, we don't know." The barbarian shaking the spear in his hand, hitting the squad beside him, and knocking it back into the queue. These squads always want to escape, but most of them can only crawl and never escape the pursuit of the barbarian. Another way to avoid torture is to jump into the Styx. The squads have nothing to lose except memory, so the squads will definitely wash away their memories. After losing memory, the torture squads produce soul power almost nothing, and can only be directly converted into a standard body. The squads who can work in the following layers are all this body.
"Make good use of these things and squeeze out their value." Feiqi instructed as a contract demon, and then asked: "Do you know where the recent conversion field of the Prayer? I am in need of fresh devil subordinates now."
"Sir, intelligence is valuable." A barbarian said with a smile.
Feiqi narrowed his eyes. He could indeed punish this barb demon, or use intimidation to exert pressure to make it surrender. However, these barb demons have superiors, so there is no need to provoke stronger devils. This is mainly the first level of hell, the front line of the devil's defense against demons, and there are many demons with strong combat power, and it is very difficult to destroy corpses.
A spirit coin is enough to solve this problem, and its value is far greater than that problem. "In that direction, you can see a battlefield by turning over the first hill. There is a blood pool on the east side of the battlefield. If you are fast enough, the work of creating new recruits should not be over yet."
Fitch nodded and went straight in the direction indicated by the barb demon. He walked through the shattered wasteland on the burnt soil, climbed up the mottled hills, and saw a dead battlefield. I don’t know how many, nor how many times, the devil and the demons confronted each other repeatedly, stepping on the corpses of their predecessors, and the new victims kept falling down. In this way, layers of layers were the eternal bloody battle.
The soil of hell absorbed countless killings and deaths, but it would never be satisfied. Feiqi walked into the battlefield area, and the touch of his feet told him that the soil here seemed to be breathing greedily, absorbing the vitality of life and soul from every inch of gap. There was never a survivor in the bloody battle, and the living side would never rescue those companions who could no longer recover themselves, nor would they let go of any enemy who had not yet died. This is hell, and mercy is far away from a hundred and eight thousand miles away.
The ground is covered with corpses, and the number of demons is about ten times that of the devil, so this is destined to be a tragic battle. The devils are well-trained and have strict discipline on the battlefield, but if they face twenty times the enemy rushes to death, then no matter how good the training and discipline is, they cannot be transformed into victory. With one against ten, and the ones who clean the battlefield are now inferior demons and barb demons, it at least means that the devil has won.
A bad demon suddenly squatted down and took something into the corpse. It quickly stuffed the found thing into its mouth. A barbarian demon discovered it, roared, and rushed over angrily. The bad demon quickly held something in both hands and presented it to the barbarian demon, but the devil had no habit of forgiveness, especially when the price given was not large enough and what was taken out was not his own property. The bad demon was penetrated by the spear, and his head was separated from his body. It squirted a few times and became a member of the corpse on the battlefield.
"Soul larva? Are you really bold, you dare to eat such important things?" The barb demon broke open the hand of the evil demon and found four or five centipedes with the length of white silkworms. It looked around and looked at it. After seeing Feiqi, his eyes lit up, and he carried a spear and ran over with big strides.
"Master Contract Demon, do you want a soul larva? You only need one spirit coin, these six are yours."
What are soul larvae? Feiqi can't find it in his memory. If the fork demon doesn't want him to know, then this thing is either not important to the fork demon's plan, or it is very important and has an hindrance - so Feiqi decided to buy them. He put on a shrewd expression and said to the barb demon: "Do you think the price you offer is fair? I look very ordinary in these soul larvae!"
"Sir, the battle has just ended for half a day, and these soul larvae are very fresh. Whether it is used to make up for the lack of souls to make the prayer more valuable, or to become a low-end servant devil, they are all the best. Why not do this? I will find another one, and it's okay to have seven?"
"It's OK? You can hear that you are an ambitious barb demon who wants to master the initiative. I appreciate your determination to advance upward." Feiqi took out a spiritual coin and said, "I don't want the seventh one. The number six is ​​lucky for me. Go and find me something suitable for the soul larvae."
"Of course, no problem." The barbarian took the coin and immediately went to search the corpse, and soon came over with a leather pocket. Feiqi noticed that it secretly swallowed three soul larvae while searching on the ground, and then deliberately lowered its head to conceal its happy and joyful appearance - of course this could not escape Feiqi's entire domain vision. Then, its soul core became stronger,
Put six souls into a bag and carry them on their body, and then asked the location of the blood pool. Feiqi could confirm that the previous barbarian demon did not deceive him. Through the battlefield full of blood and mud, he acquired twenty soul larvae from the other waves of barbarian demons who cleaned the battlefield. Feiqi finally saw the blood pool.
The blood "pool" is a small lake, located in the low-lying area of ​​the battlefield. The breath of hell is particularly strong here, and the power of evil and order overflows, forming a faint red mist that spreads over the pool of blood. The blood pool is near the shore, and a pillar made of hundreds of skulls is soaked in the blood. The white bones and dark hollow eye sockets exude an atmosphere of fear. A bone demon stood opposite the skull pillar, directing the barb demon to escort a team of prayers and drive them to the pool water with a spear.
The Bone Demon is at the same level as the Contract Demon, and belongs to different forms of devil giants of the same class. The Contract Demon goes to the world to deceive the soul into depravity, while the Bone Demon achieves the same goal through killing. Because it focuses on combat, the Bone Demon is much taller than the Contract Demon, like a skeleton of a velociraptor with insect wings. It has claws as sharp as razors, and its slender and barb-like tail is ready to inject toxins at any time.
Seeing the contract demon approaching, the bone demon turned his head and said viciously: "Wait for the back, I will do it here first."
"No problem." Feiqiba had to look at it for a while: "I'm just standing here and not disturbing you."
"A very sensible contract demon." The bone demon shook his tail and drew a line on the ground, as if it was a "waiting line". Then it urged the barb demon to work as soon as possible, so the barb spear whipped hard, and the prayers were pushed and fell into the pool of blood.
"Let's go down, lie in!" The barbarian pounded Qibinger's head to make sure that their whole body was soaked with the blood pool. Then, the bone demon took out a handful of soul larvae from his skin pocket, crushed it with his hand bones, and squeezed out black and green juice to sprinkle it on the blood pool. "The great Lord of Hell, the new slave has been ready to set out to achieve the great cause of conquest and rule. Please let them be reborn from the blood pool! Make them strong and powerful, make them smart and cunning enough! And most importantly, make them evil and obey orders!"
Feiqi narrowed his eyes and observed, and found that it was very similar to an enhancement ceremony. It was not a goddess' enhancement ceremony, but a devil enhancement ceremony that used the power of hell's blasphemy. Although there were no obvious runes, the surrounding energy fluctuations gave Feiqi a particularly familiar feeling.
Through the Contract Demon, Feiqi found that the souls of those prayer were being consumed in large quantities, and a large part of them were absorbed by the skull column and the blood pool. After that, the prayer crowded together and gradually merged into a twisted, struggling mixed body, slowly standing up from the blood pool.
The Bone Demon screamed excitedly and raised his hands: "Okay! Better! Work hard, your bones are weapons!" Obviously, what it wants is to create a new Bone Demon. However, the huge mixture of the soul suddenly tear into four parts and then stabilized. Hell shaped them, created four barb demons, and accompanied them with four armor and four spears.
It seemed to be a failure. Feiqi's mouth curled slightly, which angered the bone demon. It turned around and roared at Feiqi in anger, making threatening moves. In response to this provocation, Feiqi looked at his fingernails, then stretched out a finger and hooked it: "If you want to fight, fight, come here!"
The Bone Demon looked around and saw that there was only one contract demon in the Blood Pool, and the rest were all their own people. A contract demon is no match for the Bone Demon, let alone eight barb demons here. So where did this guy wearing a contract text scroll get the confidence? Wait, would this fearlessness be a trap?
It is very likely! The contract demon always uses contracts to create various strange effects. For example, it can sign a contract with a powerful creature, but the creature will only fight back when attacked. If this is the case, then any "unlucky guy" who actively attacks the contract demon is just a money-giving gift. Will the bone demon be unlucky guy? It is not the past, present and future. So it just made a few fierce expressions to the contract demon and continued to transform the work of the prayer.
The Bone Demon has never been successful. The previous time was at least four barb demons, and all of them could only create inferior demons - that was a worthless thing. Feiqi was anxious about it, but he didn't know that it was actually caused by himself. Could a big devil be created near the goddess' grace? The best result of forced attempts will also be reduced to the level. Therefore, the Bone Demon is impossible. The Barb Demon needs additional sacrifices. But this Bone Demon is very stingy and refuses to use more soul larvae, so in the end he can only sigh at the Barb Demon.
"Contract Demon, I only have three prayers and ten soul larvae left here. Are you interested in buying it?"
"I already have a lot of soul larvae." Feiqi said pretending: "Do you don't know what kind of evil consequences will be caused by using too many soul larvae?"
"In addition to being wasted too much, there will be bad consequences? This is the first time I have heard of the contract demon. Let's hear it?"
“In hell, intelligence and information have their own value.” Feiqi learns and uses it now. “Information about the tips for using soul larvae can improve you with considerable success rates in the future.”
"I've given you these prayers and soul larvae, and what do you think of it with the two spirit coins?"
"Fifty Spirit Coins, I guarantee that the information is worth the money."
Fifty spirit coins are a considerable expense, but it is this value that confuses the bone demon and makes it believe that the contract demon is really capable. After bargaining, the barge demon uses six prayers, thirty-six spirit coins and forty soul larvae (it is much more appropriate to temporarily let the barge demon go to the battlefield to buy and rob it, which is much more appropriate than buying it with spirit coins).
Feiqi has any knowledge, but it can fool it with enhancement rituals and previous phenomena of soul transfer. The bone demon saw that the enhancement rituals created with hell runes can indeed strengthen the strength of the breath of hell, and was instilled with a plausible theory that "the transference phenomenon enhances the degree of fusion between souls, which can make the prayer mix more solid and not easily break", so he accepted the conclusion that "using too much soul larvae will affect the transference phenomenon."
"Give it a lot of knowledge!" The bone demon sighed and walked away with satisfaction. It didn't go far before letting the barb demon leave first, and it turned around and lurked back, hiding in the dark and secretly observing Fitch, preparing to see what it was going to do by the blood pool. If possible, finding an opportunity to ambush the lonely devil is also a good business.
It noticed that the contract demon stood motionless by the blood pool, staring at the red blood in a daze, then shook his head in disappointment, and turned away. The bone demon suddenly felt guilty: the contract demon did nothing. In this way, the blood pool was not its purpose, it was itself! The theory it had guessed before suddenly became more solid, so it became more determined that it could not attack the contract demon. While the contract demon did not discover itself, the bone demon quickly escaped.
Feiqi did not see the Bone Demon, and even if he saw it, he could not guess that the scene inside it was so complicated. He just looked at the blood pool and thought of the tragic situations of the prayers who had soaked in it before. The faces of Feiqi, which seemed to be extremely painful and desperate, became even more desperate and painful when they were hit by the barb spear.
All those who go to hell have reasons to come down, and the marks left by the devil in their souls are real. If they are guilty, then Fitch has no sympathy for them torture in hell, but some souls do not necessarily do this - for example, being deceived by the contract demon.
Feiqi is not a complete devil, so he does not completely match the formal standards of the devil. After seeing these tortured souls, he thought of the devil contracts signed by him. He is not a saint, but he also has his own final bottom line: if he appears in the face of a devil and the other party is willing to sign a contract with him, then he feels reasonable no matter how evil the contract is. But he appears in the face of a human, or even as a goddess and priest, and deceives people to sign a soul contract without any clarity. This is not bad, it is just too much.
Yes, it's the price reduction. Feich has his own pride. It is this pride that makes him refuse to become a loyal believer of the goddess, and it is this pride that makes him return to the Styx. He still has several contracts in his hand, and the first thing he summoned and torn apart by him was Gresham Gary.
"You have fooled me once, I forgive you, I don't care, but this does not mean that your mistake has been corrected. I just became stronger and more qualified to become generous. Well, after saying this, I was almost moved by myself..." Feiqi tore up the contract that had been accumulating interest and threw it into the Styx to make sure it disappeared forever. "Your grandma's... well, the contract between your grandma and the Forward Demon was her own fault. I don't want to be this good person, but let's forget about the supplementary clause between her and me. Wait, I told her as a devil at that time, and she still chose to sign the contract..."
Feiqi thought about it for a while and put away the contract. "Gresham, I can give your family a chance to completely redeem this contract. I can forgive you for bullying me, but I am not qualified to forgive your grandma for others. God knows who your grandma has influenced in the process of making a fortune with the charm of the devil..."
He stood by the Styx, checked the contract on his body, and handled it according to his own standards. After he had processed these, he felt that he could really let go of the contract demon in his heart and turn himself into a brand new devil.
Say goodbye to the River Styx and return to the edge of the blood pool. There are a few more rows of footprints here, but now he is the only one left. The new devil was born here, the old devil died in battle nearby, and the dead devil and the demon left blood here. Feiqi expanded his entire vision and determined that there was no devil within a radius of ten miles. He seemed to be coming to the blood pool, so he began his own preparations.
Before, he fooled the bone demon, but the enhancement ritual was not entirely a fool. Using the skull column and surrounding terrain, and using the goodwill of hell to exchange for spell materials, Feiqi quickly arranged a hell version of the enhancement ritual. Then, he took out the sacrifices he had accumulated along the way, namely six prayers, thirty-six spirit coins and 66 soul larvae. Since it was a ritual, it was necessary to enhance the sense of ritual.
Several conditions are required to transform the soul into a devil: soul, hell environment, blood pool, and sacrifice. Feiqi found the relationship between them through observation, and through the process of fooling the bone demon, he also collected a lot of information about the sacrifice. The most versatile sacrifice is soul larvae, which has no attributes, no good and evil, no order and chaos, and has the least interference; the best sacrifice is a part of the vitality of the devil's body, which can make the new body obtained by the sacrifice more tend to the devil. The bone demon is reluctant to use his bones to create a new bone demon, which is its loss. Feiqi believes that the fork-way demon will not have any opinions on his horns participating in the sacrifice.
So the Soul Reaping Dagger (AKA Deep Demon Horn) also became part of the sacrifice. It is indeed a good weapon. It has saved Feiqi many times. Feiqi liked and admired it very much, but now he has put down his greed. According to the devil, everything is based on the maximization of interests, especially when it is harmful to others and selfish. According to the angel, put down the butcher knife and become...and so on, it seems to be a series of events, but the meaning is roughly the same.
Feiqi started the ceremony, exploded the body of the contract demon and walked into the blood pool in a black soul. The prayer immediately wanted to run, but the Qi element rope shot out from the black soul and pulled them all down. Pity, he had already paid before the process of becoming a demon began, and now it is no longer necessary.
The offerings melted one by one in the blood pool. Through the six levels of hell, Feiqi seemed to hear the roar of the fork-way demon in anger, which made him very happy. The dirty blood in the blood pool entered his soul and the change began.
What will it become? Feiqi looked at his arm. He felt the power of hell continue to enter, and countless terrible evil thoughts were constantly instilled in. At the same time, the devil needed to know in his duties. Through this knowledge, Feiqi found that he was about to become...
A bad devil?
Are you kidding? At least it should be a little devil or something? If you really want to become a bad demon, it will seriously affect Feiqi's plan! Feiqi is ready to let his new form kill the demon in exchange for real hell favor, and then continue to evolve. The bad demon's combat restrictions are too great, especially in terms of spells, which is not as good as humans, which affects the combat effectiveness too much! The little devil can at least use spells, and can be considered an intermediate devil in any case, right?
Feich's pride made him unable to accept the reality that he was just a low-level devil.
Fortunately, after the information of the inferior demon, new information was still pouring in, which means he was upgrading. But before Feiqi understood the information, the information stopped and the process of advancement came to an abrupt end. Or the inferior demon? Is the spiritual coins, soul larvae, soul dagger and prayer sacrifice not enough? Feiqi sighed and guessed that it might be because his soul was too mixed, or there were defects he had not discovered? But he would not accept his fate. He knew that the stronger the soul, the more likely it was to become a powerful devil! His experience as a contract demon had long told him how to make the soul fire vibrant in a short period of time!
He chose the most intense one: to do the most exciting thing in the wind and snow, that is to pray in hell with the spirit of death!
The light burst out from the magic technique instantly made the blood pool boil, and his soul body suddenly threw away all the contaminated blood and expanded to twice the original one. Hell was angered by the sacred energy, and the terrifying hell aura formed a strong wind, gathering from all directions, enclosing the blood pool. At this moment, a white light flashed, cutting the hell aura, instantly falling into the blood pool, and stopped in front of Feiqi. The slightly shaking was the pit god sword.
"Damn, your sword can actually travel through space? How many abilities do you hide? Also, do you like falling into a pit so much? After finally coming to hell, I actually chose the blood pit? It seems that my talent for naming is indeed extraordinary, and it is as appropriate as ever." Feiqi complained while holding the pit god sword in a sympathetic manner.
There are various forms of devils. People can directly become various devils from inferior demons to bone demons, but there is a creature that only has a fixed form. If the angels who once had good and sacred power choose to fall, they will become...
Demon of desire.
