Custom Made Demon King-Chapter 525: Strange Figure

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The corrosion of Void power alone would take a long time to transform an individual of the material world into one of the Void camp. Moreover, the more powerful the individual, the longer the time required.

For an Archangel like Auriel, even though she was immersed in this Void, Roy wasn’t sure how long it would take for the corrosion to complete, so this was just a casual move. After leaving the place where Auriel was, he wandered in this Void.

In the pair of mist wings behind him, some strange-looking patterns were constantly flickering like breathing lights. After he set the Void Flight ability for himself, they automatically appeared on his mist wings. These patterns seemed to have formed by the system on their own, and they could perhaps be called ‘Void Runes’. When these rune patterns shone, he could move freely in the Void.

Although there was a war in the High Heavens, Roy wasn’t in a hurry at all.

Mephisto and the others had prepared a massive demon army for him in the Burning Hells. The angels wouldn’t be able to exhaust this demon army in a short time, and more elite demon creatures had yet to appear.

It was rare for him to have such an opportunity to enter the Void, so of course he was unwilling to go back early. But reality didn’t change according to human will. After wandering for more than an hour, he regretted his decision.

Because there was really nothing here!

Emptiness, nothingness—even though the Eye of the Void allowed Roy to observe the Void world, there was nothing in this world for him to observe. The incomparably gigantic Void world was exactly the same no matter which direction he flew. There was no end, no edge.

Roy initially wanted to try and see if he could find any traces of Lilith. But looking at it now, he realized that this idea was unrealistic and that it was impossible to find anything. It was just like looking for a specific water molecule in the vast Pacific Ocean. It was too difficult.

He couldn’t find any traces of Lilith, and he couldn’t even see any legendary Void creatures. He didn’t know if they had yet to be born or if they were rare and difficult to encounter. In short, after wandering for a while, he decided to give up. There was no need to waste time in this Void world.

Therefore, Roy found a direction and began to move quickly. As he flew, he began to sense the Demon Eyes he had left in the High Heavens. When he felt that the signal was becoming clearer and clearer, he immediately confirmed that this direction was nearing the material world. As long as he flew forward, he would reach the edge of the material world.

It had to be said that Tyrael and Itherael had really used a lot of energy to exile Roy into the depths of the Void. With Roy’s current speed, it would take him a long time to finally return to the edge of the material world.

However, Tyrael and the others probably wouldn’t have thought that Roy could move freely in the Void. It had to be known that the reason why it was difficult for people exiled to the Void to return was largely because they couldn’t move in the Void, so they needed the help of people in the material world to ‘pull’ them back. To do this, not only did they have to establish a connection between the material world and the Void world, but they also often needed some special rituals… This was also why they couldn’t immediately pull Auriel back. They could only wait until the war in the High Heavens ended to prepare for this.

Throughout the ages, people who could take the initiative to return to the material world from the Void world could be said to be as rare as a miracle…

But now, there was one such miracle. After confirming that the signal between him and the Demon Eyes was completely stable, Roy immediately activated the exchange. With a flash of light, his figure immediately disappeared, and a small Demon Eye suddenly appeared where he had been. This Demon Eye, which was flapping its small wings, was trapped on the spot and couldn’t move. In just a few seconds, it was corroded by Void power and completely disappeared, turning into a part of the Void.

Just after the Demon Eye disappeared, a pair of golden eyes suddenly opened in the depths of the Void. These golden eyes had vertical pupils, which were typical demon pupils, but what was strange was that these demon eyes were golden.

With the opening of these golden demon eyes, a body the same color as the Void appeared. It seemed to have completely fused into the Void, and its entire body only had some blurry outlines.

Of course, even if someone was nearby, they wouldn’t be able to see this scene in the Void environment… The golden eyes revealed an incomparably cold expression. This strange figure quietly appeared in the Void and only stayed on the spot for a moment before beginning to move.

But this figure didn’t fly by relying on Wings of the Void like Roy. Instead, he maintained a stiff posture and flashed in the Void abruptly. The trajectory of his flashing was also a little strange. He didn’t flash in one direction but alternated left and right, forward and back. The trajectory was completely incomprehensible.

If you observed carefully, you would find that the power of Void corrosion had no effect on this figure. The particles around him that should have been corroded and dissipated were in a strange state of cessation. Half of some particles had even dissipated, while the other half still existed.

It was as though time around him had completely stopped…

Due to the strange flashing trajectory, this figure spent a lot of time before arriving at the area where Roy and Auriel had been. At this moment, Roy had already left, leaving only Auriel curled up in place and concentrating on resisting the combined corrosion of the Void and the curse.

This figure stood quietly beside Auriel, his golden eyes staring coldly at her. After a while, he slowly raised his hand, and an invisible and intangible force quickly enveloped her body.

It was like an invisible membrane of light, but Auriel didn’t notice it at all. But she was the only one who felt that nothing was wrong. If Roy were here, he would have found that every minute movement of her body seemed to have accelerated a lot, and even the unconscious shaking of the light wings behind her left an afterimage!

This was an unbelievable phenomenon. Everything was normal outside the invisible membrane of light, but Auriel seemed to be moving fast-forward inside…

When the owner of the golden eyes saw this scene, a cruel smile appeared in his cold eyes. Then his body didn’t move as he began to flash again. Every flash trajectory was exactly the same as when he came before, but it was a series of retreating images!

It was not until he finally returned to the exact place where he had first appeared that he closed his eyes again, and his entire body became one with the background of the Void…

All of this happened silently from beginning to end. It was as though this figure had never appeared, and only the invisible membrane of light surrounding Auriel remained…

In the High Heavens, the war outside the Silver City was still ongoing.

At this moment, in addition to the clouds and mist, there were countless grayish-black fine particles on the battlefield. These were the remnants of the demons killed by the angels with holy light during the war. Under the burning of the holy light, the souls of the dead demons returned to the Burning Hells, but their corpses turned into black ashes. These ashes were left on the battlefield and fluttered with the shock waves caused by the battle, filling the entire battlefield.

It was imaginable how many demons had died at the hands of angels during this time.

The demons suffered heavy casualties, and the angels were not doing much better. A large number of gray angel armor was embedded in the ground in all kinds of strange postures. These were all relics left behind by the angels who had died in battle. Every fallen angel armor had been trampled by at least a thousand demons.

This battlefield was like a meat grinder. The fanatical and bloodthirsty demons never knew what it meant to retreat. After teleporting from the Burning Hells to the High Heavens, they continuously attacked the city wall of the Silver City and fought against the angels that approached. Out of hatred for the power of holy light, the demons didn’t need any command at all and spontaneously fought against the enemy. When the ones in front fell, the ones behind would immediately fill in.

Such a crazy offensive naturally had an effect. While Roy was away, the barrier of the Silver City had been broken because it had exhausted its energy. The demons that could fly had already flown into the Silver City and began to destroy it wantonly. Unfortunately, the ground troops couldn’t keep up, so the angel warriors killed these flying demons in the end.

The reason why the ground troops could not keep up was that they were blocked by the Diamond Gates. This incomparably solid gate, together with the equally solid city wall around it, firmly protected the Silver City. The powerful giant demons held their weapons and banged them on the city wall and gate with all their might, but they couldn’t leave the slightest trace of damage on them.

The confidence of the High Heavens came from this. The sturdiness of the Diamond Gates and the city wall had been verified in countless battles during the Eternal Conflict. Out of trust in the Diamond Gates and the city wall, the angels carried out Imperius’s battle orders in an orderly manner.

After Roy was exiled, the three Archangels were free to join the battlefield and command the troops. Apart from encountering some stronger demon lords, neither Imperius nor Tyrael took action. They were mostly commanding the angel army to fight.

As for Itherael, he had already returned to the Library of Fate. He was not good at fighting, so his mission now was to use the power of the Scroll of Fate to find Auriel and bring his sister back.

Imperius was commanding, and Tyrael was leading a portion of the army to attack the portals, wanting to close them to prevent more demons from entering the High Heavens. Everything was going smoothly, and the balance of victory was tilting toward the High Heavens.

However, just as Tyrael felt that victory was in sight, an incomparably powerful and familiar aura suddenly appeared on the battlefield!

Without any sign, Roy returned to the battlefield of the High Heavens!

Flying in the sky, Tyrael saw Roy appear with his own eyes and gasped. His blood pressure soared, and he felt dizzy.. He almost fell from the sky.
