Chapter 556 - 321: An Unpalatable Soul (Double-Length)
"We’ll know soon enough."
Rogel said indifferently.
Anyway, it’s just a small interlude. He doesn’t care about the true nature of Qiao Wei.
After Rogel and Furuya flew a certain distance.
A floating island emitting deadly black poisonous smoke slowly appeared before Rogel.
On this island, there was an exaggerated, ugly, and flamboyantly styled fortress.
Around the fortress, some unknown viscous red liquid flowed, patrolled by Beast Little Demons.
Above the fortress gate, a hideous and terrifying Beast Demon head hung, clearly a loser.
Rogel released his perception to probe a bit.
After confirming that what he needed was within, Rogel transformed into black mist and penetrated the fortress.
In the fortress with a scarlet bloodthirsty style.
A demon with its lower body made up of floating dust was intently researching something in front of a Ritual Array.
Prometheus’s upper body didn’t resemble a human’s either, instead, it was covered in snake-like scales, with four claws hovering on either side.
However, his face was quite handsome, with deep, profound eyes.
"No! Don’t!"
"Another filthy soul! Damn it!"
"I’m not putting in all this effort just to acquire these vile souls!"
"I can buy three of these souls for one Copper Coin—do you think souls you can purchase with money would be delicious, you damned fool!"
"Keep searching! Or I won’t mind dragging your foolish soul into the Sea of Demons!"
Prometheus seemed to be communicating angrily with someone through the Ritual Array, shouting and yelling.
"Hmm... looks like he’s found a human traitor to help purchase souls..."
Rogel stood next to him, stroking his chin and commenting.
But Prometheus didn’t notice a thing.
Though he was a Demon Guardian, he clearly lacked the power to discern the methods of a Demigod.
[Prometheus]
[Type: Elemental Demon]
[Quality: Dominator]
[Level: 75]
[Tier: Demon Guardian (Angel)]
[Explanation: "An Angel Tier demon?", oh, damn, what kind of outstanding individual could conceive such a terrible sentence? I think we should shove an automatic umbrella up his ass and forcefully open it!]
"...Lord Rogel, it seems quite angry..."
Furuya glanced at it fearfully.
This Elemental Demon was obviously of a higher tier than her, giving her a kind of bloodline-related fear.
"I know."
Rogel nodded calmly.
Then he raised his hand and withdrew the Mysterious Power surrounding himself.
"Hmm?"
The still angry Demon Guardian Prometheus quickly noticed the presence of Rogel and Furuya, which startled him. A wary look appeared on his handsome face.
Then, he retreated two steps, looking vigilantly and apprehensively at Rogel and Furuya.
"Human, enchanting demon... who are you? Why did you suddenly appear here?"
He spoke while trying to summon his subordinates.
However, Rogel slowly raised his hand without hesitation.
This action made Prometheus feel both shocked and terrified, loudly reprimanding.
He glared angrily at Rogel, his body started to slowly expand, and his aura surged violently.
"Damn intruders! Are you trying to start a fight?!"
"Hahaha, don’t you know the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth, you’re too naive!"
"I! Am Prometheus! The master of this Demon Fortress! The ruler of tens of thousands of demons, recognized by the will of the Sea of Demons as a Demon Guardian..."
Ugh...
Around him, illusory wraiths began to wail, red mist surged out, and the entire Demon Fortress trembled accordingly.
Compared to this, Rogel seemed so tiny.
"Hahahaha, I am Prometheus... my power... boundless and limitless!"
Prometheus let out terrifying, manic laughter, showing the strongest stance of a demon.
...
Smack.
Rogel stepped on his face: "Say again, what were you just now?"
"I... I am Prometheus, your captive, at your command, my lord..."
Prometheus lay on the ground, feeling humiliated, but could only pretend to smile, not daring to resist.
Inside, he screamed in desperation.
Why am I so unlucky!
Where on earth did this sudden Demigod human come from!
"Good." Seeing him become much more obedient, Rogel nodded slightly and removed his foot: "Stand up, I need you to do me a favor."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Prometheus felt incredibly aggrieved inside.
Damn, is this how you ask a Demon Guardian for help?
"Prometheus is obliged, my lord."
Prometheus put on a serious face, eyes determined as if fulfilling the most noble task.
’Lord Rogel... is so strong...’
Furuya stood behind him, unconsciously cupping her flushed cheeks, her pupils turning pink.
...this is not an exaggeration; the pupils of the Succubus Race do indeed turn pink.
Rogel took out the Illusory Black Stone.
"Remove the curse on this for me."
After speaking, Rogel handed it to Prometheus.
Prometheus carefully took it and began to examine it using all his strength.
But soon, his actions halted, looking at Rogel with a troubled face, fearfully swallowing.
"This... my lord, the curse on this... I cannot remove it..."
"Hmm?" Rogel’s brow furrowed.
Whoosh!
Although Rogel hadn’t taken any action yet, Prometheus already felt a pressing sense of oppression around him, his body started to soften continuously, almost curling into a ball, his body and head becoming the same size.
