Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Betrayer
Stimulated by the magic, the engram glowed faintly, and then an image was projected from the crystal.
In the image, it is the image of a demon, this demon is half-human, the lower body is on all fours, it looks like some kind of animal, and the upper body is humanoid, with five fingers on both arms, and the muscles are not very developed, but the strange thing is that this demon has no face on the head, and his face is actually on his chest! At the position of the pectoralis major muscle, there is a pair of his eyes, which look big, but they are also very weird, because the pupil in the eyeball is actually horizontal!
At first glance, this kind of horizontal pupil eyeball seems to be squinting, but when you look at it for a while, you will feel extremely uncomfortable, and you always feel that the pupil is staring at you at all times.
On his abdomen, there was a hideous mouth, and the sharp teeth in the mouth were exposed, staggered in the abdomen, and the color of these teeth was different from the skin of his abdomen, so it looked as if the demon's entire abdomen had been broken in two.
Just by looking at the appearance, this demon is indeed quite bluffing...... It's the kind of demon that is typical of monsters.
In addition to this image, there is also a demonic word sealed in the engram, and the owner of the voice is the voice of the superior demon Adrah that Roy heard before.
"Cizer, a middle-level upper-level demon, a demon bloodline, good at using illusion magic, was originally a warrior under the command of the demon lord Lord Logelos, but he stole a magic weapon from Lord Logelos and fled, and hid in another world, because he couldn't locate the world he was in, so he couldn't hunt down across the world, but it didn't matter, the power of world rejection would send him back, this engram crystal also had a role, that is, to perceive Lord Logerlos's magic weapon, Once Cizer is banished back into the abyss by the forces of the world, the engram will immediately notify you, kill him, and bring back his faceless head with the magic weapon! ”
After listening to these materials, Roy felt that his tail was about to be knotted, how could this task be like this??
It's easy to say that the target of the execution, the level of the middle and upper level is nothing, it's nothing more than that the magic power is much higher than Roy's, give Roy a little time, relying on the essence magic energy potion, he can catch up, but this demon turned out to be an illusion, that is, it should be very good at deceiving and playing with illusions, otherwise, it would be impossible to steal a demon lord's things.
Of course, it is also possible that the Demon Lord was negligent......
Unlike when in another world, in the abyss world, because there is no power of repulsion, there are few demon contracts between demons and demons, and it seems that the contract signed in the abyss world cannot take effect, the demons of the upper ruling class rely on powerful force to control resources, these resources may be the knowledge inheritance of demons, or they may be souls or something that can strengthen demons, such as the blood of demons in the pool of the quenching place, but because there is no contract, If the demons of the lower classes want to obtain these resources, they usually have to work for the demons of the ruling class, and by doing things for them or fighting for them, in exchange for these resources, which is a typical way of hiring.
Of course, there are very few cases of loyalty with such effectiveness, otherwise there would not be such a betrayal as Cizer, and I am afraid that there are quite a lot of similar situations, not only in Lord Lojelos, but also in other demon lords, and in order to hunt down these betrayers, the abyss world also gave birth to a unique name, that is, "Execution Demon"!
What was the specific process of Cizer's betrayal, Roy was not entangled, nor was he interested in understanding, but he also saw from this information that the target of his execution this time should be relatively high intelligence.
This kind of shrewd demon is strictly speaking the devil...... This kind of devil who knows how to use the advantage of intelligence is much more difficult to deal with than those who only know how to rely on strength to pass by recklessly.
The most troublesome thing is that this guy is hiding in another world!
Now, Roy finally knew why Adrach had given him a year to complete this task, and the reason was that there were so many worlds connected by the Abyss Gate, so the devil knew which world he had hid into?
Although Aydrach said in the engram that the power of the world would expel him back, didn't Aydrach think that if Cizer signed a demon contract with a summoner in another world, and then never completed it, wouldn't he be able to stay in that world for a long time and not come back? How do you get the job done?
"No, Edrakh is also a high-ranking demon, so it is impossible to make such a common-sense mistake......" Roy unconsciously wagged his tail and thought: "Or is it that I misunderstood before, even if there is a demon contract, there is a time limit for the demon to stay in the other world?" For example, how long is the maximum and how long? ”
The more Roy thought about it, the more likely it was that this was the case, just like he had just imagined, if he really signed a demon contract with a certain summoner, and then kept relying on it to prevent the contract from being completed, so that the demon would stay in the other world for a long time, then the loopholes of this demon contract would be too big!
Combined with Roy's experience in the Hero Invincible World, in that kind of high demon world, demons have no contract, and they can almost rely on their own magic power to fight against the power of the world, so as to stay for half a year to a year, then Roy estimates that even if there is a demon contract, the time that demons can stay in a world is probably not more than two years at most!
And the lower the world, the more likely this time is to be shortened, and even if the demon and the summoner do not complete the contract, the power of the world will forcibly expel the demon back.
As for whether this is a demon who failed to complete the contract, or is it a summoner who failed to complete the contract? Roy didn't know about this, he hadn't been in such a situation after all.
Roy guessed that Aedrakh gave a year because this demon Cizer should have fled for a while, with the power of his median demon, I am afraid he would not dare to flee to those high demon worlds, high demon worlds generally have powerful races and characters, a middle demon, in that kind of world, it is estimated that he has to live carefully, put himself in his shoes, Roy feels that if he is Cezel, it is impossible to escape to this kind of world.
If he can't go to the High Demon World, then he can only go to the Middle Demon World, because if he wants to prolong his stay in the other world as much as possible, he can't choose the Low Demon World, and the repulsive power of that kind of world is too strong.
If the longest time that the Middle Demon World can stay in is between half a year and a year and a half, then Roy speculates that this Cizer may have escaped for half a year at most!
In this way, Aydrach gave himself a year of mission time, which can be explained.
However, then again, the magic in the engram can only track the magic weapon of the demon lord Logelos, but not Cizer himself, isn't he afraid that Cizer will quietly bury that magic weapon in the other world where he stays, and then be secretly expelled back to the abyss? If he came back like this, he wouldn't be able to track him down.
Moreover, the so-called magic weapon should be a demonic creation, right? Since it is a demon creation, there should be a demon lord's soul fragment in it, even if you cross the world, it is impossible not to perceive your soul fragment at all, right? Even Gabriel can tear apart time and space when he senses that something is wrong with his soul fragment and forcibly descend to the past, even if the demon lord is not as good as the archangel, but can't he even position it?
Unless...... Unless that magic weapon was not created by the demon lord Logelos, but was snatched from other demons, and without his own soul fragment, of course he couldn't perceive it.
After sorting out all these situations that can be deduced from the information, Roy couldn't help but touch the demon horn on his head, no wonder when Edrah gave himself the task, he didn't say what to do if he didn't meet the execution target, it seems that he is already dead, within a year, Cizer will definitely be expelled back once, as for the magic weapon, it may be very important to Cizer, otherwise, it is impossible to risk offending the demon lord to steal it, then, When he is expelled back, it is estimated that he will carry it with him nine times out of ten, and will not leave it in the other world.
After the demon returns to the abyss world, there will be a cooldown period, and this cooldown period is because the remnants of the world's repulsion power in the demon's body need to be neutralized with the help of the power of the abyss world, so during this cooldown period, the demon cannot immediately go to other worlds through the abyss gate.
If you want to complete the mission, you have to find Cizer during this cooldown period!
After understanding how he was going to complete the task, Roy put away the engram crystal, he drew a chain casually, threaded the crystal into a bracelet, and hung it on his wrist, so that when Cizer appeared in the abyssal world, the crystal would light up, and he could immediately find it.
After taking this task, Roy can't go to other worlds for the time being, at least for this year, and he must pay attention to Cizer's return at any time, but it doesn't matter, first, Roy has now successfully become a mid-level demon, and he also needs to adapt to the situation in the mid-level abyss world, and second, he thinks it's best to take advantage of this time to fight with those mid-level and upper-middle demons to see where the difference is between this kind of demons of the same rank and different levels, and how big it is, so that when the time comes to complete the execution task, for the upper Cizer is more certain.
The best case scenario is that Roy can encounter other illusions in the middle of the abyss, which is the best way to deepen his understanding.
This execution task, Roy didn't want to end up being a punishment task for himself, and he was also curious about the reward that Adrah could give, the other party was a servant of the demon lord, and he was backed by the demon lord, he should have more resources than the other high-ranking demons, right? I don't know what kind of reward he can give......
