◎A soul from another world?◎
Under the gaze of the demons, Warren reached out and brushed off the non-existent dust on his sleeves.
Although he didn't know why the hidden task appeared, it was a timely relief, and Warren certainly wouldn't be polite.
"The energy of this magic circle has been exhausted. It will not be activated again without fresh flesh and blood," he said calmly. "Fei Wu, Tie Chui, the two of you go in and take a look at the structure and function of the magic circle."
Feiwu and Tiechui responded in unison.
Without any hesitation, they walked into the magic circle, first destroying the outermost layer of protective magic that concealed the magic fluctuations, and then were blown off their feet by the bloody and terrifying magic fluctuations and almost fell to the ground.
All the demons present couldn't help but tremble.
"How could this happen?" Arabella cried out, "With such a strong blood curse, how many demons would it take to kill?"
No demon answered him.
The goblin Barlow was shaking the most violently: he was the weakest and had the strongest perception of magical fluctuations, and was completely unable to withstand such brutal and dangerous magical suppression. He fell to the ground, sweating profusely and almost unable to breathe.
...
...
Feiwu and Tiechui, who were in the magic circle, also felt a huge pressure. They struggled to maintain their standing posture, groping around, and after a while, they worked together to pull out the stone on the far left, and used fire magic to burn the magic circle pattern on the stone clean.
The fluctuation of magic power suddenly eased a lot.
With the help of Alex, the goblin Barlow slowly got up from the ground.
"What is the blood curse?" he asked weakly, "Why is there a blood curse in the foundation of the Demon King's Palace? What's going on with this magic circle?"
The Nightmare Demon Sur bit his lips and his face turned pale.
In her eyes, the Demon King had clearly seen through the magic circle, but still let Fei Wu and Tie Chui try to deal with it. This was both a trust in Fei Wu and Tie Chui, as well as a cultivation of them.
As a demon who also possessed superb magical abilities, she couldn't help feeling a little lost at first, until she heard the magical fluctuations mixed with blood and rain, and then she realized with a trembling hand that she might not be able to handle a magic array of this level - her magic was more life-oriented, and she didn't dabble much in combat and destruction.
However, with Sul's attainments in magic, although she felt that it would be difficult to break the magic circle under the bloody pressure, she could still understand it now that the magic circle had been fully revealed.
"Blood Curse is a general term for magic that uses blood and life as energy sources," she answered Barlow's question. "If I'm not mistaken, this magic array should be a non-aggressive devouring array that absorbs fresh blood, flesh and souls and converts them into another powerful force. This array is generally used to activate magic weapons or reverse life. However, I have only heard of it. This is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes."
As she spoke, she looked towards the Demon King with a curious gaze, obviously wanting to ask her own king whether her analysis was correct.
Warren, who was also listening attentively, said: "..."
How could he know whether it was correct or not? His understanding of this magic circle was not even as good as that of the goblin Barlow.
Pretending not to notice Sur's gaze, he looked towards Tiechui and Feiwu in the center of the magic circle and saw that the two of them had destroyed several core parts of the formation in succession and were about to destroy the blood formation.
Feiwu, who was busy removing the stones, suddenly paused. He caught a glimpse of something sharp and glowing out of the corner of his eye. He flapped his wings, approached cautiously, and turned to look at Warren inquiringly: "My lord, there is a crystal ball here - this thing should be the destination of the energy of this rubbish magic circle."
Tiechui came closer and looked at it carefully: "So this magic circle is really used to activate magic weapons?"
Warren strode over there.
Perhaps it was because it was exposed to the air for too long. As soon as Warren walked in front of the crystal ball, the crystal ball, which had long been cut off from its energy source, shattered with a click. Blood-red smoke floated out of the shattered crystal ball, accompanied by a sharp, hoarse, and hazy voice.
"A soul from another world..."
"The only possibility of breaking that barrier..."
“…The demons will return to the top of the world!”
These strange fragmented pieces, which couldn't even form a complete sentence, left Warren completely confused. He pinched his temples and looked at the demon beside him inconspicuously.
Most of the demons were confused, only Tiechui and Sul's faces changed slightly, obviously they knew something.
The smoke soon dissipated. Feiwu poked the broken pieces of the crystal ball with the tip of his wing to confirm that it was harmless. He then stepped on it with disgust and said, "Who would kill thousands of demons for this broken thing?"
The moment he saw the blood formation, the person who set up this formation was already very obvious - although the former Demon King of the Demon Realm also advocated violence, he was definitely not like the previous Demon King, who ran to various places in the Demon Realm from time to time to massacre and exterminate clans, and even spared his own slaves and confidants.
"I remember that when I was just an adult, there was a period of time when the previous demon king killed many demons," Liel recalled. "At that time, he did not even let go of the young and older demon soldiers. The six elders who served as stewards of the familiars were killed in succession at that time. We originally thought that the previous demon king was in a bad mood. It is also possible that the energy of this crystal ball is not enough?"
Warren rubbed his fingertips.
"Let's clean up this place first," he sighed and looked at Tiechui, "The magic circle has been destroyed. Once the foundation is cleaned up, we can start rebuilding the Demon King's Palace. Also, don't tell anyone about this for now."
The demons nodded obediently.
To them, it was more like listening to a story. Apart from intuitively feeling how many demons the previous Demon King had killed, they did not have much feeling at all.
As they watched the Demon King go away, they rolled up their sleeves and helped move the large stones from the foundation of the Demon King's palace, happily praising their king.
"The king was able to see through such a powerful formation at a glance!" Alex gestured exaggeratedly, "And when the bloody suppression appeared, the king didn't even move!"
Su Er was distracted and responded to him with humming words.
Once when she was traveling around the Demon Realm, she encountered a fallen angel.
Most demons have heard of the Fallen Angels. It is said that they are not native to the Demon Realm, but came here from outside the Demon Realm. However, almost no demon knows what the outside of the Demon Realm is like, and they don't care. After all, it is too extravagant to consider these things when survival is quite difficult.
But Sur happened to see the fallen angel, and out of curiosity, he chatted with the fallen angel for a while longer.
The fallen angel said that the Demon Realm of Savia is a corrupted place, and all magic used by the demons are forbidden black magic. The demons living here were driven to this barren continent because of their failure in the war with the light side.
In the words of the fallen angel, his former home was the bright and glorious land of Gods, where there was fragrant wine, palaces with white domes, countless delicacies and gorgeously dressed archangels.
"Then why don't you go back?" Suer asked at that time.
The fallen angel wept.
"My ancestors chose the wrong side, and we were also defeated," he said with sobs, "The Protoss, Dragons, and Beastmen have set up a barrier at the edge of the Demon Realm. All creatures of dark magic cannot pass through that barrier."
——Is the barrier that the fallen angel mentioned the same barrier as the one in the crystal ball?
Was it the former Demon King’s goal to break through the barrier and leave the Savia Demon Realm?
Sur thought deeply and decided to go to his king at night and tell him what the fallen angel had said.
…
[Triggering quest: Mysterious Array, completed.]
[Task 1: Completion status, good.]
[Task 2: Completion status, average.]
[Reward: Magic Crystal X10]
After listening to the system broadcast quietly, Warren pursed his lips and tapped the Demon King's Crown that he had placed on the table.
"System," he asked softly, "Who is the soul from another world referring to? Is it me? Or is it the person who gave the Dark Iron Dwarves the magic runes eight hundred years ago and instigated the Lich Chieftain Pikachu to assassinate the former Demon King?"
The system remains silent, pretending to be in sleep mode.
Warren did not force him. His eyelashes drooped slightly, and he became more alert to the system.
Could the mysterious black robe from eight hundred years ago be the previous host of the system? If so, where is that person now? Could this demon king's body be that person's body?
Amidst my complicated thoughts, there was a knock on the door.
Warren said "Come in" and was not surprised to see Sur and Tiechui push the door and walk in.
"Are you here to talk about the barrier?" Warren tilted his head.
Sur nodded: "My lord, I once met a fallen angel..."
She finished talking about the fallen angel, calmed down, and turned to look at Tiechui.
Tiechui was speechless: "I am going to say the same thing."
Warren rubbed his forehead and asked, "How did you know?"
"The elders told us before," Tiechui said honestly, "I don't know how the elders knew it."
Warren was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I understand. You've worked hard, go back and rest."
The two demons wagged their tails.
"It's okay, we're not tired!" Suer said happily. After thinking for a while, he felt that his king didn't look very happy, so he added, "My king, you are definitely the best demon king in the Demon Realm! The previous demon king wanted to break the barrier, but he didn't care about the demons at all. He just wanted to satisfy his own desire for conquest. He killed tens of thousands of demons!"
Tiechui was shocked: "My Lord, you are not really comparing yourself with the previous Demon King, are you? There is no comparison. We will not compare the Crystal Core with a stone. You are ten thousand times better than the Crystal Core!"
"Stop talking nonsense," Warren finally couldn't help laughing, "Hurry up and go!"
Soul: “Okay!”
She waved at the devil and left, dragging Tiechui with her.
Warren walked around the room, his heavy mood gone by these jokes. After thinking for a while, he sat back at the table and decided to draw a card first.
He hasn't even dealt with the rebellion in the Demon Realm yet, so it's too early to think about the barrier and things outside the Demon Realm.
"I hope I can draw some useful information cards," he muttered to himself, "The living environment in our Demon Realm must not be worse than that of the God Clan!"
The author has something to say:
Warren: Infrastructure is the way to go!!!
