"Master!"
A deep voice sounded.
A humanoid demon appeared before Su Ziyu. Unlike other demons, only a blurred outline of the Assassin Demon could be seen, and this was only because it deliberately exposed itself to Su Ziyu. If Su Ziyu were not a Demon Lord, he might have only vaguely sensed the existence of the Assassin Demon through perception ability.
The appearance of the Assassin Demon was not very clear. It looked sowhat like a humanoid demon in outline, the entire body hidden in shadows, exuding an aura of evil and danger.
—— "Assassin Demon (High Tier Demon): A unique advanced form among demons, wielding certain shadow powers. Stealth Master, Permanent Invisibility, Demon Power, Demon Skin, Shadow Mastery, High-level Teleportation, Summon Shadow, Master of Assassination, Sneak Attack, Poison Quenching. High Morale."
The Assassin Demon was relatively smaller compared to other demons, perhaps even shorter than the average person, yet its power was truly terrifying.
This is a demon born at a Legendary Level.
According to the system data provided by the Death God, the Assassin Demon is a high-tier demon with a challenge level of 18, while the challenge level of the Six-ard Snake Demon is only 17.
What Su Ziyu valued most was its [Permanent Invisibility] ability.
The Assassin Demon was a demon with relatively high intelligence.
After creating it, Su Ziyu imdiately ordered, "Head west to explore and gather intelligence on the Devils."
The Abyss Lurkers were eliminated.
All the Abyss Lurkers near that area were being hunted down by so cat-like creature.
That area was a blind spot in Su Ziyu's vision.
Yet, it was very close to Su Ziyu's second Abyssal Blood Pool, and he needed to understand the situation in that region, preferably assessing the Devils' strength.
The Assassin Demon quickly disappeared from sight.
After dispatching the Assassin Demon, Su Ziyu continued to lead his forces to sweep the eastern region. Currently, he was not lacking in the Power of Slaughter, but was sowhat short on Demon Gene. An interesting point was that he could obtain Demon Gene by killing Devils, though he did not know what blood relation existed between Devils and Demons because he saw quite a few Soul Worms in the Devil-occupied area.
anwhile.
In a grand Skeleton Fortress, the long-sealed laboratory door finally opened.
"Damn it!"
"Why did it fail again?" said Rog, the Witch Demon, frustratedly as he walked out.
Behind him lay shards of broken keel bones, and the laboratory showed signs of an explosion.
"Master." A ghost swiftly flew over.
The Witch Demon nad Rog glanced at it, seemingly recalling sothing, and asked, "What's the situation? Did those demons co here again?"
"No." The ghost hesitantly answered in a low voice, "They attacked the Land of Burial for a few days and then gave up."
"However..."
Today, the Witch Demon's mood seed sowhat irritable, and he asked in a deep voice, "However, what?..."
"Master, they killed that Red Dragon," the ghost's voice trembled slightly.
It couldn't understand.
If the demons could kill that Red Dragon, then they could definitely break into the Skeleton Fortress. Although they might not be able to defeat a Witch Demon, the Land of Burial surely couldn't stop the demon army.
Why did that demon suddenly retreat then?
"What?!" The Witch Demon looked shocked, partly awed by how rapidly the demons' power was growing, and partly because he hadn't anticipated that the Red Dragon would be killed.
However, the next mont he looked pleasantly surprised, the soul fire burning in his eyes leapt as he mumbled, "That ans they have the corpse of a Red Dragon? And perhaps even the soul of a Red Dragon?"
"I have materials for my experints again!"
The Witch Demon expressed excitent, swiftly leaving, saying, "I'm going to et that Demon Lord. You stay in the Skeleton Fortress."
Lord's Hall.
Just as Su Ziyu sat upon the simple throne, contemplating the next step of expansion, the Enchanting Demon adjutant suddenly appeared, looking sowhat nervous, "Master!"
"A Witch Demon has co outside! He says he wants to et you!"
Witch Demon?
The Witch Demon from the north?
He actually dared to co straight to see ? Isn't he afraid I'll kill him?
Oh right.
He doesn't seem to be afraid.
In this world, Witch Demons can revive. The system has recorded Witch Demons' data; when transforming into a Witch Demon, they create sothing called a Life Box. If the Life Box isn't destroyed and just their bodies are, it's impossible to truly kill a Witch Demon.
"Bring him in," Su Ziyu said in a deep voice.
Soon.
An undead, clad in a grey-black robe, appeared in the Lord's Hall. Unlike Bird he had seen earlier, this one was completely a skeleton, with soul fire dancing in his eye sockets, wearing three different rings on his finger bones, astonishingly displaying a rather amiable look. The slightly opened jawbone seed to be smiling.
Can you understand that feeling?
A skull with a smiling expression, it looked quite creepy.
"Hello, Demon Lord." The Witch Demon in front appeared hasty, imdiately speaking, "I heard you killed that botherso Red Dragon?"
"Could you give its keel and soul?"
"Of course."
"I'll certainly give you satisfactory rewards!"
So he wasn't here because of the attack on the Land of Burial. This Witch Demon's visit was actually for the Red Dragon's remains and soul.
Seems like a potential partner for collaboration?
Su Ziyu glanced at the Witch Demon, rising with his massive fra, though the aura of a Leader Level demon seed ineffective against a Witch Demon, as he felt no fear, continuing to gaze at Su Ziyu with the soul fire in his eye sockets.
"What reward? What can you offer ?" Su Ziyu slowly asked.
The Witch Demon appeared interesting, scratching his skull with a finger bone, he asked in return, "What do you want?"
"Souls? Rare items? Treasures?"
"As long as they're not too troubleso, I can find them for you."
Rare items?
An idea sparked in Su Ziyu's mind, and he said solemnly, "What rare items do you have? Don't try to fool with junk! This is a Red Dragon, after all!"
"I am a Witch Demon," the Witch Demon nad Rog seed sowhat excited, hoarsely declared, "Do you know what being a Witch Demon ans? Demon!"
This Witch Demon seed proud of his identity.
Continuing in his hoarse voice, "The junk you ntioned, I do not possess! I only have the highest quality items! They are arcane artifacts that only legendary spellcasters could create!"
This Witch Demon isn't bad.
Su Ziyu liked dealing with people like this.
"Let see." Su Ziyu naturally softened his tone.
The Witch Demon spread his hands, saying, "I didn't bring them with . But I can give you a list, and you can decide. I'll bring them over for a trade."
"Don't try any tricks!"
"You know, enraging a Witch Demon is a terrifying thing."
Su Ziyu's attitude improved, slowly stating, "You'll soon discover, I'm different from other demons."
"I'm a man of my word."
"Bring it on."
"I'm also curious about what good things you have!"
